Compared to Su Ming's reaction, Gu Ruoqing was more curious about Dongfang Bai.
He had long heard that Dongfang Bai had come out of seclusion and had broken through to the Xiantian eighth stage. At this age, his cultivation was not inferior to the elites of other sects in the martial arts world.
However, why did she come here today?
Dongfang Bai was dressed in a long white dress and a mink cloak. Her graceful figure made her look tall and straight. Her delicate face was as beautiful as a painting, and her skin was fair and translucent like jade. Coupled with the faint and cold aura that she exuded, she looked even more mysterious.
Dongfang Bai's gaze lingered on the collapsed wooden house for a moment, then she cast a glance at Su Ming and Gu Ruoqing. As her phoenix-like eyes sparkled, a light shone in them. Then, she walked to the stone platform outside the forbidden area.
The few old women flashed and split into four directions, protecting Dongfang Bai behind them.
Dongfang Bai was so important to the Divine Sect that they didn't dare to relax, even though this was an important place in the sect.
The stone tablet outside the forbidden area was engraved with eight big words.
Those who trespassed the forbidden grounds of the Divine Sect would die!
Behind this stone door, Sect Master Yang Dingtian had already been in seclusion for ten years.
"Master, I'm here to see you.”
She was picked up by Yang Dingtian. Five years ago, when she was in seclusion, Yang Dingtian was already in the forbidden area. Counting the time, she hadn't seen her master for ten years.
Dongfang Bai bowed respectfully to the stone door.
The forbidden area was silent. Only the cold wind came through the cracks of the stone door.
Dongfang Bai couldn't sense his master's aura, which was exactly the same as five years ago!
"Master, you…Is he dead or alive?"
In her mind, Dongfang Bai recalled the guesses of the guardians and elders of the cult, and her heart wavered a little.
Five years ago, Yang Dingtian's aura had already disappeared. At that time, the higher-ups of the sect had already made a guess, but Dongfang Bai and Yang Xiao firmly believed that Yang Dingtian must have stepped into a higher realm, which was why they couldn't sense his aura.
Die?
In Dongfang Bai's opinion, it was impossible!
Yang Dingtian was extremely talented. He was in his early fifties, but his cultivation had already stepped into the ninth stage of Mythology Realm. When the martial artists of the various sects heard his name, they all retreated!
During the great battle between good and evil, Yang Dingtian's fierce reputation was unrivaled in the world!
How could such a person die so easily?
Shaking his head, Dongfang Bai got rid of the thought in his mind.
Not far away, when he saw Dongfang Bai bow to him, Su Ming said softly,"Let's go. There's nothing to see."
Dongfang Bai had already noticed the two of them. Su Ming did not intend to interact with Dongfang Bai too early, which was why he decided to leave.
"Wait…"
Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, Dongfang Bai's cold voice suddenly sounded.
The few old women did not hesitate at all. Two of them immediately moved forward and covered a distance of one hundred something feet to stand in front of Su Ming.
"Greetings, Substitute Cult Master. What instructions do you have?”
Su Ming and Gu Ruoqing stopped in their tracks and looked at Dongfang Bai, who was walking towards them leisurely. The two of them wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed slightly.
What was supposed to come still couldn't be avoided.
Dongfang Bai had noticed the two of them the moment he arrived. It was obvious that he would not let them go so easily.
Su Ming wanted to leave early to avoid Dongfang Bai, but it seemed that it was impossible.
Dongfang Bai arrived three meters away from the two of them and sized them up. He was a little curious.
She had already noticed them when she arrived here earlier. One of them had a dark and unclear zhenqi, and she could not see his cultivation realm clearly. He seemed rather mysterious.
As for the other girl, not only was she elegant and beautiful, but her cultivation had already entered the third level of Marrow Cleansing!
Such a cultivation was considered stunning even in the sect. It was even better than the core disciples of the sect.
Why did he become a patrolling disciple here?
Although the status of the patrolling disciples in the forbidden area was relatively special, their cultivation was generally low. They were disciples who had been abandoned by the sect. The cultivation of these two people clearly should not be!
"With your cultivation, you shouldn't be a mere disciple guarding the mountain. Are you willing to follow me?”Dongfang Bai looked at Gu Ruoqing and asked.
The expressions of the few old women beside him changed slightly. They were all very surprised.
There were many disciples in the sect, and there was no lack of those with stunning talent. Why would they be interested in a young girl at the Marrow Cleansing realm?
To Gu Ruoqing, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity. As long as she seized it, with Dongfang Bai's support, she would be able to rise to the top in the Fire Worship Sect!
Su Ming cast a glance at Dongfang Bai, but he did not say anything.
Gu Ruoqing quickly recovered from her shock and cast Su Ming an instinctive glance, then looked towards Dongfang Bai. She wrapped her fist in her palm and said,"Reporting to the Substitute Cult Master, this subordinate feels that being a disciple guarding the mountain is quite good. It's free and won't affect my cultivation.”
"Moreover, with Senior Brother Su accompanying me here, my cultivation can be more..."
At that moment, Su Ming's voice rang out and interrupted Gu Ruoqing.
"Substitute Cult Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.”
"Ruoqing, it's getting late. You should go patrol the mountain.”
When she heard Su Ming's words, Gu Ruoqing stuck out her tongue and immediately came to her senses. She had almost forgotten what her senior brother had told her.
If Dongfang Bai knew that her martial arts were all taught by Senior Brother Su, then Senior Brother Su would not be able to stay quiet.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Su reminded him in time!
"Substitute Sect Master, this subordinate will go patrol the mountain first!”
Gu Ruoqing hurriedly bowed and turned to walk towards the mountain path.
Su Ming did not look at Dongfang Bai's face. Once he bowed, he left behind Gu Ruoqing.
"Interesting!"
Watching the two of them disappear into the vast snow, the corners of Dongfang Bai's mouth curled up slightly.
Su Ming's words were clearly meant to hide something. From Gu Ruoqing's words, she could guess that Gu Ruoqing's level of cultivation was probably related to this senior brother Su, but this senior brother Su did not want anyone to know his background.
"Substitute Sect Master, this subordinate will go and capture them!”
an old woman said when she could clearly tell that Dongfang Bai was interested in the two of them.
"There's no need. Just go and get the information on these two people. I have my own arrangements for the rest!”
Dongfang Bai shook his head. After giving his instructions, he turned around and returned to the entrance of the forbidden area, standing there without moving.
"Yes, sir!"
The four of them bowed respectfully and dispelled the thoughts in their hearts.
