Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1811: Chapter 1456: Let's Go, Into the House_2 Chapter 1811: Chapter 1456: Let's Go, Into the House_2 Afterward, Baizhi reported many matters, such as the eastern and western regions both starting to seal the Corpse Realm Flowers.

They should start sealing here as well.

She also mentioned the overseas affairs, saying the Mobile Major unexpectedly appeared, seeming to frequently mention the Heavenly Note Sect.

This concerned Jiang Hao.

Why do these people keep mentioning the Heavenly Note Sect?

He had to ask Liu to intervene.

If they were attracted here, that would be troublesome.

Listening to Baizhi's report, Jiang Hao began picking peaches.

Picking while listening, Heavenly Note Sect mostly just listened.

Occasionally responding with a phrase or two.

By the time Baizhi had almost finished reporting, Jiang Hao had picked nearly half of the Immortal Peach Tree.

Finally, he placed the peaches on the table, saying, “Sect Master, do you like peaches?”

“Ah?” Baizhi was somewhat dumbfounded by the question.

“Since you're here, it seems these peaches will be left over. Take some back with you.” Jiang Hao said with a slight sense of loss, “With the small girl not at home, Yi and Cheng Chou can't eat too many, and it would be a pity to waste them.”

Baizhi became even more baffled.

Such good items could go to waste?

Yet, she dared not accept such valuable items.

She looked towards the Sect Master instinctually.

Heavenly Note Sect calmly said, “As the head of the family, don't look at me.”

Head of the family…

The Sect Master actually listened to Jiang Hao.

That was truly surprising.

But…

So many peaches, these were valuable items.

Good for cultivation.

Jiang Hao was actually this generous.

And the Sect Master listened to him.

Though bizarre, she couldn't help herself.

She really wanted them.

Thus, she accepted the peaches, looking gratefully at Jiang Hao, instinctively wanting to bow.

But she paused instantly.

She didn't know how to express her thanks.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao immediately stopped her, “Sect Master, don't be like this. I am a junior and cannot bear such a gesture. If you want to thank, thank my wife.

After all, they are her items.”

Upon hearing this, Baizhi respectfully bowed to the Sect Master, “Thank you, Sect Master.”

The Sect Master said nothing but looked outside saying, “Little Wang.”

At this, a large black dog ran in from outside.

“Why have you turned black?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Woof woof!” Little Wang barked twice.

Jiang Hao nodded, “So the small girl took the white one with her, and you're the only one left?”

“Woof!” Little Wang wagged its tail and nodded.

Baizhi was puzzled as to why the Sect Master suddenly called for a dog.

Was it perhaps a hint from the Sect Master that, since she had taken the peaches, she needed to show sufficient loyalty?

Heavenly Note Sect spoke to Baizhi, “Since you are going to the eastern region, take Little Wang with you.”

“Ah?” Baizhi was momentarily unable to react.

She couldn't figure it out, something felt off.

Had the Sect Master changed after getting married, or had she changed?

Something felt wrong, but she couldn't articulate it.

Nevertheless, if the Sect Master instructed her to take the dog, she had to comply.

Why wasn't a question she needed to ask; executing Sect Master's orders was sufficient.

Afterward, Baizhi left; after all, it wasn't time to depart yet. Little Wang still needed to stay here to watch over things.

When it was time to leave, she would depart with Little Wang.

When only Jiang Hao and Heavenly Note Sect were left in the courtyard,

Heavenly Note Sect then smiled, “You really know how to play the good guy.”

“Age before beauty.” Jiang Hao smiled,

“Like Miao Tinglian and the others, asking me to call them 'junior sister' feels somewhat awkward.

It's the same here at the Sect Master's.”

“Would it feel less awkward if you called me 'senior sister'?” Heavenly Note Sect asked with slightly open eyes.

Jiang Hao laughed, “Not awkward, for senior sister's status is different from theirs.

You are the person closest to me, so this feels just right.”

Heavenly Note Sect rested her chin on her hand, watching Jiang Hao, remaining silent.

Then she saw the sun setting and slowly got up to walk towards the house.

Looking back at Jiang Hao, she said, “Come inside.”

Jiang Hao paused, then got up and went inside.

Worldly desires.

Jiang Hao didn't expect to have such desires.

——–

The next morning.

Jiang Hao sat in the balcony chair.

Brewing tea.

He drank a cup to quench his thirst.

Last night, he had discovered that the mark of the One Heart Palm actually glowed.

However, it had been a long time since he used the One Heart Palm.

He had actually never used this distance-spanning mark.

Maybe he could try it.

After all, the mark could be left at any time.

But he got delayed last night.

And forgot to mention the injury.

Now, Heavenly Note Sect was already sitting across from him.

Graceful and effortless, she styled her hair in a simple updo.

Elegant and dignified.

“What are you thinking about?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“I heard of a type of injury from Gu Jin,” replied Jiang Hao seriously. “He said that as times change and years pass, a special injury would appear.

