Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1576: 1341 special channel Miao Tinglian encounters the demoness again_2

Bai Ye said with a smile:

“Some things you just know if you think about them, but his odds of winning aren’t high on the surface.”

“But in reality, who can say for certain?”

“We can’t afford to mess with such a person, and neither can Manlong.”

“Junior Brother Jiang is actually quite easy to talk to, we’ve been dealing with him smoothly these years,” Lian Qin said.

“Yes, as long as you’re friendly to him, things go smoothly. He isn’t one to cause trouble, but whoever offends him will definitely regret it, like me,” Bai Ye said with a bitter smile.

If it weren’t for a moment’s misjudgment back then, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

“Right, when is the challenge?” Bai Ye asked.

“Next month, the beginning of November, not many days left,” Lian Qin said.

“Where will it be?” Bai Ye asked again.

“It’s said to be just a regular arena, no special place was chosen,” Lian Qin replied.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye felt that was more like it.

That person probably doesn’t need special external aids.

The opponent is no simple matter, but how complicated, he is unsure.

In any case, it must be one of those people from the Sect Master.

——

After knowing about the challenge, the Cliff of Broken Hearts was abuzz.

Cheng Chou was a bit surprised, and somewhat excited.

He came up to Jiang Hao and said somewhat incoherently: “Senior Brother is going to become the top disciple… Senior Brother is going to be the top disciple… Senior Brother is challenging the top disciple?”

Jiang Hao looked at him and simply nodded: “Yeah.”

“Then our branch is going to have…” Cheng Chou looked around, making sure it was okay, then continued in a low voice:

“Two top disciples from the Cliff of Broken Hearts?”

The entire sect’s twelve main branches.

Not every branch has a top disciple.

After all, there are only ten top disciples.

Now the Cliff of Broken Hearts is poised to have two, which naturally excites people.

However, many also realize why Jiang Hao suddenly began explaining about cultivation.

It turns out it was for the Blood Wish Path.

And everyone is willing to contribute their Blood Wishes.

That way, can’t people say that Senior Brother Jiang became the top disciple partly due to their merit?

Without their Blood Wishes, it wouldn’t be easy for Senior Brother Jiang to become the top disciple.

Although he’s not yet the top disciple, there are always people who think about it.

And then the days went by, one after the other.

The news of the challenge for the position of top disciple soon spread throughout the entire sect.

Senior Sister Zhou Chan even sought out Jiang Hao.

She was somewhat admiring.

Jiang Hao, however, shook his head and said: “Senior Sister Zhou Chan is even more remarkable, already at the early stage of the Return to Void.”

Zhou Chan doesn’t seem diligent, but even so, her progress isn’t much different from Han Ming’s.

It should be slightly slower.

But there isn’t much of a difference afterwards.

Of course, realms are one thing, strength is another.

In a real fight, Han Ming would definitely have the advantage.

It’s just unknown which of the two will ascend first.

After all, sometimes opportunity plays an important role.

“Of course, I am no match for Junior Brother,” Zhou Chan said with a smile, looking at Jiang Hao: “But Junior Brother really hasn’t changed one bit in a hundred years. Most people would show some changes over such a time.”

“Junior Brother’s gaze is still so pure.”

“Like an ancient well without ripples.”

“I think Junior Brother might really succeed.”

Jiang Hao said with a smile: “Thank you for your kind words, Senior Sister. In fact, many people haven’t changed either.”

They’re as bad as before.

I’m not much different.

Only that I don’t bear ill will towards others.

And someone like Senior Sister Zhou Chan certainly wouldn’t harbor any malice either.”

Zhou Chan, who can discern good and evil, would naturally feel that he has never changed.

As November approached,

many rumors began to circulate.

Saying that Jiang Hao didn’t deserve to be the top disciple, saying that he simply relied on the Blood Wish Path.

How could someone without a future, not relying on their own cultivation, possibly become a top disciple?

These voices were numerous.

Sometimes Cheng Chou would even feel angry.

But he did nothing.

Because he sought out Jiang Hao, who merely responded with a serene smile.

This reminded him of what his Senior Brother once said to him.

These voices are doomed to be buried by the years, not worth caring about.

So he also ignored them.

But Senior Sister Miao Tinglian was not so easy to deal with.

She fought and defeated whoever she encountered, and no one could beat her.

And if she couldn’t win, there was Mu Qi.

Mu Qi, at the peak of the Return to Void Realm, had no match in their age category except for the top ten disciples.

So the voices against Jiang Hao eventually dwindled, and more and more people began to accuse Miao Tinglian and Mu Qi.

