Jiang Hao sighed when he heard that Senior Sister Li Min wanted to stay.

He had wanted to stay here alone and mine while they went off to explore. That way, they could choose a new leader.

However, now that they were split into two or three groups, the team couldn’t go too far. They couldn’t elect a new leader for the group.

“I can try and explore.” Wei Zhixiang nodded.

“Then, the three of us will go down and take a look. You two can mine here,” said Liu Xin.

She never thought someone would stay and dig. It was baffling, but she didn’t care.

After confirming the location, the three of them went down the waterfall to explore.

On the empty platform, only Jiang Hao and Li Min of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion were left.

Jiang Hao looked at her and frowned.

She was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and didn’t seem to like him much. It was very likely that she might suddenly attack.

Such people were the most bothersome.

“How do you plan to start digging, Junior Brother?” Li Min suddenly asked.

Jiang Hao brought out his pickaxe and walked to the stone wall. He sensed it and then tapped it with his palm.

Then, he used the pickaxe to dig.

The rocks here were very solid. If they blasted the place, it’d look suspicious. So, he could only use his pickaxe to dig little by little.

He wasn’t sure if there were ores here, but he wanted to find a place to mine quietly since he was already here.

He was surprised to see that while he mined, Li Min also used a magic treasure to dig.

This wasn’t a big deal, but Jiang Hao could sense her resentment.

He felt helpless. She might be planning something against him.

After a long time, Jiang Hao sat down to rest and deliberately gave her a chance to act.

At that moment, he could clearly sense that Li Min was staring at him and had activated the magic treasure in her hand.

Jiang Hao was still sitting with his eyes closed.

He was just waiting for her to make a move.

However, she did nothing.

He turned around and continued mining.

Jiang Hao looked over curiously and saw Senior Sister Li Min burying herself in the mine.

After a moment, he took a break again.

The next day, he continued to mine. This time, Senior Sister Li Min was the one taking a break.

She lowered her head and seemed lost in thought.

After a while, she suddenly said, “Junior Brother Jiang, do you still remember

Junior Sister Yun Ruo?”

Jiang Hao was taken aback. He put his pickaxe down. “I do.”

Senior Sister Yun Ruo was the cause of all his troubles in the beginning.

Because of Yun Ruo, he was targeted by many people and was even sent to the Law Enforcement Hall.

That was when he was put on the suspect list and was barred from venturing outside the sect.

Many people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion and the Pavilion Master hated him for it.

It got to the point that he could have been murdered at the Heavenly Joy Pavilion if he wasn’t careful. They had tried to do it on his trip to Devil’s Den.

He would have been killed long ago if he wasn’t careful.

More than ten years had passed since the incident, but it seemed the matter was still not over.

The people from the Sunset Immortal Sect had not let him off easily either.

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion was the same. His advancement to higher realms had been disturbed because of that, so he couldn’t let it go.

Although Senior Sister Yun Ruo hadn’t been able to cause him direct harm, she had affected his life in many ways.

“Junior Brother, have you ever regretted killing her?” Li Min asked.

Jiang Hao didn’t answer the question.

Li Min didn’t seem to expect an answer. ” Because of Junior Sister Yun Ruo’s death, many people’s lives have changed… especially our branch.”

“What do you mean, Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

He did not understand what she wanted to do.

“When I was young, my Master brought me up the mountain. He valued me very much, and it seemed he needed me,” Li Min whispered. “Master was very good to me. I had never met such a kind person since I was a child. But when I was sixteen, my body changed. Master no longer looked at me with that kind of expectation. There was only disappointment and disdain.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Joy Pavilion needed a charm body to advance.

However, since her charm body was interrupted by her anomaly, she was useless to him.

“Master no longer pays attention to me, nor does he look at me anymore,” Li

Min said. “But I have hope. I might be just one of Master’s many disciples, but Master is everything to me. You killed Senior Sister Yun Ruo, and the Master was furious. I hate you too. You ruined everything for the Master.”

Li Min stared at Jiang Hao. “I want to kill you.”

“Then, why didn’t you do it when you had the chance?” Jiang Hao asked.

Li Min lowered her head and fell silent for a long while. “I was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and you were in the early stage of the

Foundation Establishment Realm at that time. I’m still where I was, but you…

You are already at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Such speed, such talent… Maybe it’s because of the Blood Wish Path like the others say. Whatever it might be, I can’t compare to you. I Imow that if I make a move, I won’t be your match. I don’t want to die yet.”

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. So, that was why she didn’t make a move.

“Do you know why the Pavilion Master valued you?” he asked.

“I know. It’s because of the charm body. But the Master needs someone who has successfully mastered the charm body for his advancement. I thought I could be the one, but I wasn’t. It was Junior Sister Yun Ruo he wanted.” Li Min laughed bitterly. “I wanted to do something for my Master, but I realized that I can’t do anything. When Junior Sister Yun Ruo died, I… was a little happy. I felt like she had stolen the Master for herself, and she was finally dead.”

Jiang Hao frowned. He couldn’t understand the thoughts of the person in front of him.

However, everyone had their own story. He wasn’t the right person to judge her.

He just didn’t understand why she was opening up to him.

“Master still won’t look at me,” said Li Min and turned to look at Jiang Hao. “He still looks so disappointed every day. It’s all your fault.”

She looked at him with resentment.

Jiang Hao lowered his head helplessly.

“I know you want to kill me to avoid trouble in the future. Isn’t that true?” Li Min suddenly asked.

Jiang Hao had actually thought about it.

However, he now thought of another way. It would be better for both of them.

Boom!

While Jiang Hao was thinking, the river suddenly surged.

Immediately after, someone retreated. It was a woman dressed in blue.

Jiang Hao realized that she was the woman from the first team that was led by an early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator. “Please help me,” she said when she saw them.

A huge tree branch was chasing after her.

“Please save me. I’m willing to pay spirit stones,” she said.

Jiang Hao moved.

The branch was not that strong. The source of the magic might be too far away.

If it was struck with a strong force, it might retreat.

He used the first form of the Heavenly Blade, Moon Slaying.

Boom!

Moonlight flashed.

The tree branch shrank back, just as Jiang Hao had guessed.

“Senior Sister, are you alright?” He stood before the blue-robed woman.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry and help me up!” she said.. “Do you want spirit stones?”