To avoid this injury, some powerful beings need to sleep, and the Tao needs to be silent.

This injury usually appears after major eras, amid the changes of times.

I suspect this is the injury of the elder sister.

But how to treat it remains unknown; it is said that such an injury has never appeared before.

Whether it exists is debatable.”

Heavenly Note Sect picked up a teacup and sipped tea, saying, “It's alright for now; as long as no action is taken, it should be fine.”

Jiang Hao nodded and also breathed a sigh of relief.

This injury is truly strange, not like an injury from the years, nor like an injury from the Tao.

What could it be?

An injury from the times?

Jiang Hao couldn't conclude.

Perhaps he could continue searching for Lord Chengyun.

Jiang Hao then spoke about Lord Chengyun.

He also mentioned that after this contact, Seekers would appear one after another, and problems would also arise in the Corpse Realm.

“It seems Helpless Heaven and the Human Emperor have both experienced it,” Heavenly Note Sect remarked.

Jiang Hao nodded, “It's just right to try to seek out Helpless Heaven; if we encounter him, we can ask.”

Hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect instinctively looked towards Jiang Hao.

“What's wrong?” asked Jiang Hao.

“He might not like you very much,” Heavenly Note Sect replied.

“I haven't provoked that senior,” protested Jiang Hao innocently.

Heavenly Note Sect chuckled, “Sometimes they don't like what you say.”

Jiang Hao pondered. “I merely speak the truth.”

“That's even less likable,” Heavenly Note Sect covered her mouth, laughing as she replied.

Jiang Hao: “…”

With that, he stood up and said,” Elder sister, I'm going to find Cheng Chou and the others, arrange their affairs, and then we can head to the eastern region.”

“Alright,” nodded Heavenly Note Sect.

Elsewhere.

In the grand hall.

Baizhi had called the other Branch Masters.

As soon as everyone arrived, they were given some peaches.

Trying them, all were immensely shocked.

“Acting Sect Master, where did these come from?” asked a woman.

“The Sect Master gave them,” said Baizhi. “Take some yourselves, and then however you want to distribute them is fine.

Over by the Cliff of Broken Hearts–”

As she spoke, Baizhi looked over.

Ku Wu Chang spoke calmly, “I still eat occasionally; it's okay to have fewer.”

“Why do you always get to eat?” the Peak Master of Law Enforcement Hall asked.

“Gifts from disciples, people from Spirit Herb Garden eat these as their meals,” Ku Wu Chang answered.

Cheng Chou, Yi, small girl, Lin Zhi, they ate these from time to time.

The small girl was also filial, sending them occasionally.

When she wasn't home, Miao Tinglian would send them.

Everyone: “…”

Aren't they worried about these delicacies being snatched away?

Of course, they wouldn't dare.

“Additionally, the trip to the Immortal Clan is set; I'll lead the team over,” Baizhi announced.

“The establishment of the Supreme Immortal Court by the Immortal Clan will cause conflicts with others, won't it?” someone spoke up. “It should be extremely dangerous.”

Upon hearing this, Baizhi instinctively thought of Jiang Hao's words and smiled as she spoke,

“The news from the Immortal Clan is extraordinary; they won't obstruct it.”

Hearing this, everyone was somewhat surprised.

Baizhi continued, “Moreover, after I leave, if the sect encounters a formidable enemy, you can take my verbal command to the River of Deathly Silence and request Tian Xun to act.”

The crowd exclaimed; the Acting Sect Master was indeed different.

Baizhi also felt that after chatting with Sect Master Jiang Hao and the others, her demeanor had changed when facing others.

Initially, when there was only the Sect Master, it wasn't like this.

Jiang Hao's addition didn't worsen her situation, but instead…

Firmly suppressed others.

It was truly curious.

“Moreover, the Sect Master is currently at the Cliff of Broken Hearts; it's best not to have too obvious conflicts there.

This news is only known to us here, so if any information is leaked…

You know the consequences,” Baizhi warned the crowd.

“What about Liu Xingchen?” someone asked.

The Chief of the Law Enforcement Hall frowned, “He has no thoughts on this; it shouldn't amount to anything.”

“But his True Immortal cultivation; so far only the Sect Master can contend with him,” said a female Branch Master.

Hearing this, the Giant Spirit Clan spoke up, “I can fully suppress him.”

The other party was stunned for a moment but then spoke apologetically, “I wasn't used to it for a moment.”

“It's alright,” said the Chief of the Giant Spirit Clan, waving his hand.

After arguing for a while, everyone looked towards Baizhi.

Baizhi casually said, “Let him be, let him do whatever he should do.

No targeting, no favoring.”

The crowd was astonished.

The Sect Master had changed.

When had she become so confident?

That was someone with centuries of True Immortal cultivation.

Really just leaving him be?

In a few centuries, no one would be his match.

No targeting, but at least try to win him over.
