At midnight, most areas of Luoyang City were asleep except for some special industries.

Most of the candles in the city's largest inn, the "Yanyu Tower", had been extinguished long ago, with only a few windows of the upper rooms still glowing with faint candlelight.

The roof of the Yanyu Tower Inn is made of typical blue bricks and black tiles. With a height of more than three stories, one can have a panoramic view of the entire Luoyang city when standing on it.

Zhu Fangcheng came to Si Yu's room and knocked on the door for a long time but heard no response. Then he had an idea and went to the open-air platform on the third floor of the inn. He stepped on the railing and the eaves and flew onto the roof in a few steps. He saw Si Yu sitting on the edge of the roof not far away, in a trance.

"It's so late and you're still not resting, what are you thinking about?"

Feeling that there was another person sitting next to him, Si Yu did not turn around or respond.

Zhu Fangcheng followed her gaze and looked forward, and found that the City Lord's Mansion was not far away.

After observing for a while, he found that there was nothing noteworthy in the City Lord's Mansion at this moment, then he looked back at Si Yu, and when he got closer, he realized that the expression on the other's face was stunned with a hint of grievance and confusion.

Zhu Fangcheng sighed softly.

He had long ago been able to tell from the look in Si Yu's eyes when she looked at Qi Gui that the girl had fallen in love with him, and at the time he was happy to see it happen.

On the one hand, if Qi Gui can be with Si Yu, who is also a mixed-blood, it will make him feel more of a sense of belonging to the mixed-blood demon clan; on the other hand, if the two are combined, it will enable them to control the power of the royal family to some extent, which will be a great help.

Therefore, in the past he always consciously created a separate space for the two of them, trying to bring them together and deepen their relationship.

At that time, he thought he had succeeded. Qi Gui's eyes turned from politeness to doting and tolerance when looking at Si Yu, and Si Yu loved and relied on him wholeheartedly. In the end, she even disobeyed Huang Ming and ran away from home just to be with Qi Gui.

But now it seems that these were just his self-righteousness, or perhaps they were all deceived by Qi Gui.

All along, the demeanor and expression Qi Gui showed when facing them was just a mask, and no one could see his true thoughts under the mask.

No! There is one person who can see through it, perhaps because Qi Gui only shows his true side to her.

After seven years of separation, the bond between the master and the apprentice not only did not break, but it became stronger with time and distance. This was indeed an incredible thing, but when it happened to Luo Yiyi, Zhu Fangcheng inexplicably felt that it was natural.

Just as Zhu Fangcheng was thinking about all sorts of messy thoughts, he heard Si Yu's sobbing voice.

"Brother Qi's master...who is Luo Yiyi?"

Zhu Fangcheng was stunned at first, then he glanced at Si Yu's relatively calm expression and carefully noticed the faint flashes of tears in her eyes. He considered his words for a while before answering.

"Luo Yiyi was born in the Luo family, but when she was three years old, the entire Luo family was massacred by the demons. It was at that time that she was rescued by the passing Tianlu Venerable, who brought her back to the Tianyan Sect and accepted her as a disciple. This incident caused a sensation in the entire divine and mortal world at the time. Everyone believed that Luo Yiyi must have some extraordinary qualities to be chosen by the Tianlu Venerable, who never accepted disciples."

"So what's so special about her?"

To Si Yu's surprise, Zhu Fangcheng simply shook his head. He didn't know what he was thinking about but he chuckled inadvertently.

This made her forget the resentment and anger in her heart for a moment, and she turned around to look over in surprise.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhu Fangcheng waved at her and spoke softly with a faint smile on his face.

"Nothing, I was just laughing at how people often complicate simple things out of ignorance. At first, I had the same idea as everyone else, until seven years ago when I spent some time with Luo Yiyi. Then I found that she was actually an ordinary child. If there was any difference..."

Even though so much time has passed, Zhu Fangcheng naturally thought of the little things he had experienced with her during that month, as well as the many times he couldn't help laughing and crying.

"She is not a good kid, but she is not a bad kid either. She treats every living being equally, regardless of whether they are human or demon. Her likes and dislikes are very straightforward. If she likes something, she likes it, and if she dislikes something, she dislikes it. But she also has a pair of eyes that I think are the most transparent, as if she can see through people's hearts."

A confused expression appeared on Si Yu's face. She simply couldn't match the person Zhu Fangcheng mentioned with the Luo Yiyi she met in the afternoon.

As if he saw her confusion and doubt, Zhu Fangcheng shook his head slightly.

"I know you definitely don't believe it, but if you can talk to her, I think she will be able to subvert some of your ideas."

Si Yu still had considerable doubts: "You said she treats humans and demons equally? How is that possible? I don't believe that if she knew that Brother Qi was a half-demon, would she still treat him as her apprentice?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fangcheng answered directly: "I think she should know, because she knew I was a mixed-blood seven years ago, and she was the one who personally entrusted the seriously injured and dying Qi Gui to me."

"What did you say!"

Si Yu's eyes widened in surprise, her lips trembling but no sound came out. She could not speak until she calmed her pounding heart.

"According to what you said, isn't Luo Yiyi very strange? She is the direct disciple of the number one person in the divine and mortal world of the righteous sect, but she doesn't care at all that her disciple is a mixed-blood. It is possible that she accepted Brother Qi as her direct disciple even though she knew that he was a mixed-blood. At that time, she was only six years old!"

"It's very strange."

Zhu Fangcheng admitted it very decisively, but there was no sign of nervousness on his face.

"But so what if it's strange? Si Yu, we just need to understand Luo Yiyi's position. At least now it seems that she is on the side of Qi Gui, which means she is also on the side of the mixed blood. As long as we know this, she is our friend instead of our enemy."

Si Yu shook his head, obviously unwilling to accept his idea.

"No! She will not be my friend, and I will never let her take Brother Qi away from me. I will definitely take Brother Qi back with my own hands!"

Zhu Fangcheng was speechless and powerless at the moment, but there was no other way, so he could only try to reconcile the relationship between the two. After all, the Tianyan Sect represented by Luo Yiyi and the Dynasty represented by Si Yu were both very important and indispensable in their plan.

"Si Yu, I can assure you that Yiyi will never be an obstacle to the relationship between you and Qi Gui. On the contrary, if you can have a good relationship with her, you and Qi Gui will be firmly locked in this life."

Si Yu seemed to be persuaded and looked at Zhu Fangcheng suspiciously.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true! Don't underestimate the relationship between Qi Gui and Yi Yi. It's not an exaggeration to say that Luo Yi Yi is Qi Gui's salvation. If you do something to hurt his master, I think you will never be with Qi Gui in this life. So you have to think clearly about how to achieve your wish."

Si Yu lowered his eyes, and after thinking carefully, he had an idea in his mind.
