The main hall was spacious, yet luxurious.

The ground was paved with extremely expensive black jade, its surface smooth as a mirror, faintly shimmering with an eerie light, casting everyone's reflection beneath its feet.

At this moment, only three figures remained inside the hall.

[A handsome middle-aged man, exuding a gentle and peaceful aura, even with a slight smile on his lips, appeared to be a refined elder.]

However, judging from his high position in the main seat, this person's status in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is definitely not low; one must not be deceived by appearances.

In the center of the main hall, two figures, one in black and one in red, stood facing each other.

The young man in black frowned, while the girl in the red dress refused to budge; the two were arguing heatedly.

[It wasn't until the sound of your footsteps entering the main hall that they caught the attention of the two people.]

They turned to look, but their expressions changed drastically the moment they saw who it was.

"Gu Wudao, why are you back?"

The girl in the red dress even gasped in surprise.

【"roll!"】

Gu Wudao snorted coldly.

The powerful aura blasted the girl in the red dress away, sending her crashing into a stone pillar in the main hall before she coughed up blood and slowly slid to the ground.

The young man in black remained silent and took two steps back.

[It wasn't until my peripheral vision inadvertently fell on you that my eyes lit up.]

"Xueci, what brings you here?"

But when he saw their clasped hands, his expression changed drastically, and he angrily rebuked them:

"Gu Wudao, you actually..."

【"Bang!"】

This time, the figure was sent flying even faster, landing without a sound, and immediately passed out.

You silently glanced at the two figures and asked softly:

Who are these two?

"A useless older brother and a useless younger sister."

【"......"

"Old man, this is the daughter-in-law I've chosen. I've come to inform you."

You were led by him to the steps of the main hall, where he pointed at the middle-aged man and gave a rude order:

"Quickly bring the gift; I still need to take her to my mother's."

【"Bang!"】

You stared in disbelief as Gu Wudao flew backward, silently taking two steps back.

Is kinship in the Demonic Sect always this simple and unadorned?

"Hehe, Xueci, don't be so formal."

The middle-aged man glanced at Gu Wudao, who had flown back again, and his gaze towards you softened considerably.

"You visited the Ten Thousand Demons Sect when you were a child, so just do it the same way you did back then."

[You know, it was Gu Wudao's words that had the effect, so you gracefully bowed.]

"Greetings, Uncle Gu."

【"Eh!"】

The middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively, feigning displeasure.

"Still calling him 'uncle'?"

"Change how you address me, or I'll give you something nice."

Hearing Gu Wudao's voice, you almost withdrew the shyness that had been peeking out from your face.

However, you managed to adjust your mindset and whispered:

【"Father."】

"Haha, good, good, good!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be in a very good mood, and with a flick of his wrist, a black storage ring landed in your hand.

"Xueci, if this brat dares to bully you, he can come directly to me, or go to his mother. Someone will take care of him."

You smiled shyly, then lowered your head.

You wouldn't dare accept that.

Nothing will happen now, but once I get home at night and the door is closed, I'll be completely helpless.

This brat really doesn't give you any leeway!

"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll take her to meet my mother."

Gu Wudao pulled you towards the palace exit, and you took the opportunity to put the ring away.

"It seems Wudao is quite satisfied with her, actually securing a spot for her like this."

The middle-aged man looked at the girl still groaning on the ground and the unconscious young man, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

"But looking at Xueci's style, it's becoming more and more like Wudao's. I remember she wasn't like this when we were kids..."

Gu Wudao led you swiftly through the city, finally stopping in front of a quiet courtyard after half an incense stick had burned.

[Tsk~ A big house isn't good either; with your cultivation level, who knows how long it would take you to fly...]

You silently muttered a complaint to yourself before following Gu Wudao into the courtyard.

A towering ancient tree shades the courtyard, beneath which sits a white porcelain teapot on a stone table. Green bamboo sways in the corner, and a faint scent of herbs wafts in the air.

A woman was reclining in a chair beside a stone table, her eyes closed in a relaxed state.

The tranquility here is worlds apart from the eerie atmosphere elsewhere in the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

These two important figures from the demonic sect are both quite adept at self-cultivation; they seem perfectly righteous.

【"Mother."】

Gu Wudao stepped forward obediently to pay his respects, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance and domineering manner.

You stealthily observed the woman, and your eyes met hers as she opened them.

Startled, you quickly hid behind Gu Wudao, only daring to peek out. Realizing he was still watching, you hastily retreated further.

Gu Wudao's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

This little thing can hold back even more than him.

Is that Xue Ci?

Hearing the woman's gentle voice, you slowly revealed yourself.

"Come here quickly, let me take a good look at you."

You hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Wudao, waiting for him to nod.

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, he turned his face away and looked to the side.

[Damn it, they won't give me any face at all, huh? I'll remember this!]

You gave an awkward smile and slowly walked to the woman's side.

[You were immediately pulled by the wrist and sat down on a stone bench.]

"They say girls change a lot as they grow up, and it's only been a few hundred years, but that little snotty-nosed girl has blossomed into such a beautiful young woman."

The woman looked you up and down, her smile growing even more friendly.

In some ways, this man's reputation is even more terrifying than that of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect Master in the main hall.

Her name was Yin Wushuang, and she once single-handedly slaughtered an entire super sect.

That's right, it's a super sect.

Although that happened thousands of years ago, at that time that super sect was already on the verge of decline.

【but...】

Even the most declining super sects still have Saint-level experts presiding over them.

In other words, this woman before them, with her gentle, smiling face, possesses the strength to kill a saint.

[The number one sect in the demonic path truly harbors hidden talents!]

You sat up straight, your voice more obedient than ever before:

【"Hello, Aunt Shuang~"
