Chapter 549 Real Person, You're Applying Double Standards?
Xue Lan and the others left Xie Cui City and headed to the Desolate Region. Their first stop was the Long Sword Sect to pick up Yin Hun and Lu Feng.
"You said you were going to the Longsword Sect with Xue Tong, and that I should stay here with your senior uncle?"
The inner demon looked at the woman standing on the cloud not far away and wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
Xue Lan nodded gently: "That's right, you stay here and keep my senior uncle company."
The woman in white took two steps forward, trying to discern a hint of a joke on Xue Lan's face, but Xue Lan remained solemn, her gray eyes calm and unwavering.
She means it.
The inner demon frowned and transmitted his voice to Xue Lan:
Do you still remember that I am your inner demon?
Xue Lan glanced deeply at the inner demon and spoke:
"I know, and I know you won't do anything."
The inner demon clicked his tongue softly. His gaze towards Xue Lan held a hint of mockery.
Do you think you know me very well?
Xue Lan thought to herself, "Of course I understand my Heavenly Soul," but in the end, she didn't say it to her inner demon.
She spoke softly:
"Didn't you want to go to the Nine Heavens Demon Realm and slay the Demon God?"
"Stay here with my senior master, and I will grant your wish."
The inner demon was almost laughing in anger at this person. The woman crossed her arms and looked at Xue Lan:
"Are you just making empty promises to me?"
Xue Lan chuckled softly, her tone slightly cheeky: "I knew you'd eat it."
A quarter of an hour later, the inner demon looked at the gentle-smiling old man opposite him, somewhat at a loss.
Shen Suan Zhenren looked at the woman opposite him who had an identical appearance to Xue Lan and asked with great curiosity:
"Are you Lanlan's inner demon?"
The inner demon, clutching the Wolf King's air pancake, gently raised his eyes to look at the old man, his tone unusually timid:
"Yes."
"If I hadn't seen you, I would never have imagined that a demon like you could exist in the Yuanming Realm." Shen Suan Zhenren looked at the demon's dazzling silver hair and icy blue eyes:
Do you know about Lanlan's past?
"Would it be convenient for you to tell me?"
The inner demon pursed his lips slightly, about to refuse, when Xue Lan's short, cold voice echoed in his mind:
"tell him."
The inner demon couldn't help but frown:
"If you're really worried, stay here by yourself and don't eavesdrop alone."
After his volatile outburst at Xue Lan, the inner demon couldn't help but soften his tone when speaking to Shen Suan Zhenren:
"Real person." The woman raised her hand and flicked out a tea set from her sleeve:
Would you like some tea?
Shen Suan Zhenren looked at the tea set floating in front of the two and spoke gently:
Do you like drinking tea?
The inner demon answered honestly, "It's not that I like it, it's just that I really have nothing to do when Xue Lan locks me up in her sea of consciousness."
Upon hearing the woman's honest answer, Master Shen Suan couldn't help but chuckle twice, then covered his mouth with his exaggerated sleeve and coughed lightly twice.
The inner demon saw a smear of blood that the old man had deliberately wiped away.
The woman felt slightly uncomfortable. She personally poured a cup of hot tea for Master Shensuan, then smiled and said:
"Where would you like to begin hearing Xue Lan's past stories?"
"Let's not talk about her for now." Master Shen Suan waved his hand gently, then took a sip of tea and said:
Let me tell you about myself first.
The old man looked at the inner demon with a kind smile: "This is something even Lanlan doesn't know."
The inner demon became interested upon hearing about Shen Suan Zhenren's painting. The woman, holding her teacup, sat opposite Shen Suan Zhenren, a rare hint of anticipation appearing in her icy blue almond eyes.
Shen Suan Zhenren looked at her, his smile widening.
Although he can be a little too obsessive at times, the child in front of him is clearly just like Lanlan.
Thinking of this, the old man cleared his throat slightly and spoke:
"The previous generation of Xuanhuang Sect had a total of five disciples. Among them, Junior Brothers Daoxuan and Lingyuan were disciples of Weihe and Daojun, and they were all sword cultivators through and through."
"Kongming and Zhuyun, one studied medicine under the tutelage of Master Xuanji, and the other studied music under Daoist Qingyin."
Aren't you curious about who my teacher is?
The inner demon narrowed his eyes slightly, probing the aura of the Calculating Master. Perhaps because he had been probing other people's fates for many years, the old man's aura was very mixed. The inner demon did not have Xue Lan's ability to judge people based on cause and effect, and he could not see it clearly.
So the woman had no choice but to guess, following Shen Suan Zhenren's words, "Is Zhenren a disciple of Linghuang Zhenren?"
Master Shen Suan smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Linghuang still has no disciples."
The inner demon couldn't quite figure it out, and the woman slowly shook her head at the Calculating Master:
"I can't guess who it is."
Seeing his inner demon give up at the slightest setback, Master Shen Suan felt somewhat helpless and couldn't help but speak up:
"How come you're just like Lanlan?"
The inner demon retorted confidently, "I am her inner demon. Who else would I be like?"
The old man thought it over and agreed. He stretched out his hand slightly, and the spiritual energy in his hand transformed into a slender willow branch, which he gently flicked at the forehead of the inner demon.
The willow branches were slender, and even a careful calculation showed that the real person hadn't exerted much effort.
But the inner demon grabbed its head and jumped up, taking several steps back.
"Why is it like this?" Master Shensuan smiled as he looked at the inner demon.
"I feel the same way about Lanlan."
The inner demon glanced at the old man speechlessly, then reluctantly sat back down in his seat, muttering under his breath:
“You’re lying, Zhenren. You’ve never hit her.”
The old man in the blue robe chuckled, then squinted and spoke:
"That's because Lanlan is well-behaved and cute."
The inner demon, who had been eavesdropping on Xue Lan's conversation using her senses, said, "How come I didn't know your blindness was contagious?"
Xue Lan, who was leading Xue Tong through the clouds and breaking through the wind towards the Longsword Sect, spoke somewhat embarrassedly:
"Actually, I was quite cute when I was little."
The inner demon sneered, clearly not believing it:
"You're just taking advantage of the fact that I wasn't awake at the time."
After waiting for a while without receiving a response from the inner demon, Shen Suanzhen decided to kindly reduce the difficulty of the question for the child.
So when the inner demon finished his conversation with Xue Lan and came to his senses, he heard the words of the Calculating Master with a hint of sadness:
"I'm just like that little girl from the Puppet Sect of the War Puppet Mansion."
"A young girl from the Puppet Master's Puppet Sect?" the inner demon murmured.
"Is it Wu Yijun?"
Shen Suan Zhenren looked at Xin Mo with a hint of reproach: "Why do you call her by her full name? Wouldn't it be better to call her Jun Jun like Lan Lan?"
The inner demon immediately realized Shen Suanzhen's double standards, and his mood soured.
The woman spoke angrily:
"Just now you said you would treat everyone equally, but you never find fault with Xue Lan."
It was rare for Shen Suanzhen to laugh and act shamelessly, so he frankly admitted, "There's nothing I can do, I'm just biased."
The inner demon rolled its eyes at the old man:
"You said you are the same as Wu... Junjun, could it be that you are a defender of the Xuanhuang Sect's Calculation Peak?"
