Chapter 151: Chapter 151 A Demon in Human Skin

Chapter 151 A Demon in Human Skin

”Where has your Senior Martial Sister gone now?”

Chu Xingchen put down the letter in his hand and turned to ask.

Chen Baiqing thought for a moment and said: ”She’s probably in a meeting with Fourth Junior Sister and Fifth Junior Brother?”

”A meeting?” Chu Xingchen teased with a smile, ”A joke-telling conference before the battle?”

”Master, you shouldn’t make fun of Senior Martial Sister like that. Senior Martial Sister is very serious this time. The Alliance Leader has been inviting her to meetings recently.”

Chu Xingchen glanced over and remarked: ”Do you really think the Alliance Leader is inviting your Senior Martial Sister?”

Chen Baiqing naturally understood his master’s meaning.

On the surface, the invitation was for his Senior Martial Sister, but in reality, it was for the Tianyan Sect’s jade tablet in her possession.

After all, under the pressure of the Tianyan Sect’s jade tablet, many matters could be pushed through with ease.

Recently, the way Zhao Chun looked at his Senior Martial Sister was as if he were looking at his own ancestor; he was just short of enshrining his Senior Martial Sister.

But Chen Baiqing himself understood this principle. How could someone as smart as his Senior Martial Sister not know?

Since her return, his Senior Martial Sister’s attitude had changed very obviously. She was definitely serious this time.

Chu Xingchen did not linger on this topic and instructed: ”Go call your Senior Martial Sister back. I have something to instruct her.”

”Alright.”

Chen Baiqing nodded in agreement and turned to find his Senior Martial Sister.

Chu Xingchen’s gaze fell upon the envelope once more.

In the past, his cultivation was low and his network of connections was shallow. For many matters, he could only collect intelligence himself, explore, and then make judgments.

The matter with the evil cultivator he encountered in Yuzhou City was just like that.

At first, he thought it was just a local sect like the Qingfeng Sect, but as he investigated, he discovered that the matter was somewhat beyond his control.

This was the consequence of insufficient intelligence.

Many things may seem simple on the surface, but in reality, one never knows how much trouble they entail.

But now, things were different.

Although Chu Xingchen had not yet built his own intelligence network, Bai Xuanling had one!

Naturally, since he was asking someone for a favor, Chu Xingchen had also mailed two bottles of the Ten-Attribute Great Replenishment Pills, which Bai Xuanling was in urgent need of, as a small gift.

In the letter sent back this time, Bai Xuanling once again affirmed the efficacy of the Ten-Attribute Great Replenishment Pills and expressed that she could take another hundred or so bottles of these pills and was willing to pay in advance.

She was also willing to offer double the price.

Although he knew this ”efficacy” likely referred to the side effects, and also knew that the Tianyan Sect probably had a few more unlucky individuals.

But, his own pills could finally be sold, couldn’t they?

So-called saving money was nothing more than increasing income and reducing expenditure.

Now, he had finally taken the first step in increasing his income.

The next part of the content was about the intelligence regarding this Fallen Ridge of the Xuanwu Nation.

This time, the Fallen Ridge matter truly did not involve Central State.

The intelligence Bai Xuanling provided this time was relatively concise, and she also gave her own recommendation—with no involvement from Central State and the strongest on the opposing side being a Nascent Soul-level demon cultivator, she advised to just take up a blade and kill through.

Truly worthy of Bai Xuanling, who had the trait [Killing Nature Enters the Heart]; her suggestions were very much in her personal style.

However, there were still points to note.

Although this matter did not involve Central State, it seemed other forces from the Southern Continent were involved, very likely intending to take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

Simple, yet somewhat not so simple.

Just as the intelligence ended here, Bai Xuanling also gave a warm reminder—pull out the weeds by the roots.

It was clear that Bai Xuanling felt that with Chu Xingchen’s cultivation, he could easily overpower Fallen Ridge.

He could just go ahead and do it boldly, so she did not continue to investigate the intelligence further.

