Of course, this guy was unworthy.

However, Shen Bai had no intention of exposing him.

After asking around during this period of time, he already knew why his dear son who had passed away would appear at the opposite location of the trial grounds. It was all because of this Jiang Hong.

Of course, he also understood that Shen Xingjian only had himself to blame. If he had not wanted to take revenge on the other party, why would he have been killed by a spy?

Shen Bai was a sensible person. He knew all about this, but so what?

Shen Xingjian is my son. Who do you think you are, Jiang Hong?

Why should he reprimand his own flesh and blood for an outsider?

“I wanted to find an opportunity to teach you a lesson, but I didn’t expect you to come knocking on my door.”

Shen Bai looked at the calm lake and muttered in a low voice.

Ordinary disciples didn’t know that this was actually the residence of the sect’s divine beast, the Jinghe Dragon King. According to Mo Mingxuan’s description, Jiang Hong had most likely been captured by the Dragon King.

Although the sect-protecting divine beast could not hurt the disciples of the sect, its might was real.

That night, merely a phantom image had caused Shen Bai to feel an enormous pressure. Up until now, when he recalled it, his chest couldn’t help but tremble.

Jiang Hong had trespassed into the forbidden area. The Dragon King’s anger had proabably scared him out of his wits.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai could not help but smile.

So what if you’re talented? So what if you’re respected by Gu Yiping? If you trespass into the forbidden area, even if your master ends her closed-door cultivation, she won’t be able to save you.

“I understand. You guys can go back first.”

Shen Bai waved his sleeve and jumped into the bottom of the pool.

When the lake calmed down, Mo Mingxuan stopped pretending and immediately laughed excitedly.

“Jiang Hong, Jiang Hong, you’re still too young to fight me.”

Lackey Number One also agreed skillfully.

“Congratulations, Boss. This way, Boss will become the focus of the sect.”

“I told you to keep a low profile. I’m not interested in fame and fortune.”

Mo Mingxuan said that, but he looked like he was about to drool. He could no longer hide his excitement.

He paused and said, “But we still have to celebrate. Let’s go. I’ll invite you to the brothel today to listen to music.”

“Boss is generous!”

Mo Mingxuan and Lackey Number One were chatting and laughing, enthusiastically discussing how they were going to fight five people alone later.

But Lackey Number Two looked worried.

“Just accompany me to the brothel. Are you reluctant to go with me?” Mo Mingxuan was unhappy.

“Boss, of course not.” Lackey Number Two shook his head in fear.

Then, he frowned and said with a worried expression,

“I’m just thinking that since Jiang Hong is already dead, why did Elder Shen go inside the pool?”

That’s right. He was already dead. Why did he still go inside the pool?

Mo Mingxuan was stunned when he heard what Number Two said. He couldn’t help but frown and think.

Lackey Number One, who was in a hurry to shop around the brothel, immediately said,

“Elder Shen must have gone down to confirm Jiang Hong’s death. After all, Elder Shen is a very responsible person. Even if it’s a disciple who violated the sect’s rules, he would definitely want to find his corpse intact.”

When Mo Mingxuan heard this, he puffed out his chest and raised his head. He sighed, “In the entire Black Heaven Sect, only Elder Shen Bai makes me admire his character and morals. He’s second only to me.”

“Boss is wise.”

The problem was easily solved. The two of them continued to laugh as they walked towards the brothel.

“But.”

Lackey Number Two’s furrowed brows did not relax. Instead, his puzzled gaze became even more intense.

“If you say one more word, you won’t be able to go to the brothel anymore.”

Mo Mingxuan glared at him impatiently. No matter how worried Number Two was, he could only shut his mouth obediently and finish his unfinished sentence silently in his heart.

However, Jiang Hong was swallowed by a river clam. He shouldn’t have a corpse. Then why did Elder Shen Bai go inside the pool? To pry open the river clam?

…

At the same time.

At the entrance of the Blue Wave Pond, Jiang Hong, who was panting, suddenly realized a very important problem.

When he was with Senior Sister Gu, he could always trigger the explosive increase in his vitality attribute points. When he was with the divine beast that claimed to be his junior sister, who had lived for an unknown period of time, his agility attribute points would increase explosively.

No matter which one of them it was, they only specialized in one attributes. In addition, when he beat up Liu Yuan previously, he could only continuously gain attribute points for his spiritual energy. This meant that he would be able to specialize on one of his attributes if he freeload off of one of them continuously.

According to this situation, was there someone who could provide attribute points for his enlightment attribute?

But why did it have to be them?

Was there something special about them, or did they have something in common?

To be honest, Jiang Hong was very concerned about this.

If he could discover the reason for the explosive increases, he might be able to trigger the notifications more easily, instead of it being as random as it was now.

It seemed that he had to do more experiments.

“According to our current relationship, Eldest Senior Sister is undoubtedly the best candidate. However, every time we agreed to impart the Dao, Eldest Senior Sister would always find various reasons to reject it. Even if I wanted to leave, she would use various reasons to prevent me from leaving…”

This way, even if he stayed at his senior sister’s house in the future and spent the night with her, he would probably not be able to do any experiments.

Looking at it this way…

“The only option left is the divine beast now.”

Although he didn’t know why this self-proclaimed junior sister was flattering him so much, she was more suitable to do experiments.

Moreover, if possible, he might be able to learn a few divine powers.

Now, his master had been in seclusion for a long time and showed no signs of leaving. Eldest Senior Sister was originally the best candidate to freeload off, but if he said too much, he would be tired… In conclusion, Jiang Hong decided that his freeloading target would shift to Ao Yueli.

There was no time to lose. He began to take action.

“Brother Hong, so you’re here. I’ve been looking for you.”

Speak of the devil.

Ao Yueli waved her small hands and had an infectious sweet smile on her face. Her shell sandals made a crisp sound like a silver bell as she came in front of him and immediately hugged his arm intimately.

Her little tail, which was half floating in the air, seemed to be swaying left and right because the good mood.

This woman’s friendlyness was a little overbearing. She was so clingy. Could it be that she wanted to cut my waist when I was unprepared… Seeing that they had only met for a few minutes and were already so familiar with each other, Jiang Hong could not help but doubt Ao Yueli.

Jiang Hong naturally did not doubt his handsome appearance and talent. If this was a woman whose cultivation level was not much different from his, he would not doubt her. However, the other party’s identity was obvious.

Why was she simping for him like this?

“Anyway, it doesn’t seem like much at the moment. Moreover, with her cultivation level, if she really wants to do anything to me, I won’t be able to resist.”

Jiang Hong muttered in his heart. Just as he was about to carry out his first experiment…

“How dare you, Jiang Hong! You trespassed the forbidden area without permission! Do you know your crime?”

Bang!

Water splashed everywhere.

Like a dragon coming out of its habitat.

Shen Bai suddenly jumped out of the pool. His gaze was fierce as he looked like he wanted to punish Jiang Hong on the spot.

However, just as he was about to continue, he was stunned.

The sweet smile on Ao Yueli’s face disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

She said lightly,

“What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly. Say it again.”
