The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Su Qi had just tried to connect the dots in his mind and discovered that there was something fishy about the matter.

The demon and monster races took the initiative to initiate cultural exchanges because of Mu Xinglan, this immortal herb.

The question then arises: Mu Xinglan was imprisoned for nearly twenty years without revealing her aura, yet when Ye Feng came to Zhongzhou, her aura was leaked, alerting the demon race.

Is this just a coincidence?

And how did the demons find out about this?

The demons probably don't even know about the existence of this immortal herb, Mu Xinglan, so why would they suddenly get involved?

The demon race took the initiative to request an alliance?

That's impossible. With the demon race's own power, rescuing people from the Li clan would not be difficult.

Even if the demon race wanted to cooperate with the demon race, they couldn't possibly expose Mu Xinglan.

It's a very simple principle: would you let people know that your family heirloom is the Imperial Seal of the State?

Holding such a precious treasure in one's hands, one would not even trust one's own brothers, let alone allies.

If Su Qi were a demon, he would fabricate a reason to cooperate with the demons, then use the demons as targets, while secretly rescuing Mu Xinglan while the demons distracted them.

So here's the question: who leaked Mu Xinglan's information?

As I said before, the Li family kept it hidden for nearly twenty years without being exposed, but it just so happens to be exposed at this time, which is too much of a coincidence.

If a mysterious organization was involved, then it would make sense.

The mysterious organization wanted to muddy the waters of Zhongzhou, using Ye Feng to fish in troubled waters, and also wanted Ye Feng to win over Ye Yue.

Ye Yue's tragic fate was likely orchestrated by this organization behind the scenes.

According to the original plot, Ye Yue was supposed to come with Ye Feng to resolve the incident in the Eastern Region.

Now, behind Xiao Yichen's descent into madness, there is the shadow of a mysterious organization.

Does this mean they are deliberately creating opportunities to help Ye Feng win over Ye Yue?

Ye Feng, who is absorbing the Soul Pearl, is gradually transforming into the Heavenly Emperor, a fact that Ye Feng himself probably doesn't even realize.

The Celestial Emperor and the dark creatures are mortal enemies, each destined for genocide.

The pure-blooded demon race is the descendant of dark creatures.

If the Heavenly Emperor is resurrected, then it's only a matter of time before he clashes with the demon race.

The mysterious organization's help in winning over Ye Yue is tantamount to turning the Demon Saintess against her.

So, when Ye Feng, who has completely transformed into the Heavenly Emperor, opposes the Demon Clan in the future, the role of Ye Yue will be self-evident.

Su Qi even boldly speculated that Mo Ling Su and Ruo Bing Li played similar roles in the original story.

These two...

One is the young patriarch of the Ye clan. Because he has awakened the Nirvana Undying Blood, his status is even higher than that of the patriarch. He will definitely enter the core of power of the three holy lands in the future.

One is the young master of the White Fox Demon Clan, a beast-demon clan from the Northern Region, and a future core figure of the demon race. Moreover, the descendants of those dark creatures within the demon race are all of the beast-demon lineage.

The tree spirits are mostly plant-based creatures, not dark creatures that eat raw meat and humans.

Mu Xinglan's intelligence report mentioned that Mo Lingsu died in the end to help Ye Feng defeat the Beast Demon Clan.

This precisely confirms Su Qi's guess.

All of the above led Su Qi to a bold conclusion.

It's not just Ye Feng and the people around him; all the female protagonists and their companions are, to some extent, having their fates manipulated by that mysterious organization.

Compared to Ye Feng, who is manipulated at all times, the female protagonist may be a little luckier, as they are only manipulated at certain points in their lives.

For example, Ruo Bingli and her sister were forced into a marriage, and Ruo Bingli's older sister died, which led her to leave the Ye Clan and come to the Eastern Region.

If she hadn't come to the Eastern Region, how would she have met Ye Feng and taken him as her disciple?

For example, Yue Siyi's childhood was tragic. If she hadn't been tragic, how could Ye Feng have become her light?

Because the mysterious organization's control over the female lead wasn't as tight as Ye Feng's, Su Qi had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

If that's the case, then the question arises.

Why don't the mysterious organization correct the female protagonist's deviation from her development plan in time?

Su Qi guessed that he had probably put pressure on the mysterious organization.

Just as he didn't understand the mysterious organization, the other party didn't understand him either.

The mysterious organization noticed that all the female protagonists had deviated from their plans, so they might mistakenly believe that Su Qi, who disrupted their plans, was also backed by a powerful force.

They mistakenly believed that a powerful, equally hidden force had uncovered their plans and was sabotaging them!

Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen complications, they decided to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, prioritizing the resurrection of the Heavenly Emperor before dealing with the rest.

To put it simply, Ye Feng is the main character, while the female lead is just a side character.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Ye Yue's voice interrupted Su Qi's thoughts.

Su Qi raised his head, his eyes flashing.

"I'm wondering if someone is behind this? It's obvious that the other party did it on purpose. They used their daughter's information to lure Xiao Yichen into the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield. They couldn't have just done nothing, could they?"

"By the time you arrived, they had already sent Xiao Yichen out, which means that the person behind it had already done what they wanted to do, and they weren't afraid of you finding out. The fact that they dared to do this means they were certain that you, as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, wouldn't be able to find anything out."

"Therefore, you don't need to feel guilty about this. Why don't you think about what to do first?"

Hearing Su Qi's thoughtful comfort, Ye Yue felt a warm feeling flow through her heart, but at the same time, a question arose in her mind.

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"Aren't you curious? As the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, don't you think it's a problem that I care so much about Xiao Yichen?"

"What reason do I have to doubt why a daughter cares about her father?" Su Qi shrugged.

Seeing his knowing expression, Ye Yue was stunned.

"how do you know?"

As she asked the questions, she also became secretly on guard.

She had never mentioned this to anyone, but Su Qi knew about it, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

"Is it that hard to guess? You care so much about Xiao Yichen, could it be that you like him?" Su Qi rolled her eyes, then confidently put her hands on her hips.

"The person you like is me! Knowing this, the conclusion that you like Xiao Yichen is invalid. So what reason do you have to care about someone so much?"

There's only one answer: you and he are family!

"As far as I know, Xiao Yichen's only family members, besides his wife, are his daughter."

"But before that, I only had a suspicion. It was something you said that made me confirm my guess!"

Su Qi tilted her proud little face up, a smug smile curving her lips.

"What did you say?" Ye Yue recalled what she had said earlier, trying to remember where she had given herself away.

"You previously said with such certainty that the information about Xiao Yichen's daughter being in the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield was false."

"Then here's the question: how can you, a demon saintess, be so certain that this is false information? What if his daughter really is on the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield?"

Su Qi countered with a question.

Ye Yue suddenly realized.

On the surface, he had no connection with Xiao Yichen, yet he was certain that it was false information.

Even Xiao Yichen himself can't be sure if the information is true or false, so what makes you think you can?

There's only one answer left: you're Xiao Yichen's daughter, which is why you could tell the information was fake as soon as you heard it.

Only you know that you have never been to the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield.
