Mu Anxiao leaned forward, looking at the suddenly silent Tian Jiang, and asked, "Why did you stop talking?"
Tian Jiang said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but," she looked up and met Mu Anxiao's eyes, "I still don't believe your words, unless you tell me your purpose."
"My purpose?" Mu Anxiao pointed to herself and chuckled foolishly, "My purpose is very simple, it's to be your disciple."
"What I mean is, why did you choose me to be your master?" Tian Jiang said patiently.
Mu Anxiao smiled, "It's very simple, I don't believe you killed anyone."
"What does it have to do with you taking me as your disciple whether I killed someone or not?" Tian Jiang frowned slightly.
"It has no relation to you, but in my eyes, it does. If I become your disciple, I can help you. That way, the cultivators from the Immortal Sect won't trouble you, and those below won't dare to capture you. I can also learn the art of subduing demons. It's a win-win situation," Mu Anxiao spread her hands.
Tian Jiang sneered, "You think too highly of yourself."
"Of course. Originally, after I heard what you told me, I didn't want to become your disciple, but..."
"I know those two were eavesdropping. You don't need to make it up," Tian Jiang interrupted.
Mu Anxiao put on a surprised expression and said, "Oh? You know?"
Tian Jiang nodded slightly.
"Then it's easier for me to say," Mu Anxiao smiled.
"Continue," Tian Jiang uttered two words.
"It's precisely because they eavesdropped on you that your identity was naturally exposed. Those two guys clearly look like cowards who fear death. I'm worried they will go to the Immortal Sect to report you, and those people will make things difficult for you," Mu Anxiao said.
Tian Jiang sneered, "Do you think I can't even deal with them?"
"Not that. I know you're powerful, but..."
"Some realities, you have to accept them whether you like it or not. I did kill. I can't be your master. Also," Tian Jiang said, "I came to tell you that after tonight, you should leave here tomorrow. I don't want to see you. You'll affect me."
"You really killed," Mu Anxiao suddenly became serious.
"Yes, I killed," Tian Jiang nodded.
"Good," Mu Anxiao said, "Then I really can't leave."
"What exactly do you mean?" Tian Jiang was confused.
Mu Anxiao said, "To be honest, I don't know what I mean either, but I won't let you go."
Tian Jiang frowned tightly.
Mu Anxiao stepped forward, walked around the table to Tian Jiang's side, then took her arm: "You are a demon, killing people is a sin. You can't escape."
"What are you going to do?" Tian Jiang became nervous.
Mu Anxiao said, "I'll hold you. When the Yin messengers arrive, I'll hand you over to them to suffer punishment."
"I'm not going," Tian Jiang forcefully pulled Mu Anxiao's arm. "I was a demon hunter. The demons I caught and the good deeds I did can offset my sins. You have no right to arrest me."
"You said yourself you wanted to hide from them, not me," Mu Anxiao said, staring calmly at Tian Jiang.
Tian Jiang said, "I did say that, but I didn't make it clear. Now I'm making it clear."
"Now I haven't heard it clearly," Mu Anxiao said indifferently.
"You..."
"Honestly, did you kill someone or not?" Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Tian Jiang stopped struggling and looked down at Mu Anxiao's hand, saying, "Are you an idiot? I've already said it so clearly, and you're still asking. Aren't you tired?"
Mu Anxiao fell silent.
Tian Jiang glared at Mu Anxiao and said, "If you want to stay here, then be quiet. Otherwise, I'll make you leave this place in minutes." After saying that, she turned and left the room.
Mu Anxiao stood in place, staring blankly at the door that Tian Jiang had closed, and muttered, "After she said that, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore." Saying this, she turned her head to look in a certain direction.
In the Celestial Realm, Shi Yi followed the green-clothed man to the Immortal Tree. Shi Yi asked, "The old man said following him has a benefit. What benefit is it?"
Hearing this, the green-clothed man's upward-curving lips immediately fell. He asked, "What do you call my master?"
Shi Yi looked at the back of the green-clothed man's head and said righteously, "Old man, what's wrong?"
"Wrong," the green-clothed man said, quickly turning to Shi Yi. "You are now my junior brother. That's only natural. My master is your master. Since you call him 'old man,' fine, I, your senior brother, must teach you a lesson." As he spoke, he suddenly pointed at Shi Yi's forehead.
Shi Yi looked up at the green-clothed man's finger and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Go," the green-clothed man uttered one word.
The next second, Shi Yi suddenly flew up. Then the green-clothed man spread his hand and conjured an immortal rope, "Tie him up!"
Then, as if understanding the command, the immortal rope quickly bound Shi Yi's hands. Shi Yi exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"If you are not convinced, I will make you convinced," the green-clothed man said, pointing at the tree.
Shi Yi stared at the glowing fingertips of the green-clothed man. Just as he was about to speak, the immortal rope suddenly pulled him up and tied him to the trunk of the tree.
Thus, Shi Yi was hung on the tree.
"What are you doing?" he asked, looking down at the green-clothed man.
The green-clothed man looked up and asked, "Tell me, what should you call my master?"
"You..."
"Speak," the green-clothed man uttered one word.
Shi Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Master."
"Who am I to you?" the green-clothed man pointed to himself.
"Senior brother," Shi Yi replied helplessly.
"Very good," the green-clothed man nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Alright, you can ask your questions now."
"Let me down first, then I'll ask," Shi Yi said in a very docile tone.
The green-clothed man's lips curved: "You dare to make conditions with your senior brother. You must not want to live a good life."
"No, I just feel that looking up at you like this is disrespectful to you," Shi Yi explained.
Originally, the green-clothed man hadn't noticed this. Now that Shi Yi reminded him, he immediately reacted and pointed his hand at the immortal rope. The immortal rope instantly broke.
Shi Yi was stunned. Before he could cry for help, he had already fallen to the ground.
"This is better," the green-clothed man said, looking down at Shi Yi.
Shi Yi groaned and looked up at the green-clothed man, "Senior brother, you really know how to play."
"Not bad. If you want to talk about playing, our senior brother knows how to play best," the green-clothed man smiled and said.
"Are you talking about Shen Yan?" Shi Yi asked, forcing himself to stand up despite the pain.
The green-clothed man smiled broadly, "That's for sure. He's really good at playing. But I won't tell you the details of how he plays. You can experience it yourself."
