Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

"Ah, I didn't have a choice either."

Di Shanshan nonchalantly raised one hand, looking at her bright and beautiful nails, and said, "This old man doesn't care about his daughter at all, and he's unwilling to enter my holy sect to obtain the supreme true meaning. What can I do?"

So, he had no choice but to die.

Upon hearing Di Shanshan's words, the girls all showed expressions of disgust.

Feng Lingqiu sneered, "The people of the Demonic Sect... truly deserve to die!"

"whee……"

Hearing this, Wei Ziqing turned to Hui Zhilan and continued, "So... Madam Di wasn't her accomplice. Rather, out of love for her daughter, she had no choice but to cover up the truth for her, is that right?"

Hui Zhilan lowered her head and remained silent for a moment.

Tong Yan's expression turned serious as he said to her, "But no matter what, she has fallen into the demonic path. Covering her up will only embolden her and make her more unscrupulous... a scourge upon the world."

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan sobbed softly, "I have no choice... I have absolutely no choice... She is, after all, my daughter... my daughter..."

Upon hearing this, the women all looked at Madam Di and her daughter with complicated expressions.

However, Chi Junlin looked at Di Shanshan, who had a smiling face and was looking at him boldly.

I always wonder, is it really that simple?

It seems there are some parts that don't flow smoothly...

Chapter 167 Her Smile

Di Shanshan appeared to plead guilty readily.

But for Red King, doubts still remain.

What exactly is wrong?

Hmm... It's quite obvious, but with Di Shanshan's strength, is she really capable of ambushing and killing Di Cangshan?

She doesn't seem to possess such high-level martial arts skills at all.

Moreover, in a life-or-death struggle, the final struggle of an experienced martial arts master like Di Cangshan would be the most intense.

Strangely, Di Shanshan was able to kill Di Cangshan in a short time without leaving a single wound on herself.

Is this reasonable?

So is it possible that Hui Zhilan also helped?

No, this woman's martial arts skills are weak; she only has a pretty face. In a real fight, it makes no difference whether she's there or not.

Could it be that Di Cangshan gave up on his own?

Perhaps it was seeing his daughter, whom he had raised for many years, turn on him and kill him that made him fall into despair, and thus he chose to give up resistance?

It's not impossible...

"...Disciple...Disciple?"

Tong Yan's shout brought Chi Junlin back to her senses. She looked up and found that everyone was looking at her.

Then Chi Junlin asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Tong Yan replied, "So, what do you think should be done about this?"

As they spoke, they all looked at Di Shanshan with wary eyes, clearly waiting for Chi Junlin to speak.

Chi Junlin's clear and logical reasoning, as well as the scene where he pressured the Di mother and daughter to find the murderer, have clearly established a solid trust in everyone's hearts.

Therefore, everyone now agrees with Chi Junlin's judgment and is waiting for her to give a reasonable opinion.

Chi Junlin thought for a moment, then asked Tong Yan, "How were we dealt with when we captured members of the Demonic Sect in the past?"

Tong Yan then showed a thoughtful expression and said, "We should consider the specific crimes committed by that member of the demonic sect. If the crimes are minor, they should be sent to a Taoist or Buddhist academy for rehabilitation. If the crimes are serious, such as murder or treason, they should be handed over to the government for trial."

A wicked person like her, who murdered her own parents, should, according to custom, be sentenced to beheading.

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin nodded and said, "Then let's tie her up and keep her under temporary custody. After we leave here, we'll send her to the authorities to be punished."

The others also felt that the decision was correct, after all, everyone present was from a righteous and prestigious family, and they would try their best to avoid resorting to vigilante justice if possible.

So Tong Yan and the others found ropes, and Chi Junlin personally stepped forward to tie her up.

Strangely, Di Shanshan remained silent throughout and cooperated fully with Chi Junlin's actions.

After she was tied up, she even turned back to look at Chi Junlin and gave him an intimate smile.

Chi Junlin frowned, then looked at Hui Zhilan, who was standing to the side with a sorrowful and heartbroken expression.

Then he turned to Wenren Tianxia and said, "Wenren, I'm giving you a task."

"You said."

Wenren Tianxia immediately adopted a serious expression.

"Later, take Di Shanshan to an empty room and keep watch over her. Try not to let anyone have contact with her."

Chi Junlin said, "I'm worried that this demonic woman might be spreading falsehoods, but I trust you more. You are resolute and will definitely not be deceived by her."

Wenren Tianxia immediately nodded and said, "I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

After speaking, Chi Junlin gave Wenren Tianxia a few more instructions.

So she took Di Shanshan into custody, brought her to the empty guest room, and guarded her there.

Before leaving, Chi Junlin noticed that Di Shanshan turned around and glanced at him again.

His expression was a half-smile, but his eyes were filled with immense joy.

It's as if they've already disregarded their own life and death, and no longer care about anything else.

Chi Junlin frowned and pondered for a while.

Then, she looked at Hui Zhilan beside her and exchanged glances with Tong Yan.

Tong Yan understood what Chi Junlin meant, so she sat down next to Hui Zhilan and whispered words of comfort to her.

It was clearly out of fear that she might be provoked and go to some extreme.

