"Old acquaintances? How could your old acquaintances be with this Holy Maiden? Let bygones be bygones, but now that I have my master, I won't be as easy to talk to as before. I haven't even asked yet, how do you possess death energy, and what is your connection with Rhodes or the evil god? And how do you know the Nine Heavens Sword Technique?"
Although she felt that the two were harmless, she had not forgotten the aura she had detected on them.
Upon hearing An Ge's words, Yi Wenbai froze. He rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard. The Holy Maiden called Xiao Shangzi "Master?"
Tao Le gaped in surprise. This was the legendary Chosen One who almost killed Rhodes! "Stop digging! You heard me right. Haha, this is a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple."
An Ge said irritably, "Stop trying to get close to me. If you don't explain yourself clearly, this Holy Maiden will beat you into pig heads."
Tao Le looked at Yi Wenbai and accused him with her eyes, "Your grand-disciple is too fierce."
"Children speak without thinking, children speak without thinking. Master, please don't take it to heart." Jiang Shang was startled and, realizing there was a misunderstanding between the two, quickly smoothed things over.
The wind was so strong that An Ge found the sound particularly piercing in the quiet setting. "Master, him, Master?"
Jiang Shang nodded, then pulled the puppet-like An Ge and said to Yi Wenbai, "Master, this is your dear grand-disciple. There must have been a misunderstanding before, but now that it's cleared up."
Compared to An Ge's absent-mindedness, Yi Wenbai was overjoyed after his initial shock. So this was his grand-disciple! No wonder he was so strong, so talented, and so... well, his temper wasn't exactly good!
An Ge snapped out of her daze and immediately put on a fawning smile. "So it's you, Grandmaster! No wonder I felt so close to you the moment I saw you. We're from the same sect, after all. Our swordsmanship is the same. We're really destined to be together."
"If I remember correctly, you came in calling yourself 'Grandma' right off the bat and said you'd blast us to smithereens. Is that what you call friendly?"
"I sensed death energy emanating from you and initially thought you were evil gods, which is why I didn't address you as grandson... cough, that was because I was too angry. But later I realized that my master wasn't an evil god at all, since followers of evil gods couldn't possibly possess such pure spiritual power. Besides, I even held back when I fought you..." An Ge's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, finally revealing a fawning smile.
Tao Le, always eager for drama, asked, "Humble? Low-key? Filial? Is Sect Leader Xun Kuang referring to this little girl?"
"Yes, right?" Yi Wenbai also recalled Xun Kuang's words praising An Ge. He had also mentally shaped the image of his grand-disciple, but the real grand-disciple seemed to be a little different. It has to be said that this kind of grand-disciple suited his temperament better.
"Master also said that Grandmaster is steady and composed, but he was quite crazy when he was fighting just now," An Ge said, impressed, but then regretted it. Sigh, the side effects of the disguise potion were too great; if it were her past self, she definitely wouldn't have been so impulsive.
It took Jiang Shang a while to understand the root of the misunderstanding between the two. He glanced at An Ge with some annoyance. This girl wasn't such an impulsive person before.
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Jiang Shang finally asked about An Ge's experiences.
An Ge recounted how she courted death and became a saintess, ending with a mournful face, "Master, your disciple was forced into a sale by the Demon God. We can't just ignore these demons, can we? Although demons are warlike, most of them are still quite adorable."
As representatives of the righteous cultivation world, this was the first time Jiang Shang and Yi Wenbai had ever heard anyone say that demons were cute.
"Are you sure you're not having this thought because of the disguise drug?"
“A disguise potion isn’t a brain-depressing potion.” After saying that, she was met with a distrustful look from Jiang Shang.
An Ge choked, admitting that her personality had changed under the disguise drug, but this change was merely putting her thoughts into action; her ideas themselves would not change.
"By the way, Grandmaster, you haven't mentioned the matter of death energy yet."
Yi Wenbo then told An Ge about how he had accidentally wandered outside the Holy Tower out of boredom and then witnessed the Demon General trying to destroy the Holy Tower with death energy.
"As expected, the other side couldn't resist making a move. It's a pity that the Demon General's soul was scattered, otherwise we could have gotten some information from him. Oh, I'm not blaming my grandmaster, but we really shouldn't have been lenient towards the evil god and his followers," An Ge quickly added.
Yi Wenbai shook his head and smiled. "You little girl, you're so glib. It's also my fault. The people of the Divine Realm deeply hate the Evil God. When they see a follower of the Evil God, their first reaction is to eliminate him. I was impulsive. However, the power of the Evil God is not as simple as you think. It seems to have become active again in the last ten thousand years. I have never heard of the so-called Demon God in the Divine Realm, which is why I thought you were related to the Evil God."
An Ge nodded. From her master's perspective, she could understand why he had doubts about his actions.
"By the way, Grandmaster, I was just about to ask you about the Divine Realm. Rhodes's actions are clearly those of an evil god. Doesn't the Divine Realm Alliance care?"
Yi Wenbai sighed, "You've probably guessed some of it. The Divine Realm's attitude towards the mortal realm is not equal. In the eyes of many gods, it's just about destroying the beings in a small plane."
Guessing is one thing, but when An Ge confirmed this with his master, he was still furious.
"However, not all gods are like that, but the divine realm has been peaceful for too many years, and most gods don't want any changes. Unless it's a critical moment, they're still dreaming of a peaceful and carefree life." Yi Wenbai said, his tone somewhat disdainful.
An Ge could understand this situation. Immortals have exceptionally long lifespans, and without the pressure of a long lifespan, and with the divine realm peaceful and stable, they gradually lost their sense of crisis.
Thinking of this, An Ge suddenly became vigilant. In the future, she would also become one of them, and given her lazy nature, she couldn't afford to lose her vigilance and humanity like them.
Indeed, in An Ge's view, disregarding the lives of people across the entire plane is an inhuman act.
Her conversation with Yi Wenbai gave An Ge a deeper understanding of the Divine Realm. It was precisely because she knew so much that she felt even less longing for it.
Although her master said that he was not well-informed in the Divine Realm and only had a superficial understanding of many things, An Ge did not believe it at all. In her opinion, her master was being too modest.
Yi Wenbai, who was considered modest for speaking the truth, was also somewhat helpless. If the divine realm were compared to the mortal world, he and Tao Le would probably be poor households in a small town in the mortal world. Apart from the well-known news, they had no access to anything else.
"We'll talk about the Divine Realm later. You should deal with this mess with the Demon Clan first. I think the Demon Clan still trusts you quite a bit, so Hu Jiu and I won't have to worry about going to the Divine Realm anymore. Don't worry, we won't go to the Divine Realm until we eliminate the evil god behind the Demon Clan." Jiang Shang said with some concern, looking at An Ge's anxious brows.
