Ding Ding was walking toward them. When she saw the two men facing off, their auras growing stronger by the moment, she hurriedly stopped.
Black Pot came to her side and gave her a gentle nod, signaling that she could stand with him.
Ding Ding found it strange, but she stood beside Gouzi anyway. An inexplicable sense of safety settled over her.
Is he the reason more than a thousand people died in Sanhe Village, and Godmother turned evil? Why would he deliberately provoke Young Master Chen?
She was puzzled. If he hadn't provoked Young Master Chen, he could have kept doing as he pleased in Sanhe Village without being discovered. Could he be trying to use Young Master Chen to get rid of Sanhe Village's Godmother?
Date Tree Godmother had become an evil Sui because of the Green-robed Scholar and had been killing the Talisman Monsters he created ever since. There was indeed deep enmity between them.
No! Date Tree Godmother is powerful, and becoming a Sui has made her strange, but she poses no threat to a talisman master like him. His real target is Young Master Chen! He lured Young Master Chen here to observe his strength during his fight with Godmother!
Ding Ding felt the thought spring suddenly into her mind. It answered the very question she had just been asking herself.

It felt as though someone else had forced it into her mind. She had never thought anything of the sort!
Her hair stood on end. Who put that thought in my head to answer my question?
Ding Ding quietly edged farther away from Gouzi.
Black Pot looked up at her with a plaintive gaze.
Ding Ding moved a little closer again. *Maybe there's nothing wrong with Gouzi,
