On the mountain path.
Su Ming and Gu Ruoqing left on the snow. From afar, they could see Dongfang Bai standing unmoving outside the forbidden area. One of the old woman who had been protecting her had left.
Su Ming knew that Dongfang Bai had definitely sent someone to look up information on them.
Su Ming did not really care about that. His identity was very ordinary, and even if they investigated him, it would be useless.
Bam!
"Aiyo, Senior Brother Su…I'm sorry!"
Gu Ruoqing covered her forehead and apologized timidly.
"You're not young anymore. You have to be careful in everything.”
Once he finished speaking, before Gu Ruoqing could catch up to him, Su Ming had already picked up the two jugs of wine and walked towards his house.
Gu Ruoqing pouted slightly, rubbed her aching forehead, and nodded quickly.
Although she was punished by Senior Brother Su, his action made Gu Ruoqing very happy.
Senior Brother Su had never acted so intimately before. Could this be considered as being more intimate with him?
Gu Ruoqing thought about it and went to patrol the mountain happily.
Dongfang Bai's arrival was just an unexpected interlude to Su Ming, so he did not pay much attention to it.
Anyway, he didn't do anything. He just signed in and cultivated every day!
One day was enough for Dongfang Bai to find out all the information about Su Ming and Gu Ruoqing, but this information was clearly very ordinary!
...
Night gradually descended.
Midwinter nights came very early. When Su Ming came to change shifts, the sky was already a little dark.
With the lantern in his hand, Su Ming went to the forbidden area as usual. Gu Ruoqing had just returned not long ago.
Throughout the day, Gu Ruoqing intentionally avoided Dongfang Bai. She was afraid that Dongfang Bai would ask her questions again, which was why she did not stay long when she patrolled the forbidden area. She would leave very soon and only return to wait when Su Ming was about to come to change shifts.
"Senior Brother Su, I'll be leaving first."
After Gu Ruoqing finished speaking softly, she glanced at Dongfang Bai, who was still standing outside the forbidden area, and left first.
Su Ming held the lantern in his hand. Other than Dongfang Bai, the old women stood in the four corners of the platform as usual, on guard.
He planned to patrol the surroundings first and try not to meet Dongfang Bai if possible.
"Su Ming!"
At that moment, Dongfang Bai, who had been standing still, turned around and called out to Su Ming.
“...”
Su Ming was already prepared for this. Dongfang Bai had already checked his information, but the results were within his expectations.
"I wonder what instructions does the substitute cult master have?" Su Ming turned around.
Dongfang Bai had stopped him at this time for a reason.
Su Ming's calmness caused Dongfang Bai's evaluation of him to rise even higher.
"Do you want to leave the forbidden area? You can go anywhere you want in the various departments of the sect. Moreover, I can arrange for Gu Ruoqing to leave with you.”
Dongfang Bai had seen Gu Ruoqing's potential.
However, this was not enough for her to do so. Dongfang Bai was more curious about Su Ming.
She had a feeling that Su Ming was not simple. He had hidden himself very deeply, and she wanted to know just how deep he had hidden himself.
Su Ming saw through this with one glance.
Dongfang Bai's offer was very attractive, but he did not need it.
In the entire Fire Worship Sect, the forbidden area at the back of the mountain was the quietest. No one disturbed it.
If they were in another place, they would naturally encounter more people and things. These were all troublesome.
And he hated trouble the most!
"I appreciate your kind intentions, but I still prefer the life of patrolling the mountains.”
Su Ming refused without hesitation.
Dongfang Bai had actually been prepared for this answer, but he did not expect Su Ming to reject him so straightforwardly.
"I'm very curious. Your past shows that you're very ordinary, but I can't see through your current cultivation. What realm have you reached?”
"Also, what did you rely on to cultivate in the forbidden area for so many years?”
In addition to talent, the most important thing for cultivation was the supply of natural treasures.
Dongfang Bai was able to reach his current state because he had fulfilled these two conditions.
However, the information she had obtained told her that Su Ming was just an ordinary person with mediocre talent. This made her very puzzled, and at the same time, she became even more curious.
Su Ming smiled faintly." Substitute Sect Master, you're worrying too much. I'm just an ordinary disciple. I don't have any profound level of cultivation.”
This answer was not what Dongfang Bai wanted, but she did not ask any more questions. If Su Ming deliberately hid it from her, there was nothing she could do.
"You really don't want to leave the forbidden area?"
Su Ming shook his head.
When he said that, Dongfang Bai might have become even more curious about Su Ming, but he could only give up on asking.
With a wave of his hand, Dongfang Bai signaled for Su Ming to leave.
Su Ming did not want to stay any longer. He turned around and left.
The sky had already turned completely dark. Dongfang Bai had stayed here for a day and a night.
The old women came before her. One of them cast a glance at Su Ming's back as he left, and a freezing glare shone in her eyes.
"Cult Master, this kid is hiding his true identity. Why don't I capture him and let the disciples of the Disciplinary Hall interrogate him?”
Su Ming had rejected Dongfang Bai's good intentions. His level of cultivation was also mysterious and unfathomable. To them, there were too many suspicious points.
With the way the Sect of Flame did things, all suspicious people and things should be investigated to the end. Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be forced to confess should be forced to confess. This was the most appropriate way to protect the interests of the sect.
This was also one of the reasons why the people of the martial world called them the Demon Cult!
Not only was he ruthless to his enemies, but he was also merciless to his own people!
"No need!"
Dongfang Bai frowned slightly and rejected their suggestion.
There was a mysterious air about Su Ming, and before he could figure it out, Dongfang Bai did not want to do it.
Besides, Dongfang Bai had a feeling that even if he really captured Su Ming, he would probably not be able to get anything out of him. In fact, it might even be a problem if he could capture him.
This feeling seemed ridiculous, but Dongfang Bai still believed in his own feelings.
Perhaps this Su Ming would be able to help her on her path to rejuvenating the God Sect.
