Under the moonlight, the graceful woman was wearing a pink and purple dress, her face was as pure as a fairy, as charming as a demon, and her panic-stricken expression made her look as lovable as a frightened deer.

When the young Taoist saw Jiang Lingyue's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes darkened. How dare this hateful evil sect disturb his Taoist heart?

"Tell me, which evil sect's remnant are you from?" He used a little more force on his hand that was pinching her neck.

Jiang Lingyue's brain was working fast at this time. He had caught her and forced her to ask which evil sect she belonged to. It seemed that he was not an evil sect. So there must be something hidden in his fight with the sect trialist just now. In this case, everything was a misunderstanding. If she explained it clearly, she would be saved.

"Brother Taoist, no, sir." Jiang Lingyue said quickly, "I am really not from an evil sect. I am a trial participant of the Fengwu Academy, the ninth princess of the Tianfeng Kingdom, Jiang Lingyue."

Hearing this, the Taoist boy's eyes flashed with surprise, and he felt a little relieved, but he still didn't show it on his face, "You dare to quibble when you are about to die!"

"I just heard the sound of fighting, so I came here to investigate. I was scared to death when I saw the internal fighting among the trial participants of the school, and you are so powerful."

The Taoist boy's expression relaxed a little, "How do you prove that you are telling the truth?"

"In my storage ring, there is a name card for the selected candidates of the school trial, as well as a waist badge of the Ninth Princess's Mansion." Jiang Lingyue said carefully, "I will take it out right away, don't mess around yet."

With the other party's tacit approval, Jiang Lingyue took out the item to prove her identity. After the Taoist boy took it and checked it, he returned the item to her, but he did not let go of the hand that was pinching her neck.

"I believe you are not an evil sect." The Taoist young man raised his lips slightly, "but we need to investigate further."

"What do you mean?"

Under Jiang Lingyue's doubtful eyes, the Taoist boy stretched out his left hand and touched her forehead with his index finger. Then, a stream of pure spiritual power was injected into her mind and wandered around her spiritual platform. Although the spiritual power did not attack her, it tightly wrapped around her consciousness, with a spying and scrutiny that made it impossible for anyone to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual power faded away, and she heard the other party's voice, "I'm not poisoned, nor am I being controlled by anyone."

Then, she heard the system prompt that the Taoist boy's favorability towards her increased by +5.

Jiang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her life should be saved. She almost thought that she would have to use up the chance of rebirth that was rewarded with 100 points of Gu Yuan's favorability.

She swallowed and spoke timidly, "Ahem, can you please stop pinching my neck? I'm scared."

The Taoist boy slowly loosened his hands. Jiang Lingyue rubbed her red neck. This man was really strong.

"Scared? I don't see that." The young Taoist said in a joking tone.

Jiang Lingyue looked at him with lingering fear, "Do you want me to cry in front of you?"

As he said this, he pretended to squeeze out two tears.

Seeing this, the Taoist boy turned his head away with a hint of disgust, "Okay, stop crying."

"Wow, you hurt me." Jiang Lingyue cried even harder, secretly observing his reaction while crying.

Sure enough, the Taoist boy looked annoyed, "I was wrong, it's okay."

"No, I feel so wronged that I was wronged and had my neck choked for no reason. I have never felt so wronged since I was a child."

Jiang Lingyue endured it calmly for a while, but when she took a step back, she became angrier and angrier. She didn't think of ways to retaliate, and she always felt unbalanced.

"Then what do you want? Let you pinch me back to vent your anger?" the young Taoist asked casually.

"Really? Are you willing to let me pinch you back?" Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue's eyes flashed with excitement, and she couldn't help but be eager to try, "Are you serious?"

The Taoist boy was stunned by the question. Anyone could tell that he was joking, but she actually took it seriously. But looking at her sparkling eyes, he couldn't say no for a moment.

"You agree by not saying anything, right?" Jiang Lingyue immediately burst into laughter, "Don't worry, I won't be too forceful."

