With Bai Yao's current strength, she is no longer someone that ordinary people can fight against. As soon as she appeared, she blocked the black-clad man's path. Without saying a word, she drew her sword at the black-clad man with murderous intent.
Xiao Yuhan watched the two fight and realized that the man in black was no match for Bai Yao, so he did not intervene.
Bai Yao was filled with malice tonight, or rather, she had been filled with malice ever since she came down from the battlefield. She was decisive and ruthless in her attacks. After exchanging no more than ten blows with the man in black, she stabbed his shoulder with her sword. With a backhand flick, she tore open the flesh on his shoulder, and his entire left arm drooped down. It seemed that he had injured his tendons and bones.
The man in black was also very experienced. He took out a sleeping potion commonly used by martial artists and smashed it. Bai Yao didn't have time to react and was held back for a moment before the man in black turned and fled.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuhan quickly went to Bai Yao's side, then set off the warning fireworks and ordered the people who came to check the situation to search the entire sect and make sure to capture the man in black.
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan came to the girl's side with concern and asked, "Yao'er, are you hurt?"
Bai Yao's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying. She didn't react to Xiao Yuhan's concern, but just shook her head expressionlessly. Xiao Yuhan noticed that Bai Yao was different at this moment. She no longer seemed to have the same expectation in her eyes as before when she saw him. Although it was just a very subtle expression, Xiao Yuhan felt that there was always a sense of emptiness in her eyes.
"Yao'er? What's wrong? You look like you've been crying."
Bai Yao remained expressionless and said softly, "I'm fine."
This cold and aloof demeanor was just like her second senior sister, Shen Huairu. Xiao Yuhan was a little uncomfortable for a moment. This was not like her good little disciple. In the past, she would always look at her with expectation and listen to every word she said very carefully.
Seeing her haggard face, he felt a pang of heartache and reached out to pat her head to comfort her. But the next moment, Bai Yao took a step back and dodged Xiao Yuhan's hand.
Xiao Yuhan then realized something was wrong; something must have happened to the girl, and he felt uneasy.
Bai Yao stared at Xiao Yuhan and said very seriously, "Master! Yao'er is no longer a little girl, please don't touch my head anymore!"
Such an unapproachable demeanor stunned Xiao Yuhan, who awkwardly withdrew his raised hand, feeling inexplicably uneasy. "Yao'er... has someone bullied you? Tell your master, and your master will beat him up for you!"
Hearing Xiao Yuhan's gentle greeting, Bai Yao almost lost her composure, but she calmly replied, "It has nothing to do with Master!"
After saying that, Bai Yao turned and left, her steps quickening as if she wanted to escape this place and escape Xiao Yuhan.
Xiao Yuhan stood there, stunned, not knowing what was wrong. He sighed helplessly, Bai Yao's words echoing in his mind: "It has nothing to do with Master!"
Although it's normal for Xiao Yuhan to have worries now that her disciple has grown up and is a young woman, her distance from her still makes Xiao Yuhan feel a little uncomfortable.
"She was perfectly fine just now... What's wrong with this girl?"
However, Xiao Yuhan did not think about it in detail, only assuming that his disciple had reached the rebellious stage. He thought that this young girl who had just entered the rebellious stage still needed to be handled with care.
"Looks like I need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Yao'er. Sigh... young girls are such a hassle."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan didn't delay any longer. After all, he had just ordered a search of the mountain gate, and the man in black hadn't been found yet. Now someone had sneaked into the Discipline Hall. As an elder of the Discipline Hall, he naturally had to investigate this matter thoroughly. So, after returning to his courtyard, he sent all the disciples out. As for Bai Yao, he didn't call her.
After all, the girl was in a bad mood, and Xiao Yuhan wanted her to rest.
The Heavenly Sword Sect's grand assembly is about to begin, and fellow cultivators from all the immortal sects in the world will come to attend. If something happens at this crucial moment, wouldn't the Heavenly Sword Sect become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan also set off for his senior brother, the sect leader, because someone had set their sights on the dungeon in the back mountain, and he dared not let his guard down.
The dungeon's formation was actually very strong, but ever since he saw the nine-tailed white fox at the Kunlun Immortal Sect, he had started to have doubts. He thought that what he thought was powerful might not be anything in front of truly powerful people.
That night, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect was brightly lit as they searched for the intruders.
