Sui Jin's performance reassured Wu Yong, and the group found a secluded courtyard to temporarily settle down.
Night fell.
Sui Jin was cultivating cross-legged.
Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.
Sui Jin raised an eyebrow: "Come in."
The door opened.
Ye Zhaozhao walked in.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, visiting late at night, do you still have any doubts about our plan?" Sui Jin asked with a smile.
Ye Zhaozhao shook her head and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Sui has already made it very clear. I came this time because of the Demon-Attracting Bell."
Ye Zhaozhao said, carefully taking out a small bell: "Fellow Daoist Sui, this bell of mine can sense demonic energy. Today in Chengping Town, besides Wu Yong, the bell moved three more times. There are three other Qi Condensation cultivators in Chengping Town who have also entered the demonic path."
Ye Zhaozhao directly named the three individuals.
Here, she used no tricks.
These people had indeed cultivated demonic arts, and their identities were personally verified by the system, making them absolutely real.
She was just an outsider, and to gain Sui Jin's trust, she always had to put in some effort.
This list of demonic cultivators was her introductory gift.
"I didn't expect these three to have also cultivated demonic cultivation methods." Sui Jin looked at Ye Zhaozhao: "Fellow Daoist Fang, with such ability, why didn't you speak up directly when we were discussing the plan earlier?"
Ye Zhaozhao immediately showed a bitter smile.
"It's not that I didn't want to speak. It's just that those fellow Daoists seem to have some prejudice against me. I... I don't know what happened, but as soon as we met, Fellow Daoist Li kept targeting me, and then the other fellow Daoists also became very wary of me. I can understand their caution, but I can't help but feel a little wronged, after all, I also came with the sole intention of slaying demons and eradicating evil, but now... I'm being suspected for no reason."
Ye Zhaozhao's eyes were slightly red.
Sui Jin's gaze was subtle: "Perhaps Fellow Daoist Fang misunderstood something."
Ye Zhaozhao put on a brave face: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not doesn't matter. It's fine. I believe that given enough time, Fellow Daoist Li will understand me. But I'm worried that if I directly name the demonic cultivators, they might not believe me, so I secretly came to inform you."
Ye Zhaozhao looked at Sui Jin with trust: "Fellow Daoist has been undercover in the demonic path for many days, not only caring for the common people but also possessing courage and wisdom. I believe Fellow Daoist will have a way to verify the truth."
Ye Zhaozhao even deliberately shook her colorful hair, so Sui Jin could see it more clearly.
Didn't he like this hair color? She was trying to please him.
Sui Jin was a disciple of the Sui family. Although his spiritual root aptitude wasn't great, he was rich.
If she could win him over, she probably wouldn't lack spirit stones in the future.
Of course.
With his aptitude, he was far from qualified to be her Dao companion.
Various thoughts swirled in Ye Zhaozhao's mind, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
Sui Jin remained impassive and said, "I will find a way to investigate these people."
Ye Zhaozhao nodded and said with a wronged expression, "Fellow Daoist Li has a deep misunderstanding of me. Please don't say that I was the one who found these demonic cultivators. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Li might think I have some ulterior motive."
Ye Zhaozhao felt a slight sense of triumph.
First, she presented the list, earning great merit.
Then, she acted as if she didn't want to take credit.
Sui Jin should be an upright person. The more she refused to take credit, the more he would help her claim it.
Perhaps he already harbored dissatisfaction towards Li Shuang.
Ye Zhaozhao was thinking this.
But Sui Jin directly nodded: "Alright. Then I'll say I discovered it myself."
Ye Zhaozhao was stunned.
She froze in place.
What did this mean?!
The script wasn't written this way!
Shouldn't Sui Jin directly reject her request and then strongly explain her contributions to the others?
He... he just directly took the credit?!
Ye Zhaozhao looked at Sui Jin in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, for the great cause of demon eradication, you seek no credit and no fame. You are truly a model for our generation. Don't worry, I will absolutely not tell anyone that you had a hand in this." Sui Jin said with a moved expression.
Ye Zhaozhao had a hard time speaking. She was dazed as Sui Jin praised her for a long time, and then Sui Jin escorted her to the door.
Looking at the closed door.
Ye Zhaozhao was going crazy!
"System, didn't you say that this 'retreat to advance' tactic would definitely make Sui Jin feel pity for me? Where is the pity?" Ye Zhaozhao roared.
The system was silent for a moment and said, "Perhaps Sui Jin wants to give you credit after investigating the truth? Or perhaps, he is inherently a greedy and arrogant person, and when you offered him the credit, he eagerly took it."
Ye Zhaozhao gritted her teeth: "What do we do now!"
The system pondered for a moment and said, "This Sui Jin is a smiling tiger; he might not be as easy to conquer as we thought. How about trying Liu Juncheng? We know more about Liu Juncheng; he should be a genuinely upright gentleman."
Ye Zhaozhao took a deep breath and said coldly, "I'll trust you one more time."
Ye Zhaozhao left in a huff.
Sui Jin looked at her retreating figure from the window, a peculiar expression in his eyes.
He took out a spiritual talisman and lit it.
The next moment.
In Li Shuang's room, a talisman appeared in the air.
"Junior Sister. That Fang Qingyu has a problem. Her target seems to be you. You should be vigilant."
It was Sui Jin's voice.
Li Shuang's eyes flickered.
This Ye Zhaozhao, she went to see Senior Brother Three?
She wondered what she did, to be seen through so easily.
Li Shuang's mood was somewhat complicated at this moment.
Turns out.
Was this Ye Zhaozhao so easy to see through?
Why.
Back then, no one on Lingxu Peak was able to see through her.
Li Shuang responded to Sui Jin, then continued her cultivation.
After a while.
Another voice sounded.
"Junior Sister, that Fang Qingyu just came to me on the pretext of purifying medicinal power. After I politely declined, her eyes were filled with tears, and her words seemed to point to you. This woman is indeed coming for you. You should be vigilant."
Liu Juncheng also sent a reminder message.
Li Shuang blinked.
She no longer rushed to cultivate and simply waited.
Sure enough.
After a while.
Luo Mingyue also angrily sent a talisman, saying that as soon as Fang Qingyu arrived, she cried and begged her to help mediate, saying that she was willing to pay any price if she could resolve the misunderstanding with Li Shuang.
After another while.
Even Jiang Yi, who spoke the least, sent a talisman.
She only left five words.
"Beware of Fang Qingyu"
Li Shuang almost laughed.
This one night.
Ye Zhaozhao actually sought out all four of her senior brothers and sisters?
Wasn't she a little too busy!
If she were still on Lingxu Peak, even if she had dealt with Ye Zhaozhao once, when she returned from the dead, she would probably be framed again, and she would have to live in constant fear.
But now.
Her heart was incredibly calm.
This was not because of her cultivation method.
It was even more so because...
Those who gave her 100% trust.
Li Shuang felt something, and instantly entered the jade slip.
