Chapter 76: Bai Ruoxi – The Gradually Yandere Version p1
Lan Mulian stood on an auspicious cloud, her gaze looking at Bai Ruoxi leaving together with Mu Zhi’an.
A Spirit Refinement realm cultivator not even twenty years old… The future prospects of this young miss from the Bai family were completely immeasurable.
If she entered the Two Polarities Sect in a few days, she would probably attract the competition of many peak masters.
This Miss Bai was indeed a genius that stunned countless people…
The first place in this sect assessment would probably be Bai Ruoxi.
Lan Mulian withdrew her gaze and was about to leave.
At this moment, she suddenly keenly captured a wisp of pink smoke in the sky. In the blink of an eye, that pink smoke dissipated into the air.
If one didn’t observe carefully, it would be impossible to notice.
Demonic aura…?
Lan Mulian’s eyes moved slightly as she scanned the surroundings. Almost all directions had cultivators who had just witnessed the heavenly tribulation. It was impossible to tell from whom this demonic aura came.
She immediately raised her hand, took out a talisman, and waved it out. That talisman seemed to be lit by fire, turning into ashes and scattering in the wind.
When Lan Mulian raised her eyes again, there was a hint of an eerie golden light in them.
One of the secret techniques of the Two Polarities Sect, the Aura Observation Technique.
People are born with “aura.” The spiritual energy of cultivators, the luck of ordinary people, the demonic aura of demonic cultivators, and all kinds of emotions.
Through the Aura Observation Technique, all of this could be seen at a glance.
Lan Mulian’s gaze swept over the crowd of cultivators. What emanated from each cultivator’s body was a semi-transparent white spiritual energy.
She didn’t see any demonic cultivators in this place.
But that wisp of demonic aura just now definitely couldn’t have been an illusion.
This was a bit strange… If a demonic cultivator was lurking in the crowd, with her Aura Observation Technique, she would definitely be able to notice it instantly.
But now she couldn’t sense the existence of a demonic cultivator at all.
The only possibility was… that demonic cultivator had just left the scene.
But if it was someone who had just left the scene, wouldn’t it only be…
The white-robed beauty turned her head slightly and gazed in the direction Mu Zhi’an and the others had left, her eyes tranquil.
Another person staring in that direction was Ye Yu. He stared intently at the direction Mu Zhi’an had left in the crowd, or more precisely, at Bai Ruoxi’s uniquely beautiful back.
After a long time, a profound smile appeared on his face.
…
On this day, the matter of a Spirit Refinement realm cultivator facing a tribulation outside the city gate spread among cultivators almost by the afternoon.
After all, it had caused such a big commotion, and many cultivators had witnessed the scene in person at the time, naturally arousing heated discussions.
How long had it been since Tianxuan City produced a Spirit Refinement realm cultivator?
Moreover, the power of this heavenly tribulation had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of Spirit Refinement realm cultivators.
Generally speaking, even if it was three heavenly tribulations, it would be difficult for a Spirit Refinement realm cultivator to withstand them head-on. After all, the power of the heavenly tribulation was determined by the cultivator’s realm and was definitely higher than the cultivator’s own realm in terms of destructive power.
However, Bai Ruoxi not only smoothly passed the heavenly tribulation but even had no damage whatsoever on her body.
This made people have no choice but to pay attention.
“This Miss Bai from the Bai family is really amazing. Not only is her cultivation fast, but even facing the tribulation is so easy for her.”
At this moment, in a room at Yangfeng Inn, Lan Feiying, who had just returned to the inn, sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, looking at the white-robed woman standing by the window, and said,
“When I entered the inn just now, quite a few people were discussing this matter.”
Lan Mulian lowered her eyes, looking at the handbook on the table, and said softly, “Bai Ruoxi’s cultivation speed is indeed a bit frighteningly fast.”
“In that case, Bai Ruoxi should be the first person to enter the Two Polarities Sect, right?” Lan Feiying asked.
“If nothing unexpected happens.” Lan Mulian nodded slightly, but her delicate brows furrowed inadvertently.
At that time, after the heavenly tribulation ended, she clearly felt a wisp of demonic aura, as thin as a thread, surrounding the outskirts of the city gate.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, it might be difficult to notice, but she was born with extreme sensitivity to “aura,” so naturally, she could also sense the existence of that demonic aura.
