I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Ah Qi: "..."

She felt insulted.

Long, long ago, she was actually quite brave, until she met Lin Yi, a man who didn't play by the rules.

Lin Yi was just joking with A Qi. Whether she was brave or not didn't matter, as long as she didn't do anything reckless.

"Go and call Gu Tinglan over here!"

"Oh."

Ah Qi felt secretly aggrieved. After all, she was a demon ancestor, yet Lin Yi treated her like a servant.

Gu Tinglan even received the treatment of a wife!

Is her appearance not as good as Gu Tinglan's?

In other words, she never intended to use her beauty to seduce Lin Yi; otherwise, she would have shown him what it meant to be a demon in one's heart!

Ah Qi angrily went to call Gu Tinglan.

At this moment, Gu Tinglan was still feeding the dogs and explaining Buddhist scriptures to them.

These two dogs are quite intelligent; they listened obediently.

Hearing Ah Qi's call, Gu Tinglan was also a little reluctant to stop, but knowing that it was Lin Yi calling her, she put down her explanation of Buddhism to the dog and went to the lobby to find Lin Yi.

At this moment, Lin Yi sat upright on the futon, his black robe giving him a somewhat sinister air, as if he were not a righteous person.

Gu Tinglan's heart raced at the strange sense of danger. She walked to Lin Yi's side before daring to speak, "A-Qi said you called me. Is there something you need?"

Lin Yi said calmly, "First of all, I have to tell you something. Because of me, you have been expelled from the Buddhist order."

"What?"

Gu Tinglan was stunned. She didn't know about this because she had already become a mortal and the area was isolated from news. She lived like a mortal and naturally had no contact with the world outside of mortals.

Until now.

Upon learning that she had been expelled from the Buddhist order, Gu Tinglan was shocked, but not particularly saddened; instead, she felt a sense of relief.

Now that she's been expelled from Buddhism, can't she just naturally live with Lin Yi?

This thought made Gu Tinglan feel guilty. She realized that after being a mortal for so long, she had actually come to like the life of a mortal.

Of course, it's also because she's living a good life.

There is no pressure in life, and no one will bully you.

You don't even have to worry about birth, aging, sickness, or death; all you need to think about each day is what to play and what to eat.

Lin Yi also wanted this kind of ordinary life!

“You don’t seem sad. It seems you’re not exactly loyal to Buddhism either.”

Hearing Lin Yi's teasing, Gu Tinglan felt a little embarrassed and immediately retorted, "I was just too shocked and didn't react for a moment."

"Oh? If you're sad, you can cry now."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

Is there anyone like you? My emotions are all jumbled up!

Embarrassed and annoyed, Gu Tinglan couldn't help but pinch Lin Yi's waist.

The reason she did this was because, after spending so much time together, she was less afraid of Lin Yi, and their relationship had become much closer.

Playing around and joking is also a common occurrence.

Gu Tinglan herself did not realize that this was not the behavior of a lady.

Lin Yi didn't mind being pinched by her, and he was quite satisfied to see that Gu Tinglan was in a stable mood.

She didn't cry or make a scene because she was expelled from Buddhism; her attitude is really good.

Now, let's talk about the second thing.

"The second thing is that I will soon face a great battle, and I need to retrieve the Demon-Slaying Sword. Also, I will unseal your magic power."

"Uh……"

All of this happened so fast that Gu Tinglan was caught off guard.

When she first lost her magic, she only hoped that Lin Yi would unseal her power as soon as possible, but now she is somewhat unwilling.

"Didn't you say I was dangerous and that sealing me away was to protect me?"

Gu Tinglan spoke in a pitiful tone, as if she had never realized from the beginning that she had been kidnapped by Lin Yi.

Do you really think Lin Yi's talk of protection is genuine protection?

Gu Tinglan was certainly not such a simple-minded person, but for some reason she had become unusually stupid this time.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "What I told you before was indeed true, but I have already figured out her background. She is no longer a threat, so there is no need to hide your presence anymore."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

Is it reasonable to figure out the details of a powerful enemy so quickly?

"So, I'm safe?"

