“Sir, you’ve got a good eye. This robe’s cloth is exquisite. It’s made from high-quality Cloud Silks. Don’t mind that there isn’t a single flower or pattern on the robe, as every stitch, every thread was personally sewn by the Embroidery Mother herself…” The store owner bragged as he took the robe down. Bai Yang took it and tried it on. It just so happened to fit, so he bought it.

By the time Bai Yang walked out wearing the new clothes, his demeanor had changed from an arrogant, wild demon to an elegant immortal cultivator.

Clothes are to people as saddles are to horses. Sure enough, as long as you wear the right clothes, even a whole person’s aura can change.

“I think it’s because Sir’s temperament was this pure to begin with. Before, Xie Ze Tian’s outfit was too flamboyant, and you had to imitate his inscrutable behavior. Now that you’re in the Human Realm and no longer trying to imitate Xie Ze Tian, these clothes brought out your naturally pure temperament.” Xiao Ling said.

“… Thank you for the compliment.” Bai Yang decided to pretend Xiao Ling was praising him.

In order to hide his identity, Bai Yang used a face changing technique to look almost like a different person. He was still handsome, but without Xie Ze Tian’s wild beauty.

Done disguising himself, Bai Yang entered a restaurant and sat down. Many cultivators came and went through the foot of the Soaring Clouds Sect’s mountain. Even if you just randomly asked someone, you’d be able to find out what was happening.

Bai Yang ordered a pot of wine and sipped it slowly. At the same time, his ears remained attentive to his surroundings, listening in on the other tables’ conversations.

Just like that, he stayed there listening for a while. He suddenly heard someone say, “Damn, that Zhou Ying’s has the best luck. Two hundred people enter the Hidden Flower Mirage, yet he’s the only one that survives and he even obtains the Dragon Blade. This type of luck is rarely seen.”

“Hmph, they say those two hundred people died because of Demons, but who knows the truth? Maybe it’s because the Dragon Blade was discovered, so everyone turned on each other, and it just so happened to be picked up by Zhou Ying. Or, perhaps Zhou Ying used some underhanded method like waiting until everyone was injured before he jumped out to kill them all. Maybe that’s how he got the Dragon Blade.”

“You can’t just randomly say stuff. Zhou Ying’s only a small Foundation Stage disciple. How is it possible for him to kill so many people?”

“Right. Besides, the Soaring Clouds Sect’s elders have already said it was due to Demons invading that caused everyone in the Hidden Flower Mirage to die. Last time, wasn’t it also a demon that broke into the Soaring Clouds Sect?”

“That’s only one side of the story.”

“Chen Sheng, you don’t need to be jealous. So what if Zhou Ying got the Dragon Blade? An innocent, ordinary man will get in trouble for abundant wealth like that. Right now, Zhou Ying is being protected by the Soaring Clouds Sect so he’s fine, but if he were to leave the mountain one day, it’s unimaginable what would happen then.”

After that man finished speaking, he chuckled. The others also began to chuckle in understanding.

“Indeed, Zhou Ying is afraid to leave the mountain, and has been cowering in the Soaring Clouds Sect. And it’s all because he’s afraid someone will try to steal his Dragon Blade.”
