“Keep a close watch on the Eastern Continent. Find out who is getting close to the Yun family of the Southern Continent. Kill them on sight once discovered. And also…”
Rong Jue was facing away from Hei Ying. He paused briefly before continuing, “Go to the Yun family immediately and inform Patriarch Yun that if he does not agree to make Yue Xuanji the deputy sect leader, he will not live to see tomorrow’s sunrise.”
Hei Ying, who was always decisive, couldn’t help but be taken aback by Rong Jue’s command this time.
Only after a moment did he respectfully respond with a “Yes.”
His young master had come to the Southern Continent precisely because he despised that place. He never liked meddling in others’ affairs and disliked dealing with people even more.
Now that the young master had suddenly undergone such a drastic change, it was only natural for him to feel astonished.
“Young Master, the family head sent a letter just two days ago. He wants you to…” Before Hei Ying could finish his sentence, he felt an icy chill descend upon him from above, causing him to shiver involuntarily. “This subordinate has overstepped. Spare me, Young Master. I’ll leave immediately.”
Hei Ying vanished in an instant, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.
He was the only person the young master had brought with him when he left home. It was only after countless beatings for saying the wrong things that he had earned his trust. He couldn’t afford to be driven away by the young master now for speaking out of turn.
If he couldn’t stay by the young master’s side, the family would completely lose any news of him…
So, he was now a man shouldering a heavy responsibility, indeed…
Patriarch Yun of the Yun family, right?
The young master had never paid such close attention to anyone before. It seemed this person had managed to displease the young master. Good! Beat him up first and talk later.
After Hei Ying left, Rong Jue entered the Cultivation Chamber.
As for Jun Lanyue, she had only been in a cultivation state for a short while when she felt an intense fullness in her Dantian—it was filled to the brim with accumulated spiritual energy.
Every time her Dantian became completely saturated with spiritual energy, it was time for a Breakthrough.
Jin Wang Wang: [Host, finding someone to beat you up isn’t very realistic. How about this—I have a good idea. Do you want to hear it?]
Jun Lanyue carefully sensed the changes in her Dantian and the meridians throughout her body while answering Jin Wang Wang’s question: [You want to say that finding someone to beat me up isn’t realistic, so instead, find something non-human to beat me up, right?]
Jin Wang Wang hadn’t expected its host to guess its thoughts so quickly.
It nodded: [North of the Mysterious Heaven Sect lies the endless Spirit Beast Forest, inhabited by countless spirit beasts. I think the host could give it a try there.]
It hadn’t expected the cheat ability to be so effective. Its host had only been beaten up once, and her strength had already advanced by a small stage.
The spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Forest were extremely aggressive. There was no need to provoke them—they would attack almost anyone on sight. Wouldn’t she be afraid of not getting beaten up then?
[I think this suggestion is quite good. Mainly because my primary attribute is Thunder. If I want to cultivate a technique of this attribute, I’ll need to find a spacious place. The Spirit Beast Forest is a perfect spot.]
Yue Xuanji, eavesdropping next door while stroking his beard, knew that his little disciple possessed the Thunder attribute and had also wanted to find a suitable technique for her.
However, time was too short to find something appropriate quickly. Moreover, Thunder attribute cultivators were already rare, and Thunder Attribute Techniques were even scarcer—especially a good one. He had been considering whether to return home and ask his family to help search for one when Jun Lanyue’s inner voice sounded again.
【The fragrant senior sister is indeed of the Thunder Attribute. In the plot, Yun Luo Chen went to great lengths to find a technique for the senior sister, paying a considerable price. That technique was quite formidable—when it struck someone, they wouldn’t even make a sound.】
At this moment, everyone who heard her thoughts: Yun Luo Chen! Hand over the technique!
