Chapter 106: Old Xu Next Door
Inside the room, the young man whose body had been hollowed out knelt before Wei Yuan, currently telling his story. The other person sat cross-legged on the bed, facing away from this side, behind a Dao power barrier that isolated the inside from the outside.
"My name is Xu Wenwu, and I come from another world. After graduating from university, I couldn't find a job, so I just stayed at home... Oh, university is about the same as an academy here...
... That night, I was watching some edge-ball content, and then it went black before my eyes. When I woke up, I was here...
... After coming to this world, I searched all the way, but never met a wise master...
... Immortal! I am very useful, I understand a lot, I will definitely help you! With me assisting, we will definitely be able to make the whole world crawl at our feet. From now on, you are the boss, and I am the second-in-command!...
... Don't worry, Big Brother, in the future I will definitely achieve merit that shakes the master and have the yellow robe draped over me..."
Wei Yuan sealed his mouth with Dao power; otherwise, he didn't know how long this guy would babble on.
This Xu Wenwu's words were astonishing, but it wasn't as if visitors from beyond the heavens hadn't appeared among the human race in the past. However, those people all had great achievements. For example, the one who proposed the Immortal Sect Unified Examination had already reached the pinnacle when their identity as a visitor from beyond the heavens was exposed. Since they had already entered the Immortal Gate, their identity and origin were no longer important.
Yet, the person before Wei Yuan truly lacked the demeanor of a visitor from beyond the heavens. The moment Wei Yuan set him down, he knelt on his own, then rambled on and on, mostly painting a beautiful future after dominating the world, such as filling his harem with all the females. From time to time, he would even interject with some insights on voyeurism.
Although Wei Yuan didn't know why people from that world liked to watch the edges of tables and chairs, just from the fact that he couldn't say half a sentence about how to dominate, he knew he was a straw bag.
Wei Yuan suddenly remembered a person he had seen in the Wan Xiang Hall back then, a human-rank Dao Foundation 【Style Makeup】. If that world were full of people like Xu Wenwu, this Dao Foundation would be invincible.
Moreover, this Xu Wenwu's body was frail, and his Body Forging was about equal to nothing. If he were thrown into the Northern Frontier, let alone Liao cavalry, he couldn't even beat a Liao horse. And he still wanted to dominate the world?
Come to think of it, this guy had been in this world for more than half a month, but he hadn't really understood the situation of this world. After arriving at the Lying Flat Inn, he was like a mouse falling into a rice pile, reading storybooks for more than ten days, day and night without rest. The shopkeeper's collection of books was almost unable to keep up.
At least he knew the times and wanted to cling to Wei Yuan to dominate the world along the way, not intending to go it alone. However, Wei Yuan felt that dominating the world wasn't urgent; let's pay off the debt first. Besides, there were quite a few serious Immortal Lords in this world; wanting to dominate would probably require cultivating for thousands of years to have a possibility.
Up to this very moment, Wei Yuan still couldn't figure out why this guy had the virtue and ability to consume an entire strand of his Qi Luck to suppress? If he were allowed to stay up late and read storybooks for a few more days, maybe he would have gone back on his own.
Wei Yuan temporarily put Xu Wenwu aside, removed the Dao power barrier, and said to the person on the bed: "What about you? Who are you?"
The person on the bed turned around. It was no longer the appearance of an ordinary young person, but revealed a pure and tranquil little face, as elegant and clean as a piece of jade paper, completely out of place in Quliu Town. When she looked at Wei Yuan, her face was full of resentment.
She got off the bed, bowed gracefully to Wei Yuan, and said: "This lowly woman is Xu Waner, greetings to Senior Brother. My father is Xu Zhijie, who once served as the Prefect of Ningxi Commandery."
This was someone with a real background.
Wei Yuan recalled the information. The six-thousand-li shattered domain was originally divided into four commanderies. Ningxi Commandery was the largest and also the one furthest to the west, with a radius of two thousand five hundred li. The Xu family's cave heaven and the Lan Shen Palace were originally located in Ningxi Commandery. Prefect Xu Zhijie also came from the Xu family, but one year before the great war, he was taken down for embezzling military pay and colluding with foreign tribes, and was beheaded not long after. This matter was even written into the local gazetteer, and he could be said to have left a bad name for ten thousand years.
Seeing Xu Waner, Xu Wenwu's eyes went straight, and he looked like he wanted to say something. Wei Yuan pointed a finger, and he was stuck to the wall again, only this time facing inward. Wei Yuan remained calm and asked: "Why did you kill Wang Lang and throw the corpse into my courtyard?"
Xu Waner subconsciously said: "It wasn't me..."
But she saw Wei Yuan's gaze, and her body trembled, saying: "Senior Brother's eyes are like torches; it was indeed me. I originally disguised myself as a female cultivator with only shallow cultivation, pretending to be caught by Wang Lang, and then mixed into his team to head west, so as to avoid interception and capture by those people. It was just that after arriving outside the town, Wang Lang, for some reason, actually wanted to commit an outrage against me. It just so happened that Sister Yun discovered you were very concerned about Wang Lang, so I killed him, and by the way, wanted to test if you were the person Sister Yun was looking for."
"Which Sister Yun?"
"Yun Feifei. Sister Yun was originally the Saintess of Lan Shen Palace, and I have known her for a long time. Later, when my father had an accident, it was she who saved me, and then she kept helping me escape the pursuit of those people. After the destruction of Lan Shen Palace, she was also hunted down, and we had to separate and hide separately."
"Then what if I wasn't the person you were looking for?" Wei Yuan asked.
"Wang Lang was going to be killed anyway, so if it wasn't you, it wasn't you. Wang Lang's bounty was also set by me; even if I didn't do it, someone else would have come to kill him." After explaining, Xu Waner said softly: "I have a presumptuous request, Senior Brother, could you..."
Wei Yuan interrupted her: "Since it is a presumptuous request, then there is no need to say it. Where is Yun Feifei?"
Xu Waner stared at Wei Yuan with resentment again and said: "Sister Yun is not here, but I have a way to contact her, only the magic tool to contact her is now in Senior Brother's hands."
Wei Yuan waved his hand, and a pile of magic tools and various searched items appeared on the bed, among which were several intimate items. Xu Waner's face turned as red as if it were on fire, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Wei Yuan, hurriedly digging out a jade pendant and handing it to Wei Yuan, not touching anything else.
!.
Wei Yuan probed with his divine sense and understood that this was a very brilliant messaging magic tool. Input the content, and the message would appear on another identical jade pendant. The range of this type of magic tool varied; for example, Wei Yuan had a jade plaque bestowed by the Tinghai Xianjun, which could transmit messages within one hundred thousand li. Xu Waner's pendant could probably transmit within a thousand li.
"Ask her where she is and how to rendezvous?"
Xu Waner input Dao power into the jade pendant in front of Wei Yuan and transmitted the message. After a moment, the jade pendant flickered, and a short text appeared: "Meet at the old site of Lan Shen Palace; there are cave heaven fragments falling there, which can avoid strong enemies."
After this message appeared, the jade pendant lost its luster, having exhausted its magic power.
Wei Yuan scrutinized Xu Waner and asked: "Why did you think I was the person you were looking for? Didn't you think of a way to verify it?"
"I have never seen a figure with such bearing as Senior Brother in the Xu family's ancestral home. I suppose only the Grand Void Palace could teach someone like Senior Brother. Besides, Senior Brother has a great bearing and brilliant methods; I hid so well, yet I was caught by Senior Brother in an instant."
