Chapter 918: His One-man Show

Jiang Wanlin and the other two looked at each other.
None of them answered. Jiang Wanlin went forward to check carefully on the white fox in the cage.
The white fox was hurt and was especially timid and afraid. As soon as someone touched the cage, it shrank further away and tried its best to stay away from humans.
Jiang Wanlin could not sense any demonic aura or spiritual energy fluctuations. This was indeed a white fox, but this was just an ordinary white fox. The white fox that broke its tail after being stabbed by her last night was the real demon. Clearly, the one in front of her was not the same one as the one she had stabbed.
However, Old Master Han was so aggressive. Didn’t he know that the two foxes were not the same?
This stupid thought only flashed across Jiang Wanlin’s mind for a moment before she rejected it. Old Master Han definitely knew. He was bewitched by a demon, so how could he not know? But why did he do this today?
Jiang Wanlin thought about it carefully and understood. Old Master Han had found a substitute, the white fox, to protect the demon. He had put on this show today to let them know that this white fox was not a demon.
What a stupid move.
Jiang Wanlin, Wang Mingyue, and Fang Lan exchanged glances. Seeing the smile in their eyes, Jiang Wanlin knew that they understood Old Master Han’s show just like her. The three of them had such a tacit understanding, so the three of them reached an agreement with a few glances.
If Old Master Han wanted to trick them and protect the real demon, they could also get up and lure the demon out through Old Master Han. They could break his lie in one go and eliminate the demon.
“Look, look carefully. If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t let you off!”
Old Master Han’s expression was unfriendly and his tone was fierce.
Jiang Wanlin frowned slightly and even took out her enchanted armament to test it. She kept changing positions and looked very serious.
However, she seemed to have encountered a problem. Wang Mingyue and Fang Lan also went forward to investigate like Jiang Wanlin.
Old Master Han narrowed his scheming eyes and asked calmly, “How is it? Have you tested it?”
This was an ordinary fox. It was impossible for the people of the Mystic Sect to find anything. Even if there was really something different about this fox, it was fine if the people of the Mystic Sect killed it. It was used to protect his darling anyway.
Old Master Han’s question made the atmosphere even more tense.
Old Master Han even turned to look at Mrs. Han and said to her, “Madam, how many times have I told you? How can animals in this world become spirits so easily? Demons cultivate in the deep mountains. How can we encounter so many? Now, do you believe me?”
Mrs. Han’s expression was cold. She looked at Old Master Han and did not answer him. She just looked at him.
Her cold and strange gaze made Old Master Han feel very uncomfortable. He snorted coldly and turned his head to look away. He continued to urge, “The three of you, how long do you have to see it? Could it be that if you don’t speak, I’ll have to continue to watch with you?”
“How strange, Junior Sister. There’s no reaction from my enchanted armament.
Could it be that this demon is hiding too deeply?”
Wang Mingyue winked at Jiang Wanlin. Her sly gaze was instantly understood by Jiang Wanlin.
Jiang Wanlin took out the broken fox tail and said calmly, “I can’t tell anything for the time being, so I can only try an exorcism. With a countermeasure, it will definitely make the demon suffer.”
Fang Lan clapped her hands. “Then let’s get ready.”
The three of them cooperated well. They put down the broken fox tail and quickly took out all kinds of armaments. They burned them with fire, hammered them with hammers, froze them with ice, poked them with knives, and so on.
Old Master Han’s expression changed subtly. He really wanted to interfere and not let them do this, but if he did this now, wouldn’t it arouse suspicion? How could he save his darling?
She inadvertently glanced at Mrs. Han and realized that her gaze was cold as she stared at the fox tail with intense hatred.
Old Master Han frowned, pursed his lips, and endured it.
The fox in the cage was tightly in the corner, its eyes filled with fear.
The three of them quickly tortured that tail until it was unrecognizable. In the end, it was burned to ashes. Only then did the three of them sigh with dust on their faces. They looked at the fox in the cage and said, “Looks like this really isn’t a demon.”
Old Master Han endured for a long time and finally heard this sentence. He immediately felt proud and said coldly to them, “Are you all sure? There are no demons in our residence. On account that you’re young and inexperienced, I won’t hold it against you this time. You guys take care.”
Jiang Wanlin, Wang Mingyue, and Fang Lan smiled and nodded humbly.
Fang Lan immediately said, “Master Han, you’re magnanimous. We’ll definitely be careful in the future. We definitely won’t wrong any ordinary animals, and we definitely won’t let off any harmful demons.”
Old Master Han looked at Mrs. Han and said coldly, “Madam, you saw it, right? We’ve been husband and wife for many years, and I can’t be bothered to argue with you. Now that we’ve investigated and understood, no one is to disturb me. I’m going to bring my baby out to see a doctor now.”
Old Master Han wanted to scold Mrs. Han a few more times, but he remembered his darling, so he held back. The most important thing now was to send his darling out safely.
Old Master Han glared at Mrs. Han and left with the cage.
His movements were so big that the fox in the cage was so frightened that it paced around the cage anxiously. The cage swayed, and it did not know which corner was the safest. Its feet made it extremely uneasy.
After Old Master Han left, tears streamed down Mrs. Han’s face. She laughed sarcastically. “Heh… How ridiculous…”
Jiang Wanlin and the others looked at her and were a little moved.
Her family had been destroyed by the demon, but was it because of the demon’s bewitchment, or was that person disloyal to begin with?
The human heart was unpredictable. No matter how many years it had been, no one knew what kind of person the other party was until the end.
“Even I can see through such a clumsy show, but he thinks he can hide it. Ridiculous, pathetic…”
Mrs. Han closed her eyes and felt a discomfort in her throat. She didn’t care that Old Master Han had a change of heart. What she was angry and in pain about was her son. How could they sacrifice her son, whom she had carried for ten months, to fulfill their wish?
“My condolences, Madam. It will be over soon. When Madam is far away from such people, she will definitely have a good life from now on. With your daughter, everything will be fine.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Mrs. Han and couldn’t help but comfort her. She handed over a pill and said, “Madam, do you still want to see the outcome of the demon personally?”
Mrs. Han took the pill and stuffed it into her mouth. She said resolutely, “Of course I want to. I want to personally watch that demon be executed to comfort my son’s spirit in heaven..”
