Bai Lisha nodded: "Indeed, and I have a pretty good relationship with the Baili family. Why? Why is Xiao Jiu suddenly asking about this?"
"Do you know someone named Baili He?"
“Bai Lihe?” Bai Lisha thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head: “I’ve never heard of such a person in the Bai Li family.”
"Xiao Jiu, why are you looking for this Baili He?"
"No, it's nothing."
Ji Jiuying pursed her lips. Could it be that her cheap father really is a god?
Meanwhile, in a private room on the flying boat, Si Yu kept replaying what Gong Mingyue had said in her mind, her fingers rhythmically tapping the table.
"I'm afraid we'll have to go back and ask my master about this. If it's really as you guessed, then you're in for a bit of trouble."
Gong Mingyue raised an eyebrow. Seeing his nonchalant expression, Si Yu said gloatingly, "His goal is the little beauty, aren't you worried at all?"
Gong Mingyue lay on the soft couch, his eyes tightly closed, making it impossible to discern his expression.
——
A quarter of an hour later, the flying boat finally passed through the clouds and docked at the shore. Murong Zheng was about to leave.
Ji Jiuying leaped ashore and stood before him, saying, "Murong Zheng, thank you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have found my mother so quickly."
"Here you go. If you need help in the future, you can take this token to the Floating Life Mirror. It might be able to solve your urgent problem."
As they spoke, Ji Jiuying produced a token and placed it in Murong Zheng's hand.
Looking at the token in his hand, Murong Zheng's brown eyes flickered slightly: "Actually, I'll be here soon..."
Suddenly, sensing something amiss within the Linglong Tower, Ji Jiuying's expression changed drastically.
"I have other things to do. See you later!"
After saying that, he flew onto the flying boat without looking back: "Second Uncle, let's go back to the Heavenly Realm quickly!"
Watching the departing flying boat, Murong Zheng murmured to himself, "Actually, I'll be able to go to the Heavenly Realm to find you soon..."
Yingyue also sensed something and suddenly appeared behind Ji Jiuying: "Mistress, has Qingling woken up?"
Ji Jiuying nodded, and a palm-sized tower appeared in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, a screen made of spiritual energy appeared in front of everyone.
Qingling roared in pain, her head thrown back. The black mist that had been absorbed by the golden light reappeared, enveloping her and growing larger. The golden light and the black mist intertwined and repelled each other.
Qingling endured the piercing and excruciating pain, finally collapsing to the ground, groaning and howling incessantly.
At that moment, a completely black zither appeared before her, and the bloody hand trembled slightly as it gently stroked the strings, while the black mist enveloping her grew even thicker.
Seeing her face contorted in pain and covered in wounds, Ji Jiuying felt a sharp pain in her heart. As the black mist grew thicker, Ji Jiuying's soul trembled, and her face paled. Just as Ye Qingchen was about to step forward, Gong Mingyue stepped forward quickly to support her. His deep eyes, filled with murderous intent, looked at Ye Qingchen, who met those dark pupils without fear.
In an instant, an invisible battle unfolded again in the air, as if countless electric currents were colliding.
"Jiu'er?"
"This can't go on. When the demonic energy inside surpasses the Buddha's light, the little beauty will definitely suffer a backlash," Si Yu said solemnly, frowning.
These words were overheard by Feng Lan, who had just come out of the side room. Her heart tightened, and when she saw Ji Jiuying's pale face, she rushed forward in a panic: "Jiu'er, what's wrong? What happened? And who is that?"
Ji Jiuying gave Feng Che a wink, and Feng Che understood. He pulled Feng Lan aside and explained, "Lan'er, come here first, I'll explain to you later."
Ji Jiuying looked at Si Yu and asked, "What if the Buddha's light is stronger than the demonic energy?"
Si Yu remained silent for a long time: "I can only say that life and death are unpredictable. If you survive, you will live; if you don't, you will be reduced to ashes."
Yingyue frowned, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Ji Jiuying fell silent. Qingling was now completely corrupted by demonic energy. For demons, the Buddha's light was their natural enemy, their nemesis. How could she possibly withstand it? If she were released and returned to the demon realm, the war between humans and demons would surely erupt again...
Survive the Linglong Tower, but hope is fading, and death is inevitable!
If we release her, the war between humans and demons will surely come as scheduled, and even more people will die.
She simply couldn't bring herself to kill her, nor could she bear to watch her die!
What should she do? Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes.
"Si Yu, is there any other way?"
"Yes, there are, but... it depends on whether others are willing."
Si Yu gave Ye Qingchen a meaningful look. Ji Jiuying also noticed Si Yu's gaze and wondered if Qingchen had a way.
"Qingchen, do you have a solution?"
Ye Qingchen lowered his eyes and chuckled softly: "Little Jiu, although I cannot help her cleanse herself of the demonic energy, I can help you restore her sanity."
Ji Jiuying was overjoyed to hear this, but Gong Mingyue behind her turned pale.
"Jiu'er, I can do it too."
"You can't do it!" Si Yu quickly stepped forward to stop him. Gong Mingyue looked at Si Yu with a cold gaze, and Si Yu immediately shivered: "You, really can't do it!"
"I will go!"
"·····"
Si Yu looked at Ji Jiuying with pleading eyes. Although Ji Jiuying did not understand why Si Yu did this, she knew that he must have his reasons. Stopping A Yue in this way was probably risky for A Yue.
"Ah Yue, Si Yu said you can't do it, so don't force yourself."
Suddenly, the surrounding air plummeted to freezing point, and Gong Mingyue's face turned as black as charcoal. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "I can't? Huh?"
Oh no, the evil spirit is angry! Everyone quickly moved a few steps away.
Ji Jiuying swallowed hard. The most urgent thing was to rescue Qingling. She would coax him later. With a wave of her hand, Gong Mingyue disappeared from everyone's sight. The oppressive feeling in the air disappeared instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, a man in the space had an even darker face and was filled with rage. Even Hei Xiangling and Qi Yun, who were in seclusion cultivating, couldn't help but shiver. Their evil fire even hid in the Heavenly Punishment Manual, fearing that it would be implicated.
"Ah Yue, don't be angry. Si Yu must have his reasons for doing this."
Good, very good!
Gong Mingyue's face was gloomy, but his calm tone made Ji Jiuying feel uneasy, so she simply blocked the space as well.
Gong Mingyue: ? ? ?
Good, good, very good!
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Ji Jiuying! Feng Lan held Xiao Huang'er's hand: "Jiu'er, is he really alright?"
"Mom, it's alright. That's just how he is. He'll calm down later."
Although she said that, Feng Lan was still somewhat worried. After all, that was a fearsome figure that everyone dreaded; what if he were angered...?
Little Phoenix pulled Feng Lan aside and whispered, "Grandma, don't worry, he'll feel better after Mommy kisses him tonight."
Feng Lan blushed instantly. This...
