Ning Zheng was lost in thought until Su Yuniang called out to him: "What are you daydreaming about? It's time to eat."
Ning Zheng had no appetite, so he quickly finished his meal and left the house, taking a walk through the village beneath the lingering sunset glow that was about to disappear completely.
He organized his thoughts and logic.
In theory, the ninth Bottleneck Ancestor of the Demon Cultivators could not be the bookshop owner Li Youzhu.
There are three reasons.
First, Awakening.
"I know who I am," Li Youzhu's obsession is with Jiao Wuyu. Only by deeply loving her did he open the Three Flowers.
If this had been a massive lie from the start, a farce he directed and acted himself, and he didn't love Jiao Wuyu, then it would be impossible for him to fully awaken.
Second, time.
The Bottle Ancestor is the ninth Ancestor.
The Red-clothed Sister is the tenth Ancestor.
That one Puppet Master was even the master of the Red-clothed Sister.
