"Thank you, Daoist Lin, for your concern."
"This past year has been the happiest time of my life."
Yun Shouzuo's words were clear, his tone gentle, without the slightest hint of someone being consumed by demonic influence.
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. "So Yun Brother hasn't succumbed to demonic possession. I thought you had and came specifically to check. After all, everything stemmed from me."
"This matter has nothing to do with Daoist Lin. Fate brings its trials, and there is no escape." Yun Shouzuo's expression was indifferent, as if he held no interest in anything at all. "As for me now, I'm merely living a different way of life."
"But how laughable. For me, living a different way of life equates to becoming a demon. Thus, what need is there to explain? A demon is a demon. To live true to the self within the heart—that is the ultimate truth."
Hmm.
That...makes some sense.
