Misha frowned at the words.
Sang Qingxiao noticed his hesitation and reassured him, "Before I kill any demons, I will look through their memories. I only kill the bad ones."
Thinking of his own experiences, Misha decided to trust her for now.
Sang Qingxiao glanced at him and continued, "Last year, I happened to catch a Great Demon that had escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower, so I took a trip to Pujisi."
Xuan Yin woke up.
Misha suddenly looked at Sang Qingxiao, his lips twitching as if he wanted to ask something but hesitated, not sure if he wanted to hear the answer.
"In your memories, the Xuan Yin I saw was a lively and outgoing Little Monk. But the Xuan Yin I saw last year was expressionless and silent, burying everything deep within."
The influence of the Pure Heart Lotus on him was significant. In just three years since waking up, he had raised his strength to Celestial Master Level Eight. Wisdom Supreme was overjoyed and directed most of the training resources from the Demon Subduing Institute towards Xuan Yin. Xuan Yin never refused but also never showed Wisdom Supreme any gratitude.
In recent years, Pujisi had been anything but quiet. Pujiyuan and the Demon Subduing Institute had been drifting apart due to issues related to you and Master Wulian. More accurately, there were already cracks in their daily task distribution because of you and Wulian's matters, which eventually erupted into conflict. If it weren't for the higher-ups suppressing it, I would have surely witnessed some amusing fights in Pujisi last year.
Internally, Pujiyuan was still manageable; after all, their anger was directed outward. However, the Demon Subduing Institute caused quite a stir due to the skewed allocation of training resources. Your junior brother has quite a temper; I wonder if he’s been taking it out on you as well. In any case, he fights fiercely and has left people bedridden for months.
They had punished him in the temple for his actions, yet he remained indifferent.
Sang Qingxiao shared many stories about Pujisi with Misha. After listening for a while in silence, Misha suddenly asked, "Are there any demons in this house that like to spy?"
Sang Qingxiao was momentarily taken aback by the question. After a moment's thought, she burst into laughter. Just as she was about to respond, several branches leaped from the roof and struck Misha's back. "Spy? Who are you calling a spy? I'm just examining your bloodline!"
Misha quickly dodged. "When can’t you look at my bloodline? If you want to see it, just say so! Why sneak a peek while I'm bathing?"
"I'll look if I want! I'm an elder looking at a junior; what's wrong with that? Don't be so pretentious! Besides, I'm doing this for your own good."
After enough laughter, Sang Qingxiao intervened to stop their bickering. She introduced Misha to Old Vine, who was an ancient wisteria that had lived for an incredibly long time—almost like an ancestor—and cherished the younger generation of demons. "When he says he's looking at your bloodline, he means it; it's just that his methods can easily lead to misunderstandings. He's old; cut him some slack."
"Honestly, my age could make me your ancestor's ancestor."
Seeing Old Vine about to continue rambling, Sang Qingxiao quickly interrupted him. "What is it about Misha's bloodline that makes you so curious?"
Old Vine transformed into a humanoid shape made of vines and sat cross-legged on Misha's small stool while Mountain Spirits respectfully brought over a bucket of fruit tea mixed with ice shards.
Misha observed from the side and noticed that the Mountain Spirits showed Old Vine respect that was no less than what they showed Sang Qingxiao. Moreover, he could clearly sense that Old Vine's bloodline wasn't particularly strong; transforming into human form was difficult for him. Yet why did he exude such an intimidating aura?
Old Vine paid no mind to Misha's scrutiny and took several hearty sips of fruit tea before saying, "The Qilin is an Auspicious Beast. It's unclear which one or how many left their bloodlines in the mortal realm over generations; more and more people with Qilin Bloodline have emerged."
Many years ago, possessing Qilin Bloodline was highly respected among both humans and demons alike since it could be compared to dragons and phoenixes as an Auspicious Beast.
