He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Chapter 102

Xi Ning interrupted him. “If you wanted to capture Han Ji because of the Devil Realm’s treasure, then why did you want to kill Huo Xiu?”

The fierce expression on Chu Yi disappeared instantly, and he kissed Xi Ning’s little dragon horns. “Naturally it is because of you.”

Xi Ning pushed him away, and showed a serious expression. “The relationship between both the immortal world and the devil world is not so peaceful. Do you think it is appropriate for you to kill the general of the Immortal Palace because of an inconspicuous son of the Immortal Emperor?”

Chu Yi was silent. He personally didn’t care much about this, otherwise he wouldn’t sneak into the Immortal Palace as he pleased. But when Xi Ning mentioned it, it was really inappropriate to do this, given his identity.

Chu Yi wanted to take Xi Ning with him straight away, but Xi Ning was unwilling to go back to Devil Realm with him right now, so he had to consider other methods seriously.

“Didn’t you say that Han Ji was injured and ran away last night? Huo Xiu thinks highly of him and takes him alongside himself every day. He must be busy looking for him right now, and won’t have time to deal with me for the time being.” Xi Ning briefly analyzed the situation and said, ”And when dealing with this kind of person, we need to wait for the right opportunity, so we can’t kill him immediately.”

Chu Yi took out clean clothes from his storage ring, and asked while putting them on, “So when would be the right opportunity?”

Xi Ning doesn’t know either. He can’t rely on the plot of the original book now, so he can only figure it out by himself. “We will know when that time comes.”

After Chu Yi put his clothes on, he changed back to his original teenage appearance. He took out the bracelet that Uncle Rong gave him, and disguised himself as the low-class devil again.

He had lied to Xi Ning before that he would be an adult in a few days, and he hadn’t thought about how to explain it to others. Now that Xi Ning already knew his real identity, it was more convenient to use this appearance.

But he felt weird if he wanted to get close with Xi Ning in this appearance. He squeezed Xi Ning’s palm. “I have to go to find Uncle Rong before he gets suspicious of me.”

Xi Ning responded, and after Chu Yi left, the system said, “Master, this Han Ji and Tian Wu Zhu may be the cause of the collapse of Huo Xiu’s character.”

Tian Wu Zhu has also appeared in the later plot of the original book, and was mentioned that it was stolen by a devil before, but it was described in only a few words and the specific situation at that time was unknown.

From the system’s point of view, it was most likely the cause of Huo Xiu’s abnormality. Han Ji stole Tian Wu Zhu and hid beside Huo Xiu. Huo Xiu’s character may have collapsed under his influence, and the name Han Ji did not even appear in the book. The center system only set Huo Xiu as the mission target after detecting Huo Xiu’s abnormality.

Xi Ning speculated, “If I kill Han Ji and return the Tian Wu Zhu to its original owner, can it prevent Huo Xiu’s character from collapsing? Will I be able to complete the mission then?”

The system went silent for a moment and then replied, “It’s hard to tell.”

These were just the system’s one-sided guesses. Even if the system guessed correctly, Huo Xiu had already been affected right now. Killing Han Ji did not mean that he would immediately be restored back to his original nature.

And there was no direct evidence to prove that Huo Xiu’s character collapsed because of Han Ji and Tian Wu Zhu. There was no such connection stated in the mission…… At least for now, Han Ji’s death had nothing to do with Xi Ning’s mission. He still had to keep an eye on Huo Xiu until the system center evaluated Huo Xiu’s character had restored back to normal, or wait for his wife to be pregnant and kill him.

Xi Ning said with a weak voice. “You have said so much, but it doesn’t seem to be of much use.”

The system awkwardly replied, “Ah, maybe after Han Ji’s death, Huo Xiu will settle down, and the master can be more relaxed when doing the mission……”

Xi Ning did not answer. He originally thought that if the Immortal Emperor knew that Huo Xiu had brought the devil into the Immortal Palace, he might be able to punish Huo Xiu. However, Chu Yi had mentioned earlier that Han Ji had been injured and had escaped, it was unclear when he would return.

In order for Han Ji to die, he seemed to have to rely on Chu Yi…… Xi Ning thought for a while, and went to the storage pavilion in his palace to take out a lot of defensive magic weapons and elixirs, which he planned to give to Chu Yi.
