Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1466  Some People Have Already Seen Each Other For The Last Time (1)

At the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Jiang Hao walked along the mountain path.

Along the way, he met many people but only brushed past them without talking to them.

He did not recognize the people around him, and they naturally had no idea who he was. @@novelbin@@

When he reached places with guards, he simply walked straight past them without being noticed.

These people's cultivation realms were around the Primordial Spirit Realm, similar to his displayed cultivation, so they could not detect him.

When he arrived at the peak of a mountain, Jiang Hao saw an old man.

He sat in a pavilion and looked at the stars in the sky.

"Senior, what are you looking at?" Jiang Hao walked up to him curiously.

Shang An's Master turned to look at him in shock.

However, he quickly regained his composure and secretly sent out a distress signal.

Jiang Hao did not expose him.

"Who might you be?" asked Shang An's Master as he got up.

The person before him appeared to be in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, but how could someone in that realm appear silently beside him?

It was impossible.

Moreover, someone at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm could not even reach this peak.

"I guess you can say I'm Shang An's friend," said Jiang Hao.

Shang An's Master looked at him in disbelief and said, "Are you a disciple of the Clear Sky School?"

Jiang Hao shook his head. "No. I'm not from an immortal sect."

Shang An's Master nodded. "I see. Does he have friends outside as well?"

After all, Shang An did not even know who he really was.

"He probably doesn't think of me as a friend," said Jiang Hao truthfully.

After all, Shang An did not even know who he really was.

Even if he felt that he had met Jiang Hao before, he was not sure where he had met him.

"He would. If you consider him a friend, he would certainly see you as one," said Shang An's Master.

His wariness subsided a little, and his face looked kinder.

"Senior, aren't you going to see him?" Jiang Hao asked.

"No." Shang An's Master shook his head without hesitation.

"What if he refuses to leave at all?" Jiang Hao asked.

"He's not a fool. He'll definitely leave. After all, he has something he needs to do. I can't stop him, but he won't get my approval for it either," said Shang An's Master firmly.

Then, he let out a long sigh. "If I don't see him now, he won't come back. If I do, he'll think I welcome him, and getting involved with someone like me would damage his reputation."

Jiang Hao was surprised.

This master and disciple pair was indeed strange.

"Senior, you're a member of a demonic sect. How could you possibly affect him?" Jiang Hao asked. "Besides, he doesn't care about those things. If he makes up his mind to do something, he just doesn't care what others might think of it. For example… that Charm Goddess that he likes…"

Shang An's Master looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief when he heard that.

"You... You know about that?" he asked.

He had thought that only he and Shang An knew about that. He did not expect that someone else knew about it as well.

Logically, Shang An would not talk about it with anyone else.

If this person knew about it, then he must be someone extraordinary.

"It's not that difficult to find out," Jiang Hao said softly.

After a long silence, Shang An's Master finally asked, "Do you think I'm wrong to stop him?"

"No. If it were me, I'd stop him too. Not because it might affect his future, but simply because that person is not worth it," said Jiang Hao helplessly. "But I won't do that anymore…"

"Why?" Shang An's Master was surprised.

"Shang An is an Immortal Human, a peerless genius, and someone who chooses to bear the responsibilities he sets for himself. He has his own understanding and opinion. He has to make his own choice. If he decides to do something, he'll bear the consequences. You and I… We aren't him, so we can't understand his feelings," said Jiang Hao.

"But I can tell from a glance that he will suffer," said Shang An's Master.

"Yeah, I think so too," Jiang Hao said.

For a moment, Shang An's Master felt as if he had found a kindred spirit. "Since I know that he'll suffer, shouldn't I try my best to stop him?"

"How can a fish know the pleasure of another fish?" Jiang Hao asked.

Hearing this, Shang An's Master was stunned.

Jiang Hao smiled. "You can't stop him, so why not let nature take its course?"

"I can't let it be. That child doesn't understand, but that doesn't mean, as adults, we remain ignorant," said Shang An's Master uneasily.

He felt that Shang An was heading down the wrong path with no return.

Jiang Hao looked at the man before him and smiled.

"The cycle of Karma is not yet complete, and the ties to the mortal world have not been severed. Shang An, who is caught in this situation, cannot abandon his path. Perhaps the Charm Goddess isn't so bad for him after all. But no matter what happens in the end, Shang An cannot escape this calamity. Moreover..."

Jiang Hao looked at the person before him and said, "Shang An has long since grown up."

Upon hearing these words, Shang An's master stood there in a daze.

Shang An was no longer the same as before.

His Karma was still unsettled.

Shang An's motivation to cultivate diligently came from the Charm Goddess. She had set him on this path. If he did not repay her, his Karma would remain unfulfilled.

Shang An's master lowered his head and, for a moment, collapsed onto the pavilion seat.

"Have I been too persistent?" he asked.

Jiang Hao looked at him and sighed. "Not all flowers bloom in spring, and not all rivers flow into the sea. He has his own understanding and his own beliefs. He won't live under another person's words. He lives through the seasons and flows in all directions with determination, perseverance, and courage. He can overcome any obstacle. Senior, you needn't worry about him because of yourself. Why not watch him grow? Perhaps he will overcome all obstacles and reach the peak sooner than you hope."

Looking at the person before him, Shang An's Master found himself at a loss for words.
