Chapter 0061 – Are You Going to Kill Me Too – Absolute Returns

“This kid, he’s a fast learner, he even learned my mantra.” I shook my head helplessly and said with a smile.

A few moments later, Sect Leader Feng Tian walked into my study under the leadership of his disciples.

“Sect Master Ling, I’ve heard a lot about you.” I got up to greet him and said in a polite tone.

Ling Paisu wore a kind smile on her face and said in a cordial tone, “Mr. Li, after many years of not seeing you, you’ve grown so big, it’s true that the years have not spared you.”

“Sect Leader Ling’s elegance is still admirable.” I said with a smile.

Although Ling Paisu appeared to be amiable on the surface, I could sense that he had been secretly sizing me up from the moment he entered, trying to find clues in my every word and action.

“I heard that Sect Leader Ling has come to visit, so I hope to apologize for having missed the welcome. I don’t know what Sect Master Ling is doing here today?” I asked knowingly.

“It’s admirable that Mr. Li is well-informed. During this recent period of time, Mr. Li’s reputation has spread to our Seaside.” Ling Paisu said with a smile.

“It’s just a false name, it’s not real.” I said modestly.

“Mr. Li is so modest.” Ling Paisu said with a smile.

After some courtesy, I sat opposite Ling Paisu.

“The death of the Soul Regenerating Devil seems to have hit Sect Leader Ling very hard.” I took the initiative to stir up the topic and tested the waters.

Ling Paisu really took the bait, and he pretended to mention my father inadvertently, wanting to side-step me and extract some useful information from me.

“The Soul Regenerating Demon and I were like brothers, and I am naturally very saddened by his death.” Ling Paisu said with feigned sadness.

“Then does Sect Leader Ling know who actually killed the Soul Regenerating Demon?” I asked.

“Didn’t he go off the deep end and die? I’ve heard that he died tragically because he went off the deep end from practicing magic.” I asked, pretending to be puzzled.

Right at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Ling Paisu’s eyes. This light is extremely hidden, if not for my amazing eyesight, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to detect it at all.

However, at that very moment, I suddenly realized that I had a special ability.

I can see invisible real energy!

Previously, I could only feel the presence of true qi, but could not see it with my naked eyes. But now, I could clearly see the flow of true qi, like a wisp of green smoke, slowly drifting in the air.

This is not just a result of the “Divine Eye Technique”, nor is it a result of the “Blood Eyes Pure Water”, but rather, it is a brand new ability that is created by the two together, complementing each other. As to whether this ability is only effective on the martial arts of the Blood Sect, or whether it is also effective on the martial arts of other sects, I do not know yet.

“What are you laughing at?” Ling Paisu asked with alarm when she saw me suddenly laughing.

“It’s nothing, I’m just happy to see Sect Leader Ling.” I said with a smile.

“Yes? I’m glad to see you too.” Ling Paisu said with a leathery smile.

As he spoke, the light in his eyes had transformed into an invisible thread, probing me carefully from head to toe. Finally, his gaze landed on my eyes, seemingly wanting to see if there were any secrets hidden in my eyes as well.

Unfortunately, my “God’s Eyes” are not what they used to be, so he couldn’t see anything.

Ling Paisu withdrew her gaze and said in a flat tone, “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Won’t you sit down for a while longer?” I said, pretending to stay.

“There’s no need, the days to come are long, we’ll gather again some other time.” Ling Paisu said and got up to leave.

“Take care, Sect Leader Ling.” I got up to see them off.

Seeing Ling Paisu leave, I said in my heart: thank you for the gift of Ling Sect Master, this great gift, I accept it.

Speaking of which, Ling Paisu and I are really destined to be together, as we were in our past lives, and as we are in this one. He can always inadvertently, bring me unexpected “surprise”. Although these “surprises” is not his intention, but I still have to accept his love.

Ling Paisu walked out of Jian Wuji’s study, and the Devil Buddha Broussonetia had been waiting for a long time.

“Well? Did you try anything out?” Devil Buddha asked impatiently.

“Mr. Li had nothing to do with the death of the Soul Regeneration Demon, and there is no trace of him having practiced Soul Regeneration on his body. To kill him in the realm of Soul Regeneration, it would be impossible to do so unless one was practicing a supreme Buddhist or Taoist technique, or if one was practicing an evil technique on the same level as Soul Regeneration.” Ling Paisu shook her head and said.

