It turns out, they were the main characters.

Lan Mulian raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Mu Zhian unintentionally.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, looked at Bai Ruoxi, and said, "Since there is no problem with the pill, then you should take it. This Void Pill is quite troublesome to refine. Such a valuable thing is being given to us for free. If we don't take it, wouldn't it be a disservice to Young Master Ye's hard work?"

Bai Ruoxi unconsciously clenched her fists, which were hidden in her sleeves.

If the Void Pill is truly as rumored, causing demonic energy to overflow from the body after ingestion, then in front of so many people... even Mu Zhi'an would likely find it difficult to reverse the situation.

But with so many people watching, if I don't take this pill... wouldn't that be like a guilty conscience?

Bai Ruoxi is now in a dilemma.

Ye Yu's "sneak attack" this time was truly ruthless.

"Young man from the Ye family, if this proves that my daughter is alright, you'd better wait and see." Father Bai stared at Ye Yu with a gloomy expression.

Ye Yu said respectfully, "Uncle, please be patient. If Miss Bai is confirmed to be a demon cultivator, then I'm afraid you will also need to investigate."

After all, Bai Ruoxi is Bai's father's biological daughter. If Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, then Bai's father and even Bai Yuanfeng will probably suffer misfortune in the future.

"Besides, didn't I specifically refine this Void Pill to prove the truth of this matter?"

After saying that, Ye Yu turned to Bai Ruoxi and gestured, "Miss Bai, please."

Bai Ruoxi stared at Ye Yu in silence for a long time before she raised her hand slightly and swallowed the Void Pill that was floating in mid-air.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly as she suddenly noticed a wisp of pink smoke quietly rising in the air.

Demon!

A wisp of pink demonic energy emanated from Bai Ruoxi's body!

This scene caused everyone present to change color, and Bai's father's face also became terribly gloomy, his eyes fixed on Ye Yu.

A confident smile appeared on Ye Yu's face.

He had repeatedly consulted his "teacher" and spent a fortune to find the ingredients for the Void Pill, going through countless hardships to finally refine this valuable Void Pill.

If one wasn't absolutely certain, how could one possibly expose it in this setting?

“Miss Bai, it seems my judgment was correct.” Ye Yu looked at Bai Ruoxi, whose lips had lost all color, and spoke slowly.

Her pale face had lost some color and become even paler, making the already delicate and aloof girl appear even more sickly.

"It really is demonic energy..." Gongsun Ping stared intently at the delicate beauty, seemingly in disbelief.

Master Huang's eyes narrowed slightly. Even though he had heard about this from the Chamber of Commerce's retainers before, he was still somewhat surprised when he actually saw this scene.

"You all previously surrounded and attacked a demon cultivator. Now that you think about it, could that demon cultivator have had more than one companion?" Ye Yu asked again.

Bai Ruoxi suddenly raised her head, stared at Ye Yu, and said coldly, "I have never cooperated with any demon cultivator in private!"

"This isn't something you can decide on your own, Miss Bai." Ye Yu looked at Lan Mulian and said, "Senior Sister, how do you think this matter should be judged?"

Lan Mulian ignored him, her gaze casually falling on Bai Ruoxi, and was about to speak.

At this moment, Mu Zhian seemed unable to suppress his laughter and suddenly chuckled softly.

"What are you still pretending for at a time like this..." Ye Yu stared intently at Mu Zhi'an, his face dark: "Young Master Mu, you have a close relationship with the demon cultivator in private, and this matter may also be related to you."

Mu Zhian pointed to the wisp of pink smoke that had already dissipated in the air, shook his head and laughed, "Young Master Ye, do you think this is demonic energy?"

"if not?"

“I think this is spiritual energy,” Mu Zhian said earnestly, looking at the pink smoke drifting in the air.

"You're spouting nonsense!" Ye Yu retorted angrily.

Mu Zhi'an countered, "Wasn't my luck test result pink just now? Does that mean I'm also a demon cultivator?"

Ye Yu frowned deeply.

This guy was clearly being unreasonable, but he just didn't know how to refute him.

Mu Zhian looked up at Lan Mulian and said, "Senior Sister, could you please take out that testing tablet again?"

Lan Mulian nodded silently, took out the test tablet, which was only the size of a palm, and gently threw it on the ground.

The dark stone tablet then quietly magnified.

Mu Zhian stretched out his palm and touched the test marker.

At this moment, the test monument once again emitted a faint pink light.

Bathed in pink light, Mu Zhian turned to look at Lan Mulian and said, "Senior Sister, if color alone can prove a demon cultivator's identity, then wouldn't I also be a demon cultivator?"

“I know that the Qi Observation Technique of the Liangyi Sect is one of its most unique skills. Senior Sister, you can check my identity,” Mu Zhian continued.

Noticing that everyone's gaze was directed at her, Lan Mulian picked up a talisman, burned it, and a faint golden light appeared in her clear eyes. She calmly swept her gaze over Mu Zhian.

In that instant, everyone seemed to see a faint white light emanating from Mu Zhian's body.

That was the spiritual energy of human cultivators.

“He is not a demon.” Lan Mulian finally came to this conclusion.

Mu Zhian laughed and said, "Since I am not a demon but exude pink aura, then why must the pink smoke that Miss Bai just emitted be demonic aura?"

