Chapter 52: Wolf Eating Sheep

“What’s the matter?” Bai Yuming felt guilty when he saw Mo Shulin who was silent for a long time, without moving or making any noise.

He admit that he’s a little bit narrow-minded when he said those words.

As time goes by, the plot in the original story will unravel bit by bit.

Mo Shulin bears the malice of Feiyun Valley’s extermination, while the Demon Smiling Whitehead can be said to create a never ending disruption.

Even if Bai Yuming knew Mo Shulin’s road to revenge would be arduous, he still wouldn’t persuade Mo Shulin to let go of his hatred.

But there are many ways to gain revenge. Now that he’s Mo Shulin’s master, he didn’t want Mo Shulin to obtain his revenge by violating his conscience like the original story.

Though, Bai Yuming is worried about Mo Shulin, who’s now still in his rebellious and righteous period, would create his own image as an omnipotent god, and didn’t take his words seriously.

Mo Shulin was indeed overwhelmed by Bai Yuming’s words just now, became speechless for a long time.

It wasn’t the first time Bai Yuming revealed his ability, but it’s indeed the first time Mo Shulin had a thought that Bai Yuming probably took this opportunity to make him confess about certain things.

In Mo Shulin’s eyes, Bai Yuming knowledge is no longer as simple as knowing that he’ll become a demon cultivator in the future.

Bai Yuming probably had known that he’s an abominable existence that got reborn.

“So, master already knows everything?” Mo Shulin tentatively took the first step.

“I can’t say that I know everything. I can only forsee some relatively big incidents.” Bai Yuming didn’t dare to disclose too much.

The character he understand more thoroughly is the protagonist Duanmu Jinyan in the original story, while he didn’t know much about the others.

But Duanmu Jinyan is a troublesome character, many substantial events will happen wherever he goes. Knowing Duanmu Jinyan’s life experience is equivalent to discerning on what will happen to Cultivator Continent in the near future.

Plus he also has a wood spirit root as his demon cultivation, so he can perceive others good and bad intentions around him. It’s also his life-saving charm.

Bai Yuming’s words clearly showed affirmation.

Mo Shulin’s heart beats faster. Bai Yuming may stated that he didn’t know all of the events, but he must’ve known most of it, which means that Bai Yuming knew he’ll become the second Demon Lord in the Demon Realm.

It’s not that Mo Shulin is being arrogant, but it’s because he’s a rare genius in cultivation.

Before hurting his spirit root, he was only ten years old and reached the seventh level of Qi Refining period. Not only that, he’s also a direct disciple of the real elder with strength who could let him directly enter Liangji sect.

With a powerful demon in front of him, Mo Shulin didn’t dare to say that he’s invincible. If he became a demon cultivator again, it won’t be harder than his last life.

But even so, Mo Shulin still wanted to struggle one last time.

Mo Shulin asked with outmost seriousness: “Then does master know what… things I’ll do in the future?”

Becoming a demon, attaining his revenge, and… watching Bai Yuming being framed.

Recalling the scene of the white rabbit being skinned and dismantled in his previous life, remembering Yue Zhihan happily wore the snow-white rabbit fur scarf, and Bai Yuming, who no longer desperately argue for himself because of the mocking eyes in the sect.

Mo Shulin suddenly hated himself.

“Did you think my heart is so big that I’ll let a person stay by my side without knowing the bottom of their roots?” Bai Yuming slightly shook his head. His headdress also swayed, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

The beauty’s every move has a surreal allure.

The men and women around couldn’t help but peek at Bai Yuming, their eyes full of admiration for the beauty.

It’s hard to describe the feeling, but Bai Yuming has an inexplicable and attractive temperament, which makes people can’t help but to take a glimpse again and again, unable to concentrate.

It’s just that the two people with their minds full of thoughts didn’t bother about their surrounding.

The people sitting at the next table were all mortals, their ears aren’t as sharp as those of a cultivator. Bai Yuming’s voices were soft, with noises from the side of the road, applause and cheers from the game, the firecrackers in the distance from time to time, the mortals around them wouldn’t be able to hear what they’re saying.

