Chapter 764 Bai Zhilan was drenched in sweat.
Bai Zhilan's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her long, majestic dragon eyes were filled with confusion.
Logically speaking, she should be very excited to have finally become the disciple of the Star Mother.
However, a sense of unease lingered in my heart.
Especially Gu Qing's attitude towards her.
That didn't seem like they were treating a junior sister at all; it was more like they were treating a stranger.
And then there's the Star Mother; after she pleaded for Chen Mo, her attitude towards her clearly turned cold.
This is very wrong.
"Does this mean that Senior Brother doesn't acknowledge me, nor does he acknowledge Senior Brother Chen Mo? Is it because he doesn't care about me that he's too lazy to argue with me?"
“But… there was no enmity between them…” Bai Zhilan was completely puzzled.
"Senior Sister Zhilan..."
Chen Mo said with delight.
Looking at the beautiful and noble white jade, a look of infatuation appeared in his eyes.
So beautiful.
Bai Zhilan wore a gorgeous fairy dress, her slender waist was graceful, her fair skin glowed, and she exuded a refined and otherworldly charm, with a noble and elegant temperament.
Walking through the bustling city, she felt as if she were a peerless goddess from heaven who had accidentally fallen to earth, completely out of place among the crowd around her.
"Senior Brother Chen Mo..."
She and Chen Mo had a life-or-death bond, and in the secret realm, she called Chen Mo her junior brother.
However, she has now become a disciple of the Star Saintess, and Chen Mo, who entered the sect earlier than her, is her senior brother.
"Senior brother?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's eyes showed surprise.
Bai Zhilan briefly recounted how she became an apprentice.
"I see!"
Chen Mo suddenly realized.
He didn't know why, but seeing Bai Zhilan get what she wanted, he should have been happy for her, but he just couldn't feel happy at all.
It felt as if I had missed some important opportunity, and I felt empty inside.
And Little Red...
Chen Mo's expression changed, and he asked, "Junior Sister, is Xiao Hong with Master?"
Before he knew it, Xiao Hong had slipped away right under his nose.
Previously, it was thought that Gu Qing had helped Xiao Hong shield her aura, but now it seems that it might have been the Holy Mother of Stars who intervened.
After all, he was a Celestial Being at the twelfth level of the cultivation realm, and Chen Mo didn't believe that Gu Qing had the ability to silently take away Xiao Hong right under his nose.
But he couldn't understand why the Star Mother would help Xiao Hong.
Upon realizing this, Chen Mo felt a little flustered.
He wasn't stupid. If the Star Mother helped Xiao Hong, it would mean that he had been completely abandoned by the Star Mother.
"Not here!"
Bai Zhilan paused for a moment, becoming more cautious, and did not want to reveal anything about the Star Mother.
After all, Chen Mo was only a nominal disciple.
It wasn't that she looked down on Chen Mo, but rather that there was a fundamental difference between a disciple on the honorary title and a disciple on the personal title.
Personal disciples are like one's own children, while nominal disciples are dispensable.
In other words, the Star Mother does not value Chen Mo.
With Bai Zhilan's intelligence, and without the influence of the protagonist's halo, her mind was clear and serene, and she quickly realized the problem.
Chen Mo is more talented than her, yet he doesn't accept her as his personal disciple. This is definitely not a problem with the Star Saint Mother.
Even a powerful being like the Holy Mother of Stars, who can see through the past, present, and future with a single thought, surely has a profound meaning behind every action she takes.
"That's good!"
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid that Xiao Hong had a powerful backer, but he was afraid that Xiao Hong's backer was the Holy Mother of the Stars.
Chen Mo didn't want to be abandoned by the Star Mother.
wrong……
How did Bai Zhilan meet Xiao Hong?
"How did you get to know a Divine Emperor's attendant, Junior Sister?" he asked, puzzled.
“I’ve organized many trade fairs, and Xiao Hong has helped me a lot,” Bai Zhilan said calmly, her eyes flashing.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was overjoyed, feeling a sense of relief and delight, as if a new vista had been opened up.
"Junior sister, did you attend today's trade fair?"
"Hmm!" Bai Zhilan responded with a faint "hmm."
"Then... does Junior Sister know what treasures were traded at today's trade fair?" Chen Mo pressed.
Bai Zhilan fell silent.
Bai Zhilan said calmly, "Senior brother, why are you asking about this?"
