The black market in Xueshi Mountain is as lively as the black market in Bailing City.

However, the proportion of demon cultivators in the black market here is much higher than that in the Bailing City black market.

As usual, Pei Nianyi went to the street stalls first. If he was lucky, he might be able to find a bargain.

The few of them searched around and bought some good quality medicinal herbs, but they did not find the transformation pill.

Xue Jingsi took them straight to the Treasure Pavilion.

Treasure Pavilion is a chain store in the world of cultivation that can meet all the needs of customers.

"Prepare two more sets of robes and buy some of these talismans, so that you will have more means of escape in case of danger..." Xia Chen muttered while directing the shopkeeper to take out various daily magical instruments and robes, and each one was for three people. Of course, most of them were based on Pei Nianyi's needs.

Pei Nian was deeply moved when he heard this. He was indeed his little friend, who was thoughtful in everything.

However, the next moment, Xia Chen turned around and saw that Pei Nianyi didn't respond. He hesitated and said, "Why don't you come and pay?"

"Ok?"

He reminded Pei Nian: "Your cultivation is higher than ours now, and you said you would treat us today when you left."

Silence is the black market tonight.

Pei Nianyi tightly grasped his storage bag.

Meanwhile, Su Huaining, who was standing by, seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He immediately ran to the most expensive container and excitedly pointed at the shopkeeper: "This one, I don't want this one. Pack up all the others for me."

After a long while, Pei Nian walked out of the Treasure Pavilion with an expressionless face.

After spending a lot of money to buy countless things "in case they are useful", Pei Nianyi covered his aching heart and didn't want to speak.

Of course, I also bought a few of the most important transformation pills at the Treasure Pavilion.

Unable to stay any longer, Pei Nian forcibly pulled the two reluctant people out of the black market.

The next morning, Xue Jingsi sent a message saying that he had prepared wine and food at home, waiting for them to come as a farewell.

The three of them packed up and went there happily.

I came to Xue Jingsi's courtyard in the north of the city again. The door was ajar and there were faint sounds of quarreling in the courtyard.

The three of them refused to go any further and just lay outside the door, watching the movements in the yard quietly.

"Brother, I beg you! You gave me my life, I can give it back to you! But please let A'Luo and Ru'er go." Xue Jingsi's eyes trembled slightly, his body stiff but firm as he protected A'Luo and Xue Ru.

"Bastard! You're still thinking about this monster when you're about to die." The man opposite Xue Jingsi had a look of anger on his face, his eyes fixed on Xue Jingsi.

The three of them looked over and saw that the man was none other than Xue Jingheng, the eldest senior brother of Qionghua Sect.

Xue Jingsi lowered his head, clenched his fists and said, "Whether she is a demon or a human, she is my Taoist partner and the one I will spend my life with."

Panic and anger flashed in Ah Luo's eyes. She stepped forward, took Xue Jingsi's arm and said, "My husband, please don't abandon Ru'er and me. If we work together, we might not be able to defeat him."

"A Luo, stop talking nonsense. Have you forgotten what you promised me?" Xue Jingsi shouted.

"I..." A'Luo lowered her head, speechless.

Xue Jingsi earnestly warned A'Luo, "Even if I die, you must not harm my brother, and you must not harm any other human beings."

"Husband, why are you so stupid? You are loyal to the Qionghua Sect, but they are ruthless to you." The corners of Luo's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled with a hint of tears.

Xue Jingsi carefully straightened his clothes and appearance, took a step forward, knelt solemnly, and pleaded, "Brother, I stole the sect's most precious treasure, the Dragon Soul Grass, for my own selfish desires. I know my crime is unforgivable. I have no grudges for dying in your hands. I only ask that you, for the sake of our shared mother and brotherhood, spare my wife and daughter."

"Although Ah Luo is a demon, she has never killed anyone. Ru'er is young and innocent..."

Xue Jingsi was about to speak when Xue Jingheng interrupted him with a voice full of regret: "You useless thing! I don't know what kind of magic this witch used to bewitch you. You only believe her one-sided story."

Xue Jingheng's eyes dimmed: "If the monster didn't harm people, then how did my parents die?"

Xue Jingsi argued impatiently, "Brother, people are divided into good and evil, and so are demons. Besides, A'Luo is not the demon who killed my parents!"

"Since I was young, I have been taught by my master and you. I know that I must never fail to distinguish right from wrong. If A'Luo has an evil heart, I will definitely kill her with my own sword."

Xue Jingsi touched his forehead to the ground and said, "Stealing the immortal grass was my idea alone. It's all my fault."

Xue Jingheng laughed in anger, drew his sword cleanly and neatly, and pointed the tip of the sword at Xue Jingsi's chest.

"Stop!" Pei Nian shouted and pushed the door open and rushed in very recklessly.

The girl walked up to Xue Jingheng angrily and said, "I shouldn't have interfered in your Qionghua Sect's affairs!"

She exhaled softly and continued, "But he's your own brother! Is a human life less valuable than a magical herb? Do you have to let him die as an apology before you'll stop?"

"Even if the love between a human and a demon is not accepted by the world, as long as it does not hurt others, it is not a big evil." She was filled with anger, and for some reason, she felt a little aggrieved.

"Get up!" Xue Jingheng looked at the three people who suddenly broke in without any surprise. He put away his sword and said, "This matter ends here!"

"Brother?" Xue Jingsi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Jingheng.

"Stand up!" Xue Jingheng showed a helpless expression, "You have been stubborn since you were young. Even when scolded by your master, you refused to bow your head."

"Huh! Today I actually kneel down for a witch." Xue Jingheng laughed at himself.

He turned around, his back to Xue Jingsi, as if he didn't want to see him again: "You were so bold as to steal the sect's treasure, the Dragon Soul Grass, just so that Xue Ru, a half-demon, could survive."

"You stole the treasure and escaped from the sect. Master ordered me to capture you and bring you back to the sect."

"He ordered me that if you refuse to repent, you will be killed without mercy. If you feel remorse and know you are wrong, you must find another Dragon Soul Grass for the sect to atone for your sins. However, you will be expelled from the sect and will no longer be a disciple of Qionghua."

"Brother! I... I feel so ashamed of you and Master, and of the sect. I have failed to live up to your expectations of me. I will definitely return the Dragon Soul Grass to the sect." Xue Jingsi's voice gradually lowered, and his eyes became moist.

"Shut up! Don't call me big brother anymore. I don't have a younger brother like you. When we meet again in the future, just pretend you don't know me." Xue Jingheng's voice was cold.

"I believe you today. You'd better take your wife and daughter and hide your identities from now on. If this witch does anything evil in the future, I will kill you with my own hands."

Xue Jingsi said with shame: "I have let my parents and elder brother down in this life. Only by doing more good deeds can I live up to your teachings..."
