You Haven't Been Possessed, Have You?
The conversation between Di Jun and Xi He was pleasant and harmonious, and everyone was happy.
But Taiyi and Chang Xi, standing to the side, felt increasingly uneasy.
At this moment, Taiyi finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Big brother, we..."
Before Taiyi could finish speaking, Di Jun raised his hand to stop him.
Di Jun turned his head, a gentle smile returning to his face, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xi He.
"My brother and I have caused you much trouble this time, and we hope you will forgive us, fellow Daoist."
"I will prepare a small gift and visit you another day to apologize."
Xi He smiled and returned the greeting.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
Di Jun bowed again and said, "Since the matter has been settled, we will not disturb you any longer and will take our leave now."
"Alright, fellow Daoists, please take care." Xi He nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Jun pulled Taiyi, who looked unwilling.
They transformed into two golden Long Rainbow and vanished into the vast starry sky in an instant.
As she watched the two golden Long Rainbow pierce the starry sky and disappear into the distance, Chang Xi's expression instantly became tense.
She turned sharply to her older sister and asked anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"Weren't you even angrier than I was on the Moon Star just now?"
"Why did your attitude change completely the moment Di Jun arrived?"
Chang Xi's face was filled with anxiety and confusion. She looked Xi He up and down, afraid that she had been ambushed by some Supernatural Power power.
Xi He withdrew her gaze, turned around, and her expression returned to its usual coldness. She glanced at Chang Xi indifferently.
"Is there?"
"After all, Di Jun is the Demon Emperor; his personal visit shows he was very courteous."
"We can't always have a stern face; that would make us look petty."
Chang Xi was taken aback by this answer. She stamped her foot, even more puzzled.
"Perfect manners? Sister, have you forgotten Taiyi's arrogant and domineering attitude before?"
"Besides, how could you agree to help them mobilize the power of the stars!"
"Isn't this the same as getting on their Demon Clan's pirate ship?!"
Xi He glanced at her and explained calmly.
"The Demon Clan race is powerful and controls the Zhou Tian Star Formation. What can my sister and I possibly use to confront them head-on?"
"If we really push them too far, and they launch a massive attack on our Moon Star, then we'll only suffer losses."
"For now, we're just doing our part when they need it."
"We've preserved our Dao Field, won the Demon Emperor's favor, and averted a great calamity. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
"For now, we're only agreeing to help them set up their formation."
"It preserves control of the Moon Star while giving the Demon Clan a way out. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
Chang Xi was stunned. She felt that every word her sister said made sense, but when put together, something just didn't feel right.
She frowned and stared at Xi He suspiciously.
Is that really... true?
"There's something strange about you."
Xi He's eyes flickered for a moment, then she regained her composure.
"Of course, what else could it be?"
Chang Xi bit her lip and voiced her worries.
"But... before Master fell into slumber, he specifically instructed us sisters to cultivate in peace and quiet, and not to meddle in the affairs of the Primordial Wilderness."
"By taking the initiative to help the Demon Clan, we're essentially choosing sides!"
"What if our master finds out and blames us?"
Upon hearing the words "Master," Xi He's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, but she quickly regained her composure.
She reached out and affectionately pinched Chang Xi's nose.
"Silly sister, you're overthinking it."
"Our master loves us the most, how could he blame us for such a small thing?"
"Besides, we only offered a small assistance; we didn't join the Demon Clan, so it doesn't count as meddling."
"Your master is very understanding; she will definitely understand. Don't worry."
After saying that, she grabbed Chang Xi, turned around, and flew towards the Guanghan Palace, no longer giving her sister a chance to ask any more questions.
Chang Xi was pulled along by her, and all her questions could only be swallowed back down, but the unease in her heart grew stronger.
On the other side.
Having moved far away from the area of Moon Star, Taiyi finally couldn't hold back any longer. He abruptly stopped, his face filled with frustration and confusion.
"Big brother!"
"You trust that woman so easily?"
