nXing Hongxuan?

nHan Jue's eyelids twitched.

nHow did that witch know Liu Sanxin?

nCould Xing Hongxuan have infiltrated the Ten Thousand Demon Realm with the Cult?

nIt had been many years. He had no idea what the situation in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm was.

nHan Jue immediately replied using telepathy,

"No. Why, senior?

"

nTelepathy was very simple. A Foundation Establishment realm cultivator only needed to grasp some techniques and they would learn it very quickly.

n

"Under our Sect Master's lead, I hid in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm for the past few years. We encountered the Cult attempting to capture the Tiger Heart White Dragon. There was a huge battle, but with the Sect Master with us, we claimed victory without any casualties. Later, the Sect Leader told us that it was only so easy because he had received information from a converted spy in the Cult. That's why he pretended to leave the Sect but hid in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.

n

"The converted spy is Xing Hongxuan. When she was young, the Cult forced her to take some poison, which they used to threaten her to become a spy in the Sect. However, she had always been unwilling and hated it. So, she even tried to steal a recipe from an outer sect alchemist to find an antidote. But that was a naive move. How can pills from an outer sect alchemist work against poison concocted by the Cult?

n

"After that, she decided to leave the Viridescent Nether Cult. But they tried to hunt her down. The Sect Master happened to be investigating spies from the Viridescent Nether Cult and saved her. Because she never harmed the Jade Pure Sect and she contributed in this latest operation to defeat the Cult, the Sect Master allowed her to join the inner sect as a disciple.

"

nHan Jue was flabbergasted by the story. Lucky that he could conceal his emotions.

n

"Xing Hongxuan is currently cultivating with us at the main peak. Her master is Daoist Jingxu. Daoist Jingxu is Sect Master's junior. She's in charge of the main peak and personally guides the core candidates. Previously, when we met Xing Hongxuan, she was asking around about a disciple named Han Jue and told us about their story. Interestingly, the outer sect alchemist previously mentioned has become a disciple of our peak. Even more surprising is that the alchemist had a servant named Han Jue. And we also have a Han Jue here!

n

"Junior Han, what a coincidence!

"

nLiu Sanxin looked at him teasingly.

nHan Jue felt awkward and didn't know how to reply.

nThat woman actually let out everything!

nBut it's fine.

nRight now, he was already an inner sect disciple at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Although those were dark days of his life, they didn't affect him much anymore.

nWith no way out, Han Jue could only admit,

"Alright, I'm the Han Jue she knows. I had no choice then.

"

n

"Haha, I understand. It's just that I didn't expect that you would have such cultivation potential.

"

nLiu Sanxin joked, and Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief.

nHan Jue couldn't help but glance at Elder Iron.

nThey had been using telepathy, so no one could hear their conversation.

nElder Iron had his head lowered and Han Jue couldn't make out his face.

nHan Jue opened his attributes panel and checked his interpersonal relationships.

nXing Hongxuan: Ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm, can become a companion. Current Favorability: 4.5 stars.

nThat woman is close to the Foundation Establishment realm.

nFavorability of 4.5 stars. She was the one with the highest favorability towards him.

nSince you like me so much, I hope you will suffer less in the future.

nHan Jue thought silently.

nHonestly speaking, he couldn't understand why Xing Hongxuan liked him so much.

nJust because I'm good-looking?

nUnparalleled looks?

nWell, sometimes looks are the only thing that matters.

nBut, why did Xing Hongxuan have so much information about the Viridescent Nether Cult? Does she have some other secret identity?

nAt this moment.

nThe doors to the Jade Serene Hall opened and all the disciples stood up to enter.

nAfter sitting down, they all looked towards Fairy Xi Xuan.

nFairy Xi Xuan asked,

"The inner sect assessment is about to begin. Every peak must send at least ten disciples. Who is willing to participate this time?

"

nSix disciples immediately raised their hands, including Chang Yue'er.

nHan Jue found it strange that Fairy Xi Xuan didn't mention anything about the connate cave abode.

nIf it was mentioned, they would probably be fighting to participate.

nIs it some special reward from Fairy Xi Xuan?

nAs he thought, Han Jue raised his hand silently.

nThe disciples were surprised to see that.

n

"Wow, Junior Han is actually participating!

