Chapter 1187: Wu Daoxuan on the Verge of Madness

"Do not act impulsively from now on."

"First, find a way to gather information and see if you can obtain news regarding the Fox Clan or Youyou."

Wang Jianqiang sent a message to Mu Lingxi.

The identity of Wu Xiner, whom Mu Lingxi was impersonating, was extraordinary; she was the granddaughter of the Fox Clan Leader.

Gathering information was much easier for her than for him.

Two days later, late at night.

Mu Lingxi had just walked out of Wu Xiner's residence.

A voice suddenly came, "Xiner, what a coincidence. I was just looking for you, I didn't expect to run into you by chance."

Mu Lingxi turned her head to look, and a figure came into view; a sweet smile bloomed on her face, "It's Xuan Ge."

"It's so late, does Xuan Ge have something to see Xiner about?"

Wu Daoxuan smiled, "I remember you like admiring the moon the most. You once said that every time you admire the moon in the dead of night, your heart settles down along with it."

"I observed that the moonlight is beautiful tonight, so I thought about going to admire the moon with you."

"So that's how it is; it really is a bit unfortunate, Xuan Ge." Mu Lingxi revealed a look of regret.

"What's wrong, Xiner?" Wu Daoxuan was startled.

Mu Lingxi sighed, "I have some urgent matters that need to be handled, I'm afraid I must disappoint Xuan Ge's good intentions."

Wu Daoxuan was startled, then immediately laughed, "Xiner, you speak too seriously. Since you have urgent matters to attend to, the moon-admiring can be done another day."

"You go ahead and get busy."

"Mm."

Mu Lingxi nodded and walked along a winding path.

Wu Daoxuan watched that back figure gradually disappearing into the moonlit night, his expression flickering.

After hesitating for a moment, his figure flashed, and he followed.

On the winding path.

Mu Lingxi walked forward unhurriedly.

A moment later.

She seemed to have sensed something, her expression shifting.

Her red lips curled slightly.

Immediately, her expression quickly recovered.

In the darkness, Wu Daoxuan hid in the void, watching Wu Xiner's back, his expression suspicious, "Xiner rarely goes out at night to handle matters; what exactly is she going to do?"

Not long after.

When a building appeared not far away, Wu Daoxuan's brows suddenly furrowed.

He recognized that building.

It was precisely Wu Lei's residence.

A moment later.

Wu Xiner arrived before the door of Wu Lei's residence and gently knocked on Wu Lei's door.

Creak~

The door opened, and a figure appeared; it was indeed Wu Lei.

After Wu Lei saw Wu Xiner, he chatted and laughed with Wu Xiner for a few sentences, after which Wu Xiner entered Wu Lei's residence.

Bang~

Following a soft sound, the door to Wu Lei's residence closed.

At the same time.

The Array outside the residence activated, completely shielding it from outside perception.

Wu Daoxuan walked out from the darkness, looking at that tightly closed door, his expression turning ugly.

Xiner had actually come to find Wu Lei!

Associating this with the rare words of concern Wu Xiner had spoken to Wu Lei when she returned, a feeling of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

Could it be that Xiner had already accepted Wu Lei's pursuit?

Immediately following.

He thought again of how Wu Xiner and Wu Lei had left the Fox Clan one after the other previously, not returning for several months.

And then they returned one after the other...

He hadn't thought much of it before.

Now that he thought about it, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a secret meeting the two had pre-arranged!

Such a long time...

Everything that should have happened and everything that shouldn't have happened had probably already happened, right?

Thinking of this.

He suddenly felt his head itching, as if some kind of plant was sprouting out, and a scent of nature rushed toward his nose.

Scoundrel!

How could Xiner do this?

He was the grandson-in-law privately designated by the Clan Leader.

His expression shifted repeatedly.

Subconsciously, he wanted to step forward to smash Wu Lei's residence and beat Wu Lei to death.

But immediately after, he held it back.

All of this was merely his own conjecture.

Perhaps Xin Er had other matters to discuss with Wu Lei, who could say.

It was better to wait and observe the changes; it would not be too late to act once everything was certain.

Holding onto this sliver of hope, he suppressed the urge to act immediately.

