764: Bai Zhilan was sweating profusely

Bai Zhilan's willow-leaf brows were slightly furrowed, and her long, majestic dragon eyes were filled with confusion.

Logically speaking, having successfully become a disciple of the Starry Sacred Mother, she should have been very excited.

However, a sense of unease lingered in her heart.

Especially Gu Qing's attitude towards her.

It wasn't at all like treating a Junior Sister; it was as if he were treating a stranger.

And the Starry Sacred Mother, after she spoke up to intercede for Chen Mo, her attitude towards her clearly became colder.

This was very wrong.

"Could it be that Senior Brother didn't acknowledge me, nor did he acknowledge Senior Brother Chen Mo? Is it because he doesn't care about me, so he couldn't be bothered to argue with me?"

"But... there was no enmity between them to begin with..." Bai Zhilan was utterly perplexed.

"Senior Sister Zhilan..."

Chen Mo said, surprised.

Looking at the beautiful and noble Bai Zhilan, his eyes showed a look of infatuation.

She was too beautiful.

Bai Zhilan wore a magnificent immortal dress, her waist slender and graceful, her skin fair and glowing, exuding an ethereal charm, with a noble and elegant demeanor.

Walking through the bustling market, she seemed like a peerless goddess from the heavens who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world, completely out of place with the surrounding crowd.

"Senior Brother Chen Mo..."

She and Chen Mo had a life-and-death friendship; in the secret realm, she called Chen Mo Junior Brother.

But now that she had become a disciple of the Starry Sacred Mother, and Chen Mo had joined earlier than her, he was her Senior Brother.

"Senior Brother?"

Chen Mo was stunned when he heard this, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

Bai Zhilan simply recounted her apprenticeship.

"So that's how it is!"

Chen Mo suddenly understood.

He just didn't know why, seeing Bai Zhilan get what she wanted, he should have been happy for her, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

It was as if he had missed some important opportunity, leaving a hollow feeling in his heart.

And Xiao Hong... Chen Mo's expression changed, and he asked, "Junior Sister, is Xiao Hong with Master?"

He had been careless, and Xiao Hong had slipped away right under his nose.

Before, he thought Gu Qing had helped Xiao Hong mask her aura, but now it seemed possible that the Starry Sacred Mother had done it.

After all, he was a Heavenly Being at the peak of the Twelfth Realm, and Chen Mo didn't believe Gu Qing had the ability to silently take Xiao Hong away right under his nose.

But he couldn't understand why the Starry Sacred Mother would help Xiao Hong.

At this thought, Chen Mo felt a little flustered.

He wasn't stupid; if the Starry Sacred Mother had helped Xiao Hong, it meant he had been completely abandoned by the Starry Sacred Mother.

"No!"

Bai Zhilan was silent for a moment, keeping her guard up, not wanting to reveal anything about the Starry Sacred Mother.

After all, Chen Mo was only a registered disciple.

It wasn't that she looked down on Chen Mo, but there was a fundamental difference between a registered disciple and a direct disciple.

Direct disciples are like one's own children, while registered disciples are dispensable.

In other words, the Starry Sacred Mother did not value Chen Mo.

With Bai Zhilan's intelligence, now free from the influence of the protagonist's halo, her mind was clear and ethereal, and she quickly realized the problem.

Chen Mo's talent was better than hers, yet he wasn't accepted as a direct disciple; this certainly wasn't the Starry Sacred Mother's problem.

A powerful being like the Starry Sacred Mother, who could comprehend the past, present, and future with a single thought, surely had deep intentions behind every action.

"That's good!"

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid of Xiao Hong having a backer; he was afraid of Xiao Hong's backer being the Starry Sacred Mother.

Chen Mo didn't want to be abandoned by the Starry Sacred Mother.

Wait... how did Bai Zhilan know Xiao Hong?

"How did Junior Sister get to know an Immortal Attendant of a Divine Emperor?" he asked, puzzled.

"I've held many trade fairs, and Xiao Hong helped me a lot," Bai Zhilan said, her eyes flickering, her tone calm.

"What?"

Chen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, feeling a pleasant surprise like finding a new village after a winding path.

"Did Junior Sister participate in today's trade fair?"

"Yes!" Bai Zhilan gave a faint affirmation.

"Then... does Junior Sister know what treasures were traded at today's trade fair?" Chen Mo pressed on.

Bai Zhilan fell silent.

