Fake Demon Lord [BL]

17 - You Can't Have Both Brains And Face, That's Why He Chose To Forgo Face

A tree without its bark would inevitably die; a person without their face was invincible. Today, he would discard his face and fully play with the Jianghu's righteous side.

Just thinking about it helped the stuffiness alleviate a bit. He Ku earnestly listened to Xiu Niang as she recited all the information she had on the major sects. Suddenly, he heard that the Heaven's Pavilion Library offered free medical advice and diagnostics to the normal people on the fifteenth of every month and he ordered, "Go and tell the disciples that know how to use poison and medicine to learn carefully and have them open a free hospital with a poster that says 'Public Health is Important'."

Most of the famous doctors in the Jianghu were terrified of demonic cultivators and therefore weren't willing to offer any aid. This caused quite a few demonic cultivators to know how to heal. But looking at He Ku's conduct today it was hard to tell whether this was Bu QingYun's instinctive righteous behaviour or his provocation towards the righteous side. After thinking closely, since the disciples didn't have anything else to do, she allowed it.

As the two chattered away, You Jiang suddenly barged into the room. The moment his eyes landed on He Ku, who was currently chewing seeds while sitting on the daybed with Xiu Niang, he immediately became excited. "Palace Master, God Thief Kong Kong has been captured. As long as you say the word, I can guarantee that he will never be able to take a single step into our territory ever again!"

This god thief had already repeatedly infiltrated the Palace of Bliss without being discovered. Last time, he even made his way into He Huan's QingYun Hall, simply looking down on the palace security, but it just so happened that this defensive arrangement was designed by You Jiang. Since being singled out by He Huan in the Main Hall, he had regarded this incident in great shame. In the past month he had practically dug three feet into the entire Jianghu before finally capturing Kong Kong. He'd just finished throwing him into the dungeon before immediately making his way to the Palace Master to report. It was only unfortunate that the one currently reclined on the daybed wasn't He Huan, so he couldn't wash his shame away entirely.

Naturally, He Ku didn't know about the conflict between You Jiang and that God Thief; after all, he didn't know much about Kong Kong. He could only nod his head and reply, "First lock him up a few days. When He Huan comes out, we'll talk about it again."

He Huan had asked him to manage the palace in passing and he really did manage it a bit. All in all, a day's worth of work really didn't amount to too much and dealing with it wasn't that troublesome. Actually, to be honest, how many things under the world could actually be called troublesome as long as he had He Huan's power supporting him?

He Ku was just thinking this, when suddenly a matter which was actually troublesome was laid in front of him.

He only saw Qian Ren hurry inside, then look slightly surprised at You Jiang for arriving before him, before bowing down. "Palace Master, this subordinate has received word that the Xuanmen Righteous Sect, Myriad Treasures Hall, and Water Moon Manor are currently assembling a Demon Extermination Campaign in Sky Veil Town."

Demon Extermination Campaign? He had only just finished saying that the world was at peace, when suddenly this situation cropped up. Wasn't this clearly slapping his face?

The second He Ku heard this, his seeds scattered all over the floor. All the questions circulating through his brain weren't able to get answers. According to He Huan, all the righteous sects that dared to make problems had already been destroyed. This Myriad Treasures Hall was only focused on business, while the Water Moon Manor was also rarely involved in things like this. How were they suddenly preparing to knock on their doorsteps? They even pulled in the secluded Xuanmen Righteous Sect who had been trying to avoid suspicion these past few decades.
