"Xue'er!"
Seeing Mu Lingxue's arrogance, Mu Gan couldn't help but let out a low shout.
"They are all young friends from the Falling Sea Sect, responsible for protecting our White Deer Town. What kind of behavior is this?!"
"Hmph, so what if it's the Falling Sea Sect?" Mu Lingxue didn't give them any face, turning her pretty face away with a cold expression.
It seems that Mu Lingxue has quite a lot of opinions about the Luohai Sect.
It might be because of the outcome of Su Yuewan's brain falling into the Sea Sect last time, but Bai Hao didn't care.
The people of the Divine Sea Sect hate the Falling Sea Sect just like the people of the Falling Sea Sect hate the people of the Divine Sea Sect. There's nothing to care about.
"Old Mu, as you can see, we probably won't get along with your granddaughter. We're afraid there will be conflicts if we patrol together," Bai Hao said.
Although she is a beautiful woman, she is absolutely resolute when it comes to matters of principle!
He absolutely will not tolerate any traitors in his team!
“Young friend, Xue’er may have a bit of a temper, but she’s kind-hearted. Don’t worry, you’ll still have absolute authority during her patrol. If she dares to disobey or cause trouble, feel free to teach her a lesson without hesitation,” Mu Gan said.
Mu Lingxue, standing to the side, scoffed coldly, "Him? It's hard to say who will teach whom a lesson."
"Do you still want to go or not!" This time, Mu Gan finally shouted, "If you don't listen to me, don't ever come back!"
He was clearly angry.
Seeing this, Mu Lingxue finally became a little scared. She quickly shook Mu Gan's arm and whispered, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Grandpa, I'll go if you tell me to."
After she begged for mercy, Mu Gan's expression gradually softened, and a smile returned to his face. He said to Bai Hao, "Young friend, don't worry. If Xue'er behaves rudely during the operation, you can tell me, and I will teach her a lesson."
Since he had already said that, it would be impolite for Bai Hao to refuse again, so he had no choice but to agree, nodding and saying, "No, I believe Miss Xue'er will be very polite."
As he spoke, he gave Mu Lingxue a provocative look. The latter, in turn, glared at him fiercely and without any politeness.
"In that case, I'll trouble you three young friends. I'll have someone take you to the place where the monster once touched."
Mu Gan stood up, and the others quickly followed suit, leaving together.
...
The monsters weren't active around Bailu Town, but rather on a small hill near Bailu Town.
This mountain separates the farming areas of the people of Bailu Town from the rest of the town. On the other side of the mountain are farmlands, essential for farming.
For ordinary people, farming remains the primary source of food, and the residents of Bailu Town are no exception.
The mountain lies between the two places, not too far apart, and not too high either; it's a place that can be climbed directly. But if a monster were to appear on this mountain, their path would be completely blocked.
Although there are other routes to bypass it, those would be too far and would negatively impact their farming.
Therefore, it is essential to drive away the lion monster on the mountain.
"Everyone, the mountain ahead is where the monster first appeared. I won't go beyond the river," said one of the farmers leading the way.
He was just an ordinary person with no cultivation, so he only dared to take them to the foot of the mountain.
"Okay, thank you. You can go back now," Bai Hao said with a faint smile.
The man immediately ran away.
Then only Bai Hao and two others remained, plus Mu Lingxue, making a total of four people.
"Hey, what's your name?" Before they even reached the top of the mountain, Mu Lingxue suddenly asked Bai Hao.
"...Bai Hao."
"So you're the senior disciple of the Falling Sea Sect." Upon hearing this name, Mu Lingxue was clearly surprised, never expecting that the lecherous man in front of her was actually the eldest disciple of the Falling Sea Sect.
However, her surprise quickly turned into mockery: "A dignified senior disciple, and you only have this much cultivation? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Bai Hao simply shrugged at her sarcasm and said, "It doesn't matter. Although I'm not strong, it's enough that our sect leader is strong enough."
In critical moments, Su Yuewan can still step in to keep things under control.
"How can a sect rise up if it only has one sect leader?" Mu Lingxue continued to mock, unconvinced.
"Who says a sect leader can't lead them? Haven't you heard the saying 'to catch a thief, first catch the king'? As long as our sect leader takes down all the other sect leaders, then you so-called disciples are nothing but a rabble that will scatter at the slightest provocation."
When it comes to verbal sparring, Bai Hao never admits defeat.
He doesn't have to pay to brag, and since he's not bragging about himself, he can brag as much as he can.
"Hmph, all you can do is bring up your sect leader. But it doesn't matter, the demonic beasts on the mountain are all in the Body Tempering stage. I want to see if you have the ability or if you'll tuck your tails between your legs and run away in a panic."
Mu Lingxue didn't want to argue with Bai Hao here, so she snorted and strode up the mountain with her long legs.
"Brother Bai, these are all monsters in the Body Tempering stage. Should we ask for reinforcements?" Fan Ziming, who was standing to the side, obviously believed Mu Lingxue's words and was a little worried.
Although Zheng Long didn't speak, there was some hesitation on his face.
If they were all demonic beasts in the Body Tempering stage, the three of them might not be enough to fight them.
"You two are scared by that woman? Where did all these Body Tempering stage demonic beasts come from? Besides, where are we going to get any reinforcements from the sect? You two are the sect's top combat force." Bai Hao glared at them. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and follow them. We can't let a woman look down on us!"
Bai Haoxiong followed after him with a proud and arrogant air.
Seeing his certainty, Fan Ziming and Zheng Long exchanged a glance and could only follow...
...
Luohai Sect.
Thousand Spirit Peak.
Su Yuewan was painting in the courtyard, depicting a beautiful scene of peach blossoms.
But no matter what she did today, she couldn't draw it. She felt like something was missing.
"Bai Hao!" she called out instinctively, but the courtyard was empty and there was no one there. Bai Hao, who was usually standing to the side at this time, was not here.
"Where did that guy run off to again?!"
Su Yuewan immediately threw down her brush and prepared to confront Bai Hao.
At this moment, the Grand Elder, who had heard the commotion, rushed over and hurriedly bowed, asking, "Sect Master, what's wrong?"
"Why is it you? Where did Bai Hao go?" Su Yuewan frowned.
"Sect Master, Bai Hao has already gone to Bailu Town to help drive away the demonic beasts, don't you remember?" the First Elder reminded him.
Su Yuewan then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
But she suddenly frowned and asked:
"How could there be demonic beasts appearing in White Deer Town? Didn't the Divine Sea Sect drive away all the demonic beasts in the vicinity long ago?"
"This... I don't know. Mu Gan said that demonic beasts have appeared around Bailu Town, so I renew the agreement I made a hundred years ago with them," the elder said respectfully.
"Something's strange... Never mind, you can tidy up the things on the table for me, and I, the sect leader, will go there myself!"
