The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

"What? Me?" Lu Zhaozhao felt it was a bit outrageous. What could be the problem in the Demon Clan that the eight major clans could not solve, so they could only seek help from an unknown young man from the Nüba Clan.

"Of course." Cheng Sangjie took over the conversation, staring at Lu Zhaozhao, as if wanting to take in all the changes in her expression.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at him calmly and said, "Oh? Brother Chengsang, what you said really makes me curious."

Cheng Sangjie remained silent for a long time, as if he didn't know how to start, and finally turned his gaze to Changyu Lan Mountain.

This person is not like Cheng Sangjie, who would turn his words over in his mind a hundred or eighty times before trying to make them perfect.

Changyu Lanshan stepped forward and said to Lu Zhaozhao bluntly: "We need you to lead the demon king away."

"Demon King? Who is he?" Lu Zhaozhao was a little puzzled as to why another unfamiliar person appeared.

"Don't play dumb when you know the truth! I saw it all that day!" Changyu Lanshan was a little anxious when she denied him. "You went into the city with him, and he helped you during our competition. I can tell at a glance that they have a special relationship."

He said this, and Lu Zhaozhao finally remembered. The only person who had entered the city with him could be Wen Sheng. But how could Wen Sheng be the demon king? Lu Zhaozhao didn't understand.

Cheng Sangjie saw her confusion and gave her an excuse: "Miss Guannan has been away from the world for a long time, so she may not be familiar with these things. The demon world is extremely lively nowadays."

"That's right!" Jie Yi of the Jimeng tribe added angrily, "The Demon Lord wanted to reorganize the Demonic Path, but the former Demon King disagreed, so he was killed with a single sword. Then, a nearby monster took over the throne and established new standards for dividing the demon and demon tribes. Now, even the eight major tribes are being split from the Demon Clan to the Demon Clan."

"What are the criteria for classification?" Lu Zhaozhao was a little curious.

Xie Yi said unhappily, "The physical form is a demon, and the intangible form is a devil. The eight major tribes all have animal bodies and are considered demons, but you, the Nüba tribe, are not classified and are considered devils."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded in understanding. She actually thought this division was a good one, clear and concise, but for the sake of her life and property, she held back and didn't say it out loud.

Nan Rongrui said uneasily, "Actually, this isn't a big deal. We don't care whether it's a demon or a monster. He's just given the new demon king the power to lead the demon tribe without setting up a private army. Not only do the eight tribes have a new boss for no reason, but they're also abolishing the army they've invested so much in over the years. Isn't this just a plan to gradually erode the eight tribes?"

What she said was so horrifying that everyone around her showed a hint of fear after hearing it. Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao also lowered his head and thought about the whole thing.

Seeing her lower her head, Nan Rongrui assumed she was persuaded by his words. Leveraging their previous friendship, he stepped forward, shook her hand, and said, "We won't make it difficult for you. Simply distract the demon king while we take action. If you fail, feign ignorance and no one will suspect you."

Her words were both logical and emotional, and she seemed to be genuinely putting herself in the other person's shoes. However, Lu Zhaozhao knew that if she failed, no one present would let her escape alone.

Lu Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Fortunately, she is not the real Guannan, nor is she a member of the Nüba tribe. If something unexpected happens, she can still escape by changing her identity. Even if they track down the Nüba tribe, they will not find any trace.

I thought so in my heart, but I still had to leave room for expression.

Lu Zhaozhao started to bargain: "It's not impossible for me to help you, but you also said that the Demon King is close to the Demon Lord. I'm just an acquaintance with him, so it's even more difficult to get close to him and build a good relationship with him."

She looked up at Cheng Sangjie, who understood her meaning and continued, "Don't worry, this selection of personal guards is an opportunity. The eight major clans already control most of the Ming Palace's army. The Demon Lord certainly doesn't want to see members of the eight clans mixed into his personal guards. But if it weren't for the pressure from the powerful clans, his subordinates would inevitably refuse to obey. Therefore..."

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao, who understood the implication of his words and said, "Therefore, the Nüba Clan, with its prestige comparable to that of the Eight Clans, is the best candidate for this important position. Moreover, our clan has been isolated from worldly affairs for a long time and has no roots in the Ming Palace, making them the most suitable candidate."

Cheng Sangjie nodded and chuckled. Their eyes met, and they both read the intentions in each other's eyes, as well as the deeply buried ambitions.

After the incident, Lu Zhaozhao was sent out of the bamboo forest courtyard. In their words, she had to keep a distance from them, and it would be best if there was a stronger sense of tension between them, so that she could win the trust of the Demon Lord.

