The Great Righteous Path Successor

When entering the Errand Disciple Quarters, Xiao Bai had already smoothed things over with Zhao Hanwu in advance, so the Heart Questioning during entry was just a formality, and he passed easily.

When entering Hundred Herbs Peak, facing Elder Yuhu's Heart Questioning question, Xiao Bai, who had originally intended to use the opportunity to flirt, accidentally ended up submitting a pledge of allegiance and also passed easily.

Now, during the Sect Tour Ceremony's Heart Questioning, he had to face the Spiritual Pressure of three or four Nascent Soul grand elders and over a dozen Golden Core elders. Preparing answers in advance was useless; the Heart Questioning Magic Technique would reveal his true thoughts without fail.

The Snow Flame Sect's most stringent political review was none other than this!

After all, the Snow Flame Sect was surrounded by demon-monsters. To enter the sect's core leadership, they didn't care about your strength; the key was that you couldn't harbor external intentions.

The Heart Questioning segment of the Sect Tour Ceremony was usually when the Sect Master asked the new disciples three questions.

There were no requirements for the new disciples' talent; the focus was on loyalty to the sect and loyalty to the Dao Alliance.

The types of questions generally revolved around demon-monsters, the Heavenly Origin Dao Laws, personal aspirations...

Xiao Bai steadied his mind and slowly walked forward, stopping about ten feet in front of the Sect Master. His gaze was calm, and he bowed slightly, saying:

"This disciple is ready."

All the spectators also held their breath, their curiosity piqued – everyone wanted to understand, through the Heart Questioning segment, the reason why Elder Yuhu had chosen Xiao Bai.

Qi Shan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Xiao Bai.

As the Sect Overseer, he wanted to use this opportunity to understand Elder Yuhu's research direction, whether it was truly, as rumored, through pharmacology and Demon-Monster Fusion.

Because the demon-monsters captured by the Snow Flame Sect over the years all had to undergo live or post-mortem examinations by Master Yuhu, and only after being confirmed by the Discipline Hall were they sent to the Dao Supervision Palace.

She had the means to do so.

"Very good."

As Master Chun Xiao waved his sleeve, a wisp of Nascent Soul realm Spiritual Pressure, light as a cloud, settled above Xiao Bai's head.

Xiao Bai's heart sank. His Dantian didn't feel any pressure; the pressure was on his Sea of Consciousness.

A thin mist projected from the top of his head, and ripples appeared on the previously calm surface of the sea.

This thin mist not only revealed the subject's state of mind but also indicated his understanding and thoughts.

It was the ultimate lie detector!

Everyone present could tell the truthfulness of Xiao Bai's answers from this thin mist.

Even the Blazing Spring behind Xiao Bai began to churn and erupt inexplicably, sending up pillars of magma.

Master Chun Xiao held his Jade Flute, tapping his palm rhythmically. His imposing gaze softened, attempting to help Xiao Bai calm down as much as possible.

"First question, Xiao Bai, what do you admire most about Elder Yuhu?"

As soon as the question was asked, the entire audience erupted in surprise!

No one expected that during such an important Heart Questioning, the Sect Master would ask a question about feelings...

Was he really protecting Yu Hu?

But Xiao Bai still felt clear pressure.

It seemed like a question about feelings, but it was actually testing his understanding of the Elder, thereby inferring their true relationship, and even the Elder's purpose.

After thinking carefully, Xiao Bai spoke with conviction:

"Although this disciple was forced into this, what I admire most about the Elder is her soul, followed by her beauty, and finally, her ability to improve this disciple's cultivation."

As he said these words, Xiao Bai's expression didn't change, and his heart didn't pound!

After all, it was all the truth.

What he valued most was the Elder's soul – the determination of a villainous Demoness to overthrow humanity.

This was also what the Modifier valued most.

Next was beauty; you had to be beautiful enough to be chosen as the Female Lead by the Modifier.

Furthermore, Xiao Bai was just a Laborer at the time, so any Female Lead stronger than him could be called a strong person – therefore, improving his cultivation through Dual Cultivation after binding with the Female Lead was a natural progression.

At the same time, the thin mist above Xiao Bai's head became increasingly calm.

This indicated that he had a clear conscience and was speaking the truth.

Soon, his spine stopped hurting, and even a hint of warmth spread through it.

It seemed the Elder was also pleased.

Only among the disciples was there a faint chorus of whispered scorn:

"Shameless."

