In the sea fog, the two of them fell silent for a moment.
The man who was preparing for a sneak attack suddenly said, âTong Lu is dead, which means the Heavenly Note Sect is on the move. We need to be careful.â
âI understand. Since they want to come in, let them in. Iâll make sure no one can return.â The man in charge of arrangements nodded.
âDonât act recklessly,â said the man who was preparing for a sneak attack.
âUnless itâs absolutely necessary, I wonât,â said the man in charge of arrangements.
The two fell silent again. The man preparing for a sneak attack knew that if they were at their witâs end, the person beside him would stop at nothing to find that person and avenge Tong Lu.
But being at their witâs end meant their plan had failed.
How could the plan fail?
Unless there was a major unexpected event in the Imperial City, it wouldnât fail. Even in the case of an unexpected event, they wouldnât leave empty-handed.
They had been preparing for so long and had considered many possibilities. As people who had awakened from the depths, patience was something they had in abundance.
In early March, Jiang Hao had been waiting at the outpost for three days.
He sensed people heading deeper into the area one by one and bringing with them the Sea Patrol Spirit Beasts and thieving sea monsters.
Their cultivation realms were all very high. It was even impossible to see through.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
The arrival of such a powerful group of people meant that he was much safer.
However, he couldnât let his guard down. Tong Luâs death would definitely alert the people inside.
The future was still uncertain.
His immediate priority was to clean the walls.
The dirt on these walls was unbelievably thick. It was almost like a new layer of wall.
Luckily, there were bubbles.
Half a month later, Jiang Hao noticed that his act of cleaning the walls had made progress. He got bubbles similar to the previous month.
There were many white bubbles, quite a few green bubbles, and about nine blue bubbles.
It was twice as many as watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
During this half month, there didnât seem to be any changes in the depths.
At least there were no power fluctuations coming from there, or perhaps it was too far to sense.
But the sea fog was surging, and he was keeping an eye on it. If there were any significant changes, he would be able to sense them. He would have to leave then.
Suddenly, he felt something vibrate on his body.
It was the stone tablet.
âAre we going to have a gathering?
Out of curiosity, he put the cloth aside and secretly observed to see how the creatures would steal it.
However, after waiting for a while, he didnât see any of the sea monsters making a move.
After that, he didnât pay much attention to it.
Tonightâs meeting meant he needed to find a place to stay with Zheng Shijiu to avoid being disturbed.
But as soon as he came out, he saw people in the mine talking in low voices.
They were using secret techniques, and their voices were transmitted to his mind.
âLook, the manager is out. Heâs been cleaning the walls for almost two months.
What do you think heâs here for?â
âIsnât it obvious? Heâs here to clean the walls.â
The person asking the question was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
âI donât believe his groupâs claims. What secrets could there be in the walls? Theyâre all just trying to deceive us. Perhaps a female senior has taken a fancy to him and asked him to come here to gain experience so that he can righteously make contributions.â
âDidnât they chase the thieving sea monsters to earn merit before? Most likely, someone arranged it.â
âWhat about the wall cleaning?
âItâs just a smokescreen to make him appear special and to highlight his achievements. Whether itâs the sect or us overseas, itâs the same. You guys are just too young. You see something and believe it. There must be someone orchestrating all this just to make him stand out.â
âSo, youâre saying heâs just a pretty face? I donât think so. I donât think heâs as handsome as me.â
âWhat if some senior female just happens to like this type?â
Jiang Hao didnât linger and didnât pay much attention to their thoughts. He couldnât stop or interfere with them.
As long as it didnât cause him trouble, it was fine.
He was afraid that someone would really believe he was cleaning the walls to reveal some secrets and would keep an eye on him.
That would be the most troublesome.
Once he left, someone might go in to explore.
Once the secret was discovered, he wouldnât be able to clean the walls anymore.
The heavenly Note Sect would definitely send someone to take over.
The mine remained unclaimed because it was small and unremarkable. Those people turned a blind eye to it.
But the secret that the walls could produce bubbles was definitely not simple.
The Heavenly Note Sect was not a good sect. Anything they set their eyes on would be theirs unless the other person was too strong to fight.
So far, there was no one stronger than the Heavenly Note Sect nearby.
âJunior Brother Jiang, arenât you cleaning the walls anymore?â Xin Yuyue was surprised to see Jiang Hao out.
The others were also surprised.
âYeah. Iâm taking a break for two days.â Jiang Hao nodded.
âYour room has already been arranged, and no one will disturb you,â Zheng Shijiu said. âWeâll seal off the walls on that side as well, so it wonât affect your rest. â
Jiang Hao thanked them with a bow.
They really had arranged everything for him.
Doing sect missions with them was great.
They didnât ask too many questions and took advice readily.
After that, left and returned to his room and waited for midnight to arrive.
This time, he needed to consider what questions he would face during the gathering.
There shouldnât be anything major, but he had to inform the people in the Imperial City about the Saint Bandits.
No matter what, the Saint Bandits were too closely related to him, and he couldnât let them grow stronger.
Now was the time to turn his thoughts into action.
If he let Gui take action, it would be a trade, and he would need to offer her something in return.
He couldnât afford that.
So, if they had a mission, then he could inform them of the situation.
This way, he didnât have to pay them. Instead, he would receive a reward.
It depended on whether they had something they needed. If not, he could only tell them about what he had seen.
If no one cards, then heâll have to reconsider.
Jiang Hao began to think about the best choice.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight.
The only solution he came up with was to complete tasks that others couldnât, such as those related to the heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
There was indeed a solution, but the cost was too high.
Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed. âLetâs see for now.â
After entering the public area, Jiang Hao arrived at his designated seat.
âGreetings, Senior Dan Yuan.â
The four of them bowed to Dan Yuan.
After they were seated, Dan Yuan said, âDo you have any questions about your cultivation?â
Gui hesitated but did not speak.
Liu and Xing also didnât say anything.
Jiang Hao remained as silent as ever.
âThen, do you have any information about the Saint Bandits?â Dan Yuan asked.
âI saw signs of cooperation between the Saint Bandits and the royal family in the Imperial City,â Gui said.
âOh?â Dan Yuan was interested. âDo you have the details?â
âI only saw some formations, and thereâs a certain probability that they were inviting talented youths,â Gui said.
She couldnât figure it out either. Although she had been paying attention recently, she hadnât conducted a thorough investigation.
âThe royal family wouldnât cooperate with the Saint Bandits, at least not in stealing talents,â said Jiang Hao suddenly.
âWhy?â Gui asked.
âGood questionâŠâ Jiang Hao really thought Gui always asked the right questions. The more he answered at this stage, the more advantageous it was for him. If Gui didnât ask the relevant questions, he couldnât keep talking..