Mu Zhian turned to the patriarchs and elders of the families behind him and humbly asked for their guidance:

"I believe you are all fair, just, and righteous people. What do you think is the pink smoke in Bai Ruoxi's body—is it demonic energy or spiritual energy?"

The acting patriarch of the Gongsun family slightly raised his eyelids and glanced inadvertently at Lan Mulian, who had a cold expression but remained silent.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he stroked his beard and smiled, "To me, that looks like ordinary spiritual energy."

“Indeed, I have heard in the past that some cultivators have special physiques and different spiritual energy in their bodies than others. Therefore, they are sometimes mistaken for demon cultivators, but in reality, they are just human cultivators.”

“Indeed, this is spiritual energy.” Master Huang smiled and nodded.

"That's right, it's spiritual energy."

“How could Miss Bai be a demon cultivator? She is the pride of our Tianxuan City.”

Subsequently, people began to speak out, all believing that it was spiritual energy rather than demonic energy.

Bai Ruoxi stared in astonishment at the scene. Even she hadn't expected the situation to turn around so easily.

Mu Zhian turned to look at Ye Yu, whose face was grim, and asked, enunciating each word clearly and firmly, "Young Master Ye, I'd like to ask you another question,"

"Do you think this is spiritual energy or demonic energy?"

Chapter 85 This world is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

Mu Zhian's voice rang out clearly in the attic, plunging Ye Yu into silence.

"The wisp of pink smoke inside Miss Bai Ruoxi's body is just a special spiritual energy, not demonic energy."

Mu Zhian spoke again: "Although it looks like demonic energy, it is actually different from demonic energy."

"Young Master Ye, what do you think?" He looked calmly at Ye Yu.

After Mu Zhian went to see Lan Mulian and heard the answer he wanted from her, whether Bai Ruoxi was a demon cultivator or not was no longer so important.

When everyone believes she is not a demon cultivator, then she is not.

This matter is actually related to Bai Ruoxi's talent to some extent.

She is a genius that comes along only once in a century, and even the Liangyi Sect has to take her seriously. Moreover, Lan Mulian is not the kind of person who sticks to the old ways and is pedantic.

Given Bai Ruoxi's current achievements and such great fortune, as long as she doesn't do anything to harm Dongzhou in the future, even if the Liangyi Sect knows that there is a wisp of demonic energy in her body, they will still protect her.

As for the Bai family, the Liangyi Sect may conduct a secret investigation afterward, but as long as it is confirmed that the Bai family has not colluded with the demon cultivators of the Northern Continent, they will be safe and sound.

All of this was caused by Bai Ruoxi's talent and the relationship between Mu Zhi'an and Lan Mulian.

Of course, if the higher-ups of Tianxuan City use the fact that Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator as an excuse to make trouble, then no matter how powerful the Liangyi Sect is, it will be illegitimate. Therefore, they will have to find a legitimate reason to protect Bai Ruoxi.

However, given the Mu family's status and position in Tianxuan City, as long as Mu Zhian makes the request, the higher-ups in Tianxuan City will readily grant it.

No one would go against the tide in this situation.

This matter is now an inevitable trend. Among the family elders and patriarchs present, some know that Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, while others do not.

But now, even those who know the truth will pretend not to know.

Those who feign ignorance are geniuses; those who are straightforward and want revenge on Bai Ruoxi are fools.

Coincidentally, there was this fool who believed that he was the only one who had discovered Bai Ruoxi's secret.

Little did they know, many of the cultivators present had already noticed this.

Ye Yu stared intently at Mu Zhi'an and said coldly, "You anticipated this all along?"

Mu Zhian shook his head slightly and said seriously, "Young Master Ye, I don't understand what you're saying."

"I am just an honest person who has been framed and now wants to make a statement in court to prove my innocence and that of Bai Ruoxi."

Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "Even if everyone here is on your side and joins the sect, I can still inform the sect leader."

Mu Zhian shook his head and chuckled inwardly.

Ye Yu still doesn't understand the situation.

Even if you report it to the Liangyi Sect, it won't do any good.

Bai Ruoxi's talent has already determined that she will not be punished in any way.

In the past, Mu Zhian would have been a little unsure.

However, Lan Mulian had previously mentioned that her master, the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect, had said something like, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible." This shows that the sect leader was not someone who rigidly adhered to the rules.

The wisp of demonic energy in Bai Ruoxi's cauldron meant that she was a "half-demon"... or to put it more cutely, a "fox-eared girl".

There is an irreconcilable conflict between cultivators and demon cultivators, but there are occasional exceptions.

Bai Ruoxi was the exception.

Her talent, combined with Lan Mulian's judgment, was enough to make the Liangyi Sect turn a blind eye.

Mu Zhian sighed softly and said helplessly, "Young Master Ye, you kept saying that Bai Ruoxi was a demon cultivator. We didn't want to argue with you because we believed that justice would prevail and that Senior Sister Lan would give us an explanation."

"Then you used an Emptiness Pill to try to prove Bai Ruoxi's identity as a demon cultivator, but it was still to no avail. Now, everyone, including Senior Sister Lan, has confirmed that Miss Bai Ruoxi is not a demon cultivator, yet you still doubt her."

Mu Zhian said coldly, "Are you questioning the judgment of everyone present?"

These words struck Ye Yu like a hammer blow, causing his face to drain of color.
