CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 166 ARE YOUR HEARTS MADE OF FLESH? (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)_4

"I don’t want my kin to be tortured while also mocking me."

At this moment, Xun Yu’s tone had softened considerably.

He looked out at the overcast sky through the window, listening to the sound of pouring rain:

"With this premise, you know why I went back to find Xun Xian."

"I’ve long realized my own helplessness."

"I can only rely on nurturing Xun Xian, hoping she becomes a righteous person."

"When she reaches the level of a Golden Patrol one day, I can tell her everything."

"Even if by then she still kills me, still exterminates my kin, at least we’ll go with satisfaction."

"Moreover, we can hope that one day she’ll avenge us, dragging Yuan Tiangang and others into the abyss of pain."

Xun Yu seemed to convince himself as he spoke.

The chubby man’s face was filled with that kind of fantasy, as if he truly saw such a situation unfold.

Yuchi’s response was somewhat mocking:

"Luckily, Xun Xian hasn’t broken through yet, otherwise do you expect her alone to fight against the Demon-slaying Bureau or the Celestial Capital Department?"

"I can only say you’re overthinking it."

"Your actions will ultimately get her killed, and even your kin might suffer the worst fate."

Just relying on Xun Xian to save people? She’ll truly die.

"I didn’t have a choice," Xun Yu replied with just one sentence.

Yuchi nodded.

Xun Yu suddenly burst into laughter.

His throat seemed clogged with phlegm, making his laughter very awkward.

Yuchi could vaguely hear the cunning whispers of many demons:

"Of course, there’s another layer to adopting Xun Xian."

"Since I’m talking to you, Yuchi, I might as well say it straight."

"You, Uncle Xun, find this sort of thing quite amusing."

"Imagine, a cultivator standing up for us demons!"

"Then the authorities get into a fierce battle because of demons, and people engage in internal strife over them! Don’t you find it interesting?"

The implication is watching you guys tear each other apart is truly delightful for me.

Yuchi didn’t respond at all.

Noticing Yuchi’s calm demeanor, Xun Yu covered his chubby face:

"Sorry, got a bit carried away."

"I just find it all too amusing."

"The so-called wise officials and folks get to be teased by a lowly demon like me."

Adopting Xun Xian served mainly two purposes.

First, hoping Xun Xian would avenge him in the future.

Second, watching the internal conflicts within the government.

As for why cultivate her into a righteous person? Because in Xun Yu’s eyes, such people are easy to deceive.

"So you’ve never considered things from Xun Xian’s perspective?" Yuchi tossed out this question.

"Of course not," Xun Yu replied nonchalantly.

"Is that true?" Yuchi asked again.

In the dilapidated room, only his calm breathing could be heard, of course with some ignored rain sounds from outside.

"What do you want me to say?"

Xun Yu bowed his head, staying silent for a long time.

He seemed to want to say something, but kept suppressing the words.

In the end, he displayed a completely indifferent attitude, calmly answering, "She’s human, I’m a demon."

"Do you expect I could have any goodwill towards her?"

"It’s impossible, I just want to watch the conflict between you all, nothing more."

Nodding, seeing his casual demeanor, Yuchi calmly responded, "In the end, you’re still a decent person."

Xun Yu was speechless, saying nothing.

The room remained silent for a breath or two.

Then Xun Yu suddenly sighed and proactively spoke:

"Before we continue chatting, I want to ask you a question, do you know someone named Yuan Wansong?"

Yuan Wansong, Yuchi thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I know him."

"We met before in Xufu Town, he even helped me host the Demon-Revealing Array."

"He’s my Uncle Yuan, I’m even his nephew."

That was a simple gathering in Xufu Town, exchanged for twenty thousand silver, and got an Uncle Yuan.

"Good ol’ Uncle Yuan."

Xun Yu clapped his hands gleefully, his belly jiggling with laughter.

His face was once again full of smiles, "Alright, since you know him, then things are easier to explain."

"Yuan Wansong and Yuan Tiangang are both handling the entire affair."

"From my many years of covert investigations, they wanted to control the Defense Department for profit back then."

"They invited Xun Yu out for a trip, then suddenly ambushed him."

"Xun Yu was gravely injured and unconscious, and Yuan Wansong released me from a cage, then I possessed Xun Yu’s body."

"The rest you know, they used my kin’s safety to coerce me into obedience."

Xun Yu’s tale aligned with Yuchi’s speculations.

Xun Yu was set up, then controlled by a demon.

Just goes to show how such a powerful person got the chance to be possessed by a demon. Turns out, there was a traitor from the Demon-slaying Bureau helping from behind.

Back then, Xun Yu probably never imagined being possessed by an ordinary demon in his lifetime.

Who could’ve thought of that, caught in a sudden trap.
