It seems that during the casual chat just now, Qingshe also discovered that Xuanyi could not be simply regarded as a "stranger". Apart from the familiar aura of the body of merit, the potential temperament displayed by Xuanyi made Qingshe feel a strong sense of déjà vu.

Xuan Yi had just asked casually, just to find a topic to start a conversation. Her body had been touched by unknown persons, and she had long given up hope of finding them.

But the green snake's attitude made her smell something strange.

The black-dressed lady's attitude became more assertive, her eyes slightly fixed:

"Xiaoqing, your attitude is wrong. Do you know who did this?"

The green snake aunt was puzzled. She still had a snake body and didn't have any facial features, so how could this be seen?

She tried to remain calm and replied:

"I said I don't know. What's wrong with my attitude? I was just suddenly pushed out to chat. Why would I have any special reaction?"

Xuan Yi was very confident in her own judgment. She was not persuaded by Qing Snake's explanation and said:

"Really? Xiaoqing, after you found out that your body of merit had been touched, your first reaction wasn't anger, but panic?"

"Oh~ The black snake knows the little green snake very well. Even I didn't expect such details!" The Sky Fox Queen lay in her clothes, squinting her eyes and relaxing, as if she was listening to an opera.

The corners of Chu Wuji's mouth twitched. They had been talking about serious matters for such a long time before, but the Sky Fox Queen hadn't said a word and had been lazy. But now she was full of energy.

Aunt Green Snake gasped, and her little tail flicked Chu Wuzhi's arm in her sleeve, urging him to get out of the predicament quickly. Chu Wuzhi also wanted to help, but did he dare to say a word about such a topic?

Sure enough, when faced with a serious situation, Aunt Green Snake would use her brain and stop being a stubborn general. She struggled to come up with a tricky angle and said:

"I wasn't panicking, I was just confused... When my sister was rebuilding her demonic body, I took a few glances at the body of merit, and it was fine then. Now you're suddenly saying someone has taken advantage of you. Who knows if you're just talking nonsense?"

"Xiao Qing! Are you saying that after I woke up, I went out looking for men?!"

Xuan Yi was fuming, his eyebrows raised coldly, and he glared at the green snake angrily. There was anger in his red snake pupils, but it was not ferocious. It did not have the viciousness and violence that he had at Jintai Temple. It was more like a rage turned from sadness.

She didn't expect her sister to say that!

This is really angry.

"......" Aunt Green Snake lost all her energy after being glared at by this look.

Because Xuan Yi looks so much like her sister White Snake when she’s angry. It’s not just a resemblance, she is the real her!

Aunt Qingshe was also reasonable in her heart. This matter was caused by the quarrel between her and Chu Wuzhi. She felt guilty when she tried to shirk responsibility and deny it. Now that Xuanyi blamed her like this, she couldn't think of how to respond next.

Facing Xuan Yi's gaze, the green snake shrank back into its sleeves in shame and hid directly in front of Chu Wuzhi's chest, fearing that the white snake would drag it out again.

The defeat was complete.

Now Chu Wuji is the only one left to take over, but he can't think of how to respond. There is no other way except to use delaying tactics.

I hope that as time goes by, Black Snake Mother will ignore this matter.

"Ahem... Madam Xuanyi, I'll ask my aunt about this matter later. Once I've confirmed everything, I'll tell you!"

The white snake slowly crawled into Chu Wuji's sleeves and onto his chest, and found his sister, the green snake, who was curled up in a ball.

The green snake shuddered, thinking that Xuan Yi had come in to catch her, but the person who came was her sister, the white snake, so she had to be alert.

She wrapped her hair around Chu Wuji's waist and abdomen in circles, and tied a knot for herself to avoid being taken out for trial again.

"Sister, please don't bother me anymore. I'm still too kind and can't talk to this woman. She's your inner demon, so go talk to her on your own!"

Baishe didn't expect her sister to react like this, and was a little surprised.

At this time, Xuan Yi's voice came from outside the clothes:

"And that white snake, stop hiding shamelessly in Wu Ji's clothes. Don't you have the legs to walk? Come out!"

When Aunt Green Snake heard this, she was very surprised. She raised her head towards White Snake and said:

"Sister, I'm provoking you by name. Go out and tell it yourself. I'm here to listen and cheer you on..."

The white snake shook her head unhappily, and she turned into a soft white light and flew out of the sleeve.

