Chapter 27 Hu Daji's Brilliant Performance

Once everyone had returned to their own courtyards, Gao Huohuo took the opportunity to slip out alone.

She had to pick up Hu Daji; otherwise, if he stayed outside for too long, he might be discovered by others.

"Hu···"

Just as Gao Huohuo was about to call for help, a cloud of white mist drifted past him. He stepped into it and saw Hu Daji huddled inside.

"Hu Daji, you're a Golden Core cultivator, what are you afraid of?"

"fear death."

Okay, that was a quick answer. Next time, you don't need to be so quick; try to be more tactful.

"Grandma, you promised me you'd help me poison the Grand Elder. When are we going?"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet.

I have my own plans regarding the Grand Elder. It will be easier for me to fish in troubled waters when the Evil Shadow Sect and the other three sects start fighting.

"And now that you're out, don't call me 'Grandma' anymore. Just call me Huohuo from now on. You've taken care of the bodies I asked you to dispose of, haven't you?"

Hu Daji nodded. "Everything has been taken care of. I guarantee that no one else will notice anything when they go in."

After saying this, he looked at Gao Huohuo with some hesitation, and finally, under the pressure of Gao Huohuo's gaze, he had no choice but to speak.

"Aunt... Huo Huo, how can you be so sure that the Evil Shadow Sect is going to deal with the other three sects? Shouldn't our Shadow Moon Sect also be on guard?"

Gao Huohuo smiled before speaking, "Twelve people from the Evil Shadow Sect went in, and all twelve died, while the other three sects still have most of their members remaining. If you were the sect leader of the Evil Shadow Sect, what would you think?"

Hu Daji pondered for a moment before speaking:

“Of course I suspect that other sects that went in killed my people. Huo Huo, you went in too, why don’t you suspect the Shadow Moon Sect?”

"Because in their eyes, our Shadow Moon Sect is just a sect with the fewest members and the least strength, which can be completely ignored."

Hu Daji thought to himself: It's true that they are few in number, but if they are not strong, then they are just pretending.

Gao Huohuo alone can easily outsmart all of them, right?

The person we should be most careful of is Gao Huohuo; he's young but cunning.

"Hu Daji, I can tell from your expression that you're cursing me in your heart, aren't you?"

"I'm innocent! How dare I scold you? I've already signed a master-servant contract with you, so you are my master now."

After Hu Daji finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his palms and wondered to himself: Is Gao Huohuo really in the Qi Refining stage?

How could she know when he was cursing her in his heart?

Gao Huohuo then remembered that she had almost forgotten the important matter, and hurriedly took out the notes she had organized and let Hu Daji read them several times.

"When Master asks you about it, just say this..."

After listening, Hu Daji looked constipated and asked uncertainly:

"Huo Huo, are you sure your master won't kick me out if we do this?"

Gao Huohuo nodded confidently. "Don't worry, I've done my homework beforehand."

When they arrived at the entrance of the Shadow Moon Sect, Gao Huohuo discovered that Hu Daji couldn't get in. He hadn't noticed anything blocking the way before.

She had no choice but to give her jade slip to Hu Daji before she could bring him in.

Adhering to the principle of leniency for those who confess, Gao Huohuo went to find his master as soon as he returned.

"Master, during the competition, I took it upon myself to bring someone back. I would like to ask you to help me evaluate them."

Shen Cangxuan snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction:

"My little apprentice is quite something now; he's even learned to act first and ask for permission later."

Gao Huohuo immediately knelt down, hugged Shen Cangxuan's legs, and cried out:

"It's all my fault. Master, you taught me from a young age to help those in need. But I haven't drawn my sword yet; I've only brought the person back."

Little did I know that I had forgotten to inform my master beforehand. I deserve to die for this. If I had known this would happen, I should have withdrawn from the competition beforehand and consulted my master first.

"But seeing him living alone in the forest for twenty years to escape his enemies, I couldn't bear it, and that's why I decided to intervene."

Shen Cangxuan frowned repeatedly. When did he start teaching her from a young age?

What do you mean by "seeing injustice and drawing one's sword to help"? How could a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator like her have such courage?

Saying that he asked for permission to withdraw from the competition early is just a way of saying that he, as the master, only cares about his own dignity and doesn't care about the life or death of his disciple.

Where did Gao Huohuo get so many fallacies from all day?

Feeling his trouser leg being shaken, Shen Cangxuan realized that his little apprentice was still clinging to his legs.

He wanted to kick her away, but was afraid of hurting her, so he could only yell, "Nonsense! Let go right now!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo quickly stood up, changed to a grateful expression, and said to him:

"Master, I have brought the person here now. I will go and bring him over for you to see."

The young apprentice ran off like a gust of wind, not giving him a chance to object. Did he even agree just now? She brought people over.

Shen Cangxuan picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and silently consoled himself.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. All apprentices are yours. If they really don't listen, you can just give them a beating one of these days.

So when Gao Huohuo arrived with Hu Daji, Shen Cangxuan returned to his usual calm and composed state.

"Master, this is Hu Daji, whom I told you about. You two have a good chat. I'll go down now."

As Gao Huohuo left, she gestured to Hu Daji, meaning that he shouldn't forget what she had taught him that day.

Hu Daji sat nervously opposite Shen Cangxuan. Although the other party was at the same Golden Core stage as him, he felt that the other party's aura was several levels above his own.

"Sect Master Shen, hello. My name is Hu Daji. I was originally an outer sect elder of the Blood Demon Sect."

Hu Daji recalled the process that Gao Huohuo taught him: first, a normal self-introduction, and then a tearful recounting of his past.

Especially in the part about past events, the performance strives to be seamless and genuine, aiming to both move the audience and establish the character of a person of unyielding integrity.

Then comes the pledge of loyalty, which can be skipped by just a few quick words, as Gao Huohuo said his master doesn't care about such things.

Finally, there is a passionate and inspiring summary, striving to be orderly and clear, and this part is also crucial.

Gao Huohuo said that most examiners only look at the beginning and the end, but she designed an extra climax, making it a perfect answer sheet.

Although Hu Daji didn't understand the meaning of answering questions and grading papers, he still believed Gao Huohuo's words.

After Hu Daji finished his performance, he realized that Shen Cangxuan did not look as empathetic as Gao Huohuo had said.

Instead, he kept drinking tea, seemingly suppressing some kind of emotion within him.

Could it be that Sect Leader Shen, as Gao Huohuo said, was so moved by his performance that he needed to drink tea to calm his emotions?

Once the fire in his heart had finally subsided, Shen Cangxuan gritted his teeth and asked:

"Did Gao Huohuo teach you all of that?"

Hu Daji nodded in disbelief. No wonder Gao Huohuo was so powerful; it turned out it was because her master was so amazing!

"Click."

Shen Cangxuan crushed the water glass in his hand. After reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times, he was finally able to speak calmly.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Say it again yourself."

Hu Daji was startled by Shen Cangxuan's gaze. "Say it again? Did you not get enough of the performance just now?"

Just as they were about to do it again, they heard Shen Cangxuan's cold voice.

"Think it through before talking."

Think it through? Did he not perform clearly enough just now?

Hu Daji glanced at Shen Cangxuan furtively and realized that he wasn't moved by his performance, but rather furious.

When Hu Daji later became an elder of the Shadow Moon Sect, he came to a conclusion.

You can believe anything Gao Huohuo says, except for her judgment about her master.
