A demon was a demon.
Even if she possessed a human, she was still a demon.
Liu Pipa's cultivation was slightly lower than Nine-tailed Fox and Pheasant Spirit.
Therefore, after Siyang slowly pulled out her peach wood sword,
The hairs all over her body stood on end.
The righteous aura that was emitted from the sword was specially used to restrain the demon's aura.
It made her feel like her body was about to break apart.
Liu Pipa's heart turned cold.
She took a few steps back and hid behind Li Jing.
"Pipa, what's wrong?" Seeing her lose her composure, Li Jing did not understand.
When he heard Siyang say that there was a demon in the manor,
He wanted to hear what she had to say.
"You,
Stop … "Liu Pipa did not answer Li Jing.
She hid behind him. Afraid that her actions would be discovered, she tried her best to calm herself down and cautiously revealed half of her face.
She scolded Siyang sternly.
Siyang stopped drawing her sword, but the peach wood sword was already one-third out.
The runes on it flickered faintly.
It did not look like an ordinary item.
Jinzha's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.
Originally, he still had some doubts about Siyang's background and identity.
However, seeing this,
His heart actually wavered and he was convinced.
"What's wrong? Madam? " Siyang blinked in confusion and smiled. "Madam, aren't you afraid that I'm a swindler? Why don't you use your strength to prove it?"
"You, you …" Liu Pipa tried her best to swallow her saliva. She bit her lip and tried her best not to expose herself in front of Siyang. She now suspected that this person had already seen through her true identity.
"How dare you. If you say there's a demon, then there's a demon. I think you're just trying to mislead people. When the time comes, you can casually use a small spell and say that you're catching a demon." Liu Pipa no longer wanted to know who Siyang was. She only wanted her to disappear from her sight. Thus, she immediately tugged at Li Jing's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Brother Jing, hurry up and chase him away. I feel uncomfortable when I see this person."
"Since Young Master Su said that there is a demon, why not let him take a look?" Muzha muttered.
"Shut up. Do you have the right to speak?" At this time, Liu Pipa hated Muzha for coming out to cause trouble.
Muzha lowered his head and did not speak. Jinzha quickly pulled him to the side. He did not dare to face Liu Pipa and the others.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Siyang took a step forward. "I just wanted to prove it. Seeing Madam's resistance, could it be …"
"Don't come over." Liu Pipa exclaimed and retreated far away. She realized that she seemed to have caused too much of a commotion. When she looked up and saw Li Jing, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha looking at her in confusion, her expression changed.
However, Liu Pipa felt uncomfortable all over. She just wanted to get as far away from Siyang as possible. Peach wood was the essence of the Five Wood Elements. It was specially used to restrain demons like them. Moreover, she felt that the sword was more than that.
"Brother Jing, you are one of the Heavenly Kings. Your spells are powerful and you have the Exquisite Pagoda. What demon are you afraid of? This person is definitely not a righteous person. I don't want to see him. Let him go." Liu Pipa pleaded with Li Jing again.
"That's true." Li Jing did not believe that there was any demon in the residence.
"No, Young Master Su was invited by us. How can he leave just like that?" Muzha stood up again.
"You even dare to disobey my words … Ah!"
"Pipa." Li Jing quickly hugged Liu Pipa, who was clutching her chest and bending over in pain.
"Brother Jing …" Liu Pipa's face was pale as she called out weakly.
"You, what happened to you?" Li Jing's face was full of panic.
"Madam, you don't look good. Why don't you let me take a look?" Siyang came forward.
Muzha was scared out of his wits. He thought that Liu Pipa was angry because of him. When he heard this, he said in surprise, "Young Master Su knows how to treat illnesses."
"I know a thing or two." Siyang smiled modestly.
"Go away …" Liu Pipa did not dare to let Siyang get close to her. She had not retracted her sword. She was worried that if she got closer, she would reveal her true form.
"Pipa, where are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Pipa wanted to say that seeing Siyang was the greatest discomfort. However, when she raised her head and met Siyang's gaze, the shadow of a smile and the faint threat in her eyes made her feel as though she had been stripped naked and was being scrutinized.
"Perhaps Madam needs more rest." Siyang stood behind and said casually.
"Is, is that so?" Li Jing felt that something was not right.
Liu Pipa lowered her eyelids slightly. Her eyes flickered and the corners of her mouth twitched. In the end, she forced a stiff smile and said softly, "Yes, I am too tired. I want to rest. Brother Jing, come with me."
Li Jing could not figure it out. However, since Liu Pipa said so, he could only nod. "Alright, I will help you back to your room."
