Seeing Bai Ren again, Mo Yi was undoubtedly delighted. Especially now that he had regained his original memories, in such a situation, his bond with Bai Ren was even deeper than before.
Confident that no matter what form his partner took, that he would never harm him, Mo Yi expressed his feelings freely.
But upon hearing Mo Yi’s words, Silver Masked True Immortal was completely stunned.
Because his real name was indeed Bai Ren, but nobody had called him by that name for many years.
The only ones who knew his true name were his master, who had passed away, and his senior brother, who had now become the sect leader.
His master had fallen, and the sect leader couldn’t just casually reveal his name to a disciple who had just entered the sect, so how did Mo Yi find out?
Moreover, the implications in Mo Yi’s words seemed to suggest that he had been searching for him all along.
But Bai Ren was certain that he had never met Mo Yi. Furthermore, when they first met today, Mo Yi’s attitude towards him was clearly different from his attitude towards his current form.
So, the other party should not know that the master he had seen today was his current self.
As Bai Ren pondered, Mo Yi noticed that he hadn’t moved or reacted for a long time, and furrowed his brow.
“Bai Ren, what’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten me? Or maybe, you’re not called Bai Ren anymore, and I got the name wrong?”
Upon careful consideration, Mo Yi realized that he might have been impulsive. In this new world, it was possible for the other party not to remember him or for his name to be different.
But what did it matter? They had rediscovered each other, and that was what mattered.
“It doesn’t matter, whether you remember or not, or what name you go by now, as long as it’s you!”
Patting the large octopus tentacle in front of him, Mo Yi smiled. Thinking back to what those people had said about Silver Masked True Immortal being the most disdainful of demon cultivators, he thought his companion was his master, but turned out that his companion wasn’t a demon cultivator after all, just unusually large in size.
To think he doesn’t even have a humanoid form, this life is indeed somewhat miserable.
But why would Silver Masked True Immortal keep such a large marine creature in his cave? Is it because his companion looks good?
It couldn’t be that he’s bringing it back to eat it just because it’s big!
But it shouldn’t be. Mo Yi carefully observed the surroundings. This pool of water was actually quite nice, and there were plenty of spiritual artifacts around. It was clear that a formation had been set up in advance. The more he observed, the more certain he became that going to such lengths couldn’t be for the sake of eating.
There was a very high possibility that his companion was the pet kept by Silver Masked True Immortal.
“Are you now the pet of Silver Masked True Immortal?” Mo Yi asked.

Feeling a bit uneasy, his companion, with blood-red eyes, moved slightly but didn’t seem to intend to answer.

To think that his disciple even thought of him as a pet, it was simply absurd!
Could it be that there was another creature or demon cultivator outside who looked just like him?
Thinking of this, the man felt a bit uncomfortable. But for now, everything couldn’t be confirmed, and he needed time to think about this matter carefully.
Seeing Mo Yi’s expression, he probably wouldn’t tell anyone about his existence. In that case, it should be fine to let him leave like this.
So, Bai Ren directly used a bit of power to create some movement in another chamber.
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Yi heard the sound, he immediately let go and looked back with a vigilant expression.
“No, I can’t stay here anymore.”
Knowing that he had trespassed secretly, Mo Yi didn’t want to be discovered. But with his companion’s size, it was impossible not to be noticed if he took him outside.
Seeing that his companion seemed to be living well here, looking robustly nurtured, it should be fine to stay here temporarily.
So, Mo Yi made a decision and whispered, “There seems to be some activity outside. I have to go. Don’t worry, I’ll come back to find you!”
With that, Mo Yi reluctantly gave Bai Ren’s tentacle another tight squeeze before turning around and leaving, taking three steps and turning his head back twice.
Once he confirmed that Mo Yi had really left the cave, and the seal at the entrance had been restored, Bai Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
However, since there were seals at the entrance, how did Mo Yi manage to enter?
It seemed that his new disciple had quite a few secrets.
Thinking of this, Bai Ren didn’t want to stay in the water pool any longer. He directly transformed into his humanoid form, put on his mask and the artifact that concealed his demonic aura, and then left.
It’s worth mentioning that he was originally a sea demon living near the Red Cloud Mountain’s sea area. Because the flesh of their clan was a holy product for advancing cultivator’s stage, they had always been hunted.
Until later, only one clan escaped to Red Cloud Mountain and lived a comfortable life.
He also worked hard to cultivate and improve his strength, unwilling to be slaughtered like fish.
But when he was cultivating underwater and transforming, he was discovered by a group of demon cultivators who found their traces.
When Bai Ren came out of seclusion and returned to his clan, he saw the scene of his clan being slaughtered by other demon cultivators.
At that time, he was furious and killed all those demon cultivators. However, he also suffered serious injuries and was on the brink of death when he was found by the old sect leader of Red Cloud Mountain at that time.
