"We should return to the palace once more."
"Haha, who would have thought Bai Qiuran, you would have a day of sneaking away from others."
"The Demon Emperor's lifespan is nearly at its end."
"Isn't that just a self-inflicted wound? If the Crown Prince hadn't ordered the massacre in Linzhou back then, the Sword Ancestor of the Azure Nether wouldn't have killed him directly."
"If you had listened to my suggestion back then and let Cui Luo hit you once, perhaps this grudge would have been resolved long ago. With your strength, you wouldn't have gotten killed by her."
Having left the inn, the scene of the incident, Zuo Yanfei suggested, "Those guards who followed the Crown Prince at that time must know where he truly died. We need to act faster; I'm afraid the murderer might silence these witnesses."
"The person who killed the Crown Prince is at most at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and their methods are terribly crude."
"Don't be so anxious. What if Ruo Wei and the others find the hiding spot for those little demons first, and then we go? It's not too late then."
A gentle breeze rustled through the courtyard, taking the shape of a figure among the leaves.
"The Demon Emperor's lifespan is nearly at its end."
"Yes."
"After all, I killed the demon prince back then, and also her mother... and Cui Luo is definitely not a demon that thinks things through calmly."
"Forget it; I don't mind you being like this."
"Of course, you are welcome."
After Cui Luo departed, Su Xiangxue sat quietly for a moment and suddenly spoke, "Come out; everyone has left."
Tang Ruo Wei nodded, but then Bai Qiuran suddenly raised his hand. "Why should I have to take her hits without retaliating?"
Su Xiangxue leisurely poured herself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.
After Cui Luo left, Su Xiangxue quietly sat for a moment before suddenly saying, "Come out; everyone has left."
The green-haired woman bowed deeply once more, and a whirlwind mixed with leaves wrapped her whole body, making her disappear.
In the back courtyard of the Joyful Realm, the graceful figure in white pressed her fingers gently on the zither before her.
"Yes, recently we have been dispatched to take all the demon clans within the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands to the Demon Realm."
Zuo Yanfei asked curiously, "Sister, left Yanfei?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Bai Qiuran pushed open the courtyard door and walked out, scratching his nose.
"After all, I not only killed the demon prince back then, but also her mother... and Cui Luo is certainly not a sort of demon that thinks calmly."
"Speaking of which, why don't you go and play that lovey-dovey experience game with your Shangxuan princess disciple instead of coming to me?"
"Mm? Bai Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Having left the inn, Zuo Yanfei suggested, "The guards who followed the Crown Prince at that time must know the real scene of his death. We need to hurry; I'm afraid the murderer will strike against these witnesses."
"Then why aren’t you going?"
Hearing that the Hehuan Sect was full of women, it was likely that this colleague was also female. With the mischievous reputation of the Hehuan Sect, Tang Ruo Wei felt a slight discomfort.
"Long time no see, Crown Princess."
"Now, the case looks a bit strange. If it goes any deeper, I feel I won't be of much help to you."
"Then why aren’t you going?"
Su Xiangxue leisurely poured a cup of tea for herself from the teapot on the table.
A figure wrapped in green silk, beautiful and alluring, appeared in Su Xiangxue's courtyard as she bowed and paid her respects.
"The one who killed the Crown Prince is at best of Foundation Establishment late stage, and their method is very uncouth."
"I don't really like your disciples, they are too flashy and pretentious."
Bai Qiuran put down his teacup and asked, "Is there a reason that Su Sect Master does not welcome us old folks?"
"Forget it; I don't mind you being like this."
"After all, I not only killed the demon prince back then but also her mother... and Cui Luo is certainly not the type of demon who thinks rationally."
The sound of the zither was light and breezy, and as the beautiful woman in white played gracefully, she smiled playfully, making hearts flutter.
"I'll go find some friends."
"I don't really like your disciples, they are too flashy and pretentious."
"Now things seem a bit strange, if it goes any further, I doubt I will be able to help you any."
"After all, I not only killed the Crown Prince of the demon race, but also her mother... and Cui Luo absolutely isn’t a demon who knows how to think carefully."
In the back yard of the Joyful Realm, the elegant woman in white played the zither softly.
"Come out; everyone has left."
Bai Qiuran, appearing somewhat disappointed, sat opposite Su Xiangxue. The green-haired woman raised her head to look at Su Xiangxue.
"Please, wait a moment, there's no need to rush."
Zuo Yanfei nodded in agreement.
"But we should regroup and head out again."
With that, they went through their plans, intertwining their fates in this world.
