Chapter 292: Making Do Here?

Su Jingzhen was taken aback by the voice. It was none other than Luo Yuebai.

“Coming over in the middle of the night, what does she want?”

He muttered to himself, but still pushed open the door.

Luo Yuebai stood gracefully in the courtyard, still in her pristine white gown as before.

The silvery moonlight bathed her in its glow, making her appear like a celestial fairy descended from the heavens.

“Miss Luo, you came to find me at this late hour. Is there something important?”

His address to Luo Yuebai had changed from “Sect Leader” to “Miss Luo,” making their interaction feel less formal.

Luo Yuebai’s lips curved into a pleasing smile.

“Where would cultivators have such rigid notions of time? Master Su, you’ve been gone to Yunmeng City for so long, is there nothing you want to report to your sect leader?”

As she spoke, Luo Yuebai walked into the nearby pavilion and sat down.

Su Jingzhen followed suit, sitting opposite her.

Luo Yuebai propped her chin on her hands, her beautiful eyes blinking as she stared at Su Jingzhen.

This gaze made Su Jingzhen feel a little uncomfortable.

He still thought he had a flower on his face.

“Miss Luo, what is this…?”

Before he could finish, Luo Yuebai continued, “Don’t you have anything to tell me?

For example, what level of alchemist is Master Su?

I believe I am still qualified to know.

If it weren’t for Third Grandfather noticing that the Breaking Through Adversity Pill you gave me was of super grade quality, who knows, you might have already become a part of Feng family in Yunmeng City.”

Her tone was serious, but the shock and joy in her heart finally couldn’t be contained.

This shift in emotions caused a line of golden text to appear before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

Luo Yuebai had finally delivered a triple hit.

Su Jingzhen felt a wave of relief wash over him.

That’s right.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Su Jingzhen maintained a calm facade.

Su Jingzhen wasn’t planning on hiding anything from Luo Yuebai about this.

“Being able to refine a super-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill was entirely thanks to the guidance of my wife.

And right now, if I put all my effort into it and get lucky, I should be able to refine a third-grade pill, reaching the level of a third-grade alchemist.”

He had always told Luo Yuebai that Shuang Jiang was cultivating in a unique place on Clear Wind Mountain.

So, continuing to use Shuang Jiang as a shield didn’t seem like a problem to him.

However, when he said this, a sneer curled up at the corner of Luo Yuebai’s lips.

“Still your wife, your wife… Your excuse fooled me for a while, but do you think you can fool me forever?

That Shuang Jiang should have already left this small place, right?

Why are you always so suspicious of me? All this time, I, Luo Yuebai, have considered myself honest with you.

And how have you treated me? With lies.”

There was a hint of resentment in Luo Yuebai’s voice.

Su Jingzhen opened his mouth, wanting to argue and bring up Shuang Jiang again.

But suddenly, he felt it was pointless.

Since Luo Yuebai had directly confronted him, she must have some information.

Continuing to use Shuang Jiang as an excuse wouldn’t be appropriate.

Besides, as Luo Yuebai said, since Luo Yuebai had shown interest in him, everything she had done had been straightforward.

He, Su Jingzhen, seemed to have been constantly accepting gifts from Luo Yuebai or the Evil Moon Sect.

After a moment of reflection, although everything he had done was to secure his place in the cultivation world, he did lack integrity.

As he thought this, Luo Yuebai spoke again: “Since I publicly acknowledged you as the Chief Acolyte of my Evil Moon Sect that day, I have already treated you as one of my own.

I also understand that every cultivator has their own secrets, and I’m not asking you to reveal everything, am I?”

Luo Yuebai guided him again.

As she spoke, Su Jingzhen felt a pang of shame.

But it was only for a moment before he noticed the cunning glint in Luo Yuebai’s eyes.

He immediately realized that Luo Yuebai was still trying to trick him.

Even so, Su Jingzhen didn’t intend to deceive Luo Yuebai about Shuang Jiang anymore.

He spoke frankly: “Since that’s the case, I won’t hide anything from you.

Miss Shuang Jiang has indeed left Linjiang City’s territory, and as for where she went, I have no idea.

And she is not my wife either.”

A wry smile touched Su Jingzhen’s lips as he said this.

Before Luo Yuebai could ask further, Su Jingzhen continued, “Regarding these matters, I didn’t intend to deliberately conceal them from Miss Luo.

