Chapter 213 The Conman 13
"Where's the ancient demon we were promised? It's just a little Taoist priest!"
Just thinking about how this beast in human form told the painted-skin ghost that this was a one-time exception, Ling Yi felt an itch to touch him.
Ling Yunzi grabbed the lamb by its two front legs and pulled it off the cart, saying nonchalantly, "If a dragon or phoenix were to appear, naturally an ancient demon would be needed to handle it. But this is just an ordinary lamb. Isn't that a waste of its potential?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze, who felt utterly hopeless, kicked Ling Yunzi's knee with his hind legs.
Who does this old man look down on?
Isn't he also an ancient demon?
Ling Yunzi cried out "Ouch!" and tossed the lamb into Bai Chengye's arms, saying, "Taoist priest, please catch this!"
The man, who looked as dignified and aloof as an immortal, was knocked off balance by a small lamb, and even the peach wood sword behind him went askew. In an instant, he lost all his dashing demeanor.
Bai Chengye frowned slightly and took Bai Ze's hand: "You are being rather rude."
Ling Yunzi rolled his eyes: "That's just how we wild Taoists are, please don't mind."
He paused, then said with a half-smile, "Even if I mind, there's nowhere to complain. On the contrary, it's me..."
Bai Chengye sensed the unspoken meaning in his words and his expression turned slightly serious: "Complaints are welcome. The Administration Bureau has always been discerning and will surely give me justice."
As he spoke, he pressed two fingers together against Bai Ze's forehead, but he did not sense any aura belonging to a demon, and his expression became even colder.
“He has no demonic aura on him, sir, perhaps…” Bai Chengye’s voice suddenly stopped, and he looked down at the little lamb that had kicked off his restraints and run to the side.
He had long been wary of demons and had been using his magic to imprison them, but even with such vigilance, he still couldn't discover how the monster had escaped his control.
"Well?" Ling Yunzi asked with a half-smile, "Do you believe me now?"
Bai Chengye clenched his fist at his side, then nodded lightly: "Thank you for providing the monster. The Bureau will educate it on common sense and will not allow it to wreak havoc on the world."
"What if it comes out and wreaks havoc on the world?" Ling Yi said with a smile, holding her myna bird.
Bai Chengye said matter-of-factly, "A wicked and immoral monster should be killed by everyone, so naturally he should be killed by the sword!"
His righteous and eloquent demeanor truly resembles that of a selfless Taoist priest.
"Do all demons receive this kind of treatment?" Ling Yi asked somewhat aggressively, drawing Ling Yunzi's attention.
Bai Chengye looked coldly at Ling Yi. As a genius Taoist from a prestigious family, he was always the one questioning others, and no one else had the right to criticize him.
Does this person think that providing a clue gives them the right to interfere in his work?
but……
Thinking of that terrifying demon, he pursed his lips and said coldly, "Of course, there are no exceptions among demons and ghosts in this world!"
He despised even law-abiding demons, let alone demons that harmed humans.
In his opinion, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts, and those monsters should live in history. We should kill them one by one as soon as we find them, so that they will not have the opportunity to cause trouble in modern society.
Unfortunately, the ideas above seem to differ from his.
"Please remember what you just said." Ling Yi lightly stroked the bird's head, said this casually, and then walked into the villa.
"Good apprentice, wait for me!"
Seeing this, Ling Yunzi followed, leaving the person and the sheep outside rudely.
Bai Ze was so angry that he kicked Bai Chengye's leg. That guy Wu Jin just dumped him on a stranger like that. Didn't he know that Bai Ze had just woken up and had no fighting power at all?
What kind of management bureau is this? There's nothing in this world that can manage him!
"You bastard!" Bai Chengye pressed down on Bai Ze's head with one hand, his coldness and disgust finally no longer concealed: "If you continue to act wildly, I will erase your intelligence and turn you into an ordinary beast!"
The lamb, which had just gained sentience, seemed too frightened by his threat to move. Only then did Bai Chengye tie its four hooves together, start the car, and drive away.
"Good apprentice, you don't like that little bull-nose guy either?"
"Also?" Having spent a lot of time with this old geezer, Ling Yi had learned to extract useful information from his words.
While rummaging through his books, Ling Yunzi said nonchalantly, "Yeah, didn't you know your master has always been the most resentful of the rich?"
"They're all just out to scam people, but just because they have a Taoist temple, they're able to accept tens of millions of yuan in donations!"
At this point, Ling Yunzi's teeth seemed to be grinding to powder.
The little beast's face is so similar to that old beast's face back then. If it weren't for that old beast tricking him and his master into being cannon fodder, how could he have ended up in this wretched state, unable to communicate with heaven and earth?
"Pfft..." Blowing away the dust from the sect's inheritance, Ling Yunzi casually wiped it with his sleeve and tossed it to Ling Yi: "Take a look, is there anything you don't understand..."
He paused, then said casually, "If you don't understand something, think about it more and make good use of the internet!"
If he doesn't have his apprentice's abilities, then he shouldn't try to stifle his apprentice's inspiration.
Who knows, the apprentice might discover a new secret technique while researching?
This useless old man could only barely keep her from going mad.
"You really know how to do this." Ling Yi gave him a thumbs up, then leaned back on the sofa and opened the so-called secret treasure of her sect.
At first glance, the handwriting is rather ugly.
At first glance, the content has many merits.
As she diligently read through those ancient books, Wu Jin, nestled in her arms, could clearly feel the faint, pure aura rising from her body.
Even those eyes that had been hurt before seemed to have become brighter.
Between black and white, there seems to be a Tai Chi symbol rising.
What kind of talent is this?
Even Wu Jin, who was used to seeing ancient humans cultivate, began to doubt Ling Yi's bloodline.
Thinking of the few strands of hair he had cut off earlier, his brows twitched slightly.
night.
Ling Yi placed the ancient book, which she had only read a little over, beside her pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
The bird in the cage in her room watched this scene silently, and after confirming that her breathing was even, it vanished from the room in a flash.
Meanwhile, in the isolation room of the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, Bai Ze was watching a simple modern animated film on a screen.
That was meant for children to learn common sense about society, and it doesn't seem out of place at all when applied to these newly-formed monsters.
It's just so childish...
Bai Ze was born into a life of power and influence, and he could easily devour demons like peanuts. He never experienced the naivety he has now.
If it weren't for the fact that this human artifact was brightly colored and could provide some useful knowledge, Lord Bai Ze would have long ago given it a shove to silence it completely.
