Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Miao Tinglian took back the marriage certificate. “Oh, it’s my marriage contract! I’ll put it away then.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Senior Sister’s acting skill was really overstated.

But she did get what she wanted. When she escaped from the Heavenly Saint

Sect to the Heavenly Note Sect, it was for Senior Brother Mu Qi. Now, they were really a couple.

Jiang Hao didn’t know if they had simplified the ceremony or planned to hold it later.

“Junior Brother Jiang, please don’t pay attention to her,” Mu Qi said helplessly.

“Senior Brother and Senior Sister, you really are made for each other,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

He couldn’t exactly explain it, but when they stood together, they seemed to blend into each other.

In contrast, when he thought about himself and Hong Yuye, he felt as though there was an invisible barrier between them.

“Junior Brother Jiang, that’s so nice of you to say. Lately, I met another junior sister. She is beautiful. She is an alchemist, and no one notices her. She’s in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but her progress isn’t as fast as yours. Do you want to meet her? You will see that she is beyond your imagination,” said Miao Tinglian.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

In his mind, he saw Hong Yuye. Who could surpass her?

He politely declined.

“What kind of person do you like?” Miao Tinglian asked curiously. “You don’t seem to like those with matching personalities, nor do you like those with enchanting physiques. What do you like?”

“Why can’t I be wholeheartedly devoted to the cultivation path?” Jiang Hao smiled and asked.

“That seems to be it. Otherwise, who would stay put in this garden without going out at all?” said Miao Tinglian. “People who are like that wish for a peaceful life, right? Without a partner, your life will be too boring here.” Jiang Hao didn’t know how to respond.

If he wanted a partner, there was only one choice, and that was impossible to even think about.

He wouldn’t consider anyone else. Unlike other reclusive individuals, he harbored hope, and everything he did was for the sake of reaching a higher realm. His future held promise.

Miao Tinglian talked for a while. When she realized Jiang Hao was still there, she was surprised.

“It seems that you really like beautiful ladies. In the past, you would have excused yourself, but this time, you don’t seem willing.”

Mu Qi was curious why Jiang Hao was here. “Do you have something on your mind, Junior Brother Jiang?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I’ve been thinking about guarding the mountain gate for a change. Senior Brother Mu, do you have any way to help with that?”

He should have left, but time waited for no one.

Mu Qi happened to come over by himself, so he didn’t need to seek him out.

To exchange missions, he needed the help of someone with a high cultivation realm. It was different from the exchange with Han Ming before.

However, he didn’t know if this would involve Mu Qi in any way. He needed to be careful.

“The mountain gate?” Miao Tinglian asked in surprise. “Why do you want to guard the mountain gate?”

“The situation in the Sea Fog Cave has changed,” Jiang Hao said.

Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian exchanged glances.

It made sense. Jiang Hao had been staying in the Spirit Herb Garden because it was safe and stable here.

The mountain gate was the same. It was just a tedious job. Jiang Hao didn’t seem to mind the monotony, so it was normal for him to want to guard the mountain gate.

Mu Qi thought for a moment. “If it were in the past, it might have been difficult, but now it shouldn’t be a problem. I remember there’s a junior sister who’s stationed at the mountain gate, and she’s eager to leave. If you are certain, I’ll talk with her. Once she agrees, vou just need to report to the sect, and then a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall should do it.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Mu,” Jiang Hao said gratefully. Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian had been quite good to him.

It all started with him bringing Senior Sister Miao into the sect. She was grateful to him, which gradually led to them becoming familiar with each other.

Otherwise, why would Senior Sister Miao take out her marriage certificate and let him look?

He just didn’t know when they would have the wedding ceremony. It would definitely involve some expenses.

Mu Qi quickly arranged it, and in the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Hao met Senior Sister Luo Zhi.

It was unexpected for him.

Cheng Chou felt uncomfortable. During Jiang Hao’s absence, he had been under a lot of pressure.

Although the Spirit Herb Garden was busy with Senior Sister Miao taking care of it, she was often absent.

Some routine matters were left unattended, so he had to handle them all by himself. Fortunately, there hadn’t been any issues like before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it. He knew exactly how capable he was.

Luo Zhi felt even more uneasy. When she learned that someone wanted to exchange the mission with her, she was delighted. However, when she learned that it was Jiang Hao, she hesitated. She felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To exchange missions with someone she needed to keep an eye on was a chance that was hard to come by.

Since Jiang Hao’s cultivation realm was lower than hers, she could try to charm him and thus learn the secret left by Yan Hua.

She could also shift all the blame onto Jiang Hao. As long as there was a slim chance of escape, she could smoothly leave the heavenly Note Sect and escape from this perilous situation.

Jiang Hao didn’t know what she was thinking and was worried about how to handle the situation if he wronged her.

They exchanged a few words, and Senior Sister Luo Zhi left.

She agreed to exchange the mission with him but needed a few days to complete some tasks first. She told him that she would find him at night the next day because she was free only then.

Jiang Hao was delighted. He needed to make the Law Enforcement Hall see him as suspicious before the turmoil in the Sea Fog Cave subsided.

“This junior has an enchanting figure. It’s obvious she has learned enchantment techniques, and she’s quite good at it. Junior Brother Jiang, be careful,” Miao Tinglian said.

‘Enchantment?’ Jiang Hao smiled. He had also learned a little about it. He was immune to enchantment. However, he could still observe her and pretend to set his plan into motion.

“A person like this isn’t suitable as a partner. Junior Brother Jiang, don’t let yourself be enchanted,” Miao Tinglian said in warning. “Even if she looks beautiful and graceful, you can’t marry her. You should marry someone only you find beautiful. For example, the junior alchemist I mentioned before. She dresses well, and no one knows about her beauty. You make talismans and she refines pills. It’s a perfect match!”

Jiang Hao was surprised. Senior Sister Miao was really serious about picking a partner for him.

The next day, at night, Jiang Hao arrived at Senior Sister Luo Zhi’s residence. The courtyard was surrounded by tall trees and protected by formations.

Creak!

The door opened.

A woman appeared dressed in thin garments. She pulled out the hairpin that tied her hair up. Her hair cascaded down her back.

‘An… It’S Jumor Brotner Jlang!”

She seemed to have thought of something and pulled her dress up a little. Jiang Hao was speechless. ‘Is this an enchantment?’

He wondered how he should act to make it seem like he had fallen for her spell..
