200: The Most Sober Person in the World——He Han

He picked up the Mother Jade and asked, "Attendant Number Three, how are things on your side?"

Attendant Number Three's tearful voice came from the other end.

"Saint, the Profound Moon Sect's scoundrels wouldn't listen to me at all! Before I even spoke, they unleashed all sorts of Magic Treasures, mercilessly bombarding me!

If I hadn't run fast enough, I would have lost my life!"

"...Alright, I understand."

Su Xiaobai cut off the connection and then contacted Attendant Number Four.

"Attendant Number Four, what was the government's reaction?"

"Wuwuwu, Saint, the government officials didn't believe a word I said! They said I was fear-mongering and spreading rumors, then gave me twenty strikes of the rod and threw me out!"

"..."

Su Xiaobai sighed helplessly, rubbing his temples.

He had considered the possibility of running out of time and being unable to escape, so he made a backup plan:

Unite various forces to nip the Newborn Demon God in the bud before he was born!

But in reality, no one paid him any mind.

As a newcomer and a Saint of the Ghost Gate Demon Sect, he had no prestige in Qingzhou, and given the Ghost Gate Demon Sect's already bad reputation, no one was willing to believe him.

"When the Newborn Demon God is born, they will realize the seriousness of the situation, but by then, it will truly be irreversible."

Su Xiaobai's brows furrowed, regretting only that he ran too slowly; otherwise, he wouldn't bother caring about the lives of these people!

Just then, Attendant Number Five sent a connection request.

Su Xiaobai's heart lit up, and he immediately accepted, "Attendant Number Five, what is the Linglong Merchant Guild's stance?"

"Black Abyss! What exactly have you done to Young Miss? I'm warning you, if you dare to harm a single hair on Young Miss, this old man will dismantle your entire Ghost Gate Sect and then peel your bones to make a chair!"

A furious voice came from the other end, like a thunderclap, like a raging lion.

Even thousands of miles away, it still gave off a chilling sense of oppression.

Undoubtedly, the person on the other end was a top expert of the Void Soul Realm!

Su Xiaobai's eyes flickered; perhaps he could use Linger's connection to persuade this Void Soul Realm mighty figure to lobby the other factions.

"Linger is fine. I'm currently at the border of Qingzhou. If you want her, come here yourself."

"Linger? You scoundrel! How dare you use Young Miss's pet name..."

Su Xiaobai didn't wait for him to finish speaking and directly cut off the connection.

He turned to look at Shui Yanling. What he needed to think about now was how to appease Linger, otherwise, the Elder from the Linglong Merchant Guild might kill him to vent his anger as soon as he arrived.

Linglong Merchant Guild.

"You scoundrel!"

An old man roared furiously, his voice like thunder, shaking the entire building.

He threw the trembling Attendant Number Five aside like trash.

"Someone! Follow this old man to the border to rescue Young Miss!"

...

"Linger, I think we need to talk. You might have some misunderstandings about me."

Su Xiaobai sat cross-legged opposite Shui Yanling, his expression serious.

"Heh, what's there left for us to talk about? And is this how you talk to me?" Shui Yanling sneered.

She was tied up tightly to a rock by Su Xiaobai, unable to move.

And her mouth felt inexplicably swollen, as if something had been shoved in it for a long time, making her feel like gagging.

It was clear that Su Xiaobai had done some indescribable things to her while she was unconscious!

As soon as she thought of those humiliating scenes, her heart filled with hatred and shame, wishing she could make the man in front of her infertile.

"You were too emotional at the time, so I resorted to some extreme, unavoidable measures," Su Xiaobai said apologetically.

"Why do you hate me so much? Is it because of my identity as a demon?" He looked at Shui Yanling with a serious expression.

Shui Yanling replied defiantly, "Yes!"

Su Xiaobai's heart slightly relaxed. So it was only because of his identity as a demon.

He believed that as long as he explained clearly, she would be able to understand him.

"Actually, it's like this..."

He then told her about how he was taken over by the Devil Emperor Purple Demise.

However, he did not mention that his lifespan was running out.

"So that's how it is..." Shui Yanling's gaze lowered slightly, and a hint of heartache involuntarily flashed in her heart. So he had it so tough.

But this emotion was quickly suppressed by her.

Even so, it didn't change the fact that he cheated!

She sneered, "Heh, isn't this also Saint Su's Opportunity? How magnificent to rage for a beauty? I'm afraid Dongfang Qian Yue is already completely devoted to you now."

Su Xiaobai sighed and shook his head.

"If I hadn't been pushed to the brink, why would I want to use the power of Devil Emperor Purple Demise?

That Wang Shouyang was wantonly committing lewd acts within the Sect, running rampant by virtue of his Young Lord status, coveting Senior Sister's beauty, and threatening Senior Sister to be his concubine!"

Speaking of this, a hint of ferocity flashed in his gentle eyes.

He took a deep breath, stabilizing his emotions, and said:

"I still remember that rainy night, I asked her to leave with me.

But she said: If she left, what would Revered Master do? What would I do? What would the fellow disciples of Profound Moon Sect do?"

"I was speechless."

"That night, I sat up all night, and finally realized: to protect everyone, there needed to be one person to attract all hatred and bear all responsibility.

And that person could only be me."

He looked at Shui Yanling, his words devoid of much emotional fluctuation, as if merely stating facts.

He believed that this was something he should do.

He Han and Si Nan, who were spectating, couldn't help but shed tears.

He Han pounced into Su Xiaobai's arms like a cat, sobbing loudly.

"Wuwuwu! Master, I'm sorry, I've always misunderstood you. Turns out you've been silently bearing so much all by yourself!"

Su Xiaobai smiled and stroked her head.

So he was originally from the Profound Moon Sect... Si Nan's impression of Su Xiaobai changed. Before, she only thought he was a lecherous scoundrel, but she never expected him to have such a profound and affectionate side.

For the sake of a woman, abandoning a promising future, traveling far from home, and being hunted by the Xuan Yue Dao Sect, how many people could be like him?

Su Xiaobai's story successfully moved He Han and Si Nan.

But in Shui Yanling's heart, it was like a knife twisting.

One might ask, as a wife, hearing her husband risk his life for another woman, no matter how heroic the story, it was still the most hurtful blade.

"You didn't let her down, but what about me?!"

She bit her red lips tightly with her pearly teeth, tears welling in the corners of her eyes, looking exactly like a wife abandoned by her husband.

Now it was Su Xiaobai's turn to be confused, thinking: When did I let you down? We haven't reached that kind of relationship yet! Am I suffering from amnesia?

Just as he was about to speak, He Han quickly stood up and pushed him away like a little squirrel.

"Master, you go first. I'll persuade Third Miss!"

Third Miss is still stuck in the perspective of a wife. If Master were to clarify it himself, how heartbroken and socially dead would she be!

This bad guy role, let Master's most beloved disciple do it!

As the most clear-headed person in the world, she felt her petite body suddenly become grand!

Su Xiaobai rubbed the back of his head, but thinking that he had no better solution, he might as well let Little Han try.

"Oh! Alright."

Immediately, he was pushed by He Han to a place where Shui Yanling couldn't see him, and was strictly warned by his disciple, pinching his waist: No peeking!

After completing the preparations, He Han slowly walked towards Shui Yanling.

"Third Miss, I know this truth is cruel to you, but if I don't tell you, you'll be even more socially dead!" she murmured to herself.
