The wind outside the door is a bit cold.

Su Wu pressed his hand on the sword, suppressing the power of his blood and qi within his body, and slowly made his way towards the direction of the yin energy he sensed.

This is another benefit of the basic demon-suppressing stake: the ability to sense demons.

As long as you can sense the presence of demons, taking action yourself will always give you the upper hand.

Of course, some powerful demons can conceal their presence.

But it's clearly not the one outside the Suwu Academy.

He held the knife, tiptoed, and tried to make his movements as gentle as possible.

However, before Su Wu could even reach the doorway, the sinister energy he sensed vanished and disappeared in an instant.

Sensing this scene, Su Wu steadied himself and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Gone?"

"Have you spotted me?"

Su Wu believed that he had already kept the commotion to a minimum.

Moreover, with the help of the Concealing Qi Technique, he did not reveal the slightest trace of his martial arts cultivation.

"Unless it's a demon with exceptionally strong sensory abilities?"

Su Wu had not encountered any of these demons outside of the Demon Suppression Prison.

He naturally dared not be careless.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

While she was thinking, Su Xiaohui ran out of the kitchen, holding a cabbage and tilting her head to look at Su Wu.

Upon seeing Su Xiaohui appear, Su Wu smiled, turned around, and pressed down the sword at his waist.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to go out for a walk."

"I don't want to anymore."

Su Wu didn't want to tell Su Xiaohui that he was being targeted by demons.

That would make Su Xiaohui worry too much about herself.

Hearing Su Wu's explanation, Su Xiaohui had no doubts. She wiped her hands on her apron and spoke to Su Wu.

"Brother, I'll cook then."

"What are you cooking? I'll do it!"

As he spoke, Su Wu unfastened his sword and strode quickly toward the kitchen.

It wasn't that Su Wu insisted on cooking; it was mainly because he had tasted Su Xiaohui's cooking once before, and it looked like either alchemy or poisoned food. After that, he never dared to ask Su Xiaohui to cook again.

Before long, Su Wu had cooked four dishes and a soup, and he and Su Xiaohui began to enjoy the meal.

"Our own cooking is still the best!"

Su Wu's cheeks were stuffed full, as he hadn't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.

Although food is provided inside the Demon Suppression Prison, just like the dark Demon Suppression Prison itself, even the food has this damp and cold taste, making it unpalatable no matter how you eat it.

Sitting opposite Su Wu, Su Xiaohui was also engrossed in eating.

"Exactly, your cooking is still the best."

"I never get to eat such delicious food if you don't come back."

Hearing Su Xiaohui's praise, Su Wu couldn't help but smile.

"Nizi, you should practice your skills more often, otherwise what will you do after you get married?"

"I won't marry him!" Before Su Wu could finish speaking, Su Xiaohui pouted and retorted.

"I want to stay by my brother's side and be with him for the rest of my life!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wu subconsciously reached out and rubbed Su Xiaohui's head.

"What are you saying, silly girl?"

"I rarely come home more than a few days a month, what am I supposed to do with you?"

"Why not find a respectable job..."

However, before Su Wu could finish speaking, Su Xiaohui slammed her rice bowl onto the table and pouted.

"Brother! I won't allow you to say that!"

"I told you, I won't get married!"

"I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life!"

Seeing Su Xiaohui's pouting lips, Su Wu quickly reached out and took her hand to comfort her.

"Fine, fine, I won't marry you, I'll just stay with you."

Hearing Su Wu's words of comfort, Su Xiaohui's expression softened somewhat, but she quickly added, "A lifetime!"

"Okay, for a lifetime."

Su Wu comforted his younger sister with a touch of helplessness.

Although Su Xiaohui may have said these things because she was young and ignorant.

But no matter what Su Xiaohui says or does, he supports her.

After dinner, Su Xiaohui volunteered to wash the dishes, and Su Wu did not stop her.

He wouldn't let Su Xiaohui cook, but he was comfortable letting her wash the dishes.

Most importantly, Su Wu was still preoccupied with the fleeting glimpse of Yin energy he had seen earlier.

He was somewhat worried that the malevolent energy might return.

Fortunately, that aura of malevolent energy never reappeared after that.

This gradually put Su Wu's mind at ease.

Next, I chatted with Su Xiaohui.

Su Wu shared with Su Xiaohui all the secrets he had seen in the Demon Suppression Prison during his time there.

As Su Xiaohui listened to Su Wu talk about things she had never encountered before, her eyes widened, and she listened with great interest, resting her chin on her hands.

And so it went until nightfall.

After dinner, Su Wu said goodbye to Su Xiaohui and returned to his room to rest.

Having finally returned home, he didn't want the trivial matters of cultivation to disturb his hard-won peace.

Another point is that Su Wu was afraid that his cultivation might have revealed something, and that the demon secretly watching him might discover something amiss.

Although the demon might not still be around, Su Wu decided to be cautious and not give it any openings or opportunities.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

Su Wu, who had been dozing in the room, suddenly opened his eyes.

"here we go again!"

He sensed that the malevolent energy was once again approaching his courtyard.

Upon sensing the reappearance of this malevolent energy, Su Wu did not hesitate for a moment. He picked up the sword by the window, got out of bed, and gently pushed open the door to leave.

He couldn't just passively wait for the demon to make its move, after all, his sister Su Xiaohui was still here. If the demon's target shifted from him to Su Xiaohui, things would get much worse.

With this in mind, Su Wu slipped out into the darkness and cautiously made his way towards the courtyard gate.

Based on his previous experience, Su Wu deliberately left a small crack in the courtyard gate so that he could open it at any time to launch a surprise attack.

In Su Wu's perception, the Yin energy was also creeping towards his courtyard gate, encircling the surrounding walls.

"This demon is quite law-abiding; it didn't climb over the wall but chose to use the door."

With a mental grumble, Su Wu tiptoed to the courtyard gate, one hand on the scabbard, the other gripping the hilt, his eyes narrowed, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Once that demon pushes open the door, it will definitely be caught off guard and killed by me!

No matter how advanced its cultivation is, as long as it loses the initiative, it will have a chance!

However, the malevolent energy stopped moving as soon as it reached Su Wu's door, seemingly hesitating and considering whether or not to enter.

Sensing the movement of the Yin energy outside, Su Wu couldn't help but reveal a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"What the hell? Why are you dawdling like that?"

"Since you're not coming in, I'm leaving!"

Su Wu is still unsure whether the demon is after him or Su Xiaohui.

If this problem isn't resolved, I won't be able to return to the Demon Suppression Prison with peace of mind.

Having made up his mind, Su Wu seized the moment when the malevolent aura hesitated outside, instantly stood up, kicked open the courtyard gate, and drew his sword at the same time.

Clang!

A blinding, cold light suddenly exploded in the night sky!
