A knock on the door.
"Who"
Bai Lian pulled open the door and first saw only a pair of white eyes.
She blinked her eyes and struggled out of the white. "Elder Two, what brings you here"
"An old man like me can't just come and greet the Saintess, can he" Elder Two chuckled. The smile on his withered face should have been kind, but because his eyes were only white, it looked very sinister: "Saintess, your cultivation has improved a lot. It is truly a blessing for our Bai Gu Dao."
"Where Elder, you are the pillar of heaven and earth for our sect, the purple gold beam supporting the sea."
"Hahaha. Don't you intend to let this old man come in and have a seat"
“This…” Bai Lian’s eyes showed displeasure: “After all, I'm a young lady, it wouldn't be convenient, would it”
“I’ve watched the Saintess grow up since she was a child. You are like my own daughter to me, is there anything I can’t do for you” said Elder Two as he squeezed into the room.
He looked at her up and down, seemingly casually asking: "Why is the Saintess wearing a night veil in her own room within the temple"
Blanc blinked. "Such natural beauty, one must keep a low profile."
"Hahaha..." Er Chang's big laugh suddenly stopped. "Ou Yang is back, I smell his scent."
"This is great! It wasn't for nothing that we put in so much effort and sacrificed so many undercover agents to protect him along the way. Where is the Grand Elder"
>Who could possibly guess what he's thinking
>
"You wouldn't even guess, and I have no idea either."
“Is it that you don’t know, or are you just not willing to know”
“There’s no need for others to know about it,” Bai Lianjiao smiled playfully. “Matters concerning the sect should be left to the elders to decide. I shall just wait for news.”
Elder Two looked deeply at her, then stood up and walked out.
As he stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped: "Why is the Saintess so easy to talk to today"
Please note: I removed the unnecessary "" from your input. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Bai Lian chuckled softly: "You're making too much of it. When have I ever been difficult to talk to If I occasionally get a bit hot-headed, it's all for the sake of our sect's important affairs, isn't it"
The second elder finally left, and the oppressive feeling that hung in the room seemed to be cut off by the door.
Perhaps this is the final test.

Bai Lian whispered softly.
She sat quietly for a while, making sure no one would come to disturb her. Only then did she lay out a chessboard, open the wardrobe, and pull out Jiang Wang, who had his eyes closed tightly, throwing him onto the bed.
At this time, Jiang Wang was sealed within the Five Senses, the only way to avoid those eyes that were left only with whites.
The White Lotus Seal, unsealing the five senses.
Jiang Wang abruptly stood up, looked at Bai Lian, and remained silent, hand on his sword.
Although he had been in a state of five sense seal, unable to hear the conversation between Bai Lian and the Second Elder, by emptying his five senses and calming his mind, he was also repeatedly thinking about today's events.
"You can ask me anything, just go ahead." Bai Lian walked to the table and sat down.
"You saved me again." Jiang Wang's voice was a bit difficult.
Bai Lian smiled: "It's nothing to write home about."
>
"This is the lair of the Bai Gu Dao. Are you from the Bai Gu Dao" Jiang Wang asked.
“We are all from the Taoist sect.” Bai Lian said.
It was pointless to argue with her about whether the White Bone Dao belonged to the orthodox sect of Taoism. Jiang Wang repeated, "I only ask you, are you from the White Bone Dao"
“It wasn’t me.” Bai Lian extended her jade finger, tapping Jiang Wang: “It was us.”
"What does it mean"
"I wasn't going to tell you this so soon, because your 'transformation' isn't complete yet." Bai Lian sighed and asked, "But since you're here today, you won't rest until you get an answer, will you"
Jiang Wang didn't answer her question, but asked: "So today Fang He Ling came to Niutoushan, is it a trap Against whom"
The White Bone Messenger's move was not directed at anyone in particular. Tonight, whoever followed Fang Hualing would die here. Anyway, we are abandoning this place immediately. You and the Dark Watch of the Criminal Investigation Department just happened to be here.
The White Bone Demon will soon leave Mount Niu Head.
Jiang Wang keenly grasped this information, but he set it aside. He countered with: "What does 'transformation' mean And who are 'we'"
"The white bone lotus on your back, the flesh-soul return art you suddenly mastered... Doesn't this make you think"
"You've always known me so well, this might all be part of your plan. The white bone lotus could have been tattooed on me while I was unconscious, and the meat-soul reincarnation technique you gave me... maybe through some means...I can't possibly be related to the White Bone Sect!"
“As for modifying memories, I can’t do that,” Bai Lian suddenly laughed. “However, I have always been very interested in you, even when you were a beggar…”
Jiang Wang was startled!
To escape Fang Peng's pursuit, he disguised himself as a beggar and barely survived at the Hanzhen Temple. That was before his meridians were even open. White Lotus had been observing him since then
Bai Lian quickly explained: "Back then, when you beggars settled in the True View Monastery, it was a choice you made under our guidance."
Her voice was soft: "Huan Zhen, this is a very meaningful place, a place chosen by the gods. As early as when Zuo Guanglie died in battle, I was curious, so many beggars died, why did you survive Could it be just a coincidence"
Why did you return to the Daoist temple later, and your cultivation immediately improved by leaps and bounds
You must have noticed it too, right
After opening your meridian, your cultivation speed will surpass that of ordinary people.
Most importantly, you can devour the White Bone Dao species, you can perfectly adapt to the White Bone Dao secret art, you will have the art of returning soul and flesh! You are not ordinary, you are the son of the White Bone Dao!

