He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 696 Tell the News to Qing 1

The fourth brother wore a faint smile, his eyes revealing a hint of amusement. Suddenly, without warning, he raised his hand and, with a "slap," gave one of the demons a solid slap. The crisp sound was particularly piercing in the silent night. The demons were all stunned by this sudden slap, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion.

The fourth brother knew that he had to pretend to be very imposing now.

The beaten demon covered his face and said with a bit of grievance and fear, "Sir, we are only here on patrol under orders. It is our duty to know your identity. Please don't make things difficult for us." The fourth one snorted coldly and took out the waist badge given to him by Liu Si from his pocket without any nonsense. He waved it in front of the demons and asked in a bad tone, "Now? Do you recognize this thing?"

The demons took a closer look and their faces suddenly changed. They recognized the badge as belonging to the Liu family. They hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying fawningly, "Sir, we were truly blind to the truth. We didn't realize you were a demon from the Liu family. We apologize for any offense we've caused, but please forgive us. We'll leave now, right now." With that, the demons turned away dejectedly.

The fourth brother simply glanced in the direction they had just been patrolling, and seeing nothing unusual, he turned and hurried away without saying anything else. He knew that the sect leader was still there, and he had the responsibility of protecting him, so he couldn't linger here for too long.

Elsewhere, He Yuzhu looked at Liu Si, whose face was flushed and eyes were blurry from drinking, and patted him on the shoulder gently, saying, "Brother Liu Si, let's call it a day. It's getting late, but don't forget there's a competition tomorrow." Liu Si smiled drunkenly, his tongue a little tied, and mumbled, "Okay... okay! Then... let's see how that human can continue to cheat and dare to go against our demon race, humph!"

He Yuzhu smiled helplessly, called Liu Si's men, and ordered, "You guys, send Master Liu Si back, and be careful on the way." The men responded and supported Liu Si and slowly left. He Yuzhu watched their backs as they walked away, then slowly walked towards his residence.

As soon as he reached the door, Xiaoli came to greet him. She looked at He Yuzhu's drunken face, frowned slightly, and said angrily, "Yuzhu, why did you drink so much again? Is it worth it for those human beings who have nothing to do with you? Look at you, you are always like this." He Yuzhu smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of depth and determination. He said, "You don't understand, Xiaoli. I do this not only to save those human beings, but also to save you."

Xiao Li looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled look on his face, tilting his head and asking, "What do you mean by that? I don't understand." He Yuzhu sighed softly, looked at Xiao Li, and said seriously, "Think about it, the demon race is now conquering everywhere, committing too much bloodshed. If this continues, it will inevitably arouse public outrage, and the entire demon race may face the crisis of extinction. Only if I find a way to stop this, so that humans and demons can put aside their past grudges and coexist peacefully, this is the most important thing to do right now."

Xiaoli listened quietly to He Yuzhu's words, a wave of emotion welling up in her heart. She looked at him, thinking to herself: He Yuzhu must be doing this for me. After all, I was his first friend in the demon tribe, and other than that, he didn't really have anyone else close to him. Thinking of this, Xiaoli's eyes grew more moved and tender.

Xiaoli frowned slightly, a hint of worry and confusion in his eyes. He looked at He Yuzhu and asked softly, "Yuzhu, if I do as you say, will I become a traitor to the demon race?"

He Yuzhu smiled gently, patted Xiaoli's shoulder, and said, "Xiaoli, please stop letting your imagination run wild. How can you be considered a traitor? You have to understand, if we allow the current situation to continue, and if you ignore this matter, a war between the human and demon races will inevitably break out. Once a war breaks out, it will surely bring devastation and countless casualties. We are doing our best to prevent tragedy from happening. We are doing a great thing."

He Yuzhu was actually filled with helplessness and confusion. He really didn't understand why the demons and humans couldn't coexist peacefully. But in the current situation, he could only rack his brains to find a way to get the demons to return to their own territory and avoid further escalation of the conflict.

Xiaoli and He Yuzhu were chatting away, discussing seemingly irrelevant but actually important topics. At that moment, the fourth brother quietly returned like a ghost and whispered, "Boss, I'm back."

When Xiaoli heard Lao Si's voice, he realized that it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer, so he forced a smile and said to He Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, you'd better be careful. After all, this is the territory of the demon clan. There are demons everywhere. You never know when you will be discovered. I'll go back first." He Yuzhu nodded in understanding and said nothing more.

After Xiaoli left, He Yuzhu immediately turned his gaze to the fourth brother and asked anxiously, "How's it going, fourth brother? Have you contacted Elder Qingyi?" The fourth brother nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, boss. Elder Qingyi said that in order to resolve this troublesome matter, we must first understand the origin of this sealing formation. Only then can we find the right remedy and a solution."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly unloaded every detail he knew about the formation, including its appearance, its characteristics when cast, its effect on mana, and so on. He then looked at the Fourth Elder with a serious expression and said solemnly, "If there's a chance tomorrow, you must tell Elder Qingyi everything in detail and see if he has any ideas for a solution. Remember, tell Elder Qingyi that I don't have much time left. The demon clan could make a major move at any moment, so we need to hurry and come up with a countermeasure." The Fourth Elder nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood He Yuzhu's intentions.

In this tense atmosphere, the night passed quietly. The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window. He Yuzhu had just finished washing up when Liu Si walked in with a carefree smile on his face. "Brother Yuzhu, let's go! You promised me yesterday that you would treat me to a drink today. I've got it in mind."
