Chapter 85: In This World, There’s Not Only Fighting, but Also Worldly Wisdom p1
Mu Zhi’an’s voice rang out clearly in the pavilion, causing Ye Yu to fall into silence.
“The wisp of pink smoke in Miss Bai Ruoxi’s body is just a special spiritual energy, not demonic energy.” Mu Zhi’an spoke again, “Although it seems like demonic energy, in fact, it’s still different from demonic energy.”
“Young Master Ye, what do you think?” He calmly looked at Ye Yu.
After Mu Zhi’an went to see Lan Mulian and heard the answer he wanted from her, it was no longer so important whether Bai Ruoxi was a demonic cultivator or not.
When everyone believes she is not a demonic cultivator, then she is not.
This matter actually also has a certain relationship with Bai Ruoxi’s talent.
She is a once-in-a-century genius that even the Two Polarities Sect has to take seriously. Moreover, Lan Mulian is not a pedantic person who sticks to conventions.
With Bai Ruoxi’s current achievements and such great fortune, as long as she doesn’t do anything harmful to the Eastern Realm in the future, even if the Two Polarities Sect knows there is a wisp of demonic energy in her body, they will still protect her.
As for the Bai family’s side, the Two Polarities Sect may secretly investigate this matter afterwards, but as long as they confirm that the Bai family hasn’t colluded with demonic cultivators from the Northern Realm, they will be safe and sound.
And all of this is due to Bai Ruoxi’s talent, as well as Mu Zhi’an’s relationship with Lan Mulian.
Of course, assuming the higher-ups of Tianxuan City made trouble using the matter of Bai Ruoxi being a demonic cultivator, even if the Two Polarities Sect was domineering, it would be unreasonable. Therefore, at that time, they would still need to find a legitimate reason to protect Bai Ruoxi.
However, with the Mu family’s status and position in Tianxuan City, as long as Mu Zhi’an said the word, the higher-ups of Tianxuan City would give a favor by going along with the situation.
No one would go against the current in this situation.
Now this matter is already the general trend. Among the family elders and patriarchs present here, some people know Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator, and some people don’t know.
But now, even those who know will pretend to be muddled.
Those who pretend to be muddled are geniuses, and those who are honest and want to take revenge on Bai Ruoxi are fools.
Coincidentally, there is such a fool who thinks he is the only one who discovered Bai Ruoxi’s secret.
Little does he know, among the cultivators present, quite a few have already noticed this matter.
Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhi’an and said coldly, “You calculated this step long ago?”
Mu Zhi’an gently shook his head and said seriously, “Young Master Ye, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“I’m just an honest person who was slandered and now wants to appeal in court to prove that Bai Ruoxi and I are innocent.”
Ye Yu said in a deep voice, “Even if everyone here stands on your side, once we enter the sect, I can still inform the sect master.”
Mu Zhi’an secretly shook his head and chuckled.
Ye Yu still hasn’t figured out the situation until now.
Even if he reports it to the higher-ups of the Two Polarities Sect, it’s useless.
Bai Ruoxi’s talent has already determined that she won’t receive any punishment.
If it was before, Mu Zhi’an might still be a little unsure.
But previously, Lan Mulian had said that her master, the sect leader of the Two Polarities Sect, had said something like “rules are dead but people are alive,” indicating that the sect leader is not someone who sticks to conventions.
The wisp of demonic energy in Bai Ruoxi’s cauldron(1)*(dantian) means she is a “half-demon”… To put it cutely, she is a “fox-eared girl.”
Cultivators and demonic cultivators are mortal enemies, but occasionally there are also a few exceptions.
Bai Ruoxi is that exception.
Her talent, plus Lan Mulian’s judgment, is already enough for the Two Polarities Sect to make an exception.
Mu Zhi’an sighed lightly and said helplessly, “Young Master Ye, at the beginning you kept saying that Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator. We didn’t want to argue with you because we believed that justice is in people’s hearts and also believed that Senior Sister Lan would give us an explanation.”
“Then you used a Void Pill to try to prove Bai Ruoxi’s identity as a demonic cultivator, still to no avail. Now everyone including Senior Sister Lan has confirmed that Miss Bai Ruoxi is not a demonic cultivator, yet you still suspect her.”
Mu Zhi’an said coldly, “Are you questioning the judgment of everyone present?”
These words were like a heavy hammer smashing on Ye Yu’s head, causing his face to lose color.
But he quickly reacted, sneered, and said, “Mu Zhi’an, you can do whatever you want in Tianxuan City, but when you enter the Two Polarities Sect, can you still cover the sky with one hand like today?”
“I cover the sky with one hand?” Mu Zhi’an repeated and asked in return, “So you mean I’m secretly colluding with Senior Sister to protect a demonic cultivator?”
“Just based on your one-sided words, you’re throwing such a big pot of dirty water at us? Aren’t you bullying honest people?”
Ye Yu sneered, “Don’t play dumb, Mu Zhi’an. You know better than anyone whether Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator.”
“I know clearly in my heart that Miss Bai is an extremely intelligent and delicate woman, not some demonic cultivator.” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile.
Mu Zhi’an’s tone suddenly changed as he said, “Also, Young Master Ye, why do you think what you say is correct? What others say is all wrong?”
He pointed at Ye Yu and said, “Then can’t I also say now that the demonic cultivator is not Bai Ruoxi, but you?”
鼎炉中 : cauldron(1)*(dantian)
鼎炉
From now on, I’ll translate the following 鼎炉中 : cauldron into the following ‘dantian’. I realized thanks to one NovelUpdates user review that I was taking the meaning too literally from the dictionary, haha. Thanks for the review. And please, if someone detect any more errors, let me know in the comments . Sometimes I get the temptation to write Bai as ‘white’ (百, Bǎi) instead of ‘Surname Bai’ (白, bái), and it would end up as ‘White Ruoxi’ haha.
