She had been falsely accused of stealing so many times that she couldn't count them on her hands, and subconsciously explaining herself had become instinctive.

"elder brother?"

The person on the other side repeated the name and murmured, "Zhongxian?"

Yu Xi covered her mouth.

How could this person be so amazing? He guessed it based on just one sentence from her?

When Yu Xi was surprised, the other party asked again, but this time the tone was obviously much gentler, as if the previous coldness and alienation had never existed:

"Indeed, with your abilities, you shouldn't be able to get close to my herb garden... Is there something you're using the Sound Bowl for?"

Judging from his tone, he doesn't sound like he has any grudge against Zhong Xian.

Yu Xi thought carefully for a few seconds, then asked, "Can I know who you are first?"

If she only lets the other party guess her information, she will be too passive.

The person on the other side seemed to smile. "I heard that you're quite vigilant despite your young age. I'm a spiritual herb grower. You can just call me Su. You should be in the library now, right? Zhong Xian isn't with you?"

How did you guess this?

Yu Xi stared at the Sound Gathering Bowl and carefully observed the surroundings, but she didn't find anything that could monitor her.

She didn't respond, and the man named "Su" didn't care. This time, he kindly added:

"Few demons use the Sound Gathering Bowl. If you want to contact Zhong Xian, you can't do it with the Sound Gathering Bowl. If you have any needs, it's best to speak up now. You are the Demon Lord's disciple, and I will provide you with assistance to the best of my ability."

Su's voice became more and more kind, and his originally cold tone gradually became warmer, sounding like a spring breeze to his ears.

Yu Xi looked down at her still dirty clothes and puffed up her cheeks in annoyance.

If she couldn't contact Zhong Xian, she would have to move out in this dirty state.

Only Luo Chunxi and her disciples can enter the library. She made the library dirty on her first visit, which would definitely make people angry.

Thinking of this, she finally tried to believe Su: "Really? Will you really help me? You won't lie to me and say you'll help me, then go and tell someone about me and let me be punished, right?"

Su was silent.

Yu Xi didn't know what he was thinking and could only wait for his answer anxiously.

Fortunately, Su was not silent for too long and quickly responded: "No, I swear."

Yu Xi's drooping ears finally perked up, and he said with energy, "Thank you! Then can you give me some talismans with cleansing effects? I'm very dirty now..."

The world of immortal cultivation has strict hierarchy, and the art of cleaning is only available to the inner disciples of the elders. Ordinary disciples can only clean up their own houses.

She was Mu Xiaoran's apprentice and was originally qualified to learn, but because she was half-demon, no one had ever taught her.

"Ok."

Before she could finish her explanation, Su responded. The next second, a silver light flashed on the surface of the sound-gathering bowl, and several talismans appeared on it.

"Is there anything else you need?" Su asked again in a very good-tempered manner.

"No more, thank you!"

Yu Xi thanked him quickly. With the cleaning talisman, the dirt around her quickly disappeared, and her sticky clothes quickly dried without a trace of stain.

"Su, you are such a good person!" Yu Xi said happily and gratefully.

Su must have really liked this way of praising. He laughed out loud, and his tone became even more cheerful. "If you need anything in the future, you can use the Sound Bowl to find me. I'm always bored alone, but——"

He stretched out his words slightly, his tone adding a hint of disgust: "You can't let Zhong Xian know about me. You have to keep our communication secret from outsiders."

Yu Xi was puzzled: "Why can't I let my brother know about you?"

"Because I'm not familiar with him, I don't like guys with ghostly auras who might contaminate my spiritual herbs... Well, I suddenly have something to do here, so we'll talk next time."