This is simply the most normal way for cultivators to secure their place in the world.

I hope Miss Luo can understand. As for what I said before, about refining a super-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill, it does have something to do with Miss Shuang Jiang.

Because on Clear Wind Mountain, there is indeed a unique place, but now only I can enter it.

The key to it all still lies in Miss Shuang Jiang’s methods.”

He had never concealed the existence of that unique place from the beginning, it’s just that Luo Yuebai didn’t believe him at first.

Moreover, he had already thought about it before, after he unraveled the secrets of that place, he would turn it into a secret alchemy base for the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

At that time, it would naturally become public knowledge.

Of course, he wasn’t sure if he could bring others into it after he solved the mystery of the place.

So, for now, it was just an idea.

Su Jingzhen’s tone was sincere at this moment.

Hearing this, Luo Yuebai nodded silently.

She immediately believed his words.

[Remaining usable points: 521]

Seeing that the points had increased again, Su Jingzhen felt a wave of relief.

He also knew that Luo Yuebai should believe him.

Luo Yuebai nodded: “I only hope that Master Su understands that I have never harbored any ill intentions towards you.”

If it weren’t for her curiosity about Su Jingzhen in Peach Blossom Alley and her desire to uncover his secrets in her own way,

Otherwise, with Luo Yuebai’s previous habits, she would have probably ordered someone to kidnap him.

So what Luo Yuebai said now was indeed true.

If she had let other core disciples of the Evil Moon Sect interact with Su Jingzhen first, Su Jingzhen might not even be alive right now.

Luo Yuebai then asked proactively, “I heard from Third Grandfather that you took over the Spiritual Medicine Sect. How do you plan to settle them?”

The matter of the Spiritual Medicine Sect was also one of the main reasons Luo Yuebai came to see Su Jingzhen this time.

And when she mentioned the Spiritual Medicine Sect, Su Jingzhen could clearly feel Luo Yuebai’s excitement.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, she asked again, “How did you come up with the idea of taking over the Spiritual Medicine Sect?”

Su Jingzhen smiled at this, “There wasn’t any other special reason.

The Spiritual Medicine Sect Master was just too enthusiastic and insisted on giving the sect to us.”

Then Su Jingzhen told Luo Yuebai everything that happened that day in Tianning City.

He also told her about his idea of developing a group of alchemists for the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch.

After hearing Su Jingzhen’s plans, the light in Luo Yuebai’s eyes became even brighter.

“Tell me more about the alchemist group!”

Then Su Jingzhen told Luo Yuebai all his ideas, including his plan to utilize the unique place in the canyon on Clear Wind Mountain.

He originally formed this alchemist group to solidify his position within the Evil Moon Sect.

And within the Evil Moon Sect, he trusted Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng.

After all, the Spiritual Medicine Sect was originally a gift from Shen Yifeng.

That day, Shen Yifeng could have completely taken control of the contract marks on Zhao Tianming and Lin Xiong.

In that case, he wouldn’t say anything.

But when Su Jingzhen finished speaking, a line of golden text appeared before his eyes again.

[Remaining usable points: 533]

This directly led to Luo Yuebai’s triple hit, which was beyond Su Jingzhen’s expectations.

But he couldn’t understand why Luo Yuebai had such a big reaction to this matter.

“Master Su, the Spiritual Medicine Sect will become your foundation, and Treasure Gathering Pavilion will also become your connection.

But you are also my member, you have to admit that, right?”

Luo Yuebai said this to Su Jingzhen, her tone also filled with a hint of cunning.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t find any point to refute her words.

He, the Great Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect, was appointed by Luo Yuebai.

He was naturally Luo Yuebai’s member.

Even at this stage, his status and glory were all given by Luo Yuebai, they were in a situation where they rose and fell together.

Looking at Luo Yuebai’s gaze, Su Jingzhen was a little surprised.

Luo Yuebai’s position in the Evil Moon Sect should be quite high.

However, he didn’t ask about it.

After spending just over an hour with Luo Yuebai tonight, he had already gained dozens of points, which was a pleasant surprise.

At this point, Luo Yuebai seemed to have endless things to say. Seaʀch* The Nôvel(F)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After about an hour, she got up and prepared to leave.

After talking for so long, Luo Yuebai didn’t mention Feng Qingya at all.

Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “It’s so late tonight.

Since Miss Luo and I have already been so frank with each other, why don’t we just make do with it here tonight?”