A graceful and beautiful woman sat down on the chair next to Chu Wuji. She had a quiet demeanor and seemed to have a gentle temperament, but when her eyes met Xuanyi's stern expression, she did not retreat at all.

The matter of the body of merit was not caused by her in the first place. Besides, it was a body she cultivated herself, so how to deal with it was her own decision.

"I heard from Wuji that you are now called 'Xuan Yi'. What do you want from me? If it's about what happened just now, you might as well ask Xiaoqing for details."

Xuan Yi shook his head, his tone becoming colder:

"Let's skip this matter and wait for Wuji to give an explanation. I just want to know one thing now, why don't you let Wuji call me 'mother'!"

"......?" Bai Sujin was at a loss.

When did I ever say this to Wu Ji?

After a brief moment of confusion, Bai Sujin figured out the whole story, which was probably due to Wu Ji's two calls of "Madam Xuan Yi".

She didn't want her son to have so many "new" wives, so she immediately hardened her attitude and said:

"I never asked Wuji to do that, but it's normal for him not to call you that. Your existence is too unexpected. He recognizes his mother who has been with him for many years, not a woman who suddenly appeared."

Xuan Yi sneered, but did not let her anger radiate. She reminded:

"Don't forget, before you adopted Wu Ji, you already had evil thoughts in your heart. These evil thoughts have never disappeared, they just haven't taken over yet.

In other words, I have also accompanied this child for many years of growth, you on the outside, I on the inside."

Bai Sujin gave a small smile and said, "You still know that you are an evil thought."

"Of course, the thought of returning to Diaolongkou for revenge has never dissipated. You've just been making decisions all the time. If it weren't for Wuji distracting me and trying to please you, I might be the one in control right now, and you'd be the one with the weak and hesitant 'evil thoughts.'"

Xuan Yi never regarded himself as a "fake". Bai Sujin sitting on the seat opposite him looked like herself, but she was just another "evil" thought after the White Snake Temple.

He lacked the courage to vent his anger, and stubbornly clung to his so-called kindness and tolerance of the past, which led to a quarrel and separation between him and his sister Qingshe, and his son developing an awkward personality. The whole family was still concerned about this and that and was very cautious.

"For example, when a few people in Diaolongkou committed evil, the first thing you did was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. But you, being tolerant of past ties and not punishing them, took into account their ancestral ties. In the end, the evil wind spread, and a few bad apples completely spoiled the whole thing."

Chu Wuji hurriedly interrupted the argument. What had already happened could not be distinguished by arguing about it anymore. It could only be distinguished by the quality of eloquence.

White Snake Mother didn't think so much at the time. What she remembered was the simplicity and hard work of the past two or three generations, and she assumed that the people there were lovely and friendly.

When something like that happened suddenly, it was impossible for her to calmly analyze and weigh the pros and cons. The primary emotions that occupied her heart were loss and confusion, and she didn't understand the reason for this betrayal.

If she had really gone back to take revenge at that time, given Xuanyi's temperament, she would have killed them all. How could she have had the patience to distinguish who was who?

There must have been some innocent people at that time.

Moreover, the choice made by the White Snake Mother at that time affected his present and his life in the Lihuo Country.

Without the past, how can there be the present? This is the position of binding.

If Chu Wuji didn't speak up for the White Snake Mother, it would be like he was receiving a blessing from her and then finding fault with her.

"Alright, let's not dwell on what's already been settled. Mother and I will go back later to seek revenge. We killed the Tianlong monk and sent him directly to the dining hall of the immortals."

Aunt Green Snake nodded repeatedly when she heard this:

"Exactly, why are you bringing up the past? I've already been scolded by my elder sister for messing around with Wu Ji, and now another elder sister shows up to bring up the past!"

Chapter 416 Settlement of Accounts

After Chu Wuji finished speaking, Bai Sujin withdrew the response she had been preparing and did not argue. Xuanyi glanced at his son and also chose to end the topic.

But ending this topic does not mean the end of the conversation. There is one thing that has been overlooked just now.

She pondered for a moment, exhaled through her nose, and said:

"Indeed, it's boring to say too much. I slaughtered Jintai Temple, and you didn't hesitate to anger the Heavenly Wrath Dragon Palace and resolutely dealt with the Heavenly Dragon Monk. You didn't really 'forgive' me, which is quite what I want.

