"Do you remember it?" Su Luo asked.

Xiaobai nodded: "Thank you sir."

Memories of the past came flooding back, and she accepted her identity.

Su Luo waved his hand and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Xiaobai clenched the jade hairpin in her hand and said softly, "I'm going to go find the Imperial Master again."

"Can you beat him?" Su Luo asked back.

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, then his expression became firm again: "Even if we can't win, we have to go!"

The last time she tried to assassinate the imperial teacher, she failed and almost died, but she was not afraid.

Someone has to do some things, even if she doesn't want to.

For the lives of her brothers and sisters, she could not retreat.

After all, as long as the national teacher is alive, the snake clan will be in danger.

"Then do you think you will be safe if you get rid of it?" Su Luo asked again.

"Of course, if the State Master hadn't been catching snakes for his cultivation, we wouldn't have fought him to the death!" Xiao Bai said loudly, "If we let him go on like this, sooner or later we will all die at his hands!"

Su Luo secretly shook his head, thinking that this white snake had lived for five hundred years and was still so childish.

"Since the Imperial Master and you are in a life-and-death relationship, why doesn't the Snake Mother take action herself?" he asked.

"Master is in charge of a group of snakes and cannot put himself in danger." Xiaobai explained.

"But didn't you say that as long as the Imperial Master is still alive, you will all die at his hands sooner or later?" Su Luo said with a smile, "In that case, it would be more appropriate for her to do it herself, right?"

Xiaobai moved his lips, not knowing how to explain himself.

It's not that she hadn't thought about this, but her master taught them skills, helped them practice, and opened their spiritual wisdom, which was like a rebirth for them, so she could only put aside her doubts and carry out his orders wholeheartedly.

"Besides," Su Luo added, "Snake Mother is not unaware of the strength of the Imperial Master. The chances of your assassination being successful are slim, but why would she let you take the risk?"

"I..." Xiaobai opened his mouth.

Su Luo interrupted: "I'm afraid you know it very well in your heart!"

Xiaobai was silent.

She was not stupid, so she could naturally guess the reason.

She has great talent. Even though she has been practicing for a short time, she has already transformed earlier than those brothers who started practicing earlier.

However, none of the other talented brothers and sisters in the clan are still alive today.

Although the master led them into practicing, it did not mean that they were without any requirements. When facing enemies and external crises, these disciples would rush to the front and have lost countless people.

The reason why she was asked to assassinate the Imperial Master was probably to find out his real strength.

As for her life or death, the master doesn't care.

"Do you know why the Imperial Master catches snakes?" Su Luo asked.

Xiao Bai put away his annoyance and nodded, saying, "The Taiyin True Art that he practices comes from the same source as our snake clan. Killing us can help him improve his cultivation."

Hearing Xiaobai's words, Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong, who were not far away, looked at each other subconsciously.

Both of them are now professional Bosuqu snake breeders in their respective worlds, and their actions are exactly the same as those of the national master.

In front of this snake demon, the two of them couldn't help but feel a strange sense of guilt.

Su Luo noticed the emotions of the two people, glanced at them casually, then looked away and said to Xiao Bai: "Since your skills are from the same source, does the Snake Mother have the same idea?"

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned.

"If she gets rid of the National Master and is no longer a threat, will she think of turning you into her own cultivators like the National Master did?" Su Luo said in a flat tone.

But his words were like thunder in Xiaobai's ears.

Master...

She thought of those fellow disciples who had died in strange ways because they had contradicted or annoyed their master.

Other brothers in the clan would also disappear periodically, saying that they were killed by enemies, but the time of their disappearance was always when the master was in seclusion. After coming out of seclusion, the master's strength would be much stronger.

The master was obviously violent, but he took the initiative to teach them the skills...

Even though she was 70% to 80% convinced in her heart, she still found it hard to accept: "Master would not do this."

Her voice was low and clearly weak.

"Yes." said Su Luo.

Xiaobai subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought of how Su Luo had seen through his past at a glance and said that his future name would be "Bai Suzhen", he suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, she finally accepted it all and asked, "Sir, can you tell me what I should do?"

"It depends on what you think." Su Luo said.

"Me?" Xiaobai was at a loss.

"If you just want to escape from the vortex, then leave alone and find a place where neither the National Master nor the Snake Mother can find you. Practice alone and watch the two fight." Su Luo said.

"If you are worried that your compatriots will be persecuted again," he paused and smiled, "then get rid of them all!"

Xiaobai's expression suddenly became troubled.

She was kind by nature and naturally couldn't stand the Imperial Master's behavior.

For their own selfish interests, they hunted snakes on a large scale, which made it impossible for the people to farm and make their living in misery.

Although She Ermu was her master, after she learned about Su Luo's conspiracy from him and combined it with her own experience, she did not have a good impression of him.

But both of them were too high for her, and even a sneak attack would fail, so how could she get rid of them? Or should she just take Xiaoqing away?

After a while, Xiao Bai finally said, "How did I do it originally?"

“Originally…”

Su Luo did not shy away from asking Xiao Bai and Xu Xuan to explore the treasure Qingfang together, and encountered a green snake and a rattlesnake chasing them...

"The Imperial Master was eliminated, and the Snake Mother's true nature was exposed. She began to refine the snakes. Because you absorbed a lot of power from the jade hairpin, you tried to compete with the Snake Mother, but you were defeated..."

"In the end, Xu Xuan paid the price with his life to help you kill the Snake Mother through the Imperial Master's formation!"

After listening to Su Luo's words, Xiaobai frowned slightly.

She felt like she was listening to a story from a bystander's perspective that had nothing to do with her.

Will that guy named Xu Xuan die? She thought about the conversation she had just had with him.

Although they had only met briefly, she had a good impression of Xu Xuan.

This was a very enthusiastic and kind human being who saved me and took me to the place where I fell to find the jade hairpin.

She was naturally unwilling to cause the other person's death.

She is not the type to repay kindness with enmity.

As for the feelings between the two people mentioned in Su Luo's words, she felt that it was a bit nonsense.

It is against natural ethics for a demon to be with a human, so how could she fall in love with a mortal like that?

“From what Xu Xuan said, it seems that he is longing to practice Taoism. I can give him a martial arts technique as a thank you for saving his life.” Xiaobai thought secretly.

"But how can we get rid of the national teacher... and restrict the master?"

Seeing her frown, Su Luo reminded her: "Since you stepped into the tavern, you have had many choices in your life."

Xiaobai raised his head quickly: "Please give me some advice, sir."
