Sage Cai gave Nan Gong Bei Cheng a long deep look and was silent for a moment before nodding: “Okay, this girl is the future wife of the Nan Gong Patriarch. It is only natural that you protect your wife! So be it, since you used your clan as a guarantee, this Sage agrees to your request. As long as you remember your words, Nan Gong Brat. Else, do not blame this Sage for being merciless!”
This was a form of agreement.
Nan Gong Bei Cheng thanked Sage Cai before supporting Mu Rong Xin Nuo up, the latter felt as though she no longer has bones and weakly leaned against his body.
Wine Sage was confused, “Old Cai, what are you planning? You know that girl is highly suspicious…”
Sage Cai’s body swayed as his entire being weakened significantly, “This old man thought that the ominous sign would disappear along with the end of the war of the two races. Yet when I did divination earlier, it unexpected became even more dangerous.”
“Ah?”
Wine Sage jumped in shock. He then noticed Sage Cai’s reaction was a result of a backlash.
“What happened?
Sage Cai calmed down, “I divined using Mu Rong Xin Nuo and Witch as the key targets…”
Wine Sage found it hard to believe, “Her cultivation is so low. Even if you did divination on her, how could the backlash be so powerful?”
“I do not know. This woman is certainly not simple. On a closer look, there are too many loopholes around her. Her parents passed away at a young age and she was taken in by Madam Ru and raised in my Ji Mo Clan, no one would notice her. As she no longer has parents, the Mu Rong Clan also viewed her as a member of the Ji Mo Clan and did not take note of her as well… Except for Madam Ru, no one knew how she developed or what big incidents she has encountered while growing up…” Sage Cai started to think back in detail.
Wine Sage was anxious, “This is all the more why we should not release her. What if she does something to the Nan Gong Brat? What if she is connected to the Devil Eye and caused another series of trouble?”
Bai Li Zi Xi was a prime example, the disgrace of humanity.
The great war between the two races was caused by Bai Li Zi Xi.
Sage Cai pondered, “Nan Gong Brat has the Third Eye and will not be infected by Devil Energy easily. We can secretly assign men to watch over his safety. This woman is a problem, and Nan Gong Brat knows it as well, yet he chose to protect her. He might have something planned in mind, we just need to observe and decide how to react accordingly.”
“He is really not hoodwinked by a Witch? Look at Brat Ya, he was thoroughly played by the demoness…”
“Humanity needs to recuperate after experiencing a considerable war, while the Devil Men were extremely cunning, it is best not to startle them prematurely. I kept having a feeling that something went wrong somewhere. My instincts are telling me that even if Mu Rong Xin Nuo is a Witch, we cannot touch her as well…”
Wine Sage pondered back, “She seems to possess a confident attitude, what is it?”
“No idea. I am helpless in front of the secrets of the heavens. Let’s continue to observe the situation.”
“Sigh!”
The Half-Sages might be equivalent overlords in Spirit Treasure Continent. However, they still did not possess the ability to change the fate ordained by heavenly laws…
***
Demon Race.
Lion Demon Emperor Palace.
A travelworn Bai Chen Feng travelled without rest whilst carrying the egg that Huan Qing Yan transformed into to quickly arrive at the Demon Emperor Palace.
A crowd of demon servants were out to receive him respectfully. However, all they saw was their Demon Emperor immediately charging into his study without pausing.
The demon servants anxiously exchanged glances, not knowing what his actions meant.
They thought back about how this new Demon Emperor was originally a Demon Man created by the previous Lion Emperor. Yet the former miraculously received some form of divine aid and became a prestigious member of the demons today.