So, under the astonished gaze of the Taoist boy, Jiang Lingyue took revenge on the spot, raised her hand and strangled his throat without hesitation.

The Taoist boy was stunned. This woman actually dared to attack him! Wasn't she afraid that he would fight back?

He warned in a deep voice: "It's not too late to stop now."

Jiang Lingyue didn't care about him. She slowly increased her strength with evil intentions, wanting to see him in pain and frustration.

But he didn't say anything. Could it be that her strength was insignificant to him? In doubt, she looked up at the mysterious eyes, but saw him staring at her with his eyes downcast, with a hint of lust and danger in them.

Jiang Lingyue was startled, and fearing that she might go too far, she quickly withdrew her hand, but someone grabbed her wrist midway.

His eyes were dark and unclear, and he looked down at her, "Why don't you pinch me anymore? Are you calm now?"

"Calm down, calm down, calm down." Jiang Lingyue tried to pull back her wrist that he was holding, but it didn't move at all.

"If you still have grievances, you can continue." His voice was hoarse, and he guided her hand to touch his neck, "I promise not to resist."

"No, thanks." Jiang Lingyue's cheeks turned red. This posture seemed too ambiguous.

She thought to herself, you are a 400-year-old boss, and you call me a 40-year-old rookie sister, don't you have any psychological barriers? This expression changes faster than turning a page. Hey, she didn't accidentally trigger some strange XP from the other party!

The Taoist boy didn't say anything, just looked at her panicked appearance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The air was suddenly quiet, as if they could hear each other's heartbeat and breathing.

At this time, Jiang Lingyue received a system prompt again.

[The Taoist boy's favorability towards the host increases by +5, and the current favorability is 10. ]

She looked up at him in surprise. Is this guy okay? Was he strangled?

She coughed lightly to break the awkward atmosphere, "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet, fellow Taoist?"

"Fang Chengyu." The young Taoist answered concisely and then let go of her hand.

"It turns out to be Brother Fang. Nice to meet you."

Jiang Lingyue felt as if she had been pardoned, and immediately withdrew her hand and let it hang by her side. But in her heart, she was thinking, I seem to have heard this name somewhere before.

Realizing that the woman in front of him seemed to be afraid of him, Fang Chengyu forced himself to show a harmless smile, "Sister, are you going to participate in the trial alone? Do you want to come with me?"

Seeing his smile, Jiang Lingyue shuddered and suddenly felt a little creepy. What kind of smile is this, the soul-catching messenger, Hell Shura? It's too hellish! His smile is very beautiful, don't smile next time!

"I appreciate your kindness. I have companions who are resting now." Jiang Lingyue waved her hand. "It's getting late. I should go back."

"Really?" Fang Chengyu's eyes flashed with disappointment, "It's not safe at night, I'll take you there!"

"It's okay, I can do it alone."

Jiang Lingyue looked at the distance and saw several sect trial-takers who were immobilized. They had talismans stuck on their faces and were standing upright in the wilderness, looking very strange.

"What's their situation? How are you going to deal with it?"

Fang Chengyi's face darkened. "The evil sect is causing trouble. They are poisoned and controlled."

"Then can they still be saved?" Jiang Lingyue asked worriedly.

"The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it." Fang Chengyu looked at the talisman paper in his hand, thoughtfully.

Jiang Lingyue seemed to understand his idea, "Do you want to find the person who cast the poison?"

Fang Chengyu nodded, "I have already planted a tracking spell on them. As long as that demon casts a spell again, I can find him."

"That's good. I hope you can catch that monster as soon as possible." Jiang Lingyue said.

At this moment, several men and women also dressed in Taoist costumes suddenly came from a distance. When they came closer, they respectfully saluted Fang Chengyu.

The tall and thin woman in the lead asked, "Master uncle, we are late. Have you caught the thief?"

Seeing several people wearing the same Taoist robes, Jiang Lingyue suddenly remembered that this was the sect uniform of the Qing Xuanzong.

They actually called Fang Chengyu their great-uncle master. Combined with his strange eyes, Jiang Lingyue suddenly realized that she knew his identity!
