No matter what Jian Lin thinks in her heart, she must pretend to be calm and indifferent on her face.

For several days, Jian Lin had a very happy time eating, drinking and having fun in the high priest's mansion. He also secretly observed and collected useful information.

She discovered that the high priest had to observe the sky at night every day and do divination and fortune-telling. She didn't know what to calculate. Each time he would end up vomiting blood. But the next day, the high priest would stagger up again, dragging his half-dead body, coughing and eating.

Medicine, continue divination.

Gradually, Jian Lin began to believe the high priest's statement that he was indeed in a state of immortality.

But once she believed this, she had to believe that she was the one destined by the high priest, and Jian Lin couldn't convince herself.

At times like this, Jian Lin gritted her teeth and was filled with resentment. How could that bitch Demon Lord really leave her alone?

Instead of asking him to come and save her, at least try to find a way to send her a message and give her some advice or something.

Feeling distraught, Jian Lin decided to hold on for two more days. If there was still no news from the Demon Lord, she would escape on her own.

However, that night, Jian Lin had a turning point, the Demon Emperor arrived!

She was drinking tea with the high priest when suddenly the maid outside the door reported that the Demon Emperor was about to visit. The high priest immediately stood up and asked Jian Lin to go back to the room.

"No matter what noise happens, don't come out to see it. These things have nothing to do with you." The high priest told her, and then asked the maid to come over and escort her back.

Hey, the Demon King is here, and the high priest said he wouldn't let her see it, so she has to see it. How could she miss this?

As soon as he returned to the room, Jian Lin immediately used his invisibility function, sneaked out quietly, followed the maid, and sneaked into the high priest's study.

Said to be a study room, Jian Lin prefers to call it a divination room because there are divination things everywhere.

As soon as you walk in, there are large windows connected to the roof directly opposite. They are all opened, and you can observe the entire starry sky. There is a pure gold stargazer in the center, and below the stargazer is a huge and complicated array.

The magic circle was carved from a whole piece of precious jade that was full of aura. It was the first time Jian Lin came here. When she stepped on it, she felt a slight vibration, and the light flickered, as if it was spiritual, greeting her.

She still remembered the high priest's expression at that time, which was shocked and confused, and then smiled with relief, saying that it was right for the array to be sensitive to her.

Jian Lin smiled slightly and said nothing. In fact, he didn't believe it at all.

This magic circle belongs to the high priest, and it's not up to him to decide what reaction he wants, so don't lie to her with those little tricks.

Of course, for the sake of safety this time, Jian Lin did not dare to touch the magic circle as soon as he entered the door. He walked along the edge and hid behind a corner.

Peeping from her perspective, the high priest was sitting in the center of the formation with a calm expression. It was hard to tell what his attitude was towards the Demon Emperor, was he welcome or disgusted?

Soon, there were tidy footsteps outside the door and a knock on the door. The maid opened the study door and a tall figure slowly entered. He was the Demon King!

Jian Lin's pupils tightened, he held his breath, and squinted his eyes to look over carefully. He saw that the Demon Emperor was tall, about two meters tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. He was dressed in red brocade clothes. His hair was thick and loose, untied, and he had the wild and unruly style of a monster.

, the most important thing is that he actually wears a mask on his face.

A black mask similar to Lin Yuwei's, with no facial features, and complex patterns painted with bright red paint. Jian Lin had no doubt that the paint must be blood.

The high priest did not stand up to greet her, but simply nodded lightly, without changing his tone, as if talking to her, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

The Demon King didn't put on any airs. He lifted up his red robe and sat cross-legged opposite the high priest. He put his arms on his knees and his forehead with his palms, looking tired and painful.

"Bai Xian, I can't help it anymore," the Demon King spoke, his voice was extremely low, like thunder, "He is in Demon City, why don't you let me kill him directly?"

"Your Majesty, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. Please hold on a little longer," the high priest whispered to dissuade, "Besides, he is too powerful, you can't kill him."

"I can't kill him, but you and I can work together." The Demon King straightened up, like a hill, and the shadow shrouded the high priest, as if to devour him, "Bai Xian, why did you reject me? I heard that you will kill him

Did you catch that woman next to you?"

Hearing this, Jian Lin's heart skipped a beat before she realized that the person the Demon Emperor wanted to kill was the Demon Lord! It turned out that the Demon Emperor had known that he was coming!

"You join forces with me to kill him, just to relieve His Majesty's temporary pain," the high priest slowly raised his eyes, his eyes calm and fearless, "And I captured that woman just to hold a trump card to prevent that person from making mistakes.

You are cruel and have hurt Your Majesty."

