Xu Xiuyuan didn't speak, he looked at the second senior brother with complicated eyes, and then at Tao Yao, and the 30,000 Kunlun disciples who were still standing in place and did not move.

The second senior brother didn't care whether he said or not, he raised his voice and said to millions of people: "Everyone, the little junior sister is a little unusual in her behavior, but since Kunlun recognizes her as a disciple, he is sure that she is of high character.

Mortals have seen so little that they are often blinded, and they have heard the gossip of some little junior sisters, and they have changed their taste in the gossip of the crowd.

However, we immortal cultivators can't be as short-sighted as mortals, and we don't know the whole picture, so we are in a hurry to draw conclusions. After thinking about today's justification, you already have your own judgment on whether the little junior sister is a human or a demon, good or evil."

The words of the second senior brother made the seventy thousand Kunlun disciples who were mixed in the cultivation of millions of people move slightly, seeing that they were ready to move under their feet, as long as the second senior brother said a few more words, they would return to Kunlun.

The second senior brother has always been sharp-eyed, how can he not see such a formation? He was just about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and he opened his mouth to say a few more words, so that 70,000 disciples would return to Kunlun and be born abruptly.

I saw that the second senior brother's lips opened slightly, and before he could speak, Xu Xiuyuan, who was silent, spoke first: "Senior Brother Guannan, about Tao Yao is a human or not, and only after he finishes speaking, can it be regarded as the real dust settled."

The second senior brother frowned: "He?"

Facing the hesitation of the second senior brother, Xu Xiuyuan slowly grinned, he raised his sleeves lightly, and the soft corners of his clothes made a wonderful arc in this lift.

He appeared in response.

The person who came turned out to be Tao Yao's spiritual pet, the ghost who was chased by people in the past and almost died without a place to be buried, and now the prince of the ghost world who has just been recognized by the ghost lord is not.

The smile on the corner of the second senior brother's mouth that was about to succeed froze, and Kunlun was a person who didn't recognize it or not, and he didn't know who it was, and his face was condensed.

Master Cen frowned, and asked in a hurry, "Little Daoist, what's going on?"

Tao Yao smiled bitterly, unable to answer the master's question.

She didn't know why she suddenly appeared in Kunlun and was a witness on Xu Xiuyuan's side to question his contract owner.

Don't you know that as a spiritual pet, if you dare to betray the Lord, what the price will be?

No, he won't be ignorant.

But if he knows everything clearly, but still chooses to come here to help people repair her to death, then how deep should the hatred for her be buried in his heart?

Master Cen muttered, "Little Daoist, although mortals' judgment of the demons, ghosts, and demons is suspected of being unfair, the formation of this evaluation is by no means a source of water."

"Huh?"

Master Cen sighed lightly: "Little Daoist, you probably have to prepare for the worst."

"Worst?"

Master Cen stretched out his hand, his palm lightly placed on Tao Yao's shoulder, and there was a small but unmistakable power under his palm, he lowered his voice and said, "The former Jimo City Lord has only met you once, and he is very old, even if he speaks more conclusively, Kunlun can doubt the authenticity of his words, and he took the initiative to plead for you at the beginning, so his words are the weakest.

And the two brothers of the Tao family, because they are your blood relatives, they say that you are a demon, and the credibility is much higher than what ordinary people say, but they have no empirical evidence in their hands, and the Tao family was destroyed back then, so they are to blame, others can only say that you are ruthless, but they can't say that you are against the right path, so their words, although they have some power, are not enough to convict you.

But it's not different."

Yes, it is not different, because he is her spiritual pet, and the spiritual pet is almost the closest existence in a cultivator's life, and its closeness is even better than that of parents, Taoist couples, and all relatives and friends.

Master Cen let go of his hand, and the moment his palm left her shoulder, Master smiled faintly, his laughter was like a bell, clear and tranquil: "Little Daoyou, don't be afraid, no matter how many people are left standing beside you after that, I will always be there."

"Master, at this time, you don't have to joke."

Comfort is a good thing, but if it is just empty and powerless comfort, it is better not to listen, because if you listen to it, you will be unable to suppress your hope

And once the comfort is just comfort, then the person who has heard the comfort but found that the comfort is just comfort will collapse faster.

She didn't want anything like drinking to quench her thirst.

"You don't believe me?"

Why did she believe in Master Cen? Was it because he used to be kind to her, or was it because he was obsessed with her cooking, or because he had gone to great lengths to save her life fifty years ago?

It's not the same.

This time, if the master is really as he said, even if she is proven to be a demon, he is still standing beside her, then he will become her burial companion, and with her, he will be cultivated by millions of people, 100,000 Kunlun immortals, and his bones will be scattered.

She thought that the master was not so great, and that he could give his life for her, a little disciple who could wash his hands and make soup for him, but always carried the conditions of insignificance.

Tao Yaowan, looking at Yifei, who had already walked to Xu Xiuyuan's side, said to the master without squinting: "Old goods, under the peach blossom tree in the mountain of hatred, there is a lot of peach blossom wine that I brewed, if I die, you remember to dig it out and drink it."

"Small—"

"Old man, it's not worth your life for a dispensable meal." After that, Tao Yao raised the corners of her lips, "Besides, you are not young, I am afraid that you will not live long, you should still cherish the few years left, you should be waves, you should be happy."

