Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Master’s Thoughts are Spot On

The mindset of Bai Xiaoyao underwent some changes.

After entering the room, she sat down on the bed with Luo Wusheng.

After some contemplation, Bai Xiaoyao explained the specific situation outside the city, carefully considering her words.

She first detailed the events outside the city to Luo Wusheng.

As expected, her Senior Brother had already grasped the corresponding situation, even though he didn’t appear at the scene.

Even when she mentioned that the bald coachman seemed to have the strength of a Nascent Soul, his handsome face didn’t show any change.

After silently listening to her explanation, her Senior Brother shook his head and sighed.

“It’s indeed the Buddhist sect… Master’s thoughts are spot on.”

’Master?’

Bai Xiaoyao was stunned but quickly understood the meaning in her Senior Brother’s words.

From the beginning, she was puzzled, not understanding why her Senior Brother came to take over the Demon Artifact Pavilion, an industry that already had a notorious reputation within the demon sect.

If her Senior Brother were still the one who only loved cultivation, jade, and acted freely, there might be a possibility.

However, the coincidence was that her Senior Brother dropped the disguise and revealed a different side in front of her shortly before taking on the role of Demon Artifact Pavilion’s Head.

Then why did he choose that day?

There must be some opportunity that prompted her Senior Brother, who had hidden for all these years, to finally reveal himself.

Among the few people who could create such an opportunity, their master was the most likely candidate.

Their master is, of course, The Sect Master of the Demon Sect.

Bai Xiaoyao didn’t know much about their master.

Although they were master and disciple, it’s in-name only.

The relationship between the Demon Sect Master and the Holy Saint-Maiden duo was different from the usual master-disciple bond.

How should it be put?

It felt like the Demon Sect Master suddenly went crazy for a bit, suddenly choosing to have both the Holy Saint and the Holy Maiden as his disciples, then completely forget about them and do some other things.

Bai Xiaoyao and her master have made little contact with each other.

At the beginning, she could receive remote guidance on her cultivation from her master.

However, after questioning her cultivation a few times, her master stopped doing such things.

Later, when the Demon Sect Master closed up his door and focused on his cultivation, she could only see her master again during major Demon Sect events.

In other times, when there were major events or secret realms opening, it was a few Demon Sect envoys responsible for notifying them.

So, despite being the highly significant figure in the Demon Sect and having the highest talent in this generation, Luo Wusheng and Bai Xiaoyao were not bound by any Demon Sect rules.

But… now it seems that her Senior Brother actually has some connection with their master?

Bai Xiaoyao remained silent, waiting for her Senior Brother to explain.

Then, a look of surprise gradually appeared on her small face.

Listening to her Senior Brother recounting seemingly unknown events with a reminiscent expression, as if recalling memories from a long time ago.

“Actually, my visit to the capital this time was all instructed by our master…”

“Although the Demon Sect appears to be one of the three ancient sects of the human race with deep heritage and many experts, our master told me that the Demon Sect will face a great calamity…”

Bai Xiaoyao listened as if hearing a story, hearing her Senior Brother reveal the truth about events that seemed unknown to others.

In Luo Wusheng’s narration, he came to the capital for the position of the head of the Artifact Pavilion, a task secretly entrusted to him by their master…

To find out which sect might be related to the impending disaster of the Demon Sect and investigate who is secretly targeting the Demon Sect in his capacity as the Sect’s future master.

So, in the capital, he showcased his talent in refining artifacts, becoming the focus of attention, attracting the attention of those hiding in the shadows, and mutually testing each other.

He collected information in secret, utilized everything available, tried to make friends with the people in the capital, preventing the hidden hands from staying idle.

Step by step, a game of mutual manipulation.

Bai Xiaoyao looked at Luo Wusheng with slightly trembling eyes.

She always knew that her Senior Brother had other purposes in the capital, but she never thought that these purposes were related to the survival of the Demon Sect!

If someone else had said these things, given the temperament of Bai Xiaoyao, she would certainly not believe a word… but when these words came from Luo Wusheng, Bai Xiaoyao had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

’No wonder someone as talented as Senior Brother had to hide his identity in the past and secretly advance everything…’

Bai Xiaoyao felt that the threads of events she had been pondering over for a long time became somewhat clearer.

And on the other side, seeing that Bai Xiaoyao was seemingly convinced, Luo Wusheng, who had successfully diverted her attention, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he began to appreciate his solid literary skills and years of experience in reading novels.

The fact that he also spent dozens of nights telling a combination of japanese manga into chinese version of bedtime story for Little Yuli also helped a lot.

If it weren’t for these, it would have been somewhat difficult to weave such a logically sound story.

Of course, this story is not without flaws.

But the clever part is that the scapegoat Luo Wusheng found is none other than Bai Xiaoyao’s own cheap master.

The Demon Sect Master, who was generous enough to let his own genius disciple roam freely, shouldn’t show up at a time like this, right?

Since this is the case, the secrets that only himself and the master know, according to Luo Wusheng’s words, can be freely interpreted by him.

This is a plan without evidence.

Luo Wusheng thought to himself that this plan was ingenious, but he showed no signs of it on his face.

Instead, he sighed lightly after finishing his explanation.

“I originally intended to inform you of these matters after everything settled down, to spare you from additional worries, unfortunately, it seems that you are still involved in this vortex.”

He gently took Bai Xiaoyao’s hand, his gaze tender. “Now that you are also in the capital, it’s fine as long as you are by my side. If anything unexpected happens and I’m not with you… Do you remember the precautions I prepared for you?”

Bai Xiaoyao was slightly surprised, and her other hand instinctively touched the Star-Moon Jade ornament in her hair.

Feeling the surging yet extremely friendly spiritual energy within, she seemed to understand something, and a warmth passed through her heart.

She nodded gently.

Although her Senior Brother’s explanation was somewhat brief, with many details glossed over, Bai Xiaoyao felt it was enough.

Those details that were glossed over were probably efforts that her Senior Brother made in secret, things he didn’t want her to know.

Thinking that her Senior Brother had been single-handedly carrying such a heavy task all this time, enduring an unimaginable burden, Bai Xiaoyao’s heart softened slightly.

If she had known all of this earlier, perhaps on that night, she would have chosen a more daring outfit to complement the gift her Senior Brother gave her…

As this thought crossed her mind, a blush appeared on Bai Xiaoyao’s lovely face.

In her distracted state, she instinctively used words to cover up, not letting her Senior Brother see her abnormality.

“…So, Senior Brother, did you think that the courtesan from the Red Blossom Pavilion is a potential ally? Did you really go to the Red Blossom Pavilion to find her?”
