Sang Qingxiao only looked at Zhou Yunjin, "What about you? Even if I could save it, you don't want me to get involved?"
When no answer came, Sang Qingxiao scoffed. "Is it really that you don't want anyone to know that the Black General is a demon? How selfish. The Black General doesn't covet your achievements, your wealth, or your reputation, and certainly not you as a person. It merely wants to fight for its life. Why push it to this extent?"
"Zhou Yunjin, when the incident occurred, you had a choice. You could have hidden the Black General and killed Su Mengmeng instead. She provided you with the body of the black panther and even crafted a story for you. All you needed to do was change the names in the story and leverage your military authority. Couldn’t you have saved the Black General's life?"
Su Mengmeng stood in front of Zhou Yunjin, "What gives you the right to say that, Brother Yunjin?"
Sang Qingxiao was annoyed by her presence. With a gust of wind, she attempted to send Su Mengmeng flying. Su Mengmeng did indeed fly away but remained unscathed. Sang Qingxiao furrowed her brow and noticed that Su Mengmeng carried a protective talisman given by an elder, indicating that she held a significant position within the Su Family.
But so what? If she hadn't held back, the talisman would have shattered.
In mid-air, Su Mengmeng struggled to stabilize herself, feeling both angry and embarrassed. However, her anger didn’t cloud her judgment; she quickly realized that her opponent was stronger than her! Yet she had her own means of defense. She took out a long-hidden talisman and threw it at Sang Qingxiao with a pained expression. The talisman she threw had considerable power, and she intentionally aimed it slightly off-target to include the Black General within its activation range.
Just as a triumphant smile began to form on Su Mengmeng's lips, her eyes suddenly widened in shock. The conflict in her expression made her face twitch awkwardly, but she had no time to dwell on that; she blinked rapidly, convinced she must have seen it wrong.
The talisman did not activate; not only did that woman remain unharmed, but the talisman was also obediently pinched between her fingers. She glanced at it disdainfully and sneered.
"Is this all your Su Family can produce? Your strokes are inconsistent and lack fluidity; even the spiritual energy is misaligned. Ordinary vermilion could achieve better results, yet due to insufficient skill, you've barely managed to create this talisman."
Sang Qingxiao shot a glance at Su Mengmeng. They said the Demon Catching Families had fallen from grace; I didn't quite believe it until I encountered those sneaky Huang Family members. I thought they were just an exception. But now seeing you and observing the Su Family's talismans—ha! You're even worse than the Huang Family.
Among many Demon Catching Families, the Su Family indeed ranked low. Years ago, they had their glory days, but their descendants have proven disappointing. Under Su Mengmeng's grandfather's generation, their decline became even more severe. The members of the Su Family failed to look for reasons within their own cultivation and instead blamed women.
They believed that marrying too many ordinary women led to increasingly impure bloodlines. In reality, throughout history, among those who earned the title of Demon Catcher, very few had both parents as Demon Catchers.
The Su Family thought this way and acted accordingly. Years later, they produced a batch of so-called pure-blood children; however, tests revealed no significant results.
Confounded by this outcome, they strayed further from their path and began casting their nets wide, thinking that if they had more children, there would surely be a few with talent.
Su Mengmeng managed to gain favor in such an environment not only due to some talent but also because she learned early on how to read others' expressions—knowing when to be proud and when to bow her head.
Sang Qingxiao's harsh words left Su Mengmeng unable to refute or dare challenge them; after all, the talisman she threw at Sang Qingxiao was something she had begged Elder Four for a long time.
To Riri, it was like treasure; yet in Sang Qingxiao's eyes, it was worth nothing.
Su Mengmeng knew that Sang Qingxiao was someone she couldn't provoke—likely someone even the Su Family couldn't afford to offend—and thus dared not entertain thoughts of killing the Black General again. Instead, she stood there tremblingly, trying to diminish her presence.
Sang Qingxiao tossed the talisman into the air again and reached into it with an empty grasp. She pulled out a twisted thread of blood that seemed desperate to escape; once it left the talisman’s range, it dissipated into thin air.
Sang Qingxiao spoke again: "Su Mengmeng, the medicine you fed the Black General contained forbidden drugs—it's one of the prohibited substances in Caution Tablets! This matter requires an explanation from your Su Family in Jingjing City. For now, I will temporarily entrust this drop of Heart's Blood to Yong Huai, the head of Demon Catchers here in Jingjing City."