"Small—"

Tao Yao turned her head sharply and met the sad-eyed Master Cen: "Master, if you don't save me, I won't scold you on the Huangquan Road."

「……」

The sky was getting darker and darker.

But the Kunlun Mountain is not dark at all, the cultivators either use the magic instrument as the light, or the rune paper as the lamp, tens of thousands of lights, the Kunlun Mountain under the dark night, illuminated a bright one.

It didn't stop at Xu Xiuyuan's side, separated by dozens of people, and Tao Yao, who was hiding behind the fourth senior brother, looked at each other from a distance. Through the bright lights, Tao Yao saw the deep hatred in his eyes.

She never knew it, and she didn't hate her so much!

It was not a slight increase in his hand, and he hastily saluted the people: "Neither are the ghosts and demons, and I salute you."

Immediately, the world began to whisper.

"Demons? How can it be a ghost?"

"How can such a lowly race be in the world?"

The whispers are like a wave, instantly spreading under Kunlun Mountain.

Tao Yao's eyes still fell on Yifei.

It's not a ghost, but how much he hates that he was born a ghost, she knows it well, yes, she also knows that he is most tired of being called by the word "ghost".

For him, it was contempt and shame.

But today, in front of millions of cultivators and 100,000 Kunlun immortals, he doesn't say that he is the prince of the ghost world, but only that he is a ghost and demon, what is the reason?

Xu Xiuyuan raised his hand and stopped whispering: "Everyone, it is true that he is a ghost, but he is also the prince of the ghost world now, and he is the next ghost master chosen by the ghost master."

Whispers disappear invisibly.

Tao Yao curled the corners of her sarcastic lips and said to the master beside her, "So what is disgusting and despisable is never a ghost, but a ghost that is not noble enough, right?"

The Master bowed his head: "Yes."

"Then why do they have to hate me?"

"Huh?"

"Even if I am a big demon, but I am a disciple of the Immortal Throne in Jingshang, and I am one of the 100,000 immortals in Kunlun, with such an identity, is it not comparable to the prince of the ghost world?"

After a moment of silence, the Master replied, "It's different."

"What's the difference?"

The Master shook his head and did not continue to answer.

Xu Xiuyuan did not return the salute: "Nor Your Highness, please forgive them for their rudeness, because of the demon stained with a demon word, people are somewhat prejudiced against it, and please ask Your Highness to have a lot of Haihan, don't worry about them."

Instead of waving his hand, he said very generously: "Elder Xu doesn't have to be like this, why are ghosts and demons looked down upon by the Three Realms, this hall knows it, and there is no need for Elder Xu to save face for this hall."

"......" is not a dry and cold answer

, made the politeness on Xu Xiuyuan's face a little embarrassed, but Xu Xiuyuan's strength lies in the fact that no matter how the situation turns sharply, he can stabilize his expression, "Your Highness is generous, but Xu is narrow-minded."

"Elder Xu, there is no need to continue the senseless politeness, the main hall is here for one thing." said, it was not once again fixed on Tao Yao, "Kunlun's 100,000 cultivators, who this hall is, people may not know it, but you have all seen this hall, I don't think you need to introduce it to this hall."

Lu Li's brows tightened, and he raised his voice and asked angrily: "Neither are ghosts and demons, as a spirit pet, it is a mission to protect the master, and you openly betray the master, aren't you afraid of being eaten by the contract?"

Nor did he smile lightly, but calmly replied, "If this temple was afraid, it would not have come here."

After speaking, he raised his voice slightly: "Before becoming the prince of the ghost world, this hall came to the world once as a ghost. At that time, the main hall was regarded as a demon by people and chased in all directions.

At that time, the temple was seriously injured, and had to reveal the demon body to flee for his life, and when the life of the temple was hanging by a thread, the temple met Tao Yao, who had just gone down to Kunlun and was about to go to Tao's house.

If you want to chase down and kill the people of this temple, you should remember it."

As soon as Yifei's words fell, Li Shubai of the Li family appeared on the stage, and he greeted the older people in the middle of the year, and only when the courtesy was enough, did he answer: "It's not Your Highness, it was me who led people to hunt you down at that time."

"The temple remembers you."

Li Shubai hurriedly apologized: "It's not Your Highness, please forgive me for being shallow in cultivation at that time, and I couldn't see that you were a ghost and not a demon, so I did a bad job."

It was not that he nodded, and replied: "It's not that your cultivation is shallow, when the main hall turns into a demon vulture, the demon qi on your body is far more than the ghost qi, you will be wrong, it is reasonable."

"Thank you for your highness's magnanimity, in order to exonerate Li, you are willing to say this."

Instead of shaking his head, he said, "This temple is not excusing you, but telling the truth. The Three Realms know that ghosts and demons are anti-heaven existences born from ghosts and demons across borders, but few people know what the characteristics of ghosts and demons are.

In fact, the main hall was seriously injured and turned into a demon body, except for such a profound cultivation existence as Kunlun being in charge, ordinary people should not be able to see that this hall is not a demon, but a ghost."

"Huh?" Li Shubai was surprised, "But at that time, the two immortals of Kunlun, Tao and Lu, saved His Highness, wasn't it because they saw that His Highness was a ghost and not a demon?"
