"Fine! I'll make it up to you. As long as you work with me to track down and eliminate the culprit, you'll be well rewarded," Sun Xiangyuan said coldly. "But don't push your luck. We're dealing with a demon here. If we mess this up, the Profound Jade Immortal Alliance won't be forgiving."
"Relax. I know where the line is," Lu Tingyun said with a calm smile.
Sun Xiangyuan took a deep breath and gave a short nod.
"Did you find out anything else? Maybe from the cultivators who scattered?" Lu Tingyun asked.
"You think a demon that was secretly using my Sun Tianlin would let a bunch of nobodies learn anything?" Sun Xiangyuan scoffed and waved his hand. "Go ahead, question them if you want. I promise you—they don't know a thing."
"Daoist Lu Tingyun, time is short. Please, get started," he said urgently.
"I'll begin with a divination. We'll talk more after that," Lu Tingyun replied, frowning slightly. She knew he was too worked up for a proper discussion, so she left it at that.
