However, after seeing many love stories, he guessed there were personal interests involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some people simply got tired and wanted to change partners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feelings and interests are inherently two different things. To put them together was to put a price on the relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of relationship was priceless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything depended on the whim of the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not dare to think about what would happen to the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they are weak, there would always be someone powerful who would measure their worth in terms of money, power, or life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone would always put a price on them because everything was in the hands of the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not the Elder of Azure Mountain, and he did not want to be him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao and thought for a moment. “If you had a Dao partner, in what circumstances would you make the same choice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I had a Dao partner?” Jiang Hao asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Hong Yuye nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao thought for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye wasn’t in a hurry for an answer and just drank her tea quietly. She sat under the now-barren peach tree, with some leaves slowly falling around her. Their striking blackness swaying gently in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight shone down and created a serene atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Jiang Hao’s voice suddenly broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No?” Hong Yuye put down her teacup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded. “I have never thought of finding a Dao partner, but if I ever did, I would be well-prepared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you make ample preparation, would that mean you’ve become strong enough for such a commitment?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye’s gaze was calm. After a pause, she asked, “Then on your path to becoming stronger, as a cultivator with some talent, wouldn’t it be inevitable for you to fall in love with someone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never thought about it. Was it inevitable to fall in love with someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans were not saints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not answer her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped that it would not happen, but sometimes, hope alone was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long hesitation, Jiang Hao lowered his head without answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye did not press further. Jiang Hao continued to make tea and sat quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, they sat facing each other. They sipped the tea and enjoyed the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One looked serene and reflective, while the other was aloof and inscrutable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the breeze blew again, Hong Yuye asked, “You are still very weak, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his cultivation was decent, in the face of the coming Great Era, he was indeed rather ordinary\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a challenge even to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you are so weak, many things will be out of your control. If one day, because of a strong person, you had to become someone’s partner without any emotional foundation, how far would your relationship go?” Hong Yuye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Jiang Hao fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a weak person, he indeed found it hard to oppose the decision of the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered such an unavoidable situation, what would happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want to think about it. For him, just surviving would be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sometimes, it was not about what he wanted, but what others wanted for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feelings were hard to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen heartless people, but he had seen people in love as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of person was he? How would he handle such feelings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not even explain it to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only belief was to become stronger and get out of such predicaments so that others could not get to decide his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he would not face such situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want to test his humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slip, and he could become the kind of person he once despised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know?” Hong Yuye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A relationship involves two people. I can’t predict what would happen,” Jiang Hao said and lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A relationship with a Dao partner was not something he could decide alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye nodded. She thought for a moment and asked, “What kind of person do you think you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question stumped Jiang Hao again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of person was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who just wanted to survive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who did not want to face extreme situations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cautious person who always felt others were dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A turtle who did not dare to leave his sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao lowered his head. “An ordinary person with no grand ambition…” he said with a melancholic face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no lofty goals, no courage to save the world, and would not become famous like others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was so ordinary for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with good luck, he still lived cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would lose to the strong, get hurt, and worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye smiled. “You are quite self-aware.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You actually lack nothing,” Hong Yuye said calmly. She put down her teacup and stood up slowly. “A seventy-year-old late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator isn’t weak at all. The reason you lose and aren’t a match for others is mostly because you are too young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jiang Hao could say anything, Hong Yuye walked to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the Great Era arrives, the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower will emit a Dao fragrance,” she said softly. “In addition, the Longevity Fruit will definitely evolve a Dao Charm. As long as you have enough treasures, they will resonate with the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was surprised. This was a good thing but also very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, many strong people would surely be drawn to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to be cautious and alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Jiang Hao mentioned some other things from the gathering. Hong Yuye seemed indifferent to it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only asked about Disciple Shang An.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-03T11:46:23.390Z","2026-06-03T11:46:29.085Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c65880d1795706160679a679a4a7fc1adb3c8d2e3ab0b78a258fde18842a430","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1303","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1301",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