"

n

"Hahaha, I thought he was going to continue his seclusion.

"

n

"That should be the case. Continuing with seclusion will affect his progress.

"

n

"Then, I want to participate too!

"

nSeveral disciples raised their hands, causing the participants to exceed ten.

nHan Jue smiled.

nHe didn't expect to be so influential.

nAlthough he didn't interact much with the other disciples, he frequented the various spiritual pools to cultivate. So, many people knew that there was an extremely handsome young disciple from Jade Serene Peak. When the disciples heard about the rumors going around, they guessed that it was Han Jue.

nOver time, even though Han Jue kept a low profile, there were already rumors about him in the inner sect.

nHe became famous because of his good looks!

nWhen Elder Iron saw how popular Han Jue was, his expression became even more complex.

nHe was still a nobody in the Jade Serene Peak.

nAfter this matter was settled, Fairy Xi Xuan let the disciples leave, leaving Han Jue alone.

nThe disciples looked at Han Jue enviously.

nIt was obvious that Master thought highly of him. He was given special treatment!

nThe doors closed.

nHan Jue looked up at Fairy Xi Xuan.

nHe had to admit that Master was really beautiful.

nHan Jue had been in the inner sect for decades, but he had never seen a female cultivator more beautiful than Fairy Xi Xuan.

nHowever, Fairy Xi Xuan's aura was so powerful that no one dared to profane her.

nHan Jue only exclaimed and didn't have any other thoughts.

nThe disciples are not as good-looking as their master. Seems like the good looks are not being inherited here!

n

"You made progress again. I have underestimated you. Even with three attributes, you're still cultivating at an outstanding pace. You're probably the fastest in the Jade Pure Sect.

" Fairy Xi Xuan narrowed her eyes as she spoke, as if she wanted to see through him.

nShe was really shocked.

nIn just eight short years, Han Jue's other cultivation potentials had both reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. What kind of talent was this?

nMost importantly, she had never taught him.

nShe was very curious where he had obtained such cultivation technique.

n

"I really can't hide anything from you, Master,

" Han Jue replied.

nHis flattery was obvious, but it had little effect.

nFairy Xi Xuan said,

"Your cultivation techniques and sword techniques are all very good, but they aren't the techniques of the Jade Pure Sect. You must have learned it from someone else. I know that you have been diligently cultivating and have no intention of harming the sect. Some people testify that you were born in the outer sect, which means that you ran into a huge opportunity when you were young. But, everyone is destined to run into opportunities of all sorts. So, I won't ask further.

"

n

"For this inner sect assessment, you can demonstrate your strength without any worries. You don't have to be afraid of attracting trouble. I'm still very well respected in the sect.

"

nHan Jue quickly thanked her.

nHe was actually a little worried previously.

nNow, he wasn't afraid anymore.

nHe would use the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique blatantly!

nBased on the relationship between Fairy Xi Xuan and Sect Master, Sect Master probably thought the same of him. Or perhaps, these were Li Qingzi's ideas in the first place.

nThe greater Han Jue's potential, the happier the Jade Pure Sect was.

n

"To avoid unnecessary trouble, from today onwards, you're my personal disciple. I will report this to the sect.

" Fairy Xi Xuan spoke again.

nPersonal disciple!

nHan Jue looked up and was surprised.

nAlthough Fairy Xi Xuan had dozens of disciples under her, most of them were under the sect. The number of personal disciples could be counted on a single hand.

nYour status in the Jade Pure Sect has risen. You have become the personal disciple of a coaching elder. You will obtain a magic manual.

nCongratulations on obtaining Nine Dragons Devil Expelling Seal.

nA line of words appeared in front of Han Jue.

nHe was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked Fairy Xi Xuan.

nFairy Xi Xuan took out a token and threw it to him.

"You may leave.

"

nHan Jue caught it and took a look. It was a jade token with the words

"Xi Xuan

" engraved on it.

nHe put away the jade token, bowed, and left.
