Chapter 864: Just Don't Slip Away

Liu Yanran shook her head, "Many thanks for your concern, Senior Brother Luo, I am just a bit tired."

"I am going back to rest now, so I will not speak further with Senior Brother."

Once these words fell, he turned and entered his residence.

Luo Ming opened his mouth, but the words that had not yet been spoken were suddenly choked back.

He sighed.

It seemed Junior Sister Liu's anger had not yet dissipated.

Better wait a while longer.

Once more time had passed and the events of that time had faded, perhaps Junior Sister Liu would be able to accept his apology and restore their relationship.

In the Cultivation Room.

Wang Jianqiang had been in the midst of recovery.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but his physical strength and Spiritual Power had fully recovered.

His slightly closed eyes slowly opened.

Immediately, a charming face came into view.

"Recovered?"

Xuan Ji's red lips curved slightly as she looked at Wang Jianqiang with a smile.

Wang Jianqiang's expression flickered, then he rose unhurriedly and bowed to Xuan Ji, "Greetings, Senior."

Xuan Ji smiled, her slender fingers pinching Wang Jianqiang's chin and lifting it slightly, "Since you have recovered, let us begin."

"Wait a moment, Senior."

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly retreated two steps.

Xuan Ji frowned and was about to say something when she suddenly saw Wang Jianqiang swallow a Pill.

Her expression stirred, and she then laughed, "A Pill?"

"The gap in the level of life cannot be made up for by ordinary pills."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "That is not necessarily true."

Five days later.

Wang Jianqiang returned to the main hall with his head held high and his chest puffed out, feeling refreshed and having the urge to laugh toward the sky three times.

After a good while.

A figure followed into the main hall.

"You..."

"What exactly was that Pill?"

Xuan Ji looked at Wang Jianqiang, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "An Ancient Pill that can temporarily raise one's level of life."

Xuan Ji realized, and then a flash of heat crossed her eyes, "How many more are there?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and casually reported a number, "A few dozen, I suppose."

"Good, I will come find you again tomorrow."

Having said this, her figure flashed and disappeared.

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze.

What exactly is going on with this Xuan Ji?

This behavior does not look like she is just having a conflict with the Youyun Holy Lord and simply wants to take revenge on him.

Could it be...

The Youyun Holy Lord is not very capable?

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly entered the Spirit God Ring to continue refining pills.

The next day.

Xuan Ji arrived on time.

Five days later.

Xuan Ji left Wang Jianqiang's residence with a glowing face.

After returning to her own residence, she was just preparing to rest for a while.

A Spirit Light suddenly flashed, and a figure appeared in the room.

"What are you here for?"

Xuan Ji raised her beautiful eyes slightly to look at the Youyun Holy Lord.

The Youyun Holy Lord smiled, "Can I not come to see you if there is nothing wrong?"

Xuan Ji only looked coldly at the Youyun Holy Lord without speaking.

The Youyun Holy Lord sighed, "Xuan Ji, I know you still like me, and I have already explained it to you; why must you keep being so cold to me?"

"My cultivation technique is about to reach Major Accomplishment; can we not return to how things were before?"

"What are you here for?"

Xuan Ji's expression did not change in the slightest, and she repeated the words she had just said, her tone remaining icy.

The Youyun Holy Lord shook his head, "How is your surveillance of Wen Tiansheng going? Has he made any unusual moves?"

Xuan Ji's gaze flickered.

Surveillance of Wen Tiansheng?

Apart from the time she spent monitoring Wen Tiansheng at the very beginning, and the moment she inadvertently overheard the conflict between Wan Guiyuan and Luo Ming as well as witnessed the scene of entering the residence of Jiuyou, she had been busy ever since.

Where would she have the time to look after monitoring Wen Tiansheng?

Of course.

Although that was the fact, one could not put it that way.

Regarding this Dao Companion of hers, she still felt some apprehension in her heart.

"No abnormalities discovered."

She said in a cold, indifferent voice.

Hearing Xuan Ji's tone, Youyun Holy Lord did not suspect anything.

He nodded, pondered for a moment, and continued, "In five days, it will be the time for Xuandao and Jiuyou to hold their wedding ceremony, and many Daoist Friends will come to observe the ceremony then."

"Although Xuandao is a descendant of the lineage born to me and my first Dao Companion, he has no direct relationship with you."

"But you are, after all, the current Saint Lord's Wife, and the good reputation of us as a couple has already spread throughout Youzhou; so as not to let the various Daoist Friends of Youzhou make a joke of us, you need to attend the ceremony with me."

Xuan Ji's eyes flashed, and she did not speak.

Seeing that Xuan Ji still maintained an icy appearance, Youyun Holy Lord sighed and was about to leave.

Suddenly.

As if he had discovered something, he looked at Xuan Ji with a face full of concern, "You look a bit exhausted; is something making you uncomfortable?"

Xuan Ji's heart skipped a beat, but her outward expression remained cold, "That has nothing to do with you."

Youyun Holy Lord's expression froze.

He shook his head, did not continue to ask, and with a flash of his figure, he disappeared.

Seeing Youyun Holy Lord leave, Xuan Ji breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Looking at the place where Youyun Holy Lord had disappeared, a trace of hatred flashed deep in her eyes.

……

After Xuan Ji left.

Wang Jianqiang was refining a Spirit Tool to accumulate Cultivation Points.

Suddenly, he received a message from Wen Tiansheng.

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, poured his Spirit Sense into it, and a gentle voice entered his mind.

"Guiyuan, why haven't you gone out at all during this period?"

"Are you cultivating?"

"Also, what about that Disciple from Youyun Holy Land who came to your residence that day? Why haven't I seen them since, and how have things developed between you two?"

"Don't be in such a rush to cultivate; I have high hopes for you. The hope of venting our Beast Taming Sect's anger lies entirely with you; you must go out and cause trouble."

"If you don't cause trouble, how can we provoke that old thing Luo Ling? How can we make him angry?"

"If he doesn't get angry, how can the grievances suffered by our Beast Taming Sect, the grievances you've suffered, and the grievances I've suffered be vented?"

"You must go out and stir up trouble."

"Be a good boy, let's stop cultivating and go out to stir up trouble; if that doesn't work, why don't we try killing a Core Disciple of Youyun Holy Land for fun?"

……

After listening to that long string of messages in the Sound Transmission Talisman, Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but click his tongue.

Isn't this Wen Tiansheng a bit too black-bellied?

Does he really have a blood relationship with Wen Ya?

This personality doesn't seem very similar either.

Could it be a distant relation?

He shook his head and sent a message back to Wen Tiansheng, "Sect Master, rest assured, everything is arranged; I'm just waiting for you to back me up."

"Just make sure you don't get scared and sneak away when the time comes."
