The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Chapter 91 Testing

The Feng family's villa, west courtyard.

Wang Xu followed Jiang Ming nervously, and knelt down to beg for forgiveness as soon as he entered the room: "Master, I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Hmm." Jiang Ming was a little tired. He sat down at the table, rested his head on his hand, and closed his eyes to rest. "Explain."

Wang Xu: "Your subordinate... Your subordinate..."

Wang Xu didn't know how to begin, because he had no idea what Shen Xianzi was all about.

Jiang Ming glanced at him impatiently: "Get up and talk."

Wang Xu stood up: "Master, I really don't know what's going on. Fairy Shen... she seems to have fallen into demonic possession!"

"Possessed by demons?" Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment: "How could she suddenly become possessed by demons?"

Considering that Shen Yao had quietly awakened a new spiritual root, Jiang Ming thought, 'Could she have had contact with the demon race and used some kind of evil magic?'

"Wang Xu, tell me everything that has happened in the East Courtyard these past few days."

Wang Xu: "Yes, Master."

"After you left, Fairy Shen wanted to go out, but I stopped her. For the next few days, they stayed in the East Courtyard without any unusual behavior."

"Until yesterday, after Immortal Saint Feng Yu and Old Man Huo left the city at the summons of City Lord Deng, Fairy Shen and her sister were watching the Thorn Beast on the roof... Your subordinate..."

As Wang Xu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that it seemed he really was the one who led Shen Xianzi astray, and he hesitated to continue.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Ming knew there was something going on. His brows furrowed even deeper, and his tone became more fierce: "Continue!"

Wang Xu said tremblingly, "I was afraid that Fairy Shen would fall, so I also went up to the roof and spoke to her... I said... Feng Yu is not as good as you, Master..."

"But Fairy Shen misunderstood you deeply, saying that you were ruthless and indiscriminately killed innocent people. So I said... that the hall master killed those who deserved to die, and Fairy Shen suddenly became possessed by demons!"

Jiang Ming: "What was she like when she became possessed by a demon?"

Wang Xu recalled for a moment: "When Fairy Shen was possessed by a demon, she was filled with malevolence and black energy! Her eyes were filled with anger, and there was black energy at the corners of her eyes. It doesn't seem like she was possessed by a demon recently!"

“There’s anger in her eyes.” Jiang Ming murmured, “She’s… having a mental demon…”

Jiang Ming fell into deep thought; this inner demon seemed to be related to him as well.

Ruthless? Indiscriminately killing innocent people?

Jiang Ming never felt that he had indiscriminately killed innocent people.

If he killed the wrong person, it must be because there was something more important that required innocent sacrifice.

How could this be related to him? He was certain he had never met Shen Yao, let alone her father.

'Does she hate me so much because I killed someone in her life?'

Jiang Ming didn't understand. Even if someone had killed her, it certainly wasn't someone important, otherwise he would have been killed by her father long ago.

She killed someone unimportant, so why hate him so much? He didn't even intend to kill her.

Jiang Ming was exhausted. He sat down casually, closed his eyes, and tilted his neck back. His strong features highlighted his Adam's apple. The moonlight from the window shone on half of his face, giving him a cold and aloof aura.

Huo Die did not return home all night, and when she sent him a message, he only replied with "I know." Shen Yao was a little puzzled, but not worried.

But since Huo Die hasn't returned, they definitely can't leave the city.

With Huo Die absent, Jiang Ming, relying on the fact that he had saved Shen Yao's life, brazenly stayed in the East Courtyard.

His spirit followed Shen Yao wherever she went and who she was with.

Shen Yao couldn't take it anymore. She kicked open the door to the room occupied by Jiang Ming, went in, and started yelling, "Master Jiang, don't you have anything else to say? Aren't you afraid my father will come back and beat you to death?"

Jiang Ming calmly took a sip of tea: "You owe me a life."

Shen Yao did owe him a life, but Jiang Ming owed her even more, and she didn't feel guilty at all.

Shen Yao kicked over the tea table, snatched the teacup from Jiang Ming's hand and smashed it, trying to drive him away in anger.

Jiang Ming calmly cast a restoration spell, and the room returned to normal.