Even if you took ten thousand steps back while there’s also cultivators nearby, deliberately said the words to their ears, it’ll still be impossible to understand what they’re talking about due to Bai Yuming and Mo Shulin’s slightly vague conversation.

People could only guess about the things that happened in the past, not the things that haven’t happened yet.

“Does master hate me? Hate what I’ve done in the future?” Mo Shulin was referring to the time when he ignored Bai Yuming’s framing incident.

Mo Shulin left an hint in his words, wanted to test Bai Yuming whether he knew he got reborn.

There’s a difference between knowing his rebirth and not.

Knowing that he got reborn, he’ll now be directly convicted for the future things he haven’t done yet.

Without knowing that he got reborn, only predicting that he would ignore Bai Yuming’s framing incident in the future, then he’ll only have the possibility of commiting the crime.

The gap between already committed crimes and possible crimes isn’t generally large.

Bai Yuming was affected by the mood.

Because the current Mo Shulin looks like an adult young man, he doesn’t have the cute appearance of a ten-year-old child.

When Bai Yuming thought about the problem again, he subconsciously regard Mo Shulin as the character in the story, that is, the Demon Lord Mo Shulin that has harmed him once.

What’s more, Bai Yuming has forgot one of the most critical logical errors.

Youths, no matter how unruly they are, they’ll definitely have more confidence and hope for their future.

If it’s an actual ten-year-old Mo Shulin who got accepted by Bai Yuming as an inner disciple, what he thought of should’ve been about Mo Shulin working hard to cultivate and earn money, making friends with others in Liangji sect, and gain himself a firm foothold in Liangji sect to accumulate force and destroy Smiling Whitehead in order to avenge Feiyun Valley.

Rather than being the Mo Shulin today, where even before he started anything, he’s already certain that he’ll embark on the demonic path in the future and does the thing that made him felt regret for his master.

“When wolves eat sheep, does the sheep hates the wolves?” Bai Yuming asked rhetorically.

Although Mo Shulin in the story has entered the demonic path, he’s not a villainous person.

The Mo Shulin in the story did allow Bai Yuming to be framed by the Demon Smiling Whitehead, but he didn’t have absolute hatred at the time. It’s normal for Mo Shulin not to make a move before making sure that he’ll be able to kill the enemy.

“Hate. Hate them very much.” Who wouldn’t hate the person who killed you? Mo Shulin’s has a hopeless and absolute tone.

Mo Shulin picked up the pen and continued to fill in the information.

He’s already sure that Bai Yuming knew that he would cultivate into a demon in the future, and probably even knew about his rebirth.

He’s such a coward.

Didn’t dare himself to face Bai Yuming, he immerse himself with the act of filling in information.

“I…” Bai Yuming couldn’t find an excuse to refute Mo Shulin, so he could only reply with some helplessness, “I might hate others. But… I won’t hate you.”

It’s natural when a wolf eat a sheep. It’s the law of survival.

When humans encounter wolves eating sheeps, they wouldn’t interfere just because the sheep is pitiful.

In the original story.

Bai Yuming is a demon who suffers malice because of his race.

At that time, Mo Shulin had already entered the demonic path. The disciples in outer sect would compete with Mo Shulin in all possible ways, so he wouldn’t have any affection for Liangji sect. Because of that, he also wouldn’t have any kindness for Bai Yuming in the story who’s enshrined in the sect for many years.

The more heinous Smiling Whitehead is, the more enemies he’d gain.

As long as Mo Shulin collects evidence and found the right moment to spread these evidence about Smiling Whitehead’s evil deeds, Smiling Whitehead will only become the public enemy. Only when righteous cultivators work together, Mo Shulin would have a chance to take revenge.

In terms of logic, Mo Shulin in the story has no reason to save Bai Yuming.

Bai Yuming isn’t a demon who doesn’t differentiate between right and wrong. He also doesn’t think that Mo Shulin in the story has done something bad.

Speaking of which, Mo Shulin is a pitiful person.

