“Elder Bai, do you have any questions?”
“If not, then there’s really no need for Elder Bai to stay in the Demon Sect. Honestly, having someone watching me plan grand schemes all day makes me a little uncomfortable.”
Bai Wuqing was speechless for a moment before asking, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal your plans? Tell Feng Feiling?”
“Elder Bai, go ahead and try.” Tang Guo looked at Bai Wuqing with a smile, but the expression sent chills down his spine. At that moment, he realized he shouldn’t have said that. She was smiling, but if he actually did it, there would be no way out for him.
“I never intended to tell her.” Bai Wuqing quickly explained. His expression remained as cold as ever, but there was a hint of anxiousness in his eyes. “Xiao Guo, I won’t tell anyone your secret.”
[It’s completely falling apart.] The system sighed silently in the corner. Bai Wuqing’s character had completely collapsed.
It shook its head. This was also a case of traveling through time and space, but comparing its host to this mysterious person, the difference was clear. There was a massive gap between traversing with memories intact and without them.
Without memories, who knew what someone would become in their next life? Whether they would be a person or a dog, good or bad. It was completely uncontrollable.
Tang Guo glanced at Bai Wuqing and suddenly laughed. “Elder Bai, I’ve never seen you this anxious before. I can see fear and panic in your eyes.” She stepped forward and stared into Bai Wuqing’s eyes. “What are you afraid of? What’s making you uneasy?”
Naturally, he was afraid of making her angry, Bai Wuqing thought helplessly.
Afraid she would be upset, afraid she would turn and leave, afraid she would become indifferent to him, refusing to even spare him a glance.
He realized he could never fully understand her, and because of that, he didn’t even dare to test her bottom line. He feared that if he accidentally overstepped, she would grow to dislike him.
Bai Wuqing sighed inwardly, recalling his earlier decision. “I plan to return to Xingyue Sect for a while.”
“Elder Bai finally remembers that he’s a righteous man.”
A faint smile flashed in Bai Wuqing’s eyes, mixed with helplessness and a hint of affection. “I’ll come find you again later.”
“You’re coming back?” Tang Guo looked surprised. “If Wen Ziqiu finds out, Elder Bai, I don’t think you’ll be keeping your position at Xingyue Sect for long.”
Bai Wuqing thought to himself that he didn’t particularly care to keep it. Staying in the Demon Sect wouldn’t be a problem, he was only worried she wouldn’t allow it and would drive him away. As for Xingyue Sect, it no longer held much importance to him. That place had already become a place where Wen Ziqiu had the final say.
He was going back for one reason only, to uncover the truth of that day and clear her name. Based on what he had learned about her during this time, it was impossible for her to have stolen the sect’s treasured artifact.
As for the accusations that she had framed Feng Feiling and tried to destroy her spiritual roots. If she had really wanted to do that, not even a hundred Feng Feilings would have been able to outmaneuver her.
Before leaving, Bai Wuqing bid farewell to Mo Yuntian, assuring him that he was only leaving temporarily and would return. Mo Yuntian was so stunned he didn’t even know what to say.
Why did this so-called righteous elder keep running to their Demon Sect?
Unable to hold back, he complained in the group chat: “That Bai Wuqing, Ziyun, Chixiao, you know him, right?”
[Ziyun Zhenren]: “Yeah, what about him?”
[Chixiao Zhenjun]: “He’s not still in the Demon Sect, is he?”
“No, he just left. I said goodbye to him a moment ago. But do you know what he said? He actually said he’s only temporarily leaving and will be back.”
Mo Yuntian felt utterly exhausted. “He’s been hanging around our school flower all day. I never thought Bai Wuqing would turn out to be this kind of Bai Wuqing. Absolutely shameless.”
