Chapter 39 Let's go to the Assassin's Temple!
Between family members, sometimes it's not necessary to ask so many questions.

Bai Haochen knew that they were keeping things from him for his own good, and he accepted this approach.

"Alright, then I'll wait for Chenchen to protect me."

Feng Jing didn't say anything discouraging; instead, she went along with Bai Haochen's words and tried to coax her.

Bai Haochen will grow up and his strength will improve. But she will also grow up and her strength will improve, so I'm afraid Bai Haochen won't have many opportunities to protect her.

Since that day, Bai Haochen, who was already very diligent, has become even more diligent in his cultivation.

But seeing Feng Jing looking both stressed and exhausted, she could only watch as he struggled to breathe.

"Come on, let's try something different today. I'll take you out for a walk to clear your head."

"Do you want to see the scenery of the demon realm?"

"Or would you rather see the culture and people of the holy city?"

"Or perhaps, you'd like to visit the various temples?"

Feng Jing didn't want to push Bai Haochen too far, so he decided to take Bai Haochen out for a walk to clear his head.

She gave Bai Haochen three choices.

Upon hearing the third option, Bai Haochen's eyes immediately lit up.

"I want to see the six great temples."

He pretended he wanted to see the six great temples, but his real intention was to go to the Assassin's Temple to see Saint Cai'er.

Although they had only known each other for two or three days, Bai Haochen often thought of Sheng Cai'er during the months they were apart.

"Alright, let's go to the Warrior's Temple in the Southeast Fortress first, it's the closest to us."

Feng Jing deliberately teased Bai Haochen.

But to his surprise, Bai Haochen didn't care at all.

"Ok."

He was so well-behaved and sensible that he went wherever Feng Jing told him to go.

"alright."

Feng Jing thought Bai Haochen would whine and say he wanted to go to the Demon Exorcism Pass first, but he didn't. So Feng Jing could only explore the Southeast Fortress first.

Feng Jing then led Bai Haochen on a journey from the southeast fortress along the human border. By the time they arrived at the Assassin's Temple at Exorcism Pass, it was already the following year.

"So this is the Exorcism Pass. The mountains over there are huge!"

Standing on the back of the flying magical beast, Bai Haochen could see the undulating Demon-Suppressing Mountains in the distance and couldn't help but marvel.

"What mountain range is that, Auntie?"

What's on the other side of the mountain?

This was Bai Haochen's first time going out, and he was very curious about every scene and building on the mainland.

"On the other side of the mountain, there lives a..."

"A group of demons."

After the sharp turn, Feng Jing uttered the words "Demon Clan".

That was close, I almost let it slip.

"what?"

Bai Haochen realized, "So this mountain range is to block the demons."

"Ah."

It's true that a group of demons live on the other side of the mountain, but there's also a family living there; they are all your family.

Feng Jing was waiting, waiting until Bai Haochen was a little older and more mature before telling Bai Haochen about his relationship with the demons.

Despite relying on the natural pass of the Demon-Controlling Mountains and being guarded by the Assassin Temple among the six great temples, the Exorcist Pass is not particularly strong overall.

Feng Jing and Bai Haochen rode a seventh-tier flying magical beast. The beast was so large that the guards at Exorcism Pass spotted them from afar.

"Feng Jing of the Temple Alliance has come to pay his respects to the chivalrous sir."

To avoid provoking hostility, Feng Jing began to introduce himself from a great distance.

Although they were far away, many people in the Assassin's Temple heard these words. In just an instant, many people "disappeared" from the Assassin's Temple.

"Look at how pathetic they are."

Saint Moon, the master of the Assassin's Temple, cursed under his breath. The little commotion made by those below couldn't be hidden from him at all.

When Feng Jing's voice came, a large portion of the sixth-tier assassins who were still inside the temple and in the Exorcism Pass made excuses to hide.

What seclusion, recuperation, patrolling...?

In short, it boils down to one word: no time.

"Grandpa, what is the goddess doing here? Is she going to take Cai'er away?"

Upon hearing that Feng Jing was coming to visit, Sheng Cai'er's mother, Lan Yanyu, immediately sought out Sheng Yue and anxiously inquired about the matter.

She remembered that when her daughter returned from her training trip last year, she brought with her a letter written by Feng Jing.

The letter read: "If you don't know how to raise children, someone else will raise them for you."

Those words made Lan Yanyu and her husband both angry and anxious.

"Not really."

Saint Moon was a somewhat plump old man, and he waved his hand in denial.

"Her coming here is probably purely for her annual 'challenge'."

"Perfect, let's also test how well those stalkers have trained and whether they're strong enough."

"Hmph, you'd better not embarrass me or the Assassin's Temple!"

Saint Moon, the temple master, actually approved of Feng Jing's annual challenge to the dojo, as it served as a way to encourage the assassins to train.

For several months after each of Feng Jing's visits, the youngsters of their Assassin Temple would train with incredible energy, as if they were on steroids, and the results were amazing.

"Then I'm relieved, no..."

Just as Lan Yanyu and her husband were about to say that they weren't there for Cai'er and wanted to put their minds at ease, they realized they hadn't come.

But before they could feel at ease, they heard their grandfather give instructions.

"However, your mention of Cai'er reminded me of something."

"Go and call Cai'er out of the secret realm, let her meet people."

"grandfather!"

Sheng Cai'er's parents were somewhat unhappy; their intuition told them that Feng Jing was here to take their child away from them.

"Just go when we tell you to. Why all the nonsense?"

"You think I can't order you around?"

Saint Moon has a bad temper; if she raises her voice even slightly, they have no choice but to obey.

"Yes, Grandpa."

On their way to pick up Sheng Cai'er, they ran into Feng Jing, who was with Bai Haochen, and couldn't help but give her a resentful look.

"No, I didn't provoke them, did I?"

Feng Jing looked puzzled and speechless.

"Ignore them, they have eye problems."

Sheng Yue casually gave her grandson and granddaughter-in-law an illness, and when she looked at Feng Jing, she laughed heartily...

Well, no matter how much Saint Moon smiles, she's anything but kind.

"This must be your nephew. He's such a good kid."

After casually praising Bai Haochen, Sheng Yue got down to business.

"How long do you plan to stay in the Assassin's Temple this time?"

"Is there any progress on that matter we talked about last time?"

No one knew that Sheng Yue was really looking forward to Feng Jing's visit.

"More or less." Feng Jing left the rest of his words unsaid.

Then, raising an eyebrow, she asked Sheng Yue curiously.

"But have you thought it through? Are you really willing to let Sheng Cai'er become my disciple? You don't mind that I'm just a teenage girl, and you don't mind that I'm only at the sixth level?"

Yes, it happened when Feng Jing went to the Assassin's Temple to "challenge" them last time.

Both sides had a certain intention: to make Feng Jing and Sheng Cai'er become master and disciple.