One day, Jiang Hao saw them being called by their master.

When they came out, Miao Tinglian even made a special trip to find him.

“They say he’s really a lucky star.”

“It seems he won’t be punished after all.”

Jiang Hao simply replied indifferently, “Does Senior Sister then repay kindness with ingratitude?”

“Youth is ignorant of the good in companionship,” Miao Tinglian said disdainfully, “You’ll understand later.”

The beginning of November.

The day to challenge for the top disciple position.

Today the entire sect was on high alert.

Challenging for the top disciple position was a major event, naturally, no problems could arise.

Hundred Flowers Lake.

Heavenly Note Sect sat in the pavilion, staring into the distance, pondering unknown thoughts.

“It’s the beginning of November.”

She murmured to herself and gently rose to her feet.

“It’s been a while since I’ve gone out for a stroll.”

“I wonder if that person is still keeping count.”

As her words fell, she took a step forward, and in an instant, vanished from the spot.

When she reappeared, she was already on a small path within the Heavenly Note Sect.

There were people hurrying along the path, but they quickly made way.

All because Heavenly Note Sect manifested on this path.

But no one noticed her.

“Hurry, let’s get a good spot. The challenge for the top disciple doesn’t happen often,” a seemingly strong middle-aged man urged, “The last challenge was during the previous one; we mustn’t miss it.”

“How many years ago was the last one?” a young disciple inquired.

“Eighty years? Anyway, it’s been a long time, hurry up, or we won’t get a good spot,” the middle-aged man urged.

Heavenly Note Sect also walked on the road, occasionally overhearing others discussing the upcoming battle for the top disciple.

“Jiang Hao is nothing but trash from the Blood Wish Path, he can’t possibly win.”

“Why can’t he? I know Senior Brother Jiang’s strength; just listening to him expound on doctrines reveals his depth.”

“You’re just blinded by your blood wish for him.”

“Hmph, this blood wish nonsense is your own fantasy, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained,” one person retorted.

Heavenly Note Sect paid no attention, simply noting that someone was calculating her fate again.

It shouldn’t take long for them to come looking for her.

She then took up a high position and watched the distant arena.

At the moment, there was no one on the arena.

But there were many people around, some even standing in the sky on their swords.

Elsewhere.

Mu Qi’s residence.

Miao Tinglian was frantically making calculations.

She originally planned to watch her junior brother’s challenge match.

Then, suddenly, a stroke of inspiration struck her.

She felt it was an opportune moment to calculate a marital connection.

Indeed, she glimpsed something.

At that moment, Mu Qi was also frowning, exerting all his strength to sustain the divine item.

They, as a couple, were still too weak.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation.

After a long while, when the divine item could almost no longer bear the strain,

Miao Tinglian suddenly opened her eyes.

Excitedly, she exclaimed, “I’ve calculated it, my husband, let’s go find her right away.”

She then took Mu Qi’s hand and dashed outside.

Their efforts had not been in vain.

This was the second time.

One more try, and they would be able to bring that person before Jiang Hao.

At that time, Jiang Hao would surely be dumbstruck, begging for her help to facilitate a match.

However, the closer they got to their destination, the more Miao Tinglian found it odd.

“Strange,” she murmured in puzzlement.

“What’s strange?” Mu Qi inquired.

“Why is it in this direction?”

“Why shouldn’t it be this direction?”

“Ah?”

“The challenge for the top disciple is known throughout the sect, and since she is a member of the sect, isn’t it normal for her to be curious and be nearby?”

“So you’re saying she’s here for our junior brother?”

“More than likely.”

Hearing this, Miao Tinglian’s face lit up with excitement, “Then that makes it even easier to discuss, right? If junior brother wins later, can we invite her over?”

Mu Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “It’s hard to tell, ask her at the time. But I feel it won’t be easy; since she said three times, she likely won’t readily agree.”

Miao Tinglian didn’t mind.

They would see when the time came.

Soon, she arrived at the edge of the forest, where there was a higher location.

Mu Qi stopped and said, “I won’t go over there; it wouldn’t be convenient with me around while you two talk.”

Miao Tinglian nodded and then said, “Watch me persuade her.”

Afterward, Miao Tinglian moved forward.

Indeed, she saw a woman in a red and white dress.

She looked like an immortal from heaven, making everything around her seem dull by comparison.

Approaching her made one feel a sense of inferiority.

Taking a deep breath, Miao Tinglian stepped forward and said, “Is the fairy guard also here?”
