Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Brother Yao Xie, it doesn't matter who you like, as long as you're willing to try liking me, I'd rather stay by your side for the rest of my life!"

Ni Mantian finally gritted her teeth and uttered this humble promise of love; she no longer wanted to be alone!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Yaoxie put her down and stroked her hair. "After you left, I realized how special you are, how different you are, how passionate you are. My feelings for you, for Xiaogu, and for Qingshui are all different. I can't say they are all love, but I like all of you!"

Lin Yaoxie was shocked by his own words.

In reality, this would be considered a complete scumbag.

But when Ni Mantian heard him say that, a line of crystal-clear tears flowed down her cheeks.

She waited for it, she really waited for it.

Throughout the past days and nights, she had been heartbroken countless times, always comforting herself that her demon brother still cared for her and would definitely come back to find her. Yet, she also constantly contradicted herself.

Now, she finally heard Lin Yaoxie's feelings for her with her own ears!

All the tears I shed before were worth it!

"Alright!" Lin Yaoxie wiped away Ni Mantian's tears with his hand. "Don't cry, Brother Yaoxie will show you something fun!"

As she spoke, she removed her veil.

Ni Mantian looked at the large mole on his face and burst into laughter through her tears: "Brother Yaoxie, why are you dressed up so ugly!"

Lin Yaoxie also laughed and said, "Isn't it just that you want to infiltrate your Penglai!"

"Then you can just give me your name and come find me!" Ni Mantian asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it because I was afraid you, this little rascal who ran away from home, wouldn't want to see me? How embarrassing would that be for me? And now you want to take me back?"

223 Lin Yaoxie gently stroked Ni Mantian's little nose with his hand.

"Hmph! No way! If I had known it was you coming to see me, I wouldn't have refused to see you!"

Ni Mantian said in a coquettish tone.

"I have seen you a few times in your Penglai, always surrounded by your fellow disciples."

Lin Yaoxie's tone was deliberately sarcastic.

"Brother Demon, they keep bothering me, and I'm really annoyed. I've told them to leave, but they won't!"

And what will you say to your father? Will you say I bullied his precious daughter and sent her back to Penglai?

Ni Mantian said, feeling wronged.

"Alright, alright, I'm not a petty person. Tell me how you ended up here. Don't you have many disciples following you?"

Lin Yaoxie asked.

"After my second senior brother and I broke the mountain formation together, we came to this forest. At first, there were no problems, but then one of our junior brothers went missing!" Ni Mantian paused and said, "We couldn't let him fend for himself! So I discussed it with my second senior brother, and I decided to go out and search for him while he led the team forward. And then, I fell into the trap!"

Lin Yaoxie nodded. So that's how it is. But the second senior brother that Ni Mantian mentioned is much more responsible than Feng Bitang!

How could Feng Bitang, with such despicable behavior, have earned Ni Wanzhang's favor?

"Shall I accompany you to look for your junior brother again?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"No need!" Ni Mantian's face turned somewhat sorrowful. "The reason I fell for it was because this tree used my junior brother's corpse to lure me in..."

Chapter Seventy-One: A Makeover

"Brother Demon, you really shouldn't have that ugly chin!"

Ni Mantian held Lin Yaoxie's hand and said in a coquettish tone.

"it is good!"

Lin Yaoxie nodded. Now that he had already met Ni Mantian, there was no need for him to continue disguising himself as Feng Bitang's companion.

"Mantian, do you know what's wrong with these trees?"

"Before Father came, he told me that this Floating Pearl has destructive power and can control mountains, trees, and even clouds, rain, thunder, and lightning. So, Father told me how to break it," Ni Mantian said, still a little embarrassed.

"You little fool, you knew the solution but still got tangled in the branches!"

Lin Yaoxie said.

Ni Mantian's face flushed slightly.

"They didn't do it on purpose. That wicked tree tricked me with my junior brother, and I... I accidentally fell for it!"

Lin Yaoxie smiled indulgently and patted her head: "Just kidding! I'm here for you, aren't I?"

Ni Mantian laughed happily. This was the first time Lin Yaoxie had told him that he was there.

This feeling was no longer the same as before, when she watched Lin Yaoxie dote on Hua Qiangu and treat her exclusively.

For the first time, she truly felt Lin Yaoxie's feelings for her.

If Ni Wanzhang were to tell Feng Bitang about the Floating Pearl, then Ni Mantian would certainly know far more than Feng Bitang.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself and touched his face with his hand.

In no time, he removed all the decorations from his face, restoring his previously clean and fair complexion.

“Brother Yao Xie, you’re still as handsome as ever!” Ni Mantian said.

"Haha, how do we get through this forest formation?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

Although he wasn't afraid of the formation, he was still quite curious about what methods the Penglai Sect Leader had.

