I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

I'm so angry!

Xiao Yue initially felt guilty towards Hua Nianrou, but now she couldn't feel guilty anymore. Jealousy turned her into a lemon spirit, wishing she could take her place.

Lin Yi was so gentle with Hua Nianrou that she wished she were the one who was sick.

When Lin Yi heard that his friend had saved Hua Nianrou, he was immediately invigorated.

Could the friend Hua Nianrou mentioned be Qianhuan Guiji?

Lin Yi knew about Qianhuan Guiji's movements; her information on the Demon-Slaying Manual indicated that she had gone to Chang'an.

Seeing that she wasn't thinking about taking revenge on anyone or causing trouble for anyone, Lin Yi didn't bother with her.

He's actually a little afraid to see Zero One and Zero Zero right now, mainly because he doesn't know how he should face them.

Lingyi harbored deep hostility towards him and wanted to teach him a lesson to avenge Lingling. She had previously tried to besiege Crystal Palace to capture him and imprison him. Lin Yi's first trip north was forced upon him by her.

If it weren't for Zero One's sake, Zero One would have died countless times already.

Lin Yi and Lingling also had their share of grudges, but they could be said to have balanced out their debts.

Lingling wanted to kill He Dong, so Lin Yi killed Lingling. It was perfectly reasonable and justifiable; this is called self-defense.

Lingling had previously protected Lin Yi, but had also kidnapped He Dong and the people around Lin Yi, so this could be considered a settlement.

Lin Yi simply felt indebted to Lingling for a debt of karma. If Lingling hadn't adopted the original Lin Yi, he wouldn't have had the chance to take Lin Yi's place.

If she hadn't known he wasn't the original Lin Yi and hadn't kept quiet, he would definitely have had a lot of trouble.

Therefore, when facing the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, Lin Yi often doesn't want to go to extremes unless absolutely necessary.

Furthermore, after seeing Zero's memories, I learned that she was essentially a simple child, but was ravaged by too many things, which led to the birth of Zero, who bears all the sins.

I can't bring myself to kill him; there will be trouble the moment we meet.

Since that's the case, Lin Yi has no choice but to stay away.

Lin Yi originally wanted to say a few more words to Hua Nianrou, but upon hearing the word "friends," he immediately wanted to run away.

He feigned composure and asked, "My friend? What's her name?"

"She said her name was Zhang Jiao."

"Zhang Jiao?"

Lin Yi was stunned on the spot and said, "I have very few friends, and none of them have this name."

Could it be that Zero Zero and Zero One changed their names?

That doesn't make sense. If it were them, they would most likely name themselves Lin Ling or Lin Yi.

Where did Zhang Jiao come from?

To be honest, when Lin Yi heard this name, the first thing that came to mind was "the Thunder God helps me"...

Emmm...

"Huh? Isn't she your friend?"

Hua Nianrou said with some surprise, "That's what she said, and she also said that you are very good at cooking."

Can you cook?

A sudden thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind, and he imagined a girl covered in talismans.

"Is she covered in talismans, making her look strange?"

"No, there isn't any!"

Hua Nianrou looked at Lin Yi with some surprise. How could he say that such a cute girl was strange?

"Miss Zhang doesn't have any strange hobbies. She's quite normal, and gentle and quiet by nature. She must be a well-bred young lady from a prominent family!"

Lin Yi: "..."

guessed wrong?

Based on Hua Nianrou's description, Lin Yi really couldn't believe that anyone around him was like that.

There are indeed many daughters of noble families, but only Gu Tinglan possesses the temperament of one.

Everyone else had some strange attributes, more or less.

Is she still there?

"Yes, she said she came to Chang'an to find you."

Lin Yi was even more confused, but no matter who the other party was, he would find out by going to meet her with Hua Nianrou.

However, he had some other things to do before that.

"I'll trouble you to take me to meet this Miss Zhang Jiao later."

"She's visiting the study right now; you can come back with me."

Hua Nianrou smiled sweetly; she was indeed in a good mood, as she could spend more time with Lin Yi.

"No rush, let me entertain another friend of mine first."

Hua Nianrou looked around after hearing this. People were coming and going on the street, but no one seemed to notice the three of them. She also didn't know where Lin Yi's friend was.

