Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 768 Burn the Note After Reading It

The sea wind blows gently.

The moon in the sky is reflected in the sea. A stone is thrown into the water, which shatters the shadow of the moon like a broken mirror.

The howling of the beasts comes from the jungle behind from time to time.

The girl in a white hoodie is sitting on a big rock as tall as half a meter. The rock looks weird. Naturally formed it is, it looks somewhat of a lion.

“What? Are you planning to leave the Ghost Sect and spread the news?” A voice suddenly sounds behind her back.

Meng Jing sneers.

The moment Li Lang appears, she has noticed his arrival. Since they arrived at the Ghost Sect, he has kept pestering her like the glue. Over time Meng Jing is used to that but she still feels grumpy.

“Actually, I can feel that you don’t want to stay in the Ghost Sect. Let me guess. You are here in the Ghost Sect to find the base of the Ghost Sect and then send the information out, right?”

Meng Jing snorts and says, “You had better keep your mouth shut.”

“You know well whether I’m talking nonsense,” Li Lang sneers and says, “They don’t know you but I do. I’ve been in love with you for so long and have targeted you for such a long time. Even if I cannot say I know what you are thinking about completely, I can still guess it more or less.”

Seeing Meng Jing doesn’t respond, Li Lang doesn’t mean to stop at all. Just like a storyteller, he keeps voicing out his thoughts.

“You and Gao Ge are in deep love. Although it sounds a bit disgusting, that’s what I believe. However, you may as well give it up. Do you think they don’t know about it?” Li Lang says, “I don’t tell everyone about this not because I don’t think they will trust me but because they can guess your aim. They simply want to beat you at your game.”

Meng Jing looks disgruntled now.

“Therefore, after you come into the Ghost Sect, it has become impossible for you to get out of here alive,” Li Lang continues saying, “Well... They don’t kill you now only because the thing in your body is of vital importance to the Ghost Sect. When you are no longer of value, do you think they will keep you alive?”

Meng Jing looks at him, her eyes full of confusion, “Hasn’t it ever occurred to you that I will kill you?”

“You won’t,” Li Lang says, “Because you have to count on me.”

Meng Jing pulls a long face.

“As long as you agree to marry me, I will go out and spread the news. What do you say?” Li Lang says.

Meng Jing sneers.

“Actually, I think it is a good bargain for you,” Li Lang says, “You cannot go in and out of the Ghost Sect freely, but I can.”

“Do you think I’m an idiot?” Meng Jing says, “If the Ghost Sect is really exterminated, you will die too. Do you think Gao Ge will let go of you? Do you think the Ghost Sect will let go of you? All in all, you and the Ghost Sect are in the same boat.”

Li Lang rubs his nose, “It seems that since you chose to be with Gao Ge, you’ve become smart due to his influence.”

Meng Jing bridles at Li Lang’s thought.

“However, no matter what, you cannot leave the Ghost Sect anyway. In this case, don’t you think I’m a good choice for you?” Li Lang says.

Meng Jing really wants to spit to Li Lang’s face.

“It doesn’t matter if you are unhappy. After all, Granny has started to discuss our marriage with my master. If you disagree, you can talk to Granny,” Li Lang says.

Meng Jing grits her teeth.

“Actually, you don’t have to be angry. And don’t hate Granny. She is doing this for your own good,” Li Lang sighs and says, “I haven’t met Granny before but I still know her. She is no ordinary woman. You know, she is the wife of the late sovereign. Therefore, even the current sovereign respects her very much. However, her character is queer and she likes being alone. Since she thinks highly of you, it indicates that you are talented indeed. Besides, it is beyond my expectations that she can think for your own good.”

Seeing Meng Jing’s dismissive eyes, Li Lang smiles, “I know you don’t believe me. Yet, think about this. Why does Granny want you to marry a disciple of the Ghost Sect? It is simply to let you move on from Gao Ge and become a loyal member of the Ghost Sect. If you think she only values the thing in your body, you are wrong too. If that’s really the case, it will be enough for her to keep you here. Why does she still do this? After all, she only wants to let you live well.”

Meng Jing doesn’t answer.

Seeing Meng Jing’s facial expression, Li Lang also laughs.

“Look at you. You hate me that much but you suddenly start to believe what I say now. Hasn’t Gao Ge told you not to trust your enemy randomly?”

Meng Jing is speechless.

She is wondering whether something is wrong with Li Lang...

“Okay. It’s late now. Go back and sleep early. There is still latent danger in the Ghost Sect at night,” Li Lang says, “I think you won’t agree with me to send you back so I won’t make the offer then. See you around.”

Li Lang leaves with a wave of his hand.

Having sat for a while, Meng Jing heaves a sigh.

Li Lang is her enemy but she also knows that what Li Lang said is true.

She hasn’t gained the trust of the Ghost Sect yet.

If the Ghost Sect can trust her so easily, how can they remain mysterious and sustain until now?

Therefore, it is really unlikely for her to leave the Ghost Sect...

On the way back, she walks past a shady path and suddenly a figure appears before her.

It just flashes past.

Meng Jing’s facial expression stiffens and she tenses instantly.

Maybe Li Lang is right.

It is not peaceful in the Ghost Sect at night.

She walks faster and wants to get out of here when a gust of strong wind comes at her.

She dodges subconsciously. To her surprise, a spitball drops to her feet.

She raises her head and looks ahead. The figure has left.

With a frown, she picks up the spitball but she doesn’t rush to unfold it. Instead, she puts it into her pocket and speeds up going back. She just wants to go back as soon as possible...

She returns to her room, lights up the candle, sits by the bed and unfolds the note slowly.

There is only a sentence on the note.

“Meet me at the mouth of Immortal Burying Valley tomorrow midnight and burn the note after reading it.”

The moment she finishes reading the note, Meng Jing feels a rush of heat. Then, the note starts to burn and turns into ashes.

“So, this is what it means to ‘burn the note after reading it’.” Meng Jing is a bit surprised. That is so unbelievable.
