These young men must possess many valuable things; Taoist Liang had already been planning this for a long time.
He sent his apprentice to keep watch from a distance. Once he saw Qin Weiyu and Yan Susu go up the mountain, he immediately went to inform the three people in the inn that they had been bewitched by a peach demon and that everyone should go together to rescue them.
But he didn't expect things to turn out this way. Five people stood by, ready to stand idly by, while he was caught in a dilemma by the peach demon.
But now, there is no room for maneuver.
He grabbed Yan Susu, who looked the youngest, and pulled out a dagger, holding it to her neck.
He said to the remaining four members of the Xuanqing Sect, "Hurry up and subdue this prodigy. You don't want your lovely junior sister to get hurt, do you?"
Yan Susu blinked and looked at the four people opposite her, who were equally speechless.
After Liang Daoren finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Damn it, the worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.
Liang Daoren's palms were sweating slightly as he thought: "Isn't that your own junior sister in my hand? Right? Right?"
Surprisingly, the little girl herself wasn't nervous at all and simply looked up.
She looked at him carefully with her large, clear eyes, then smiled at him.
Liang Daoren was stunned for a moment, still wondering what the child was laughing at, when Liu Tiao swung the dagger.
Then, attacks came from all directions from a thin willow branch.
Although Yan Susu is not very old, she is, after all, the champion of the Xuanqing Sect's branch arena.
Moreover, she had been cultivating in the Void Sacrifice Illusionary Realm for a year. She could wield a willow branch with great force, and without even using much strength, she quickly knocked down the entire group from the Eight Mu Feng Temple.
This series of actions surprised even Peach Fairy.
Yan Susu dusted off non-existent dirt from her clothes, skipped over to Qin Weiyu, and said:
"Senior sister, aren't I amazing?"
Qin Weiyu looked at her, smiled, and nodded.
Yan Susu had a "I'm so awesome" look on her face.
Everyone: What's with this sudden change in style?
Seeing this, the peach demon was no longer in a state of high alert. She withdrew her magical form and returned to the size of a normal human.
He walked up to the group and said:
"You all suit my temperament. Why don't we become friends and come to my house for a visit?"
After speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a flurry of peach petals swept up the Taoist priests lying on the ground and threw them down the mountain without harming their lives.
Qin Weiyu didn't care, Yan Susu was excited to go, while Ming Xue and his sister and Qing Qiong hesitated.
They were originally orthodox cultivators and should not have had any dealings with demons.
However, during the year they spent in the Void Sacrifice Illusion, their interactions with Qingyao and Liu San allowed them to gain a better understanding of the demon race and to overcome their previous prejudices against demons.
So in the end, Ming Xue decided to accept the peach demon's invitation and became a guest in her white jade pavilion.
The peach fairy's maidservants served tea and snacks, including peach leaf tea and peach blossom cakes, and also prepared a small pot of peach blossom wine for each person.
Yan Susu whispered to Qin Weiyu, "Senior Sister, is she a peach tree spirit?"
Qin Weiyu nodded. Didn't she already know that?
"What does it mean that she's feeding us this? Is she cutting off our flesh to feed the eagles?"
Qin Weiyu swallowed the tea in her mouth with difficulty, almost spitting it out from laughing, and even so, she coughed for a long time.
Everyone looked over. Qin Weiyu waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but her face was slightly flushed. Her usually indifferent face was now filled with a smile, a lively look that none of them had ever seen before.
The peach blossom fairy naturally knew what they were talking about, and also found Yan Susu, this little girl, to be very interesting.
After this little incident, the peach spirit introduced herself: "My name is Tao Jian, and as you can see, I am a peach tree spirit. I invited you here today because I like your qualities and temperaments very much, and I think it would be suitable to kill you to make nutrients for the peach tree." After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly and raised her hand to drink a cup of tea.
Everyone's expression changed; they hadn't expected it to be a trap. They secretly channeled their spiritual energy, preparing to wait for the other party to make their move.
Tao Jian's expression remained unchanged. He put down his teacup, looked at the wary teenagers, and smiled even more broadly: "I was just joking. The willow branch that little girl was holding was a token from an elder of my clan. As long as you have it, the plant spirits won't harm you."
As mentioned before, Liu San gave different items to everyone, and this willow branch was only given to Yan Susu.
Now that they heard that this willow branch had such a great use, they were filled with envy.
However, Peach Fairy's earlier joke left everyone with some reservations, making their conversation a little awkward.
Tao Jian sighed: "San Jin told me that having a sense of humor is important when interacting with humans, but why are you all reacting like this?"
Everyone thought to themselves: Humor? Beautiful lady, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word "humor"?
"Alright, I'll stop joking. Now that we're friends, I can tell you why I'm here."
Tao Jian's smile faded, and he spoke seriously.
It seems she has finally let go of that sense of humor.
But at that moment, she seemed to suddenly sense something, slammed her hand on the table and said, "Oh no, that brat."
Then he leaped away.
The five of them quickly followed him out, passing through a sea of flowers, until they reached an open space.
In the center of the open space was a well, from which black smoke faintly rose. When Tao Jian caught up, a boy was climbing out of the well, dusted himself off, turned around and saw Tao Jian, and immediately ran in another direction.
The five of them were no match for the peach demon, and they were in a peach grove. By the time they caught up, they only saw the back of a boy running away.
Tao Jian stomped his foot in anger: "He must have gotten in while the barrier was being attacked, and he still managed to steal it!"