However, he did not leave either.

Instead, he hid himself with a gloomy expression, preparing to find Wu Xiner the moment she came out to question her thoroughly.

……

"You girl, you are too reckless; why did you bring that Wu Daoxuan here?"

After closing the door, Wang Jianqiang pulled Mu Lingxi over and gave her a hard smack.

"Senior Brother, I've been wronged; I did it for your own good." Mu Lingxi exclaimed, rubbing her bottom with a face full of grievance.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

Mu Lingxi straightened her expression, "Speaking of this, I must first start with another matter."

"The matter you asked me to inquire about, I have already inquired."

"The Fox Clan Clan Leader does not know Tushan Youyou, nor has he heard the slightest bit of information about Tushan Youyou."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Wang Jianqiang's expression remained calm.

It seemed he had long anticipated this result.

Seeing this, a smug smile appeared on Mu Lingxi's pretty face, "However, I did find out about another matter."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred, "What matter?"

"Half a year from now, the Ancient Fox Domain Fox Clan main branch will hold an Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony," Mu Lingxi said.

"Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred.

Mu Lingxi nodded, "The so-called Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony is held every hundred years and is the grandest gathering within the Fox Clan main branch."

"At the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony, the main branch and the prodigies of all the branch clans will mix together to hold a great competition."

"For the main branch prodigies, this competition is merely a trial, but for the prodigies of the various branch clans, it is of vital importance, concerning the allocation of resources from the main branch to their own clans for the next hundred years..."

"The Wuling Domain Fox Clan will also go to participate."

"Three months from now, the Wuling Domain Fox Clan will hold a Clan Assembly, where they will select the strongest prodigy within the clan through battles to enter the Ancient Fox Domain main branch and participate in the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's eyes had already lit up.

If he could win this spot to enter the main branch, he could not only use the Fox Clan's Transmission Array without leaving a single trace, but also perfectly infiltrate the Fox Clan main branch.

This would provide convenience for finding Tushan Youyou.

How well Mu Lingxi understood Wang Jianqiang.

The two had spent many years together and had long since cultivated a deep tacit understanding.

Upon seeing the change in Wang Jianqiang's expression, a moving smile appeared on her pretty face, "I knew you would definitely want this spot, Senior Brother, so I laid out a plan for you in advance."

Wang Jianqiang's expression stirred, lost in thought.

Mu Lingxi smiled, "Wu Daoxuan is currently the strongest prodigy within the Wuling Domain Fox Clan and has already Manifested Will; he is the greatest obstacle to Senior Brother taking the spot for the Ancestral Sacrifice Ceremony."

"And Wu Lei has only just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection realm and has not yet Manifested Will."

"If Senior Brother wants to defeat Wu Daoxuan without exposing yourself, it is very difficult."

"Therefore, Junior Sister is prepared to send Wu Daoxuan a great Tribulation of the Inner Demon, causing him to develop a fatal flaw; when that time comes, Senior Brother can defeat him in the guise of Wu Lei, and it will not arouse suspicion."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang finally reacted, smiling as he pinched Mu Lingxi's cheek, "You really are a clever little girl."

Mu Lingxi giggled, "Senior Brother, isn't this the principle you taught me? Since we are going to act, we naturally have to be a bit more realistic."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Acting is naturally no problem for Senior Brother, but whether it is realistic or not is determined by Junior Sister."

……

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.

Outside Wu Lei's residence.

Wu Daoxuan had already entered a state of being on the verge of losing control.

His face was livid, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was like a wild beast about to lose its sanity.

It had been nearly a month!

Ever since Wu Xiner came to Wu Lei's residence, nearly a month had passed, and during this period, Wu Xiner and Wu Lei had not appeared again!

What on earth were they doing?

The sense of foreboding in Wu Daoxuan's heart had reached its extreme, and the aura on his body fluctuated violently.

His palms were clenched into fists, and the light on his fists grew increasingly intense.

Just as he could not hold back and wanted to forcibly break into Wu Lei's residence.

The door to Wu Lei's residence, which had been tightly shut for nearly a month, finally opened again, and a figure walked out from within.