"What if, when it comes to the final battle, the sisters outwardly comply but inwardly resist and refuse to contribute?"
"Wouldn't that greatly reduce the power of our Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array? That's too risky!"
"Moreover, how can we place our hopes on someone else's promise for such an important place as the Moon Star!"
"The safest course of action is to firmly control it within our own Demon Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun patted Taiyi on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Taiyi, you're overthinking it."
"I see that Fellow Xi He is gentle, kind-hearted, and deeply principled; how could she possibly deceive me?"
I believe her.
"I think you're overestimating people's character."
"Puff--"
Taiyi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes widened as he stared at Di Jun in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"Gentle-hearted and principled? Brother, are you talking about that woman?"
"Brother, you have no idea how awful her attitude was the last few times I came here!"
"If she were truly righteous, there wouldn't be any unreasonable people in the Primordial Wilderness!"
"How could that be?" Di Jun frowned, looking incredulous.
"I'm sure it was your rude attitude and Buzhou words that offended Xi He Xihe first!"
"It is no easy task for a woman to govern such a vast Moon Star."
"If you keep pushing and shoving, no wonder they won't give you a friendly look!"
"Alright, next time you'll come with me. Bring generous gifts and properly apologize to Fellow Daoist Xi He!"
"..."
Taiyi stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.
He flew around Di Jun once, scrutinizing him closely, his eyes looking as if he were examining some Primordial Wilderness, exotic creature.
Brother... what's wrong?
Did you take the wrong medicine?
Or have they been misled by something?
Is this still the same decisive and ruthless elder brother of mine, who would sacrifice everything for the cause of the Demon Clan race and treat all things as pawns?
Where is your imperial aura?
Where is your decisiveness and ruthlessness?
They were all eaten by the dogs?!
"Big brother... you, you're not possessed, are you?"
Taiyi suddenly stepped forward, his eyes flashing with Golden Light, trying to see through Di Jun's Primordial Spirit.
"Roll!"
Di Jun slapped him away.
"You're the one who's possessed! I'm perfectly fine!"
Taiyi still didn't believe it, so he flew around Di Jun twice, looking him up and down.
"Not possessed? If not possessed, why did you believe her so easily? This is completely unlike you!"
Di Jun looked at Taiyi's "you must be crazy" expression and suddenly laughed.
He laughed and said, "What can I do if I don't believe her?"
"Could it really be as you say, that you're mobilizing Demon Army to forcibly attack Moon Star?"
"Don't forget, those two sisters control the Star Core of the Moon Star!"
"If we really push them to the brink, they'll Jieyin the core and destroy everything in the process. All we Demon Clan will get is a useless planet!"
"A direct assault is the worst possible strategy; it will only make things worse."
"But... but we can't just let it go like this..." Taiyi was still somewhat unwilling.
Di Jun patted him on the shoulder. "You're still too hasty."
"Haven't you noticed? Xi He Daoist Xihe's attitude has changed drastically this time."
Unlike the previous times you went, they weren't so adamant, leaving no room for negotiation.
Taiyi moment and nodded.
Her attitude has indeed changed a lot.
"Before you came, no matter what great benefits I promised, she was unmoved and refused outright."
"Since you came this time, she actually offered a compromise."
Di Jun smiled proudly.
"Otherwise, how could I be your older brother?"
This matter cannot be rushed.
Taiyi frowned and pressed for an answer.
"So... what are you going to do, big brother?"
"It's safest to keep the Moon Star in our own hands!"
Di Jun gazed in the direction of the Moon Star, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
I will handle this matter personally.
"You don't need to worry about that. Focus on organizing the Demon Army and preparing for the great battle with the Immortal Court."
Taiyi nodded slightly. "Okay."
"Then this matter will be entirely entrusted to you, elder brother."
Di Jun said nothing more, but transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Heavenly Court.
However, the moment he turned around, his mind went blank.
Once again, Xi He's cool and exquisitely beautiful face, and those eyes that seemed to see right through people, reappeared in her mind.
He murmured to himself.
"Xi He..."
