by logic, she didn’t need to be too respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when Jiang Hao met them, he might not show a good face either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed not to be the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they received them very calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which made her feel baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By logic, they shouldn’t recognize Jiang Hao, but their speech felt as though they knew him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was puzzled, but it was not appropriate to ask directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only eat first, very ordinary rice and likewise the dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not as good as those of her childhood, yet somehow different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to carry the taste of home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it wasn’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is your name?” the woman asked, holding her cheeks and looking at the Heavenly Note Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Note Sect.” Heavenly Note Sect spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a nice name, what does your family do?” the woman asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Heavenly Note Sect pondered for a moment and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My father is a businessman, my mother does the accounting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A well-bred young lady.” The woman smiled and added, “Not only pretty but also young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Heavenly Note Sect found it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time she heard such a remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you two married?” the woman asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Heavenly Note Sect nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you meet?” the woman went on to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Jiang Hao had finished the chicken leg and put down his bowl and chopsticks, saying, “I’d like to ask about that too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man lowered his head, lifted his bowl, and slowly began to eat: “Ask whatever you want, I’ll try to answer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did the things on my body come from?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not complicated, have you understood it?” the man asked while picking up a slice of potato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s how they came.” the man said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his words fell, suddenly a foot kicked him under the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potato that he was about to put in his mouth fell back into the bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man picked it up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What enigma are you playing at?” the woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has a certain kind of opportunity on him, arising from casting a wide net,” the man explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he put the potato in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he turned to Jiang Hao and said, “But the one casting the net wasn’t just him; another party also cast theirs over here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, as a parting gift, I have also given you some things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao bowed his head, so his demeanor was a result of Cheng Yun’s methods, but there were actually other people involved as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the life-and-death situation was a gift from this person right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or does it mean the other party also left other things behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, external things are always just that, external. They can only determine one’s lower limits, not one’s upper limits,” the man spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually picked up a chicken leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This he had felt when he was comprehending the Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comprehending the Tao could not rely on external things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be one’s own understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect didn’t know what they were talking about, but she remembered what Mr. Tao had mentioned about opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning Jiang Hao had it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rapid promotion was also somewhat related.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the answer from the other side was not just that there were those things, but also other things left by the person in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Heavenly Note Sect was startled for a moment; the person in front of her seemed not so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao spoke up once again: “Who is the other party?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man slightly smiled: “How did you come into being?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, that’s also part of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reminded him of the ship behind the doorway to the new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Jiang Hao did not ask more about that but began to inquire about the Heavenly Note Sect: “What about us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think it was our doing?” the woman asked, looking at Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mute again? Always being silent, do you know that makes it hard to communicate?” The woman did not indulge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao felt that the person in front of him was not easy to talk to. He then finally said, “Just curious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Note Sect’s hand had paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man took a bite of his meal, and after swallowing, he began to speak: “Sometimes two people are just two lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these lines tend to be parallel, almost with no chance of crossing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, lines are not immutable; in the process of being parallel, there’s always that slim possibility of intersection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What we did was merely to greatly expand this possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To let you understand that at that moment, the future could be clearly altered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to choose, that’s none of our business anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened before or after that is entirely up to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao finally understood why Heavenly Note Sect was able to find him initially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Heavenly Note Sect was also dumbfounded on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was poisoned back then, she indeed felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That very distinct feeling that her fate was about to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, when she had just entered the place, she felt the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered if it was the handiwork of the person in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never heard of anyone with such powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you intervene from here?” Jiang Hao asked after a moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man shook his head: “We can’t intervene anymore, it’s too far away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then can the wound on the Tao be healed?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her?” The man looked towards Heavenly Note Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-03T11:46:51.153Z","2026-06-03T11:46:52.494Z",1,"novelbin.me","78ad1838d551a9f72db727d3c2dd7219cdb126fb7dbb199b5cfe6d66de5b16cf","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-2015","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-2013",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
