Chapter 17 Suspected by Master
Li Si, the sect leader of the Yin Gui Sect, was still discussing the future cooperation between the two sects with Shen Cangxuan.
Gao Huohuo only focused on one key point: the upcoming Foundation Establishment Pill competition.
Besides their Shadow Moon Sect, there are four other sects, all of which are at the same level as them.
Does that mean she can be as promiscuous as she wants again?
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, she doesn't need it at all. As long as someone is on her honor roll, Foundation Establishment is just a matter of time.
Since it's a Foundation Establishment Pill competition, only five people from the Shadow Moon Sect will participate.
The Shadow Moon Sect as a whole is quite strong; I wonder what the situation is like with other sects.
Gao Huohuo was still thinking when he saw everyone stand up. It seemed that the discussion was over and the Yin Gui Sect was about to leave.
He quickly stood up and politely waved to the three members of the Yin Ghost Sect.
After the outsiders left, Shen Cangxuan called out Gao Huohuo's name, signaling her to follow.
"Senior Brother, why does Master want to see Junior Sister?"
Lou Chongxiao looked at Gao Huohuo's retreating figure and asked, still a little worried about his junior sister.
After all, their master doesn't usually interfere with them easily, so if he calls them out alone, it means something big has happened.
Chu Lingchuan shook his head. He didn't understand why his master had suddenly called his junior sister away.
At this moment, Mu Hanxing walked over and gestured for everyone to wait a moment.
"This is a spell created by my junior sister, the Seven-Step Lock. I will demonstrate it for you all, so please practice it quickly."
The second senior brother never said a word, which left everyone else somewhat confused.
Fortunately, Lou Chongxiao knew the whole story and told them the whole tale of the three of them.
It's important to emphasize that the rabbit that the junior sister caught was for eating, not for raising.
No one cared about the rabbit; whether Junior Sister cooked it stir-fried or steamed was fine with her.
They are now very interested in the Seven Steps Lock technique, especially after Mu Hanxing and Lou Chongxiao personally demonstrated it again.
So the remaining eight people stayed in the open space.
The other six were responsible for practice, while Mu Hanxing and Lou Chongxiao were responsible for instruction.
Because the second senior brother always had a cold and aloof demeanor, only the eldest senior brother dared to ask him questions.
The rest of the people surrounded Lou Chongxiao, asking him for guidance.
Lou Chongxiao also experienced what it felt like to be surrounded by a crowd, and he admired his junior sister even more.
The junior sister was summoned to Shen Cangxuan's courtyard, and thankfully this time she wasn't sitting on the ground.
Gao Huohuo, acting as if they were old friends, sat down opposite Shen Cangxuan and poured them both a cup of tea.
"Master, please drink tea!"
Shen Cangxuan didn't move, quietly observing Gao Huohuo, waiting for her to speak.
To everyone's surprise, Gao Huohuo didn't play by the rules. He picked up his tea and started drinking it without saying another word.
Are you still trying to use psychological tactics on her? Let's see who loses their temper first, and whoever does will be at a disadvantage.
I'm sorry, Gao Huohuo is very familiar with all of these.
After all, she had even studied psychology for a period of time in order to get five-star reviews when she was a food delivery driver.
As expected, after waiting for a while and seeing that Gao Huohuo wasn't falling for the trap, Shen Cangxuan had no choice but to speak first.
"I just heard your second senior brother say that you even created your own cultivation technique?"
Gao Huohuo was puzzled. When they were there just now, his second senior brother didn't say anything.
That means that when they left, Master could still hear what the second senior brother was saying.
So the Shadow Moon Faction isn't as simple as it seems on the surface!
Her master is probably not just a simple Golden Core cultivator.
So he honestly replied, "Yes, Master, it's called Seven Steps Lock. Actually, it's not exactly my own creation; it's just an improvement on my second senior brother's technique."
"Gao Huohuo, you are very smart and talented. Why did you join my third-rate Shadow Moon Sect?"