Lu Zhaozhao was walking in the winding path and thinking: This Demon Lord is really not a good demon. There are so many people who want to rebel, but the only one standing on his side is Wen Sheng, who looks indifferent.

Thinking of Wen Sheng, Lu Zhaozhao smiled bitterly in his heart again.

Little did she know that this seemingly innocent young man was actually the Demon King who was feared by everyone in the Western Region.

"Who cares? As long as I can go back, that's enough."

Lu Zhaozhao looked up and put out her hand to block the glaring light. She felt a knot in her heart, but then she changed her mind and remembered that they had just promised in the yard that they would do their best to help her win the election, and she felt relieved.

On the other side, there were still people in the bamboo courtyard who had not left.

"Do you really believe her?" Tu Shan Xixiang asked Cheng Sang Jie.

Cheng Sangjie shook his head, and Tu Shanxilian hurriedly said: "Then you still..."

"If you don't believe him, then this old fox certainly won't believe him." Nan Rongrui interrupted their conversation.

Tu Shanxi looked left at Nan Rongrui, then right at Cheng Sangjie, and said with some annoyance, "I know you two are smart, but if that's the case, please come and explain it to me."

Nan Rongrui glanced at Cheng Sangjie and said, "It's clear that Guannan didn't come here voluntarily, but was forced by us. According to Changyu Lanshan, he saw Guannan and Wen Sheng getting close outside the city that day. When he tried to attack Guannan, Wen Sheng fought back, which shows that their relationship is not ordinary."

"But she didn't even know that the person she was traveling with was the Demon King." Tushan Xixiang scratched his head, still not understanding.

"Who knows whether she knew it then? She definitely knows now." Nan Rongrui fiddled with his nails, somewhat nonchalantly. "Now she has two paths. One is to cooperate with us, which is naturally the best. As for the other, if she doesn't think highly of us, she'll probably tell Wen Sheng about our conversation today."

"What should we do? Wouldn't we alert the enemy?" Tushan Xixiang was horrified.

Nan Rongrui curled his lips, looked at him with disdain, raised his hand and knocked him on the head, saying, "You are stupid. The Demon Lord has always disliked us. Whether this happened or not, we are always against him. Even if Guannan said it, it doesn't matter. They have no evidence to stop us in Minggong City."

Tushan Xixiang touched his head and just looked at Nan Rongrui quietly, not daring to respond.

Nan Rongrui continued, "Honestly, even if she truly cooperates with us, we can't trust her 100%. After all, the alliance among the eight tribes isn't solid, let alone the Nüba tribe, whose interests haven't been harmed so far. Besides, if this were to succeed, how would the Western Territory be divided? It's such a huge pie that even the eight tribes can't afford to share it equally. If Nüba is added to the mix, I'm afraid the Western Territory will be in turmoil once again."

She seemed to have thought of something, shuddered, and turned to look at Cheng Sangjie: "Second brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Cheng Sangjie did not answer her question directly, but just said "I have my own arrangements", and then walked out of the yard, leaving Nan Rongrui and Tu Shanxi looking at each other in confusion.

After a long while, Tushan Xixiang asked uncertainly, "Is he angry?"

Nan Rongrui shook his head and just reminded him to keep his distance and not be discovered before leaving.

She, Cheng Sangjie, and Tushan Xixiang were cousins, in human terms. Because of this relationship, the three tribes frequently interacted privately. However, to maintain a check and balance among the eight tribes, their relationship was kept private. After the incident with the Diaogu tribe, this relationship became even more hidden.

In Nan Rongrui's eyes, Cheng Sangjie was incredibly intelligent, bordering on the divine. When the Diao Gu Tribe was in trouble, he was only ten years old, yet he managed to stabilize the situation and persuade the elders to take over the entire tribe. Over the years, he has led the Diao Gu Tribe to prosperity, making him the brother she respected the most. Meanwhile, Tushan Xixiang, despite displaying exceptional talent for cultivation since childhood, was childish in his interpersonal skills, a younger brother who needed her care.

Over the years, both the Western Territory and the Eight Clans have undergone considerable changes. The only thing that remains unchanged is the friendship between them. She originally thought that life like this could continue forever.

However, things don't always go as planned, and the situation in the western border is about to change.

She looked up. The light today was so dazzling. She hadn't seen such good weather for a long time. She didn't know if she would have the chance to see it again in the future.

But no matter what, she would definitely protect the three clans, she would definitely...
