“No wonder…”

“No wonder?”

Zhu Nianyan heard her grandfather’s unexpected words and shifted her gaze from the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand to him. She asked curiously, “No wonder what, Grandpa?”

Zhu Cong  shook his head and looked at Xu Bai. “That little girl from the Su family just now must have used this Foundation Establishment Pill to enter the Dao, right?”

Xu Bai didn’t want to hide anything and so he nodded.

If it was anyone else who asked him, he would definitely have claimed to not know anything.

But Zhu Cong?

There was need.

“What?”

Zhu Nianyan couldn’t help but exclaim when she heard this. She looked at Xu

Bai and said, “So she used the Foundation Establishment Pill to enter the Dao.

Oh my god, do you know how expensive these things are?”

To think that she was envious of Su Meng, who had already entered the Dao.

She never would have thought…

“That’s not right.”

Zhu Nianyan turned to look at her grandfather, Zhu Cong.

“Grandpa, isn’t the Su Family an aristocratic family? Moreover, their from the Archaic Mysteries Sect. There are eight sects of the Immortal Dao. Didn’t they claim to have a good background?” “The girl from the Su family is different.”

“What?”

“The Su family’s girl’s innate foundation was damaged. Originally, the Su family wanted her to walk the path of human cultivation.”

Zhu Cong gave a simple explanation. Then, he glanced at the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand and handed it back to Xu Bai. “Take it. It’s too much of a waste to give it to Nianyan.”

This was the truth.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was strong enough to allow a normal person to enter the path of the Immortal Dao instantly.

However, Zhu Nianyan…

Although Zhu Nianyan hadn’t entered the Dao, she was only one step away from it. Her using this Foundation Establishment Pill would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. It was nothing more than a waste.

However, Xu Bai didn’t take the Foundation Establishment Pill back. Instead, he threw it at Zhu Nianyan.

Zhu Nianyan cried out in surprise. She subconsciously reached out her hands and caught the Foundation Establishment Pill.

“You don’t want it?”

“I never have the habit of taking back what I’ve given away.”

Xu Bai said lightly. Perhaps the Foundation Establishment Pill was very valuable in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, it was almost no different from the blue pills on the market besides the fact that it was a little difficult to refine.

Zhu Nianyan blinked, feeling the heroic spirit in Xu Bail s words. Her eyes fell on the Foundation Establishment Pill in her hands. Just the fragrance alone made her feel like she had stepped into the Dao.

Once Xu Bai finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Cong, who was just about to speak, and changed the topic. “Old man, do you know the Su family very well?”

As he spoke, he thought of Zuo Lei, who had chosen to commit suicide after hearing what Su Ruyu had said.

And…

Su Meng, who had suddenly switched to the cultivation path of the Great Desodlate world

Zhu Cong glanced at his granddaughter and chuckled. “I don’t know much about it. I only know a little more than the average person.”

“Do you know about the mystery surrounding Su Meng’s background?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

“Of course.” Zhu Cong nodded.

Su Meng’s identity was a secret to many people, but it was not to him, the Sect Master of the Thief Sect and the leader of the heretical path.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

Did he really know?

“What?”

“I can’t say.”

“Hmm?”

Xu Bai frowned when he heard this.

“You can’t say?”

“Yes, I can’t say.”

Zhu Cong’s expression turned serious, and was clearly not joking. He looked at Xu Bai and said, “I know it’s a one-time thing, but I can’t say it because once I do, it could make things very dangerous.”

“I’m not afraid of danger,” Xu Bai said with a smile.”

Zhu Cong laughed and said,

“I didn’t say that you would be in danger. You have excellent innate luck.

Otherwise, I would have brought you along with me back then.”

“Then tell me…”

“I’m talking about that girl from the Su family.”

Xu Bai frowned. “You’re telling me that I won’t be in danger, but Su Meng will?”

“Yes, and it’s very serious danger.” Zhu Cong nodded.

Xu Bai frowned.

It was hard to understand.

“Wait a minute, let me do it.”

Xu Bai shook his head and looked at Zhu Cong. “You mean, if you tell me about the mystery of Su Meng’s background, I won’t be in danger, but Su Meng will?”

Zhu Cong nodded again.

Xu Bai smiled. “I’m sorry, but I don’t understand. If you’re worried that I’ll tell others, you can rest assured. I’m very trustworthy when it comes to keeping secrets. ”

Yes.

He definitely had more credibility than Chen Shan.

Moreover…

Regarding Xu Bai’s credibility, many intellectual and independent women in Feng City could testify on his behalf. If he said that he had not been in the same bed as another woman, then he would keep to his word, unless they had special requests.

But…

Zhu Cong shook his head again.

Xu Bai looked at Zhu Cong suspiciously. He began to wonder if Zhu Cong really knew, or if he was just pretending to know to show off.

Zhu Cong seemed to understand Xu Bail s gaze and said with a smile, “Would you believe me if I told you that I played a part in Su Meng’s birth?”