Bai Zhilan said faintly, "Senior Brother, why are you asking about this?"

"Junior Sister, I feel that this trade fair holds my opportunity..." The excitement in Chen Mo's eyes was evident, completely missing the increasingly cold look in Bai Zhilan's eyes.

"Then what does Senior Brother plan to do? Kill people to seize opportunities?"

"Uh~"

Chen Mo's expression froze, a hint of panic flashed across his face, and he quickly said, "How could I? I just want to trade with them."

"Doesn't Junior Sister know what kind of person I am?"

"Even if it's an immense opportunity, if it's not mine, I'll never even glance at it."

Bai Zhilan frowned in thought; in her impression, Chen Mo was indeed like that, with a firm Dao heart, unmoved by external things.

If it were before, Bai Zhilan would have believed his words without a doubt.

But now, Bai Zhilan suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

The treasures and opportunities of heaven and earth are inherently unowned; they belong to the virtuous.

Whoever obtains them is destined to have them.

What difference was there between Chen Mo's 'destined' and openly robbing someone else's opportunity?

Furthermore, Chen Mo, like her, was at the peak of the Twelfth Realm.

What treasures could those Divine Emperors possess that would be worth Chen Mo's attention?

Wait... Bai Zhilan was startled; the Divine Emperors didn't have any, but she did.

Wasn't that Dao Decree the opportunity to break through to a Master God?

So, the opportunity Chen Mo wanted to seize was actually her opportunity?

Didn't that mean the person who had been secretly plotting against her was actually the powerful being behind Chen Mo?

At this thought, Bai Zhilan was drenched in sweat, her heart filled with fear and unease.

To be able to obscure her "consciousness" without anyone knowing, that cultivation level had to be at least a Master God, or even a Dao Lord.

"So, Master didn't accept Chen Mo as a direct disciple because she saw through the plot? And Master and Senior Brother's attitudes suddenly turned cold towards me, all because of Chen Mo?" Bai Zhilan's pupils trembled.

At this moment, she finally realized how foolish her actions were in interceding for Chen Mo.

She also finally realized what the Starry Sacred Mother meant by repeatedly telling her to cut ties with her past.

The Starry Sacred Mother personally helped her break the secret art, yet she foolishly went back to him.

Bai Zhilan wasn't stupid; how could she not understand the intentions of the Starry Sacred Mother and Gu Qing?

If she firmly stood by Chen Mo, she would definitely be purged by Master.

She had just walked by the gates of hell.

"Hiss~" Bai Zhilan was horrified, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

Before such a supreme powerhouse, she was as powerless as an ant, merely a usable pawn.

Bai Zhilan secretly resolved to definitely listen to Master's words, cut ties with her past, and in this life, only serve Master.

"Junior Sister, Junior Sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing Bai Zhilan lost in thought, her expression horrified, Chen Mo's eyes flickered, and he asked.

For Bai Zhilan to be so distraught, a powerful being might have appeared at the trade fair.

Chen Mo became even more convinced that this trade fair definitely held his opportunity, perhaps even the great opportunity that would allow him to break through to a Master God.

"No, nothing."

Bai Zhilan regained her composure, shaking her head slightly.

"Then, Junior Sister, could you tell me the details of the trade fair?" Chen Mo pressed again.

"No treasures were traded at the trade fair," Bai Zhilan said faintly, her dragon eyes slightly narrowed.

"Impossible!" Chen Mo's expression changed, and the words "impossible" blurted out.

"That's the truth."

"The trade fair had just begun when it ended because of Senior Brother Gu; everyone wanted to arrange a Dao Companion for him and had no mind for trading at all."

As Bai Zhilan spoke, she couldn't help but recall Gu Qing's flustered expression, and she suddenly laughed.

Her Senior Brother, it seemed, was both mischievous and pure, not even realizing his own status; he was still too young after all.

"..."

Chen Mo was dumbfounded, a knot of frustration building in his heart, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Damn it, the trade fair opportunity he had been yearning for had turned into Gu Qing's matchmaking event.

What the hell was this?

Chen Mo's mentality exploded.

"Senior Brother, if there's nothing else, Junior Sister will take her leave first."

Bai Zhilan's voice was clear and ethereal; after speaking, she floated away, like a goddess ascending to the heavens, leaving the mortal world, and becoming an immortal.

"Wait for me!"

Chen Mo hastily chased after her.

He suddenly had a strong intuition that his opportunity lay with Bai Zhilan.