"Then, Second Mother, Young Master Su, he …" Muzha saw that his father was about to leave with Liu Pipa and did not forget to remind him.
"This …" Li Jing was about to speak when he was interrupted by Liu Pipa.
"Since you brought him back, do as you see fit." After saying that, she tugged at Li Jing's clothes and urged him to leave quickly.
Watching the two leave, Jinzha and Muzha heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Second Mother did not hold on to him. Otherwise, I don't know how to end this." Jinzha wiped the sweat on his head.
Muzha nodded at the side and patted his chest. He still had a lingering fear. It seemed that under Liu Pipa's tyrannical power, the two brothers were really aggrieved.
"Young Master Su?" The two brothers spoke for a while, but the person beside them did not move.
Siyang had already put away the peach wood sword and turned to face Jinzha and Muzha. "Sorry for disturbing you tonight."
"Don't say that. We were sorry just now. We let Young Master Su be … Eh, is there really a demon in our family?" Muzha was still thinking about what happened earlier.
"Well." Siyang touched the mustache on her lips twice. She nodded and then shook her head.
What did this mean? Jinzha and Muzha could not understand.
"There is a demon, but I think some people don't want to get rid of her."
Hmm?
Jinzha and Muzha looked at each other. They both thought of Liu Pipa's strange behavior just now. Could it be …
Siyang followed Jinzha and Muzha to the backyard and chose a guest room as the place to rest tonight. After thanking the two brothers again and again and sending them off, she turned around and walked directly to the window. She pushed open the window.
With a swoosh, a black shadow nimbly jumped in from outside the window.
"Where have you been all day?"
Siyang crossed her arms and faced Little Geek who was circling around her legs.
Ever since this little thing followed her to Zhaoge, it was inconvenient for Siyang to bring it along. Since she could not throw it away, she let it play by itself. It had disappeared for a few days, but today it finally knew to come and find its owner.
Little Geek squatted down and tilted its little head. It barked softly at Siyang.
"It's still acting like a spoiled child." Siyang shook her head helplessly. She squatted down and took out a porcelain bottle. She took out a small pill and fed it to Little Geek. "If Master sees this, he will probably stew you again."
Little Geek who had just eaten something good was rubbing against Siyang's hand like a spoiled child. It froze slightly, and its barks were filled with grievance.
After successfully intimidating Little Geek, Siyang did not feel guilty at all. She rubbed its head and was about to speak again when her gaze changed. She narrowed her eyes, got up and flew out of the open window.
"It's so late. Madam is going out."
"Ah." Liu Pipa was startled by the voice behind her. Her shoulders trembled and she hurriedly covered her mouth. She turned around and saw Siyang standing not far from her with her hands behind her back. She was looking at her calmly.
"Who exactly are you?" Now that there was no one else around, Liu Pipa did not have any scruples. She guessed that Siyang had seen through her.
"Didn't I introduce myself? I am a cultivator from Mount Zhongnan." Siyang stepped closer, her pale lips curled up slightly. She looked at Liu Pipa and slowly said, "I specialize in subduing demons and evils. I am a righteous person."
Every word that followed smashed into Liu Pipa's heart.
As Si Yang approached, Liu Pipa kept retreating until her back was against the door and she had nowhere to retreat. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said weakly, "You and I have no enmity. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"Madam is going out in the middle of the night. Isn't it because you want to seek help from the palace?"
Liu Pipa was stunned. Her expression suddenly changed. She stared in horror at Siyang's seemingly harmless face. Her lips trembled as she said, "You, are you the person who hurt my sister?"
Stroking his mustache, Siyang thought carefully and shook his head. "I don't know who your sister is."
"But … a few days ago, I met two evildoers. After a fight, I managed to cut off the tail of that vixen."
"…" Liu Pipa was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"What, what do you want?" Liu Pipa understood the situation. Nine-tailed Fox and the Pheasant Spirit were no match for this person. Today, when she took out that sword, she almost couldn't maintain her human form. If they fought, she had no chance of winning. If she made a big commotion and Li Jing found out that she was a demon, she wouldn't even have a place to stay.
Siyang's eyes gradually darkened. If she wanted to kill Liu Pipa, she could do it in front of Li Jing and the others. But … why did she want to kill her? There were so many evildoers in the world. She didn't have the leisure to do so. Besides, once Liu Pipa died, Li Jing's family would be free. Siyang didn't have a good impression of this family, so she couldn't do such a good thing.
"I just want Madam to know her place." Raising a finger to her lips, Si Yang blinked and said in a gentle voice, "This one wants to stay here temporarily. If you want to keep your life, then put away your little thoughts. Otherwise … I can't guarantee that you won't be as lucky as your sister, only losing a tail."
