Chapter 551 - 551: Are You Trying to Use Me?
They naturally had to be careful in their responses when they received sudden gifts. If the other person wanted an unachievable favor in return, they would certainly have to decline politely.
Jiang Hao mentioned that he had some issues with his spirit pet and needed to go back to help take care of it. He needed to leave for three days and hoped that his seniors would understand.
The three of them accepted the masks with smiles.
They said it was a small favor and that he need not be so polite.
Jiang Hao felt reassured.
The next day, he bid farewell and left.
He had to go back and advance to the peak of Soul Ascension Realm.
If he delayed, it would be a loss.
The blue bubbles would disappear as soon as they were picked up.
He went to the Spirit Herb Garden. Several months had passed, and the people here had almost forgotten about him.
After a brief look, he noticed a few new faces.
When he was about to leave, he saw Lian Qin.
“Junior Brother Jiang, it’s been a long time since you came here,” she said with a smile.
“I’ve been busy with sect tasks,” Jiang Hao said.
Then, he noticed that they were replacing the spiritual herbs.
“Junior Brother Jiang, did you see? We are nurturing new spirit herbs. Since you just came back, do you have time to see if they are okay? If there’s any problem, we’ll change it immediately,” Lian Qin said with a smile.
Jiang Hao nodded and took a brief look. There were no issues.
As he was about to leave after escorting Senior Sister Lian away, he thought of Bai Ye.
‘I wonder how Senior Brother Bai Ye is doing. I’ll go see him after advancing.’
Bai Ye was too dangerous. His cultivation realm and talent were one thing, but the main concern was that he could fall into his traps without knowing.
Now they only had a gap of one major realm, and there was still a possibility of falling into the opponent’s schemes.
Jiang Hao had to be cautious.
Leaving the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao noticed some seniors flying on
sworus cne SKY.
It was a sight rarely seen.
‘Is there something urgent happening?’
Although curious, he couldn’t stop and ask people.
First priority was advancement.
Jiang Hao saw that something was guiding the spiritual energy around him when he arrived in the courtyard.
It was like the convergence of a galaxy. It caused the spiritual energy to gather and not disperse.
“Is this Bai Ye’s method?”
Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if he could see it due to further progress in having mastered the Heaven Lock Technique. However, he could tell that this method was profound and extremely subtle.
‘Bai Ye is indeed formidable.’
He never underestimated Bai Ye and had learned to acknowledge the strength of his enemies.
Blind self-confidence would lead to fatal disasters.
Jiang Hao was taken aback when he entered his courtyard.
Under the peach tree, a woman in a red and white gown was sitting at the table holding a brush. She was focused on making talismans.
It was Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao didn’t expect her to be here at this time.
Although he wanted to test his mental state, he was about to advance, and he didn’t want to invite trouble.
But even if he was unwilling, he couldn’t drive her away.
He could only quietly approach and watch her create talismans.
Soon, he noticed that he had seen this talisman before. It was the talisman he had used to merge with the stone tablet.
After the talismans were completed, Jiang Hao’s stone tablet was taken away.
Seeing the clean tablet, Hong Yuye seemed surprised.
Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
“Have you learned the Heaven Lock Technique?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked. Jiang Hao remained calm and composed. “Senior, you must be joking.”
“Is that so?” Hong Yuye smiled. “In the Heavenly Note Sect, how many people are at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm at the age of thirty-two?”
He was thirty-three now.
It was a new year, so he was indeed thirty-three.
Jiang Hao didn’t say anything.
Hong Yuye wiped the stone tablet. “You aren’t young anymore.”
“Yes, I’m no longer a young man in his twenties.” Jiang Hao nodded.
At thirty-three, he felt that he was no longer young.
It was only natural to feel that way.
“You don’t look that old,” said Hong Yuye. “What I meant was you didn’t have that youthful recklessness even when you were young. But there was still hope.
Now… that’s unlikely.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head.
He didn’t need the “youthful recklessness” in the first place, but when Hong Yuye mentioned it, he reflected on it.
‘Cautious old man… That’s what I am…
Reckless and arrogant, full of vigor, full of passion, traversing mountains, rivers, and the earth, and renowned throughout the Nine Provinces…
Without recklessness, life was bland.
However, it was not in line with his personality.
Moreover, in the Lawless Tower, he had solidified his mental state and was even less inclined to be reckless.
Hong Yuye handed the stone tablet to Jiang Hao. “What have you found recently?”
“I’ve gained quite a bit.” Jiang Hao calmed his thoughts and immediately took out the Heaven Lock Stone. “I hope you can take care of this, Senior.” “From the Saint Bandits?” Hong Yuye took the stone.
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded and then repeated what he had heard from Senior Sister Yinsha.
This way, he could shift the problem to her.
Hong Yuye sneered. “Do you intend to use me to deal with the Saint Bandits?”
“Senior, you have misunderstood,” Jiang Hao said hurriedly. “I only thought that getting involved with the Saint Bandits would affect my time in taking care of your flower.”
Hong Yuye smiled coldly. She didn’t say anything. “Are you sure you don’t want this?” she asked after a while.
“I don’t,” Jiang Hao said decisively.
“Do you know what this thing can bring you?” Hong Yuye asked again.
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know,” Jiang Hao said.
“Alright then. I’ll help you this time, but I’ll need to take something from you,”
Hong Yuye said.
There was an explosion.
The Heaven Lock Stone shattered.
In an instant, Jiang Hao felt something dissipating in the heavens and the earth. It was difficult to catch, and the feeling was indescribable.
At the same time, in the depths of the Sea Fog Cave, countless tentacles surged. Each tentacle was covered in scriptures.
But suddenly, all the tentacles stopped.
Then, a phantom figure appeared above them.
He seemed somewhat surprised. “Shattered?”
After a moment, the phantom figure laughed heartily. “This is crazy! Hahaha…”
“Does he despise Heaven Lock, or does he want to comprehend it himself?
Regardless, he is audacious. Someday, we’ll meet.”
At that moment, countless tentacles surged in anticipation.
In the Imperial City, Bi Zhu visited the princesses.
“Sister, I have nothing in common with you. You’re already three hundred years old, and I’m just in my thirties!” The princess pushed Bi Zhu out.
“I just came to see you and talk for a little bit,” Bi Zhu said.
“I don’t want to. The other sisters don’t like me. You are even less liked than me. If they see you with me, they will like me even less than before.” “I just wanted to take a short stroll with you,” said Bi Zhu.
This was the last princess. Bi Zhu had visited everyone and endured their insults and their glares. Ji Xueji was even more unforgivable than the others.
She had to find her today..
