A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1284: Chapter 1270: Opportunity

The escape routes of these three people were evidently rehearsed long ago, otherwise they couldn’t possibly coordinate so well.

Three people.

Escaping in three different directions.

Without a backward glance, each was using the highest speed, completely ignoring the survival of their comrades behind.

Bai Changqiu did not continue the pursuit.

If these three intended to escape, and since that hidden senior did not act to detain them, he naturally had his own plans.

If that senior wanted to kill these three,

They would never be able to run away.

"Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace!"

Bai Changqiu bowed towards the open area.

After the death of the first Demon Blade Sect member, the Moon Rock Beast directly sneaked into the dense forest, leaving no chance for anyone else.

At this moment,

Baiyu took a deep breath.

His figure quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

He still didn’t want to expose himself in front of Bai Changqiu, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain.

Bai Changqiu looked at the corpses scattered on the ground.

And that empty, unresponsive forest, wrinkling his brow.

This senior expert appeared at a somewhat strange time; it was one thing to appear coincidentally at the Bai Mansion, but this is Wuzi Forest, the Du Family’s territory, how could he appear so coincidentally?

It was too much of a coincidence.

"Could it be the other party is from the Bai Mansion? Or lives within the Bai Mansion?"

This thought flashed through Bai Changqiu’s mind.

This is not impossible.

However, this was merely a guess.

Seeing all these corpses, Bai Changqiu knew she had a busy time ahead, first explaining this situation to the Du Family.

Fortunately, those Demon Blade Sect members did not have time to kill her nor could they take their companions’ bodies away, and the injuries on these bodies had not been dealt with.

Otherwise.

She really wouldn’t know how to explain this to the Du Family.

Besides explaining to the Du Family, she also needed to communicate with the Star Shining Sect’s branch in Jiangdi City to handle the issue over here.

This mission can basically be declared a total failure.

...

For the whole day, Bai Changqiu was busy with this matter; although the Du Family was very angry, they could only silently accept the undeniable facts.

Their hatred could only be directed at the Demon Blade Sect.

The matter of Demon Blade Sect appearing in Jiangdi City had already been taken extremely seriously by the Star Shining Sect; although Bai Changqiu did not complete her mission, and the three inner sect disciples who followed her had died.

Her punishment was not severe.

Of course.

This is because she is a true disciple with extremely high talent.

Ordinary people would likely be sent to Wall-Facing Cliff to reflect for several years.

By the evening.

She returned to the Bai Mansion; the smell of blood made everyone in the Bai Mansion terrified.

"By the way, Miss, Young Master Baiyu went out today." At this time, a courageous servant came over and said softly.

Bai Changqiu had previously instructed.

If Baiyu were to go out during this period, they must tell her.

"Went outside?"

Bai Changqiu furrowed her brows: "When?"

"Around midday, Young Master Baiyu went out once and didn’t return until evening."

The servant said.

Bai Changqiu furrowed her brows; a bold thought suddenly flashed through her mind, but it indeed flashed and quickly was dismissed by her.

"Carry on with your tasks, no need to attend to me." Bai Changqiu waved, dismissing the group.

Returning alone to her room.

Nighttime.

Bai Changqiu sat on the bed, quietly cultivating, when suddenly her door was knocked on.

Bai Changqiu sensed briefly, then furrowed her brows and called out in a deep voice, "Come in."

Baiyu walked into the room.

Bai Changqiu did not open her eyes, asked in a low voice, "Did you come to find me for something?"

Baiyu said, "Regarding the previous affair, I plan to practice martial arts. But after consulting several martial arts experts in Jiangdi City, I found none to my liking.

Thinking that since you cultivate immortality.

Could you let me come along and cultivate too?"

When Bai Changqiu caught those two foppish young men to vent his frustrations earlier, Baiyu understood that his sister was cold outside but warm inside; though she wore an expression of disgust, deep down she still cared for her brother.

"Hmph, these aren’t words you would have said before; did a fall knock some sense into your brain?"

Bai Changqiu squinted her eyes wanting to discern something from Baiyu’s demeanor.

But found nothing.

If she hadn’t already confirmed through the Secret Technique that her brother hadn’t been possessed or spiritually controlled, she might have been suspicious now.

Yet precisely because of this,

Baiyu’s actions seemed increasingly odd.

Could it be that her brother truly had an epiphany after this brush with death? Such occurrences are not unheard of in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Some people suddenly find enlightenment.

On the path of cultivation, they advance rapidly.

Such people typically achieve great things.

Bai Changqiu furrowed her brow, looking at Baiyu’s serious expression, which did not seem like a joke; she said coldly, "Fine, I will trust you this once. But you must understand, life in the Star Shining Sect is not like at home; living there you might not endure.

Then at that time.

If you want to leave, it won’t be simple.

Moreover.

Even if you could leave, once you’ve seen the Immortal Realm, you might not accept being an ordinary person anymore.

This would then.

May easily breed a Heart Demon, to devour your reason."

Upon hearing there was hope, Baiyu naturally couldn’t let go of this chance.

Because.

Through Bai Changqiu’s connection to enter the Immortal Cultivation Realm was much easier than trying to pursue entry through the Qingyang Dynasty.

According to Baiyu’s understanding.

To contact someone involved in the Qingyang Dynasty’s immortal cultivation, you must at least be a fifth-rank official.

This level of difficulty.

Is exceedingly high.

"I’ve already made up my mind." Baiyu didn’t elaborate.

Seeing how resolute Baiyu was, Bai Changqiu nodded, "After three days, I will return to the Star Shining Sect, you will have three days to consider, if you regret, you may find me anytime."

She had never seen Baiyu with such a serious expression before.

Previously when this brother saw her,

Often, he dared not even lift his head, fearing her as he would a ferocious beast.

One reason being the difference in aura between a cultivator and a mundane person,

On the other hand,

From long-standing, she treated Baiyu severely, showing no leniency.

"This fall has really knocked some sense into him, even his temperament has greatly changed; such a peculiar affair."

Bai Changqiu furrowed her brows.

Watching Baiyu’s departing figure, she decided once they returned to the Star Shining Sect to conduct a thorough check on her brother to see if there was truly a problem with him.

Three days swiftly passed.

The news of Baiyu going with Bai Changqiu to the Star Shining Sect shocked everyone in the Bai Mansion.

Thus.

Bai Guangtao was somewhat at a loss.

"Rest assured, if he fails to adapt to life in the Star Shining Sect, I will send him back." Bai Changqiu told Bai Guangtao.

"That’s good, that’s reassuring."

Bai Guangtao let out a long breath of relief.