Lan Mulian pondered for a moment, then took out a paper crane from her spatial ring.
Lan Feiying raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Going to chat with that young master of the Mu family again?”
“It’s different this time.”
Lan Mulian shook her head lightly and calmly said, “There are some things I want to ask him.”
…
Mu Manor.
Mu Zhi’an looked at Bai Ruoxi in the courtyard and sighed with a hint of emotion, “I really didn’t expect Ruoxi to advance to the Spirit Refinement realm in just a few days.”
With the same monstrous talent, Bai Ruoxi’s cultivation speed was still faster than others.
People simply couldn’t be compared.
Wei Mengrou followed his gaze.
Bai Ruoxi was squatting half-kneeling in front of the snow lotus pond, looking at the snow lotuses in the pond, seemingly in a daze.
But in her eyes, there seemed to be an indescribable hint of worry.
“Her talent is indeed enough to look down on her peers. If you don’t work hard in cultivation, you may find it increasingly difficult to control her in the future,”
Wei Mengrou reminded coldly.
Mu Zhi’an shook his head and smiled, “It’s just the Spirit Refinement realm. I can suppress her with a raise of my hand.”
Although the Spirit Refinement realm was powerful, Mu Zhi’an could still control it.
It was the weight of Bai Ruoxi’s heart that he had always found difficult to control.
“Be careful not to be controlled by her instead someday,” Wei Mengrou stared at the girl half-squatting by the snow lotus pond and suddenly said.
Bai Ruoxi rested her chin on her hands, a lock of hair against her beautiful face. As if sensing the gazes of the two, she turned her head to look over, making eye contact with Mu Zhi’an, and showed a shy and gentle smile.
Mu Zhi’an also showed a faint smile, then shook his head and said, “Ruoxi is not the kind of person who has a strong desire for control. This can be seen from her usual style.”
Bai Ruoxi had always been a weak beauty. Although she seemed a bit cold to outsiders and difficult to approach, Mu Zhi’an had repeatedly confirmed during this period that Bai Ruoxi’s heart was actually very warm.
Wei Mengrou snorted, seemingly disdaining the young master’s words.
Mu Zhi’an understood human nature, but he still didn’t understand women’s hearts.
To be precise, he didn’t understand the fickleness of women.
“By the way, there’s another matter you may need to pay attention to,” Wei Mengrou suddenly said, her tone carrying a few more hints of solemnity.
Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look at her.”When the heavenly tribulation ended, Bai Ruoxi’s body had been tempered by the lightning tribulation, and the surrounding spiritual energy was also purified. At that time, a wisp of demonic aura overflowed from her furnace. I’m not sure if other Spirit Refinement realm cultivators noticed it,” Wei Mengrou said.
Mu Zhi’an listened quietly and showed no expression on his face.
“You don’t seem surprised at all. Could it be that you saw it at the time?” Wei Mengrou couldn’t help but ask softly.
Mu Zhi’an shook his head and said, “Paper can’t wrap fire. There will always be a day when people notice.”
“With the sect assessment approaching, if this matter affects Bai Ruoxi’s entry into the sect, it will be troublesome,” Wei Mengrou said in a low voice.
If there was evidence to prove that Bai Ruoxi was a demonic cultivator, or that there was demonic aura in her body, it might affect her entry into the sect in the future.
Even if she was a genius at the Spirit Refinement realm.
This was inevitable. In this environment, human cultivators and demonic cultivators were irreconcilable.
By then, not only Bai Ruoxi but the Bai family would also be implicated.
Even Mu Zhi’an, who had been in close contact with Bai Ruoxi during this period, might be investigated.
If the Spirit Refinement realm cultivators from the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce and even the Gongsun family who were present at that time also noticed that demonic aura… things would be troublesome.
“What do you plan to do?” Wei Mengrou continued to ask.
Mu Zhi’an pondered for a moment and said, “If it’s in the Two Polarities Sect, this matter won’t be easy to resolve.”
He turned his head to look at the maid with peerless beauty and smiled, “But Tianxuan City is the Mu family’s territory.”
