Chapter 105

  What's up?

  Yan Hongye was introduced by Lin Ruolan and almost fainted.

  What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my own ears? Or did Lin Ruolan make a mistake when introducing him?

  What the hell is going on? It's actually Mo Jun Qi Ye, the Demon King of the Yin Yue Imperial Court! Upon hearing Lin Ruolan's introduction, Yan Hongye was completely stunned.

  "Lin sister, is he really Mo Jun Qi Ye? The Mo Jun Qi Ye of the Yin Yue Huang Dynasty?" Yan Hong Ye hesitated for a moment before asking Lin Ruo Lan for confirmation.

  After all, the matter is settled, and Yin Yue Huang Chao and Xuan Xin Zheng Zong can be said to be sworn enemies for generations; especially since Yin Yue Huang Chao is still a demon clan, it's better to be careful and not make any big mistakes.

  "This Holy Emperor is actually the Demon King of the Yin Moon Dynasty." The speaker was not Lin Ruolan, but the Demon King Qiye who had never spoken before: "What? Yan Hongye, are you planning to take action against this Holy Emperor and perform an exorcism?"

  Mo Jun Seven Nights' father Mo Jun Six Paths was killed by the master of Xuan Xin Zheng Zong, Chi Songzi, in the battle of Honghe Village; when facing Yan Hongye, Mo Jun Seven Nights did not shift his anger; however, wanting him to let go of what happened between Yan Hongye and Yan Yuese is simply unthinkable.

  This remark sounds particularly uncomfortable, Lin Ruolan wiped a sweat for Mo Jun Ye Qi's ferocity on the side; at the same time, she couldn't help but start to retreat in her heart.

  Shouldn't I be following Yan Hongye to the Red Leaf Grass Hall? Looking at Mo Jun's and Yan Hongye's behavior, it seems that getting them to get along isn't an easy task; if things don't go well, a big fight between the two of them is entirely possible.

  "You..." Yan Hongye's pretty face sank, as if she would start a big fight at any moment.

  Lin Ruo Lan was now quite certain that following Yan Hong Ye to Red Leaf Grass Hall had been an absolutely wrong decision.

  "Brother of the Seventh Night."

  Lin Ruo Lan gave Mo Jun Qi a reproachful stare: "Hong Ye is still young, can't you, as a man, give in to her just this once?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ruolan didn't wait for Mo Jun Ye to respond; she turned her head and said to Yan Hongye: "Hongye sister, sorry; Seventh Night brother doesn't have any malicious intentions."

  Yan Hongye slightly furrowed her brow, and her small face almost scrunched up into a bun-like shape: "Lin sister, Mo Jun Qi Ye is the Holy Emperor of the Yin Yue Dynasty; he's a demon, how can humans and demons be friends?"

  In the education that Yan Hongye had been exposed to, her world was either black or white; so in Yan Hongye's heart, demons were demons and humans were humans; she had never thought that there could be a gray area beyond just black and white.

  Especially since Yan Hongye had memories, his father Yan Chixia would often talk about it; the scene of the bloody battle in Honghe Village that year, where the river flowed with blood and the wild geese wailed, was constantly instilling in Yan Hongye the idea that the Yin Yue Huang Dynasty was a good demon.

  There is no doubt that Yan Chixia's brainwashing of Yan Hongye was quite successful. Over the years, when Yan Hongye encountered demons and monsters while training outside, she never showed any mercy.

  But today Yan Hongye was destined to hit a wall because she encountered Lin Ruolan who never played cards according to common sense.

  "Red Leaf Sister, why can't humans and demons be friends?"

  Yan Hongye's words delighted Lin Ruolan, who smiled at Yan Hongye and said: "Sister Red Leaf, this world is not just black and white; between black and white there is a gray area. People are like demons, they can be good or bad. Just as people have good and evil, demons also have good and evil, so humans and demons are actually the same."

  Lin Ruo Lan's words caused both Yan Hong Ye and Mo Jun to be shocked at the same time. Yan Hong Ye was stunned; she had never thought of it that way before, but after careful consideration, Lin Ruo Lan's words made a lot of sense. People can be good or bad, so why can't demons also have good and evil ones?

  As for Mo Jun's seventh night, he was shocked and had never thought that the saint he found would give him such a big surprise!

  "Alright, Hongye sister; since it's not very convenient here, I'll go find an inn to stay in first." Lin Ruolan stood up and prepared to take her leave.

  Lin Ruolan came to Nanguo Town with Mo Jun Qi Ye, so there's no reason for her to abandon Mo Jun Qi Ye and live in Hongye Caotang.

  "Sister Lin!"

  Yan Hongye was greatly anxious, she hastily reached out and grabbed Lin Ruolan's sleeve: "It wasn't what Lian meant, Sister Lin don't go! You can stay at Red Leaf Cottage with Mo Junyi without any worries."

  "But you're not with......" Lin Ruolan furrowed her brow slightly, genuinely standing on Yan Hongye's side and thinking for her; it wasn't the so-called "luring by pretending to be weak".

  Yan Hongye saw that Lin Ruolan was not in a hurry to leave, and her tense little face finally relaxed; after hearing Lin Ruolan's words, she quickly shook her head and said: "Don't worry, Sister Lin, you're absolutely right; this person is just like the demonic capital, there are good and bad people; we can't generalize and condemn an entire group of people, Leng Jia will know about it."

