A Question

"It seems we didn't completely keep it from this vixen before."

Fang Zelin had already sensed it; the female demon hadn't fallen asleep.

Several elderly men stood by, and after confirming that the young woman was indeed a demon, they too felt a sense of apprehension.

Elders like them, who are revered in ancestral halls, do receive some offerings from the temple on a regular basis.

In ordinary times, it's possible to use Law Technique to help the village in small ways.

But if you encounter a powerful demon, then it's basically hopeless.

In the past, there have been instances of demons entering villages and harming people.

Basically, even the ancestral figures in these ancestral halls can only avoid their sharp edge.

With such a demon hiding in their village, whose power is so great that even they can't detect her, they naturally can't defeat her.

"Master, can you subdue this demon?"

The old man standing to the side was somewhat worried, after all, he had never witnessed Fang Zelin's methods and did not know the extent of Fang Zelin's cultivation.

Just now, I heard Fang Zelin say that he was a cultivator, but they didn't think of him as an immortal or anything like that.

Even for them, immortals were extremely rare beings to encounter.

During the prosperous Great Qian Dynasty, cultivators practiced within the mountain gates, while those who roamed the mortal realm were merely disciples undergoing training, not yet having fully entered the path.

He cannot be considered a formal cultivator.

"Judging from her low level of skill, she should be manageable. Besides, she didn't hurt anyone, and I'm just here to persuade her."

Fang Zelin replied, then strolled over and cupped his hands in greeting.

"I've come here late at night because I have something I'd like to discuss. I hope you'll come out and meet me."

The sound wasn't loud, but the other person should be able to hear it.

Sure enough, after Fang Zelin finished speaking, a gentle breeze stirred in the room.

A gentle breeze blew out, carrying the fairy to the outside of the house.

The fairy's bright eyes glanced at Fang Zelin, then she revealed an expression of certainty.

"I knew you had something going on, and I was right!"

Fang Zelin, intrigued by these words, glanced at his attire and asked, "What makes you suspect me? I believe I have done nothing wrong."

Although Clear as Empty claimed to have brought it himself, it was indeed Clear as Empty who was used in Immortal-Welcoming Tavern.

Water was added as well.

Furthermore, with villagers testifying, there should be no flaws in their story.

"The celestial brew in Immortal-Welcoming Tavern may be the same as the wine you just drank, but your attire doesn't suggest someone of great wealth and status. How could you afford such a brew?"

"And you're so generous in sharing this celestial wine with others? Besides, you poured out so much celestial wine, yet your gourd isn't empty; that's really suspicious!"

The fairy stared at Fang Zelin and said, word by word.

Besides being ranked number one in the Great Qian, the immortal wine at Immortal-Welcoming Tavern is also number one in another aspect: its price.

Nowadays, the price of this celestial wine has long since skyrocketed.

A single drop of this celestial brew is worth far more than gold.

The person was dressed in plain, unremarkable clothes, made of unremarkable fabric.

So much of the celestial wine has been poured out of the gourd, yet it's still not empty.

Isn't this strange?

Fang Zelin was speechless upon hearing these words.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.

Perhaps Fang Zelin felt that he was highly skilled, so he didn't think too much about his actions.

Only after listening to the enchantress's words did he realize how many flaws he had revealed.

Upon hearing these words, the elders in the ancestral hall realized what had happened and their faces showed a hint of shame.

They're supposed to be the ancestors who protect this village, and yet they're still alive.

Their observational skills and vigilance are actually not as good as a fairy's.

No wonder they were completely fooled by this fairy.

"I see. It turns out my attitude was a bit too casual."

Fang Zelin nodded, realizing that he had indeed revealed a rather glaring flaw.

"Who exactly are you?"

The female demon in front of him stared intently at Fang Zelin, her expression grave.

She had no idea how high this guy's cultivation level was, but given that she couldn't see through him at all, his cultivation level was definitely unfathomable.

Otherwise, she would have run away immediately.

The difference in their cultivation levels is too great. Rather than wasting our magical Law Power to escape, it's better to see what their true purpose is.

"I am merely a cultivator. I do not seek you out for any major conflict, but humans and Demon Cultivator like you to hide in Human Race village like this is bound to bring trouble."

"If you don't mind, how about leaving this village?"

Fang Zelin remained calm and asked the other party to leave the village.

"You came just for this?"

The female demon in front of him was stunned upon hearing this, a look of surprise on her face.

She probably didn't expect Fang Zelin to be so easy to talk to, not lusting after her body as she thought, or to come up with an attitude of eliminating evil and protecting the righteous.

"That's right. Your Yao Qi is not strong, and you have no malevolent energy. Even if you are a demon, you are not an evil one. Therefore, I cannot suppress you directly."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The female demon in front of him breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Fortunately, the person in front of me didn't seem to intend to make a move, which made things much easier.

"Since you've said that, I may leave now. But I do hope you can answer a few questions for me."

The female demon thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said something.

However, his tone also carried a hint of trepidation.

She worried that the other party wouldn't agree to her request.

Fang Zelin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Oh? What's the problem?"

"Does Your Excellency know where this celestial wine comes from?"

The female demon in front of him asked expectantly.

"Immortal brew? Why are you asking such a question?"

Fang Zelin felt a little strange. He glanced at his gourd without realizing it, and then took it off.

"This wine is simply something I brewed myself using a recipe I obtained."

There was no point in hiding it, Fang Zelin said immediately.

He admitted in person that this was the wine he brewed.

"What?"

The female demon was stunned upon hearing this, and then looked at Fang Zelin with astonishment.

She never expected that the wine was actually brewed by Fang Zelin!

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Seeing the other person's astonishment, Fang Zelin unconsciously frowned.

He's been brewing this wine for over two hundred years, so there shouldn't be any problems with it.

The ancient prescription was actually given to Zhang Weichu himself, and it was written by Judge Wen.

Its origin should be perfectly legitimate.

Why is the other person suddenly concerned about this?
