A Demon’s Path
Chapter 20 Questioning
Ling Xiao took Tang Yingying's little hand, and Li Yuanhuan, who had just returned from the scene of the investigation, caught him right before he ran far.
"Junior Brother Ling, why are you here?" Li Yuanhuan obviously didn't expect to run into Ling Xiao, let alone Ling Xiao would be injured.
The most unexpected thing was that Ling Xiao dragged a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl to the sect.
Ling Xiao quickly explained: "Brother, I just sneaked out to drink, I hope you don't tell Master."
Li Yuanhuan's masculine brows frowned: "Your injuries, and her..."
Seeing Li Yuanhuan pointing at her, Tang Yingying was so frightened that she hid behind Ling Xiao, holding Ling Xiao's arm tightly with both hands.
Ling Xiao hurriedly patted Tang Yingying's hand, signaling her not to be afraid. Only then did Tang Yingying feel a little more at ease, but she still looked at Li Yuanhuan with a hint of wariness in her eyes, but it was relatively dark, so Li Yuanhuan and Ling Xiao didn't notice it.
Ling Xiao rolled her eyes, and hurriedly said: "On the way back, I ran into a mouse monster, and was about to eat this lost little girl, so I had a big fight with that mouse monster, and killed that mouse monster, It ended up being a lottery.”
"Nonsense!" Li Yuanhuan exclaimed angrily, "Don't you know that Master's hard work is on you? If something happens to you, what do you call our Beimin faction?"
"Don't be cruel to brother Xiao!" Tang Yingying suddenly roared, her brows were erected, and she stared straight at Li Yuanhuan: "Brother Xiao saved me, he is a good person, why do you want to be cruel to him?"
This time Li Yuanhuan and Ling Xiao were both stunned.
Ling Xiao was even more surprised at how Tang Yingying's courage had become so bold. He didn't know how fierce Li Yuanhuan seemed to Tang Yingying.
As a "good guy" like Ling Xiao was attacked so fiercely by Li Yuanhuan, Tang Yingying naturally stepped forward to "hold justice" for Ling Xiao.
Seeing that Tang Yingying actually stood up to speak for her, Ling Xiao was so moved that she almost hugged the little girl, thinking to herself: Brother Xiao finally didn't hurt you for nothing!
Li Yuanhuan sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's go back to the sect first."
Ling Xiao nodded, and the three of them returned to the Beimin faction together, and sneaked into the medicinal material storehouse.
Ling Xiao said cautiously: "Brother, don't let Master know what happened tonight. My injuries will definitely recover before I go to Falling Wind Valley. Don't worry about that. It's just that I hid Yingying in the medicinal material warehouse. You don't tell anyone either."
Li Yuanhuan is upright, but he is not a fool, he naturally understands that this girl's background is unknown.
Moreover, he could faintly feel that this girl had a faintly different aura that was different from human beings.
Master was busy with this matter, and he always felt bad.
But due to Ling Xiao's pleading, Li Yuanhuan had no choice but to compromise: "You have to make sure that this woman will not leave the medicinal material storehouse during our Beimin sect, otherwise, I will definitely report to Master."
Ling Xiao quickly made an oath: "Eldest senior brother, I can swear with my soul that before I send Yingying away, I will definitely not let her escape from the medicinal material warehouse."
The reason why Ling Xiao swears so boldly with his soul is because he didn't want Yingying to escape from the medicinal material storehouse.
As for Yingying running around and being discovered, it's none of his business.
For someone who Ling Xiao has already sworn a soul poison oath, he doesn't care about making one more.
Besides, he didn't say what would happen if he broke his oath. Only an honest person like Li Yuanhuan would be fooled by Ling Xiao: "Okay, junior brother, take care of your wounds, I'm going to watch the night."
"Well, big brother, go slowly." After sending Li Yuanhuan away, Ling Xiao finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Except for me, other people generally don't come here. If you hear someone coming, you can hide in the pile of herbs, understand? Brother Xiao will definitely take you home after a while." Ling Xiao Confessing it very seriously, Tang Yingying was so frightened that she nodded seriously very seriously.
Looking at Tang Yingying's cute appearance, Ling Xiao couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch her fair and tender face.
But think about it, forget it, lest Tang Yingying feel that she is taking advantage of her.
Ling Xiao, who never thought of being a good person, became a gentleman for a rare time.
After Ling Xiao returned to her room, she suddenly woke up. He even forgot to go to find that Ziyun, but he didn't accomplish anything, alas!
Although he had the chance to meet Tang Yingying, as soon as Ling Xiao's mind flashed Tang Yingying's incomparably pure eyes, he felt that he was really too despicable, too shameless, and too nasty.
Of course, when Ling Xiao thought of the four hundred topaz stones he had spent, his heart ached, although Tang Yingying was definitely worth the price to him.
The point is, the money was taken away by the bustard, he was very reconciled, so he could only comfort himself: "Hmph, forget it, I have money now, I'll scare you to death with spar!"
Another day passed peacefully, Ling Xiao didn't go anywhere, just hid in the medicinal herb, chatting with Tang Yingying about life and ideals.
