Chapter 810: He Does It All for the People

The silver-haired girl approached with light steps, and Ruo’er, wearing a frown and pouting her lips a bit angrily, felt a sense of injustice for her young master and held a negative view of the Xuanyun Sect.

“It seems you don’t welcome me coming over.”

Qin Shili said coldly as she walked to Ruo’er’s side.

“I don’t.”

Ruo’er said this on the surface, but her tone betrayed her—she was clearly not welcoming.

However, the more she insisted on this, the more Qin Shili wanted to get closer to her.

So, Ruo’er turned her back to her.

“You’re thinking about Lin Nuo, feeling that the Xuanyun Sect misunderstands him, and you hate the Xuanyun Sect.”

“I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Ruo’er quickly retorted, refusing to admit it.

“Is that so? Your tone and actions have already given you away. But it’s normal for you to think that way. After all, you are his maid, and you’re not even cultivating within the Xuanyun Sect.”

“Are you planning to speak ill of me? It’s fine, my young master can’t return to the Xuanyun Sect anymore, so you can say whatever you want about me.”

Ruo’er was giving up, not caring how the Xuanyun Sect viewed her; if they slandered her young master, then they were definitely not a good sect.

“You underestimate me too much. I can’t be bothered to speak ill of you; there’s nothing worth mentioning about you.”

Qin Shili replied coldly, looking down at Ruo’er with an extremely indifferent gaze.

Being scrutinized by Qin Shili made Ruo’er feel a bit uncomfortable.

As a young girl, it was tough for her to handle this, but could she just walk away? Could she back down? Absolutely not.

Ruo’er stayed put and tried to be strong in front of the Xuanyun Sect members.

Two silver-haired girls stood together, and to passersby, the scene appeared quite beautiful, with some even fantasizing about an even more aesthetically pleasing moment of them getting close.

Of course, it was difficult for the two of them to get close; with Qin Shili’s cold personality, she basically would never get affectionate with other girls.

“Hmph, you underestimate me! I’ve already stepped onto the path of immortality; who knows what the future holds? Maybe I’ll be even stronger than you.”

“Is that so? So you’re strong, and then what? To save the people?”

“Of course, it’s to assist my young master! He’s so strong, becoming stronger is just to help him.”

“How can someone like you, who cultivates in the immortal way, assist him?”

“Why can’t I? He’s a great hero who saves the people and is beloved by everyone. Deep down, you’re looking down on me.”

“You can’t even accept that he’s touched the demonic path; how can you talk about assisting him?”

Qin Shili coldly rebutted, which infuriated Ruo’er, making her jump up in anger.

“That’s impossible! Why should I accept that? How could my young master touch the demonic way? He’s a great hero!”

“Hah, you’re quite naive. Just because someone is in the light doesn’t mean they’re a hero. Right now, you likely think anyone who touches the demonic way is a villain who brings disaster to the world, am I right?”

“Isn’t it like that?”

Ruo’er countered, having spent so long in Zifeng Valley and being brainwashed daily by immortals, hearing all about opposing the demonic way.

“Don Xian and other immortals have said that demon practitioners are the source of calamity for the world; cultivating demonic ways is to harm the people. They say my young master is related to the demonic path—that’s just slandering him.”

“Hah.”

Qin Shili smirked disdainfully; after all, she knew about Lin Nuo’s demonic practices. And Lin Nuo led by example, dwelling in the abyss, yet never forgetting the blue sky above.

All of this was for the peace of the world.

“You’d better stay in Zifeng Valley and cultivate properly. Keep listening to those immortal absolute doctrines. I still have a piece of advice: you’d better be mentally prepared. If Lin Nuo really is a demon practitioner, I fear you won’t be able to handle it. After all, you’ll feel that demon practitioners bring disaster to the world and that they are villains. You’ve never stopped to think—do demon practitioners really only bring calamity?”

Qin Shili’s words hinted at something unsaid, letting this little pudding think for herself.

At the same time, it was a way for her to show off; she understood Lin Nuo better than this little pudding.

Just a maid, who followed him for a long time—how could she truly understand him?

“Mm…”

Ruo’er seemed to catch on to something and wasn’t as impulsive as before.

In terms of experience, she definitely was much less than Qin Shili. In reality, she was also growing, learning, and expanding her own knowledge.

Though she didn’t quite like Qin Shili’s personality, she did respect her thinking ability and insight.

After all, her young master once said that, in the Xuanyun Sect, when it came to intelligence and critical thinking, Qin Shili was the best.

“You… do you know something? Please tell me! I’ve been in Zifeng Valley recently and don’t know anything about my young master…”

Ruo’er’s attitude shifted as she turned to plead with Qin Shili.

“For matters like this, you need to understand on your own. That’s all I will say. However, no matter what, you need to believe in Lin Nuo—not that he won’t touch the demonic path, but that he will always think of the world.”

Qin Shili dropped that profoundly meaningful sentence and then turned to leave.

This was her way of revealing some information to Ruo’er without her knowing.

She wouldn’t just abandon Ruo’er. With Lin Nuo gone, she would step into his role and guide Ruo’er.

“Mm…”

Ruo’er seemed to understand a bit more, inwardly questioning herself, realizing she still had much to learn from Qin Shili.

…

In the small house by the mountains, Lin Nuo and Liu Shuqin lay together on the same bed.

They were truly like a couple, already sleeping together. Of course, sharing a bed naturally included tender intimacy.

Even though Liu Shuqin usually was quite reserved and graceful, once alone with Lin Nuo, her inner desires would spill out, enjoying Lin Nuo’s caresses.

It was a simple life; they lived together, made small meals, and their little days were quite cozy.

“My husband, how about we hide away here and live together until we grow old and die?”

Leaning against Lin Nuo’s embrace, Liu Shuqin suddenly spoke those words. She loved the serene life here, with no noise, no worries—only the sweetness of the two of them.

But Lin Nuo still rejected her.

“Not possible.”

Lin Nuo said seriously,

“If I chose to hide away, I would have left the Xuanyun Sect long ago.”

“Then, are you really going to continue on the same path as this life?”

“Things have changed too much; it can’t be considered that path anymore. However, the direction remains the same. You are now a demon practitioner. Even if you’re reluctant to accept it, you must.”

“I’ve already accepted it. I’ve become yours, so how can I not accept it? In the end, I will be with you.”

“The demon beasts escaping from the Demon Abyss Valley will have a part under your leadership. If you’re going to be with me, at the very least, you must have the ability to manage them. Also, the demon practitioners from the Refining Demon Sect will follow you as well. You are a demon practitioner, no need to reason with them; kill when you must. You’ll gradually adapt to this life.”

“Mm… okay.”

Liu Shuqin nodded, continuing to lean against Lin Nuo’s chest.
