As for why I felt this sense of familiarity, I couldn't explain it. Anyway, it was strange. That was why I didn't treat Zhong Yuchen with sincerity. As the saying goes, one shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but one shouldn't have the intention to guard against others. After experiencing so many twists and turns, I had become more mature in dealing with people.
"Oh, then you should know who has it, right?
Brother Zhuang, this is related to the safety of the entire Nan Yun. Moreover, the growth of the Diabolism is not a trivial matter. If we don't pay attention to it in time, the Hua Xia Country will be in danger. You should know this very well!
So, while the Diabolism isn't strong enough, we should kill him in the cradle! "Zhong Yuchen said with a serious face.
Then, he added, "And that mirror is the key to finding the Diabolism.
"And that mirror is the key to finding the people of the Diabolism. You're afraid of death. Not only did you not participate in it, but you also hid many things from us. Not only did you affect our investigation, but you also pushed the people of Jianghu and the heroes of Wulin to the edge of the cliff. Once this matter spreads out, you will fall into a place of injustice. I think I've made the stakes clear enough, right?"
Zhong Yuchen's words were sincere and well-intentioned. He was worried about the country and the people. Listening to him, I was stunned. In fact, I had considered these things, but my ability was limited. I could only follow the Blood Devil's movements and then make corresponding countermeasures. In this way, I would always be led by the nose.
If what Zhong Yuchen said was true, and we could really find the Blood Devil's specific location through the Hellfire Mirror, it was a good solution. After all, I had used the Hellfire Mirror before. Maybe I had some special method to activate this function.
"All right. To tell you the truth, the mirror you mentioned was taken by a man called Ye Duzui. However, his identity is very special, so I'm not sure if I can get it back."
Since Zhong Yuchen had said so, I couldn't avoid answering him. That would make me look even more guilty. So, I told him the truth.
"Oh, how do you know if you don't try?
Moreover, we're just borrowing it. When we find the Diabolism, we'll return it to its original owner, "Zhong Yuchen said angrily.
Actually, his words had a double meaning, but I couldn't think about it at the moment.
"Brother, I'll go back and ask him. If he doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do."
Actually, I was somewhat hesitant about this matter. The most important thing was that I wasn't sure if Ye Duzui knew about my entanglement with the Blood Demon.
Unlike Grandmaster Chen and Curator Du, he couldn't help me unconditionally. If I asked him to help me, he would treat me as an accomplice of the Blood Fiend.
"Well, Brother Zhuang, regardless of whether you can do it or not, at least you have the heart to eliminate the evil and defend the Dao. This is worthy of recognition!" Zhong Yuchen nodded with satisfaction and praised him.
These words made me feel a little embarrassed. The Blood Demon was originally caused by me. If it wasn't for the nourishment of the Pure Yang Blood Essence, the Blood Demon wouldn't have been able to transform from a remnant of his consciousness into a small black ball. Sigh, I never thought of shirking my responsibility. When I entered the Martial Saint Monument for the second time, I even promised Daoist Zhang that I would fight for the sake of the world. That sense of righteousness made my blood boil.
Even if I were to be beheaded, I would fight without hesitation. Of course, if I had a suitable plan, I wouldn't have to fight the Blood Demon head-on. Even if I improved rapidly, I still didn't have full confidence.
Just like that, Zhong Yuchen and I reached an agreement. At this moment, the Witch Ye Ji slowly walked back. She pouted her small mouth, looking like a sulking little girl.
I had to say that her acting skills were top-notch. If I hadn't seen the video with my own eyes, I definitely wouldn't have believed that Li Meiyu had been possessed.
If that was the case, the Li family shouldn't have realized that if we didn't quickly come up with a countermeasure, the Witch Ye Ji might even use the Li family to commit some heinous crimes.
"Brother Xiaochen, he couldn't have said anything bad while I wasn't here, right?" The Witch Ye Ji asked curiously.
"No, Brother Zhuang isn't a narrow-minded person. Even if you offended him with your words, he didn't lower himself to the level of a little girl like you," Zhong Yuchen said as he shrugged.
"Hmph! Why are you in the same boat as him?" The Witch Ye Ji said with a wronged expression.
"Alright, I'm also full. I won't disturb your meal." I glanced at the Witch Ye Ji. Coincidentally, she was also looking at me.
Even though it was only for a moment, I felt an indescribable numbness, as if half of my strength had been sucked out of my body.
"Brother Zhuang, don't forget what you promised me the next time we meet," Zhong Yuchen said as he chuckled and greeted me.
After saying goodbye to them, I returned to my original seat. I found that He Gang was happily chatting with the two beauties. It was as if this fellow's passion had been ignited. From his previous sultry attitude, he had become as cheerful and witty as possible.
At first, Tang Mengyun didn't care about him, but when she heard that He Gang wasn't only my friend, but also my disciple, her attitude changed a lot. Moreover, she felt a little guilty for her previous overreaction.
No matter what, I had helped her family a lot. At that time, the debt collectors had kidnapped her. If I hadn't appeared in time, she would have lost her chastity. Not only did I prevent the tragedy from happening, but I also erased the huge debt her father owed.
That way, Tang Mengyun didn't have to bear twenty or thirty thousand renminbi in interest every month. When she didn't have the pressure of paying off the debt, she found that life was beautiful. After hearing about this, her mother gradually smiled. She even asked her to invite me to her house to play and ask if I had a girlfriend.
Of course, Tang Mengyun just brushed it off. She understood that the possibility between her and me was very small. She couldn't lie to her mother just because she wanted to save face.
