This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 81: Right and Wrong

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Right and Wrong

Super Forces already sit atop the pinnacle of this world, a thing of legends to the common folk, and even for Cultivators, they are seemingly unattainable.

Under normal circumstances, meeting an ordinary disciple of one of the eight great Super Forces is quite normal, but encountering a True Inheritor is considered lucky. And now, directly meeting a Chief True Inheritor, it’s no wonder the crowd has exploded into a frenzy.

"Mystic Bureau No. 907 Shadow Guard greets Liang Chief and He Chief!"

The masked Shadow Guard is also a straightforward man; aware of the identities before him, he knows this is beyond his jurisdiction and immediately sheathed his just-drawn sword to pay respects to Liang Yi and the two others.

"He Brother, why not hand these three over to him to deal with?" Liang Yi, seeing the dilemma facing He Zhiqing, spoke to ease the situation.

"That works. These three are seeking trouble; just take them back with you!" He Zhiqing was precisely worried about how to deal with this troublesome trio.

Letting them go wouldn’t be appropriate; they had provoked their own demise without consequence, as if Complete Heaven Sect was made of mud that couldn’t be fired? Moreover, they dared to flirt with a senior sister? But to directly kill them with a slap also seemed inappropriate; he was no murderer, and this offense hardly warranted death.

Besides, this is Qingliang. Given their own status, a bit of commotion is no issue. But to disregard the law and kill someone in the street—well, that wouldn’t do, especially on someone else’s territory.

"Yes, my lord! The Mystic Bureau will sure to provide a satisfactory response!"

Who else to arrest if not these three? With them, tomorrow’s quota is all set. If they can’t take on those two, can’t they handle a few who’ve come to compete?

It’s not him being boastful, but all who come to participate in the sect competition are from second-rate forces or lower. For these people, the Mystic Bureau doesn’t need a reason to arrest them.

He looks sympathetically at the three unlucky souls thrown over by He Zhiqing.

You see, people should brighten up when they are out and about, really thinking Qingliang is some remote little city? Here, it’s not uncommon to see a Sixth Realm master hit by a thrown brick on the street.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Three sounds of slicing through air, and three Shadow Guards dressed identically appeared next to No. 907, eyeing the scene with an unfriendly gaze.

No. 907 briefly explained the situation to them and informed them of the identities of Liang Yi and the other.

"Shadow Guard No. 233 greets both lords!"

"Shadow Guard No. 589 greets both lords!"

"Shadow Guard No. 576 greets both lords!"

The three Shadow Guards simultaneously paid their respects to He Zhiqing and Liang Yi.

"Rise. This time these three initiated the conflict, and we were forced to retaliate. You all see to the rest!"

Liang Yi nodded, and promptly placed an iron pot thick with 502 glue over the heads of the idiotic trio.

The Shadow Guards glanced at the three who lay on the ground, uncertain of life or death, then at Liang Yi and his companion, whose hair was still unaffected,

"Yes, my lord!"

One of the Shadow Guards took out specially made shackles from his storage bag, designed to seal Mana, and placed them on the trio, who were still unconscious.

"Then, esteemed lords, we will take our leave now!"

With the three injured troublemakers in tow, the Shadow Guards vanished without a trace.

"Master Ying, not going to meet those two?"

At a nearby second-floor teahouse, a Shadow Guard quietly asked the white-robed young man leisurely enjoying his tea and observing the end of the commotion.

"What need is there for me to intervene in such trifling matters? After the grand sect competition, there will be plenty of opportunities to get acquainted during internal exchange!"

Ying Tianxing swirled his teacup, a smile playing on his lips as he watched Liang Yi stroll back.

"A Banished Immortal’s disciple? Heh, interesting."

·····

"He Brother, didn’t you say you’d let me handle them? I hadn’t even finished speaking, and they were almost beaten to death by you."

Liang Yi and the others resettled themselves at the table, only to find that the vicinity had cleared out.

"Uh, it was an accident, I couldn’t hold back," He Zhiqing said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, picking up his cup to pour himself a full glass of wine, "This drink is to apologize to Liang Brother."

After speaking, He Zhiqing downed the Lonely Mountain Wine in one gulp.

"Big Brother, what will happen to those three?" Su Youyi was still somewhat indignant.

