The Demon Eye King?
The Demon Eye King!
Seeing the sudden appearance of the young man, with his signature sports headband, Zhang Yuanqing's pupils contracted sharply, his back hair standing on end. His body received signals of fear and tension, and at this moment, adrenaline was being secreted wildly to cope with the crisis he was facing in reality.
How did he find me here? No, this is impossible. My home address cannot be exposed. Even if the Demon Eye King found out, he should have gone to my house to find me, not appear here.
Is he not coming for me, but for this young man? Or is he just passing by?
In an instant, Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts raced through tens of thousands of miles. He maintained the same look of astonishment and fear on the surface, pulled Kou Beiyue, and deliberately took two steps forward, staring at the Demon Eye King, and said:
"Who are you and why are you following us?"
The Demon Eye King is an evil profession, and Kou Beiyue is also an evil profession. The probability of them being friends rather than enemies is greater. I showed a certain degree of protection to Kou Beiyue. The Demon Eye King can't just kill his teammate, right? Although I am a lawful profession.
Zhang Yuanqing played a little trick.
When he guessed that the Demon Eye King was not coming for him, he felt much calmer.
Otherwise, he would have to kneel down with a tiger's landing posture, shouting: Spare me, King!
But Kou Beiyue did something unexpected. He took a defensive posture and said in a low voice:
"He is likely a bewitching demon at the level of a saint. This person is very strange. We need to be careful."
This person is very strange, we need to be careful. Zhang Yuanqing's expression froze slightly when he heard this. He thought, what does this mean? Aren't you friends? You showing this defensive posture will make me nervous.
This guy is not a saint, he is a big shot at the level of a master.
The sudden change caught Zhang Yuanqing off guard. Escaping was definitely a dead end. The Night Roaming skill is known as a stealthy divine skill, but in the case of a huge level difference, Zhang Yuanqing did not hold out hope that he could deceive a master-level big shot.
A head-on collision was also not possible. In front of the Demon Eye King, he couldn't stand up at all.
On the contrary, his whole body was soft.
Kou Beiyue did not soften. He was full of a tough temper and stared angrily at the young man who had just met, asking:
"Did you mark me?"
Otherwise, how could you find him?
The Demon Eye King smiled and said, "I said that I want to take you to the north for training, so naturally, I have to pay more attention. I noticed that you were in an abnormal state just now, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be mixed in with the official people."
As he spoke, he cast his gaze on Zhang Yuanqing and scrutinized him, saying:
"You seem to be a Night Roaming God of the Taiyi Sect, right? Why are you associating with evil professions?"
Before Zhang Yuanqing could answer, his eyes narrowed and shot out a cold light, saying:
"Oh, I know. Collusion between officials and bandits, oppressing the people, not worth living."
His tone did not contain any killing intent, but being stared at by those eyes, Zhang Yuanqing felt as if he was in a cold cellar, both physically and mentally.
"Who are you to say who I can associate with?" the defiant young man scolded.
For heaven's sake, stop talking. Don't bring me into this, Zhang Yuanqing cursed in his heart, but with Kou Beiyue's interruption, his mind finally turned the corner.
This Kou Beiyue is the junior that the Demon Eye King has taken a fancy to and wants to take back to the north for training?
If that's the case, then it really is "friends rather than enemies." Well, this person is a radical, and he can't stand corrupt officials and bullies who prey on the weak.
I should say something that appeals to his interests and win his favor.
This is not flattering the enemy, but strategic risk avoidance. Zhang Yuanqing's heart settled slightly, and he pretended to be serious, saying:
"I am an official, that's true, but he is not a bandit. He is a good person. Just now at the nightclub, he could have relied on killing ordinary people to heal his injuries, or taken a desperate gamble, or restored his condition to escape, but he didn't. He would rather linger on the brink of life and death than sacrifice the lives of the innocent.
"This precious quality of his surpasses that of most people in the world, even many official practitioners do not have such enlightenment. If he is a bandit, then everyone in the world is a bandit."
Kou Beiyue listened in astonishment, thinking to himself, I have such noble qualities? How come I didn't know that?
The Demon Eye King smiled and said, "But he is an evil profession."
"So what if he's an evil profession?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, standing up straight, feeling impassioned. "In the worst group, there are good people. Not every evil profession is beyond redemption, and not every lawful profession is kind-hearted. I no longer judge everyone based on the characteristics of their profession.
"As long as they are good people, whether they are evil professions or lawful professions, they are my friends. As long as they commit crimes, whether they are lawful or evil, they are my enemies."
In that moment, Zhang Yuanqing's image shone brightly in Kou Beiyue's mind, second only to Master Wuhen.
