Chapter 1520

Master, why are you thinking so much? You just need to remember one thing: he can provide us with pills, and those pills can make our Luotian White Snake Clan stronger— isn't that enough?

In this world, strength is the only standard; everything else is unimportant.

Once we become strong, all problems cease to be problems; the worries you have, Master, aren't they just due to insufficient strength? When you, Master, advance to the Tribulation Realm, these problems will naturally be resolved; if the first tribulation isn't enough, just keep increasing your strength.

When you, Master, have sufficient strength, all problems will be readily solved.

Bai Xinlan gazed at the earnest Bai Meng before her, and suddenly felt a bit dazed.

Yes, all her worries stem from her lack of confidence and insufficient strength, causing her to overthink; if her strength were sufficient, all problems would cease to be problems.

She overthought and worried too much, which muddled her mind and prevented her from cultivating properly; wouldn't it be fine to think like Bai Meng?

Upon realizing this, Bai Xinlan smiled and said, "Bai Meng, thank you; I've gone astray."

"Master, you'll eventually understand; what you should worry about now isn't Qinglong Daoren but our Luotian White Snake Clan— we've indeed improved these past days, but it's still not enough, not strong enough."

"The Mangshan Demon Palace faces pressure from all sides; if Diewumeng cannot resist, our Luotian White Snake Clan will also suffer."

"We need to quickly boost our strength and exchange for more pills; if Qinglong Daoren's pills are all taken by Diewumeng, we're doomed."

"Pills are limited; Diewumeng has many good things in her hands— the corpse and monster pill of the Five Toxic Fiend General she just obtained were taken for exchange, surely she got many good items; also, that woman earlier went to Tian Du Men, and Bai Meng guesses she likely headed for Tian Du Men's treasury."

"That woman probably succeeded, exchanging for many pills; otherwise, in such a short time, Diewumeng's strength wouldn't have surged so dramatically— this rate of increase is terrifying, impossible to achieve by ordinary gradual cultivation."

"You mean that?" Bai Xinlan had also pondered this issue, unable to think of other reasons, so she remained confused.

Upon hearing Bai Meng's guess, Bai Xinlan was startled, but soon she calmed down.

"Master, Diewumeng is the type who won't act without profit; moreover, she went to Tian Du Men and vanished, only to reappear later— no one knows where she went or what she did during that time."

"She wouldn't do something pointless; thus, the only possibility is that she went to seek something that moved her— aside from Tian Du Men's treasures, I think nothing else could sway her; besides, Tian Du Men was in chaos then, with few noticing her."

"No one could find her, giving her an opportunity; I believe she succeeded and also exchanged many pills from Qinglong Daoren."

Although Bai Meng didn't go, she knows what happened at Tian Du Men and has been watching that side.

As an observer, one can see things more clearly.

On the contrary, Master Bai Xinlan, being an insider, is instead caught up in it and cannot see clearly.

Bai Xinlan fell silent.

She wanted to refute, but couldn't, because Bai Meng's guess was correct, without issue.

"Then she must have many pills in her hands," Bai Xinlan frowned.

"Indeed, Qinglong Daoren's pills were taken in a batch by her; likely many seventh-grade pills, reducing his stock— so if we want to exchange, wouldn't we have less?"

"Perhaps the price will become higher."

Bai Meng's words stirred Bai Xinlan's heart; she knew her disciple spoke the truth.

Then everything makes sense— Diewumeng disappeared for a period; what did she do? What was her purpose?

Upon thinking this through, everything became clear; Bai Xinlan… she finally realized: they had fought bitterly, nearly perishing, while Diewumeng seized the opportunity to gain benefits and even succeeded— this was what pained her most.

"In other words, from beginning to end, we've been schemed by Diewumeng, becoming her pawns?"

Whether it's her, the Black Tigers, or the Mangshan Demon Emperor, or everyone in Tian Du Men, plus the two corpse generals from the Mu Long clan and the Corpse Refining Sect— all were calculated against, and ultimately Diewumeng benefited.

Finally, even the corpse of the Demon Emperor fell into her hands; suddenly, Bai Xinlan fell silent.

She stared at her disciple before her and gave a bitter smile.

She really is too foolish— not even as good as her own disciple.

"Whoo whoo whoo."

After taking a few deep breaths, Bai Xinlan's face flushed; looking at this, she realized she was no match for Bai Meng.

"You saw this earlier?"

Bai Meng shook her head: "Master, I only realized this not long ago."

"Hmm." Bai Xinlan nodded.

After a moment, Bai Xinlan looked at Bai Meng and asked, "Bai Meng, what do you think of Qinglong Daoren?"

Upon hearing, Bai Meng directly said, "Very good— no pretentiousness, lacking the arrogance typical of other demons; my impression is that he's very easy to get along with."

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Nothing, just asking; go attend to your affairs." Bai Xinlan waved her hand, dropping the topic, and let Bai Meng leave first.

"Yes, Master."

Bai Meng turned and left, leaving Bai Xinlan alone sitting there; after a while, she came to her senses.

At some point, someone appeared beside her— Luotian's ancestral elder Bai Qingxu stood nearby, silently observing her.

"Bai Meng feels very positively about that person; perhaps your idea could be tried— this girl is excellent in all respects, clear-minded; even if she marries into Qinglong Daoren, she'd still think of our Luotian White Snake Clan, so there's no need to worry she'd be brainwashed by him and become wholly his."

"Our Luotian White Snake Clan indeed needs to establish a closer relationship with him; we must not let her continue trading with Diewumeng."

"Even if we sacrifice Bai Meng, what of it? As long as we can win over Qinglong Daoren, it's still worth a try."

Bai Xinlan nodded and said, "I naturally know, but Bai Meng is after all my disciple, and I selected her as the future patriarch of our Luotian White Snake Clan; if she marries Qinglong Daoren, she could not become the next clan leader."

"Bai Meng may not be willing, and moreover, the one from Longshe Shan might not agree."

Bai Qingxu waved her hand: "Just go ask and you'll find out; the one from Longshe Shan may not refuse— he needs us, we need him, a marriage alliance would benefit both."

"Besides, this person is quite good, worthy of trust; Bai Meng following him might not be a bad thing."

Bai Xinlan fell silent; as a master, she naturally hopes her disciple Bai Meng finds a good haven, someone she can rely on, without daily anxiety or experiencing constant bloodshed.