Feng Yu was also annoyed by Jiang Ming's persistent questioning: "Hall Master Jiang, what exactly do you want?"

Jiang Ming completely ignored Feng Yu. He walked up to Shen Yao and asked her, "Have we met before?"

Shen Yao was shocked and somewhat flustered. Feng Yu pulled Shen Yao aside and stood in front of her, saying, "Jiang Ming, your endless harassment shows no gentlemanly conduct whatsoever."

"Ha." These words amused Jiang Ming, who had never been a gentleman and disdained gentlemanly conduct.

He approached Shen Yao through Feng Yu and asked her menacingly, "Have you seen her before?"

Shen Yao looked at Jiang Ming's face. His current expression and appearance overlapped with the murderer who killed her master on the night the Spirit Herb Sect was massacred in her memory.

A surge of hatred welled up in Shen Yao's heart. As she confronted Jiang Ming, she spoke in a somber tone, enunciating each word clearly: "Whether you've seen him or not, doesn't Hall Master Jiang know?"

Jiang Ming understood; these words meant that he had seen it before, but he couldn't recall ever seeing it.

That was when he was killing someone, and she saw it.

The atmosphere was too dangerous, so Feng Yu stopped Jiang Ming and led Shen Yao out of the room.

Jiang Ming, however, spoke casually and nonchalantly to Shen Yao's retreating figure, "Fairy Shen, have I ever killed anyone around you?"

Shen Yao was completely enraged, and her anger grew stronger and stronger. She turned around angrily, her eyes burning with rage, and black lines gathered between her brows. Her anger soared into the sky, and black energy instantly filled the entire East Courtyard.

The disciples guarding the courtyard all changed their expressions drastically, and the disciple in charge cried out to Feng Yu for help: "Immortal Saint Feng Yu!"

Feng Yu: "Everyone out! Guard the East Courtyard. No one is allowed to speak of what happened today!"

'It really is an inner demon,' Jiang Ming thought to himself. 'It really is related to me.'

Shen Yao summoned the Ice Soul Sword, channeling her spiritual energy to thrust it at Jiang Ming: "Jiang Ming! I'll take your life!"

Jiang Ming didn't dodge at all, letting the sword blade pierce towards him. The sword blade only tore his clothes, not even penetrating his skin.

The disparity in strength was too great, and Shen Yao felt even more indignant. She withdrew her sword and was about to stab him again.

Jiang Ming coldly raised his hand, and with a casual flick of his spiritual power, he knocked her unconscious.

Feng Yu rushed to her rescue, but Jiang Ming grabbed her and flew away at lightning speed, leaving behind only the words: "Shen Yao's identity is unusual. The True God Sect took her away. If the Feng family wants to take her back, let the family head come and negotiate."

These words were amplified so widely that even Xuanfeng Pavilion heard them. Feng Xuan went out of the pavilion to check and only saw his second brother riding a spirit treasure, chasing after him out of the courtyard.

'Flying is prohibited within the city, yet Second Brother still managed to chase after them!' Knowing that something terrible was about to happen, Feng Xuan ordered a news blackout and also went after them.

Jiang Ming took Shen Yao out of the city and headed straight for Fenzhou.

Jiang Ming was able to leave the city without hindrance, but Feng Yu was stopped by the gatekeeper when he tried to leave. By the time he chased after him out of the North Gate, Jiang Ming had already disappeared.

Feng Yu wanted to give chase, but Feng Xuan, who had arrived, stopped her: "Second Brother, don't be impulsive!"

Feng Yu: "He took my wild goose boat, how can I not chase after him!"

Feng Xuan had already guessed the whole story: "Second Brother! You don't even know if Jiang Ming will go to Fenzhou or circle back to Xianmu City. What's the point of blindly chasing after him?"

Feng Yu: "Jiang Ming is ruthless and cunning; I'm afraid..."

Feng Xuan: "Second brother, don't be afraid. In my opinion, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Fairy Shen. With Fairy Shen's status and background, he would have to treat her like royalty even if he took her away. Besides, there's Old Man Huo around."

Feng Xuan knew exactly what was going on and earnestly advised his second brother not to recklessly pursue her.
