"Um...."
The middle-aged man looked awkwardly at Su Qi, sheepishly scratching his head, "That is, I wasn't talking about you."
Su Qi smiled and said, "I believe you, so could you untie me? I've already said that I'm a Daoist who removes demons."
However, the village chief shook his head apologetically, murmuring softly, "Sorry, young man, we can't do that."
"Eh?"
A nearby martial artist spoke in a grave tone, "Because only the Immortals from the Heavenly Mountain can cultivate all methods, while others who cultivate are deemed Sinful Cultivators, demons."
The village chief let out a slight sigh, "To be honest, I knew you were no demon as soon as you woke up. Some demons might appear human, but they're actually filthy lunatics, and I can tell that you're not like that, young man."
Su Qi gave a thumbs-up, "Chief, you've got good judgment."
"So, you are a Sinful Cultivator," the chief's eyes filled with complexity, "If it were before, we might have let you go."