Now let’s not talk about the old things anymore, let’s talk about the new ones!”

Chu Wuji was stunned, not realizing what was happening. He blinked.

"What's new?"

Xuan Yi's expression turned cold again. She glanced at Bai Sujin and then returned her gaze to her son.

"White Snake forbids you to call me mother, but after not seeing me for a while, you suddenly start calling me 'Madam Xuanyi'?"

She clearly remembered that the last time they met, Chu Wuzhi was a little stunned at first when he didn't know her identity. Later, when he learned her identity, even though he was confused, he still recognized her as his mother.

The changes between the two meetings were most likely due to someone interfering.

It goes without saying who it is.

"This is not my instruction. You should confirm it with Wu Ji yourself." Bai Sujin refused to admit it. She sat down next to him and prepared to sip tea. When she found that her own cup was not prepared, she simply took her son's cup to drink.

Chu Wuji was embarrassed now. He avoided her gaze and said in a dilemma:

"This...this is really none of her business. It was my own decision."

Bai Sujin paused while drinking tea and caught a detail:

"Who is 'her'? Don't refer to her by that name."

"It's my mother, Bai Sujin..."

Bai Sujin was satisfied, but the person opposite her was even more dissatisfied.

The beautiful woman in the black dress exuded a hostile aura amidst her alluring beauty and questioned:

"Very good, why do you call her mother in front of Bai Sujin, but it becomes 'Madam' here? Are you trying to show off your power to me?"

"..."

Chu Wuji was such a brave man, but now he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His back was slightly arched, no longer as straight as a pine tree, and he had a headache.

Why did he suddenly call her "Madam Xuanyi" when they met this time? It was because he was afraid that the White Snake Mother would get angry. After all, the White Snake Mother was closer to him.

Even though both sides have reasons for their choice, Bai Sujin's side is the must-choice!

The current result was actually not beyond his expectations. Xuanyi's mother was furious.

"Wu Ji, you have been silent for so long, it seems that this is indeed what you meant." Xuan Yi stared with red eyes, surprised and depressed.

This situation is like the original wife's mother suddenly discovering that her son's heart is with the mistress's mother.

Chu Wuji felt the sadness hidden under her coldness, and he couldn't bear it, so he explained with a stiff upper lip:

"I have absolutely no intention of trying to intimidate you. I also recognize you as my mother, Xuanyi. You just have objections to your attitude towards the past. You have no objections to me as your son, and I am also familiar with many of the past experiences.

But in comparison, Xuan Yi's mother appeared a little suddenly, while Bai Sujin stayed with me longer..."

"Mother Bai Sujin." The White Snake corrected immediately without missing a single point.

The silence suddenly lasted for a long time.

Aunt Qingshe couldn't help but come out, her little head quietly poking half of it out from the collar, looking at Xuanyi worriedly.

She also didn't want her sister, who was a demon in her heart, to be too sad.

If this inner demon directed its malice towards everyone around it, causing outrage from both humans and gods, then no matter how much she knew about his experiences, the Green Snake would not take it seriously. She would only regard it as a demon that had descended upon the body of virtue.

But she is not completely bad. At best, her style of doing things is a bit fierce and cruel, which seems to be quite consistent with her Green Snake personality?

It's really hard to treat them as different...

"Wu Ji, say something!" Aunt Qing Snake said quietly.

Chu Wuji felt bitter in his heart. He had long wanted to break the silence, but what could he say?

He lowered his head and looked into his aunt's eyes, shaking his head quietly.

It was Xuan Yi who finally broke the silence.

With a gloomy face, she said coldly, "Okay, go and rest first. The maid will lead the way for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the room like a flash of light.

Chu Wuji and Aunt Qingshe looked at each other. They wanted to keep her but were afraid they would have nothing to say, so they had to get up and let the maid lead them to rest.

......

After Xuan Yi left, he went to the underground altar of the Shenshui Sect, where Bai Kongque and Bu Miao had already been chatting.

The two were just wondering what Xuan Yi would talk about with Chu Wuzhi and the others, but they didn't expect Xuan Yi to appear with a bad look on his face.

It looked like they weren't having a good chat...

Bu Miao wanted to make a joke in a joking tone, but Bai Kongque shook her head to stop her, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

You have to choose the right time to joke. Xuan Yi is in a bad mood, so don't offend him, otherwise it will make you unhappy.
