Sect Master Xian exhaled and rubbed the space between his brows. This whole story … Even when taking all those useless details out, it was one of the most bizarre things he had heard in a while.

Anyway, there finally was a new clue on what had happened to the cultivator Hong Ai. He didn’t believe for a single moment that she had really met a man and married. This part was likely something that somebody had wanted this young girl here to believe. No, it was much more likely that the person her sister had encountered had had something to do with the demonic beasts.

Most people didn’t know about this but if the level was high enough, then demonic beasts could take on human form. In that regard, it truly showed that they originated from the demon realm. After all, the demons were exactly the same. They looked like humans but they weren’t. No, that was just one of the things that made these vile creatures so dangerous. They were able to pretend to be something they weren’t, making people let down their guard so that they couldn’t realize their sinister plans.

"So it was actually like that. That is really very mysterious."

Hong Bao nodded and turned to look at Liu Cheng. She didn’t really know what she should do now that she had told the story and hoped that he would give her some clue.

Liu Cheng gave her a reassuring smile and turned to his Master. "Master, Hong Bao can’t remember what happened in the time at the capital and she must have experienced something in the time since her sister vanished that she doesn’t know about either. And now, her sister isn’t detectable and her mother was killed by the demonic beasts. The village also seems to have disappeared. I don’t think we can just let her go."

Xian Xun nodded his head. Indeed, they definitely couldn’t let this girl go. For one, she had brought them some valuable information so she should be rewarded for that and secondly, she really wouldn’t be able to survive on her own out there. After all, it was likely that the demons would attack her. Who knew if she might have found out something she shouldn’t? "Well, in that case, how about staying at our Chun Feng Sect? We are a sect of demon hunters that has made it their task to kill all the demons and demonic beasts that set foot into the human realm. Maybe you’d even like to join us as a disciple and make sure that others won’t have to suffer like your family?"

Hong Bao’s eyes sparkled. She could join the sect as a disciple? So she would be able to stay here and spend all her days with Liu Cheng?! How great! "Yes, I’ll gladly do that!" She turned back to Liu Cheng, smiling brightly and even reaching out to grab his arm. "Did you hear that? I can stay here!"

Liu Cheng’s cheeks reddened and he awkwardly cleared his throat. "Uh … That’s great." He didn’t know what else to say and could only turn back to his Master. "Master … Then who will she train under?" After running into her twice and knowing just what she had gone through, he couldn’t help but feel that it would be wrong not to care for her. This had to be fate!

Sect Master Xian looked at his disciple’s expression and couldn’t help but raise his brows. It seemed Liu Cheng had some sort of feelings for this girl? He wouldn’t have expected that but, well, why shouldn’t he let it happen? If she became a disciple of the sect, then that wouldn’t make any problems. Even if she didn’t, there would still be ways to arrange things. Well, that wasn’t important for now.

"Well, Hong Bao, how about becoming my disciple? You see, Liu Cheng here is already my disciple and since the two of you know each other, it might be beneficial if you are studying under the same Master. If I’m not around to help you, then you could always go and ask Liu Cheng for help. He knows how I’m doing things and has often helped me with some of my other disciples, so you’ll be in capable hands."

Naturally, Hong Bao didn’t need to be asked twice. She brightly at Liu Cheng, before turning to nod at Sect Master Xian profusely. "Alright! Then I’ll be your disciple from now on."

Xian Xun couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed things would be getting interesting from now on. Well, he still couldn’t help but be a little worried when he saw how she behaved. This kind of person … Would she really be able to meet the requirements of their Chun Feng Sect? He certainly couldn’t let a disciple that wasn’t able to defend themselves out there when the task they had was to hunt demons. No, he would have to make sure that this girl learned a lot before he let her leave. Otherwise, this would end in disaster.

The Sect Master let her pour a cup of tea to have her officially become his disciple and then made her leave with Liu Cheng so she could be settled in the sect.

Hong Bao didn’t seem to find anything strange in how things had gone. Meeting a handsome man and then being able to become part of the same sect as him, that just had to be good luck she accumulated in her past life! Or maybe this was the reason the people from Heaven hadn’t come to get her. Maybe they had actually seen that Liu Cheng was around and thought that it would be much better for her to stay and become his wife than to go to Heaven where she would be alone. Ah, in that case, she would forgive them for how they had treated her! There was nothing more important than finding a good husband! That was what her mother had always told her and her sister had thought the same. So this was definitely what she should do.

If a certain someone in the Nine Heavens could have heard Hong Bao’s thoughts, he probably would’ve broken out in cold sweat. This girl … She was probably about to make trouble once again.
