Chapter 24

The Devil Sect's treasure was a Purple Heart Lotus.

This was a very rare mystical flower in the mainland. Rather than calling it a mystical flower, it was more appropriate to call it a mystical elixir!

Legend has it that even an immature Purple Heart Lotus could revive the dead if eaten by an ordinary person. If a cultivator ate it, they could cleanse their marrow and increase their strength, becoming a peak master in a short period of time.

A mature Purple Heart Lotus even had the powerful effect of allowing one to break through to the peak and become immortal. It was sought after by all the masters on the mainland because no one had been able to break through to a higher realm for thousands of years.

However, this flower's growth cycle was extremely long, requiring hundreds of years. The conditions for its growth were also extremely harsh and could only be found by chance.

Qin Shitian had obtained it by chance and spent a lot of effort to transplant it to the Devil Sect. He carefully planted it and waited for it to mature before consuming it to become a supreme master in this world.

However, who knew that Mo Haige would steal the Purple Heart Lotus that was a few months away from maturing and give it to Jun Yanhan, allowing him to obtain great power and become Qin Shitian's enemy.

Regardless of whether Qin Shitian would become enemies with Jun Yanhan because of Mo Haige, he could not let Jun Yanhan obtain the power of the Purple Heart Lotus.

Who knew if the two of them would clash because of other matters in the future?

After all, Qin Shitian was a great devil and the other was a righteous hero. The hostility between them would always exist.

Mo Haige's return to steal the treasure had obviously been carefully planned. Gu Bai followed behind him and watched as he skillfully knocked out the guards and replaced them with his trusted subordinates. Then, he smoothly went to the secret room where the Purple Heart Lotus was planted.

Gu Bai sighed in his heart as he followed behind. Indeed, there was no perfect world. Even a master like Qin Shitian would have a day of negligence. He did not even know that Mo Haige had gathered his trusted subordinates in the Devil Sect.

However, even though he knew that Mo Haige was going to the secret room to steal the treasure, he couldn't find the secret room himself. The Purple Heart Lotus was the most precious treasure of the Devil's Doctrine. It was extremely precious and no one could see it. Mo Haige knew about it because Qin Shitian had brought him there before.

Soon, Gu Bai followed Mo Haige to a quiet valley and entered a secluded cave.

However, he didn't know where the accident occurred, but the Purple Heart Lotus that was originally planted in the cave had disappeared without a trace!

"Impossible, impossible …"

Mo Haige shook his head in disbelief.

In the past few years, no matter how slow-witted he was, he could feel that Qin Shitian was gradually disliking him. According to Qin Shitian's temper, he would never let anyone else know about something as important as the Purple Heart Lotus. Therefore, it was normal for him to hate him and transplant it.

However, the conditions for the Purple Heart Lotus to grow were extremely strict. It wasn't something that could be easily transplanted. In the entire Devil's Doctrine, other than this cave, no other soil could be used to plant the Purple Heart Lotus. It must still be in the cave!

With this thought in mind, Mo Haige began to search the cave. As the Young Sect Master, although his martial prowess could not keep up in recent years, he had borrowed the name of the Young Sect Master to read many books in the Library Pavilion. He was proficient in the study and was also proficient in the art of mechanisms.

Under his patient search, he quickly found something suspicious. He found a button and found a secret room within a secret room!

With a face full of joy, Mo Haige walked in. Gu Bai quietly followed behind him.

Once he entered the secret room, the precious Purple Heart Lotus was indeed there. It was planted in a white jade flower pot and placed on a stone table.

However, Mo Haige didn't walk up immediately. His gaze was fixed on the paintings hanging on the walls of the secret room. He was shocked by the contents of the paintings.

As a member of the Devil's Doctrine, Mo Haige was experienced and knowledgeable. However, no matter how experienced and knowledgeable he was, he couldn't help but be shocked by the paintings on the walls of the secret room.

Those paintings were erotic paintings. Not only were there two men in the paintings, he was also very familiar with the faces of the two men.

It was his Master, Qin Shitian, and the Armament Refining Genius of the Sect. That little guard by his Master's side, Ah Jiu!

The two men in the paintings were naked. The fair and tender youth was being pressed down by the mature man, or hugged, or the youth was directly riding on the man's body. The pictures were not concealed at all and were extremely erotic.

Especially the expression on the youth's face. It was beautifully drawn. There was also a portrait of the youth alone hanging in the middle of the secret room.

It was a bath picture of the youth leaning against the side of the bathtub and lazily bathing. Mo Haige's eyesight was very good. With one look, he could see that the color of the youth's face was lighter than the other parts of the painting. It was obvious that the color had faded due to years of friction.

So the reason why his Master didn't look at him in the past few years was because he had someone else in his heart …

Mo Haige withdrew his gaze and thought to himself. He couldn't help but feel even colder and more disgusted with Qin Shitian. He had a change of heart on a whim. He hated people who were half-hearted the most. Fortunately, he didn't fall for his Master back then!

Behind him, Gu Bai's face stiffened when he saw the secret room full of paintings. He almost couldn't help but stagger and expose himself. He roared in his heart: Qin Shitian, you big pervert!

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn when he was seen by others after being the main character of someone's fantasy and being drawn by someone else.

However, Gu Bai wasn't in a hurry to walk out. He realized that other than him and Mo Haige, there was someone else in the secret room. A strong person, a strong person who wasn't inferior to him!

