I Want to Gild My Face.

Sihu Villa, Villa No. 1.

In the middle of the living room stands a rather quaint incense burner, with lingering smoke and a faint, strange fragrance filling the air.

Behind the incense burner stood a tall old man with white hair and beard, watching Xia Tian and others slowly walk in with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, this fragrance is not poisonous, it is just used to calm the mind."

The white-haired old man saw many people looking at the incense burner, so he explained with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if it's poisonous. It won't poison anyone anyway." Xia Tian replied lazily, then pulled Ning Ruirui, picked a seat, and sat down comfortably.

Nie Xiaoli supported her mother and sat on the other side of Xia Tian.

Zhan Gaohe was a little scared, so he quietly moved away from Xia Tian and sat next to the white-haired old man.

When Ye Wuming saw the old man with white beard, he instantly felt that something was wrong, but after a closer look, he found nothing and could only wait and see.

"Everyone is almost here. Although it is a little different from what I expected, it doesn't matter." The white-haired old man chuckled and looked around at everyone and said, "In fact, some things can be discussed openly. There is no need to fight and kill."

Ning Ruirui couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You said that as if the previous fighting and killing had nothing to do with you."

"Whether it's related or not is not important." The white-haired old man chuckled and said to Ning Ruirui: "Ms. Ning, please be patient. We can chat for a while and solve some unimportant conflicts. Then we can get to the point."

Xia Tian curled his lips: "Not interested."

The white-haired old man glanced at Xia Tian calmly, and said with some displeasure: "You must be Xia Tian, ​​you are really arrogant to a certain extent, and you don't know any manners at all."

"Politeness is for your own people." Before Xia Tian could refute, Ning Ruirui directly retorted: "For a person like you, it is a great mercy that I don't kill you directly."

Ye Wuming couldn't help but say at this time: "Long Xingyu, you are the one who should be polite. Xia Tian is the president of the [Heavenly Society] appointed by Mr. Ye himself. I am just taking over Mr. Xia's responsibilities."

"Be a dog if you want to be a dog. Why are you talking so nicely?" The white-haired old man couldn't help but sneer, "That old guy Ye Huanlin is still alive. He is so confused that he has handed over the position of president to mediocre people like you."

Ning Ruirui smiled and said, "According to what you said, you must be the president?"

"Of course." The white-haired old man said proudly, "The position of president belongs to me. Only I can maximize the role of the Tianren Society and even create a new era."

"Unfortunately, no matter how much you dream, it's useless. You are still not the president." Ning Ruirui smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes full of ridicule and contempt.

The white-haired old man was not angry. He just smiled and said, "Since you are here, don't you have anything you want to know? I will give you ten minutes and guarantee to answer all your questions."

"I want to know if this series of events was planned by you?" Nie Xiaoli asked directly.

"What are the series of things you mentioned?" The white-haired old man's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, and he said with a smile: "If you are talking about the marriage between the Zhan and Nie families, then it was indeed planned by me. Otherwise, how could those little guys in the Nie family's ancestral hall be willing to give in."

Little guy?

Nie Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the man in front of him seemed to be very old, and it was normal for him to call the elders of the Nie family "little guys".

Before Nie Xiaoli could come back to his senses, the white-haired old man continued, "If you mean whether your immune to all poisons was planned by me, I can also tell you that it was planned by me as well."

"What did you say?" Nie Xiaoli suddenly looked surprised.

Mother Nie was also a little surprised. She looked at the white-haired old man's face and suddenly screamed: "You, you are..."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Nie Xiaoli saw that her mother looked strange, and immediately went forward and hugged her.

"He is the person who gave me advice, and he is also the old doctor recommended to me by your second uncle." Mother Nie felt a chill all over her body when she thought back to what happened back then. Could it be that she had fallen into someone's trap more than ten years ago?

The white-haired old man chuckled and advised, "Ms. Nie, you don't have to be so panicked. I didn't say anything wrong, and you didn't do anything wrong. Isn't your daughter alive and well?"

After hearing this and looking at Nie Xiaoli's face, Mother Nie felt a little more at ease.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Nie Xiaoli had a feeling that this old man must have some hidden conspiracy.

"Mr. Long, there's no need to waste time talking to them, just kill them all." Zhan Gaohe was a little impatient and urged, "My two sons died at their hands. If I don't accept this vengeance, I won't be named Zhan!"

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Gao He, you actually wronged them. They didn't kill your little son."

"Who killed him?" Zhan Gaohe looked puzzled. "I have done some research. Tiantian was in the swimming pool. After talking with Ning Ruirui, he was killed. Who else could the murderer be except Xia Tian?"

Xia Tian did remember this incident and said casually, "That idiot really deserved to die, but he died before I could do anything."

"It was done by a killer named Achai." Ning Ruirui interrupted at this time: "The killer was hired by your eldest son Zhan Wenbin."

"Impossible!" Zhan Gaohe was totally unable to accept this result and flatly denied: "You were the one who killed him, and you still want to sow discord!"

