Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Jiang Hao was deep in thought as he looked at the person in front of him.

Hong Yuye could enter and leave the Heavenly Note Sect at will, so she was not afraid of anyone.

She might not care about the Sect Master.

As for whether the other party could turn the tide, Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, “It’s said that the Heavenly Note Sect was built by the Sect Master single-handedly. The sect rose to prominence, thanks to the Sect Master.”

“And?” Hong Yuye asked as she sipped her tea.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and it was not clear what she was thinking.

Jiang Hao was not sure what the other party was thinking.

He could only guess.

“If the Sect master is still alive, she should be able to turn the tide,” Jiang Hao said.

“Still alive?” Hong Yuye’s eyes lit up as if she had heard something preposterous. “It seems you have quite the opinion about her.”

She looked at Jiang Hao and waited for him to continue.

She even asked Jiang Hao to brew some good tea for her.

Jiang Hao fumbled around for a long time before he brewed the pack of tea that had cost him 510 spirit stones.

Hong Yuye looked at the tea and then at him.

He lowered his head and braced himself.

“Where’s the September Spring?” Hong Yuye asked.

“When I went to see the core person of The End of All Things, I was ambushed and lost my way,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye chuckled but did not ask any more questions. Instead, she asked Jiang Hao to tell her about the Sect Master of the Heavenly Note Sect.

After making tea, Jiang Hao said, “Well, I’m not very sure about it. I don’t know much. I was just guessing.”

Hong Yuye listened quietly.

She wanted to hear more.

“The Sect Master is undoubtedly strong, but she is said to have been in seclusion. It has been more than eighty years,” said Jiang Hao. “Eighty years ago, she swept through the surrounding areas and fought with various sects. When the Heavenly Note Sect was on the right track, she went into seclusion. She hasn’t appeared since then. There might be two reasons for seclusion. People go into seclusion to either increase their cultivation realm or to recover from their injuries. If it was to increase the cultivation, it must have failed after so long. But if it was to recover from her injuries… It’s been so long. I don’t think she can recover entirely.”

“So, when you say she’s still alive…” Hong Yuye smiled.

“I don’t really know much about higher realms,” said Jiang Hao hurriedly. “I’m only making assumptions based on whatever I know.”

“If that is your guess based on what you know, do you think Elder Baizhi thinks the same way?” she asked as she sipped her tea.

“Maybe she does. Maybe she tells the others that the Sect Master is in seclusion because if people believe a powerful person is backing the sect, it’ll be much safer.”

“You might be right. So, what are you going to do now? Your Sect Master is gone, and the Acting Sect Master might be defeated too. That’ll have a huge impact on you.”

She continued drinking her tea as if she was watching a good show.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. “It doesn’t matter if I live or die. I’m just worried about whether the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower will be affected.”

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower could not be moved. It might not be a good thing to move it.

If the Heavenly Note Sect was destroyed, it would definitely impact the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“What do you mean?” Hong Yuye smiled. “Are you implying I should help your sect?”

“Senior, you must be joking. The fate of the Heavenly Note Sect has nothing to do with you, Senior. It’s just that the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower is growing well here. It won’t be good if it was destroyed,” said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye looked at the other party. Although she was smiling, her eyes were devoid of emotion.

She put down her teacup. “I can help you, but I need to take something from you in return.”

Jiang Hao remembered that he owed her four things.

Including this, he would owe her five things in total.

He did not believe that Elder Baizhi had not prepared everything.

He did not need to do much in such a situation.

The battle was initiated by Elder Baizhi herself.

“No?” Hong Yuye asked.

“That’s not what I meant,” said Jiang Hao. “I’ve been in the sect for a long time, so I know what kind of people the sect has. Although the sect might look like it’s struggling, I don’t think defeat will be the outcome. The Heavenly Note Sect has fought so many other sects and powerful experts. They won some fights and lost others, but the sect was never very badly defeated. Besides, Elder Baizhi has been in charge of the Heavenly Note Sect for more than eighty years. She definitely doesn’t do things recklessly.”

Hong Yuye sipped her tea. “It seems you’re very confident about this.”

“I just feel that a normal person would never do something so reckless. Since the sect made a move, they must have confidence in themselves,” said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye sipped her tea and did not say anything else. Instead, she asked about the core person of the End of All Things.

“You saw that person?”

“Yes. He claimed to be The End of All Things.”

Hong Yuye nodded. “Did you find anything about the stone tablet?”

Jiang Hao froze on the spot when he heard the question.

He had forgotten to ask about it.

At that time, he had been thinking about how to scare the other party so that the danger could be delayed.

When that was done, he turned around and left.

That time, he had felt that if he lingered there longer, the image he had created would be impaired. It was safer for him to leave.

He had completely forgotten about the stone tablet.

“I did find out about other things.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“What did you find?” asked Hong Yuye with a smile.

“I used my identity as Gu Jin to threaten and delay his return,” said Jiang Hao. “I’m sorry. We didn’t really have much conversation about the stone tablet. We can ask him when he returns.”
