Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 2014: Chapter 156 Did we meet for the first time because of you guys?

ps: It needs twenty minutes to check for typos.

There were four people at the dinner table.

But only one person was eating.

Having half a bowl of rice, accompanied by simple greens.

During the meal, he picked up a chicken leg.

When the chicken leg was placed in the bowl, Jiang Hao curiously asked, “Is there only a chicken leg?”

“What's wrong, should there be a chicken body if there's a chicken leg?” the woman asked in response.

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

Feeling that the person in front of him spoke unpleasantly.

He naturally continued eating.

At this moment, the woman gently smiled at the Heavenly Note Sect and asked, “Why isn't the young girl eating?”

Under this eerie atmosphere, she subconsciously picked up her chopsticks without speaking.

For a time, she didn't know how to continue the conversation.

On her way here, she felt that the two people in front of her were the ones who had 'sold' Jiang Hao; by logic, she didn't need to be too respectful.

Even when Jiang Hao met them, he might not show a good face either.

But…

It seemed not to be the case.

Moreover, they received them very calmly.

Which made her feel baffled.

By logic, they shouldn't recognize Jiang Hao, but their speech felt as though they knew him.

But…

How could that be?

She was puzzled, but it was not appropriate to ask directly.

She could only eat first, very ordinary rice and likewise the dish.

Not as good as those of her childhood, yet somehow different.

It seemed to carry the taste of home.

Fortunately, it wasn't bad.

“What is your name?” the woman asked, holding her cheeks and looking at the Heavenly Note Sect.

“Heavenly Note Sect.” Heavenly Note Sect spoke softly.

“That's a nice name, what does your family do?” the woman asked again.

“This…” Heavenly Note Sect pondered for a moment and said:

“My father is a businessman, my mother does the accounting.”

“A well-bred young lady.” The woman smiled and added, “Not only pretty but also young.”

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect found it strange.

This was the first time she heard such a remark.

“Are you two married?” the woman asked again.

“Yes.” Heavenly Note Sect nodded.

“How did you meet?” the woman went on to ask.

At this point, Jiang Hao had finished the chicken leg and put down his bowl and chopsticks, saying, “I'd like to ask about that too.”

The man lowered his head, lifted his bowl, and slowly began to eat: “Ask whatever you want, I'll try to answer.”

“Where did the things on my body come from?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It's not complicated, have you understood it?” the man asked while picking up a slice of potato.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“That's how they came.” the man said calmly.

Just as his words fell, suddenly a foot kicked him under the table.

The potato that he was about to put in his mouth fell back into the bowl.

The man picked it up again.

“What enigma are you playing at?” the woman asked.

“He has a certain kind of opportunity on him, arising from casting a wide net,” the man explained.

Only then did he put the potato in his mouth.

After that, he turned to Jiang Hao and said, “But the one casting the net wasn't just him; another party also cast theirs over here.

Additionally, as a parting gift, I have also given you some things.”

Jiang Hao bowed his head, so his demeanor was a result of Cheng Yun's methods, but there were actually other people involved as well?

And the life-and-death situation was a gift from this person right now?

Or does it mean the other party also left other things behind?

“However, external things are always just that, external. They can only determine one's lower limits, not one's upper limits,” the man spoke calmly.

He casually picked up a chicken leg.

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

This he had felt when he was comprehending the Tao.

Comprehending the Tao could not rely on external things.

It had to be one's own understanding.

Heavenly Note Sect didn't know what they were talking about, but she remembered what Mr. Tao had mentioned about opportunity.

Meaning Jiang Hao had it too.

His rapid promotion was also somewhat related.

And the answer from the other side was not just that there were those things, but also other things left by the person in front of her.

Thinking of this, Heavenly Note Sect was startled for a moment; the person in front of her seemed not so simple.

Jiang Hao spoke up once again: “Who is the other party?”

The man slightly smiled: “How did you come into being?”

Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone?

So, that's also part of it.

This reminded him of the ship behind the doorway to the new world.

Thus, Jiang Hao did not ask more about that but began to inquire about the Heavenly Note Sect: “What about us?”

“Do you think it was our doing?” the woman asked, looking at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao did not look at her.

“Mute again? Always being silent, do you know that makes it hard to communicate?” The woman did not indulge him.

Jiang Hao felt that the person in front of him was not easy to talk to. He then finally said, “Just curious.”

Heavenly Note Sect's hand had paused.

Silently listening.

The man took a bite of his meal, and after swallowing, he began to speak: “Sometimes two people are just two lines.

And these lines tend to be parallel, almost with no chance of crossing.

However, lines are not immutable; in the process of being parallel, there's always that slim possibility of intersection.

What we did was merely to greatly expand this possibility.

To let you understand that at that moment, the future could be clearly altered.

As for how to choose, that's none of our business anymore.

What happened before or after that is entirely up to you.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao finally understood why Heavenly Note Sect was able to find him initially.

And Heavenly Note Sect was also dumbfounded on the spot.

When she was poisoned back then, she indeed felt it.

That very distinct feeling that her fate was about to change.

Similarly, when she had just entered the place, she felt the same thing.

She wondered if it was the handiwork of the person in front of her.

She had never heard of anyone with such powers.

“Can you intervene from here?” Jiang Hao asked after a moment of silence.

The man shook his head: “We can't intervene anymore, it's too far away.”

“Then can the wound on the Tao be healed?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Her?” The man looked towards Heavenly Note Sect.