Xiao Yue, however, seemed to understand something, or perhaps not. She simply wanted to take advantage of her master, and immediately stuck close to Lin Yi's back.

Even a paper doll master is still a master; he has the aura of a master.

Even though it's not a real person, it's better than nothing!

Lin Yi was also helpless with this rebellious disciple, so he could only pretend not to see Xiao Yue's little scheme and said to Hua Nianrou's shadow, "Come out, Jueying, this is the second time."

Jueying was completely dumbfounded this time.

She had hidden herself in Hua Nianrou's shadow, yet Lin Yi still managed to catch her?

What's even more outrageous is that he randomly bumped into a beautiful woman, and this woman turned out to be an old acquaintance of Lin Yi.

She was truly impressed!

How did you find me?

Hua Nianrou's shadow began to wriggle and separate from her own shadow.

Hua Nianrou felt a chill run down her spine as she watched this horrifying scene.

Even though she has a strong mental fortitude, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise, her legs went weak, and she almost fell over.

Lin Yi was nearby and quickly helped her up.

Xiao Yue's eyes were blazing with fury, and she almost activated the Killing Sutra to suppress Hua Nianrou, that vixen.

This kind of falling on flat ground is definitely intentional!

But she had always been so gentle and weak that Lin Yi never suspected anything.

This vixen, I really underestimated her!

After Lin Yi helped Hua Nianrou up, he did not let go of her immediately.

He really didn't expect that Jueying would possess Hua Nianrou's body; it was just bad luck for Hua Nianrou.

He wanted to expose Jueying's hiding place, and he couldn't hide it from Hua Nianrou, so he had no choice but to speak directly.

Unexpectedly, Jueying became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Lin Yi also had to be wary of Jueying harming innocent people. Although the Demon-Slaying Manual would show her status, her status was constantly changing, and she might do something in the next second.

Lin Yi's intention was only to protect Hua Nianrou, but when Hua Nianrou was held by Lin Yi, she couldn't help but have some other thoughts.

She almost fell, and Lin Yi could have just helped her up. Why did it take him so long to help her?

Could it be... that he actually also...?

It's not that Hua Nianrou is narcissistic; it's just that people who are blinded by love tend to think about things in a way that benefits themselves.

This kind of behavior is called self-strategy.

Since Lin Yi didn't push her away, she felt comfortable staying close to him.

Ok?

This time, something felt off. It didn't have that soft yet firm and elastic feel from before, but Hua Nianrou couldn't quite put her finger on it.

There's a significant difference between a real person and a two-dimensional character, even though Lin Yi, the two-dimensional character, is remarkably lifelike.

Without close contact, you absolutely cannot tell from appearance alone.

From a distance, Gu Tinglan, watching Lin Yi with one woman on each arm, couldn't help but purse her lips.

She had sensed a divine presence, which was why she rushed over, but she never expected to see Lin Yi.

She recognized Lin Yi's aura from afar. The thought that she and Lin Yi were destined to be together, coupled with the fact that she had consulted a fortune teller that morning and was currently experiencing good luck, made Gu Tinglan's face turn very ugly.

She was a Buddhist in the upper realm!

If one has Buddha in their heart, how could they understand human love and affection?

Although she didn't understand, she believed more strongly in the idea of ​​one person for life, and she wouldn't even share the tortoise shell she used for fortune-telling with anyone, let alone...

In short, knowing that Lin Yi was her destined lover, and that this destiny was deepening, made Gu Tinglan feel very distressed.

Those who consult fortune tellers often cannot change their own fate; they can only seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Turn minor good fortune into major good fortune, and major misfortune into minor misfortune.

Completely eliminating it is impossible, let alone a marriage with obvious signs.

"This must be my love tribulation, it must be..."

Gu Tinglan had prepared herself mentally, but she was still struggling with whether to let things take their course or to put up a stubborn resistance.

Anyway, she felt that if she didn't deliberately go along with fate, she would never fall in love with Lin Yi!

Could it be that she's a shallow woman who only likes Lin Yi because he's good-looking?

That's impossible!

What Gu Tinglan is now more concerned about is the presence lurking in the shadows.

The aura of that deity was too strong; it didn't quite seem like one of the gods and immortals who had descended this time.