Xia Tian curled his lips and said, "Your two idiot sons are dead, why are you still trying to stir up trouble? You are mentally ill."

“This…” Zhan Gaohe was instantly furious and clenched his fists: “Xia Tian, ​​you will not die well. I must kill you with my own hands…Puff!”

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a large amount of blood. He fell to the ground in despair, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.

"Such a noise, I haven't finished what I want to say yet." The white-haired old man slowly withdrew his hands and said calmly: "Let's continue chatting, there is still time."

"You are really inhuman!" Ning Ruirui couldn't understand it. Although she also wanted to kill people like Zhan Gaohe, they were in different camps after all.

The white-haired old man was different. Zhan Gaohe was obviously his most loyal lackey, but he killed him without hesitation, without any humanity at all.

"Little long-legged girl, you are right." Xia Tian said nonchalantly: "This idiot old man is not even a human being, so of course he has no humanity."

"Wow, your eyesight is pretty good." The white-haired old man couldn't help but look up to Xia Tian. "This shouldn't be due to your medical skills, right? Do you have any other magic weapon hidden on you?"

Xia Tian replied lazily: "No magic weapon is needed. You don't smell like a human at all. How can you be a human?"

"It seems that you have practiced some special skills." The white-haired old man laughed and became a little interested. "Later, I can spare your life and search your soul slowly. Maybe I can find something interesting."

"Don't even think about it." Xia Tian said disdainfully, "You'll be dead soon."

“If you want to talk big, you might as well say more, because you won’t have the chance to say it again.” The white-haired old man was not angry at Xia Tian’s offense, but laughed instead.

Ye Wuming couldn't bear it anymore and stood up: "Enough! Long Xingyu, what do you want to do? Just say it directly and don't delay any longer."

"The time has not come yet, so of course we have to delay it." The white-haired old man was not anxious at all and waved his hand: "Now is the time for chatting, why can't you calm down? This is not the temperament of the president."

"I will deal with you, the traitor of the Tianren Society, right now, and let you know what magnanimity is!" Ye Wuming suddenly clenched his fists, a faint black aura wrapped around the outside of his fists, and leaped forward, blasting towards the white-haired old man: "You die!"

The white-haired old man shook his head and just stretched out a hand lightly, and an invisible barrier appeared to block Ye Wuming's fist.

“Bang!”

With a slight sound, Ye Wuming's fist wind was completely dissipated.

"What's going on?" Ye Wuming looked confused. He clenched his fists and moved forward again, but he couldn't get close to the white-haired old man.

"Since you can't calm down, then get out." The white-haired old man sneered, raised his hand and waved it, then released a powerful force, blasting Ye Wuming out of the villa.

Ning Ruirui wanted to stand up to save Ye Wuming, but Xia Tian patted her thigh. She turned her head and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I'm just lying down and taking a nap." Xia Tian yawned, then fell down and rested his head on Ning Ruirui's thighs.

"What are you doing..." Although Ning Ruirui already had some understanding of Xia Tian's personality, she was sometimes still a little surprised by his abrupt behavior.

The white-haired old man laughed: "Smart man."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Ning Ruirui felt increasingly confused and pushed Xia Tian directly, "Don't sleep, get up and explain it clearly, or I won't let you lie down anymore."

"Little long-legged girl, there's actually nothing much to say." Xia Tian sighed, stood up suddenly, and said to the white-haired old man, "This idiot is just stalling for time, so let's stall for a while with him, otherwise it will be so boring."

Gradually, the night outside deepened.

The red moon is like blood, hanging high in the sky.

The white-haired old man slowly stood up and said to Xia Tian: "You are really arrogant, and this is also the reason for your own destruction."

As he spoke, he began to pace excitedly again, muttering loudly to himself:

"Don't you want to know who I am and what I want to do? Now I can tell you straight away."

"I am not a human, but a demon from the Red Moon Realm under the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. I was subdued by Fairy Fuyao ten thousand years ago, and was banished to this place abandoned by the immortals with her."

"Fairy Fuyao sealed her cultivation and directly began a ten-thousand-year life and death test. But we, the demon race, are not willing to follow her into oblivion. Instead, we want to escape from our imprisonment, revitalize the demon race, and return to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance."

"It's a pity that the spiritual energy in this shabby place is so thin that it's outrageous. It's better to stay in the tomb of Fairy Fuyao."

"It's so sad that the demons can only survive in that small world."

"So, we decided to transform humans and create demons that are adapted to survive on Earth."

"Whether it's the Nie family, the Zhan family, or the Yin family... or even the Tianren Society, they are all means used by our demon clan."

"It's just that you humans are so greedy that you even want to hold me hostage, even the demons. It's ridiculous."

“…”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Xia Tian was a little annoyed and said directly, "You are bragging like you are so great, but it's just that you couldn't escape from that tomb, so you made so many troubles. You are just a waste, and you still want to flatter yourself."
