"Brother Yunjin, you must have seen through my plans by now, but everything I've done is for you. If others find out about your connection with the demon..."
Zhou Yunjin interrupted her, "No one will know. Let's just pretend nothing has happened."
"How could no one know? Everyone knows it’s a demon, yet you still protect it," Su Mengmeng's voice unintentionally sharpened.
"Brother Yunjin, I am actually from the Demon Catching Family, the Su Family. I’ve known for a long time that Xiao Hei is a demon. I initially planned to look the other way. But you are about to enter Jingjing City, where there are many Demon Catchers. Once Xiao Hei shows up, the news of it being a demon will spread like wildfire."
"At that time, how will others view you? How will they view the Wuyuan Marquisate? People might say that your achievements were all aided by demons, or they might claim that the Wuyuan Marquisate has no heirs and has allied with demons to maintain its title."
"Su Mengmeng! That’s too alarmist!"
"Brother Yunjin, this isn’t alarmist. You’ve been in the borderlands since childhood and haven’t dealt with the deceit of officialdom. Xiao Hei being a demon is a huge leverage; if discovered by political enemies of the Wuyuan Marquisate, their attacks would be far more dangerous than what I just mentioned."
Su Mengmeng's words began to shake Zhou Yunjin's resolve.
"Then you don’t need to scheme so much. I won’t let Xiao Hei come out."
"After saying all this, you still think about being together?" Su Mengmeng shattered his unrealistic thoughts. "Xiao Hei is already celebrated as the Black General. Once you enter Jingjing City, you will have to meet the emperor. If His Majesty wants to see the Black General, what excuse will you use to refuse? Refusing once or twice is fine, but if it happens repeatedly, someone will catch on."
Zhou Yunjin pondered for a moment and reluctantly said, "Xiao Hei belongs to the mountains; letting it go is best. We’ll just say we encountered a strong enemy while hunting in the mountains and that Xiao Hei was lost protecting my remains."
"You’re still thinking ahead, Brother Yunjin. I was too anxious and came up with such a terrible idea," Su Mengmeng changed her expression to one of difficulty and guilt. "I already told the Warriors that the Black General was killed by an assassin. What should we do now?"
"We’ll just say it was a mistake."
"What if the Warriors want to see the Black General?"
Zhou Yunjin frowned. "It should be able to change back."
"Brother Yunjin, Mengmeng made a mistake. To make things seem more realistic, I gave Xiao Hei some medicine; it can’t change back for now."
"However, I didn’t intend to take Xiao Hei’s life. Killing the Black General appointed by His Majesty is a serious crime; it would definitely lead to an investigation in Jingjing City. On our way there, I can incite hatred against it among the Warriors. In the chaos, we can take advantage and let Xiao Hei escape while leaving behind a body that looks trampled."
"You’re overextending yourself!" Zhou Yunjin criticized.
"Brother Yunjin, I'm not as clever as you. Just thinking of these things has been quite an effort for me."
Zhou Yunjin felt he couldn’t scold her too harshly. "I’ll explain this matter outside."
Su Mengmeng held him back and said, "This matter started because of me, so let it be on me."
Zhou Yunjin unexpectedly patted her head and replied, "Just remember that from now on, you must discuss everything with me first. Don't act on your own anymore. I will handle the matters outside."
