Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1713: Chapter 1409 Fanning for the Demoness_2 Chapter 1713: Chapter 1409 Fanning for the Demoness_2 Especially crossing such distances between prefectures.

No longer hesitating, Jiang Hao reached out and said,

“Let's go, senior.”

Under the moonlight, Qing Xue looked at Jiang Hao reaching out his hand and nodded, “Alright.”

Then, she gently placed her hand in Jiang Hao's.

Holding Qing Xue's hand again, Jiang Hao felt a strange sensation.

Previously, he had only held it to complete tasks.

But now, it seemed different.

His mentality had changed.

The Gu poison was also becoming ineffective in his body, causing him some confusion about the situation.

To date, he hadn't observed the Gu Poison in his body, nor had he thought about expelling it.

If he was willing, if he examined it carefully,

Perhaps it was possible to expel it.

After all…

His strength was still commendable.

Among the strong ones he encountered, he could hold his own.

Not to mention a mere Gu poison.

Yet, deep inside, he had never considered doing anything about it.

Why, he couldn't understand.

Or perhaps he did understand, he just didn't want to think too much about it.

——–

On the other side.

Han Ming from Mountain Sea Sword Sect, who had been unconscious for half a month, finally slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar room, he was somewhat cautious.

He soon realized there was nothing wrong around him.

Feeling his body, he noted some injuries, but nothing serious.

Slowly sitting up, he planned to go out and have a look.

But just as he got up, he suddenly noticed three people in the corner of the room looking at him.

By the moonlight, Han Ming saw Ye Feng and his two companions.

“Friend Han, you're up?” Ye Qingxue immediately asked.

Han Ming expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, all three friends.”

“It wasn't us who saved you, this is Mountain Sea Sword Sect, and you also won,” Ye Mumu said excitedly.

“Won?” Han Ming sighed and said, “It was purely luck.”

“I'm sorry,” Ye Feng said earnestly,

“At first, we really thought you would lose, but such a favored and blessed son is certainly valued by his sect; Heavenly Note Sect can be proud of having a prodigy like you.”

Hearing this, Han Ming was reminded of his senior who always suppressed him by one realm and his junior sister who always demanded something from him whenever they met.

He shook his head and said, “I'm quite ordinary in my sect.”

“Ordinary?” Ye Qingxue laughed, “Friend Han, you're really modest. By the way, a lot has happened after you went unconscious.”

They then informed him of everything that happened that day.

Han Ming frowned, “Someone saved me? Said it was from Heavenly Note Sect? That shouldn't be right, our sect doesn't have such strong people, and Western Astronomical Academy sent me to the academy for a reason?”

“Yes, this is the token.” Saying so, Ye Qingxue handed over a scroll to him.

Han Ming took the scroll, somewhat surprised.

“What do you plan to do, Friend Han?” Ye Feng asked curiously.

“I originally wanted to return to Heavenly Note Sect, but since the Inquiry in the North is over, I want to go back and challenge my senior brother,” Han Ming said seriously.

“Your senior brother? You're not his match?” Ye Feng asked curiously.

“Um, I've never been his match,” Han Ming did not hide.

“Is he much older than you?” Ye Qingxue asked.

“He is one year older,” Han Ming answered.

Everyone: “…”

One year?

Isn't that a favored and blessed son?

Does Heavenly Note Sect really have that many favored and blessed sons?

I've never heard of it.

And surely, none of the major sects in the southern region match Heavenly Note Sect.

“Friend Han Ming, the way you speak about your sect, we're quite curious about it. When do you plan to return?” Ye Feng asked.

Han Ming thought for a moment and said, “I'll go and experience the academy first, then return.”

He needed to become strong enough, advancing quickly.

At the very least, he could reach the same realm as his senior brother.

As long as they were at the same realm, he could achieve victory.

One move, to show his senior brother the difference.

Of course, he would still offer face, as his senior brother also cared about his reputation.

He could let his senior brother win a few rounds, and then win the challenge gracefully.

Saying it was luck, and saying that otherwise, it would be difficult to win.

Enough face would be given to his senior brother.

“If you return to Heavenly Note Sect and find that your senior brother has not ascended yet, will you still challenge him?” Ye Qingxue asked.

“Of course,” Han Ming said seriously.

After all, his senior brother was always a realm higher than him.

He, being a realm higher and then losing narrowly, would give enough face to his senior brother.

