Chapter 24 My name is Lin Keke

"My name is Lin Keke. A month ago, a fairy sister came to me and enlightened me. She told me to come to the Yu family a month later..."

"I've arrived. The Yu family has many cultivators, but strangely, these cultivators are showing respect to an ordinary person. I heard that this ordinary person is an old man with a lovely granddaughter."

"Today, I was happily planning to continue causing trouble, but I was discovered. I hid in fear, but where could someone as big as me run to?"

"I returned to the old industrial park in the west of the city. This is my home, and I've decided that I'd rather die here. In human terms, it's about returning to one's roots."

......

In the old industrial park in the west of the city, Liang Junjie and Yu Xueji slowly arrived, carrying the Fire Umbrella Sword that Huo Chuyu had lent them.

During the day, the forest doesn't emit any green light; only the sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, revealing white fluff.

"Liang Junjie, do you think we can really find it?" Yu Xueji casually picked up a twig, waved it a few times, and looked like a child at heart.

Liang Junjie was speechless. Ever since Yu Laozi made that joke about marrying into the family, Yu Xueji stopped calling him "senior brother" and started calling him by his name. Even back in high school, when things got awkward, he would still call him Junjie.

"Alas, I sensed a strong demonic energy fluctuation here, which means that this tree spirit has lived here for many years."

Liang Junjie didn't continue speaking. Instead, he took out his spiritual imprint and put it on his earlobe, shaking it slightly. Then, his divine sense spread out and began to capture the changes in the surrounding seedlings.

The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; Liang Junjie easily noticed something unusual.

"There is no wind blowing from this direction, yet this tree is constantly shaking its leaves."

After telling Yu Xueji what he had sensed, Liang Junjie carried the Fire Umbrella Sword and walked step by step to the big tree.

"Hey, monster! Show yourself right now, Old Liang!"

Liang Junjie made a move to thrust forward, and even controlled the flying sword to emit sparks.

Lin Keke's alarm bells went off instantly. She dared not gamble that the person in front of her might stab her to death with a sword and then burn down the unintelligent trees around her.

"Hero! Hero! Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I'll reveal myself right now!" Lin Keke said, revealing a pair of eyes and a mouth, and making a very frightened expression.

Yu Xueji, who was watching Liang Junjie expose the tree demon in a playful and relaxed manner, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Great Sage, put away your supernatural powers! Look how frightened that demon is!"

"Hmph, junior sister, you don't know this. No monster is good. Watch me, old Liang, get rid of it!" Liang Junjie stretched out his hand to grip the sword again.

Lin Keke was so frightened that her body trembled, and she even manifested her human form.

"Huh? I remember Master said that demon cultivators can only transform into human form after reaching the Golden Core stage, right? I see that its aura is only at the early stage of Qi Refining." Yu Xueji looked at it curiously. Her words reached Lin Keke's ears. The next moment, the beautiful girl that Lin Keke had transformed into sat on the ground, crying.

"I am just a little demon who has been enlightened for less than a month. Great hero, great heroine, please have mercy and spare me and my people."

Faced with Lin Keke's crying, Liang Junjie's originally calm face turned ugly in the next moment.

"Don't cry, don't cry. We're not here to kill you. Someone has offered you a place at their estate to manage the landscaping."

After saying this, Liang Junjie mentioned the generous terms offered by Old Man Yu, including room and board.

Lin Keke heard every word clearly, but it was afraid. It was afraid that this was a trap, afraid that if it left, all its people would be wiped out by humans.

"I have one condition."

"explain."

The demon and the human stared at each other for a long time before Lin Keke finally spoke, "I want to bring my people with me!"

Upon hearing this sincere request, Liang Junjie did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked around and saw a large garden planted with the same type of seedlings, namely the beautiful kapok.

"Why have these beautiful kapok trees remained here all this time? Have you ever wondered why?"

After asking the question, Liang Junjie regretted it, because this silly demon had no memory of what it was like before it became a tree demon; it was a complete idiot.

"According to my investigation, the reason you were abandoned here is not because of economic problems, nor because humans no longer like you, but because you were originally useless seedlings that were discarded along with the original park."

These words struck Lin Keke like a bolt from the blue, piercing the deepest, most persistent question in her heart: "Why are we here? Why have humans abandoned us?"

Now it has an answer, but the answer is so cruel.

"However, you're lucky. The employer you've met is a powerful, wealthy, and capable big shot who will agree."

After saying this, Liang Junjie nudged Yu Xueji beside him.

"Xueji, it's your turn!"

"Ahem." Yu Xueji coughed lightly, then took out a map, which was a map of the Yu family's back garden and sapling forest.

"Choose an empty space on it yourself. If you have too many people and can't fit them all, you can place them separately." After Yu Xueji finished speaking, she handed the map to Lin Keke.

Lin Keke looked at the map and felt it was incredibly familiar. Then she pulled out a small map from her body, from between her breasts. The pattern on it was exactly the same as Yu Xueji's map. No, Lin Keke's map was a defective one, while Yu Xueji's was the real deal.

"My family's map? How do you have it?" Yu Xueji frowned. She immediately realized that this tree demon might try to harm her grandfather. Enraged, she drew a silver longsword from her storage bag and pressed the tip against Lin Keke's tree core.

"Heroine, spare me! Heroine, spare me! This was given to me by a senior fairy! I only went to this place with the map and saw some flowers fall for a few days..."

Yu Xueji stared at Lin Keke, who looked like a beautiful young girl, before sheathing his longsword.

"Tell me, which fairy is it?"

"Yes, she is an elf girl named Ellie."

Liang Junjie frowned. How could elves, who are clearly Western beings, have come to China? Did they smuggle themselves here?

In the cultivation world, there is an unwritten rule: Eastern immortals and heroes are not allowed to enter the Western magic world, and vice versa.

"Can you take us to see her?"
