Luo Yiyi has never shed tears sincerely.

She has never known why people cry. All she has learned from TV dramas is that crying may be a means to achieve one's own goals, and she is more inclined to believe that it is "crocodile tears."

At that time, Luo Yiyi, who was still two years old, asked curiously: "How can I cry?"

Mechanical Sound was a very good teacher. He conjured up an electric mosquito swatter on the spot to let her experience the pain of being electrocuted, and then told her that what flowed from her eyes were tears.

Luo Yiyi rubbed her fingertips that were hurt by the electric shock, squatted down and stared at the two or three drops of tears falling on the ground.

"Is this tears? Do you cry when you feel pain?"

"Not necessarily. Human tears are amazing. We cry when we are sad, grief-stricken, and in pain, but we also cry when we are happy and joyful."

Little Luo Yiyi couldn't understand: "What does that mean?"

"You can't understand this. You will understand it naturally when you encounter it in the future. These are not tears that are forced out, but tears that flow naturally when you are deeply in love."

This moment was obviously the natural moment that the mechanical voice mentioned, but Luo Yiyi had no time to savor this novel feeling, but instead focused all her attention on the seriously injured Qi Gui.

“Gui Gui, I still have Zhan Zhan’s sword energy, shall we run first?”

In response to Luo Yiyi, Qi Gui suddenly stood up and opened her hand, relying almost entirely on his body memory to swing out the Dragon Soul, once again cutting off the vines that pounced on him. But he kept coughing up blood, and the bright red blood gradually took on an ominous black color, indicating that he was not only seriously injured but also had demonic energy invading his body.

Luo Yiyi's eyes widened, and she could only watch Qi Gui expending his life to protect her, but she was at a loss. She knew that Qi Gui, as the protagonist, would never die, but he would still be hurt and feel pain.

Whenever she thought of this, she felt panicked. The unprecedented feeling of fear made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Ghost, ghost, ghost..."

"No need to shout. He has already lost consciousness and is now swinging his sword based on instinct only to protect you."

Hearing a familiar voice from behind her on the left, Luo Yiyi turned around abruptly and saw that the person standing with a fan was none other than Zhu Fangcheng, who was supposed to be outside.

As expected of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, with a wave of his fan, all the vines rushing towards him were cut off by the wind blade, and the evil spirit that tried to approach was blown away at the same time.

But seeing that Luo Yiyi was about to run over, his calmness instantly turned into panic. He waved his hands to refuse and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"No, no, no! Don't come over here!"

Luo Yiyi paused after running a few steps, looked down at her foot which seemed to be fine in confusion, then looked up at him in doubt.

“Why can’t I go over there?”

Zhu Fangcheng glanced behind her with fear, and raised his chin to signal her to go and see for herself.

"Given your apprentice's unconscious state, anyone who comes close to you will be attacked by him. Stay away from me. It's best to keep a safe distance."

Luo Yiyi could only take a few steps back and no longer move forward. At the same time, seeing more and more black blood gathering under Qi Gui's feet, she became more and more anxious.

"Chengcheng! What's wrong with Guigui? He ignored me when I called him and refused to follow me!"

Zhu Fangcheng looked at Qi Gui with a very serious expression. After observing for a while and confirming his thoughts, he looked back at Luo Yiyi, but this time there was suspicion in his eyes.

"You said he was your apprentice, and his name was Qi Gui?"

Luo Yiyi decisively admitted: "Yes, Guigui is my only disciple."

"Then did you know... that he is a mixed-blood?"

"Mixed blood?"

Seeing Luo Yiyi's confused face, Zhu Fangcheng couldn't help but doubt his own judgment, but since he had already decided to do it, he would not give up halfway.

"He is a mixed-blood demon. One of his parents must be a demon and the other a human. These disciples from the four major sects wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"

Luo Yiyi's eyes became clear again, and she obviously knew these basic knowledge. Her unsurprised attitude also confirmed Zhu Fangcheng's guess.

"So you know?"

"I knew it. I knew it from the beginning."

Surprised by Luo Yiyi's honest answer, Zhu Fangcheng thought she would continue to play dumb. However, he was more concerned about another issue.

"I don't think even he knows he's a mixed-blood, so how do you know?"

Luo Yiyi thought about it and realized that it was unrealistic to explain that she was a time traveler, so she could only tell him tactfully.

"Of course I learned it from Master!"

"Master? You mean the Venerable Tianlu? Is it he who asked you to take a half-blood as your apprentice?"

Luo Yiyi was very satisfied with the other party's imagination, which automatically completed all the follow-ups in her answer and nodded in agreement.

"That's right! Master asked me to do it!"

Zhu Fangcheng's complex expression was tinged with awe.

"Is it true that Venerable Tianlu can communicate with heaven and earth? Then isn't he only one step away from ascending to heaven?"

Luo Yiyi didn't understand what he was saying, so she could only shrug innocently and let him imagine the rest. At this moment, she only cared about whether Zhu Fangcheng could help.

"Chengcheng, why do you want to know if Guigui is mixed-blood?"

Back to the purpose of his visit, Zhu Fangcheng's expression became stern.

"He has five spiritual roots and has successfully established his foundation in just two years. He also has a true dragon soul as his natal sword. I must take this hybrid away."

"Take it away? What for?"

Luo Yiyi responded perfunctorily on the surface, but in fact her mind was quickly recalling the relevant content in the original plot, and she actually found a scene similar to this one.

In the original plot, Zhu Fangcheng encountered a demon causing trouble while traveling with Qi Gui. In the end, the demon's self-destruction triggered the sealed demon root in Qi Gui's body, causing the demonic energy to explode and almost exposed his mixed-blood identity.

It was Zhu Fangcheng who took the half-possessed Qi Gui away in time to avoid his identity being exposed. At the same time, Zhu Fangcheng not only helped him to suppress the rioting demonic energy in his body, but also told him the plan of the hybrid general to unify the human and demon races.

After that, the two began to cooperate. Zhu Fangcheng was attracted by Qi Gui's identity as the direct disciple of the First Sword Master, which was the best cover in the world. Qi Gui, who was unable to split himself into two, could use Zhu Fangcheng to control the power of the mixed-bloods for his own use.

So, on the surface, Qi Gui returned to Tianyan Sect and continued his status as the direct disciple of the First Sword Master, while leading the righteous monks to kill the "disobedient" demons; secretly, he became the leader of the mixed-bloods, killing the righteous monks who hated the demons - especially the mixed-bloods, and constantly provoking tensions between humans and demons.

What Zhu Fangcheng wanted was for a "humble" half-blood to stand above everyone else, but what Qi Gui wanted was to be above just one person.

In the end, Zhu Fangcheng was impressed by the protagonist's personal charm. Because Qi Gui led the entire demon clan and made the half-bloods the dominant ones in the demon clan, he gave up his own goal and took the initiative to help Qi Gui manage the affairs of the demon clan.

In Luo Yiyi's opinion, this behavior was undoubtedly a complete injustice.

So, when Zhu Fangcheng was about to answer her question, he was first faced with Luo Yiyi's sympathetic gaze, which made the corners of his mouth twitch.

"What's that look in your eyes?"
