Ji Chengshan thought he was about to die, then he heard the sound of the sword being knocked down.
He opened his eyes and saw only the back of a slender woman. He was a little surprised. Someone dared to intervene in the duel of life and death?
He only heard the woman in white say, “Who am I? They all call me Holy Maiden Aunt.”
Ji Chengshan was surprised. The Holy Maiden Aunt of the Demon Sect?
Mo Yuntian stood in the crowd and wiped his sweat. This girl never acts according to common sense. She even dared to go up and interrupt a life and death duel.
“From the Demon Sect?” Feng Feiling frowned and glanced down at Leng Yeling, as if asking, how did your Demon Sect people come here and ruin her plans.
Leng Yeling’s body stiffened a little. He leapt to Feng Feiling’s side and looked at Tang Guo with an unhappy expression, “Why are you here?”
“Naturally, I came to save someone.” Tang Guo spoke with a faint smile. She pointed at Ji Chengshan lying on the ground. “The one I came to save is him.”
Feng Feiling said coldly, “This is a life and death arena. Since they stepped onto the platform, it means both sides are willing to risk their lives. No one has the right to interfere. Holy Maiden Aunt, right? Since you’re from the Demon Sect and have some connection with Brother Yeling, I’ll let it slide. But you’d better leave now.”
These words made Leng Yeling’s heart warm. After all this time together, Ling’er still cared about him. Even if she occasionally treated him coldly, he was still different in her heart.
“This isn’t the Demon Sect. You can’t do as you please. Ling’er is already letting it go. Why aren’t you stepping down?” Leng Yeling said impatiently. He really hadn’t expected Tang Guo to show up.
Wasn’t it fine behaving obediently in the Demon Sect? Why insist on coming here to anger Ling’er?
“What’s with all this ‘you you you’? You don’t even greet your aunt properly when you see her. You are truly a rude junior.”
Leng Yeling’s face darkened. “What nonsense are you saying?”
“Is it not? Shouldn’t you call me Aunt?”
“Tang Guo!!” Leng Yeling was finally so angry that he forgot where he was. He even shouted it out in front of Feng Feiling. The moment he did, he realized he had messed up.
Feng Feiling grabbed Leng Yeling. “What did you just call her?” Her expression was hard to read. If she hadn’t misheard, Leng Yeling had just said the name Tang Guo, hadn’t he?
Seeing that he couldn’t lie his way out, Leng Yeling had no choice but to say, “She is Tang Guo.”
“What?” How could that be?
Feng Feiling stared wide-eyed, looking at Leng Yeling with a hurt expression. He must have known for a long time. Why had he still lied to her?
Her mind was in chaos. Wasn’t Tang Guo supposed to have had her spiritual roots destroyed? That strike just now, even she couldn’t block it. What’s going on? What happened after Tang Guo disappeared?
“Brother Yeling, you lied to me?”
“Tang Guo is actually in the Demon Sect? Could it be… it was you…”
Leng Yeling was flustered and quickly explained, “Ling’er, let me explain. It’s not what you think. I don’t know how she ended up in the Demon Sect either. I only didn’t tell you because I was afraid you’d misunderstand. She’s been in the Demon Sect all this time and never intended to come out.”
Feng Feiling believed Leng Yeling’s words. His anxious look didn’t seem like he was conspiring with Tang Guo.
As for why Tang Guo became the Holy Maiden Aunt of the Demon Sect, maybe there were other reasons.
But she didn’t show that she believed Leng Yeling’s explanation. “Brother Yeling, you’ve really disappointed me. She harmed me once, and now she wants to stop me from avenging Pei Xue. She clearly has ill intentions, yet you still let her stay in the Demon Sect.”
“Everyone, this Holy Maiden Aunt of the Demon Sect is none other than Tang Guo, the one who was expelled from our Xingyue Sect. She stole the sect’s treasure, failed to frame me, and had her spiritual roots crippled. Somehow, she ended up in the Demon Sect.” Feng Feiling raised her voice to the crowd. “Now she even wants to interfere with the life and death duel, stopping me from killing Ji Chengshan to avenge my friend. I really don’t understand why she opposes me at every turn.”
