Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: Chasing Demonic Energy
Tu Wanyi, upon hearing this, worriedly and tenderly picked up Su Zitong, apologetically looking at Wei Qingran, “Sorry, Tongtong is not feeling well, we need to go back now.”
Wei Qingran heard this and gave an apologetic smile, “Really sorry, I was so focused on chatting with you that I forgot the child was here, well, you head back first, I won’t disturb you.”
Tu Wanyi expressed her gratitude, reassuring them one more time before leaving with Su Zitong, getting into their car and driving away.
Watching the vehicle of Tu Wanyi’s family leave, Jiangli then stepped forward.
Seeing Jiangli, Wei Qingran let out a deep sigh of relief and said, “Abbot, how was my acting?”
Jiangli smiled faintly, “Miss Wei is indeed worthy of being a film queen.”
Wei Qingran chuckled, but there was still some worry lingering, her smile quickly faded, “But, do you think they will fall for it?”
Jiangli looked in the direction where Tu Wanyi’s car was leaving and said calmly, “Tu Wanyi won’t be fooled, but Su Zitong definitely will be.”
Wei Qingran seemed worried, “Isn’t she a demon now? Can demons be that easily tricked?”
Jiangli, upon hearing this, recognized Wei Qingran’s misunderstanding, “Su Zitong is still Su Zitong, she hasn’t been possessed by a demon. If I’m not mistaken, the demon is the fox doll she’s holding.”
Wei Qingran’s pupils shook, “That thing is a demon?”
When she first saw it, she thought it was just an ordinary fox doll.
Nowadays, isn’t it normal for many kids to like such dolls?
Jiangli gave a sound of confirmation.
Wei Qingran blinked in surprise, realizing, “So, Su Zitong is still Su Zitong? But just now, the way she looked at me was terrifying—”
“That’s because she’s been around the demon for too long. If I’m not mistaken, no matter what she wishes for or says, that little fox will make it happen. In such cases, a child without firm will would naturally have their personality swayed.”
Jiangli explained.
Wei Qingran understood, “So, the Abbot had me say those things to Tu Wanyi for Su Zitong to hear?”
Jiangli nodded, “All along, she’s probably been getting anything she wanted, to the point where she might truly see herself as a princess. Whenever something isn’t completed, she’ll be unhappy and unsatisfied, eager to accomplish it, and then she’ll pressurize the fox demon.”
Xia Xin also came over, listening to the conversation between Wei Qingran and Jiangli, and gave a curious sound, “But, Patriarch, what if that fox demon doesn’t listen to Su Zitong?”
Jiangli touched the tip of his nose, “I feel there’s something strange about the relationship between Su Zitong and the fox demon. It seems to be very obedient in her presence, doing whatever she commands. As for whether it will listen to her later, we can only see what unfolds tonight.”
Xia Xin nodded thoughtfully, then asked, “Patriarch, should we follow them now?”
Jiangli gave a sound of agreement.
Wei Qingran and Xia Xin exchanged glances and then followed Jiangli, boarding Song Wenjun’s nanny car.
Once in the car, Jiangli began directing the driver, who followed his directions to drive forward.
Wei Qingran heard Jiangli seeming to know where Tu Wanyi’s house was, a bit surprised, leaned back, and across the seat, asked Xia Xin, “Master Xia Xin, did the Abbot already know where Su Zitong lives?”
Xia Xin scratched his head, a bit doubtfully, “I don’t think so… I feel the Patriarch is tracking the demonic energy.”
Wei Qingran was incredulous, “Tracking demonic energy? Demonic energy can be tracked?”
