What kind of human could still be at ease under the current backdrop of a human and demon clans war?
He thought of someone.
The Giant Sect Supreme Elder!
To surrender to the Demon Race, to gain their trust.
He killed his seven elders!
All just to surrender to the Demon Race!
The old human in front of him must have done something extremely traitorous to the Human Clan.
Only then would the Demon Race trust him, without any worry of him returning to the Human Clan.
Ling Shu, quite respectful to him, stepped forward and greeted: "Elder Han, please take the seat of honor."
Liu Li, also taken aback, quickly stepped forward: "Teacher, why are you here?"
The old man in front of them was none other than the designated teacher arranged for Liu Li by the Demon Emperor, Han Feidao.
He taught her for three years.
The course content included human language, culture, customs, and so forth.
Besides that, he also taught Liu Li many life principles.
Hence Liu Li had great respect for this human teacher.
Han Feidao was not only Liu Li’s teacher, many tribes had invited him to teach their younger generations.
At least thirty percent of nobility’s children could be considered his students.
As a result, his prestige in the Demon Race was very high.
Few demons treated him like a human anymore.
Ling Shu even called him one of the Demon Race’s elders, showing her recognition of him.
Han Feidao, over eighty years old, was frail and walked with difficulty.
He seemed to have little cultivation.
But his expression remained stiff, rarely smiling, giving off an unapproachable aura.
"So Liu Li is here too."
Han Feidao looked at Liu Li, sternly saying:
"I heard you are going to marry a human?"
Secretly glared at Ling Shu.
This guy deliberately invited Han Feidao to suppress her, didn’t he?
Good thing she hadn’t left just now.
Otherwise, if she had been accused of neglecting Han Feidao, the Demon Emperor would have punished her again.
"Teacher, this was all arranged by my father."
Liu Li hesitantly said.
Han Feidao snorted lightly: "Then go and call it off!"
"Humans are just a filthy race, full of schemes, selfish, and devious."
"Marrying them would taint your Demon Emperor’s noble bloodline!"
In front of Jiang Fan, to belittle him and the Human Clan this way.
How could Jiang Fan pretend not to hear?
"Old man, you are called a teacher by the Demon Race, so you must be learned, right?"
"Haven’t you heard the story of Su Shi and the Buddhist monk?"
It was only then that Han Feidao noticed there was another human present.
With one look, seeing his human form and the chains on his hands and feet, he instantly knew who he was.
His face immediately grew colder, with disdain: "So it’s you!"
"Even in your presence, I must say!"
"You do not deserve to be our Demon Race’s prince consort!"
"I will suggest to the Demon Emperor to cancel this marriage."
"To prevent you from tainting the royal bloodline of the Demon Race!"
A "my Demon Race" every other sentence!
Jiang Fan found it grating to his ears.
So he really ran into a human traitor!
Jiang Fan chuckled: "One with a heart grounded in Buddha sees everyone as Buddha."
"One with a heart full of filth sees everything as filth!"
"You think the Human Clan is filthy because you are filthy yourself."
Han Feidao snorted heavily: "How presumptuous!"
"You, a captive, dare to speak so arrogantly to me?"
Ling Shu now had a headache.
She had invited Han Feidao to suppress Liu Li.
Unexpectedly, Liu Li was not suppressed but instead, there was a conflict with her dear brother.
She hastened to mediate, softly saying:
"Elder Han, yesterday I passed by your classroom and saw the couplet at the door."
"Though straightforward in form, it holds deep meaning, truly thought-provoking."
"The bow string breaks first... What was the second half again?"
"I must have forgotten."
She showed an embarrassed look.
Han Feidao slowly said: "Each time the steel blade edge gets damaged."
Ling Shu realized: "Yes, that’s the one."
"Elder Han, your couplet was truly enlightening."
Han Feidao’s angry expression faded, and he scolded playfully: "You are trying to praise me!"
"This couplet advises patience."
"If you want me to be patient, just say it."
"Do you have to praise my couplet in such a roundabout way?"
Ling Shu stuck out her tongue and laughed: "I was afraid Elder Han wouldn’t listen to my advice."
Han Feidao tapped her forehead.
Not hiding his fondness: "Such a clever little thing!"
Who wouldn’t like a junior who spoke well and was clever?
He looked back at Jiang Fan, not as overbearing, but still showed no kindness.
"I won’t argue with a junior!"
Support by Ling Shu, he sat at the chief’s seat.
After settling Han Feidao, Ling Shu approached Jiang Fan, full of apology:
"Brother, I’m sorry."
"I didn’t expect it to turn out this way."
Every sentence reeked of tea.
As long as there’s no ill intention, what’s wrong with a bit of tea?
"It’s not your fault. Is everyone here?"
Ling Shu said: "There’s still Purple Star..."
Before she finished speaking.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from downstairs.
Led by Purple Star, the Eight Stars hurried over.
Upon entering, they repeatedly apologized to Han Feidao.
"Teacher, sorry for the delay on the way."
Han Feidao’s face remained calm, not saying a word.
Liu Li lightly scolded: "Purple Star, what happened?"
"Since you knew Teacher was coming, why didn’t you arrive earlier?"
"You actually made Teacher wait for you!"
If she didn’t know, it was understandable.
But since Ten-Star already knew, how could they be so negligent?
Purple Star looked distressed and cupped his hands: "Master Liu Li, something strange happened in the city."
"Several people have gone missing one after another, so we were temporarily assigned to investigate."
Liu Li was surprised.
In the Demon Emperor’s city, someone dared to cause trouble and capture demons?
However, this matter would be handled by the Demon Clan’s strong ones.
She believed it would be resolved soon.
"After the meeting, you will escort Teacher back to prevent anyone from targeting him."
But they didn’t dare to sit without permission, all looking at Han Feidao.
"Since there is a cause, sit down."
Han Feidao’s expression softened a bit, nodding slightly.
He noticed Jiang Fan sitting opposite him, and an idea came to his mind:
"You all can sit next to Jiang Fan."
Jiang Fan had done something at Boundary Mountain that had aroused the wrath of the entire Demon Race.
The Ten Stars coming here, seeing their old foe.
How could they let him off easily?
Thus, Han Feidao deliberately pointed out Jiang Fan’s identity.
Upon learning that Jiang Fan was here, how could they not be furious?
To Han Feidao’s surprise.
The room fell into a strange silence.
The Eight Stars looked at each other, but none spoke up.
Han Feidao was puzzled.
No one dared to criticize Jiang Fan?
Downstairs, the demons were still gathered, demanding to punish Jiang Fan.
As the Demon Race’s Ten Stars, why were they so calm?
"Then sit down." Han Feidao, failing to incite them, gave up.
Who would have thought?
Purple Star still didn’t move.
No one dared to sit over there.
Who would risk their lives to sit next to Jiang Fan?
He had slaughtered two Stars right in front of the Demon Emperor.
Now that the Demon Emperor wasn’t here.
Wouldn’t killing come even more easily and smoothly to him?