Tang Yingying told Ling Xiao that she was a little demon from the Demon Island in the East China Sea, and ran out because of her greed for fun, and was caught by a soul master, and then sold to the old bustard of Piaohongyuan.
Therefore, Tang Yingying has a sense of fear and loathing for the soul master, which is why Tang Yingying dislikes Li Yuanhuan very much.
As for Ling Xiao, Tang Yingying didn't regard him as a soul master at all, but regarded her as her relative.
Whoever treats her well, she thinks who is her relatives, is a good person, the little banshee Tang Yingying's outlook on life is so simple.
Ling Xiao's peaceful days were just like this. The next day, when Ling Xiao was about to talk to Tang Yingying about life and ideals again, Li Yuanhuan found him helplessly: "Let's go, Master told you to go there."
Seeing Li Yuanhuan's serious expression without revealing anything, Ling Xiao knew it must be something bad.
As soon as Ling Xiao followed Li Yuanhuan into the hall, he found that all the brothers and sisters were there, just like when he first entered the Beimin faction.
Ling Xiao paid a little attention to the expressions on everyone's faces, and they turned out to be as serious as Li Yuanhuan.
Only that big man named Xiao Zhang stood beside Master Cheng Gantai with a proud expression on his face, looking at Ling Xiao with disdain.
That arrogant look was clearly telling Ling Xiao that you were doomed.
When Cheng Qiantai saw Ling Xiao walking in, although his expression didn't change, there was a trace of anxiety in his words: "Ling Xiao, a colleague told you about the land of wild flowers and willows at night, and even sold a banshee. This matter!?"
Ling Xiao knew that she was too high-profile in Beimin, and naturally there was no way to cover up this matter.
However, Ling Xiao wasn't worried at all, he had already made a calculation in his heart.
Even if the whole world believed that Ling Xiao would buy that little banshee, his master would not believe it.
Ling Xiao knelt on the ground very calmly, and bowed "affectionately" to Cheng Gantai: "Master, you are so kind to Xiao'er, you have made your classmates jealous, and Xiao'er is very frightened. If Master, you think this Everything is true, Xiao'er naturally has nothing to say, so please take back everything that the master gave to the disciple."
Just now, Ling Xiao knocked his head on the ground loudly when he bowed, and at the same time, his nose burst into tears.
Those senior brothers and sisters felt that they had done too much to this new senior brother after being performed by him so tearfully?
Cheng Yu's attitude towards Ling Xiao was still contemptuous: "A big man, why cry? It's disgusting!"
Seeing that Cheng Qiantai's face softened, Xiao Zhang became anxious: "Master, Ling Xiao bought a little banshee, and that's something that everyone in Beimin City knows!"
"Cough!" Cheng Qiantai coughed heavily: "Ling Xiao, what do you want to explain?"
Ling Xiao was waiting for Cheng Qiantai's words. When he heard Cheng Qiantai asked him to explain, he immediately stood up and asked Xiao Zhang with a sneer: "Senior brother Xiao, you said I bought a little banshee, is it true?" Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Xiao Zhang was momentarily at a loss for words: "No..."
After thinking about it, it's not right, so many people have seen it, even if I, Xiao Zhang, didn't see it, I'm afraid you, Ling Xiao, won't admit it?
So, Xiao Zhang shouted aggressively again: "But, many people in Beimin City have seen it!"
Ling Xiao sneered: "Those people are nothing more than scum who go shopping in brothels all day long. Can you believe what they say?"
Ling Xiao scolded the brothel shoppers, while comforting herself: I only went there once, and the scum shouldn't be counted.
I don't know why, after seeing Tang Yingying, Ling Xiao always felt that she was "sinful" before, and began to pay attention to her image.
Xiao Zhang retorted: "It's groundless, how could there be no reason? If you didn't really buy a little banshee, why would others say you?"
Ling Xiao had no choice but to spread her hands, and asked helplessly, "Okay, Senior Brother Xiao, how much did I pay for that little banshee?"
As soon as Xiao Zhang heard Ling Xiao admit it, he said proudly: "Four hundred topaz..."
When these words came out, even Xiao Zhang felt a little unbelievable.
Can Ling Xiao get the four hundred topaz? That was almost one year's protection fee sent by Beimin.
Xiao Zhang knew that he had no way to deal with the aftermath this time, and looked at Cheng Qiantai with a face of fear: "Master, I..."
"Humph!" Cheng Gantai said with anger, "Xiao Zhang, Master assured you that you let you work for our Beimin faction in Beimin City all day long, but you can't even distinguish the basic truth from false news, and framed Qing Yu from the same sect, if people from other sects find out about this, what face will our Beimin sect have? This time you will be fined for three months of monthly offering of crystal stones, and next time, your practice will be abolished and you will be expelled from the sect!"
"Yes, master, this disciple knows his mistake." Xiao Zhang was sweating profusely, and subconsciously wiped his forehead with his sleeve.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the fleeting sneer at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, and his heart trembled suddenly, a feeling of being targeted by a demon emerged spontaneously: "No, we must find a way to get this kid out! He didn't die , I die!"