Bai Xuanling’s letter could be considered a reassurance.

When Chu Xingchen had previously explored Fallen Ridge, he did not dare to go too deep precisely because he did not know the specific situation inside.

After all, Chu Xingchen was never an arrogant person.

However, the ones preparing to fish in troubled waters mentioned in the letter were most likely not demons, but people.

He had to remind his own disciple, lest she be schemed against in the end.

Chu Xingchen sighed softly. Sometimes, it was talented people who were more likely to not see others as human.

They did not have to wait long.

Li Yingling, who had been notified by Chen Baiqing, strode into the room and looked at her master, asking: ”Master, you have something to assign to me?”

Chu Xingchen handed the letter to Li Yingling.

Li Yingling took the envelope, her eyes swept over it, and she immediately frowned.

Then, just like Chu Xingchen, she sighed softly.

Her originally spirited eyes also became listless.

Li Yingling naturally understood the veiled warning in the letter.

Chu Xingchen tapped the table lightly to remind her: ”You’ve read the letter. Now, you must act with caution.”

Li Yingling nodded to show she understood, but soon she asked in a puzzled tone: ”Master... then what exactly does this matter count as? If people are fanning the flames behind this, then what does this battle count as? A man-made disaster?”

Chu Xingchen stood up, reached out, and rubbed Li Yingling’s little head. Calculating the time, it seemed he hadn’t done so in a long while.

He smiled and comforted her: ”Where are the people here? Aren’t they demons wearing human skin?”

Hearing this, Li Yingling was stunned. Her eyes lit up as she looked at her master in surprise, and she quickly revealed a smile and said: ”Thank you, Master. I know what to do.”

Chu Xingchen took a light sip of tea and said: ”It’s good that you understand. But I heard from your junior sister that you seem to have your own ideas for the counterattack in two days?”

Li Yingling nodded in admission: ”I have some ideas, but this is also thanks to Baiqing’s help!”

Seeing Li Yingling’s confident little expression, Chu Xingchen blinked and asked: ”Aren’t you going to give your master a little preview?”

”Master, just you watch. I absolutely won’t lose face for you. I’ll definitely make our sect’s name famous in one fell swoop.”

Chu Xching very considerately clapped his hands.

——————

Under the night sky.

Two figures were making their way toward Fallen Ridge.

Cui Hao’s face was smeared with stinking mud, and he wore a tattered, heavily smelling large gown.

It was obvious that Cui Hao, whose face was scrunched up, could not stand his own smell either.

He looked at Lin Luoyu at his side and complained: ”Fourth Senior Sister, where are there any cultivators...”

Lin Luoyu, who was dressed in the same way, was also finding it a bit unbearable. She also felt like complaining a little about their Senior Martial Sister.

However, Lin Luoyu always felt that whenever Cui Hao started to complain, his luck would turn terribly bad.

So, Lin Luoyu glared and interrupted: ”Say less nonsense. I remember it was you who begged Senior Martial Sister to come and join the fun!”

Cui Hao’s face fell: ”If I had known this was how you join the fun, I definitely wouldn’t have come. I think Senior Martial Sister is jealous of my good relationship with Master.”

Lin Luoyu gave a light, disdainful laugh, intending to puncture Cui Hao’s baseless fantasy. Just as she turned her head to look at Cui Hao, she discovered a familiar figure silently following beside Cui Hao.

She thought for a moment, held back her laughter, and replied: ”I think you’re overthinking it. Senior Martial Sister was the first to follow Master. If you’re talking about feelings, Senior Martial Sister and Master must have the best relationship.”

Cui Hao retorted: ”That way of thinking of yours is superficial!”

”Is that so? Little Junior Brother?”

A familiar voice sounded from the other side. Cui Hao’s entire body froze. He slowly turned his head and saw Senior Martial Sister looking at him with a calm gaze.

Cui Hao forced a smile and said: ”Senior Martial Sister, can you forgive my superficial thoughts?”
