Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1475  The Demoness Is Uneasy (3)

'I don't smile, either. So, why not let me be?' Jiang Hao thought and sighed inwardly.

He quickly left.

Fortunately, Senior Sister Miao did not follow him, as Senior Brother Mu Qi held her back.

"Junior Brother, I've already calculated it! Your destined Dao partner is older than you. How much older do you like? Wait, Junior Brother! I can really figure it out..." Miao Tinglian's voice followed behind him.

'I prefer someone slightly younger than me…' Jiang Hao thought.

Then, he left without turning back.

Returning to his courtyard, Jiang Hao began to comprehend the seventh form of the Heavenly Blade, along with other techniques.

Once he settled down, he focused on refining his mind, studying the seventh form of the Heavenly Blade, and the nameless manual.

After that, he just had to wait for the gathering, then obtain the pill, and find a way to give it to his Master.

This would also make it unnecessary for Senior Brother Bai Yi to take over the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

While Senior Brother Bai Yi was good, his strength was still at the Return to Void Realm. It meant that his cultivation and mental state might become unstable. It would be better to give him more time to grow. @@novelbin@@

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao waited for another half a year, but the gathering did not happen.

Gui had already taken You Tian away.

They did not meet, which was a good thing.

After all, Gui was unlucky.

The next year, in January, Jiang Hao was still studying. By now, his heart had calmed down considerably, and his state of mind had greatly improved.

"Eighty-one years old…" Jiang Hao sighed.

He had been five years old when he left home.

Seventy-six years had passed since then.

No matter how long he lived, his family was just ordinary non-cultivators. They probably would not meet again.

Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it and got back to his studies.

...

After leaving the Heavenly Note Sect, Bi Zhu let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we're out. That place was too unlucky."

She patted her chest in relief. "Luckily, we didn't run into him, or I would've cried."

There was an extremely unlucky person in the South, and that was Jiang Hao.

Not because he did anything, but because of what he possessed.

Just getting close to him made it easy to get entangled in Karmic consequences, especially for someone like her, who was more susceptible because of her unique constitution.

"Where are we going now, Princess?" Qiao Yi asked curiously, particularly because there was a man following them.

He was You Tian.

"Why were the people from the Heavenly Note Sect so polite to you?" You Tian asked curiously.

"Because I'm their big customer," Bi Zhu said.

"So, what do you plan to do with me?" You Tian asked.

"We're going to help you restore your cultivation and send you back to the Heavenly Gate Sect," Bi Zhu said.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Just don't make things difficult for me."

Seeing his confusion, Bi Zhu added, "I did some small business that your Heavenly Gate Sect wasn't too happy about, so just make sure they don't bother me."

"Small business?" You Tian was a bit uncertain.

"Really, it's nothing big," said Bi Zhu seriously.

You Tian could only nod in agreement.

"Alright, I'll arrange a place for you now and help you recover your cultivation." Bi Zhu said with a smile.

"No need for me to swear an oath or use some spell to restrict me?" You Tian asked.

Hearing this, Bi Zhu laughed. "No, I trust you."

Qiao Yi did not say anything. She knew the princess would definitely have a backup plan.

She did not know how the princess would manage it, but she was not a naive person.

...

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, Hong Yuye, who was sitting in the pavilion, slowly opened her eyes.

She looked puzzled and felt uneasy.

Then, he took a step forward and disappeared.

When she reappeared, she was in Jiang Hao's courtyard.

She saw him crouched before the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and tending to its leaves.

Before she could speak, he turned and looked at her.

His nose twitched. He probably recognized the faint, familiar fragrance.

"You seem to have been free for quite some time," Hong Yuye said.