Jin Wang Wang: 【Host, that’s your fragrant senior sister! Are you really going to steal her technique? Without that technique, your fragrant senior sister’s strength won’t progress as quickly. Thunder Attribute Techniques are extremely rare, and finding a good one is very difficult.】
It wasn’t that Jin Wang Wang was siding with outsiders; it just felt that if its host really intended to steal it, it would be somewhat unethical and not in line with its host’s usual style.
Sure enough, Jun Lanyue shook her head as Jin Wang Wang had internally predicted: 【How could I possibly steal something from my senior sister? I was just thinking that Yun Luo Chen obtained that technique through an auction. I just don’t know which auction it was or where it took place. I want to ruin him! Ruin him so thoroughly that he loses everything! As for the technique, having transmigrated 100 times, I’ve long since developed a unique Thunder Attribute Technique for myself.】
Yue Xuanji: Brilliant! Amazing!
Yun Xiao: Hehehe! Here comes the chance to stir the pot.
Feeling that she was about to achieve a breakthrough, Jun Lanyue didn’t waste any more words and took a deep breath.
【Later, I’ll go find the senior sister and ask if Yun Luo Chen has any plans to attend an auction recently.】
Yun Xiao: I’ll handle the inquiry! Let me, the pot-stirrer, take care of it.
A comfortable warmth flowed through her entire body. Jun Lanyue clearly felt her body becoming much lighter, as if every pore was breathing.
【So comfortable! Breaking through two minor stages in such a short time—A Wang, there aren’t many cultivation prodigies like me, are there?】
Jin Wang Wang: 【Host, you’re so shameless!】
【Am I the kind of person who cares about face?】
In just a few days, Jun Lanyue had advanced from the Great Spirit Master stage to Spirit King Second Stage. Her last breakthrough was on the night she first arrived at the Clear Breeze Sect, and this time, only a few days had passed since then. Such a cultivation speed would be shocking if word got out.
When she came out of her room, Yun Xiao had already left, and Pei Yan was cleaning up the dishes.
“Second Senior Brother, where are the First Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother?”
Jun Lanyue looked around but didn’t see any trace of Rong Jue or Song Qiguang.
She knew a bit about Rong Jue—that big ice block was probably cultivating.
That person was quite boring. In his free time, he would just cultivate, as if he didn’t know how to do anything else.
“First Senior Brother is probably cultivating. As for Third Junior Brother, he’s likely cultivating as well.”
After saying this, Pei Yan finished cleaning up the dishes. He took off his apron, looking every bit the handsome and warm homemaker.
“Then I won’t disturb them. Second Senior Brother, come take a walk with me, okay?”
Compared to Rong Jue and Song Qiguang, Pei Yan, who usually focused on alchemy, was much weaker in strength.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry, always saying that one couldn’t excel at everything and that it was best to let things take their natural course.
“Alright.”
Pei Yan doted on Jun Lanyue immensely and smiled as he accompanied her down Clear Breeze Peak.
In the Cultivation Chamber, Rong Jue’s eyelids fluttered slightly, his eyelashes trembling faintly.
It was just as well that she didn’t call him to go—it saved him from having to see that annoying woman, Shen Guiyi.
Song Qiguang, however, couldn’t sit still.
Little Junior Sister actually didn’t call him? Was he, the Third Senior Brother, the kind of person who was obsessed with cultivation? Why did she have to be so considerate of him? Couldn’t she just not think about him?
Hearing the footsteps fade into the distance, he sighed helplessly. Oh well, there were still important matters to attend to.
If he wasn’t mistaken, that lightning-based cultivation technique would likely appear at the Peerless Auction House—and coincidentally, the Peerless Auction House belonged to him.
Jun Lanyue and Pei Yan walked at a leisurely pace. She wasn’t in any hurry to head straight for Star Moon Peak, where Yun Luo Chen and his disciple were staying.
She knew her limits. Yun Luo Chen probably wished he could strangle her right now—how could he possibly let her set foot there?
If she wanted to see her senior sister, she would have to come up with another plan.
