These people were all at the Golden Core stage, and amongst them, there were two at the early stage of the Yuan Infant.

If Jiang Xiaobai was just in the initial stage of Qi refining, this lineup would have been extremely powerful. He would only have one path—death.

Unfortunately for them, Jiang Xiaobai was already in the late stage of the Yuan

Infant.

His cultivation was outrageously strong.

Jiang Xiaobai reacted in an instant, charging out furiously and dodging the attacks of several people.

Such a quick reaction was thanks to the sneak attack previously made by three idiots, which made Jiang Xiaobai especially cautious during his everyday cultivation.

After evading the attacks, Jiang Xiaobai did not retreat. Instead, he stood his ground, and a heavenly-grade longsword appeared in his hand.

This place was a small grove where the Scripture Pavilion and Dragon Valley Plaza intersected. It was normally bustling during the day, but at night, there was not a soul in sight.

It was, indeed, an ideal place for murder!

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai did not retreat, the group of assassins began to revel in a joyous mood, standing against him.

“I have seen those who do not fear death, but never have I met one who seeks it. Do you honestly think you—a mere Qi refiner—can combat us?”

The man in black who was leading the group gave a cold laugh. Without wasting any more words, he gestured the others to move in, ready for a quick and decisive battle.

Jiang Xiaobai sneered and began to dance with his longsword, creating a flower shape in the air.

In the next instant, the room was filled with the sharp light from his sword. Before the assassins could react, all of them were killed by Jiang Xiaobai!

These assassins were only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, literally worth nothing to Jiang Xiaobai.

After swiftly killing them, he walked forward to lift their masks using his longsword. They were all unfamiliar faces, and none of them had the brutal aura of Dragon Clan members.

As expected, Ao Zhantian would not allow the people in Dragon Valley to make a move against him.

Therefore, how these people managed to enter the Dragon Valley is a mystery and a point worth investigating.

But Jiang Xiaobai was not näive enough to think that this was the end of Ao Zhantian’s schemes.

His target was no small fry.

“You bald bastard, I vowed to kill you when I ventured out, and I meant it,” Jiang Xiaobai said. There was a cold smile on his face.

He planned to kill Ao Zhantian by using a cunning method—poison. The legendary Nine Yin-Yang Pills—that he could indeed refine.

However, he couldn’t let Ao Zhantian die too easily yet. He needed to use him to draw out Ao Cangtian!

Jiang Xiaobai had long suspected that Ao Zhantian was the one who had wrongly blamed Ao Cangtian, as he was currently the one colluding with the Ancient Clan in Dragon Valley.

“Seems like I will have to put in some effort to find evidence,” Jiang Xiaobai said, squinting his eyes. He thought of the cave on the east side of the grove.

Having considered the situation, he said, “Forget it, let that old guy worry about the cave. Now I need to figure out how to win over Liu Xi.”

“The Jade Immortal Sect is a quite powerful force.”

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Xiaobai cleaned up the corpses on the ground using Heavenly Craft Fire, then returned to the courtyard.

As expected, Ao Yan had not gone to practice but chose to wait for his return.

Jiang Xiaobai had noticed some changes in Ao Yan’s attitude towards him lately. Right now, it all seemed like a normal interaction to him.

Without waiting for Ao Yan to speak up, he began to tell her what had happened.

Ao Yan was stunned at first, then her expression turned to disbelief.

“You… are you the disciple of Elder Ao Wu now?” she asked.

“If by Ao Wu you mean that hunchbacked old man, then yes.” Jiang Xiaobai took a sip of water.

“Heh, if he hears you calling him that, you’re in big trouble,” Ao Yan replied with a cold laugh. However, for some reason, she felt happy.

Elder Ao Wu held a very high position in Dragon Valley, perhaps the highest.

But he had chosen to run away from worldly affairs. Even though he had always insisted that he wouldn’t care even if Dragon Valley were to be destroyed, many people had forgotten about his existence.

Such a significant figure suddenly taking Jiang Xiaobai as a disciple was more than astonishing.

Ao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaobai with curiosity for quite some time, then finally started to cultivate.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t bother her. He simply went to sleep.

Early the next morning, he rushed to Ao Cheng’s mansion.

He bumped into two figures coming from the same direction, one of whom was Liu Xi wearing a face veil.

“Is it you?”

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Liu Xi suddenly asked, “Are you the one who wrote the poem for Ao Cheng?”

Having been directly exposed, Jiang Xiaobai could only give an awkward smile and nod before urgently knocking on the door of Ao Cheng’s mansion.

The person who opened the door was Kong Yuhuai, groggy with sleep and reeking of alcohol.

“Ah, Brother Jiang is here?”

The moment he saw Jiang Xiaobai, Kong Yuhuai’s eyes lit up.

Over the past few days, he had learnt a lot about the art of pill refinement from Jiang Xiaobai. The deeper his understanding of the art, the more he thought of Jiang Xiaobai as a brother.

He completely ignored Liu Xi standing on the side and dragged Jiang Xiaobai inside.

“Brother Jiang, you have no idea how upset I was when I couldn’t find you yesterday. The theoretical method you mentioned was tested, and it really works. You’re simply amazing!” Kong Yuhuai was extremely excited, practically dragging Jiang Xiaobai away.

Liu Xi was astonished. Who exactly was this Jiang Xiaobai?

He was able to write poetry for Ao Cheng, which clearly implied that they shared a good relationship.

Now, he was also intimately close with the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain, as if he were Kong Yuhuai’s own brother. Moreover, they were discussing the art of pill refinement.

All of this baffled Liu Xi, especially considering that Jiang Xiaobai was merely at the Qi refining stage!

With a furrowed brow, she followed them inside.

Ao Cheng was already dressed to the nines looking dashing.

His gaze never landed on Jiang Xiaobai or Kong Yuhuai; he was solely focused on Liu Xi.

“Miss Liu.” Ao Cheng approached her gracefully.

This left Jiang Xiaobai feeling astonished. He nudged Kong Yuhuai’s shoulder urgently. “What’s gotten into this guy? Since when did he start acting like this?”

“I don’t really know. He’s been like that since he saw Miss Liu yesterday,” Kong Yuhuai shrugged.

Jiang Xiaobai was inwardly shocked.

Indeed, love was the best medicine that could change a person.

If Ao Yan could see Ao Cheng now, she would probably be relieved.

“Come, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Xiaobai, who I mentioned to you before,” Ao Cheng said with a smile.

Liu Xi nodded to Jiang Xiaobai, but her gaze was filled with curiosity.

“If you’re only at the Qi refining stage, why…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Jiang Xiaobai understood her meaning.

“No particular reason, just some strange twist of fate, perhaps. You guys chat first, I need to talk to Kong,” Jiang Xiaobai replied with a smile before taking Kong Yuhuai outside.

“Why are you leaving? Can’t you talk here?” Kong Yuhuai asked, looking puzzled.

“Get lost! I don’t want to play the third wheel..”
