…
As soon as he stepped out of the villa gate, Su Yao saw a Maybach parked steadily in front of the door.
As the car door opened, Su Murong got out in a suit and tie, his expression as indifferent as usual.
Su Yao looked at him and said in a mocking tone: "Director Su, you finally took action against Dugu Jiu."
He raised his eyebrows and waved his fingers, and a barrier fell, blocking out all spiritual consciousness and sound.
He turned to look at her with a smile on his face: "I know you will doubt me, but I still want to say... I also want to find Dugu Jiu."
Su Yao's eyes were cold, and his tone was even colder: "You killed Fu Jingchen by borrowing a knife, but you didn't get Dugu Jiu's demon pill. Are you disappointed?"
Su Murong was silent for a few seconds and finally did not make any excuses.
Purple eyes stared at him: "I will help Dugu Jiu find his true body."
His expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice: "Su Yao, can you please not get involved in the feud between Dugu Jiu and me?"
"Why, are you scared?" Su Yao asked in a sarcastic tone.
He sighed softly, his expression unusually gentle. "I don't want to be your enemy. Tiantian...wouldn't want any conflict between us either."
The purple eyes moved slightly, and a cold look flashed across them: "Su Murong, even though we have a son, you and I are not friends. No one can stop me from helping the person I want to help."
Su Murong's tone darkened: "Is it worth destroying the only remaining trust between you and me for a man who has nothing to do with you?"
Su Yao looked back at him, her eyes as white as snow: "Dugu Jiu fell into your hands because of me, how can I remain indifferent?"
"Enough!" Su Murong suddenly shouted, a trace of emotional collapse flashing in his eyes: "Don't believe his one-sided words!"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "I don't deny what I did to you in the past. But do you really think I imprisoned him just for personal vendetta?"
"The reason I imprisoned Dugu Jiu back then was because he already had a demon seed within his soul! With his level of cultivation back then, if he had become a slave to the demon in his soul, not even I would have been his match."
"At that time, I had no choice but to seal him, for the sake of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and to protect you."
Su Yao's expression remained unchanged, but the slight emotion surging in his eyes... eventually sank to the bottom of the lake.
Her voice was soft, but cold enough: "Have you ever considered that your 'protection' is just imprisoning him as a tool?"
"Have you ever thought about really saving him?"
"Have you ever felt a trace of guilt towards him in your heart?"
Su Murong's eyes were turbulent and he was silent for a moment.
She had turned and left, leaving him alone standing in the night wind. He was silent for a long time and ultimately did not chase after her.
…
When Su Yao returned to the Ziwei Pavilion in the Su residence, a white cat jumped onto the windowsill. Its purple eyes looked into the light blue cat's eyes, sensing the powerful demon pill hidden in its body. It smiled lightly and said, "Dugu Jiu, possessing a cat is really unfair to you."
