After a sumptuous snack that could be considered neither breakfast nor lunch, Luo Yiyi was lying on a lounge chair in the yard, drinking tea to digest the food and lazily basking in the warm sun.

A cultivator in the foundation-building stage has already left his physical body, so he doesn't need to eat or sleep, but Luo Yiyi regards these as a necessity. She firmly believes that sooner or later she will return to her own world and become an ordinary person again.

Luo Rourou and Luo Cheese also thought so, so they retained their eating and sleeping habits while cultivating to become spirits.

When she squinted her eyes and was drowsy, a shadow covered her eyes. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and saw a string of candied haws sparkling in the sun.

Taking the candied haws from Qi Gui, Luo Yiyi put it in her mouth and took a big bite. The sweet and sour taste exploded in her mouth. It was the perfect dessert to help digestion after a meal.

"Master, what are your plans for today?"

Luo Yiyi glanced at him: "What about you? Why did you ask Si Yu to come to Luoyang City with you?"

Qi Gui told his plan truthfully without hiding anything.

"The demon saint Qi Ke has been hunted by the demons since she escaped from them. It was not until she married Jing Yaoyang and moved into the imperial palace that her life was stable. This is because the barrier surrounding the entire imperial city strongly repels demonic energy, especially pure-blooded demons."

Luo Yiyi was curious: "Since the barrier repels evil spirits, how is it possible for Qi to stay safely inside the barrier?"

"Because Qi Ke was pregnant with a human child at the time, and the child also had Wang's bloodline, the barrier naturally opened up for her."

"This barrier is really humane."

Regarding Luo Yiyi's complaints, although he didn't understand what "humanization" meant, Qi Gui didn't get entangled and continued talking.

"Qi Ke hates the demons' pursuit, but she has no chance of cooperating with the righteous sects, so she took the initiative to find Zhu Fangcheng. She will help our mixed-blood tribe to reach the top, and the price is that she can completely get rid of the demons' entanglement and be with her loved ones at ease."

"What a love-brained person. He is willing to kill his own people just to be with his lover?"

"Qike is a very scary person. She is brave, resourceful, thoughtful, and ruthless. If she hadn't been in love, it would be hard to find a chess player like her in this world."

Luo Yiyi looked at Qi Gui in surprise, surprised that he would have such a high opinion of a cannon fodder supporting role. This made her a little interested in Qi Ke.

Qi Gui, however, doesn't care that there are people who are better than him. He never denies or avoids the strength of others, but he also won't be afraid or shrink because of it. Correctly viewing the excellence of others is also the greatest motivation for him to keep improving.

"This time we came to Luoyang City at Qi Ke's request. She wanted us to kill Sun Mingyuan and then imprison Sun Siyun."

Luo Yiyi's eyes widened in surprise: "Isn't Sun Mingyuan her lover? Even though he was once her lover."

Qi Gui was not surprised at all: "For someone like Qi Ke, the only lover is the current one. She can do anything for the one she loves. Besides, the people of the demon clan don't have any sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame. She showed her maternal instinct by not letting us kill Sun Siyun as well."

"Then why did she want to kill Sun Mingyuan?"

"At the time, she said that Sun Mingyuan had become a lackey of the demons, and the entire Luoyang City had become a town actually controlled by the demons. Not only could it provide the demons with huge amounts of funds, but it could also become their biggest chess piece buried on the human side."

Luo Yiyi thought about it carefully.

"But Sun Mingyuan didn't become a demon. Could it be that he was cooperating with the demons in the guise of a human? What kind of benefits did the demons give him to make him betray Xuannv Sect?"

"I'm afraid the problem is not with Sun Mingyuan, but with Sun Siyun."

"Sun Siyun?"

Seeing that Luo Yiyi was becoming more and more confused, Qi Gui simply told her all his guesses.

"As Master said, Sun Siyun should be a half-demon. Although Sun Mingyuan can protect her identity, this is not a long-term solution. I think he should have the idea of ​​making Sun Siyun the new Saint of the Demon Clan."

"The new demon saint?"

"There are roughly three requirements for the succession of the Demon Saint: one is that the blood of the Demon is pure; two is that the girl must be pure; three is that she must gain the support of more than half of the seven great demon lords."

"But Sun Siyun is a mixed-blood, and can't even meet the first requirement. There is no way she can become a saint, right?"

"What if there is a way to replace blood with pure blood?"

Luo Yiyi sat up suddenly: "Replace blood? Does it mean to exchange blood? How to exchange? With whom?"

Qi Gui naturally reached out to help her tidy up her messy hair.

"The demons have a secret technique to replace their bloodline, and it mainly depends on a demon who can provide pure bloodline. I don't know who that person is yet, but I can be sure that Sun Mingyuan has found the best candidate."

The large and warm fingertips gently slid across the tip of her ear, causing Luo Yiyi to shrink involuntarily and feel a slight itch.

She reached out and slapped Qi Gui's hand away, rubbed her already red ears vigorously, and quickly asked another question to divert his attention.

"It's not easy to get the support of more than half of the seven great demon lords, right? Now the demon lords in the demon world are each in their own corner, and they don't like each other, not to mention the saint who is independent of them."

After being beaten, Qi Gui withdrew his hands, hid them behind his back, and rubbed his fingertips slowly.

"No matter how lonely the Saint Maiden's lineage is, it still represents the lineage of the Ancient Demon Lord. There are many demons among them who are loyal to the Ancient Demon Lord. This part of the power not only restrains other Demon Lords, but also makes all Demon Lords covet it. Not only the Demon Lord, I'm afraid everyone wants to take it for themselves."

"Oh? Does Guigui also want to take this power for himself?"

Faced with Luo Yiyi's serious questions, Qi Gui also answered seriously.

"Yes, if possible, I would naturally want that power. But if Master doesn't like it, I won't touch it."

Luo Yiyi nodded, connecting all the previous clues together, and the answer became clear.

"Qike wants to stop Sun Siyun from becoming the Saint of the Demon Clan, but you want this power, so you deliberately brought Si Yu to Luoyang City, in order to let her replace Sun Siyun as the Saint of the Demon Clan. If Si Yu is devoted to you at that time, the power of the Ancient Demon Lord she represents will naturally belong to you, and since it involves the daughter of her lover, Qike will have no objection to this."

Luo Yiyi stared into Qi Gui's eyes as she spoke, but the other party's expression did not change at all, making it impossible to tell whether what she said was correct.

But obviously she didn't need to worry, Qi Gui nodded in acknowledgment as a matter of course.

"Master can't hide my affairs from you. This is indeed my plan."

Luo Yiyi rolled her eyes: "You never thought of hiding it from me, right?"

Qi Gui just smiled without saying anything. Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared and he turned his head to look towards the door with a frown.

Luo Yiyi looked in that direction, and after a while she also heard a knock on the door.

"Master, I will go open the door."

"and many more!"

Luo Yiyi grabbed Qi Gui's hand and winked at the two little ones who had been huddled beside them and listened to their conversation quietly.

After receiving the signal, Luo Rourou stood up, shook her feathers, patted Luo Cheese on the back, and ran towards the door, with Luo Cheese following hurriedly behind.

After the two little ones came over with their visiting guests, Qi Gui's expression became gloomy.