Then Bai Lian finally said, "It was later that I understood, your appearance at Zhen Guan was indeed the arrangement of the Divine Lord."
"No, no!" Jiang Wang shook his head. He believed his cultivation came from the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm, and had nothing to do with someone like Bai Gu Daozi. But the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm was his biggest secret now, and he couldn't use it as proof.
"I'm afraid you might say one thing with your mouth, but cry silently in your heart."

"What kind of talk is this!" Jiang Wang stepped back: "I've said it before, I can never forgive what Bai Gu Dao did. And I could never collude with you, we are not on the same side!"
That's because you haven't seen the truth of this world clearly, haven't thoroughly eradicated your hypocrisy, and haven't found your true self.
“I understand who I am, I don't need you to remind me.” Jiang Wang tried his best to control his emotions, allowing himself to calm down and think.
"What do you mean by the White Bone Dao lineage" he asked.
"This is something very precious, and I only have one. It can absorb the nutrients of the parasite to grow, and finally perfectly control the parasite. But I didn't expect it to be swallowed by you... So you see, Dao seeds naturally wouldn't work on Dao children!"
Jiang Wang looked at her coldly: "Have you tried to parasitize me"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Bai Lian's rare gaze held a hint of apology: "Back then, we didn't know each other well..."
“I’m not familiar with you now, you make me feel very strange!” Jiang Wang said coldly: “Don't say any more! I absolutely won't believe that I am Bai Gu Dao Zi. Even if it is true, I will never collude with you group of heartless beasts!”
A "even if," although expressing determination, also reveals hesitation.
Bai Lian didn't rush to make a point about this, but instead asked, "Is it more heartless to raise ferocious beasts and disregard the lives of the people Or is it more heartless to extract the essence of aquatic creatures to refine Kaimai Pills"
"You can't shake my resolve with words!" Jiang Wang's voice was firm, as if such conviction were not enough to resist the pressure he was enduring.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
He took deep, calming breaths, confirming his resolve: "Bai Lian, since our paths diverge, we should part ways. As I said, my life is yours to take back now."
Bai Lian's eyes were incredibly beautiful, with a mix of anger and resentment, her gaze filled with autumnal longing. She stared intently at Jiang Wang with those eyes.
“How could I bear to kill you” she softened her voice, speaking softly. “But, as long as you cooperate, I can erase your memories from tonight. Just pretend nothing happened. You’ll remember everything that happened tonight only when you're fully awake.”
"Are you trying to steal the bell while covering your ears"
"No, it's just not the right time."
Bai Lian got up and pushed in. Before Jiang Wang could react, she pressed him onto the bed and sat down.
>
"Look into my eyes," she said. "I don't have the power to manipulate memories. I've only used a spell to temporarily seal this fragment of memory, so you must let go of your mind and fully cooperate. If something goes wrong, at best you'll suffer mental instability, at worst your soul will be scattered."
Jiang Wang knew deep down that this was the best choice.

Tonight he trespassed into Mount Niutou, stepping into the lair of bandits. He should have died a gruesome death.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The lotus has concealed everything, already saving his life. But no matter what, he cannot return to Fenglin City with the secrets of the White Bone Path.
And he would rather die than consort with the White Bone Demon.
Now he can postpone the choice he has to make without having to die.
Jiang Wang completely opened his heart and mind, allowing his consciousness to be engulfed by countless lotus petals.
He felt a warmth and embrace, along with a longing.
Then, in this boundless sea of lotus petals, he saw a lotus bud drifting toward him.
It grew taller and taller until it was level with Jiang Wang's gaze.

Then the lotus flower bloomed, and at its center was not a stamen, nor a pod.
...but...a black candle!
