Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Bai Xiaobai frowned, deep in thought.

If this so-called Heavenly Demon Sect really came looking for Xiao Qi, then there are far too many implications.

Besides, Xiao Qi was found by Master, and he knew that Xiao Qi was a divine beast. So, does Master also know something about this Heavenly Demon Sect?

She turned her gaze to her master, only to find him with a somber expression and no hint of a smile.

Bai Xiaobai wondered to himself, "Could it be that I really guessed right?"

Does my master really know about this Heavenly Demon Sect?

Li Qingshan's words just now undoubtedly made everyone present feel a chill.

Just as Bai Xiaobai was still wildly guessing in her mind whether her master also knew that the Heavenly Demon Sect was looking for Xiao Qi, she felt several hopeful and expectant gazes focused on her.

She took a step back, hiding most of her body behind Shen Ji.

"No, why are you all staring at me like that? I'm just a cultivation failure. Breaking through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining was a complete accident. Besides, I haven't even established my foundation yet. You don't really think I can detect any demonic cultivators or anything like that, do you?"

Bai Xiaobai explained that the reason she challenged Mu Yu was because she wanted to trick Mu Yu and the Liuyue Sect, and also to avenge Ye Qinghe.

As for whether we can win, I think we can.

After all, if all else fails, there's still Changling. Changling has formed a soul contract with him, so it's impossible for him to just stand by and watch someone die.

As for probing whether Mu Yu had any connection with demonic cultivators, she really had no idea what to do.

Just as she was waving her hand to politely decline, Shen Ji, who had been silent since the beginning, stood up.

His complexion had returned to normal, with his usual gentle smile, still the handsome man who could make Hua Buyu's heart flutter.

But for some reason, Bai Xiaobai always felt that he seemed to have something on his mind.

But his own "Sleeping Beauty" master is handsome and powerful. Apart from himself, all the disciples he teaches are more and more promising. So what worries could he possibly have?

Just as Bai Xiaobai was making wild guesses, Shen Ji spoke up.

"The appearance of demonic cultivators has far-reaching implications, and we cannot be careless at this time. Therefore, the task of investigating demonic cultivators will be entrusted to our Xiaoyao Peak."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaobai was slightly taken aback, completely unable to understand.

Is it reasonable that his naive and inexperienced master, who would never care if the sky fell, took the initiative to investigate the demonic cultivators?

Of course, Bai Xiaobai wasn't the only one who felt that Shen Ji was acting strangely; Li Qingshan was also somewhat puzzled.

Shen Ji, who had always remained aloof from all matters of the sect, surprisingly took the initiative to propose investigating the matter of demonic cultivators.

Did the sun rise in the west today?

Just as Bai Xiaobai and Li Qingshan were puzzled, Lu Tian, ​​the sect leader of the Sword Sect, got up and came to Shen Ji's side.

He raised his hand and patted Shen Ji on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration. "Peak Master Shen is righteous. The matter of the demonic cultivators involves many people. If they really make a comeback, none of our sects will be able to live in peace. Tell me your plans. If there is anything our Sword Sect can do to help, we will do our best."

After the Sword Sect made its statement, other sects followed suit.

Seeing this, Shen Ji raised his eyes and smiled gently, saying softly, "After the sect's minor competition ends, I originally planned to take my disciples out for training. Now that these demonic cultivators have been able to find the Qingxiao Sect, they must have left some clues. I have a way to track down demonic cultivators, so I plan to take the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak with me to search for them, as if I'm taking them on a training trip together."

Upon hearing Shen Ji's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"That is indeed a good idea. Although demonic cultivators are despicable, they haven't posed much of a threat since the major sects launched their crackdowns back then. Using the pursuit of demonic cultivators as a training method is a win-win situation."

"Rest assured, Peak Master Shen, the matter of demonic cultivators involves all cultivation sects, and we will not let Xiaoyao Peak bear the burden alone. Flower Valley will provide strong support, and will spare no expense in providing spirit stones and medicinal herbs that you may need."

"My Hehuan Sect may not have much else, but we have more spirit stones than we can spend. Just ask, and my Hehuan Sect will absolutely not refuse."

"The Huanhua Sect also fully supports this."

"The Beast Taming Sect will not shirk its responsibility."

Thank you all for your support.

"..."

Bai Xiaobai never expected that his master's casual remark would receive such strong support from a group of sects.

Isn't this just like the cultivation world's practice of soliciting sponsorships?

Then why does she go through all that trouble to earn spirit stones?

But when they're looking for demonic cultivators, they probably won't take me along, right?

But Master has taken his senior brothers and sisters on training trips, so wouldn't it be very boring to stay alone on Xiaoyao Peak?

Bai Xiaobai felt somewhat depressed at the thought of being alone on Xiaoyao Peak in the future.

She looked at her master, who was as bright as the moon and as gentle as the wind, with a hint of resentment, but unexpectedly, Shen Ji's gaze also fell on her.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Ji's eyes were filled with warmth, his gaze so gentle that it could completely captivate anyone.

Bai Xiaobai suddenly understood Hua Buyu.

That smile, so warm and delightful, would make anyone swoon.

She was instantly stunned; her master's beauty was indeed extremely lethal.

So captivated by her serene beauty that she could not hear anything around her.

"Bai Xiaobai, did you even hear what I said, Bai Xiaobai?"

Li Qingshan raised his voice and squeezed between Bai Xiaobai and Shen Ji.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go back to prepare properly. You will only have a chance to fight Mu Yu if you pass the third round of the competition."

Upon seeing Li Qingshan's face, Bai Xiaobai's smile vanished, and she even rolled her eyes at him.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Qingshan's reaction, he left with Shen Ji.

Li Qingshan was furious, but in front of a group of powerful figures from other sects, he could only endure it.

Are the differences between people really as vast as the difference between heaven and earth?

Bai Xiaobai and Shen Ji came to Ling Tian and the others. Looking at Bai Xiaobai, who had turned into a young girl, Ling Tian and the others were both curious and excited.

"Junior Sister, congratulations!"

"I knew my junior sister would be a great beauty, and I was right."

"Junior sister, your fourth senior sister has lots of pretty dresses, all prepared for you."

Seeing the three senior brothers and sisters who were genuinely happy for her changes, Bai Xiaobai felt a warmth in her heart, but also a little ashamed.

"Thank you, senior brothers and sisters. I shouldn't have provoked Mu Yu just now. If I couldn't beat him, it would have implicated Master and you. I was so angry at Mu Yu for bullying Ye Qinghe that I challenged him. But now that I think about it, I was impulsive."

Seeing her head hanging down in self-reproach, Shen Ji raised his arm as before, wanting to pat the top of her head.

But just as his palm was about to strike, he withdrew it.

"I believe in you; you won't lose."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaobai slowly raised her head and met Shen Ji's smiling eyes.

"But what if we lose? What should we do then? Is it really possible that..."
