Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 298: Chapter 237: This Back Looks Somewhat Familiar
Liang Lu’s mood at the moment was not entirely different from Li Qingge’s, it was exactly the same.

What’s going on with Liu Qing?

Why does she have Jiang Cheng feed her?

Does she not have hands? Can’t she eat on her own?

She does have hands, doesn’t she?

She seems pretty adept with chopsticks.

She looks like a normal person, so where’s the problem?

“Liang,

“Ah?” Liang Lu snapped back to reality.

“Why are you always staring at Liu Qing? Is there something on her face?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Liang Lu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but with everyone around her being “Jiang Cheng’s people,” she thought it over and decided it was better to tell the truth and not be the butt of jokes.

“I’m a bit confused. Why doesn’t our friend Liu do the grilling herself?”

After Liang Lu finished speaking, Shen Menghan and Yue Linger’s gazes followed hers, focusing on Liu Qing.

Having often dined together, Shen Menghan had long noticed that Liu Qing only ate meat without touching it herself. She even privately asked Yue Linger about it, but to her surprise, Yue Linger didn’t know either!

And Yue Linger was an old-timer in Jiang Cheng’s circle.

If even she didn’t know, it meant that Liu Qing’s status and seniority were clearly higher than hers.

Through various details, Shen Menghan had gradually deduced the ranking of their big family.

When Liu Qing didn’t speak: Jiang Cheng > Liu Qing > Yue Linger > herself.

When Liu Qing spoke: Liu Qing > Jiang Cheng > Yue Linger > herself.

The reason Liu Qing didn’t do it herself was simple—she didn’t need to.

She could directly eat raw meat, plus she found it bothersome to do it herself.

Jiang Cheng feeding Liu Qing was not something Liu Qing asked him to do, but something he volunteered to do because he didn’t want a certain snake to have too much freedom in human society, which could lead to more loopholes in her already precarious human identity.

But explaining this to Liang Lu and the others was unfeasible.

How do you explain?

Because she likes raw meat?

If Liang Lu asked further: why does she like raw meat?

Liu Qing would answer: I’ve eaten it since I was young.

It’s a chilling thought to ponder!

“Because, well…” Jiang Cheng was considering his words.

But at this critical moment, Liu Qing, like Liang Lu and the others, was eagerly waiting for his answer.

Jiang Cheng was under a lot of pressure.

Finding a random excuse might pacify Liang Lu and the others but would not satisfy Liu Qing.

Without a random excuse, Liu Qing might be content, but the rest might not be convinced.

In this critical moment, Jiang Cheng had a stroke of genius: “Liu Qing is different from normal people. When she was little, she didn’t like to get close to things that were too hot, like fires.”

Everyone revealed an understanding expression.

In the common understanding of normal people like Liang Lu, Liu Qing probably had a childhood trauma related to fires, so it made sense for her not to grill meat herself.

In Liu Qing’s own understanding, she felt that what Jiang Cheng said was not wrong. When she was still a little snake, she indeed did not like to get close to fires. In her homeland Mount Tian, fires represented either the horror of natural forces or dangerous humanoid monsters. Although she now was itself a large monster and indifferent to fires, she did have the aversion described by Jiang Cheng when she was young, not a single detail off.

Jiang Cheng’s quick thinking paid off, and he quickly changed the subject, saying: “By the way, Liang, do you know much about the Demonic Tao?”

Liang Lu, considering Jiang Cheng’s behavior of collecting demonic techniques, had a bad feeling: “Not much.”

“Well, it’s perfect, all four of us are from the Demon Sect; you can learn anything you like.”

Jiang Cheng generously disclosed their Demon Sect identity.

Liang Lu was surprised and relieved but eventually ended up with a face full of unspoken words.

Jiang Cheng said, “Liang, if you have any opinions, please feel free to speak up.”

“It might be too late now.”

“How could it be too late? After all, you haven’t joined our sect yet.”

Liang Lu: “Actually, I came here with my teacher, who is from the Immortal Sect.”

Jiang Cheng was reassured, “This is no issue, people from the Immortal Sect are reasonable. It’s all fine as long as your teacher isn’t from the Demon Sect.”

Today was an eye-opener for Liang Lu. It was her first time seeing someone claiming to be from the Demon Sect, then not fearing the Immortal Sect but the Demon Sect instead.

However, Liang Lu didn’t take Jiang Cheng’s words to heart; she just assumed he was involved in something akin to a club.

After all, how could he, a student from Lotus University, possibly establish a Demon Sect right under the nose of Tongtian Sect?

Would Tongtian Sect allow his Demon Sect to exist?

What a joke in the world of immortals.

“This is our sect’s business license, tax registration certificate, organizational code.”

Jiang Cheng, to prove the existence of their sect, showed Liang Lu the authoritative documents issued by her own Liang Kingdom.

“Are you serious?” Liang Lu held the certificates, disbelieving.

“I always tell the truth.” Jiang Cheng said.

“Hold on, let me get this straight, what does Tongtian Sect have to say about you founding a Demon Sect?”

“They fully support it.” Jiang Cheng confessed frankly.

“Tongtian Sect fully supports you founding a Demon Sect?”

“Of course.”

Liang Lu felt like the world was spinning.

She felt sure that either she or Jiang Cheng had misunderstood the other.

She attempted to clarify her question: “What I mean is, is your Demon Sect legitimate?”

“It’s legitimate.”

“In what sense is it legitimate?”

“It won’t fear inspection by the Ministry of Revenue.”

Jiang Cheng succinctly conveyed the legitimacy of the Dayan Sect, considering that ninety-nine percent of Demon Sects had issues with tax evasion.

Since their Dayan Sect was small in scale without any sect industries, they were impeccable in terms of taxation.

“That’s quite legitimate indeed, but if your Demon Sect is so legitimate, is it still a Demon Sect?”

Liang Lu posed a critical question.

As a princess, she knew more than the average person; not just Demon Sects, even Immortal Sects couldn’t stand up to the scrutiny of the Ministry of Revenue—once inspected, none dare to make a sound.
