Bai Cang stared at Sun Hongbo with an unfriendly expression, his eyes flashing with a dangerous aura.
Is there a problem with the "white bones reflecting the heart" mirror? No.
Did Sun Hongbo use the "White Bone Mirror" to examine Bai Cang's qualifications and find any problems? No.
However, if one investigates secretly, and then considers the traditions of the Sanyin Temple and the style of the Sanyin Temple Master, then there is a serious problem.
Who knows, Bai Cang may have already been on the verge of death, almost becoming sworn brothers with the Five Masters? He's practically stepped into the "corpse-refining pit."
However, Bai Cang didn't really intend to do anything to the other party.
After all, the old man had been quite good to him and had provided a tiny bit of help for his "rise".
Without the convenience and protection provided by Sun Hongbo, as well as the "Qingnang Medicine Classic", "Xiaozhutian Qi-She Dan Classic" and many other assistance,
Bai Cang's upgrade speed is conservatively estimated to be at least ten times slower.
Putting everything else aside, that "Golden Light Talisman" alone played a very important role in his assassination of the Five Witches Master.
If it weren't for the Five Witches Mage, the "first mini-boss" in the beginner village, who gave me my "first pot of gold."
It's unlikely that Bai Cang will enter the Daoist path and practice Qi cultivation now.
Therefore, based on this point alone, he cannot "repay kindness with enmity".
However, it's still necessary to scare the old man to get more secrets and information.
Upon seeing this, Sun Hongbo's expression froze, and a deep sense of regret arose in his heart.
Why can't I control this damn mouth of mine?
Well, now that my "good apprentice" who was about to take off has instantly become my enemy.
However, Sun Hongbo is indeed a kindred spirit (birds of a feather flock together) with Bai Cang, and he is known for his "unjustified but righteous" attitude.
"This is what the abbot ordered. Every talented disciple must be investigated. How could I dare to disobey? How could I not do as he instructed?"
Sun Hongbo immediately used the "blame-shifting tactic," and then very bluntly said, "Besides, at that time, I didn't know you had such monstrous talent."
"If you were in that situation, with the abbot on one side and someone you'd only recently met on the other, what would you choose?"
What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
Bai Cang thought to himself, but he didn't have the childish idea that "everyone under heaven is my mother".
Honestly, since they were not related, Sun Hongbo's choice was understandable.
However, understanding does not mean acceptance, so Bai Cang simply looked at the other party coldly.
Seeing that the "frank confession" approach was ineffective, Sun Hongbo decisively changed his strategy, saying, "I admit that I did have selfish motives, but after formally accepting you as my apprentice, I have no regrets about how I treated you well."
"If you feel you can't get over that hurdle in your heart, then our master-disciple relationship can be severed, and I will have no objection."
The unspoken message was: at worst, we'll call it even, don't be impulsive.
You are still young, please don't go down the path of crime.
Seeing how "Master Sun" admitted defeat with such backbone, never forgetting to uphold the dignity of a teacher, he can truly be described as "unyielding and incorruptible".
Bai Cang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Master, what are you saying? We are a loving master and a filial disciple. How could I possibly have such a disrespectful thought?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbo let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head away with feigned arrogance, and subtly wiped away a bead of cold sweat.
Damn it! Luckily, he still had some principles and wasn't corrupted by the Heshan Road, that big dye vat.
Otherwise, today's "teacher's kindness and filial piety" might just turn into a traditional art and recurring performance of Heshan Road: betraying one's teacher and ancestors!
"It was indeed my fault in this matter; I shouldn't have taken the abbot's instructions so seriously."
Seeing that Bai Cang had taken the initiative to let the matter go, Sun Hongbo said somewhat embarrassedly, "That's just how the Heshan Dao sect is. You should be more wary of the abbot and other immortal masters of the Heshan Dao in the future."
Sun Hongbo sold the Three Yin Temple Master without any psychological pressure.
How much salary do I get from you in a month?
We've been eating your food for almost twenty years, always "paying to work," so why should we continue to work for you?
If I have to work for a "celestial master," wouldn't it be better to be the "good disciple" that I personally trained?
“Master’s teachings are correct, I understand.”
Bai Cang keenly sensed the change in Sun Hongbo's attitude. On the surface, he became even more respectful, but he still asked without any politeness, "I wonder what the abbot's reaction is this time?"
As the saying goes, the closest relationship between master and disciple is no more than that between father and son.
Even between blood-related fathers and sons, when the father grows old and needs his son's support, he will unknowingly lose his voice and need to consider and "respect" his son's opinions.
If this is the case between biological fathers and sons, how much more so between teachers and students?
Therefore, it's hard to say that Bai Cang's sudden attack wasn't motivated by a desire to seize control of the master-disciple relationship.
After all, for Bai Cang, it was indeed very necessary to support a "proxy" in the upper echelons of the Sanyin Temple, or even to plant a "spy" next to the head of the Sanyin Temple, when it was inconvenient for him to expose himself.
And Sun Hongbo is the best candidate!
This is one of the real reasons why Bai Cang didn't hide his abilities this time, but instead couldn't wait to "show off" and "expose" himself.
After all, he needs to continue cultivating, and he will inevitably have to find ways to obtain spiritual objects and other cultivation resources.
Sun Hongbo is the best "agent" and the only safe channel.
"If it weren't for Han Tao's death, and the abbot's concern about how the inspector would react, this matter would never have passed so easily."
Sun Hongbo sighed, but quickly got into character and recounted everything he had seen and heard to Bai Cang.
This includes the temperament and style of the master of the Three Yin Temple, as well as many secrets about the higher-ups of the Three Yin Temple, the changes in the Tiger Subduing Altar, and even the Red Dragon Temple.
"In that case, killing Han Tao was a brilliant move!"
Bai Cang gently stroked his smooth chin, "I just don't know if those seven patrol envoys will trace it back to me."
Every gift of fate comes with a hidden price.
Bai Cang has never regretted attacking and killing Han Tao.
If he doesn't do this, that fellow will bring him big trouble sooner or later, and may even lead to his death.
Even if it happened a billion times, Bai Cang felt that his choice would not change.
However, once they are investigated, the current "convenience" will turn into a backlash.
Even the abbot of the Three Yin Temple was so anxious and fearful, let alone himself.
Judging from Sun Hongbo's description, that Seventh Route Inspector was not an easy person to deal with, and might not even have any solid evidence.
If one were to act on their own judgment, it could very well lead to serious trouble.
Although Bai Cang was flustered, he did not lose his composure.
As the saying goes: when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. When problems arise, we should find ways to solve them.
If you can't solve the problem, then find a way to deal with the person who raised it.
If none of these solutions work, then we can simply "collapse and retreat" or "never underestimate the potential of the young."
However, based on the information provided by Sun Hongbo, Bai Cang did not believe that the worst-case scenario would occur.
"However, the pace of upgrading still needs to be accelerated. We must acquire stronger capabilities to deal with potential crises more calmly."
Bai Cang thought to himself, but Sun Hongbo said with a serious expression, "You still have the mind to joke?"
"This matter must never be mentioned again. We must all keep it buried in our hearts and not utter a single word."
Unconsciously, Sun Hongbo's "respect for teachers" began to occupy his high ground again.
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang raised an eyebrow and immediately said seriously, "Master, there is something I really need your help with!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongbo's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that they want to use my head for something?
Did I speak too loudly just now? Did I not pay attention to my tone?
Is it too late to kowtow to my "good disciple" now?
[I'm desperately seeking free gifts. I'm completely heartbroken and desperately need some encouragement to keep going. Please!]