After a while of persuasion, Hui Zhilan's expression seemed to soften, indicating that Tong Yan's advice had been effective.

Then, Chi Junlin gestured to Feng Lingqiu, asking her to come aside and talk.

After Feng Lingqiu arrived, Chi Junlin said, "Elder Feng, you are Wenren Tianxia's master, and I am very close to her, so I trust you quite a bit."

Feng Lingqiu looked at Chi Junlin, knowing she had something to say to him, and put on an expression of listening attentively.

Chi Junlin then said, "We will stay here for another five days. The problem of food must be solved."

Then, I had a vague feeling that there must have been something wrong with what we ate last night.

Feng Lingqiu was taken aback; she hadn't expected this.

So he asked, "Is it poisonous?"

Chi Junlin continued, "Normally, most of you here are martial arts masters, and you would be on guard even when you are sleeping at night."

Strangely, everyone went to bed early last night, and many people lost their usual sharp senses.

So it's possible that something that induces sleep was put in the food.

However, it's clear that letting your guard down in this situation is very dangerous, so I hope you will be in charge of cooking for the next few days. Please make as simple a meal as possible and don't ask anyone else for help.

Is this okay? "

Feng Lingqiu thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Chi Junlin's suggestion.

Chi Junlin was relieved.

Then, together with Feng Lingqiu, they went to the kitchen to check the food reserves.

After confirming that there was enough food for them to eat for five days, Chi Junlin left.

Then, Chi Junlin, who was all alone, went to Di Shanshan's boudoir.

There are two main bedrooms on the first floor of the courtyard. One is the room of Di Cangshan and his wife, and the other is the boudoir where Di Shanshan lives alone.

She had some doubts, so she came here and searched carefully.

It turned out that this was just an ordinary girl's room, and there was no trace of any possible demonic cult.

Chi Junlin was slightly puzzled.

But Chi Junlin did not hesitate at this moment.

Instead, they went to the room of Mr. and Mrs. Di.

The rooms here are relatively more spacious and luxurious, and each room has a double bed.

After searching for a short while, Chi Junlin discovered something unusual in the corner.

It appears to be fragments of a broken porcelain bowl.

Chi Junlin thought for a moment, then quietly put the fragment away.

Then she thought for a while.

Then make a judgment.

Hui Zhilan cannot sleep alone tonight.

She needs to sleep in that room at Fengling Hill.

Only when Feng Lingqiu and Wenren Tianxia were each put in charge of guarding the mother and daughter could Chi Junlin feel at ease.

Just as Chi Junlin was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Chi Junlin turned his head and saw Yan Sijun running in quickly.

Upon seeing Chi Junlin, she looked anxious and said, "Miss Lin Jun, my mother... she seems... not feeling well!"

Chapter 168 How could you be such a Wenren Tianxia?!

After a while, inside Wei Ziqing's room.

Wei Ziqing leaned against the headboard, her face slightly pale, while Chi Junlin pressed her hand to check her pulse.

Yan Sijun looked at Wei Ziqing with a worried expression.

After Chi Junlin finished taking her pulse, she immediately asked, "How is she? Miss Lin Jun, my mother..."

"It's fine for now."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Yan Sijun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, with a tense look in her eyes, she asked Chi Junlin, "Then why did Mother suddenly turn pale and almost faint just now?"

Chi Junlin replied, "Because Aunt Ziqing's body originally had accumulated cold poison, which, although dangerous, was still maintaining a certain balance. But after my treatment last night, although some of the cold poison was expelled, the original balance was broken."

She might feel comfortable for a while at first, but the combination of hot and cold inside her body will soon make her feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, feeling dizzy is normal.

Upon hearing this, Yan Sijun asked anxiously, "Wasn't the cold poison already expelled last night?"

Chi Junlin shook his head and said, "No. It's because your mother's body and meridians are too fragile. Even if I could expel the cold poison all at once, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it."

Therefore, I could only divide the treatment into several days, gradually emptying her body. This way, her body could have intermittent rest time, and the detoxification process would not be so painful.

However, it is worth noting that this process cannot be interrupted; toxins must be eliminated every day.

If your mother doesn't detoxify after a day's interval, her life may be in danger.

Upon hearing this, Yan Sijun nodded seriously and said, "I understand!"

Then, she took Wei Ziqing's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mother. I won't let anyone interfere with Miss Lin Jun's treatment for you! You will definitely get better!"

Looking at Yan Sijun's serious expression, Wei Ziqing, though still pale, reached out and touched her face.

Then a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Wei Ziqing looked so pained, Chi Junlin said again, "Since you're in so much pain, I'll transfer some of my Yang internal energy to you. Although the detoxification will have to wait until tonight, that way you won't feel so bad."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Wei Ziqing recalled the warm and comfortable feeling from yesterday, and couldn't help but blush slightly.

But she still asked Chi Junlin, "Wouldn't that be a waste of Miss Lin Jun's internal energy? I can hold out until tonight."

Chi Junlin smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's alright, my internal energy is very abundant."

As he spoke, he sat down on the bed, preparing to channel his internal energy into Wei Ziqing.
