Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter 103 Ink Kirin

Bai Ke's personality has changed drastically, and his usually taciturn father may not have noticed anything amiss.

However, Ning Fengyi, as the head of Tian Ce Palace, naturally had many thoughts on her mind and wanted to find out what was wrong with her junior brother's biological son.

In truth, Bai Ke was too naive. He was too influenced by those online novels and really thought that all those otherworldly beings were fools.

Little did they know that old people are shrewd and experienced. Ning Fengyi and the others had lived for hundreds of years. How could they be so easily fooled by him?

Even Bai Yan, who seemed unmoved by worldly affairs, had a hint of doubt in his heart. He knew his own son well, so how could he suddenly become so glib?

However, since Ning Fengyi had investigated earlier but found nothing, he didn't say anything, only thinking that he would investigate more carefully later.

The secret of how the main hall of Tian Ce Palace could distinguish the true from the false disciples was known only to the successive sect leaders, so Bai Yan was unaware that Ning Fengyi had come up with such an idea.

For thousands of years, Tian Ce Palace, Huangya Mountain, and Qianfo Temple have stood together as the three pillars, jointly dominating the Mountain and Sea Realm. They support each other, permeate each other, and rely on each other.

The triangle is indeed the most stable structure. Over the years, each of the three major sects has had the strength to overpower an entire generation.

But why are the three major sects still jointly in control to this day? This is similar to the Three Kingdoms period, where the strong were strong, but the weak could protect themselves by uniting.

In such a situation where neither side could gain the upper hand, for a considerable period of time, the three major sects liked to infiltrate each other's systems to spy on each other.

However, to the surprise of the leaders of Huangya Mountain and Qianfo Temple, their own spies in Tian Ce Palace often found it difficult to climb to higher levels and were basically limited to the level of stewards.

Even if one or two lucky individuals were appointed to positions such as elders, these were mostly honorary titles, and the information they received was often untrue and practically useless.

Of course, the same applies to Tian Ce Palace. Although all three sects have planted spies in each other's sects, each sect has its own means of identification, thus maintaining a general balance.

However, in general, the detection methods of Tian Ce Palace are the most unique. Whether it is possession or control, it is difficult to fool them with various methods.

Ning Fengyi was well aware that if he wanted, he could drag anyone who entered the hall into the hall's own cycle of reincarnation, at which point all demons and monsters would have to reveal themselves.

In the annual ten-year selection of disciples of Tian Ce Palace, the selected disciples, led by the outer sect elders, enter the hall to pay homage to the ancestors of Tian Ce Palace throughout the ages.

At that moment, the head of Tian Ce Palace, using the ancestral artifacts left behind in the main hall, clearly saw the newly initiated disciple.

If spies from other sects are discovered at that time, they should be dealt with accordingly.

Or it could be a perfectly normal cause of death, or it could serve as a bridge for transmitting messages in reverse; of course, whether it's true or false depends on the circumstances...

As for possession, that's even simpler. The main hall left by the ancestors of Tian Ce Palace has its own spirit. It will suppress any entity whose spirit and body are not the same, so there is no need for anyone else to control it.

Thanks to this grand hall, for thousands of years, the desolate cliffs and the Thousand Buddha Temple have never been able to truly infiltrate the upper echelons of the Tian Ce Palace's power, and over time, they have completely given up on this idea.

Now that Ning Fengyi has noticed something amiss with Bai Ke, and after several investigations she has found absolutely no clues, she brings him to the main hall for one last examination.

Bai Ke was unaware of Ning Fengyi's scheme; he simply followed the two of them as they flew towards the sect's main hall.

Just as the group was about to land, a huge creature suddenly leaped up from the bottom of the peak. It was as black as ink, with a lion's head, deer antlers, a deer's body, and dragon scales, which startled Bai Ke.

"Oh my god, you might not believe it, but I was scammed by a Qilin..." Bai Ke stared dumbfounded at the black Qilin that was rolling around in the air in front of the three of them.

"Roar...! Ning Fengyi! You're blocking my way again! I don't care, if you don't find me seventeen or eighteen beautiful beasts this time, I'm not finished with you!"

Mo Qilin continued to bump into porcelain as if no one else was around. Ning Fengyi smiled wryly and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, "Senior Mo... there are juniors present... please be more careful!"

The black Qilin shook its head indifferently, "Don't talk to me about anything else. Your Tian Ce Palace leaders are all swindlers and cheats."

"We agreed that I'd protect your sect, and you'd treat me to the best food and drink. Now look what's happened! You won't even find me a few beautiful beasts!"

While lying in front of the three people, the black Qilin rolled around in the void, secretly watching Ning Fengyi's reaction with its big eyes.

Bai Ke never expected that his sect's spirit beast would be such a rogue. Its scoundrelly nature... it really is... birds of a feather...

Bai Ke stared at Mo Qilin with the excitement of finding his tribe, while Ning Fengyi, with a bitter face, kept saying nice things to Mo Qilin and promising to do so next time...

Mo Qilin's eyes widened, and it suddenly flew towards Bai Ke. "Hey! Kid, I remember you. Back when your mother was holding you, I scared you once."

You remember, damn it, you actually peed on my face back then, huh! Now you've run into me, so hurry up and find me some beautiful beasts, or else…”

Bai Yan's eyes twitched incessantly. To be fair, this Mo Qilin was indeed quite responsible, but he was really unreliable, actually trying to take advantage of a junior...

Bai Ke reached out and tugged at Bai Yan, who was trying to stop Mo Qilin, and stepped forward to say to Mo Qilin:

"Junior Bai Ke greets Senior Mo. I truly do not recall the events of that time, but since Senior wishes to make offerings, as a junior, I naturally must be diligent and respectful..."

With a flick of its tail, the black Qilin turned and roared at Ning Fengyi, "Ning Fengyi, look at this, look at this person's awareness, it's not even as good as a junior!"

After saying that, he shamelessly smiled at Bai Ke and said, "Hmm...you're quite savvy, kid. I'm very satisfied."

"Here's what we'll do: you find me seventeen or eighteen beautiful beasts, and I'll guarantee you'll live a life of luxury in the Tian Ce Palace, with no one daring to mess with you. How about it?"

Bai Ke chuckled and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Haha, this... I can't possibly accept this... Senior, you're too kind... I truly feel unworthy of such praise..."

Mo Qilin glared, "You little brat, you're too talkative. What's there to be ashamed of? As long as you find me seventeen or eighteen beautiful beasts, I guarantee no one in Tian Ce Palace will dare to mess with you!"

Bai Ke feigned a troubled expression and said to Mo Qilin, "Senior... I understand what you mean, but..." He hesitated for a long time before finally whispering to Mo Qilin:

"With your imposing figure... even if I were to find you some beautiful beasts... they... they wouldn't be the right size..."
