THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
Chapter 5
The next day, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden following his usual schedule and returned at night. He didn't get much profit that day, not even an ordinary bubble did.
No one had come to him to ask for spirit herbs. Senior Brother Yun Ruo did not appear. Jiang Hao had indeed heard rumors about the traitor in the sect. According to them, most of them have been found. They were currently cleaning up the sect.
'Fortunately, I have nothing here. Otherwise, the traitors would definitely come here.'
After returning to his house, Jiang Hao sighed in relief. He wasn't a traitor, and he certainly didn't want to be the one to catch them. It is not good to offend any side.
The Heavenly Note Sect was a Demon sect, and everyone in the cultivation world wanted to defeat the Demon sect. Maybe someday it will be destroyed.
He also did not want to offend the other sects by capturing their spies. Because traitors are pawns of the immortal sect. If he was involved, it would be difficult to clear his name. There is no hope for him.
Shaking his head, Jiang Hao took care of the spirit herbs in his courtyard. All he had was ordinary spirit herbs. It would be best if he could apply for a better spirit herb, but he could not afford it.
'My cultivation is still weak, but it is too conspicuous and might cause trouble, ' Jiang Hao thought. 'It seems I have to keep thinking of other ways. Should I say that I was lucky and the bubbles increased my cultivation sharply? Or... Shall I just go out and never come back here again?' Jiang Hao shook his head. None of these solutions is a good solution.
Going is not an option. The outside world is much more dangerous. Saying that he was lucky to meet a rare bubble was also inconclusive. As for betraying the sect, it was not safe and risky.
The Heavenly Note Sect will never tolerate traitors. When he was new to the sect, he had heard about a disciple who had come into contact with the immortal sect.
The people from the Heavenly Note Sect did not reveal their stance at the beginning and paid no attention to it. Ten years later, when his disciple walked out of the sect, the Heavenly Note Sect killed them. It was only then that people learned that the Heavenly Note Sect had been hiding for ten years to kill one traitor.
Jiang Hao was overwhelmed with his thoughts. He was confused and lost. He finally left all his worries behind and took care of the spirit herbs.
The most important thing right now is to get stronger. He did not dare to raise his cultivation too quickly. There would be no suspicion if his life blood and basic strength were to rise rapidly. He could also gain more supernatural abilities.
After taking care of the herbs, Jiang Hao stood up, cleaned his hands and walked to his room to grow crops. However, he heard someone calling him from behind.
“Male sister!” It was the soft voice of a woman.
He turned around to look at Senior Brother Yun Ruo who looked extremely pale. Jiang Hao knew this was not good. They mostly met in the Spirit Herb Garden. But this time he came to his house. And his hunch says he came with bad intentions.
“Halo Senior Brother Yun Ruo. Are you looking for spirit herbs?” jiang Hao asked calmly.
“Can we talk inside?” Yun Ruo smiled sweetly at Jiang Hao.
'No, of course not!' thought Jiang Hao but could not say it out loud. He did not want to make the enemy wary.
“Of course, Sister,” said Jiang Hao. "Please." He signaled her to enter his house.
Inside the house, Senior Brother Yun Ruo's smiling face became solemn. He looked at Jiang Hao.
“Male sister, can I trust you?” He hurriedly corrected himself. “No, you're the only one I can trust. I've been observing you for years and I know that you shouldn't be in the Demon Sect.”
Jiang Hao was surprised. 'What did he say? Does he think I'm a spy? Or... is he trying to trick me?'
He pretended to be confused and lowered his head. “Senior Brother, I grew up in the Heavenly Note Sect. I'm sure I can't be anywhere other than here.”
"I knew. I just feel like you shouldn't be staying in the Demon Sect. Your temperament is not suitable for this place. You must go to the immortal sect. The Eternal Sect of the Sunset, which has a legacy of ten thousand years, is respected by the world.”
“I know you have a good heart. I know you don't deserve to be here. This is the best opportunity I have found. Whether I can switch from darkness to light or not, this is my only chance.”
“S-Senior Brother, could it be you..” Jiang Hao stuttered in surprise.
He was a little surprised now that his speculation had come true. Senior Brother Yun Ruo is truly a traitor. He even wanted to drag her down with him.
“That's right, I am a true disciple of the Eternal Sunset Sect. I came here for a mission. My mission was completed, but I was found. I've no choice but to ask for your help. Please help me hide the items I have obtained and send them to my sect!”
“I promise you will get a chance to join Sunset Immortal Sect,”. “The gift that belongs to me will be yours. I know that I will die here.” Fairy Yun Ruo showed firm conviction and seemed unafraid of her impending death.
This is his sacrifice. He came to beg Jiang Hao to keep the item and send it to his sect.
His determination moved Jiang Hao. He did not seem to be lying but he still did not want to do so.
'What if it's a trap?' thought Jiang Hao.
“I know that Young Sister has concerns. How about I leave that stuff to you in good faith? If I die, you can choose to report me. I've been caught anyway, so I won't drag you with me. After all it will be of no use to me,” Fairy Yun Ruo said.
He took out a jade pendant carved with a mysterious symbol. It doesn't seem unusual. Jiang Hao frowned. 'Will I get in trouble if I refuse?' thought Jiang Hao. 'Is he going to kill me? Would a godly sect disciple be as ruthless as a Demon Sect disciple?'
Jiang Hao was unable to find anything for sure. Moreover, a strange scent continued to smell from around Senior Brother Yun Ruo.
“Male sister?” Fairy Yun Ruo bit her lips and looked at Jiang Hao pitifully.
Jiang Hao, for a moment, felt as if he could be trusted. He was about to pick up the locket when he sensed something was amiss. An idea came to his mind. He activated the divine ability of Daily Valuation.
'Second Senior Brother Yun Ruo.' He secretly activated his ability.
