Chapter 344: Will He Take a Fancy to Me?

Taking the message from the Hall of Enforcement, Bai Zhi began to read it.

For a moment, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

She then relayed the message to the woman in the black robe.

The woman looked surprised and said, “Deal with an undercover?”

Bai Zhi nodded slightly and asked, “What kind of undercover is worth using the Fangcun Platform for?”

“I’ll go and find out the details,” said the woman in the black robe before she withdrew.

Bai Zhi sat quietly in the courtyard, her loose hair gently swaying, a faint fragrance spreading with it.

In just a short time, the woman in the black robe returned to the courtyard.

“I’ve found out everything.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi turned to look at her and asked seriously,

“What’s the specific situation?”

“It’s said that someone from the Hall of Enforcement suspects an inner disciple. He requested the use of the Tianyuan Mirror to reflect on the places where the suspect had been, trying to find some clues. But he discovered that he couldn’t reflect anything about the suspect. He concluded that the person either possesses a secret treasure or has a high level of cultivation. After trying to investigate further, he didn’t get much information.”

“The Hall of Enforcement determined that the suspect is an undercover who came from afar. There’s no need to investigate further. However, it’s highly likely that the person has a secret treasure, so they need to restrict her movements, which is why they want to use the Fangcun Platform,” the woman in the black robe explained the whole process.

Bai Zhi let out a cold laugh.

“No wonder they came to report; they’re worried about provoking a powerful figure and can’t bear the consequences.”

From various pieces of information, it seems they are somewhat worried that their opponent might be a powerful figure.

“There are such indications.”

The woman in the black robe nodded and then asked again, “What does Elder Bai suggest?”

“Who discovered this person?” Bai Zhi suddenly asked.

“Liu Xingchen from the Hall of Enforcement,” the woman in the black robe answered.

Bai Zhi nodded without asking further and then said.

“Let them find a suitable time to take action. You go with them.”

“Yes,” the woman in the black robe nodded in agreement.

Bai Zhi watched her leave and lowered her eyelids.

In fact, the search for undercover agents had not been going smoothly lately; she needed an undercover of significant weight.

If this person was an undercover, that would be best; if not, she could still find a way to obtain the secret treasure.

If the person was neither undercover nor in possession of a secret treasure, then they must be inherently powerful.

But being detected meant there was some issue.

Capturing them could also be profitable.

Even if their strength remained, there might be a possibility for negotiation.

However, the likelihood of this was very low; otherwise, the Hall of Enforcement wouldn’t dare to make a move.

......

After dealing with the spiritual medicine, Jiang Hao took the opportunity to find the Senior Brother in charge of fostering and ended the fostering arrangement.

Although the Senior Brother was puzzled, he did not ask for a reason.

Clearly, he had heard some rumors.

Jiang Hao didn’t care about this; right now, he needed to save his life.

He didn’t know when Gu Qing would make a move, nor was he aware of Liu Xingchen’s progress.

The only way was to find a way to avoid danger.

Leaving the Spiritual Medicine Garden, he heard a crisp voice behind him.

“Senior Brother Jiang, wait for me.”

Jiang Hao stopped and turned around, feeling a chill in his heart as he saw Gu Qing running towards him.

Watching her approach, he even felt an urge to retreat; if she attacked him here, she could kill him on the spot.

The gap in strength was too great; he wouldn’t even have a chance to resist.

But he suppressed the fear in his heart and smiled.

“Is there something you need, Junior Sister Gu?”

“Are you going back?” Gu Qing asked with wide eyes.

“Yes, I’m going to the outer sect to take a look, then I’ll return to cultivate,” Jiang Hao nodded and said.

“I’m still busy here, but I have some questions I want to ask Senior Brother. Are you free tonight? I’ll come to find you after I’m done. It’s a bit private, so I can’t ask here,” Gu Qing said, looking down shyly.

“Sure, I’ll wait for you tonight,” Jiang Hao smiled and replied.

Hearing this, Gu Qing jumped for joy, her hands behind her back, her smile blooming like a flower.

“Then wait for me tonight, Senior Brother.”

Jiang Hao nodded and watched as Gu Qing ran back to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

With that, Jiang Hao turned and left.

In an instant, his expression darkened.

Without further thought, he headed to the outer sect.

“Master, why are you here?”

The rabbit spotted him immediately.

It also reminded Xiao Li to stop talking nonsense.

“Senior Brother Jiang,” Xiao Li stood up straight, looking nervous.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao knew that these people had just done something underhanded again.

He gave them a cold glance and then asked the rabbit to stay with Xiao Li for the night.

The rabbit seemed desperate, but the upward curve of its mouth betrayed its true feelings.

If the rabbit had any concerns, it would definitely be about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

After deciding not to let the rabbit return, Jiang Hao found Cheng Chou, casually inquired about the progress, and then told him not to go back to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Afterward, he headed straight for the Lawless Tower.

Tonight, he braced himself to spend the night in the tower.

......

The fifth floor.

Jiang Hao had just arrived when he heard the voice of Heavenly King Hai Luo:

“You wretched whore, you dare to be so bold in front of me? A mere early-stage Nascent Soul, about to fall back to a perfect Golden Core. You don’t even have the qualifications to stay on the fifth floor with us. In a few days, you should go down to the fourth floor.”

Jiang Hao walked in.

The people who were arguing stopped and looked over immediately.

Seeing Jiang Hao looking at him, Hai Luo stood tall and said, “Was I speaking too loudly just now? I admit I was a bit impulsive. It will be quiet from now on, alright?”

Jiang Hao: “...”

Mi Lingyue was even more puzzled.

“Foundation Establishment kid, what exactly did you say to make the unruly Heavenly King Hai Luo so submissive? Tell me, and I’ll trade with you—techniques, spells, and some methods of alchemy, forging, and talisman-making, I can share some insights.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised that the other party could also do alchemy, forging, and talisman-making.

“Do you know about formations?” he asked curiously.

“I only know a little about formations,” Mi Lingyue shook her head.

Just a little?

Jiang Hao thought about it and decided not to embarrass himself.

Afterward, he sat in front of Zhuang Yuzhen and asked about some things concerning the Corpse Realm.

He also mentioned that the Tianyin Sect hadn’t found the undercover agent from a year ago.

Since the person hadn’t shown up personally, there was a chance they would give up.

Hearing this news, Zhuang Yuzhen felt much relieved.

Jiang Hao thought he would become arrogant like Heavenly King Hai Luo.

However, he answered every question.

He gradually understood some doubts about the Corpse Realm, such as the opening pattern.

There was no cycle; it depended on when the seed would react.

When he first came, the seed had already reacted.

Planting it afterward led to the opening of the Corpse Realm.

This time, it was sixteen years since the last opening and sixty-eight years since the one before that.

“By the way, is the Mountain and Sea Sword Sect also a northern sect?” Jiang Hao suddenly remembered he still had Zhuge Zheng’s jade pendant.

......

Evening.

Gu Qing left the Spiritual Medicine Garden and said goodbye to a few people.

Then she headed straight for Jiang Hao’s residence.

There was no sense of unfamiliarity; it seemed she had walked this path many times.

“He should be happy to see me, right? I wonder if he’s attracted to my looks, my body, or my storage treasure?”

She speculated about why Jiang Hao was unaffected by her charm, thinking the third possibility was the most likely.

But what of it?

“He would never expect that he’s going to die tonight. There might be some problems with the spiritual herbs in the Spiritual Medicine Garden; I can’t keep him around any longer.”
