So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Teahouse, in front of the pavilion.

Everyone put their hands behind their backs and looked at Ye Yu and others who were walking slowly from the stairs.

Looking at Mu Zhian behind Ye Yu again, he looked calm. He was no longer as "flustered" as he was in front of the competition stage just now, and there was no expression on his face.

When they saw Lan Mulian, the elders of these big families and even the clan leader bowed their hands towards her.

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, then turned to look at the three people behind him.

His eyes swept over Bai Ruoxi's body inadvertently, and then looked past Mu Zhian and fell on Ye Yu. A clear and cold voice with rich texture said:

"Ye Yu, how do you want to confirm what you just said?"

The elders of the Ye family looked at Ye Yu's figure and frowned inadvertently, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Ye Yu's attack just now.

The Ye family is no better than the Mu family. If it is really confirmed that Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, it would be okay.

But if Bai Ruoxi's identity as a demon cultivator is not proven in the end, the Ye family may be severely blackmailed by the Mu family afterwards... No, just a small amount of blackmail is probably enough.

If Mu Zhian is cruel, it won't just be as simple as extorting a sum of money...

"Ye Yu, all the major families in Tianxuan City are present today, you must act with caution." The elder of the Ye family reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

Mu Zhian is not on good terms with all these small families. After all, there are only four major forces that can truly dominate Tianxuan City, and the Mu family holds the largest share.

As long as the four major forces stand on one side, even a fool should know how to stand on the side.

Ye Yu cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Elder, of course I dare to expose this matter in public only if I have evidence."

"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. If we really allow the demon cultivator to enter the Liangyi Sect in the future, I am afraid it will cause a catastrophe."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Mu Zhian behind him and took out a small box.

From the small box, he took out a pill with a dark luster.

"Empty Pill?"

The alchemist from Chenxi Chamber of Commerce recognized the elixir in Ye Yu's hand and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The prescription of this empty elixir is quite rare. For those who take this elixir, the spiritual energy in the cauldron will be purified, and all the mixed spiritual energy will be discharged from the cauldron.

To put it bluntly, the real function of this empty pill is for those monks who practice meditation and absorb a lot of mixed spiritual energy.

This Ye Yu is smart. If Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, the demon energy in her body will be expelled from the cauldron as soon as possible.

The acting patriarch of the Gongsun family narrowed his eyes and stared at the pill in Ye Yu's hand.

The master told me before he came here that today he should talk less, do less things, and just be a bystander.

To put it bluntly, the meaning of this was to tell him not to interfere and first see if Ye Yu could confirm that Bai Ruoxi was the demon cultivator.

If it is confirmed that Lan Mulian attacks the Mu family at this time, then the Gongsun family, even if they want to help, will be "powerless".

At that time, we can take advantage of this opportunity to secretly gain some benefits, and even get back the three squares that were swallowed up before.

If Ye Yu was unable to confirm the matter, the Gongsun family would jump in to do a favor and stand on the side of Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi to question Ye Yu.

To put it bluntly, the Gongsun family just wants to be on the sidelines. They don't want to offend either party, but they want to reap the benefits of both parties.

Ye Yu handed the elixir in his hand to the only alchemist present and said, "Senior Wan, you are a highly respected alchemist. If I hand over the elixir to you, everyone can rest assured."

"You can check first to see if there has been any tampering with the Kong Wu Dan refined by this junior. This would be fairer."

Ye Yu glanced at Mu Zhian casually and said, "Save some people from saying that I tampered with the elixir later."

Wan Lao nodded slightly and raised his hand to take the empty pill.

The elixir floated in his palm, and ripples swept across the surface of the elixir.

After a while, Wan Lao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lan Mulian, and said:

"There is nothing wrong with this elixir."

Lan Mulian raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Mu Zhian casually.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, looked at Bai Ruoxi, and said: "Since there is nothing wrong with the elixir, just take it. It is quite troublesome to refine this empty elixir. Such a precious thing is given away for free." If we don’t take it, wouldn’t we be sorry for Master Ye’s hard work?”

Bai Ruoxi's palms hidden in her sleeves clenched subconsciously.

If this Kongwu Pill is true as the rumors say, as long as it is taken, the demonic energy will overflow from the body, then in front of so many people... I am afraid that even Mu Zhian will not be able to reverse the situation.

But with so many people watching now, if you don't take this pill... wouldn't you be guilty of committing a crime?

Now Bai Ruoxi is in a dilemma.

Ye Yu's "sneak attack" this time was really ruthless.

"Young man from the Ye family, if this proves that my daughter is fine, just wait for me." Father Bai stared at Ye Yu with a gloomy face.

Ye Yu said respectfully: "Uncle, please be patient. If Miss Bai is confirmed to be a demon cultivator, then I'm afraid my uncle will need to investigate."

After all, Bai Ruoxi is Father Bai's biological daughter. If Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, then Father Bai and even Bai Yuanfeng may suffer in the future.

"What's more, didn't I specially refine this empty elixir to prove the truth of this matter?"