"Well... normally, they’d be locked up for three months in the big jail, but this time, with both He Brother and myself speaking up, it will likely be more than just jail time—their sects might get dragged in too,"

Liang Yi pondered and responded.

"Hmph, they got off easy this time!" Su Youyi snorted coldly.

"There, there, be good now! Don’t be angry, getting angry is bad for your health." Liang Yi said with a smile, gently patting his junior sister’s head as he consoled her soothingly.

"Alright, but next time I’m doing it!" Su Youyi said, rubbing her hands together in preparation to give these people a harsh lesson next time.

"Sure, sure, sure!"

Liang Yi helplessly agreed but then felt something odd. Why wasn’t Senior Sister Yu speaking?

Looking up, he saw Yu Gejing—already as gentle as the Jiangnan Water Town—now shyly gazing at He Zhiqing with her eyes full of bashfulness. He Zhiqing, feeling extremely uncomfortable under her stare, didn’t even dare to reach for the food with his chopsticks.

In just the short while they were out, the table had been filled with aromatic and tempting dishes, enough to make anyone drool.

Yu Gejing, seeing the distressed junior brother sitting up straight and stiff, casually suggested,

"Why don’t we try the delicious dishes first?"

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, that’s right!"

He Zhiqing sighed in relief, eagerly nodding and chiming in.

"Wait a second!"

Just as He Zhiqing was about to reach out with his chopsticks, a fair, delicate hand held him back.

"Junior Brother, aren’t you going to tell me why you intervened just now?" Yu Gejing asked directly.

Thinking to wait for the junior brother to bring it up on his own? That would probably never happen in this lifetime.

"Of course, it’s because that blind fool dared to touch you!" Liang Yi thought silently to himself with a scoff, wasn’t it obvious to everyone?

"Of course, it’s because that blind fool..." He Zhiqing blurted out.

"Hmm?" Yu Gejing’s eyes lit up slightly, expectant as she looked at He Zhiqing.

"They were so ugly! Ugly enough to offend me." He Zhiqing ended up holding back what he truly wanted to say.

Unexpectedly, this reply infuriated Senior Sister Yu, and she readied her killing move.

"You’re true to yourself, He Big Brother!" Liang Yi couldn’t help but express his heartfelt admiration.

While He Zhiqing was distracted, Liang Yi stealthily grabbed a few pieces of meat for himself and his junior sister. He gave her a mischievous wink, signaling her to ignore the others and eat quickly!

"Hey, hey, the meat’s almost gone!" He Zhiqing caught a glimpse of Liang Yi’s action out of the corner of his eye, and decisively cut through the mess, grabbing her gently curving, boneless jade hand at his waist.

He joined the battle for food with Liang Yi with chopsticks in his other hand, oblivious to Yu Gejing’s flushed ears by his side.

"Hey, He Big Brother, this is too much, using your cultivation like that!" Liang Yi protested when he saw He Zhiqing shamelessly getting the upper hand.

"Hmph, whoever grabs it gets it!"

He Zhiqing laughed, ignoring Liang Yi’s protest.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I’m here too!" Su Youyi declared her support.

After a fierce battle.

"Senior Brother, I can’t win either..."

Su Youyi looked at Liang Yi with a wronged expression.

Watching the trio goof around, and infected by the joyful atmosphere, Yu Gejing also started to chuckle behind her hand.

As the four of them joked and laughed, their relationship became even closer without them noticing.

"Aren’t you going to see old friends?"

Seeing that Yu Gejing had no plans to meet with friends after dinner, He Zhiqing asked in confusion.

"No need. She’s very busy right now, there’s no point in disturbing her. Our friendship isn’t built on just a visit or two."

Yu Gejing shook her head. Beitang Hao, who had been dashing around the main hall, was too busy to pay any attention to them, let alone Beitang Xue, who was occupied in the kitchen.

"If that’s the case, let’s go back and rest. Who knows, maybe tomorrow we’ll have a chance to meet with old friends."

He Zhiqing turned to look at Liang Yi and Su Youyi trailing behind him, both were patting their stomachs, having eaten their fill.

"Senior Brother, the food at this place is so delicious. Can we come back one more time before we leave?" Su Youyi pleaded, tugging at Liang Yi’s arm.

"Of course, I want to eat here again too." Liang Yi wouldn’t refuse such a request.
