Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Blackheaven Sect, Bi Zhu woke up in her room.

She sat on the edge of her bed and recalled the time when she found the Xuanyuan Sword earlier. At that time, there was dust on the ground, but none on the sword itself.

‘It doesn’t seem normal. There should have been more dust around it. If it did collect dust for all these years, where did it go?’

Bi Zhu took out the purple bead. This was the contamination.

She wondered if Jing had avoided discussing it to keep her from asking more questions.

Perhaps he had also encountered the Xuanyuan Sword. As for the outcome, Bi Zhu didn’t think too much about it.

She put away the purple bead and decided to pretend like she didn’t know anything about it.

Sometimes, people at the gathering gave away things for free. So, she didn’t want to bring it up, either.

‘It’s so surprising that the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is descending into the mortal world so early. I need to figure out a way to go say hello.’

She wasn’t a narrow-minded person. When there was such a unique existence as the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, it was always good to keep in contact and be on good terms.

However, it was likely to cause conflict with The End of All Things, who undoubtedly wanted to kill the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After some thought, Bi Zhu got up and walked out of her room.

Creak!

The door opened, and she saw Qiao Yi sitting outside.

Bi Zhu greeted her with an impeccable smile. “Auntie Qiao, you’re not asleep?”

“This is the Blackheaven Sect, after all. Your safety is essential,” Qiao Yi said as she stood up.

“You don’t need to worry so much. Ordinary people can’t enter this place,” Bi Zhu said as she walked to the table and sat down.

The night sky was adorned with a high moon, which cast its gentle light on them.

“Aren’t you going to sleep, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked.

“I have something to do tonight,” Bi Zhu said as she rested her chin on her hands. “Auntie Qiao, do you know Yan Shang? She’s the genius from the Sunset Immortal Sect.”

“I’ve heard of her,” Qiao Yi said. “What about her?”

“I’ve actually met her a few times, and it turns out she’s rather extraordinary.” Bi Zhu sighed.

“What do you plan to do, Princess?” Qiao Yi asked.

“Well, I’m planning to visit her tomorrow,” Bi Zhu said. “I received a letter from someone, and I need to deliver it to her.”

Qiao Yi felt puzzled. Hadn’t the princess just been inside the room? She hadn’t gone out at all.

“By the way, there will be a cultivation technique coming in a while, and it’s for you,” Bi Zhu said.

“What technique is it?” Qiao Yi was curious.

“It’s from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe’s Heaven Bestowing Technique,” said Bi Zhu. “I don’t know the details, though.’

With that, Bi Zhu stood up to go to her room to rest.

Few people could learn the Heaven Bestowing Technique, even within the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. Why did the princess want such a technique?

‘Is she playing a joke on me?’ Qiao Yi wondered.

She still couldn’t believe the news from the princess. Could it be that the princess was actually so well-informed?

Jiang Hao left the gathering and didn’t take detailed notes this time. He only recorded the information from this exchange.

He had already delivered the letter to Feng Hua, which was the third reward. He hoped the recipient would be pleasantly surprised. He continued to keep an eye on Chi Tian.

As his status and cultivation improved, Chi Tian would surely become more vigilant. To give Chi Tian some hope was the best way to deal with him.

The more hope he had, the higher he would climb.

Then, Jiang Hao could learn useful information from him.

In Chi Tian’s eyes, Jiang Hao might occupy a significant place, but in Jiang Hao’s eyes, Chi Tian was just a part of the overall picture.

Living in his shadow was a punishment for not taking his duties seriously.

Of course, Jiang Hao didn’t want Chi Tian to go to any extreme, or else…

He stopped thinking about it. He wondered when Shang An would appear.

He knew he would come here soon.

If that happened, Jiang Hao would likely attract more attention from many people.

Maybe it would be better if he went out to see Shang An instead. He wasn’t sure how best to handle the situation.

However, it was surprising that Hong Yuye hadn’t come to find him yet. When he was mining, he had expected her to appear, but she still hadn’t shown up.

“Well, it’s been a while since someone watered the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Its growth has stagnated. It won’t be good if she sees that.”

Jiang Hao went into the courtyard to water the flower. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

“You finally remembered you have a flower to take care of?”

Jiang Hao turned around to see Hong Yuye sitting on a wooden chair under a tree. Her red dress seemed to glow in the moonlight.

“Greetings, Senior,” Jiang Hao said with a respectful bow.

“It seems that you don’t take my words seriously, ” Hong Yuye said as she wiped a peach with a cloth.

Jiang Hao was surprised. “Senior, there has been a misunderstanding, and I can explain,” he said hurriedly.

“Then, explain.” Hong Yuye smiled. “Go ahead. Explain everything in detail.”

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment and then began explaining to her. He felt nervous under her piercing gaze.

Although he felt it was strange, he still said, “The sect’s strength is weak, and I, as a member, was called to help out. So, I had to go out of the sect.”

“And then?” Hong Yuye asked. “Couldn’t you find the time to come back and water my flower?”

“It’s… not like that,” Jiang Hao said. “I was ambushed on the way, and I ended up being taken to a mine. There was a strange aura there, but I was constantly worrying about your flower, Senior. That’s why I tried my best to escape from there and return. It’s just that after I got out, I realized I had lost a lot of time.”

Hong Yuye looked at him. “Was it very difficult to escape?” “Yes, exceptionally difficult.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Hmm. Tell me the details,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao hesitated. He then framed the story and pretended to be Feng Wei. He told her that he had built a good relationship with a senior at the mines. But someone had impersonated the senior. He told her that he stayed with this senior and helped out. After that, the senior had taken him along when he escaped the mine.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao with a cold smile. “You’ve put even that fraudulent beast to shame with your lies.” Jiang Hao lowered his head and fell silent.

“Did you touch the Xuanyuan Sword?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes.”

“Did you pull it out?” she asked.

“I asked True Dragon to help suppress it, then I pulled it out and wiped it clean,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

Hong Yuye looked at the man before her in confusion. “The Xuanyuan Sword has the soul of a True Dragon. Did it communicate with you?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao said.

“What did it say?

“It asked if there was any other dragon around me.”

Hong fell silent. After some time, she said, “Do you enjoy mining that much?” “I was compelled by my circumstances to mine,” Jiang Hao said earnestly. Hong Yuye didn’t seem to hear his answer. “Next time you go mining,

looked at him. Her lips curled into a smile. “I’ll invite you to my place for tea.” Jiang Hao was startled and quickly lowered his head. He didn’t know where Hong Yuye lived, and he, sure as hell, didn’t want to find out..