The original story doesn’t describe about Mo Shulin much, but everything about him is all tragic. He has collected many grievances such as the collapse of his family, hurting his spirit root, betrayal of his relatives, oppression from the same sect, his friend’s backstabbing, forced to wear green hat, and many others.

Mo Shulin’s journey is extremely miserable, and in order to survive, he finally embarks on the path of being a demon cultivator.

Only after entering the demonic path did he realize that he’s capable of revenge. In order to attain his vengeance, Mo Shulin gritted his teeth and did a lot of things that violated his ancestors doctrine.

Such a pitiful Mo Shulin was used by the author to be compared with the male protagonist.

It was supposed to be compared with the protagonist who also lived a miserable life, but still in the right path, so that everyone can learn from the protagonist.

When Bai Yuming read a book, he almost spit out old blood.

Although the author’s intention was good, but when god closes the door for the male protagonist, he still left an elevator for the protagonist to easily break through all classes and obstacles. But Mo Shulin on the other hand, the god has closed the door, the window, and didn’t even leave a dog hole, forcibly blacken a good boy with three correct outlooks.

“Master.” Mo Shulin was shocked when he heard Bai Yuming’s words.

But when he raised his head, he saw the Bai Yuming who dressed up as a woman, the gratitude and respect for the teacher has shifted.

His heart was still pounding, not slower than before, but he realized that the feelings inside his chest was different.

Gazing at Bai Yuming’s dark pupils, Mo Shulin instantly understood.

Now that his body has been matured by medicinal herbs to adulthood, he’ll naturally produce emotions that only adults have.

He really couldn’t understand himself.

He shouldn’t have that kind of thought for Bai Yuming. In the past few months, he really has no feelings that he shouldn’t have.

As soon as he had the body of an adult, he realized his improper thoughts about Bai Yuming.

Does that herb have strange effects?

Bai Yuming waited for Mo Shulin for a while, but after he felt impatient, he knocked on the table helplessly, “Hurry up. I’m waiting to order food.”

“Okay.” Mo Shulin’s thoughts was in a mess, he hurried to lower his head, filling in the informations, while suppressing unnecessary thoughts.

After finishing the paper with great difficulty, Mo Shulin handed the paper full of his own information to Bai Yuming’s hand, letting Bai Yuming to memorize it again.

Bai Yuming’s woman fingers were slender and delicate, it’s tender and white as jade. When he received the paper from Mo Shulin, their fingertips briefly touched.

Compared with Mo Shulin, Bai Yuming’s fingertips were a bit colder.

The short moment of contact seemed to cause an itch in Mo Shulin’s heart, making his feelings to thump and jump wildly.

Mo Shulin could only lower his head.

His eyes fell on Bai Yuming’s embroidered shoes with a rabbit demon flying to the moon.

A ribbon is wrapped around the rabbit, chasing the moon while hiding behind the clouds. The patterns are vivid and lifelike.

The shoes were brand new and beautiful, but Mo Shulin suddenly remembered Bai Yuming’s red shoes without any embroidery, along when Bai Yuming’s feet pressing the red shoes, he can even recall the neat and beautiful toenails similar to shells.

Not daring to look at his feet anymore, Mo Shulin quickly raised his head and glanced around.

However, the men and women around him always stares at Bai Yuming with greedy eyes intentionally or unintentionally. Mo Shulin immediately glared at them.

If he was only worried about his master being snatched by others before, now Mo Shulin wanted to swear his sovereignty in front of these people.

He wanted to declare to these people out loud that his respected master is only for his own to possess.

These people don’t even deserve to cast their eyes at his master.

“I’ve finished memorizing, you go and say something.” Bai Yuming didn’t know Mo Shulin was full of random thoughts, so he placed the information down after reading it.

There are a lot of questions, but Bai Yuming knows a lot of information. He just need to remember what he hasn’t know yet.

Mo Shulin immediately converged, listened to Bai Yuming’s words obediently, and inform the maid that he and Bai Yuming could start the answering game at any time.