"Lewd."

"Absolutely no shame!"

After all, Xiao Bai had ranked Elder Yuhu's beauty second and Dual Cultivation third. This was not something that could be covered up by saying the soul came first!

Master Chun Xiao felt relieved, and the persistent sound of the flute in his mind dissipated significantly.

"Second question, after becoming partners with Elder Yuhu and residing on Hundred Herbs Peak, what are your personal aspirations?"

Xiao Bai and the audience simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, a normal question.

"My ambition is to diligently cultivate, constantly improve my cultivation, take eliminating demons and monsters as my duty, be loyal to the sect and the Dao Alliance, and uphold righteousness in heaven and earth!"

Xiao Bai spoke with overwhelming momentum.

After all, these were his true feelings.

If he didn't eliminate demons and monsters and thwart their evil endeavors, how could he get the Heavenly Dao Grand Gift Bag?

Moreover, he was very precise; he said "eliminate demons and monsters," not "slay demons and eradicate monsters."

How could he kill his wife?

At the same time, the thin mist above Xiao Bai's head was eerily calm.

Everyone was speechless.

Generally speaking, it was acceptable for one's aura to fluctuate a little during Heart Questioning, but this person's aura was unbelievably stable.

Sect Overseer Qi Shan also had nothing to say.

Even Yu Hu and Mu Yun, seeing such a righteous and ambitious Xiao Bai, felt a ripple in their hearts and completely forgot about the matter of eliminating demons and monsters...

After all, in their opinion, Xiao Bai's strength was still a hundred thousand eight thousand miles away from eliminating demons and monsters.

Master Chun Xiao nodded, indicating his approval.

"Last question: Why do you think demons and monsters cannot fuse?"

The entire audience was stunned.

Everyone held their breath, completely silent.

The Sect Master suddenly got ruthless!

Xiao Bai's face stiffened.

What kind of crazy question was this? First, ask if it's true, then ask why!

Can demons and monsters really not fuse?

Xiao Bai thought carefully. This question was seriously beyond the scope; even the Math Olympiad didn't ask questions like this.

Too lazy to ponder, he answered casually:

"Can demons and monsters really not fuse? I'm not sure either, but no matter what, I will definitely do my best to stop it."

If the person doing this was one of the Female Leads in my Harem...

Xiao Bai didn't say this sentence out loud.

Doing his best to stop it - this wasn't something he could just say with empty boasting.

The thin mist above his head was calm and still.

This showed that Xiao Bai truly thought this way deep down!

A gust of strong wind blew past, making people's hearts feel as clear as a bright mirror.

Behind Xiao Bai, Yu Hu and Mu Yun looked very calm, but their hearts were already rippling.

The reason they didn't remind Xiao Bai that there was an extra Heart Questioning segment during the Sect Tour Ceremony was also to understand Xiao Bai's true thoughts.

Such a righteous Xiao Bai was likable, but was it good or bad for them?

This was a question worth pondering.

Princess Fei Yue smiled without speaking, only finding it amusing.

The male disciples on the square were speechless, feeling ashamed, and didn't even dare to look directly at the righteous light on Xiao Bai's face.

So, the beauties in the Cultivation World all liked handsome men with pure hearts and a strong sense of justice?

The female disciples also began to re-examine Xiao Bai, this Laborer.

The strengths they had struggled to understand about Xiao Bai were not his physique or appearance, but his sense of justice!

The Elders were somewhat suspicious.

A Laborer disciple who had just entered Qi Refining had an unusually high level of awareness.

Too perfect, on the contrary, was suspicious.

But it was also possible that this guy was an epic raw jade with Balanced Five Elements and an extremely pure heart!

It seemed that Heart Questioning was not enough; someone needed to take the lead and test his true abilities to see if he could live up to this unfounded sense of justice.

"Heart Questioning finished!"

The Old Master of Ceremonies shouted.

Yu Hu was fine!

The newcomer was fine!

Even the Sect Overseer had nothing to say!

The huge stone hanging in Master Chun Xiao's heart finally fell.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Sister Yu Hu on your happy union. May you both work together to revitalize our sect and eliminate demons to protect the Dao."

"We will do our utmost."

Xiao Bai clasped his hands slightly, a weight lifting from his heart. Finally, time for gifts, he thought.

The Old Master of Ceremonies tilted his head back and bellowed.

"The tour begins!"
