Luo Wusheng didn’t act rashly.
After all, there was the incident where he mistook Yao Ji for the empress, and he felt that he couldn’t draw conclusions too quickly.
Miss Kirin on the opposite side felt a bit strange being scrutinized by Luo Wusheng. It seemed as if this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect knew some big secret about her.
Under such a gaze, she had forgotten all the doubts she wanted to ask.
It was the first time she experienced such a feeling.
Given her experiences, what hadn’t she seen before? How could she feel so flustered because of someone’s gaze?
Miss Kirin, who had seen the world, found it hard to imagine.
But facing this Holy Saint from the Demon Sect, who always seemed to know everything, she had a feeling that he might have information about her secrets…
(Should we stop here for today?)
Anyway, with the Holy Saint’s cultivation level, it’s basically impossible for him to have any connection with the mysterious person who saved the demon empress, and he doesn’t emit any demonic aura.
Moreover, this time he really helped the royal city a lot.
Without Luo Wusheng, the immortal nation wouldn’t even know if they had a chance to deal with the demons this time.
If the plan of the new demon lord succeeded, the royal city would undoubtedly fall into much greater chaos than tonight in the future.
If the demons were to rescue their mistress at that time, it would be much easier than tonight; the royal city might not even be able to mobilize enough manpower to respond.
With this thought, Luo Wusheng’s suspicion seemed to have reached its lowest point.
After all, if he wanted to save the demon empress, why would he leak the demon clan’s information to the immortal nation? Did he think it was not difficult enough to lift the suppression?
Hmm… Although there were a few suspicious points a moment ago, the Holy Saint has always been mysterious and secretive since he arrived at the royal city, and there have been quite a few puzzling behaviors.
Even now, the immortal nation still can’t figure out what this Demon Sect Holy Saint is doing in the royal city.
To revitalize the Demon Artifact Pavilion?
He did indeed achieve this, and he did it perfectly, directly placing the Demon Artifact Pavilion in the position of the royal city’s number one refining pavilion.
But if that was Luo Wusheng’s only purpose…
Miss Kirin, who has always believed in her exceptional deductive ability, doesn’t believe it.
Likely, even the chief of intelligence, who also had a lot of dealings with this Demon Sect Holy Saint within the Six Gate Bureau, wouldn’t believe it either.
However, at present, the Holy Saint seems to be on good terms with the immortal nation. He didn’t hold back against the demon clan during the previous events and even provided unexpected help in dealing with the demons. No matter how she looks at it, he doesn’t seem to be involved with the demon clan in any way.
Thinking of this, Miss Kirin felt that she really shouldn’t be too entangled.
If she were to list all the people who could have helped the demon clan unseal the demon empress tonight, Luo Wusheng would definitely be one of the least likely candidates.
She had been a little too suspicious before.
……………
After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Luo Wusheng fell into contemplation, looking at his own mansion and then at the horizon, which was already showing some light.
Just as he realized the possibility that Miss Kirin might be the Empress in disguise, his initial thought of leaving the troublesome place early instantly dissipated, replaced by the idea of trying to probe her intentions.
However, to his surprise, Miss Kirin, who had shown some suspicion towards him at the beginning, seemed to figure something out in the next moment and completely abandoned the idea of continuing to pursue the matter. She simply changed the topic, chatted with him for a while, and then left on her own.
Using teleportation, she took herself outside the dense forest.
Luo Wusheng sighed.
“I was thinking of gambling again…”
He pinched a piece of Star-Moon Jade with three dazzling stars converged in his hand, shaking his head as he carefully put away the beautiful jade into his storage pouch.
His movements were cautious, afraid that he might accidentally put the Star-Moon Jade into the storage pouch that Moon Xuanji had given him.
Though Yao Ji, the little fox demon empress was still in a weak slumber, she was, after all, a Tribulation Crossing-level demon. If she could sense something in her dream…
After glancing at the small storage pouch and seeing the little fox curled up on the ancient zither, still sleeping peacefully, Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he rubbed his chin.
After considering the possibility that Miss Kirin might be the Empress in disguise, his heart, filled with a sense of good feelings, started to stir.
However, the previous scene really didn’t provide any opportunity to give her a jade or something similar.
Well, it was just as well. He could find another chance to test her… Besides, he would have to face the empress in her empress form, and the safest approach would be to directly use the Star-Moon Jade to increase the empress favorability.
(But if Miss Kirin really is the empress in disguise, how would it feel to serve under oneself?)
To act respectfully towards another self, addressing her as “Your Majesty.”
He couldn’t help but think that the psychological process would be quite interesting.
However, after acting for such a long time, one should probably get used to it.
He wondered how the “One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones” technique of the Taoist sect really worked. Was it really dividing oneself into three from all the time? Wouldn’t that eventually lead to a split personality?
But looking at the original story, the Empress hadn’t shown any symptoms like that, so it shouldn’t be that simple.
Truly worthy of being a supreme skill of the Taoist sect.
Shaking his head, Luo Wusheng stepped into his own gate.
(Finally, the chaotic events of tonight are over…)
Well, now it’s time to rest properly and then organize the messy information.
……………
Inside the Six Gate Bureau.
Miss Kirin’s thoughts finally calmed down, returning to her usual composed appearance.
(It seems like I was overthinking…)
Even if that Holy Saint from the Demon Sect has a lot of information, he couldn’t possibly guess her identity.
Unless he came specifically for her.
As she thought about it, she paused and looked at the nearby seat.
Night Crow, wearing a feather mask, was sitting there, and his eyes under the mask looked at her with interest.
“Do you need something?”
“Just now, I happened to see you taking that Holy Saint from the Demon Sect outside of the ascending immortality lake… I was curious about what he did, so I came to ask you.”
Hearing Night Crow’s response, Miss Kirin found his gaze somewhat peculiar.
She felt that the frequency of her Six Gate Bureau spy master’s attention to the Holy Saint from the Demon Sect seemed to be increasing…
But it was just right. She also wanted to talk to Night Crow, who had also had a few dealings with Luo Wusheng, about the recent events.
So she nodded, leaving out the part where she felt inexplicably flustered and informed Night Crow about the details of what had just happened.
“…What do you think?”
“Hmm… My opinion is similar to yours. That Holy Saint from the Demon Sect should have no connection with the demon clan. But as for his purpose in coming to the royal city…”
Night Crow leaned back in the chair, seeming to contemplate, but then shook his head helplessly. “That kid’s thoughts are really hard to predict. I wouldn’t be surprised if he came for the Empress… Oh?”
As he looked at the empty space in front of him, Night Crow scratched the back of his head.
Why did she just leave like that?
Kirin seemed a bit strange…
Luo Wusheng didn’t act rashly.
