They had known each other from when Jiang Hao was nineteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Senior Brother Zheng was in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty years later, he had made it to the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. He was, in fact, at the brink of the middle stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Jiang Hao had been in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm too. He had made it to the middle stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Unknowingly, I came this far…’ Jiang Hao felt like twenty years ago had been just yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty years ago, when we first met, you were only at the early stage of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment Realm. Now you’re already in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm! You’ve surpassed me by a lot,” said Zheng Shijiu. “At that time, I never expected that you’d progress this much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just lucky,” Jiang Hao said modestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is not just luck, Junior Brother Jiang. I think you might have a chance of becoming a top disciple in the future. I wonder if we’ll still do tasks together tnen,” said zneng SIIIJILI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother, you must be joking! Regardless, you are still my senior. I often find myself relying on your strength,” said Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he became a top disciple, he would still address Zheng Shijiu as\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it made him uncomfortable, he wouldn’t do it. But he knew Zheng Shijiu would be okay with it. They had worked together so many times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same with Miao Tinglian and Mu Qi. They treated him well and took care of him. So, he would always address them as “Seniors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Cliff of Broken Hearts, apart from Xiao Li, they were the closest to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t sure if Miao Tinglian was nice to him because he had helped her before, or if she was naturally friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t like it when she pestered him to find a partner, he hadn’t said anything to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin MO, Zhao Qingxue, and Lin Zhi… we recruited them together back then. I never thought we would be doing missions together!” said Zheng Shijiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded. Time really did fly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young disciples who had just joined the sect back then had become so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps one day, they will surpass us all,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha,” Zheng Nineteen said bitterly, “Junior Brother Jiang, please don’t even joke about it. I feel like they won’t be able to surpass you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao did not say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shijiu truly believed that these three couldn’t surpass Jiang Hao. He also thought that Jiang Hao himself had secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sensed something when they had worked together before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he hadn’t paid much attention to it at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things were better left unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three others arrived after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shijiu didn’t mind waiting. He knew Lin Zhi was here because of Jiang\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well-known that Jiang Hao had helped Lin Zhi immensely so that he could stay in the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how would he still be in the sect despite not being able to advance from the Lifeblood Refinement Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he wouldn’t have been selected for sect missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was concerned about Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin MO was a part of the Law Enforcement Hall. He definitely had some connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Lin MO didn’t have a very high cultivation realm, he could still help Lin Zhi through his connections. However, it was quite dangerous for Lin Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao felt helpless. There was nothing he could do except help Lin Zhi become stronger in the coming months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to find the time to give him some magical treasures. He hadn’t met him in so many months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Jiang?” Lin Zhi was surprised to see Jiang Hao. He felt embarrassed. He looked as though he wanted to explain himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao smiled and just nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue greeted them without emotion. “We apologize for the wait, Seniors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Nineteen frowned. It seemed that these two had forgotten about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they lacked basic courtesy too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sect, it wasn’t necessary to be influential, but it was important to make sure one didn’t offend others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, small matters could lead to huge resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they hadn’t recruited these three young people, it wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Jiang Hao and Zheng Shijiu had been among the ones who recruited them, some form of recognition and politeness was expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had made rapid progress and were strong. So, that might protect them. Zheng Shijiu didn’t say anything. He felt that Jiang Hao didn’t mind it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the five flew on their swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin MO led Lin Zhi along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to what they were planning. He would observe them first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For outer sect patrols, there was a place where shifts had to be handed over to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might just be time for the handover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, they arrived at the outpost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was located in the mountains and was surrounded by rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them, there was a stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were some people there in groups of three and five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like they were all waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao walked into the innermost hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in the Primordial Spirit Realm looked at him. “Jiang Hao of the Cliff of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broken Hearts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw your name at the Law Enforcement Hall. It’s quite surprising for you to be assigned to a patrol mission. Which route do you want?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man laughed. “Surprised?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A bit.” Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to be surprised. Perhaps the place you want to go to is the place we need to investigate more,” the middle-aged man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao understood. Jiang Hao was still a suspect. So, whichever route he chose would be monitored closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao chose the safest route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area was not small, but the location was great. It was a place unexposed to outside forces. There were no dangers around. The others there were also from the outer sect, so it should be relatively safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most likely danger would be from spies. After all, many undercover agents had joined the sect and were most likely among the outer sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This area is mostly for the outer sect disciples to rest and cultivate…” The middle-aged man was surprised by Jiang Hao’s choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wouldn’t be many dangers here, but there wouldn’t be any gains either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrol missions were sometimes beneficial because some seniors occasionally gave lectures on cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patrolling was safe and had benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Hao hadn’t chosen any of the good routes. He had chosen the one that was the most ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin MO frowned. “Senior Brother Jiang, can we patrol the public alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were always things happening at the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. If one wanted to learn something from there, they had to pay a small price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This junior has a point.” The middle-aged man laughed. “How about going to the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at Lin MO and shook his head. “Let’s start from here first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then…” The middle-aged man gave Jiang Hao a token. “It’s just the right time for the handover. The token has the patrol route. If anything happens, you can activate the token, and our people will come to find you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded and thanked him. He then led the group away. Lin MO and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingxue seemed reluctant..\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-03T11:46:05.647Z","2026-06-03T11:46:11.341Z",1,"novelbin.me","cddc45dd12cba068d330a4d476118c19ba4fb779dc0e1ec9f7c53b4e050b0ae5","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-891","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-889",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