“So, Jian Wuji really isn’t a murderer?” Devil Buddha asked with some surprise as he heard this.

“That’s right.” Ling Paisu said with certainty.

“Are you sure?” The Devil Buddha was still a bit uneasy and asked after him.

“If you don’t trust me, why did you go through all the trouble of inviting me here?” Ling Paisu said with some displeasure.

“I’m just trying to be cautious, after all, this is not a trivial matter.” Devil Buddha explained.

Although he said so, the eyes of the Magic Buddha clearly wrote the words “I don’t believe”.

“That’s all I’ve said, believe it or not.” Ling Paisu said impatiently.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go gather the Seven Demon Generals here and let them judge.” The Devil Buddha proposed.

“No need, you go say it for me, it’s all the same words anyway.” Ling Paisu refused.

“Is that good?” Devil Buddha asked with some hesitation.

“What’s wrong with that?” Ling Paisu asked rhetorically.

The Devil Buddha knew that Ling Paisu was quite disgruntled in his heart for coming to the Central Plains this time, so he no longer forced himself.

“Alright then, I’ll take my leave.” The Devil Buddha said and turned to leave.

Ling Paisu looked at the departing back of the Devil Buddha, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

The reason why he was unwilling to meet the Seven Demon Generals was because he had other plans in mind. If it was in front of the Seven Demon Generals, he might still be concerned about his identity and restrain himself. But if it was just the Demon Buddha alone, then he could lie with impunity.

Ling Paisu withdrew her gaze and glanced at Jian Wuji’s study once more, whispering to herself, “Sir Li, how exactly did you kill the Soul Regenerating Demon?”

For some reason, he had decided in his heart that Jian Wuji was the murderer of the Soul Regenerating Demon.

However, he did not tell the Demonic Buddha about this speculation, instead deliberately concealing the truth. I’m afraid that only he himself knew what the deeper meaning of this was.

Instead of following the Devil Buddha to the Seven Devil Generals’ residence, Ling Paisu turned around and walked in another direction.

That night, Lord Dao Demon made a surprise visit.

“Congratulations, you’ve been cleared of suspicion for now.” Lord Dao Demon said with a smile.

“Oh? What does that mean?” I asked in mock confusion.

“Sect Leader Windsky has ascertained the truth, that Regent was not killed by you.” Lord Dao Demon explained.

When I heard this, I said in mock surprise, “How is this possible? I had obviously been drinking with you that night, how could I have gone and killed the Soul Regenerating Demon?”

When Lord Dao Demon heard this, he smiled and shook his head, saying, “You brat, you are truly blessed with a deep destiny, born to do great things, otherwise how could you possibly turn danger into safety one after another?”

“You flatter me, I’m still far from it, I’m at best a small snake now, there’s still a long way to go before I become a true dragon.” I said modestly.

“With your current accomplishments, it’s already so amazing, if we really let you grow up, what would happen?” Lord Dao Demon said with a smile.

I smiled and didn’t say anything.

Seeing me like this, Lord Dao Demon’s face suddenly turned serious, and he said in a grave tone, “However, you can’t take this lightly, not everyone among the Seven Demon Generals believes in the words of Sect Leader Windy Sky, especially Demon Buddha, who seems to hold great hostility towards you.”

“My lord.” I suddenly opened my mouth to interrupt Lord Dao Demon.

“What’s wrong?” Lord Dao Demon asked suspiciously.

“If one day, like the Demon Buddha, you become suspicious of me, please do tell me.” I said seriously.

When Lord Dao Demon heard this, his face changed and he asked in an unpleasant tone, “What do you mean by that?”

“I just don’t want to see the day when we turn against each other.” I explained, “Instead of waiting until we’re suspicious of each other, and we’re at each other’s throats, we should be honest with each other before it’s too late. What do you think?”

Lord Dao Demon was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, “Sir Li ……”

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“If one day you realize that I am too incompetent to match your ambitions, what will you do?” Lord Dao Demon suddenly asked.

I sniffed and was shocked, not understanding why he would suddenly say that.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked.

“I’m just wondering, if one day you realize that I’m a pedantic, unattractive old man, will you not hesitate to discard me like an old piece of clothing?” Lord Dao Demon stared at me with a burning gaze and asked word for word.

“Will you …… get rid of me?”
