If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 278 The Reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon, the Fear of the Divine Heart Child

As Shen Xinzi finished speaking, his eyes sharpened, and he actually strode towards You Yingying.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord quickly grabbed him, saying irritably, "You really dare to act recklessly? This woman comes from the Star Sea Sect, and this is the territory of the Sword Venerable of Supporting the Dao. Don't you dare do anything reckless!"

Shen Xinzi said solemnly, "Exorcising demons and monsters is the duty of Buddhist disciples. How can we neglect it because we are afraid of the powerful?"

He immediately shook his hand, trying to break free from the Nine-Fingered God.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord said in a deep voice, "There are countless demons in the world. This demon has not yet committed any evil deeds. How can you make a move directly? Don't forget your mission. There is an even greater calamity that requires your intervention."

He had a headache. How come this kid is even more stubborn than he was ten thousand years ago?

Although he knew that You Yingying had no relation to the Sword Master Fudao, making a move here would inevitably disrupt the peace of Medicine Valley, something he didn't want to see.

Shen Xinzi frowned, his gaze fixed on You Yingying.

You Yingying seemed to sense something and turned to look at Shen Xinzi.

Their gazes met across the vast expanse of white snow.

For some reason, seeing him made You Yingying feel inexplicably uncomfortable, and she even felt a sense of fear.

She instinctively avoided Shinshinko's gaze and fled.

After walking for a while, the panic in her heart still hadn't dissipated. She subconsciously turned around, only to find that Shenxinzi was still staring at her. Startled, she turned her head away and quickened her pace.

She walked away quickly, her mind in a daze, until she bumped into someone and snapped back to reality.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person she had bumped into was Gu An.

As the snow fell heavily, Gu An, dressed in a blue robe that fluttered in the wind, held a mirror in his hand as if holding a folding fan. The hair ornament on his head reflected the light, and the golden pattern on his forehead made You Yingying stand there stunned.

For the first time, You Yingying felt that Gu An had such an elegant demeanor. If there were truly immortals in the world, they would probably look like this.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu An asked, though he knew exactly what was going on, but pretended not to know.

You Yingying came to her senses and, for some reason, when she stood in front of Gu An, she was no longer flustered.

"There was a monk staring at me just now..." You Yingying said, feeling wronged.

Gu Anle laughed: "Aren't you supposed to be fearless? Why would you be afraid of a monk like you?"

You Yingying glared and said, "I don't know why, but I feel uneasy when he looks at me."

"Feeling uneasy? Have you done something wrong? You didn't steal someone's robe, did you?"

"Pah! Do you think I'm some kind of black bear spirit?"

After Gu An's outburst, You Yingying finally relaxed completely.

Gu An walked towards his pavilion, with the Blood Prison Great Sage following closely behind. He cast a disdainful glance at You Yingying.

You Yingying was immediately enraged and began to hurl insults at the Blood Prison Great Sage.

The man and the ox started hurling insults at each other, and Gu An, already used to it, didn't bother to interrupt.

In the days that followed, Shen Xinzi stayed at the Tai Xuan Sect, inquiring about the impressions of the Tai Xuan Sect disciples of the Sword Master Fudao.

Three days passed quickly.

Shen Xinzi returned to the Medicine Valley. He had come to understand the Sword Master Fudao and was convinced that the Sword Master Fudao was a man of great righteousness who cared for all living beings and would not stop him from eliminating demons.

Upon arriving at Medicine Valley, he met Yang Jian and Li Lingtian.

Yang Jian was pulling Li Lingtian out of the house to find a place to spar. Li Lingtian was very unwilling, but he didn't back down verbally.

Shenxinzi saw the two of them and couldn't take his eyes off them.

He moved aside to block Yang Jian.

Yang Jian couldn't help but look at him, his brows furrowing slightly. Even though Yang Jian was suppressing his cultivation, his inner and outer spirit was still unstoppable, showing the demeanor of a prodigy.

Even standing next to him, Li Lingtian appeared utterly insignificant.

Li Lingtian sized up Shen Xinzi and said unhappily, "Monk, what do you want to do?"

Shenxinzi spoke up, "Amitabha, this humble monk sees that you two possess extraordinary bearing and unique talents. Why not join my Bitter Sea Buddhist sect and cultivate the Great Dao? What do you say?"

The Buddhist path in the sea of ​​suffering?

Before Yang Jian could say anything, Li Lingtian became agitated: "You want us to become monks? Impossible!"

He is the crown prince, how could he shave his head and become a monk?

"Monk is just a secular term; becoming a Buddha is the Great Way, and that is eternity," Shenxinzi said calmly.

Li Lingtian scratched his head, feeling that this person was acting strangely, either having a problem with his brain or actually possessing something. He suddenly dared not provoke him.

He could always encounter powerful cultivators in this medicine valley, so he couldn't be arrogant.

Yang Jian said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a master and do not wish to become a disciple. Farewell."

He bypassed Shenxinzi and headed out of the valley.

Li Lingtian quickly followed.

Shenxinzi watched the two figures leave, calculating with his fingers, seemingly lost in thought.

at the same time.

In the distance, beneath the pavilion, Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu stood side by side, admiring the snow scene.

Ji Xiaoyu noticed Shen Xinzi and said, "That monk seems to be no ordinary person. I wonder if he will cause trouble for Yang Jian."

Although she had never sparred with Yang Jian, she sensed that he was definitely not a simple man.

She had also wondered how Gu An had managed to win Yang Jian's heart. After learning more, she discovered that Yang Jian had been nurtured by Gu An's elixirs, which gradually helped him discover his talent. This made her admire Gu An even more.