"Junior sister, I sense that this transaction will be an opportunity for me..." Chen Mo's excitement was palpable, completely unaware that Bai Zhilan's gaze was growing increasingly cold.
"So, what does Senior Brother plan to do? Kill someone to seize the opportunity?"
"Uh~"
Chen Mo's expression froze, a hint of panic flashing across his face. He quickly said, "How could that be? I just wanted to make a deal with them."
"Don't you know who I am, Junior Sister?"
"Even if it's an incredible opportunity, I won't give it a second glance if it's not mine."
Bai Zhilan frowned in thought. In her memory, Chen Mo was indeed like that, with a firm Dao heart and unmoved by external things.
In the past, Bai Zhilan would have believed him without a doubt.
But now, Bai Zhilan suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
The treasures and opportunities of heaven and earth have no owner; they belong to the virtuous.
Whoever receives it is destined to be with it.
What's the difference between Chen Mo's talk of fate and openly stealing someone else's opportunity?
Furthermore, Chen Mo, like her, was at the twelfth level of the cultivation realm.
What treasures did those God Emperors possess that Chen Mo coveted?
wrong……
Bai Zhilan was startled. The God Emperor didn't have it, but she did.
Isn't that Token of Preaching the opportunity to break through to the level of a Sovereign God?
So, the opportunity that Chen Mo wanted to seize was actually her opportunity?
Doesn't that mean the person who's been plotting against her behind the scenes is actually the powerful figure behind Chen Mo?
Upon realizing this, Bai Zhilan broke out in a cold sweat, her heart filled with fear and unease.
To be able to conceal her "consciousness" without anyone noticing, one's cultivation level must be at least that of a ruling god, or even a Dao Lord.
"So, Master didn't accept Chen Mo as a personal disciple because he saw through the scheme? Master and Senior Brother's sudden coldness towards me is all because of Chen Mo?" Bai Zhilan's pupils trembled.
At this moment, she finally realized how foolish it had been to help Chen Mo plead for him.
She finally realized what it meant when the Star Mother repeatedly told her to sever all ties with her past.
The Star Mother herself helped her break the secret spell, but she foolishly went to her.
Bai Zhilan wasn't stupid; she could easily see through the intentions of the Star Mother and Gu Qing.
If she insists on standing on Chen Mo's side, she will definitely be expelled from the sect by her master.
She just barely escaped death.
"Hiss~" Bai Zhilan was shocked. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Before such a powerful being, she was as powerless as an ant, merely a useful pawn.
Bai Zhilan secretly made up her mind that she must listen to her master's words, sever all ties with her past life, and serve her master alone in this life.
"Junior sister, junior sister, what's wrong?"
Seeing Bai Zhilan lost in thought and looking horrified, Chen Mo's eyes flickered, and he asked.
The fact that Bai Zhilan could lose her composure like this suggests that a powerful figure might have appeared at the trade fair.
Chen Mo became even more certain that this trade fair held an opportunity for him, perhaps even a great opportunity that would allow him to break through to the level of a Sovereign God.
"No, it's okay."
Bai Zhilan snapped out of her daze and shook her head slightly.
"Then, junior sister, could you tell me the details of the trade fair?" Chen Mo asked again.
"No treasures were traded at the trade fair," Bai Zhilan said calmly, her dragon eyes slightly narrowed.
"Impossible!" Chen Mo's expression changed, and the word "impossible" slipped out.
"It is what it is."
"The trade fair has just begun, but because Senior Brother Gu has finished, everyone is trying to arrange a Daoist partner for him, and no one is really interested in trading."
As Bai Zhilan spoke, she couldn't help but recall Gu Qing's vulnerable expression and suddenly laughed.
Her senior brother seems to be both wicked and innocent; he doesn't even realize his own status, ultimately he's too young.
"..."
Chen Mo was dumbfounded, a feeling of frustration welling up inside him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Damn it, the trade fair opportunity he had been looking forward to had turned into Gu Qing's blind date.
What the hell is this?
Chen Mo was devastated.
"Senior brother, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Bai Zhilan's voice was clear and ethereal. After speaking, she drifted away, like a goddess ascending to heaven, leaving the mortal world and becoming an immortal.
"Wait for me!"
Chen Mo hurriedly chased after him.
He suddenly had a strong intuition that Bai Zhilan held a special place in his heart.