Xu Bai was stunned when he heard this.

Zhu Cong smiled mysteriously.

The core profoundness of the Heavenly Secrets Technique was just to intercept the secrets of the heavens and run to the River of Destiny. Using the observed fate, one could use tricks to change fate through small actions.

However, for the Thief Sect, which focused on the Heavenly Dao, they could directly enter the River of Density without beating around the bush and immediately change their own fate.

After all…

The Thief Sect’s Heaven’s Mending Strategy could allow an ordinary person who had no cultivation foundation to reach the level of cultivation. If this wasn’t considered bullying the heavens, nothing else could be.

Xu Bai was clearly shocked by Zhu Cong’s words.

He was truly shocked.

Of course.

What shocked Xu Bai wasn’t the Thief Sect’s Heaven Mending Strategy, but Zhu Cong’s claim that he had personally participated in Su Meng’s birth.

However…

Xu Bai still couldn’t understand why Zhu Cong said that if he told the truth, Xu Bai wouldn’t be in danger. Instead, Su Meng, who knew the secret, would be in danger. “And it’s a great danger?”

“Yes.”

“Where does danger stem from?”

Not only was Su Meng’s identity related to his mission, but Xu Bai was also curious about it. After all, Su Meng was his disciple.

Xu Bai frowned and looked at Zhu Cong. “I haven’t seen Su Mingli before, but he should be more powerful than Su Bancheng and An Ya. With these three people, would Su Meng be in danger?”

Zhu Cong once again gave an affirmative answer.

“Yes, she will.”

“How is that possible? Who could be so powerful?”

“I didn’t say that the danger came from people.”

“Hmm?”

Xu Bai subconsciously looked up at Zhu Cong.

The danger did not come from people.

Then…

What was it?

Xu Bai opened his mouth and looked at Zhu Cong. Just as he was about to ask more questions, there was a knock on the door.

Zhu Nianyan looked at the surveillance video to the side and saw a man and a woman standing outside the door. Her eyes lit up. Xu Bail s gaze also fell on the surveillance video.

He saw them.

Speak of the devil.

The man and woman outside the door were Su Bancheng and An Ya, whom he had just mentioned.

Zhu Nianyan opened the door to the shop and looked at An Ya with surprise. She said sweetly, “Sister An Ya.”

An Ya smiled slightly and was about to speak when her nose twitched. She picked up the scent of medicine that she recalled from the Su family manor. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xu Bai, who was sitting not far away and drinking tea with Zhu Cong. Her beautiful eyes flashed as if she knew a secret.

“Sect Master Zhu.”

Su Bancheng, who had come with An Ya, had countless thoughts flashing through his mind as well. With a serious expression, he bowed to Zhu Cong, who was drinking tea, and said, “Thank you, Sect Master, for the pill.”

Zhu Cong was stunned.

Xu Bai understood.

Su Bancheng had mistakenly thought that Su Meng’s Foundation Establishment Pill had come from Zhu Cong.

This…

It was great.

Zhu Cong frowned.

“I forgot to tell you, Master,” Xu Bai interrupted. “I gave the pill that you gave me to Su Meng.”

Su Bancheng raised his eyebrows again.

An Ya also raised her eyebrows.

Zhu Cong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Bai. Then, he saw the look in Xu Bai’s eyes.

Good heavens.

He didn’t know why, but he suddenly realized something. The reason that even after insisting that he would not join the his sect under any circumstances, Xu Bai suddenly gave it a second thought and changed his mind.

Zhu Cong’s thoughts spun rapidly as he uttered a few ‘uh-huh’s. His expression quickly turned from twisted to natural. “This… Forget it, I’ll give it to you.” He acted very magnanimously, as if he was the dignified sect Sect Master of the Thief Sect and the leader of the heretical path. A mere Foundation Establishment Pill was not worth mentioning.

Su Bancheng, on the other hand, couldn’t help but look at An Ya when he heard how Xu Bai addressed Zhu Cong. It was as if they were communicating with each other through eye contact.

What happened to the Sword Sect?

‘It was too late, I suppose.’

The person you thought highly of had already defected to the heretical path without saying a word. On the wrong path of cultivation, he had left everyone in the dust.

An Ya ignored Su Bancheng’s gaze and sat down on the sofa. Her beautiful eyes fell on Xu Bai.

She didn’t believe that the Thief Sect would have Foundation Establishment

Pill.

If there was any sect that was more afraid of using pills than the Eight Immortal Sects, it would be the Thief Sect.

After all, ever since the geterodox path was split into nine, the Thief Sect, which had inherited the main body, had made a promise. They has swon that they would only regain the skill of medicinal pills when the Danding Sect returned.

Moreover…

This was a heavy oath.

so…

The Thief Sect would never use pills, let alone a Foundation Establishment Pill that could allow one to enter the Dao directly upon consuming it.

If the Thief Sect used Foundation Establishment Pills, then the disciples of the

Thief Sect would have already run all over the mountain.