Perhaps Gu An's talent for cultivation was average, but Gu An's character made her admire him from the bottom of her heart.

Gu An turned around and said, "He is a high-ranking monk, how could he bring trouble to Jian'er? If he brings any trouble, it should be good fortune, shouldn't it?"

Ji Xiaoyu glanced at him, looked at the smile on his face, and felt that he was speaking from the heart.

The two continued chatting, their conversation casual. Shen Xinzi eventually found You Yingying. At first, You Yingying was very afraid of him, but he only asked her for her opinions on certain things, which gradually made her lower her guard.

Although Gu An's gaze was not fixed on Shen Xinzi, his attention was always on him.

If You Yingying were outside and captured by Shen Xinzi, he would naturally be too lazy to interfere, but that wouldn't do in Medicine Valley.

Gu Anyuan thought that Shenxinzi wouldn't deal with You Yingying, but he was wrong.

It was late at night.

You Yingying was meditating and cultivating inside the room. The candlelight cast her shadow on the wall, which swayed slightly.

She suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes. A figure rushed into her field of vision, startling her so much that her face changed drastically. She instinctively crawled backward, only to bump into the wall.

"What do you want to do?" You Yingying asked nervously, her voice loud, clearly wanting others to hear.

Shen Xinzi stood by the bed, looking down at You Yingying with a serious expression.

"No need to bother, this humble monk has already cast a protective barrier. No one can hear your cries, and you cannot escape." Shenxinzi's eyes were filled with pressure, and his tone was even colder.

You Yingying gritted her teeth and asked, "Who exactly are you? What grudge do we have?"

“Amitabha, we have no enmity with each other. This humble monk can let you die knowing the truth. You are a reincarnation of a celestial demon. Once you cultivate to the point of developing a primordial spirit, you will gain memories of your past life and bring disaster to all living beings,” Shenxinzi replied.

Upon hearing this, You Yingying's expression changed drastically, but she did not refute it. Instead, she sat blankly on the bed, looking dazed and forlorn.

"I see……"

You Yingying muttered to herself, a bitter smile appearing on her face.

She closed her eyes, ready to accept her fate.

Shen Xinzi closed his eyes, then raised his right hand, preparing to finish off You Yingying.

despair!
Suddenly, a hand pressed on Shenxinzi's shoulder, causing him to open his eyes abruptly, his Buddhist heart trembling.

This feeling was indescribable, and it filled him with inexplicable panic.

You have to understand that he has encountered countless powerful demons and monsters, and there have been times when he couldn't defeat them, but he has never felt like this before.

He was horrified to find that he could not move, and the magic power in his body was suppressed and could not be mobilized.

He immediately thought of someone.

Master of the Dao Sword!

Rumor has it that a book records that the Sword Master Fudao would pat someone on the shoulder before killing them...

He thought it was just a joke, but it turned out to be true.

"Outsiders are not allowed to kill within the Tai Xuan Sect."

Gu An's voice reached Shen Xinzi's ears; it was hoarse and indifferent, exuding an undeniable dominance.

Immediately afterwards, Shenxinzi felt the hand on her shoulder disappear, and she felt a great sense of relief.

He let out a long breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat, unable to remain calm.

For a brief moment, he really felt like he was going to die.

He looked at You Yingying again, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Amitabha!"

Shen Xinzi's voice rang out, and then You Yingying heard the door being pushed open.

She opened her eyes and saw that Shenxinzi was no longer there.

She thought of his voice just now; it sounded like he was sighing.
only……

You Yingying felt no relief at surviving the ordeal; she remained completely distraught.

A demon reincarnated...

Born into the Xinghai Sect, she had heard of the legend of the Heavenly Demon. No wonder her father refused to teach her cultivation. He was even happy to hear that she was coming to the Tai Xuan Sect, because he was afraid that she would implicate him.

That night, You Yingying leaned against the wall, lost in thought.

The next morning, she tidied herself up and then went out of the house.

Watching the disciples of Medicine Valley practice their exercises, each with a smile on their face, she felt as if she were in another world, and suddenly felt a little envious.

Although these people lack natural talent and privileged backgrounds, they can at least look forward to their future.

And what about her?
Born with bad luck, unloved by her father, avoided by her mother, and regarded as an evil spirit by everyone.

You Yingying saw Shen Xinzi, who was watching his disciples practice under a tree, seemingly lost in thought. Despite her gaze, Shen Xinzi did not turn his head.

"He can't bear to kill me? Or is he afraid I'll dirty his hands?" You Yingying stood there, stunned.

After the morning exercises ended and the disciples dispersed, she remained in front of the door.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage past her courtyard and called out to her, "Miss You, what are you daydreaming about? If you have nothing to do, go and shovel snow with them. You live in my Medicine Valley, so you should at least do some work, right?"

You Yingying woke up with a start. Seeing Gu An's slightly dissatisfied expression, she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Gu An showed a satisfied expression, gave her a "you know what's good for you" look, and then let the Blood Prison Great Sage continue forward.

At this moment, You Yingying came to her senses and, recalling his smug expression, couldn't help but stomp her foot and mutter, "He actually made me do chores for him!"

Although she was cursing, she wasn't angry inside.

She suddenly realized that although the world could not accommodate her, this medicinal valley could, and she was not so pitiful after all.

At worst, she could never cultivate again, just like that kid Gu An, live for hundreds of years, and then die of old age. As for where she would go in her next life, she couldn't be bothered to care.

In her next life, she won't be herself again.