This question is easy; she knows how to do it.
This is the same question HR often asks during interviews: why do you want to join our company?
Gao Huohuo was about to launch into a long and eloquent speech, expressing his boundless admiration for the Shadow Moon Sect and for his master, fellow disciples, and senior sisters.
The spellcasting was interrupted by a single sentence from Shen Cangxuan.
"I only listen to the truth."
Gao Huohuo's half-open mouth quickly closed again, and after thinking for a moment, it opened again.
“Master, I have no ill will toward the Shadow Moon Sect, nor toward anyone in the Shadow Moon Sect.”
"I'm just down on my luck now, and I just want to find a home."
Upon hearing Gao Huohuo's words, Shen Cangxuan let out a rare sigh.
Just looking for a home?
He once had such naive fantasies, but in the end, it was all just an empty dream.
As soon as Gao Huohuo saw her master's expression, she knew that he probably had a lot of stories behind him.
This way, it might be harder to fool them. They would have to come up with a different story, but no matter how much they thought about it, Gao Huohuo felt there were loopholes.
In the end, he had no choice but to tell the whole story about the Shadow Sect.
After hearing Gao Huohuo's story, Shen Cangxuan's eyes revealed a hint of empathy, as if they were both down on their luck.
The original intention behind founding the Shadow Moon Sect was to provide a final resting place for the world's downtrodden.
Unexpectedly, his efforts were realized in this last disciple, so it wasn't in vain.
Then he sighed and said, "Now that you have become a disciple of my Shadow Moon Sect, you don't need to worry about the Dark Shadow Sect. I will protect you."
Gao Huohuo's face showed an expression of extreme joy and gratitude, almost to the point of tears.
He just thought to himself: The Shadow Sect has a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in charge, so my master's true cultivation level is probably only the Divine Transformation stage!
If they face each other head-on, she'll still be at a disadvantage!
Forget it, I won't think about that anymore. Those are things for the future. For now, I should just focus on my cultivation!
Seeing that Shen Cangxuan already considered her one of his own, Gao Huohuo took advantage of the situation and said:
"Master, I've been eating steamed buns for a long time now. May I raise some small animals to eat in the sect from now on?"
Shen Cangxuan frowned, remembering the rabbit she had been holding in her arms earlier that day.
I initially thought the little girl just thought the rabbit was cute and kept it as a pet, but who knew it was for eating?
Gao Huohuo was good at reading people, and she noticed that Shen Cangxuan was starting to frown.
He simply said, "Master, I'll take that as your agreement. I'm going now to see where my rabbit went."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away, afraid that if he was a step too late, Shen Cangxuan would catch him and say that he disagreed.
Shen Cangxuan watched the little girl's retreating figure and chuckled twice.
It's quite remarkable that a former cultivation genius, who suffered such a tragic fate, still possesses such composure.
As for how Gao Huohuo was able to continue cultivating, Shen Cangxuan did not ask.
Everyone has their own secrets, and as long as these secrets do not harm others, they can choose not to ask.
However, I'm afraid his youngest apprentice won't be taught the same way as the other disciples.
Fortunately, he has a good character, so there's nothing to worry about.
With Chu Lingchuan taking care of things, there shouldn't be any major problems.
However, Shen Cangxuan underestimated Gao Huohuo's strength, and soon after, his eldest disciple was also turned to the side.
They started fooling around with Gao Huohuo; to be precise, the entire Shadow Moon Sect was fooling around with her.
Fortunately, everyone's strength was increasing rapidly, and the atmosphere of the entire sect was becoming more and more lively.
Shen Cangxuan didn't bother with it and continued to act as a hands-off manager.
Before that, however, he sent a telepathic message to Chu Lingchuan, asking him to take Gao Huohuo to find a better weapon before the competition.
Otherwise, if Gao Huohuo goes on stage empty-handed during the competition, it will be Shen Cangxuan who loses face.
