“Senior Brother, it seems that the sick people of the Cliff of Broken Hearts have recovered,” said Lian Qin as she approached him.

“Have they found out who’s behind it?” Bai Ye asked.

“They are looking for Junior Sister Yu Xuan for now. She seems to have a close connection with Senior Brother Qian Chen,” Lian Qin said.

“Qian Chen?” Bai Ye shook his head. “That’s unlikely. The situation at the Cliff of Broken Hearts has been going on for several months. If it were Qian Chen, he wouldn’t have dragged it out like this. Based on my investigations, he doesn’t seem like a person who drags things out. And what about Yu Xuan{” “She seems to have gone out of the sect for now. I asked around,” Lian Qin said.

“Why did she go out?”

“I don’t know.”

Bai Ye frowned. “Then she might not come back. I don’t know much about Qian Chen, but I sort of know Jiang Hao. He usually deals with troublesome individuals in one go. If Yu Xuan is behind the trouble at the Spirit Herb Garden, he won’t leave her be. He won’t let her drag it out for months, as it would affect him greatly. Who else has gone out of the sect recently?”

“Let me think.” Lian Qin thought for a moment. “Our branch’s Bai Ji, for one. As for other branches, I’m not sure.”

“What has he been doing lately?” Bai Ye asked.

“He captured a partner of one of the inner sect disciples. He has been torturing him incessantly and breaking their legs whenever he feels like it,” Lian Qin said.

“How long has this been going on?” “About three to five months.”

“Is this a common occurrence?”

“Not very common. There have been other incidents too.”

“Then, he might not come back alive,” said Bai Ye.

“Do you think Senior Brother Qian Chen finally took action?” Lian Qin was surprised.

Bai Ye didn’t answer.

“Do you want to inform the Law Enforcement Hall?” Lian Qin asked.

“No need. This matter involves the Cliff of Broken Hearts, and the outcome is uncertain.” Bai Ye shook his head. “Keep an eye on the Cliff of Broken Hearts. Provide whatever spirit herbs are needed, but don’t make it too obvious. Let people gradually notice it, or it’s fine if they don’t notice at all. We still have plenty of time.”

“Senior Brother… Are you not planning on advancing to the Soul Ascension Realm?” asked Lian Qin.

Bai Ye gazed at the starry sky. “First, I need to survive.”

Jiang Hao was tending to the herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden.

The Wind and Cold illness had completely passed.

The disappearance of Yu Xuan hadn’t made any impact so far.

No one from the Law Enforcement Hall had intervened, and Senior Brother Qian Chen remained silent.

This made Jiang Hao realize something. Venturing out of the sect was dangerous. The Law Enforcement Hall didn’t care what happened to disciples outside the sect at all.

If he were discovered going outside, he didn’t know how much danger he would be in.

However, one thing hadn’t gone away with Yu Xuan’s disappearance. That was the rumor.

Even now, there were still rumors that he was practicing the Blood Wish Path.

Previously, they were concerned that his lifespan wasn’t sufficient, so he had to start absorbing fresh blood on a large scale to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Now, the rumors were that he was trying to ease the people’s minds, so he was deliberately putting everything on hold.

There were a few individuals who claimed to be his victims.

Jiang Hao hadn’t investigated the mastermind behind these rumors, nor did he care about them.

For him, these rumors helped him to some extent.

He didn’t care about the opinions of other people.

As long as he remained inside the sect, it wasn’t a big deal. He couldn’t venture

out anyway.

However, despite the rumors, everything seemed to have settled down.

He didn’t plan to do much. He just focused on tending to the spirit herbs in the garden.

He needed to accumulate bubbles and focus on his cultivation if he wanted to advance to a higher realm.

In another two or three months, he would be ready.

There was something he was concerned about. Someone notified him to collect his resources.

The three-year withholding period had ended. He obtained three hundred spirit stones. Now, he had over five thousand in total.

It was strange that the Heavenly Joy Pavilion didn’t decide to withhold his resources longer than this.

He was worried about what they might be planning against him.

‘Charm Vessel…

Jiang Hao sighed. He needed to find a solution.

There were only two methods to solve the problem.

First, he could wait long enough for the others to let go of their grudge against him.

Second, he could help them find a Charm Vessel so that they could get off his back.

The first option was almost impossible.

Even a hundred years might not be enough for the others to let go of their grudge against him.

If he could go to the mine and take the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower with him, he could hide there for a few years.

Unfortunately, it’s not feasible to go there right now.

“Hello, Senior Sister Miao,” said Jiang Hao. “Everything is okay now. A Senior Sister offered to help.”

“Senior Sister?” she asked. “Which Senior Sister is this? What does she look like? Is she available for marriage?”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

He wondered whether this was all she ever thought about.

He noticed that Miao Tinglian had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. Her progress was quite fast.

“Don’t you want to share with me?” Miao Tinglian said in disappointment. “I heard that you had some issues, and I immediately came over to see if I could help. But it seems that my sincerity is useless.”

“Senior Sister, you might want to discuss that with Senior Brother Mu Qi, ” Jiang Hao said helplessly.

“Mu Qi, come here! I have something to tell you.” Miao Tinglian waved to Mu

At that moment, Mu Qi was talking with other legacy disciples.

Jiang Hao felt uneasy. Miao Tinglian was drawing too much attention to him. He found it a bit hard to bear.

Mu Qi walked over to them. Miao Tinglian hooked her arm around his. “1 heard that there was an incident at the Spirit Herb Garden. Someone suggested that Junior Brother Jiang should go work in the mine… you know, for a change in the environment. Mu Qi finds that place too bitter and tiring, so he put in a word to defend you. Now, you can work here forever. We treat you well, don’t

Jiang Hao was dumbfounded.

He bowed and thanked them. “Thank you, Senior Brother and Senior

Sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law sounds nice, but it’s too obvious. Just call me Senior Sister,” Miao Tinglian said with a smile.

Jiang Hao was speechless. This couple was going to ruin his life.

His shortcut of earning more bubbles was severed, all thanks to the couple.

He had thought that maintaining a good relationship with them would have more advantages, but now, it seemed like the disadvantages weighed heavier than the advantages.

In the evening, as Jiang Hao was about to return, Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian accompanied him.

They were going deep into the woods to look for something. It was on the way.

As they neared Jiang Hao’s lodgings, Miao Tinglian said, “Junior Brother Jiang, you really don’t want to consider my offer? I recently met a sweet and charming Junior Sister. It seems she’s eager to find a partner. She has both talent and cultivation. If you miss this opportunity, it’s gone forever.”

Jiang Hao shook his head lightly. He was unsure how to respond. He had declined her offer many times already.

However, Miao Tinglian was still relentless.

He had never seen her make such an offer to the other disciples. Was it because he had helped reunite her with Mu Qi that she constantly pestered him to find a partner?

Finally, he bid farewell to the two of them and returned to his courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw a woman in a red and white dress who was looking at him with a half-smile.

“Are you ready for marriage already?”
