Chapter 1325: Were You Waiting For ?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In August, the scorching weather turned into a heavy rainstorm.
With a torrential downpour, Xiao Li hid under the white jujube tree. She looked at the sky and muttered, “Did soone poke a hole in the sky? Why is it raining so heavily?”
Then, she covered her head and ran toward the Spirit Herb Garden.
Little Wang followed behind. It was curious why its Master did not use spiritual energy to shield herself.
“Little Wang, hurry up! You’re going to get wet!” Xiao Li shouted.
The spiritual energy that Little Wang had propped up imdiately dissipated. It barked twice and followed.
The two of them got drenched in the rain.
In the Spirit Herb Garden, Xiao Li shook the water off her body, and Xiao Wang did the sa.
Within a few breaths, there was no trace of water on them.
Unseen spiritual energy was at work.
“Senior Brother Cheng Chou, Senior Brother Jiang didn’t co here today?” Xiao Li asked.
“No, he’s been in seclusion for a month.” Cheng Chou thought for a mont and said, “You could ask the spirit beast. It might know more.”
“The Rabbit said that Senior Brother went into seclusion not long ago, then went into seclusion again, and hasn’t co out since,” Xiao Li said.
“It’s raining today. Do we have to work in the Spirit Herb Garden?” she asked.
“No need.” Cheng Chou shook his head. “Master said today’s rain is good for the spirit herbs in the garden. It won’t do any harm.”
Xiao Li nodded and ran to find Bing Qing.
Cheng Chou looked at the people in the Spirit Herb Garden and frowned.
A long ti ago, Senior Brother Jiang had asked him to pay attention to the people in the Spirit Herb Garden.
He was to observe without being noticed.
Although Senior Brother had not explicitly said so, Cheng Chou sowhat understood.
There were spies here.
But they were not very dangerous. His Senior Brother was testing him.
When he first received the news, he was extrely excited. The more Senior Brother trained him, the happier he was.
But he quickly suppressed that excitent.
As Senior Brother said, if he couldn’t control his basic emotions, he would not observe anything useful and would only achieve the opposite.
To avoid alerting the enemy, he did not start observing the people there right away.
He only began after he was completely calm, but so far, he had not found anything strange.
This was quite frustrating.
He did not dare to look anxious.
He sighed in his heart. Perhaps he should ask for Lord Beast’s help, or he could ask Mu Yin and Xiao Li.
They were geniuses. He was not as good as them. Maybe he could learn sothing from them.
This could help him identify the traitor.
While thinking, Cheng Chou suddenly felt sothing step on his head.
It was a familiar feeling.
“Lord Beast!” Cheng Chou was delighted.
“My Master is here. Aren’t you going to greet him?” the spirit beast asked.
Only then did Cheng Chou realize that Senior Brother Jiang had also arrived in the garden.
“Senior Brother, are you out of seclusion?” he asked.
Jiang Hao, who was following behind the spirit beast, nodded.
Though his aura was calm, it still revealed so power.
His mind was not as peaceful as before because of the recent breakthrough.
The vast power made his state of mind fluctuate a bit.
This breakthrough had gone more smoothly than he had anticipated.
But unfortunately, after this breakthrough, he only had a few points left.
The next advancent would take at least three years.
Ti was short.
So, he gave up.
He used the remaining points to refine his cultivation and spent a month in seclusion to familiarize himself with all his techniques.
Only then did he feel ready.
Today, he ca to say goodbye to Cheng Chou. He would be away for so ti.
The Spirit Herb Garden would be under his care once again.
In addition, there were so things that needed to be done.
The people of the Great Thousand God Sect had not done anything to Bing Qing yet.
He worried they were waiting for a good opportunity, like when he was not around.
As for the recently recruited spies, they had not officially entered the various branches yet.
There was no need to worry.
His dear brother was not making any move, and the other spies were lying low too.
Compared to the other ordinary disciples, they looked more normal. After all, no spy wanted to be found or noticed.
“What about Bing Qing?” Cheng Chou asked.
“If she wants to go out, let her,” Jiang Hao said.
Although Cheng Chou did not understand why, he still nodded in agreent.
He also shared his recent thoughts with Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao smiled without comnting.
‘That ans he agrees.’ Cheng Chou thought.
After instructing Cheng Chou, Jiang Hao glanced at the Spirit Herb Garden.
To completely eliminate the Great Thousand God Sect’s people, he needed to use the Blade of Destiny.
It had been difficult to use the technique back then, but it should be easier this ti.
With the Desolate Sea Pearl, it was still doable.
However, he heard that Mu Longyu had been in Lawless Tower for a long ti.
They even sent a ssage saying that if he needed the Twelve Heavenly Kings, they would give their all.
Perhaps they were referring to the issue with the Five Demons.
But Jiang Hao did not care and did not respond.
He did not need outsiders involved in his affairs.
After picking up a task at the Task Hall, Jiang Hao returned to his courtyard to wait quietly.
He waited for Hong Yuye to visit.
She had not visited for a long ti.
Since he had just advanced, she might sense it and co.
While waiting, he took out a book and started reading.
It was a book he had written himself.
It recorded the details of all the spies he had encountered over the past year.
There were a total of thirty-six of them. The first one on the list was the Holy Master that he often addressed as his brother.
He had identified their origins and purposes.
Many were there to gather information, including the Holy Master.
He was also very curious about the Heavenly Note Sect.
This place was too ancient.
So of the scouts were just scouts. They were here to gather more information before informing the experts at their own sects.
They were waiting for the right ti.
Both the immortal and the demonic sects were involved.
He recorded everything and planned to act during the Great Era. He waited patiently.
There were a few people he paid special attention to: the Holy Master, a disciple of the Great Thousand God Sect whom he sent to the Cliff of Broken Hearts, and a young girl sent by Senior Sister Ye to the Cliff of Broken Hearts, who claid to admire Jiang Hao.
This person wanted to cooperate with him.
A cooperation to find a way out for herself.
He was not in a hurry to deal with her.
After dealing with overseas matters, he would engage these people and cooperate with them.
Additionally, he noticed the sect was also secretly investigating these people, likely planning to turn the tables.
None of them were easy to deal with.
Closing the book, Jiang Hao slled a familiar scent.
He looked up sharply.
A red-and-white figure appeared in front of him. Her eyes were calm, and her long hair swayed in the wind.
Her skirt swirled around her like an immortal from a painting.
“Were you waiting for ?” she asked softly.
Jiang Hao instinctively nodded and then shot up to his feet. He bowed. “Greetings, Senior.”
“You’ve advanced?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Thanks to you, Senior, I’m about to reach the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm,” said Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye looked at him and was silent for a long ti. No one knew what she was thinking.
“Are you heading overseas?” she asked.
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I’m going to handle sothing for you, Senior.”
“Are you confident you can do it?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao smiled. “A little, but not much. I’ll have to rely on you, Senior.”
“If I intervene, there will be a price,” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao nodded. “I will do whatever it takes for you, Senior.”
“Let’s go then,” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao extended his hand. She placed her hand in his.
Then, the two of them disappeared.
In the next mont, Xiao Li covered her head and ran in to avoid the rain.
She looked puzzled as she reached the courtyard.
“I just slled Senior Brother and Senior Sister. Did they go out together again?”
She did not think too much about it. She looked at the ripe peaches and looked around to make sure no one was there before picking them.
“Xiao Wang, go outside and keep watch. Bark if Senior Brother returns.”
“Woof!”
Xiao Wang assured her it was up to the task.