The Demon King did not speak, and was silent for a long time. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the high priest's neck, and lifted him up to look at him levelly. "Human beings are really strange. One person can hold back and endure or even give his life for another person. Bai Xian, if

I believe in the bond between people, so I must doubt you. Why did you bring that woman back to you? Do you miss the feeling between people? Are you going to betray me? "

Jian Lin reached out and bit his finger. It seemed that the Demon King did not know what the so-called destined person said.

"Your Majesty, I am no longer a human being." The high priest stretched out his hand and pulled open his sleeve. It was covered with black runes, and he didn't know where they extended. "I have no heartbeat, and the blood no longer flows. It's the demon pill that makes

I am not corrupt, Your Majesty. In the three realms, only you and I are the same, and I will never betray you."

Jian Lin was confused after hearing this. Could it be that the high priest's statement about living or dying was true, and so did the Demon Emperor?

Wait, Bai Mei bragged to Hongqu that he knew a secret of the Demon Emperor, does he mean this? Is the Demon Emperor also a human being?

The Demon Emperor let go of Bai Xian and said slowly, "I can trust you, but you have to hand that woman over to me. But don't worry, I won't kill her. She will only be put on death row. You can go at any time."

visit."

Jian Lin's heart suddenly rose to her throat, High Priest! I am your destined person! You have to be tougher! She doesn't want to go to jail!

"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's order," Bai Xian said obediently, "Your Majesty, please believe in me and our plan."

"I believe in you," the Demon King suddenly stood up, and a shadow enveloped the whole room, "Bai Xian, I hope you won't disappoint me."

The high priest bent down and bowed deeply, "I will always surrender to His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

The Demon Emperor said no more, turned and left the study.

The room returned to silence, and the candle suddenly burst into flames, and a snap suddenly called Jian Lin back.

She straightened up and stared blankly at the high priest, who was still kneeling in a posture of worship. She hated iron, she didn't want to go to jail, she wanted to escape now!

Holding his breath, he moved outward step by step. When he reached the door, the high priest suddenly spoke.

"Abei, you can't leave. The Demon King has ordered Linyu Guards to surround the mansion. I will hand you over to them." The high priest straightened up and said.

Jian Lin was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at her body. She was still invisible. Why could the high priest recognize her?

"You have my mark on your body," the high priest lowered his eyes and whispered, "You are very powerful. Even the Demon Emperor can't identify your spells, but I can. I knew it from the moment you walked in."

Having said this, Jian Lin no longer hid, canceled the invisibility function, and faced the high priest directly.

"Why?" Jian Lin asked in confusion, "Since you know I'm here, you still want me to hear so many of your secrets?"

"Come and sit with me," the high priest looked at her, with a tenderness in his dark eyes, "after dawn, you will leave my mansion and go to the death row. It will be difficult to meet again."

Jian Lin was reluctant at all. Who wanted to see him? He was so pretentious. But when he thought that she still had questions to ask, he finally walked over obediently, deliberately avoiding the spot where the Demon Emperor was just now, and went to the other side.

.

The high priest chuckled softly, coordinated her change of direction, and answered her question, "It must be God's will that you have the ability to sneak in. God's will allows you to know these secrets, and I have no right to stop you."

Jian Lin was not convinced. She frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is it true or false that I am your destined person? Why don't you tell the Demon Emperor the truth?"

"Because the more people know about it, the more backlash I receive. Only you and I know about this," the high priest said jokingly, "Abe, if you want me to suffer more, tell everyone about this."

Man, I will be punished for revealing secrets."

Jian Lin looked at him steadily, with confused thoughts in her mind, and said angrily, "Don't worry, I will never do it, because I don't believe it, and even if it is true, I will not save you.

Let you get rid of your current state of neither death nor life, neither human nor monster."

The high priest shook his head and said firmly, "No, you will free me."

Jian Lin was furious and was too lazy to argue with him. He continued to ask what he wanted to know, "High Priest, you divined the Dragon Pill. Does it exist?"

"It's both a heavenly secret. If you believe it, you won't." The high priest looked out the window at the starry sky. "I have already done everything I can do. The next step is up to all of you who are destined to do it."

Jian Lin originally had a lot of questions to ask, but then she suddenly realized that this bastard would not tell her anything anymore.

"Okay," Jian Lin stood up, turned around and walked out, "I'm going to death row, don't come see me."

"Abei," the high priest suddenly stood up. He coughed violently because he stood up too hard. He suppressed it and said in a hoarse voice, "Abei, thank you for the past few days. Thank you for chatting, drinking tea and eating snacks with me.

"

Jian Lin suddenly turned around and saw the high priest clutching his chest, a trace of blood spilling from his lips, and a look of sorrow and pain on his face.

Such a conflicted person, such a entangled person, such a pitiful person.

Jian Lin wanted to ask him, if he couldn't bear it, why didn't he go with her? Why did he swear to surrender to the Demon Emperor forever?
