Ji Bai stroke his chin, his eyes drifting between a man and a woman in the middle of bicker, a little confused about what’s going on with these two people.

It seemed that the two were colleagues, but it didn’t look like muc. However, they were not completely unrelated.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of your trip? If you don't tell me the truth, you'll have to suffer some torture on your body." Are they dissecting a demonic species for study? If someone from this kind of underground organization is stupid enough to divulge its inferior information at the first sight of a stranger, this organization’s secrets would have already been discovered by the demon species easily, right? This clumsy lie was found by people easily.

The only praiseworthy thing is that the acting of this man is good enough. There was a moment Ji Bai really believed what this guy said.

"Don't don't don't ..... I’m so sorry ah! The gentlemen should reason thing out rather than resort to force. We are civilized people ah! As the saying goes..." The middle-aged man looked so scared and vulnerable. Recalling that he thought this guy had something powerful before, now it seems that Ji Bai had the impulse to slap himself .

Looking at this timid and untruthful man on the ground, who had no sense of decency, Ji Bai silently drew a short sword from his back and gestured at the man a few times. The sword reflected a snowy and glaring light under the hot sun.

"Hey hey!!! Come on, you mean it! Little brother, first put that thing away. My heart is not very good ah ...."

Disgraceful vocal line has been close to distortion, a cold-faced woman on the side could not bear the scene, covered the face and turned her head, as if she didn’t know this man.

"You have to understand, I am an impatient man ...." Ji Bai narrowed his eyes.

"Hey?! You want to cut to the chase in a hurry, right? Well, pull me first eh!" The man extended his hand to Ji Bai with a hopeful gaze.

"Get up by yourself. You are a man with hands and feet." Before Ji Bai could say anything, the woman on the side frowned and scolded.

"Okay, okay, hey. Yi Yi, don't be so mean ...." The middle-aged man laughed playfully as he strained to brace himself to stand up.

"Don’t call me like that again, believe it or not, I will make you suffer a lot?" The woman said in a cold voice leaning against the wall.

After hearing these words, the middle-aged man shivered and no longer dared to joke.

"Ahem, by the way, I haven't introduced myself. I'm called Lin Tuo, and she is called Lan Yi. Nice to meet you, young man." The poor Lin Tuo squeezed out a smile and extended his hand towards Ji Bai.

"Oh ......" Ji Bai stared at the middle-aged man named Lin Tuo with contempt and had no intention of shaking hands with the other party. So Lin Tuo had to put away his hand awkwardly.

"Young man, I think you have a great misunderstanding of me. In fact, what I have done before is the part of my plan..."

"The thing that you just fell to the ground awkwardly was also a part of the plan?"

"Ahem! This ..... I did it by following my heart ah! How can something from the heart not be part of the plan?" The middle-aged man who was obviously astonished by Ji Bai explained righteously.

"Come on, get to the point." The woman reminded coldly.

"Oh oh, okay ...... Then young man, congratulations on passing our test." Speaking of which, the middle-aged man's face instantly became serious and proper, giving Ji Bai the illusion that it wasn't him who just fell on the ground.

"Test? ...." Ji Bai frowned slightly, his gaze turned to Lan Yi at the side once again, who was also looking at him at the moment, with some approval and recognition in her gaze.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's like this, originally, our purpose is indeed to take away this cat-eared girl, but it's not what I just said ........ Instead of taking , I think, rescuing is a better word."

Looking at the serious, solemn Lin Tuo who said these words in front of him, Ji Bai frowned slightly, looked up and down at the two people in front of him. After determining that there was indeed no demon species aura on their bodies, his face became even more astonished.

"You guys are human?"

"As you can see, yes." Lin Tuo replied cheerfully.

Ji Bai's expression became even more astonished. "Then why would you guys think of rescuing the demon species? It is very easy for you to become an enemy of all humanity if you don't get it right."

"Young man, knowing the consequences, why did you go to save this cat-eared girl? If I'm not wrong, this cat-eared girl's injury should be stabilized by you, right?" Lin Tuo looked at the silk scarf on the cat-eared girl's ankle with a smile.

"......"

"There is only one answer. You can’t stand killing such an innocent and harmless demon species. In other words, you have compassion for the demon species. What I did just now simply made a test to test you whether you would stand by while watching someone persecute a demon species that is friendly to humans."

"Oh? What are you trying to say?" Ji Bai narrowed his eyes at Lin Tuo who was talking eloquently in front of him.

"What I'm trying to say is that there's no need to feel confused! Young man, this is your virtue of compassion for the weak, both the positive side of humanity and the embodiment of knight’s spirit!" Speaking of this, Lin Tuo opened his arms exaggeratedly .

"You are too childish, do your family know it ?"

"Ahem!!! Sorry... I talked too much just now." Lin Tuo was astonished by Ji Bai once again.

"And the knight’s spirit ? Don't bully me for reading less, huh? In the knight’s creed, not only does it not have the article of sheltering the demon species, but also it has the felony entry of harboring the demon species and betraying human beings." Ji Bai looked at the middle-aged man in front of him doubtfully, who looked very unreliable, was cheating him.

"Young man, in addition to the knight's creed that every knight needs to follow, don't forget that each knightly order has its own spiritual creed."

"Compassion for the weak, protect the innocent, this is the purpose of the Moon Knights. I wonder if you are interested in learning about it?"
