Splash!

A fish jumped out of the river and fell back into the water.

Under the moonlight, it poked its head out, took a deep breath, and was about to continue its leap when suddenly a white mass appeared on the water’s surface and headed toward it.

In a moment of desperation, it could only try to dodge.

When the white mass floated past, it took a look.

It was a rabbit-like beast.

There was no movement for a while.

At that moment, the moonlight shone on the empty courtyard by the river. Light shone on the wooden house.

There were some voices coming from inside.

Moonlight shone through the window. A woman with long hair fluttering in the wind gently put down the talisman brush in her hand and looked at the man beside her.

“Do you have a lot of spirit stones?” she asked.

“Just a few.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He had a few million spirit stones.

In the past, he had not even seen so many spirit stones. He had lived for over seventy years but had never been so rich.

“Do you still remember your ‘brother’?” Hong Yuye asked.

‘The Holy Master?’ Jiang Hao immediately thought of him.

After a moment, he realized that he was talking about Chi Tian.

Jiang Hao’s face darkened.

“So, you do remember…” Hong Yuye chuckled.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. She was probably talking about the spirit stones he had taken from her.

But…

The Red Dragon’s actual brother was Gu Jin. Gu Jin owed her the spirit stones, not Jiang Hao.

Unfortunately, he did not dare to say that out loud.

Jiang Hao fell silent, and Hong Yuye did not ask him any more questions.

Instead, she asked about the gathering.

Jiang Hao immediately said, “I learned some things from this gathering. I also sensed that there’ll be danger.”

“Danger?” Hong Yuye was surprised. “When do you not feel like there’s danger in the world?”

“The danger this time is different,” Jiang Hao said.

Before, it was dangerous for him if he went out. This time, the danger would come for him if he waited here.

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye picked up the talisman and threw it into the stone tablet.

After that, she let Jiang Hao talk about the gathering at length.

She wanted to know what kind of danger he was referring to.

“The people in the gathering are all immortals, so they usually have their own problems.” Jiang Hao brought up the problem with Gui and the others.

Hong Yuye did not say anything.

Jiang Hao did not elaborate.

He also mentioned the three tasks Senior Dan Yuan had assigned.

“How many of these three do you have information on?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Two,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

“Other than the East Heavenly Pole?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes. Do you know anything about that, senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The people of the East Heavenly Pole cannot be known now. They cannot be approached even if there are any snippets of information about them. Don’t worry about it.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He was curious about the East Heavenly Pole.

Unfortunately, Hong Yuye had no intention of giving him more information regarding it.

After that, the other party asked the last mutated beast.

Jiang Hao told her that it was in the Imperial City.

But he also speculated that since it hadn’t been discovered for so long, someone must have done something in advance.

The exact situation was unknown.

As for the Holy Master, Jiang Hao did not say much about it. He only told her that he was quite familiar with the Holy Master.

He could only talk with the Holy Master before the latter’s strength increased.

Hong Yuye did not care about that.

There was no need for her to interfere in the transaction between the Holy Master and the immortal sects.

However, Jiang Hao did mention his plan for the one with the heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

“What do you want to give her?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.

“The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. I feel that this divine object is more suitable in her hands,” he said. “I’m not worthy of it. Besides, it’s partly my fault that she could not become the owner of great luck. I don’t want to owe others.”

Only by doing that could he remain in the sect with a clear conscience and not have to care so much about the outside world.

He could only do his best to live peacefully after that.

He was a selfish person. He could only continue to be selfish if he did not owe anyone.

“Who else do you owe your success to?” Hong Yuye asked.

“The Grand Earth Emperor,” Jiang Hao said.

“Anyone else?” Hong Yuye asked.

“As for the academy’s help, it was for Gu Jin. So, that’s acceptable,” said Jiang Hao.

Becoming Gu Jin had brought on some responsibilities he could not avoid.

Of course, the benefits brought by this name could also be accepted.

There was no need to pay too much attention to it.

“Looks like you owe a lot of people,” Hong Yuye said. “Go on.”

“Senior Dan Yuan mentioned the chaos and danger the Great Era would bring,” he said.

He wrote everything down in the notebook.

“Senior,” Jiang Hao said, “with the arrival of the Great Era, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower may attract the attention of many people.”

“Is that the danger you mentioned?” Hong Yuye asked.

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “That’s just one of many. If Senior Dan Yuan is right, then the treasures will undergo many changes. The stone tablet is also a type of treasure. Would the mastermind behind the stone tablet know that you are looking for them, Senior? Will they use it to influence you somehow?”

That was what he needed to pay attention to.

From what he knew, the mastermind behind the stone tablet was powerful and dangerous.

If that person could sense them and their surroundings, he would be in trouble.
