Zhong Kui had a past with Prince Jing's Residence, yet as a Demon Catcher, he remained unscathed. Since ancient times, Demon Catchers were not included in the lists of those implicated in various crimes unless there was concrete evidence of their involvement. Every interaction between Zhong Kui and Prince Jing's Residence had been proven to be related to demons, but no one knew of their private friendship.
The fall of Prince Jing's Residence happened so swiftly that Zhong Kui barely had time to react. The Great Jing Dynasty soon fell into chaos, and feeling heartbroken for his friend and unwilling to get involved, Zhong Kui chose to wander far away. Years earlier, Old Vine had found Zhong Kui during his travels, claiming to help a child of the Sang family establish an identity. Naturally, Zhong Kui was willing to assist.
Setting aside his past with Prince Jing's Residence, the opportunity to form a master-disciple bond with Sang Qingxiao was advantageous for him. For several years, Zhong Kui traveled extensively to solidify Sang Qingxiao's identity. He had planned to enter Jingjing City with her when she arrived and seek justice for Prince Jing's Residence, but just as they were about to meet, he met his end while capturing a demon.
Leaving everything behind for Sang Qingxiao, Zhong Kui departed with a smile. Before entering Jingjing City, Sang Qingxiao had asked Old Vine why he would follow her.
"Though we come from different roots, we share a common origin. You’ve gained much from me—such great benefits! You know my talents are lacking; just help protect me a bit. Also, those demons in my space need protection too. If you agree, I can offer you more benefits."
"For quite some time ahead, I will be placing myself in danger. Even so, will you still follow me? Rest assured, if real danger comes, I’ll run without dragging you along."
Indeed, Old Vine’s other magical skills were lacking; however, his earth evasion technique was executed flawlessly.
When Sang Qingxiao closed her shop for the day, the outside world buzzed with chatter about Pang Manor.
The townsfolk declared it a good thing! Even if Miss Sang’s methods were ruthless—killing demons and corrupt officials who abused children—so long as she didn’t harm the common people, it was seen as beneficial. If she could eliminate more wicked demons and villains preying on the innocent, that would be even better!
However, her extraordinary methods left the officials in awe and filled them with trepidation. The day after the incident at Pang Manor, officials neglected their morning duties and flooded the court with memorials denouncing Sang Qingxiao.
Qi Xiaomian scoffed at this; he had never heard of officials using the impeachment system against common folk. "Is Sang Qingxiao just an ordinary person?"
Not having entered the court to serve as an official, nor assisting the Government or the Demon Catcher, no matter how high one's cultivation is, one still has a surname.
So what if one has a surname? Having a surname means one has even less power over life and death!
The son of a second-rank official, even if he makes a mistake, there must be evidence and proof. The court should be informed first before deciding whether to execute him. Yet that Sang Qingxiao not only executed someone in public but did so in such a manner that it stirred up a storm throughout the city. Does he not regard the court at all?
I heard that the Yongxin Marquis was present at the time. Why didn't he intervene? Could it be true, as rumored, that you have some hidden connection with that Demon Catcher?
