Chapter 511: He Might Have Caught the Eye of a Senior Female Cultivator

In the sea fog, the two of them fell silent for a moment.

The man who was preparing for a sneak attack suddenly said, “Tong Lu is dead, which means the Heavenly Note Sect is on the move. We need to be careful.”

“I understand. Since they want to come in, let them in. I’ll make sure no one can return.” The man in charge of arrangements nodded.

“Don’t act recklessly,” said the man who was preparing for a sneak attack.

“Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I won’t,” said the man in charge of arrangements.

The two fell silent again. The man preparing for a sneak attack knew that if they were at their wit’s end, the person beside him would stop at nothing to find that person and avenge Tong Lu.

But being at their wit’s end meant their plan had failed.

How could the plan fail?

Unless there was a major unexpected event in the Imperial City, it wouldn’t fail. Even in the case of an unexpected event, they wouldn’t leave empty-handed.

They had been preparing for so long and had considered many possibilities. As people who had awakened from the depths, patience was something they had in abundance.

In early March, Jiang Hao had been waiting at the outpost for three days.

He sensed people heading deeper into the area one by one and bringing with them the Sea Patrol Spirit Beasts and thieving sea monsters.

Their cultivation realms were all very high. It was even impossible to see through.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrival of such a powerful group of people meant that he was much safer.

However, he couldn’t let his guard down. Tong Lu’s death would definitely alert the people inside.

The future was still uncertain.

His immediate priority was to clean the walls.

The dirt on these walls was unbelievably thick. It was almost like a new layer of wall.

Luckily, there were bubbles.

Half a month later, Jiang Hao noticed that his act of cleaning the walls had made progress. He got bubbles similar to the previous month.

There were many white bubbles, quite a few green bubbles, and about nine blue bubbles.

It was twice as many as watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

During this half month, there didn’t seem to be any changes in the depths.

At least there were no power fluctuations coming from there, or perhaps it was too far to sense.

But the sea fog was surging, and he was keeping an eye on it. If there were any significant changes, he would be able to sense them. He would have to leave then.

Suddenly, he felt something vibrate on his body.

It was the stone tablet.

“Are we going to have a gathering?

Out of curiosity, he put the cloth aside and secretly observed to see how the creatures would steal it.

However, after waiting for a while, he didn’t see any of the sea monsters making a move.

After that, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Tonight’s meeting meant he needed to find a place to stay with Zheng Shijiu to avoid being disturbed.

But as soon as he came out, he saw people in the mine talking in low voices.

They were using secret techniques, and their voices were transmitted to his mind.

“Look, the manager is out. He’s been cleaning the walls for almost two months.

What do you think he’s here for?”

“Isn’t it obvious? He’s here to clean the walls.”

The person asking the question was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

“I don’t believe his group’s claims. What secrets could there be in the walls? They’re all just trying to deceive us. Perhaps a female senior has taken a fancy to him and asked him to come here to gain experience so that he can righteously make contributions.”

“Didn’t they chase the thieving sea monsters to earn merit before? Most likely, someone arranged it.”

“What about the wall cleaning?

“It’s just a smokescreen to make him appear special and to highlight his achievements. Whether it’s the sect or us overseas, it’s the same. You guys are just too young. You see something and believe it. There must be someone orchestrating all this just to make him stand out.”

“So, you’re saying he’s just a pretty face? I don’t think so. I don’t think he’s as handsome as me.”

“What if some senior female just happens to like this type?”

Jiang Hao didn’t linger and didn’t pay much attention to their thoughts. He couldn’t stop or interfere with them.

As long as it didn’t cause him trouble, it was fine.

He was afraid that someone would really believe he was cleaning the walls to reveal some secrets and would keep an eye on him.

That would be the most troublesome.

Once he left, someone might go in to explore.

Once the secret was discovered, he wouldn’t be able to clean the walls anymore.

The heavenly Note Sect would definitely send someone to take over.

The mine remained unclaimed because it was small and unremarkable. Those people turned a blind eye to it.

But the secret that the walls could produce bubbles was definitely not simple.

The Heavenly Note Sect was not a good sect. Anything they set their eyes on would be theirs unless the other person was too strong to fight.

So far, there was no one stronger than the Heavenly Note Sect nearby.

“Junior Brother Jiang, aren’t you cleaning the walls anymore?” Xin Yuyue was surprised to see Jiang Hao out.

The others were also surprised.

“Yeah. I’m taking a break for two days.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Your room has already been arranged, and no one will disturb you,” Zheng Shijiu said. “We’ll seal off the walls on that side as well, so it won’t affect your rest. ”

Jiang Hao thanked them with a bow.

They really had arranged everything for him.

Doing sect missions with them was great.

They didn’t ask too many questions and took advice readily.

After that, left and returned to his room and waited for midnight to arrive.

This time, he needed to consider what questions he would face during the gathering.

There shouldn’t be anything major, but he had to inform the people in the Imperial City about the Saint Bandits.

No matter what, the Saint Bandits were too closely related to him, and he couldn’t let them grow stronger.

Now was the time to turn his thoughts into action.

If he let Gui take action, it would be a trade, and he would need to offer her something in return.

He couldn’t afford that.

So, if they had a mission, then he could inform them of the situation.

This way, he didn’t have to pay them. Instead, he would receive a reward.

It depended on whether they had something they needed. If not, he could only tell them about what he had seen.

If no one cards, then he’ll have to reconsider.

Jiang Hao began to think about the best choice.

Unknowingly, it was already midnight.

The only solution he came up with was to complete tasks that others couldn’t, such as those related to the heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

There was indeed a solution, but the cost was too high.

Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed. “Let’s see for now.”

After entering the public area, Jiang Hao arrived at his designated seat.

“Greetings, Senior Dan Yuan.”

The four of them bowed to Dan Yuan.

After they were seated, Dan Yuan said, “Do you have any questions about your cultivation?”

Gui hesitated but did not speak.

Liu and Xing also didn’t say anything.

Jiang Hao remained as silent as ever.

“Then, do you have any information about the Saint Bandits?” Dan Yuan asked.

“I saw signs of cooperation between the Saint Bandits and the royal family in the Imperial City,” Gui said.

“Oh?” Dan Yuan was interested. “Do you have the details?”

“I only saw some formations, and there’s a certain probability that they were inviting talented youths,” Gui said.

She couldn’t figure it out either. Although she had been paying attention recently, she hadn’t conducted a thorough investigation.

“The royal family wouldn’t cooperate with the Saint Bandits, at least not in stealing talents,” said Jiang Hao suddenly.

“Why?” Gui asked.

‘Good question…’ Jiang Hao really thought Gui always asked the right questions. The more he answered at this stage, the more advantageous it was for him. If Gui didn’t ask the relevant questions, he couldn’t keep talking..
