Chapter 1643: line with translation of chapter title

Bai Xinlan jumped up this time, landing in front of Holy Maiden Bai Meng, eyes wide open like copper bells.

Bai Xinlan stared fixedly at the disciple before her, for what the disciple said was too extraordinary, too shocking, making Bai Xinlan unable to believe.

Gurgle. Bai Xinlan choked back a sob, really unable to believe this news, Bai Xinlan grabbed Holy Maiden Bai Meng's shoulder and said firmly: "Bai Meng, are you really telling the truth?"

"This cannot be a joke; how could such a thing be possible?"

Holy Maiden Bai Meng looked expressionlessly at her master, having visited Longshe Shan many times, yet the master had never noticed any clues; each time Holy Maiden Bai Meng was drawn to Qinglong Daoren and failed to carefully observe Longshe Shan's situation, mainly the two women on Longshe Shan—at first Holy Maiden Bai Meng thought they were Qinglong Daoren's women, but later Holy Maiden Bai Meng discovered they were not.

Xinran Zhanglao and Tianlian Zhenren's attitude toward Qinglong Daoren was not that of men and women, a very strange attitude; this time Holy Maiden Bai Meng observed carefully, confirmed this point, and also confirmed Holy Maiden Bai Meng's own inner thought.

Holy Maiden Bai Meng's guess was correct.

"Master, you have been to Longshe Shan so many times, seen Qinglong Daoren so many times, don't you find it strange?"

"Strange?" Bai Xinlan asked doubtfully: "What's there to find strange? Isn't it all the same?"

Holy Maiden Bai Meng laughed and said: "Master, there isn't only Qinglong Daoren on Longshe Shan, right?"

"Not bad, there are two women; aren't those two women his? What's there to find strange?" Bai Xinlan blinked, somewhat puzzled looking at Holy Maiden Bai Meng: "A strong one having two human servants nearby—isn't that normal?"

Many demons like those heavenly gifted human beauties; if they could become one's servants, what a proud thing it would be—to conquer them, then manipulate them; nothing is more delightful than this.

Qinglong Daoren having this idea is indeed normal.

Not only demons, but among humans, those strong ones also do this; otherwise, how could female cultivators be such a rare existence in the cultivation world, also an object of covetousness, their situation very difficult, wanting to rely on themselves to forge a path is not easy.

"Master, have you observed carefully? Those two women are not his, they bear no trace of his aura, and moreover they have no aura of Qinglong Daoren."

When Holy Maiden Bai Meng first saw them, she could tell they were still maidens; then suddenly they both became women—this breakthrough was very important, Holy Maiden Bai Meng saw it all; at first Holy Maiden Bai Meng thought their man was Qinglong Daoren, but this time Holy Maiden Bai Meng went and deliberately observed them, discovering they were not.

"What do you mean?" Bai Xinlan's pupils widened, gradually realizing something was off.

At Bai Xinlan's level of cultivation, once a small matter is spoken aloud, it naturally becomes clear.

"Not bad, since their man is not Qinglong Daoren, then there must be someone else; on Longshe Shan, besides Qinglong Daoren, are there any other men?"

"There is another; wasn't it said that a white deer demon beast entered Longshe Shan?" Bai Xinlan recalled the White Deer King, the White Deer King is also male, his—...

"Before he arrived at Longshe Shan, those two women had already become women; it couldn't be him." Holy Maiden Bai Meng analyzed: "That white deer demon beast has been in seclusion; his status is not comparable to Qinglong Daoren, nor even to those two women; Xinran Zhanglao and the others would never devote themselves to him."

"Then there is only one possibility: their man is someone else, and this person is very likely the true master of Longshe Shan; otherwise, relying solely on Qinglong Daoren, how could one protect Longshe Shan and make the Tian Du Dragon King and the Mangshan Demon Emperor retreat?"

"Master, the Tian Du Dragon King is so overbearing, so proud; do you think he would give you face?"

Bai Xinlan shook her head; it's impossible—when Bai Xinlan saw the Tian Du Dragon King, she could only obediently lower her head in salute, not daring to be negligent or presumptuous.

Even if Ancestor Bai Qingshuang saw the Tian Du Dragon King, Ancestor Bai Qingshuang would have to lower stance.

What does Longshe Shan rely on to trade with the Tian Du Dragon King?

Relying on Qinglong Daoren being a pill refiner? If the Tian Du Dragon King wanted, the Tian Du Dragon King could simply capture him and take him back to Tian Du Men to refine pills; why give him so many benefits and still demand he refine pills?

According to Bai Xinlan's nature, when facing a weakling, if the other party does not cooperate, the only recourse is to act.

Suddenly, Bai Xinlan understood somewhat.

"Hiss."

Bai Xinlan drew a sharp breath and said: "In other words, we have never…… seen the master of Longshe Shan?"

"Not bad, the master of Longshe Shan is someone else; Master, everything Qinglong Daoren does is also for him."

"That person hides behind the scenes, hidden so deeply that even the Tian Du Dragon King fears them; what do you say their purpose is?"

"Such a person bears no hostility toward our Luotian White Snake Clan; if we could ally with them, the benefits would be many; Master, do you still not understand?"

Holy Maiden Bai Meng is not only doing this for the so-called remuneration; what Holy Maiden Bai Meng wants is to bind herself with that person behind the scenes, becoming a community that shares honor and suffers loss together; in this way, the Luotian White Snake Clan will surpass the strongest posture in history and again dominate Cangzhou and even other provinces.

This opportunity must not be missed.

The sole opportunity—what's wrong with paying some price for it?

"Master, are you still resisting now?" Holy Maiden Bai Meng gazed at the master, inquiring into the master's heart.

Bai Xinlan fell silent, mind in turmoil, not knowing how to answer this question.

It's a complete mess; truly not knowing what to do.

Holy Maiden Bai Meng turned around, facing the ancestor Bai Qingshuang who appeared behind, and said: "Ancestor, you have heard all this; what do you think of the disciple's proposal?"

Bai Qingshuang had come early, secretly listening to their conversation; Holy Maiden Bai Meng knew Bai Qingshuang was nearby, those words were also deliberately told to Bai Qingshuang; since the master's side cannot explain clearly, let Bai Qingshuang follow the master and speak.

"Are you saying all of this is true? Bai Meng." Bai Qingshuang inquired.

This news was too shocking; Bai Qingshuang was also frightened; if the person to be bound is indeed that formidable, they would not lose out.

"Ancestor, what the disciple said is all true; the disciple could not have been mistaken, nor could the disciple have guessed wrong." Holy Maiden Bai Meng answered confidently, tone leaving no room for doubt.

This matter is ninety-nine percent true; Holy Maiden Bai Meng will not doubt Holy Maiden Bai Meng's judgment.

"If what you say is true, then we indeed need to reconsider Longshe Shan and reconsider Qinglong Daoren." Bai Qingshuang said solemnly.

This matter is not a small thing; it concerns the future of the Luotian White Snake Clan; one cannot act rashly, but must think deeply and carefully.