  Lin Ruolan subconsciously turned her head to look at Mo Jun Qi, but saw that handsome face comparable to a national treasure was close at hand; his eyebrows didn't move, his eyelids slightly lowered; the beauty of the heavens, all sorts of splendor were revealed; Lin Ruolan discovered for the first time, that a man's good looks could actually be so shocking.

  "Lan'er, what are you looking at?" Mo Jun's eyes didn't waver, but every word fell into Lin Ruolan's ears; Lin Ruolan turned her head back with a calm face, without even responding to his words.

  Lin Ruolan felt that the world was calm and so was she, getting used to it; others could keep their hearts unruffled, why did she need to be emotionally stirred up and entangled?

  Mo Jun Qi Ye had been silent all along, anyway, wherever Lin Ruo Lan was, he would naturally follow; so when Lin Ruo Lan spoke with Yan Hong Ye, Mo Jun Qi Ye didn't interrupt.

  Under Lin Ruo Lan's nod and Mo Jun Ye's tacit consent, the two of them temporarily stayed at Hong Ye Cao Tang and became Yan Hong Ye's honored guests.

  Lin Ruolan, Mo Jun Qi Ye and Yan Hongye stood outside an ancient temple that had been abandoned for a long time. Lin Ruolan was completely stunned; Nima? Is this the legendary Lanruo Temple? It feels so different from what I expected!

  Although what's in front of us is called an ancient temple, from Lin Ruolan's perspective, it would be more suitable to call it a mountain god temple.

  Only half of the dilapidated mountain gate remains, and outside the mountain gate, there is a large incense burner that has collapsed to the ground; from a distance, you can still see the collapsed god stage in the temple; only half of the Buddha statue's body is left, without even a head.

  From the three-person-wide path, all the way to the entrance of the broken temple; all are waist-high grasses growing densely, even on the roof of the broken temple; also vaguely visible, all covered with lush wild grasses.

  Damn it!

  A place with a gloomy atmosphere, quite different from the Langya Temple in TV dramas; however, this dilapidated temple has deteriorated to such an extent that it's no wonder people would say it's inhabited by a group of wandering ghosts and wild spirits. Lin Ruolan wouldn't suspect anything at all, hmm... indeed, only ghosts would live in such a haunted place.

  "Red Leaf Sister, is this the Orchid Temple?"

  Lin Ruolan asked Yan Hongye, who was standing beside her, "How is it that you've been living in Nanguo Town for over a year now; compared to me, you can really be considered a local."

  "Sister Lin, look!"

  Yan Hongye pointed to the broken temple gate, where half of the signboard had fallen off; the signboard was covered in spider webs, but you could still make out two large characters - "Lan Ruo"; presumably the other half that had fallen off would have been a character for "temple".

  "Shall we go in and take a look?" Lin Ruolan suggested.

  Mo Jun Qi Ye and Yan Hong Ye were both highly skilled and daring individuals, especially Mo Jun Qi Ye. He had originally come to Lanruo Temple after receiving Nie Xiaoqian's plea for help, so he naturally wouldn't refuse Lin Ruolan's proposal at this moment.

  "Wait!"

  Lin Ruolan had just lifted her foot when she felt something was off; although she had already released her spiritual sense, why couldn't she feel any aura at all? Not to mention people, even birds and beasts didn't seem to have sensed any movement.

  Sauce purple is not scientific!

  Since entering the range of Nanguo Town, Lin Ruolan has always had a strange feeling; but it's hard to say what it is. What makes Lin Ruolan even more worried is that her spiritual consciousness in this big mountain seems to have no effect at all.

  Forget it, since using divine sense didn't work; then don't use divine sense from now on, wait until leaving Nanguo Town to talk about it again.

  "Sister Lin, what's going on?" Yan Hongye turned her head to look around, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary; she was very puzzled by Lin Ruolan's sudden stop.

  Mo Jun's seventh night also worried and asked: "Lan Er, is there any danger?"

  From the Black Wind Forest to leaving and entering Nanguo Town, Mo Jun Qi didn't tell Lin Ruolan that most of his powers seemed to be suppressed by some strange thing; not wanting Lin Ruolan to worry about him, Mo Jun Qi didn't truthfully tell her about his situation.

  Mo Jun's remaining power was only a small fraction of what it once was, and he couldn't sense anything out of the ordinary; however, he knew that Lin Ruolan wouldn't stop everyone without reason, so there must be something wrong somewhere; or perhaps Lin Ruolan had sensed some underlying danger, which is why she spoke up to stop everyone.

  Mo Jun Qi Ye had never felt so helpless as he did at this moment, unable to assist Lin Ruolan in any way; Mo Jun Qi Ye was even more indignant and resentful afterwards.

  "Seventh Night Brother, Red Leaf Sister, don't you think it's a bit too quiet here?" Lin Ruo Lan furrowed her brow, which had been like that since she arrived in Nan Guo Town; she reminded Mo Jun Seventh Night and Yan Hong Ye with a sentence.

  "Quiet?"

  Yan Hongye muttered to herself for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "Lin sister, I understand now; this is deep in the mountains and old forest, and there isn't even any bird calls; it's really strange and not quite right."

  Yan Hongye was very clever and Lin Ruolan reminded her; she reacted first.

  Mo Jun Qi Ye also spoke up, "It's not just the absence of any bird calls, Lan Er, take a closer look; the wild grass around Lanruo Temple doesn't even move at all, and look again at the trees behind us."
