Shi Dong ran over, carried the evil qi to the palm of his hand, carefully opened the jade box, grabbed the ghost cricket that was dizzy by the small shovel, put it in another prepared jade box, and then closed the lid and put it in the storage belt.

Next, he put away the ghost cricket of the blood sacrifice, and briefly dealt with the injury on his chest, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Duan Mei.

Seeing Duan Mei smile at him and nod slightly, her palms pressed on Zhu Ke'er's chest, and she was going all out to force the poison. She saw all this in front of her, and knew that Shi Dong had found the culprit, and the black demon was saved.

Shi Dong smiled wearily at her, and then also meditated cross-legged to regain his strength.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhu Ke'er lying on the side sleeping soundly, her face becoming ruddy and normal. Duan Mei, on the other hand, had her eyes slightly closed, holding the Soul Refining Pagoda in her hand, and was putting her index finger into it, the black ghost's eyes were shining, and she bit her index finger and sucked it.

Looking at Duan Mei's face again, it had become rosy little by little, and the black aura on her face was rapidly dissipating.

Shi was overjoyed, knowing that the black demon was fine, so it could be driven by Duan Mei to absorb the demonic poison.

So he stood up and used a small shovel to slowly level the pit in the ground, and all traces were removed.

When these were done, he just turned around and wanted to see Duan Mei's situation, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in front of him, and then his neck was cold.

A dagger with a glittering cold light was placed on his neck, and Duan Mei held the dagger in her hand with a calm face, and said, "Shi Dong, how can you, a junior monk of the second layer of the Qi refining period, use the secret technique to catch ghost insects?" Do you want to give me an explanation?"

Shi Dong seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I saved you, do you need any explanation?"

Duan Mei didn't buy it, and still said with a calm face: "I saved you before, and you saved me this time, this is a retribution! Now I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me."

I know that Senior Brother Bai Jin is more interested in you, and I also know that you played tricks on Lei Hao in the Minotaur incident, but Senior Brother Bai didn't treat you well, and now you have shown such a hand, which shows that you do have some secrets on you, which makes Senior Brother Bai worry.

Now, I want to know what this secret is, or I'll kill you!"

Shi Dong smiled slightly, "Haha, this is strange! You were going to entrust your sister to me before......" He glanced at Zhu Ke'er, who was still asleep on the ground, and said with a smile: "This shows that you trust me very much, but why do you want to kill me now?"

"Aren't you smart? Guess what. Duan Mei sneered.

Shi Dong put his hands behind his head, leaned against the tree, and swept his gaze around Duan Mei's face with a smile, seeing that the latter was a little uncomfortable, he glared at Xiu and shouted: "What are you looking at? Quickly answer my question, don't think I dare not kill you!" Pressing the dagger slightly, the blade sank into the flesh on Shi Dong's neck, and as long as he used a little more force, it would be cut.

"Alas......" Shi Dong sighed and said, "Actually, I also know the reason, you thought that you would definitely die, senior sister, and in the sect except for me, you can no longer find a smart and capable person who can still be trusted by you."

But after I saved your life, the situation changed, and the most suitable person to protect Zhu Keer was naturally yourself. And it's too risky to leave me as a smart and capable guy who knows your secrets, and who still has a little bit of a secret secret, so you might as well kill me!

But what about me, you want to know my secrets, for fear of killing me and causing more trouble, am I right?"

Duan Mei's eyes showed a look of admiration, "Yes, you are really smart, so smart that it scares me." So...... Tell me your secret, and maybe I'll spare your life!"

"Do you really want to know this secret?" Shi Dong's eyes lit up, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he looked directly at her and said: "Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Hao are both suspicious of me, and they have teamed up to send Lei Hao to test me, instead of blatantly taking me down, which shows that they are very cautious, for fear of arousing my alarm." In turn, it also shows that they care about this secret very much, and do not hesitate to use the most obscure methods to test little by little.

So, if I tell Senior Sister this secret, will you have the confidence to deal with Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Hao? You are not afraid of setting yourself on fire and ending up harming your sister?"

Speaking of this, Shi Dong glanced at Zhu Keer with his eyes, the little girl was still sleeping soundly, and the baby's fat face was red and fluttering, which was very cute.

Duan Mei's body trembled, her complexion changed, she frowned tightly, and was silent for a long time.

Shi Dong didn't speak, waiting for her to make a decision.

After a while, Duan Mei finally made up her mind, the murderous intent in her eyes gradually faded, the dagger slowly moved away, and she sighed and said, "I really can't kill you, because it will cause more trouble." I'm not going to know your secret either, because I think it's too big and terrible, and if I know it, I'm going to get in trouble, and I can't let any danger hurt my sister!"

Shi Dong nodded and let out a long sigh, "Senior sister, you are also a smart person, this decision is indeed very wise. ”

Duan Mei gritted her silver teeth and glared at him hatefully, "Little bastard, you don't know how lucky you are at all, Master looks at you differently, or ...... The Master also sensed something. Who would dare to kill someone like you?"

Shi Dong touched his nose and laughed, "Haha, it turns out that senior sister, you were just scaring me?"

"Who said I scared you?" Duan Mei glared at him again, stepped back and sat aside, the dim light cast a gloom on her face, and snorted coldly: "I had a moment just now, I really moved the killing machine, I can't let any danger hurt my sister." ”

"What is the relationship between the two of you?" Shi Dong also sat down, keeping a distance from her.

Duan Mei sighed softly, and roughly talked about the relationship between the two, it turned out that Duan Mei was also captured by the Demon Demon Sect in her early years, and she had been cultivating here for nearly twenty years, always thinking about her family.

Later, taking the opportunity to catch disciples at the foot of Lingxiao Sect Mountain, she quietly went to the house to take a look, and found that her father died of illness, and her mother remarried and gave birth to Zhu Keer, a half-mother.

When Duan Mei went to find it, her mother was seriously ill and bedridden, for fear that after she died, she would leave her youngest daughter angry in the big family surnamed Zhu, so she simply entrusted it to her eldest daughter and asked her to take Zhu Ke'er to cultivate immortals.

After Duan Mei thought about it, she cultivated in the Demon Demon Gate alone, and she only went home once in twenty years, but she didn't know when she would come back next time, and when she arrived, she would not even have any relatives. So as soon as he gritted his teeth, he agreed to his mother's entrustment and came back with Zhu Ke'er, if they could cultivate together, it would be considered a psychological comfort.

She values Zhu Ke'er's safety so much now because Zhu Ke'er represents her only thought in the mortal world, letting her know that she still has relatives alive.

Otherwise, after a hundred years of cultivation, all of her relatives are gone, even if she can live forever, she is just living alone in this world, what is the meaning? Moreover, Bai Jin is drifting away from her, and the survival of the Demon Gate is under great pressure, and all kinds of reasons that even she doesn't know very well have caused her to value Zhu Ke'er very much.

This...... It's a state of mind that the Demon Gate Monk can't explain!