“Mountain Sea Sword Sect will probably keep you for a while, then you can go to Western Astronomical Academy to learn, return to the southern region almost invincible,” Ye Mumu smiled, “Can we go together? Witness the rise of a supreme powerhouse.”

Han Ming was silent for a moment, finally nodding.

Witnesses were needed.

——–

West.

Tea Master looked at the tea leaves.

He had been busy for a long time and finally lay on the lounge chair, gently fanning himself with a fan.

A lot had happened outside.

Some sects had even disappeared.

With his cultivation, he could only flee everywhere.

But…

He had grasped the light of life and found a patron.

Eventually, his place became impregnable, and no one dared to provoke him.

And since the other party might not appear for centuries, what he naturally had to do was grow tea.

Over the years, he had finally learned how to use the Ancient Stone in his hand, but he had no intention of using it.

Since he was serving that person, he should devote himself wholeheartedly.

Only in this way could he survive in this great era.

Moreover, such an item was not something a weakling like him could control.

He would wait until the powerful one needed it and then give it to them.

He would then be reused.

It would be even safer in the future.

Looking at the current situation, serving that person was a very good thing.

There was no danger at all.

Even if he did not do well, the other party was very polite.

Unless he did not work at all, in which case it was his own fault he died.

Under such protection from a powerful figure, not working properly meant he deserved to die.

So he worked diligently and tirelessly and continually sought to improve.

Thinking this, Tea Master closed his eyes contentedly, fanning the fan in his hand and resting for a moment.

But just as he had closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, “Is Tea Master resting?”

Tea Master, who subconsciously wanted to respond, suddenly opened his eyes and then jumped up.

He then looked beside him and indeed saw two figures, one of which was the familiar one.

“I have seen my senior,” Tea Master said respectfully, bowing.

“Did I disturb you?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“Where's that from, senior? Serving you at all times is no disturbance,” Tea Master said earnestly.

Then he invited Jiang Hao to sit down.

Jiang Hao dared not and looked at the person beside him, “Senior, would you like to sit? It's quite comfortable?”

Looking at the chair, Heavenly Note Sect observed, “Do you have a new one?”

“Yes,” Tea Master said as he took out two new ones:

“Specially prepared for the two seniors.”

Afterwards, Heavenly Note Sect sat down, their dignified posture making Jiang Hao somewhat unable to look away.

Apart from her neck and wrists, the white and red dress almost covered every inch of her skin.

There was no improper behavior.

Yet, even so, Jiang Hao felt an indescribable beauty.

“What are you thinking?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“The senior suits this chair very well,” Jiang Hao said.

It made her seem more relaxed, yet a shade less formal.

More approachable.

Jiang Hao did not lie down but sat on the side:

“Senior, do you need a fan?”

He held Laugh Three Times' fan in his hand.

As if just returning to her senses, Heavenly Note Sect calmly said, “As you wish.”

Thus, Jiang Hao fanned her while looking at Tea Master, “Tea Master, please have a seat too.”

“I am not comfortable lying down, I will stand,” Tea Master immediately said.

Jiang Hao didn't insist, but instead asked, “How is the Dew of the First Sun coming along?”

Tea Master immediately said, “There's progress, it's started sprouting leaves, but it still needs time to mature. Even though there are books, it varies by place.

“But I've managed to buy two 'qian' of Dew of the First Sun for senior.”

Saying so, he took out two qian of tea leaves.

Jiang Hao took them and gave the other party four million spirit stones.

Tea Master didn't say anything.

Extra could be kept for next time.

At that moment, Jiang Hao looked around and saw that stone on the ground, and with a gesture, the stone landed in his hand:

“Tea Master, are you selling this stone?”

“Selling,” Tea Master said without hesitation:

“Not just selling, but also including how to use it.”

“Oh?” Jiang Hao smiled:

“Tea Master, have you figured out how to use it?”

“Yes, all thanks to senior's cultivation,” Tea Master immediately said.

Jiang Hao nodded, “What price would you like to sell it for?”

“Just, one hundred thousand spirit stones,” Tea Master said.

Jiang Hao laughed and said:

“You haven't ascended yet.”

“You flatter me, senior,” Tea Master said, bowing his head.

“I'll grant you an opportunity to ascend, an opportunity for enlightenment, and give you one hundred thousand spirit stones to buy this stone. How about that?” Jiang Hao asked.

Upon hearing this, Tea Master immediately knelt down, “Thank you, senior, for your great kindness.”
