When Zhou Bai asked this question, Lin Muqing also became serious and wrote with a pen, "I will report this matter to the Sect Hierarch. However, you need not worry, the Sky Flipping Sect never harms any humans, that is just slander from the Heavenly Court. We will collaborate with you, on the premise of obtaining your consent."
Zhou Bai nodded, tentatively believing the other party’s response.
Lin Muqing continued writing, "Actually, our side, as well as the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Court, all have methods to search for the 64 hexagrams, but none are as convenient as your ability."
Zhou Bai, "I see. Do you have any other questions? I have none for today."
"I have one last question," Lin Muqing said. "Would you be willing to cooperate with us to save humanity?"
"Saving humanity sounds like a heavy responsibility, but I am definitely willing to eliminate some Heavenly Demons," Zhou Bai wrote in his notebook with his Primordial Spirit power, "I will, on a voluntary basis, appropriately coordinate with some of your actions."
At this moment, Zhou Bai and Lin Muqing finally established some basic trust between them, and both felt somewhat relaxed.
Lin Muqing smiled and said, "Then, Zhou Bai, I’ll continue to pretend to seduce you in the future, and you can pretend to fall for it. This will make it easier for me to deal with the Night Army."
Zhou Bai, "Is that okay? Won’t it cause trouble for your identity as a teacher?"
Lin Muqing chuckled, "That’s why we must pretend as clandestine lovers, and keep it hidden from other students while letting only the Night Army perceive that we’re a couple."
While hearing the noise in his mind from Christina, Zhou Bai felt it was better not to get too involved with Lin Muqing and the Sky Flipping Sect, so he said, "Let’s forget it then, we should just exchange information."
Lin Muqing shrugged, "Zhou Bai, you really know how to kill the mood. Well, nevermind then."
Zhou Bai said, "Hereafter, at this time every half-month, we can exchange information. Of course, using this notebook." Besides verifying the authenticity of the information, another reason was that Zhou Bai wanted to recharge the notebook to avoid it malfunctioning and raising suspicions on him.
Lin Muqing nodded, "Of course, that’s no problem. But occasionally during the day, we could still have meals and take walks together, right? I need to explain this to Fang Mo."
Zhou Bai nodded, then casually chatted with Lin Muqing for a few more moments before he left but mentioned something unusual about Xiaopei.
"To be honest, outside Xiaopei’s dormitory building, I thought I saw the Heavenly Demon speaking with someone," Zhou Bai warned. "You need to be careful, there may be a spy of the Heavenly Demon in that building."
Lin Muqing’s eyes flickered, "Thank you for your warning, I will be cautious."
Watching Zhou Bai leave, Lin Muqing suddenly said, "Zhou Bai, on the day we last agreed to meet, you were following me, right? The thing with the flash warning, were you trying to save me?"
Zhou Bai wrote in the notebook, "Yes. Be cautious around Xiaopei."
Lin Muqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking to herself, ’Saving me? Not Xiaopei? ’Be cautious around Xiaopei’ sounds very much like the Hierarch’s warning. What else does Zhou Bai know? It looks like I need to use the Night Army’s resources to continue investigating Xiaopei.’
Zhou Bai, looking at Christina in his sea of consciousness, said, "Are you alright, Tina? Is it very painful?"
Christina huffed, "It hurts like hell!"
Zhou Bai, "When we get back, I’ll bandage you up. If that doesn’t work, try taking some pills. You can take pills, right?"
Christina, "Of course I can!"
...
A few days later, it was finally time for Zhou Bai to head to the Great Elder for training in the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword Technique.
But this time, there was another person joining him on the road.
Zhou Bai glanced at Zheng Wentian beside him and asked, "Teacher, is he also going?"
Ying Hui nodded, not saying much. In fact, one of Zheng Wentian’s main purposes in coming to the Eastern Dao School was to train in the Twilight Taoist Skill of Qingtian Dao Sect.
This was one of the conditions that Eastern Dao School had to abide by when receiving various training materials from Central City.
In reality, the gods were also very covetous of the five Supreme Divine Powers controlled by the Great Elder.
In recent years, they had finally managed to get involved with the internal affairs of Eastern Dao School and even made a deal with the Great Elders to insert a godly candidate to learn the Twilight Taoist Skill.
Zheng Wentian looked at Zhou Bai beside him with mixed feelings.
In this period, Zhou Bai had practically fleeced him of nearly two thousand points, causing substantial loss, making him both resent and fear Zhou Bai.
He realized he simply couldn’t refuse Zhou Bai’s requests.
He couldn’t keep this up, Zheng Wentian thought as he looked at Zhou Bai, making resolutions in his heart, ’How can I fear a mortal? I must surmount him in every aspect.’
’I am the son of an Immortal Emperor!’
Both of them arrived in the Great Elder’s dream world at the same time, but what appeared before Zhou Bai this time was an elderly woman with white hair and a frail figure.
The old woman lay motionless in a chair, merely lifting her eyelids to look at the newcomers as Zhou Bai and Zheng Wentian arrived.
Zhou Bai tentatively asked, "Jiaojiao?"

"You can call me Great Elder," Jiaojiao lifted her eyelids, her gaze coldly landing on Zhou Bai, her demeanor far more serious than any young or middle-aged version before.
"Zhou Bai, you go on to train. Zheng Wentian, stay here for the trial."
Saying this, it wasn’t up for debate. With a thought from the Great Elder, Zhou Bai was instantly transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the mountain of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.
The Great Elder looked coldly at Zheng Wentian left behind, "Don’t think just because you’re a godly candidate, you can definitely train in the Twilight Taoist Skill. If you fail the trial, even if the Immortal Emperor himself comes, I will not agree to let you train."
Zheng Wentian showed deep respect for this senior who was 100% Dao absorbed, just one step away from ascension.
He bowed and said, "I understand. If I don’t pass the trial, I will leave immediately."
Half an hour later, Zheng Wentian reappeared before the Great Elder, his face pale. The Great Elder nodded in satisfaction, "Not too bad. Which Taoist Skill do you want to train in?"
Zheng Wentian’s competitive spirit flared, and he asked, "Which series is Zhou Bai training?"
"Hmm?" The Great Elder said sternly, "The five Supreme Divine Powers involve the mysteries of Heavenly Dao and require absolute focus and diligence. It’s not meant for you to use for competition or out of spite."
Hearing this, Zheng Wentian knew he wouldn’t be told which Zhou Bai was training, but thinking of Zhou Bai’s sword diagram, he said, "Then I choose the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword."