"Father gave me a bead. He said that if we really couldn't get through a certain situation, we should take it out. It could temporarily affect the power of the Floating Bead, giving us a chance to escape."

Ni Mantian took out a brocade pouch from her bosom.

"This is the bead. This bag is designed to block divine power! Demon Brother, take a look!"

Lin Yaoxie took it and examined the real bead carefully. It was crystal clear and beautiful, but there was nothing special about it.

"I can't tell what anything is, so you can just pack it up!"

Ni Mantian took the bead back and put it back in her bosom.

“Actually, I don’t know what this bead is called either. My father didn’t tell me,” Ni Mantian said.

Lin Yao smiled wickedly:

"Who cares what it is? You could save your life in a pinch!"

Ni Mantian sat with him on a low rock.

"Next, are you planning to come with me, or go find your fellow disciples?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"I never want to be separated from Brother Yaoxie again!" Ni Mantian said.

"I didn't know Brother Yaoxie was coming before, so I joined the team, but now that I've met Brother Yaoxie, I never want to be separated from you again!"

"Um……"

Lin Yaoxie nodded. In fact, he could guess that Ni Mantian would definitely not leave him.

"Your second senior brother will probably come looking for you since you haven't returned for so long, right?" Lin Yaoxie said after considering for a moment. "The two of us have more freedom of movement, but it will be troublesome once they start looking for you!"

Ni Mantian thought about it and agreed that it made some sense. "Then should I go and tell them?"

Then she thought, "Brother Demon, did you come here by yourself?"

Lin Yaoxie touched his nose. Of course, he didn't open it himself; he was Shuangmu, who was registered with Fengbitang.

Lin Yaoxie suddenly realized that if he didn't go back for a long time, the cowardly Feng Bitang would probably become quite uneasy.

He certainly wouldn't send anyone to search for it; instead, he would send a few more people to scout ahead, looking for his own body or something, and then proceed with extreme caution along the way.

Thinking about it, Lin Yaoxie laughed.

"Brother Demon, why aren't you saying anything? What are you so happy about?"

"I wonder what Brother Yao Xie is thinking about? Why are you so happy!" Ni Mantian asked in confusion.

"Huh?" Lin Yaoxie said, "It's nothing, I just think your senior brother is quite interesting!"

For the first time, Ni Mantian felt that her aesthetic sense was quite different from that of her demonic brother, that greasy, selfish, and cowardly senior brother?

What's so interesting about that!

"No way! He's such a hypocrite, how could Brother Demon find him interesting?"

Ni Mantian found it quite strange.

“Haha, I’ve been with him all this time,” Lin Yaoxie said. “When I infiltrated the Penglai Sect, it was through his connections. At that time, I used the alias Shuangmu and worked as one of his attendants.”

"This is outrageous! He actually dared to make the evil brother his follower! Even my father wouldn't dare, he's really gone too far!"

Ni Mantian said angrily.

"It's alright, it's alright. He didn't gain much advantage. I was just thinking that if he found out I hadn't returned after so long, he would be very worried about the great formation in the forest."

"Yes, yes, my senior brother is known for being timid, cowardly, and afraid of death. You disappeared as a scout, so he definitely wouldn't dare to come in directly. Even if Father gave him a bead like that, he would still not dare to go in immediately."

"So, I suddenly disappeared because he might slow down the entire Penglai."

Lin Yaoxie said.

"Brother Demon, I know you're vying for the divine artifact for the sake of eternity, but I came to this blessed land for you. My original plan was that if you didn't come looking for me, I could take the Floating Pearl to you, and then you wouldn't have the nerve to ignore me!"

Ni Mantian said, "I originally came to fight for the Floating Pearl, just for you."

"Silly girl, don't think about that anymore, it's all in the past. I've come to find you now!"

As Lin Yaoxie spoke, he put his arm around Ni Mantian's shoulder.

"Then we'll tell your second senior brother so he won't worry. As for your eldest senior brother, let's just watch the show!"

Lin Yaoxie was deeply moved by Ni Mantian's words. In fact, Lin Yaoxie did not come for Ni Mantian at first, but later he did not want to disappoint the girl's burning gaze, so he went along with the mistake.

Hearing her say this now, Lin Yaoxie felt that he was quite lucky. Ni Mantian was simple-minded. Although she had some of the willfulness and capriciousness of a sect leader's daughter, she was a simple girl.

Ni Mantian nodded, leaning shyly against Lin Yaoxie's chest.

"Shall we head forward and catch up with Second Senior Brother?"

Lin Yaoxie nodded.

The two people stood up.

"Flying on swords isn't allowed here, Demon Brother," Ni Mantian said. "We'll just walk and chase after them."
