Chapter 872 - The Usual Way of the Demons (1/2)

”Xiao Dong …” Liu Cheng pondered but he didn't feel like he had heard anything about him. ”Who is he?”

Ma Zhi Wu lowered his gaze. He didn't mind telling them about Qiu Ling since there wasn't much to say that they didn't know yet and he was sure that Qiu Ling would be saved if something happened to him. With Xiao Dong, things were a little different. He was only a simple disciple of the inner sect, not even a head disciple like himself. Who would go and look for him if he was kidnapped by the Chun Feng Sect? This was much more dangerous than giving out information about Qiu Ling. Unfortunately, he couldn't stay quiet.

”He was originally a disciple of the outer sect. If I'm not wrong, he was taking in with that other disciple I already told you about. Later on, the two of them were brought to the inner sect by Elder Wang.”

”Who is the other disciple?”

Ma Zhi Wu shook his head. ”You can try to find out on your own. I will accept that you try to go against these so-called 'demons' since that's what you do but I won't help you involve others.”

Liu Cheng scoffed. ”What a bold thing to say after you had us involve Nian Hong Fang.”

Ma Zhi Wu's eyes narrowed. ”I don't think you can compare that at all. Xiao Fang and I —”

”There is no Nian Hong Fang and you. You've just used him so don't try to use that as an excuse.”

Ma Zhi Wu harrumphed and turned his face away. There was no use in talking with these people. They wouldn't understand. They were too insistent on their own perception of everyone with demonic blood being evil. Regardless of what he said or did, he wouldn't be able to convince them. He was already prejudged, unable to influence the final verdict they would give. It had been like that five years ago and it was still that way now. Nothing would change about this.

Liu Cheng furrowed his brows when Ma Zhi Wu stopped talking. ”What? Do you want to go back on your word now? We should have expected that I guess.”

Ma Zhi Wu sighed and looked up at the ceiling, feeling defeated. There was nothing he could do. This kind of helplessness … it didn't suit him at all but he didn't know how to change his situation. ”I'm not going back on my word. I just don't want you to hurt somebody else.”