As expected, when Mo Haige walked over to take the Purple Heart Lotus, a black flame suddenly attacked him. He was directly slammed into the wall of the secret room. Blood spurted from his mouth.

"Master, you, why are you here …"

Mo Haige raised his head and saw the tall figure walking out from the dark. His expression changed. He didn't expect Qin Shitian to be in this secret room.

"Then why are you here?

… "

Qin Shitian stared at him coldly. There was no longer the infatuation and adoration in his eyes.

Today, after peeping at Gu Bai bathing, he couldn't calm down. As usual, he came to this secret room to paint and calm himself down.

He knew that Gu Bai wasn't as weak as he appeared to be. Back then, he was able to sneak into his bedroom. It was impossible for him to take the youth by force.

Every time he wanted the youth, he could only use painting to express his thoughts and release the evil fire in his heart. Who knew that someone would disturb him today.

There was no one else who knew about this place other than Mo Haige. As expected, Mo Haige relied on his understanding of him to find the secret room. He even dared to have designs on the Purple Heart Lotus.

"…"

Mo Haige was speechless. His face was pale. No matter how much he hated Qin Shitian, he was still very afraid of Qin Shitian. He was a ruthless devil who killed without batting an eyelid.

But when he thought that his sweetheart needed such a treasure, the fear in his heart lessened. Then, he remembered how Qin Shitian doted on him in the past. He couldn't help but kneel down.

"Master, this disciple is unfilial. This disciple wants to leave the Devil's Sect and live in seclusion. Before I leave, I want to ask Master to give this disciple a Purple Heart Lotus …"

Qin Shitian didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while. "What do you want the Purple Heart Lotus for?"

The matter between Mo Haige and Jun Yanhan was very secretive. In addition, they had only known each other for a short time. Even if Qin Shitian had many spies, he still didn't know.

Qin Shitian didn't know about Jun Yanhan's existence. Naturally, Mo Haige didn't dare to say it out loud.

After staying in the Devil's Sect for so many years and growing up by Qin Shitian's side, he understood Qin Shitian's character very well. He was an extremely extreme person.

If Qin Shitian knew that he had betrayed him for another man, he would definitely kill Jun Yanhan. The current Jun Yanhan couldn't fight against Qin Shitian at all.

Mo Haige bit his lip. He trembled a little in fear, but he was still firm and stubborn.

"Master, this disciple doesn't want to stay in the Devil's Sect anymore. I don't want to participate in the fights anymore. This disciple wants to live a quiet life. I beg Master to give this disciple a Purple Heart Lotus …"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Shitian's uncertain eyes. He made up his mind and couldn't help but add another sentence.

"As long as Master agrees to give this disciple a Purple Heart Lotus, this disciple will do anything …"

Knowing that it was impossible to snatch it in front of Qin Shitian, Mo Haige didn't dare to use force. His expression was sorrowful and he endured the humiliation. Clearly, for Jun Yanhan, he was willing to do anything, even if it meant being touched by Qin Shitian, whom he viewed as a plague.

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Shitian's expression.

After he finished speaking, Qin Shitian's ugly expression calmed down. A pair of cold eyes stared at him, somewhat uncertain.

He understood Mo Haige's character very well. He was very cold and firm. Previously, he would rather die and disobey him than let him touch him. Now, he was willing to be intimate with him for a Purple Heart Lotus. This was too strange. There must be a reason behind it.

Not to mention that he no longer had any interest in Mo Haige. Even if he did, he wouldn't touch Mo Haige under these circumstances.

Thinking of this, he was more interested in Mo Haige's goal of getting the Purple Heart Lotus.

"Forget it … Get up. I won't give you the Purple Heart Lotus. If you want to leave the Devil Sect, then go. I'll just pretend that I've never accepted you as my disciple. I … don't want to force you anymore …"

Although it was dangerous to let the tiger return to the mountain and then follow the vine to find the melon, he was the tiger. He knew Mo Haige's abilities very well!

He closed his eyes, as if he was a little hurt, but in reality, his heart didn't waver at all. Instead, Gu Bai's face appeared in his mind.

Seeing this, Gu Bai, who didn't know what he was thinking, couldn't help but think to himself,

Qin Shitian was indeed deeply in love with Mo Haige. There were still some feelings left in his heart. The other party wanted to steal the Devil Sect's treasure, betrayed the Devil Sect, and left. Yet he couldn't bear to kill him and even let him go.

Fortunately, he didn't kill Mo Haige and Jun Yanhan to complete his mission. Otherwise, if he killed Mo Haige, Qin Shitian would have to kill him. If he killed Jun Yanhan, Mo Haige might very well seduce Qin Shitian to kill him for revenge …

As for killing Mo Haige and Jun Yanhan before Jun Yanhan and Jun Yanhan met, he couldn't do it either. That Jun Yanhan's background wasn't simple. If he died, it would cause a lot of trouble.

After coming to this conclusion, Gu Bai glanced at the painting in the secret room. He didn't know why, but he felt vexed. This man was painting his erotic picture while thinking about someone else. They were really a bunch of masochists!

However, regardless of whether Qin Shitian still had any feelings left, as long as he let go of Mo Haige, everyone would be happy. Thinking of this, Gu Bai quietly retreated.

On the other side, after letting Mo Haige go, Qin Shitian immediately had the Devil Guard follow him. In less than two hours, he understood why Mo Haige wanted the Purple Heart Lotus. He was instantly furious.
