The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

The bell with intricate patterns vibrated gently in Wenren Jiuyao's palm.

As if in response, another similar ringtone came from not far away.

An image of a soul tree seemed to appear in front of Jiang Xuxu's eyes. Just like the soul tree she had seen at the beginning, on the soul tree full of bells, there was a new bell that was swaying gently along with the bell in Wenren Jiuyao's hand.

Jiang Xuxu knew that it was Jiang Huai's bell.

Wenren Jiuyue did not lie to her.

But why...

My brother is obviously a human being.

When she awakened her demon veins, she had thought that Jiang Huai was in the same situation as her.

But Jiang Huai is obviously just a normal human being both in body and soul.

He is not like her. Even if he was injured since he was a child, he would recover quickly. He could be safe and sound even if he was hit by a car. He even possessed the Yin-Yang Eyes even before he learned the mysterious arts.

In her understanding, these are instincts given to her by the demon blood in her body.

But Jiang Huai does not have these instincts.

How could he not be a simple person?

"When your brother was born, your mother used some forbidden technique to forcibly imprison the part of his bloodline that belonged to the demon race. As a result, he has always been an ordinary person. Even if his bloodline is awakened, he cannot use his demon power normally."

Wenren Baiyi, who was sitting on the table, finally spoke. Her tone was lazy but contained the clarity of someone who had seen through everything.

She looked at Wenren Qiqi, her voice was elegant and pleasant,

"Everyone thought that you left your clan and entered the Taoist Academy to learn the mystical arts in order to make yourself stronger, but you only wanted to find a way from the Xuanmen to sever your bloodline inheritance."

Because she didn't want her children to become vessels for the tribe, and also to stop the tribe from having thoughts about the ridiculous rumors, she didn't plan to stop having offspring, but tried to sever all ties with her bloodline.

In fact, Wenren Qiqi did find a way.

She succeeded too.

Jiang Huai was the first one, and Jiang Xuxu was originally going to be the second.

However, Jiang Xuxu was secretly kidnapped by Guiwu's people when she was born, which prevented Wenren Qiqi from using forbidden techniques on her and allowing her to awaken her demonic power normally.

Wenren Qiqi did not refute Wenren Baiyi's words.

Because what she said was indeed true.

But so what?

"Rather than letting him grow up and become a target of calculation, I would rather he grow up like a normal child."

I heard people say this.

In fact, the forbidden technique she got from the dean of Haishi Taoist College can completely strip away the demon bloodline.

Once the demon clan's bloodline is stripped away, the possibility of being discovered and used by the clan members can be completely eliminated.

However, the result of forcibly stripping away the demon blood is that Jiang Huai will be plagued by illness for the rest of his life and his lifespan will be shortened.

As a mother, Wenren Qiqi could not be so cruel to her own child.

So she asked Dean Haishi to help her and just seal the demon blood in Jiang Huai's body.

In this way, even if he could never awaken his demonic powers, he could still live like a normal person.

Originally, as long as he was not discovered, Jiang Huai could live as she expected.

But he never thought that his actions still could not escape Wenren Baiyi's eyes, even...

She also unlocked the forbidden technique, allowing Jiang Huai to awaken the part of his bloodline that was imprisoned...

Wenren Qiqi secretly clenched his palms, feeling unwilling.

She herself was born as a test subject, so how could she be willing to let her child become the subject of her tribe's experiment?

Wenren Baiyi could clearly see the unwillingness in her eyes, and judging from her expression, she didn't even show any sympathy for her daughter.

The elders at the side could no longer hold back, and now they were speaking to Wenren Qiqi with a tone full of condemnation.

"In order to fight against the tribe, you let your child lose the possibility of awakening his demonic power. Wenren Qiqi, when you did this, did you ever think that the child would hate you after knowing the truth?"

The demon race respects the strong, so they naturally believe that being deprived of the use of demon power from birth would make it a "waste" that cannot use demon power, which is cruel for any demon cub.

Although the child's bloodline has been awakened now, he cannot use his demonic power and is still essentially just a human. If he wants to become a container, the risk is still high.

This is all Wenren Qiqi's fault!

Wenren Qiqi glared at the elder who was speaking with red eyes, wanting to refute, but rarely did she know what to say.

Because in her heart, she really owed Jiang Huai.

She decided his future without asking him.

Will Jiang Huai...hate her?

My heart inevitably wavered, but at this moment, my clenched hands were gently held by the hand beside me.

The hand was gentle and soft, just like that, it pulled apart her clenched fingers, and then held them tightly.

Jiang Xuxu said,

"I don't know about other people, but Jiang Huai, my brother...he will never hate you for something like this."

Her voice was serious and firm, with a reassuring power that inexplicably soothed the momentary hesitation in Wenren Qiqi's heart.

Although their family didn't spend much time together after their reunion, Jiang Xuxu already knew Jiang Huai well enough.

He may regret his inability to protect his family.

But he will not feel resentment towards his mother for depriving him of the right to obtain magical powers in order to protect him.

Her brother is the most gentle person in the world.

“Even though he can’t use his demonic powers, he’s still trying to protect his family in his own way.

Judging someone's strength based solely on whether he can use demonic power is the lowest standard."

Jiang Xuxu looked at the elders in front of him and Wenren Baiyi who was sitting on the main seat, with a firmness in his eyes that brooked no room for questioning.

It also restored Wenren Qiqi's originally shaken confidence.

Without hesitation, he stared at the person in front of him and said loudly,

"I know my son well! He is not as superficial as you! You old man who has lived for thousands of years can't even see through such a thing! You can't cultivate the Ten-Tails yourself, but you want to sacrifice my son. Do you have any shame?!"

"So what if my son has awakened the blood of the demon race? He has no obligations to the Wenren clan. I am his mother. If you force him to awaken his blood without my consent, I can sue you according to human law!"

Wenren Qiqi's reckless rebuke made the elders of the clan, who had always been respected, look very unhappy.

A half-demon who was only two hundred years old actually dared to point at their noses and call them old guys...

One of the elders had a cold face, and demonic aura emanated from his body. The sharp fox tail behind him rushed towards Wenren Qiqi regardless of anything.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuxu was about to take action, but his eyes flashed and the next second, he heard a painful groan.

But in the blink of an eye, the elder's tail was pierced by another tail and nailed to the marble floor.

The floorboards are broken.

Wenren Baiyi, who was sitting on the seat, looked at the elder with a calm expression as always. He only looked at the elder indifferently, and even had a smile on his lips.

"Even if Qiqi was wrong, I, as her mother, should have educated her. To hit my child in front of me, don't you think I'm serious?"
