Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Who Compensates Whom?

After Tianyin Sect saw off Xu Bai and the others, there were no pressing matters.

Tiansheng Sect and the people from overseas, although still troublesome, wouldn’t retaliate in the short term.

Especially Tiansheng Sect.

Their main base was extremely far from Tianyin Sect, and a large-scale attack would take so much time that Tianyin Sect could recover quite a bit.

And the overseas forces had lost many formidable individuals.

Although they suspected Tianyin Sect, it was just suspicion, and they dared not act rashly.

After all, no one was sure if it was a trap.

If they fell into another sect’s trap, being unfamiliar with the territory, they might never return.

So, the people from overseas wouldn’t act recklessly either.

They had their own objectives.

Jiang Hao felt that as long as these people weren’t foolish, they wouldn’t act rashly.

They weren’t like the stubborn people of Tiansheng Sect, who still believed that the secret of Yan Hua was with him and insisted on capturing him.

“The secret of the mine?”

Sitting in the courtyard reading a book, Jiang Hao suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could Hua Le have been undercover in the mine?

“It doesn’t seem likely. Xuanyuan Tai was imprisoned near Lawless Tower, and the people in the mine couldn’t have contacted him. How could they inform him about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao was sure that initially, Xuanyuan Tai didn’t know he was cultivating the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“However, since Xuanyuan Tai was captured in the mine, it’s likely that Man Long handed him over to someone else for supervision. The people from the mine are suspects, as are those from Hengliu Waterfall, and the jailers.”

These three places were the most likely, but he couldn’t put all his hopes on them. It should be difficult for Hua Le to be discovered.

“Master, master, the sun is out; it’s time to go to the Spiritual Medicine Garden,” the rabbit suddenly hopped over to remind him.

Glancing at the rabbit, Jiang Hao got up, planning to go to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

He would continue practicing talisman-making when he returned.

He was digesting what he had learned from Mi Lingyue.

Clear Heart and Pure Mind was still recovering, but he could continue to use it, so the digestion was very fast.

In a few days, he could continue learning.

He had to be quick.

Mi Lingyue wouldn’t stay for long. Mingyue Sect had already taken Gu Qing away.

The people from overseas should also be arriving.

Although Mi Lingyue was remarkable, if she couldn’t be used by Tianyin Sect, she would have to be ransomed at a high price.

Everyone knew that Mi Lingyue would definitely be ransomed.

Such a person, no one would give up.

Even Tianyin Sect would want to compete for her.

If she was willing to stay, Tianyin Sect would likely open a new lineage for her.

This wasn’t baseless speculation; it was what the Senior Sister guarding Lawless Tower had told him.

Since he had been to Lawless Tower more and more frequently, he had become somewhat familiar with the Senior Brothers and Sisters there, which might be helpful in the future.

“What are you so eager to do today?” Jiang Hao asked by the riverside.

“Friends on the road all know Lord Rabbit has the stature of a great demon. Sometimes they give me some face and bring offerings,” the rabbit said proudly as it walked.

“Speak human language,” Jiang Hao said.

“Cheng Chou said he brought some delicious jerky for me and Xiao Li.”

The rabbit said with some regret, “Lord Rabbit likes rich people the most, they’re tender and soft.”

“You like to eat human flesh?” Jiang Hao casually asked.

“Lord Rabbit certainly don’t eat it. The friends on the road all know, how could a rabbit eat meat?” the rabbit said righteously, holding a golden ring.

Jiang Hao chuckled and then headed to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Sure enough, Xiao Li was also waiting early.

“Senior Brother Jiang, did you encounter a thief today?” she ran up to Jiang Hao and asked.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Jiang Hao said indifferently.

“No.”

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief and then sniffed around Jiang Hao.

“There really is.”

“What really is?”

Jiang Hao was quite puzzled.

“The scent of a Senior Sister, I also smelled the scent of a Senior Brother on her,” Xiao Li explained.

“Senior Sister?”

Jiang Hao was confused.

