Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 572 – Gui Is So Bold

Chapter 572: Gui Is So Bold

EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“How dare you, demon?!”

A deep voice echoed in the courtyard.

Immediately, a burst of power erupted.

All the people around were startled, and no one dared to hesitate for a moment. However, by the time Nangong Wenwu and the others arrived, everything was already over.

In a yard, Xuanyuan Hu was kneeling. His breath fluctuated, and his skin was covered by a deep black color.

He looked to be in pain.

“A curse?”

Nangong Wenwu was surprised and immediately went to help suppress it.

“What happened?” Duanmu Xiang was worried.

“He… he’s here… so strong, I…” Xuanyuan Hu struggled to speak. “I couldn’t even react, and I was defeated.”

“Smiling San Sheng?” Nangong Wenwu was quite surprised. “Did he come to take the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan?”

“Yes, but he didn’t find it, and he seemed… a bit angry,” Xuanyuan Hu said.

The three people were speechless.

This was troublesome. If they hadn’t switched locations, the other party would have already taken the item.

“This doesn’t make sense.” Duanmu Xiang was puzzled. “Is Smiling San Sheng really that strong?”

“It must have made a breakthrough after cultivating for so long.”

Nangong Wenwu thought for a moment. “Junior Sister Duanmu, you should be careful. He might come after you.”

Bi Zhu looked puzzled.

‘It’s not with Senior Xuanyuan? What’s going on?’

‘Did I get the wrong information? Or did they anticipate that someone would inquire about Senior Xuanyuan and plan accordingly?’

Bi Zhu felt it was unlikely. Her source was reliable. She didn’t want to believe the information might have been false.

‘Could they be deceiving even their own people?’

Bi Zhu felt somewhat troubled. She thought that she would obtain the item tonight and be able to leave tomorrow.

Now, it seemed she had to continue investigating.

Her cover was already blown, and she couldn’t drag this on. Otherwise, it would be a big problem.

‘I didn’t expect a simple task to become so complicated.’ Bi Zhu disappeared into the darkness.

She could only investigate tomorrow and act at night.

The only trouble was that the people from the Blackheaven Sect would

detinitely make the Heavenly Note Sect search tor her.

She needed to leave as soon as possible.

The next day, Bi Zhu targeted Duanmu Xiang. However, what surprised her was that it seemed that the people from the Blackheaven Sect did not ask the Heavenly Note Sect to arrest anyone.

‘Are they aware of their guilt and are hesitant to ask?’

Smiling San Sheng was brought in by the Blackheaven Sect themselves, it indeed seemed unwise to ask the Heavenly Note Sect for help.

‘But something doesn’t feel right. Could it be a trap to lure me in?’

‘Senior Duanmu’s place is alright. There’s no need to worry too much about traps. I’m just afraid the item might not be here.’

If it wasn’t here, then it might be with Nangong Wenwu.

‘It will be difficult if it’s with him. Even if I win, it will take a long time, unless I spend a couple of months preparing in advance.’

Thinking about spending a couple of months here made her a bit helpless.

The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was one thing, but Jing might be nearby.

However, Jing seemed to be held back by something right now.

He might not really care about missing one of the major sect events. He even was able to see the Heaven Lock Technique.

Soon, she arrived at a courtyard. At this moment, she didn’t dare to think too much and began to focus on her surroundings.

After a quick check, everything seemed fine.

Creak!

The door opened, and a beautiful woman walked out.

Bi Zhu became more alert.

It was Senior Duanmu. She sat by the stone table and took out a pitch-black fan to examine it closely. “What use does this fan have?”

Bi Zhu’s eyes lit up.

But she was also a bit worried. She felt like she was being lured in.

This task really made her feel exhausted.

She felt that these people were much more cunning and sly. For a moment, she couldn’t see through them.

After waiting for some time and confirming that there was indeed no problem, she walked out.

“So, the fan is with you?”

In an instant, she appeared right in front of Duanmu Xiang and took the fan.

Then, she backed away a bit.

“Smiling San Sheng?” Duanmu Xiang was surprised. Bi Zhu checked the fan in her hand and was astonished. “It’s real.” Then, she looked at the person in front of her in confusion.

“How did you know it was with me?” Duanmu Xiang asked.

Bi Zhu became more certain of her guess. ‘These people…’

They deliberately wanted to give away the fan.

It wasn’t because it wasn’t in Senior Xuanyuan’s hands, but rather to make it convenient for Smiling San Sheng to take it.

The cooperation with the Heavenly Note Sect went surprisingly smoothly. It was troublesome to carry the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan around.

Duanmu Xiang didn’t know what to say.

“Never mind about that… I won’t fight with you.” Bi Zhu put away the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan, shook her head, and turned to leave.

‘Is that it?’ Duanmu Xiang felt baffled.

She thought they were going to have a big fight, and she had already asked for help.

But the matter with Smilinz San Shenz was resolved. She could now focus on the sect’s matters.

Since the arrival of Gui, Jiang Hao had been waiting.

He was waiting for her to deliver the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.

He didn’t know how the other party would send it over. Maybe she would bring it here.

Jiang Hao worried that the other party might find an excuse to enter his courtyard. She might find out about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. However, Gui had various sources of information. Perhaps, she already knew about that.

Regardless, he had to be cautious.

In these past few days, he had heard that something big had happened in the Blackheaven Sect and speculated that Gui was involved.

But the Heavenly Note Sect hadn’t intervened, and he didn’t know why.

He figured it wouldn’t be long before the fan was delivered.

While he was thinking about it, two people walked out from inside.

The newcomers were none other than the young Bi Zhu and the other woman beside her from before.

She was holding a box and looking at it curiously.

Jiang Hao quickly noticed them.

“Hello, Senior Brother Jiang,” Bi Zhu smiled sweetly.

She looked like a harmless, young girl.

“Junior Sister, are you heading out?” Jiang Hao asked reluctantly.

It felt strange to call her “Junior Sister.”

“More or less, but… there’s something else.” Bi Zhu handed over the box. “This is for you, Senior Brother.”

“For me?” Jiang Hao looked puzzled.

“A senior asked me to give it to you. He said it’s a gift for you.” Bi Zhu smiled.

When Jiang Hao received the item, she leaned over and whispered, “Senior brother Jiang, open it and take a look.”

‘She really plays the part well.’

However, Jiang Hao didn’t dare to open and check, just in case it was the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan. That would be disastrous.

But he never expected that Gui would be so bold as to deliver the item directly into his hands.

Wasn’t she worried that something unexpected might happen?

“You’re too cautious.” Bi Zhu chuckled. Then, she walked out of the gate.

“Goodbye, Senior Brother Jiang..”
