"It's true that I was the one who brought A Yuan to the sect, but as his senior brother, having been with him for so many years, don't you feel whether he is a demon or a human? If he is a demon, how could he use spiritual power to practice?" Fang Jingqiu retorted.

Yuan Dongliu let go of Yu Qing. The things he had been hiding from others were finally revealed by Yu Qing. Now he was extremely worried about the future of Tianyun Sect.

Seeing his disappointed face, Sui Lin asked, "Why didn't you tell your brothers and sisters that Qu Ziyuan was a demon? Are you going to wait until he fights us before you tell us?"

"He was once my disciple. Do you want to order a suppression against him? Once the truth is exposed, it will inevitably become the fuse of the "Demon War". At that time, the Tianyun Sect will be roasted on the fire by those cultivators just like a hundred years ago. The disciples are not yet fully grown. Do you feel safe letting these children go to the front line of the battlefield? If it becomes a situation where death is inevitable, will it be you, or that girl, who will sacrifice herself to summon the Heavenly Dao?" Yuan Dongliu asked.

Sui Lin was speechless. He seldom asked about the sect's affairs. Usually, other people who came out of the sect were afraid of the Heavenly Dao behind him and would not make things difficult for him.

Looking at Sui Lin's otherworldly demeanor, Yuan Dongliu smiled, "Yes, how could I forget? You never asked about these things, Sui Lin, do you still remember? When I succeeded to the position of the headmaster, there were so many voices of opposition, saying that I was mediocre, that I was cowardly, that my magic was not the strongest among my fellow disciples, that I was not as good as Qing Shuang, Zheng Gang, Dan Dan, Chen Mo, or you. But it was me, and I became the headmaster. I had to devote all my energy to deal with these internal and external troubles. Since you call me brother, I should protect you."

"Sometimes I really don't want to be the head sect leader, because I really want to be an elder like you, staying in the peak all day long and not having so many troubles. But sometimes when I look at you, I feel proud. Over the years, you have lived together in harmony and have been able to live in peace in a corner. Doesn't it mean that I am doing a good job as the head sect leader?" Gradually, tears welled up in Yuan Dongliu's eyes.

He has been in a high position for nearly a hundred years, but has no one to complain to. He can only guard the Tianyun Sect and hope that it will be more prosperous than a hundred years ago.

It's just that too much time has passed, so long that the Tianyun Sect that remained in Yuan Dongliu's memory has faded, and only the current sect that has been with him for a hundred years remains in his mind. He will never allow any uncertain factors to destroy his hard work.

Yuan Dongliu looked at Yu Qing who had fainted on the ground at some point, and said to Sui Lin, "It was my fault for what happened today. I shouldn't have allowed Yu Qing to mess around. But, I hope you won't reveal the matter of the inner demon. After all, he is my disciple, and I still want to help him. After daybreak, my second disciple will temporarily take over Yu Qing's affairs."

"Girl Fang, Qu Ziyuan is indeed a demon, but I hope you don't tell anyone else, not even your brother."

Sui Lin pulled Fang Jingqiu up and said, "I will not pursue Yu Qing for today's matter. If he bullies my disciples again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless. Sui Lin's disciples must not be wronged outside of Tianqing Peak."

While walking on the road, Fang Jingqiu couldn't help but ask: "The headmaster said that A Yuan is a demon, but can he use spiritual energy to practice?"

"I don't know either. Some mysteries can only be solved with time. Perhaps one day in the future you will get the answer." Sui Lin changed the subject: "How come you are not alert to others at all? You are so brave to come to the main peak so late at night. If it wasn't for Gaga calling me, would you really fight with Yu Qing?"

Fang Jingqiu touched his nose and said, "I accepted the invitation just in case Senior Brother Yu had something urgent to do. Besides, he is usually very tolerant towards his disciples, so I thought nothing would happen."

Sui Lin heard this and angrily knocked her head and said, "Do you think everyone is the same inside and outside? He appears to be a gentle and refined senior brother, but who knows what kind of person he is inside?"

She held her head and dodged, begging for mercy: "Master, please don't hit me. I know I was wrong."

He sent Fang Jingqiu to the door and said, "Come to the observatory to find me at noon. You need to work hard on your missed practice."

Fang Jingqiu curled his lips, but was unable to refute. After bidding farewell to Sui Lin, he opened the door, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

It was dawn. After a night of interrogation, nothing useful had been found. Fang Yiqin pressed his forehead. He felt a headache when he thought about having to deal with that lunatic Yu Qing. Li Si came over and asked, "Brother Fang, you must be tired after a night. Why don't you go and rest first? I'll go and keep an eye on the foot of the mountain for you, brother?"

Fang Yiqin waved his hand and said, "If I don't go, who knows what Yu Qing will say to me. But didn't you spend the whole night with me? Go and have a rest first, and come back in the afternoon."

Li Si was indeed very tired, so he nodded and went back to the house to rest.

Fang Yiqin looked at Li Si and couldn't help but smile. It had been two years since Li Si entered the Discipline Hall. If it weren't for this incident, he would not have discovered such a talent.

When Yi Qin arrived at the foot of the mountain, he discovered that Yu Qing was not there today, and someone else had come instead.

"Senior Brother Baili, why didn't Senior Brother Yu come today?" Fang Yiqin said.

Baili Chunqiu shook his head with a wooden face, then turned to look at the scene and asked, "What is this?"

Fang Yiqin walked over and said, "This seems to be some kind of herb. We didn't find it here yesterday."

Hearing this, Baili Chunqiu looked at the others and saw that they all shook their heads to indicate that they had never seen this. He lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "I have read the records you gave to Master. It says that the patrolling disciples seemed to have been bewitched and buried the demon corpse not far away?"

"Yes, I have the records from this morning's review here. Please take a look, Brother Baili." After saying that, Fang Yiqin took out the records from his chest and handed them to Baili Chunqiu with both hands.

Baili Chunqiu took it and compared the two records carefully, wondering: "These disciples said the same thing, why do you want to review it again? Do you like to waste your time on these useless things?"

After hearing what Baili Chunqiu said, some of the disciples of Rihua Peak who were there yesterday immediately stood up for Fang Yiqin and said, "Who would try the case again for no reason? Isn't it Senior Brother Yu who is targeting our Junior Brother Fang?"

"Be careful!"

Baili Chunqiu said expressionlessly, "I wrongly blamed you. I usually stay in seclusion, and was forcibly caught out by Master in the early hours of this morning. Now I am suddenly asked to take over all these things. If there is anything that is not handled properly, Junior Brother Fang can just point it out."

Fang Yiqin nodded in agreement. As for the senior brother Baili in front of him, he was a well-known cultivation maniac in the sect. He had been in the sect for so long but had only met Baili Chunqiu a few times. He had gone out of the sect for training and returned to the sect for retreat. He had just achieved a breakthrough some time ago and had gone into retreat again without stopping.