"Yes, but only in the mortal realm. The immortal realm is currently searching for you, but they don't seem to care much about capturing you. However, if you were to return to the immortal realm on your own, you'd probably be in for a rough time."

As for the human world, you can go wherever you want.

Also, your master is very concerned about you. Back then, to avoid affecting the overall strategic situation, no one was told that you were still alive. Now that you've regained your freedom, you can go see him.

Gu Tinglan: "..."

She had no idea she was dead. I imagine Lu Yuanhua must have been heartbroken for a long time after learning of her death!

She knew that parting with Lin Yi was inevitable. Although she felt a little reluctant, she couldn't say it out loud.

In the end, it all boiled down to: "Will I be able to eat your cooking again in the future?"

In fact, Gu Tinglan is not so obsessed with food. She is in a good state now, not bound by appearances, facing her own preferences squarely, able to pick up food and put it down at any time.

When she asked this, she was actually asking Lin Yi if there would be a chance to meet again in the future.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "If I live, you will have a chance."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly became more solemn.

Lin Yi had mentioned a battle before, but he spoke of it so casually that she thought it was just a minor matter.

It turned out that for Lin Yi, it was also a matter of life and death.

That's true. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to come and ask for the Demon-Slaying Sword back.

"I hope there will be another chance like this."

Gu Tinglan's relationship with Lin Yi was expressed in a very subtle way, but Lin Yi could feel the goodwill in it.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I also wish you all your dreams come true. Don't forget the great vow you made. Although you have been expelled from Buddhism, your cultivation continues, and you are still a Bodhisattva."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Gu Tinglan smiled, feeling a sense of peace in her heart.

Only then did Zhang Jiao finally sense Gu Tinglan's presence and realize that Gu Tinglan was actually alive.

She never returned to the Immortal Realm.

Zhang Jiao then realized that although she had seemingly laid a tight net, manipulating Lin Yi like a puppet, Lin Yi had actually secretly pulled a fast one on her.

At this time, after a period of reflection, Gu Tinglan, though still not over her emotional ordeal, felt surprisingly peaceful and calm.

Her demonic seed probably won't be able to take root and sprout in Gu Tinglan's heart.

"That wretched Lin Yi, he keeps ruining my plans!"

Zhang Jiao is starting to have a mental breakdown.

She used to think of herself as a graceful chess player, but now, her mindset has changed somewhat...

Chapter 617 First, pacify the internal situation before resisting external aggression.

Zhang Jiao was once a woman who could turn the world upside down with a flick of her wrist, effortlessly controlling events with ease.

But now, she's completely devastated and just wants to ask one question: Why is Lin Yi bullying people like this?!

Zhang Jiao racked her brains but couldn't figure out where she had made a mistake that allowed Lin Yi to block her moves time and time again.

Now, Lin Yi has made another move.

He hid Gu Tinglan for so long, what was his purpose in suddenly letting her out?

Zhang Jiao couldn't figure it out. Even after brainstorming and having everyone's eyes pop out, they still couldn't come up with an answer.

Some of her eyes were even blown out of shape by Zhang Jiao in her anger because of her ridiculously stupid remarks.

"I can't lose, I can't lose!"

Zhang Jiao's mentality collapsed, and her demonic energy surged, causing Wine Jar Mountain to shake violently.

"Why are you so angry, fellow Daoist?"

Just as Zhang Jiao was burning with anger, a gentle voice suddenly rang in her ear.

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head; Zhang Jiao looked at Lin Yi outside the mountain in disbelief.

He appeared in his true form, and his aura was not concealed at all. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered by the Great Celestial Venerable?

Zhang Jiao felt a pang of anxiety, unsure whether Lin Yi was confused or had some ulterior motive.

They should have had a tacit understanding; they were both people who were causing trouble in secret, and they also had a common enemy.

They shouldn't have shown up until they were properly prepared.

Lin Yi's arrival now seemed ill-intentioned, which Zhang Jiao found somewhat perplexing.

How come you've bullied me so badly, and now you're going to attack me first?

"Lin Yi, what are you trying to do!?"
