Chapter 428: Cooperation?

“Miss Bai, how did Miss Bai enter the Ten Thousand Demon Sect?”

“…”

“Your Highness… actually it was me—”

“After she entered the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Sister Nongqin hid her identity. I know that, but we’ll talk about that later.

What I’m asking now is, for what reason did Miss Bai come to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect?”

“Oh my, Her Highness Su Ying certainly has a grand air of authority.”

“She Qiqi, stop with the sarcasm. I am handling internal matters; it has nothing to do with you.”

“Her Highness Su Ying really knows how to burn bridges after crossing them.” She Qiqi’s beautiful eyes curved slightly. “It wasn’t long ago that I saved Her Highness, you know.”

“Saved?” Su Ying glanced sideways at She Qiqi. “Wasn’t it a transaction?”

“Then isn’t it also a fact that I saved you?”

“Oh? Is everyone in the Demon Race World really this shameless?”

Su Ying looked at She Qiqi with great interest.

“If you insist on putting it that way, weren’t you ultimately saved by Senior Brother? How does that count?”

“That was because I braved danger for you, and it was your Senior Brother who saved me.”

“What’s Senior Brother’s is mine, and what’s mine is Senior Brother’s. In other words, wasn’t it me who saved you?”

“Ah, then that’s truly unfortunate.”

She Qiqi covered her face and chuckled softly.

“Your Senior Brother is mine too, you know.”

In this room that hadn’t been used for a long time but was still incredibly tidy, a young man lay.

Standing at the head of the man’s bed were four young women.

The man was naturally Lin Xun.

In fact, when Lin Xun fell from the sky, every one of them had been extremely nervous!

Fearing that something might happen to Lin Xun, they had no time to worry about each other.

But once they confirmed Lin Xun was fine and merely exhausted, they all relaxed and began to “strike at the enemy and declare sovereignty.”

The initial fire was first directed at Bai Luoxue.

But Bai Luoxue said nothing, only sitting at the head of Lin Xun’s bed, her small hand constantly holding Lin Xun’s large hand.

This made Su Ying feel even more uncomfortable as she watched!

This was the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, her own territory.

Yet you are holding my man’s hand on my territory!

But Su Ying couldn’t easily slap her hand away.

The other party was clearly concerned about her Senior Brother.

She certainly couldn’t do anything to Bai Luoxue.

Su Ying worried that Senior Brother would blame her when he woke up.

If she were to kick them all out, it would make her look extremely petty.

Then She Qiqi beside her would seize the opportunity to slander her ruthlessly.

And so…

Bai Luoxue held Lin Xun’s large hand at the head of the bed, while Jiang Nongqin stood at the foot, watching Lin Xun worriedly, her gaze not deviating an inch.

This formed the scene where She Qiqi and Su Ying were engaged in a war of words.

Gradually, as his consciousness returned, Lin Xun faintly heard the voices of Su Ying and She Qiqi.

Then Lin Xun felt his palm being wrapped in something soft.

Lin Xun’s brow furrowed tightly, and then he opened his eyes groggily.

The first thing he saw was that pair of extremely charming cat-tailed peach blossom eyes.

And this pair of cat-tailed peach blossom eyes was also blinking as they looked at him.

There seemed to be a hint of surprise and joy in those eyes?

“Your… Your Highness…”

Seeing Lin Xun open his eyes, Nong Qin cried out in surprise.

Nong Qin’s voice caused She Qiqi and Su Ying, who were in the middle of their confrontation, to immediately call a truce.

Sitting beside Lin Xun, Su Ying’s small hand gently caressed Lin Xun’s cheek, her eyes veiled with a layer of crystalline mist, her cherry-like small mouth trembling slightly.

“Senior Brother… does Senior Brother feel any discomfort?”

Finally, Su Ying did her best to calm her emotions and spoke slowly.

Even so, her tone still held a slight tremor.

Taking in this scene of Su Ying, She Qiqi tilted her head slightly.

In She Qiqi’s view, when Lin Xun woke up, she should have pounced on him!

Yet She Qiqi could feel that Su Ying was desperately suppressing her emotions.

What was going on?

Was this Su Ying shy, or was this just how she behaved with her Senior Brother, desperately suppressing the feelings in her heart?

“No, my internal spiritual energy is just a bit low, everything else is fine.”

Lin Xun wanted to pat Su Ying’s head.

But he found his right hand was being held by Bai Luoxue, so Lin Xun switched hands.

But how did Bai Luoxue get here?

“Where is the Old Man?”

Lin Xun was somewhat worried about the Old Man’s state.

Although Daoist Ming Lu had been possessed at the time, Lin Xun had sensed the fluctuations of another Divine Soul within Daoist Ming Lu’s body.

In other words, Daoist Ming Lu was possessed while he was still alive.

Lin Xun guessed that the Blood Demon must have taken the opportunity to enter while his Master was weak.

The Divine Soul of the Ascension Realm was extremely resilient.

Even if that Blood Demon temporarily gained control of his Master’s body, it would take anywhere from a year to several decades to wear it away.

But clearly, that Blood Demon hadn’t done that; as soon as he seized control of the body, he came out.

He was in a great hurry.

Though Lin Xun didn’t know exactly what he was in such a hurry for.

However, at least his Master had kept his life.

Lin Xun just didn’t know how severely his Master’s Divine Soul had been worn down.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry,” Su Ying said with a smile. “Master is fine, everything is stable, but we still have Master trapped within a Magic Formation, just in case whatever that thing was is still inside Master’s body.”

“Mm, that’s good then. I’ll go see him in a bit.”

Hearing that the Old Man was fine, Lin Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

“But, what’s going on here?”

Lin Xun pulled his hand away from Bai Luoxue’s palm and looked at those surrounding him.

It was normal for Su Ying and Nong Qin to be in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

The question was how She Qiqi had come.

And especially Bai Luoxue.

Shouldn’t she be at the Huanxi Sect?

Why would she come to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect?

“The reason I came here was at your Junior Sister’s request.”

Because of the Concentric Knot, She Qiqi sensed the confusion in Lin Xun’s heart and spoke with a smile.

“I know.”

Lin Xun had naturally heard the conversation on the small plain at the time.

“But, what did Junior Sister trade with you?”

“That concerns a cooperation between the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and me.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s inquiry, She Qiqi didn’t hide anything at all.

Because there was no need to hide it.

Besides, Su Ying would tell Lin Xun anyway.

“Cooperation?”

Lin Xun looked at Su Ying.

Su Ying quietly avoided her Senior Brother’s gaze.

“That’s right.”

She Qiqi glanced at Su Ying and continued.

“Your Junior Sister was never interested in the position of Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Her wanting to succeed as Sect Master this time is because she doesn’t want to wait any longer and intends to wipe out all those rebels in one fell swoop.

A long time ago, your Junior Sister found me and asked if I wanted to make a deal.”

Lin Xun’s brow furrowed as he looked at Su Ying. “You agreed to join forces with the Demon Race World?”
