Master Xu Kong was very thin and looked to be in his thirties. He was dragged into the air by Eunuch De.
When he came in, he was panting, and his beard was sticking up into the sky.
"That's her, that's her. Master, quickly take her in," Eunuch De pointed at Shi Sheng, who was still standing in his original position, and screamed in a shrill voice. "She's a demon."
Xu Kong panted, then looked at Shi Sheng in the center of the field. His eyes narrowed.
Wasn't this Imperial Consort Yun?
When he arrived, Eunuch De kept saying there was a demon. He didn't even have time to ask what was going on.
Now that he saw Shi Sheng, Xu Kong was dumbfounded.
"Master, take a look and see if she's a demon," Yuwen Xun said.
"… Yes." Xu Kong stroked his beard, his gaze sweeping over Shi Sheng.
Everyone around seemed to sigh in relief.
Clearly, Xu Kong held a very high position in their hearts.
With him around, they didn't seem to need to fear demons.
Xu Kong calmly took down the box slung over his shoulder and opened it.
There were all kinds of props inside, such as talismans, cinnabar, and a pocket-sized wooden sword.
But when Xu Kong took out the sword, it immediately lengthened.
Gasps came from all around.
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. That wooden sword was obviously specially made, the kind that could shrink.
Shi Sheng looked coldly at Xu Kong, who was busy there.
Someone placed an altar in front of him. There was nothing else on the altar except a piece of yellow paper.
"Sir, please stand a little further away," Xu Kong said to Ming Jin after setting up the items.
"Maybe I'm a demon too?" Ming Jin replied with a smile.
"…" Xu Kong's face darkened. He looked at Yuwen Xun.
Yuwen Xun nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him.
Only then did Xu Kong close his eyes and mutter to Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng looked askance at Ming Jin. What was this man trying to do?
Ming Jin smiled at Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng rubbed the stone in his hand with his fingertips, then gave him a sinister smile.
The entire hall was silent. Everyone's attention was on Xu Kong.
Following Xu Kong's voice, the yellow paper on the table began to change.
Red words appeared.
The words looked like they were written by a dog. Shi Sheng did not recognize them.
However, Void's expression changed drastically. "Your Majesty, there is indeed Demonic Qi."
"Ah!"
"It really is a monster."
"We've been living with monsters for so long. It's so scary."
"Master, why aren't you taking her in?" Eunuch De urged the void.
Void nodded and took out an empty bowl from the box. First, he cut his wrist to let out some blood. Then, he put some strange things in it.
Shi Sheng: "…"
If there really is a demon here, with your formation, who knows how many times you would have died.
"Evildoer, die!" Xu Kong roared loudly as he pointed his wooden sword at Shi Sheng.
He splashed the bowl of blood at Shi Sheng. Ming Jin's body moved slightly, but in the next second, he paused.
The viscous blood was blocked in midair, as if it was splashed on glass, slowly flowing down from the void.
The void was not here before, so it was obvious that it did not know that there was a transparent barrier there.
This time, Xu Kong was dumbfounded.
"I didn't look for you. How dare you come in front of me and pretend to be a ghost?" Shi Sheng imitated the void and roared back.
Xu Kong's eyes turned, and he felt a little weak. Did he really meet a fellow disciple with real abilities?
He couldn't even get close to her. Was this the legendary enchantment?
Xu Kong's heart began to pound. His eyes darted around, and his legs trembled.
"What's going on? Master, quickly take this monster in? "Eunuch De urged Xu Kong.
Xu Kong braced himself and continued. However, no matter what he did, Shi Sheng stood firmly in front of him.
Xu Kong was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat.
What should he do?
He didn't know how to take in a monster. He hadn't even seen one before.
Usually, it was just a trick to scare people. However, he had never done anything heinous.
"Kneel down!" Shi Sheng scolded.
Xu Kong felt guilty. He was suddenly yelled at, and his body was out of control. He knelt down with a plop.
"Tell me, which sect are you from? How dare you come here to swindle people. Scum like you, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens today."
Shi Sheng felt a chill in his heart. This line was really too immoral.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why did Master Xu Kong kneel down?
Why did Yun Jie Yu call herself a great immortal again?
Xu Kong didn't have any real ability. What happened just now had caused him a lot of psychological trauma and deterrence. He naturally thought that he had met a powerful person from the same sect.
He didn't dare to talk nonsense and immediately reported his sect.
Shi Sheng hooked his finger at him.
Xu Kong was about to jump out of his throat, but he still carefully moved to Shi Sheng's side.
Everyone watched as Shi Sheng pulled out a piece of paper and a pen as if she was performing a magic trick.
She wrote a few words and handed them to Xu Kong.
Xu Kong glanced at them, full of shock and surprise.
Shi Sheng raised the sword in his hand, and Xu Kong immediately cowered.
His eyes quickly turned, and then he directly kowtowed. "I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Everyone: "…"
Senior?
Didn't he just say that she was a monster?
"Am I still a monster?" Shi Sheng asked with a smile.
"No, no, it's my lack of skills that made me see wrongly." Xu Kong hurriedly shook his head.
Xu Kong bowed to Yuwen Xun again. "Your Majesty, I saw wrongly just now. This senior is a very powerful master."
Yuwen Xun: "…" Did he think he was a monkey?
Zhuang Qiong was a rich young lady who had never even been to a sect. How could she be a very powerful master?
Could he lie through his teeth and be more careful?
Xu Kong had already automatically covered up the lie for Shi Sheng, saying that she had a special talent and learned it without a teacher. Their sect knew her name and so on.
This was obviously nonsense, but Void said it in a serious manner, and even swore as if there was really such a thing.
Ming Jin suppressed his laughter. Those people didn't see Shi Sheng's note to Xu Kong.
He had seen it.
— Say that I'm a master, or I'll kill you.
There were two more words at the end.
— Give me money.
This Zhuang Qiong was indeed interesting.
Yuwen Xun would rather believe that Shi Sheng was a monster than that she was some kind of master.
He pondered for a moment. "Since Master Xu Kong says that she's very powerful, then let her prove it."
Xu Kong looked at Shi Sheng. I can only help you up to this point.
Shi Sheng searched his mind for major events that had happened in the plot. "In ten days, there will be a heavy rain in Jinbei. There will be a flood and a plague will run rampant."
Man-Made events could be changed, but natural events would never change.
Yuwen Xun's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Floods and plagues were national events that affected the people's lives.
"Didn't you ask me to prove it? Whether it's true or not, we'll know in ten days. "
"Master Xu Kong, can you divine it?" Yuwen Xun looked at Xu Kong.
Xu Kong: "…" He was a liar, how would he know?!
"This … This commoner isn't as skilled as Senior, so I can't divine it." This kind of thing couldn't be said carelessly. This Imperial Consort Yun didn't want her life, but he still wanted it.
"Your Majesty, why don't you give Yun Jie Yu ten days?" Ming Jin said.
Yuwen Xun seemed to be considering something. After a while, he actually nodded under everyone's strange gazes. "Alright, I'll give you ten days. If nothing happens in ten days, you'll be beheaded for deceiving the emperor. Yun Jie Yu, do you have any objections?"
"No." Shi Sheng paused. "Then here's the question … What if I'm right?"
