Chapter 219: Chapter 138: Revealing Identity, Pressure from the Martial Saint

Jiang Baishan walked on the streets of True Martial City, quickly turning into a small alley, and then appearing at the entrance of a small courtyard. ”Ruhua!”

He looked joyfully at the woman in white clothes who was watering the flowers, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Lin Ruhua turned around, her smile radiant, she leaned against Jiang Baishan’s chest, the two of them deeply in love, the tenderness in their eyes seemed to melt each other. ”It’s my fault for leaving you alone these days.” Jiang Baishan said guiltily.

Lin Ruhua smiled and shook her head: ”I understand, recently there’s been a lot going on at True Martial Sect, as an Elder, you have to set an example.”

She then playfully protested: ”Am I such an unreasonable woman?”

Saying so, she punched Jiang Baishan in the chest, causing him to grimace in pain, the words ’back then I wondered who was wielding a huge knife at me’ held back at his lips.

He laughed: ”Yes, yes, my Ruhua is the gentlest of all!”

Lin Ruhua nodded with satisfaction, Jiang Baishan suddenly said seriously: ”If so, would you be willing to become an Elder Lady at True Martial Sect with me? The True Martial Peach Assembly is about to start this year, and the brothers are eager to meet you.”

Lin Ruhua froze, her cheeks reddened.

This was too sudden, she wasn’t prepared at all.

Her eyes held joy and sweetness but were eventually replaced by hesitation. Looking at the determination and sincerity in Jiang Baishan’s eyes, she stepped back and sighed softly: ”Baishan, I don’t want to deceive you, I’ve never told you about my identity...”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Baishan interrupted: ”Are you trying to say that you belong to the Demon Sect?”

Lin Ruhua looked at Jiang Baishan in shock, only to see him smiling: ”We’ve been through so much together, if I were completely oblivious, wouldn’t that make me seem too foolish? My master taught me that a person cannot choose their birth, a gentleman judges by deeds not intentions, though you’re from the Demon Sect, but have never committed heinous acts, even possessing a kind heart, what does being part of the Demon Sect matter?”

Lin Ruhua was moved. ”But... I’m not an ordinary member of the Demon Sect, I’m the daughter of Lin Xueshuang, one of the three Vice Sect Leaders of the Demon Sect.”

With these words.

Jiang Baishan was dumbfounded.

He guessed that Lin Ruhua held some position in the Demon Sect, but never imagined it would be so significant, a Vice Sect Leader is just below the Sect Leader, and now, he seemed to have eloped with the daughter of such a figure, this was quite magical.

Lin Ruhua chuckled: ”Are you scared?”

Jiang Baishan quickly replied: ”Hmph! Her daughter is in my hands, what should I fear!”

Lin Ruhua immediately pinched the soft flesh at Jiang Baishan’s side, causing him to grimace and repeatedly beg for mercy.

Finally.

Lin Ruhua hugged Jiang Baishan’s arm and said softly: ”Baishan, as long as you don’t mind my identity, I’m not worried. I wasn’t deliberately hiding this from you, as you know, the Demon Sect has always been at odds with True Martial Sect, I feared you’d misunderstand my intentions in approaching you.”

Jiang Baishan said solemnly: ”Demon Sect matters have nothing to do with you, my master and the others are fair in their distinctions.”

Lin Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief, she had always been rebellious since childhood, not strongly identifying with the Demon Sect, with her beloved not minding her origins, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed. She pondered: ”I have some things I want to tell you.” ”Speak.”

The two confided openly.

Lin Ruhua organized her thoughts, then began to tell many of the secrets of the Demon Sect: ”The Demon Sect originally had conflicts with the Southern Border Alliance, leading to the deaths of several Celestial Human Realm members, but later both sides agreed to negotiate, believing there was a third party orchestrating from behind, deliberately encouraging war between the two, and the two main suspects were your True Martial Sect and Town North King.”

Jiang Baishan’s expression became serious.

This information was beyond his imagination. ”And now, they suspect True Martial Sect even more than Town North King, previously sending spies was a test, originally the Demon Sect and Southern Border were planning to seize an opportunity to strike at the True Martial Sect, but True Man Tianjian suddenly emerged and killed the Heart Inquiry Sword, making them wary.” ”However, they certainly won’t let it go easily, though there won’t be any major actions for now, there might be some targeting of the True Martial Sect disciples, you must be careful.”

Then she began to disclose some details, intelligence she had gathered using her status.

Originally she thought of revealing it to Jiang Baishan in another manner, but now that their identities were out in the open, she decided to lay everything bare.

Jiang Baishan tightly held Lin Ruhua’s hand, his eyes full of gratitude. ”Ruhua, was it also you who disclosed the issue with spies from the Demon Sect and Southern Border during the assessment?”

Lin Ruhua was stunned, because she had learned about this afterward as well. ”It wasn’t me...”

Both were taken aback.

Jiang Baishan furrowed his brows: ”If it wasn’t you, then who was it?”

Lin Ruhua’s thoughts raced, suddenly her eyes brightened, realizing something, her expression slightly peculiar: ”I know who it was.”

Facing Jiang Baishan’s inquisitive gaze, she slowly said: ”Qin Yun.” ”That traitor?” Jiang Baishan’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Back then he had a good relationship with Qin Yun, which is why, after Qin Yun left True Martial Sect, he was the most angry among the brothers, vowing repeatedly to one day bring Qin Yun back to repent before their master.

Years passed without any news of Qin Yun, unexpectedly he learned of it from his beloved.
