Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know (on hold)

"Yes, I can't always be a small tail behind my brother," Baili Qingmiao said with a smile. "I want to advance to Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible and kill demons side by side with my elder martial brother, defend the righteous path, ward off the evil, and gain a good reputation in the cultivation word."

"Is that so? That's good, that's good... " He Wenchao, who had a spring dream all night, was in a trance. His mind was blank. When he saw his junior martial sister, he felt a little guilty so when he heard that she was going down the mountain, he felt a bit more relaxed.

Baili Qingmiao did not notice that He Wenchao was absent-minded. After she registered, she lit up her soul lamp. This was what the disciples had to do when they went down the mountain. In case of a misfortune on the way, the soul lamp would go out, and the upper fraction of Shangqing Sect would know her situation immediately.

After bidding farewell to her senior brother, Baili Qingmiao went down the mountain and came to the restaurant where she had met Wen Renhe and the others before.

Wen Renhe had made an agreement with Baili Qingmiao not long ago. Seeing her coming in, he nodded slightly and said, "You go first, we will arrive later."

With Baili Qingmiao's speed it would take at least seven days to reach the ice field of Wanli, but only two hours for Yin Hanjiang and merely a quarter of an hour for Wen Renhe.

"These items still have to be returned to this Elder, I don't deserve them." Baili Qingmiao took out the storage hairpin and put it on the table. "I still have the fire feather cloak in case I get hurt in the ice field of Wanli. With the guidance of Senior my ability has greatly increased, which has greatly benefited me. It's only natural to work for Senior to repay it, so I can't accept anything more."

Wen Renhe raised his eyebrows. "Everything has a cause and effect. I gave it to you for a reason, you are now receiving the retribution. It will not increase your involvement, rest assured."

"Ah?" Baili Qingmiao was slightly surprised. "Do I have a karma relationship with this Senior? But I grew up in Shangqing Sect and have never seen you before?"

"Karma may not be in this life, or in you, or even in your previous life, it is in the blood," Wen Renhe said. "I will not only give you these things, but also help you cultivate, until you become a deity, and help you fulfill all your wishes."

Baili Qingmiao pulled at her belt and said shyly, "Becoming a deity, I don't even dare to think about it, but if I need to have a wish, I want to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, so I can..."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but one could guess what she meant when they heard her. Wen Renhe swallowed a mouthful of tea without the slightest change in his expression and then waved his hand. "Go quickly, we will meet at the entrance of the ice field of Wanli in seven days."

"Alright." Baili Qingmiao left the restaurant, the hairpin still on the table.

After she left, Yan Hanjiang held his sword in the air and a simple magic array appeared to protect the two of them. The outsiders didn't seem to be able to hear them and were still drinking tea, chatting and eating and they could move freely within the array.

Wen Renhe frowned and asked, "What's your wish?"

"This subordinate is the sword of the Lord. If the sword is present, until this sword breaks, Master will not die," Yan Hanjiang said.

He said it instinctively without blinking an eye or even thinking, as if this phrase had been repeated in his mind countless times and become an obsession.

"You're really boring," Shu Yanyan said, coming out of the corner and leaning lazily on Yin Hanjiang's shoulder. "Great power, immense strength, cute and charming men... cough, women, which of those things is not desirable? Isn't that right, my Lord?"