He suddenly understood why Xiao Yuan, who had a cold and cautious personality, became friends with the other party.
No one would refuse to be friends with such a man.
The Demon Eye King seemed to be taken aback by the unexpected answer, and after a moment of surprise, he smiled brightly:
"Interesting, very interesting!
"I have seen many good people in the lawful professions, but I don't like them because these people are stubborn in their thinking. Although they are doing righteous things, they are the guardians of the old order, obstacles to cleansing the world.
"You are very different. Compared to order, you care more about following the guidance of your heart, following the good and evil in your heart, and this is exactly what I pursue."
He showed a certain degree of appreciation and said, "Let me see if what you said is true."
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
As his voice fell, two crimson runes emerged in his pupils, which then radiated a red glow.
Zhang Yuanqing's body suddenly stiffened, his mind muddled and devoid of the ability to think, his pupils dilating in response.
Zhang Yuanqing had no chance to react and was almost instantly bewitched.
The Demon Eye King summoned a sharp fruit knife, stood in place with a smile, and asked:
"Have you ever abused your position for personal gain, accepted bribes, extorted money, misappropriated public funds, obtained illegal income, or committed rape or coerced women?"
The Demon Eye King asked a series of questions, covering almost all the crimes an official could commit.
He was so familiar with them.
Zhang Yuanqing's expression was wooden, his voice hollow: "No."
No? The Demon Eye King fell silent, and after a few seconds, he sighed with a sense of urgency:
"You're lucky, I can't find any evidence to kill you for now."
He immediately lifted the bewitchment.
Kou Beiyue watched the scene, his expression blank, momentarily unable to distinguish who was the enforcer and who was the bewitching demon.
Evil professions interrogating lawful ones, could there be any wrongdoing?
Is there anything more absurd in the world?
Yes!
That is, the lawful profession actually did nothing wrong at all, is this even human?
Damn it, I was controlled by accident, luckily I haven't been an official walker long enough to engage in corruption and bribery. Also, spreading obscene images and videos isn't a capital crime in this guy's eyes. Zhang Yuanqing regained control of his body, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
"May I leave now?" Zhang Yuanqing maintained a calm exterior.
"Yes!" The Demon Eye King nodded with a beaming smile: "What's the name of your Lingjing D?"
Zhang Yuanqing said solemnly: "Yuan Ting!"
The Demon Eye King nodded slightly: "From Kangyang District?"
"Yes."
"Answer me one more question. What kind of person is the Celestial Venerable?"
Zhang Yuanqing's face was serious, and he spoke word by word:
"He is someone of higher integrity, braver and more upright than me. In his presence, I often feel out of place due to my lack of righteousness."
The Demon Eye King looked astonished.
In the ancient Buddha hall of Wuheng Inn, where sandalwood fragrance lingered.
Xiao Yuan bowed to the figure in blue robes beneath the Buddha statue, "Kou Beiyue has broken the rules you set, seeking revenge on his own against an official enforcer, only to be cornered in the nightclub."
"Do you want me to save him?"
The voice of Master Wuheng, suppressed with pain, echoed in the hall.
Xiao Yuan shook her head gently: "I have already sought help from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who rescued Kou Beiyue. In return, I plan to join his faction."
Master Wuheng seemed surprised and was silent for a long time. "Good!"
His voice finally rose after a long silence, filling the quiet hall.
"The master also approves of that young man," Xiao Yuan continued: "What should be done with Kou Beiyue?"
"Kou Beiyue has not purified his six senses and cannot let go of his hatred. From this day forth, he is expelled from Wuheng Inn until the day he truly reforms, then he may return."
"Yes."
The Demon Eye King's astonishment slowly faded, and he lifted the corners of his mouth: "Interesting, very interesting.
"I can't help but want to meet this little guy; he must be fun."
He pondered for a few seconds, then said:
"Actually, I too am a law-abiding bewitching demon. I appreciate your perspective and also believe that order and evil are not the standards for measuring good and evil; it's the human heart that is.
"We can add each other as friends, keep in touch. If you could give me the Primordial Celestial Venerable's social media account, I'd be even happier."
I'll only recommend Elder Dog to you. Zhang Yuanqing dared not refuse, and with a stiff scalp, he took out his phone and added the Demon Eye King as a friend.
Suddenly, the phone felt unbearably heavy, as if he wanted to throw it away.
The Demon Eye King quietly marked Taiyi Gate's Yuan Ting, pocketed his phone, and turned to leave, waving to the two behind him:
"Until we meet again, I hope next time you also won't give me a reason to kill you."