After that, Ye Yu turned his head to look at Bai Ruoxi and gestured, "Miss Bai, please."

Bai Ruoxi stared at Ye Yu and was silent for a long time. She raised her hand slightly and took the empty pill floating in the air.

After about a cup of tea, Lan Murian's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly caught a wisp of pink smoke floating quietly in the air.

Demon spirit!

A wisp of pink demon spirit overflowed from Bai Ruoxi's body!

This scene made everyone present change color, and Bai's father's face was terribly gloomy, staring at Ye Yu.

Ye Yu couldn't help but smile with a sure victory on his face.

He had repeatedly asked his "teacher" before, and spent a lot of money to find the medicinal materials for the empty pill, and took great pains to refine this valuable empty pill.

If he was not sure, how could he reveal it in this occasion?

"Miss Bai, it seems that my judgment is correct." Ye Yu looked at Bai Ruoxi, whose lips had lost their color, and spoke slowly.

Her white face was less bloody and more pale, making the already weak and cold girl look even more sickly.

"It's really a demonic aura..." Gongsun Ping stared at the weak beauty, seeming a little unbelievable.

Mr. Huang narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though he had heard about this from the guest of the Chamber of Commerce before, he was still a little surprised when he really saw this scene.

"You have surrounded and suppressed a demon cultivator before. Now think about it, will the demon cultivator have more than one companion?" Ye Yu spoke again.

Bai Ruoxi suddenly raised her head, stared at Ye Yu, and said coldly: "I have never cooperated with any demon cultivator in private!"

"This kind of thing is not up to you alone, Miss Bai." Ye Yu looked at Lan Mulian and said: "Senior sister, how do you think this matter should be judged?"

Lan Mulian ignored him, her eyes fell on Bai Ruoxi as if nothing had happened, and was about to speak.

At this time, Mu Zhian seemed to have been unable to hold back his laughter, and suddenly chuckled.

What are you still pretending at this time...Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian, with a dark face: "Master Mu, you have a close relationship with the demon cultivator in private, and this matter may also be related to you."

Mu Zhian pointed to the pink smoke that had already drifted in the air in the air, shook his head and smiled: "Master Ye, do you think this is demonic energy?"

"What else?"

"I think this is spiritual energy." Mu Zhian looked at the pink smoke drifting in the air and said seriously.

"You are talking nonsense!" Ye Yu said angrily.

Mu Zhian asked back: "Isn't the luck I just tested also pink? Am I also a demon cultivator?"

Ye Yu frowned.

This guy was clearly making a fuss, but he didn't know how to refute him.

Mu Zhian looked up at Lan Mulian and said, "Sister, can you take out the test tablet again?"

Lan Mulian nodded silently, took out the test tablet that was only the size of a palm, and gently threw it on the ground.

The black stone tablet then quietly enlarged.

Mu Zhian stretched out his palm and touched the test tablet.

At this moment, the test tablet once again emitted a faint pink light.

Mu Zhian bathed in the pink light, turned his head to look at Lan Mulian, and said, "Sister, if the identity of a demon cultivator can be confirmed by color alone, then am I not also a demon cultivator?"

"I know that the Liangyi Sect's Qi-seeing technique is one of the best. Senior sister can test my identity." Mu Zhian continued.

Noticing that everyone's eyes were all looking at her, Lan Murian picked up a talisman and burned it. A faint golden light appeared in her clear eyes, and she swept her eyes calmly over Mu Zhian.

At that moment, everyone seemed to be able to see the faint white light emanating from Mu Zhian's body.

That was the aura of a human cultivator.

"He is not a demon." Lan Murian finally came to a conclusion.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "Since I am not a demon but I am emitting pink luck, why must the pink smoke that Miss Bai just emitted be demonic energy?"

Mu Zhian turned his head to look at the clan leaders and elders behind him, and humbly asked:

"I believe that you are all fair and just people, full of righteousness. Do you think the pink smoke in Bai Ruoxi's body is demonic energy or aura?"

The acting clan leader of the Gongsun family raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Lan Murian, who looked cold but never spoke.

His eyes flickered, and he immediately stroked his beard and smiled: "No matter how I look at it, it looks like ordinary spiritual energy."

"Indeed, I have heard in the past that some cultivators have special physiques, and the spiritual energy in their bodies is different from others, so they are occasionally mistaken for demon cultivators, but in fact they are just human cultivators."

"Indeed, this is spiritual energy." Mr. Huang smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it is spiritual energy."

"How could Miss Bai be a demon cultivator? She is the pride of our Tianxuan City."

Next, people spoke up one after another, all of whom believed that this was spiritual energy rather than demon energy.

Bai Ruoxi looked at this scene in astonishment. Even she did not expect that the situation would be reversed so easily.

Mu Zhian turned his head to look at Ye Yu, who had an ugly face, and asked word by word, "Master Ye, I want to ask you again,"

"Do you think this is spiritual energy or demon energy now?"