Originally, he thought he would also fall into the fate of being eaten, but who knew that the old sect leader, seeing that he had opened his spiritual wisdom and that he was the only one left in his clan, took pity on him and secretly brought him back to the sect for treatment.
Seeing Bai Ren recover and transform into his humanoid form, and then directly accepting him as his disciple, providing him with artifacts to conceal his aura, allowing him to live peacefully here, Bai Ren was grateful for the refuge of Red Cloud Mountain. He remembered this favor in his heart, which is why he had been staying here all this time.
Previously, when Red Cloud Mountain faced threats from other sects, Bai Ren had come forward to resolve them. However, he was not a human after all, and had some special racial habits. That’s why he chose to live in this remote place away from the main hall, and created this water pool where he could transform back into his original form every night.
Who would have thought that Mo Yi would see him?
Major sects do consider carefully when accepting disciples, and the basic background still needs to be checked. Before this, Bai Ren had already checked all the information about his disciple, but it only said that he was a child of a wandering cultivator. That cultivator seemed to have some cultivation skills and treated his child well.
After the cultivator passed away, Mo Yi decided to settle down somewhere and participated in the test of Red Cloud Mountain.
But would things really turn out as smoothly as the report? Bai Ren could only suppress his doubts in his heart.
On the other side, Mo Yi returned to his room in a good mood.
He felt that the luckiest thing that happened to him after coming to this small world was being chosen by Silver Masked True Immortal to come here. Otherwise, how could he have found his companion so smoothly?
Putting everything else aside, with the vastness of the sky and earth, his lover was the most important.
Mo Yi rubbed his chin, pondering how to spend time with his companion openly and without guilt. He couldn’t keep sneaking around every time.
Even if his companion was just a demon, it didn’t matter. The creatures in this world could also cultivate. Mo Yi himself was a demon cultivator, so he could naturally guide his companion.
If it took a bit more time, Mo Yi was sure he could get his companion to cultivate just like himself. By then, it wouldn’t be a problem for his companion to transform into a humanoid form.
After spending most of the night devising his strategy, Mo Yi drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
His stomach growled hungrily, prompting Mo Yi to sit up and head out of the door, where he saw Fu Dong’er and Lin Kangping chatting casually by the spiritual field.
Seeing the intimacy between the two, it was clear that there was affection between them.
However, they also noticed Mo Yi coming out. Fu Dong’er smiled and greeted him, “Little junior brother, why are you just waking up? Master said to find him after you woke up.”
“Master asked me to find him?”
Mo Yi thought to himself, wondering if Silver Masked True Immortal had found out about his sneaking in last night.
If that were true, he didn’t know how he would get past it.
With these thoughts in mind, Mo Yi could only nod and go to Bai Ren’s cave.
This time, the seal was opened again, and Mo Yi walked in directly, going to the stone chamber on the left where he saw the man still in the same appearance as yesterday, seemingly waiting for him.
Approaching respectfully, Mo Yi bowed and asked, “Master, did you summon me?”
After speaking, Mo Yi looked up at the man’s face. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything clearly through the mask.
“Mm.” Bai Ren nodded. “You’ve just arrived, are you adapting?”
It sounded like a casual concern, so it seemed that Bai Ren hadn’t discovered Mo Yi’s sneaking in yesterday.
Mo Yi relaxed slightly and smiled, “I’m adapting very well!”
Being able to find his companion here made this place perfect for Mo Yi.
Bai Ren then asked briefly about how Mo Yi found the cultivation techniques he was given yesterday. Mo Yi didn’t really have the mindset for cultivation and couldn’t come up with much of an answer, leaving Bai Ren even more speechless.
The master and disciple stood face to face, staring at each other.
Mo Yi then realized that his master really wasn’t good at chatting. But according to the rumor, the other party was rarely seen interacting with people too.
Mo Yi’s mind turned, and suddenly he said, “Master, as your disciple, I am grateful to be under your teaching. How about letting me serve you? I can help clean the cave and make sure everything is tidy!”
This way, he could visit his companion openly.
Mo Yi’s plan was well thought out, and Bai Ren was momentarily stunned.
Did his disciple really have such filial piety?
But wasn’t there the Cleansing Dust Technique? Cultivators could simply recite the mantra, and the surroundings would be cleaned without the need for manual cleaning.
However, seeing the hopeful look in Mo Yi’s dark eyes, Bai Ren found it hard to refuse.
In the end, Bai Ren couldn’t resist Mo Yi’s gaze and nodded in agreement.
However, before Mo Yi could cheer in delight, he heard Bai Ren say, “The stone chamber on the right doesn’t need cleaning. You only need to clean the stone hall and here.”
Ahhh no I don’t even know who to blame for this. Is it Bai Ren’s fault for being suspicious or Mo Yi’s fault for never learning and acting suspicious? This should be a fun one
Thank you for the chapter!