“Yeah,” Xiao Li said, pressing her index finger against her chin and looking up at the sky as if in thought.

“I always thought I was dreaming, but these past few days I suddenly remembered and came to smell Senior Brother. I found out it wasn’t a dream. I don’t know when Senior Sister will come to find me again.”

Just as Jiang Hao wanted to ask more, Cheng Chou arrived.

The rabbit immediately ran over to Xiao Li.

“Senior Sister?”

Jiang Hao pondered with a frown.

There were, at most, four Senior Sisters he had come into contact with.

Senior Sister Miao Tinglian, Senior Sister Ming Yi, Senior Sister Leng Tian, and Senior Sister Zhou Chan.

Senior Sister Miao Tinglian and Senior Brother Mu Qi were a daoist couple.

Although she was a candidate for the saintess of the Tiansheng Sect, she bore no malice towards him, even showing some goodwill.

Logically, she posed no danger.

Senior Sister Ming Yi, also a candidate for the saintess of the Tiansheng Sect, was much more dangerous.

Senior Sister Leng Tian was fully focused on going out to find things, and with her cultivation, she wasn’t dangerous either.

Senior Sister Zhou Chan was the safest of them all.

Her heart was kind.

If he had to say who might have approached Xiao Li, it would most likely be Senior Sister Ming Yi.

“I’ll have to get the rabbit to keep an eye on things occasionally, to prevent any trouble.”

Beyond that, he didn’t pay much attention.

The rabbit keeping watch was one thing, but more importantly, Xiao Li herself was special.

She wouldn’t be in any serious danger.

……

In the morning, Jiang Hao selected some spiritual medicines, as the outer sect Spiritual Medicine Garden was finally being integrated.

Led by the Candlelight Alchemy Court, they began planting.

The Spiritual Medicine Garden was most beneficial to the Candlelight Alchemy Court, and the other sects did not compete.

As long as they weren’t the last, it was face-saving.

Currently, the spiritual medicines needed to be sent out in about three batches.

For the first batch, Jiang Hao didn’t take much from the Spiritual Medicine Garden, instead using some of his own to replace it.

When they were returned, they would belong to the outer sect’s cultivation and could be sold.

He didn’t take them all out at once, planning to send them out gradually in three batches.

After Cheng Chou took the spiritual medicines away, Jiang Hao planned to check on the Spiritual Medicine Garden and then try his hand at talisman drawing.

He would return in the evening to make talismans.

However, before long, an outer disciple returned in a rush using a Swift Travel Talisman.

He looked panicked.

“Senior Brother Jiang, something has happened.”

“Something happened?” Jiang Hao was slightly surprised.

This was an outer sect Junior Brother who had gone to deliver spiritual medicines.

Did something happen to Cheng Chou and the others?

How could that be?

“Yes, there was a need to travel by sword, and during Senior Brother Cheng’s sword flight, he was suddenly knocked off a cliff by a Senior Sister, and we don’t know if he’s alive or dead. I ran back immediately,” the outer disciple hurriedly explained.

Jiang Hao frowned.

Then, using the Demon Sound Thousand Li technique, he quickly disappeared with the outer disciple.

In a short while, they arrived at a cliff.

It was the Duanqing Cliff Spiritual Medicine Garden team.

At that moment, Cheng Chou was arguing with someone while injured.

“Isn’t Senior Sister being too unreasonable? It was clearly you who bumped into me, causing my spiritual medicines to be damaged, and yet you still demand compensation from me?”

“If you hadn’t blocked my way, would my clothes have been damaged? I’m only asking you to pay for the repairs, which is already more than fair.”

“But what about my spiritual medicines?”

“You didn’t take care of your spiritual medicines, what does that have to do with me? Enough, enough, if you won’t pay, then don’t pay. Consider it my bad luck.”

Jiang Hao looked at some of the broken spiritual medicines and noticed that many of them were his.

Then he turned his gaze to Cheng Chou.

It was just a superficial wound, nothing serious.

Finally, he looked at the Senior Sister.

She had a somewhat broad forehead.
