CHAPTER 558: CHAPTER 331: HOW ABOUT YOU GO AND DEAL WITH HER?

"..."

Their gaze immediately locked onto the doorway.

In a simple and elegant long dress, face calm, hair neatly tied up at the back with a bow, looking youthful and energetic, it was clearly a very young outfit, but paired with her cool little face, it somehow gave off a mysterious pressure.

If I remember correctly, just now, my senior sister was wearing this outfit when she went out to beat up our junior sister for over two hours non-stop, and even after she was done, her clothes didn’t change a bit.

Seeing the Peak Master arrive, Su Yi didn’t dare flirt openly with him even if she was brave, so she shrank her head, decisively patted her behind, and left.

Since staying here wouldn’t help anyway, she very considerately closed the door, and before leaving, she flirtatiously winked at someone, indicating that if he wanted to lock her in a dark room for inhumane interrogation, she would be more than happy.

However, Mr. Jiang’s expression was a bit awkward, and he cleared his throat.

"Senior sister, what are you talking about? I don’t have the guts..."

But surprisingly, Liu Xianzi just plopped down on her junior brother’s bed, the movement was so natural, just like getting on her own bed.

A senior sister with no sense of boundaries.

"It means you have the thought, but lack the strength to act against me."

"..."

He noticed that his senior sister was indeed becoming more and more like an earthly creature. Compared to the past when she was someone to be admired from afar but not dared to be approached, the senior sister now seemed more like a normal woman with emotions and desires.

Hmm, playful.

"Where did you learn this, senior sister?"

"From Lu Luo."

Seeing his brother’s flustered and dazed expression, the woman tilted her head in confusion, "She said I was too old-fashioned usually, unable to mix with the sect disciples. How is it, is this joke not funny?"

Eyes went black.

On the entire mountain, it was Lu Luo who had the most playful nature, and he never thought in his wildest dreams that his senior sister would actually learn this kind of joke, almost scaring him out of his heart disease.

"Um, ah, haha, senior sister, sounds like you have some clues?"

"Why so guilty, could it be that I hit the mark?"

Not responding at all.

Those sharp eyes were like a sword piercing his heart, any lie was laid bare in her presence, his face twitched a few times, unable to say a word, it wasn’t because he was afraid of being beaten by his senior sister or anything like that.

It was social death.

Besides cultivation matters, Liu Tangxi spoiled her junior brother in every way. It’s just that having his XP (experience points) discovered felt like sitting on needles, sweat pouring down, but soon, those sharp eyes withdrew and returned to their calm state.

"If one day you truly surpass me, it wouldn’t matter, but junior brother, your preferences are somewhat different from ordinary people, might be an illness to be treated."

"..."

Silence.

He sighed longingly at the sky.

After a round of facial attacks, Liu Tangxi finally let her junior brother off the hook and did not continue to linger on the topic of imprisonment play.

Slowly picking up the letter from the young man’s hand, Jiang Feng very conscientiously made tea, refilled water, pinched shoulders, and pounded legs, the set of movements was smooth and flowing, as for Liang Yu outside, she had already been beaten for two hours and was now back in her room resting,

To be honest, that little girl really has a good foundation, a rare piece of raw jade, with excellent foundation and physique. Because she holds Five Thunders, it leads to her body almost having no impurities, no need for re-tempering.

Her Sword Dao techniques and combat experience are remarkable among peers, and her mindset is also pretty good. If it weren’t for seeing his junior brother with a "just answered a rebuttal" expression, she actually planned to continue playing with the little junior sister for a while.

I.e., continue beating her.

But comparatively, Jiang Feng was still more important in her eyes.

"Senior sister, do you have any clues?"

Seeing his senior sister seriously reading the letter, their attention returned to the main topic, the joke about having an insider earlier was just a joke, not to mention, no insider has the ability to break through the sword array set by the senior sister to eavesdrop, just the distance between the two sects makes it practically impossible.

In this era, there are no mobile phones, even with a Sound Transmission Talisman, one can’t make the round trip in two or three days given the tens of thousands of miles distance.

"Well, sort of, it seems the woman named Jin Yuan has pretty much secured her position to take over Joyful Sect, her ability is indeed remarkable, just not sure how much of Master Miao Zhu’s skills she’s acquired."

Eyebrows raised, strengthening the shoulder massage, the meaning was clear without words.

"Immortal Miao Zhu, have you ever had any understanding?"

(Shakes head.)

Although he knew that this Immortal Miao Zhu seemed to be the current leader of the Joyful Sect, he had only heard about it from other disciples. He wasn’t really clear about what had happened specifically or what kind of power that leader actually wielded.

After all, Jiang Feng was still young and had only been cultivating for three years. Moreover, the Sect Master was not someone he had the qualifications to engage with at his level.

Liu Xianzi didn’t expect the junior brother to answer. She glanced at the letter and calmly said, "Immortal Miao Zhu’s original name is Shui Qianqing, a descendant of Master Piaomiao from Dongyue. At the age of ten, she joined the Joyful Sect and through strength and methods became the first in line for succession within the Joyful Sect."

"The Joyful Sect has been under her control for nearly two hundred years. She is an exceptionally talented individual. The only pity is that her strength has been bogged down by sect affairs, causing her power to regress instead of advancing over the years."

"The choice of the former Sect Master of Joyful Sect wasn’t wrong. Even though Shui Qianqing’s talent was somewhat wasted, she was instead able to lead the Joyful Sect further, underscoring her significance. I’ve mentioned, being a descendant of the Immortal Piaomiao from Dongyue, her specialties aren’t just in combat."

"Divining fate, peering into the heavens, paving the way, and nurturing talent are her strengths. Although she might not probe too deep into secrets, she can definitely discern peculiar destinies and the general course of events. Otherwise, her words wouldn’t be so ambiguous."

"It’s not a bluff, but there’s a certain level of deceit in her words. If you harbor any doubts, you would naturally fall into her trap, discussing the past of the East Sea Extreme Island voluntarily."

"If you truly know nothing, she would naturally shift the topic to the battle in Country Liang, as she had contributed significantly, and engaging in discussions with you would be reasonable."

"As for the final statement about the mental method being an external matter, she didn’t deceive you. However, in my view, it might merely be because you displayed the power of that Spiritual Energy Lake before her, causing her to speculate."

Jiang Feng gave a wry smile.

In just a few words, Liu Xianzi had surmised the purpose behind Jin Yuan sending the letter, laying it all bare.

Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles, many who have advanced in cultivation do so through secluded meditation in a single place, continuously enhancing their power through this method of deathly meditation. Although it elevates the realm, it merely elevates the realm.

In Liu Tangxi’s view, a person’s strength and knowledge should be proportionate. Having strength without the disposition to wield it is all empty talk. Thus, after the passing of her master and many senior brothers, she chose to travel alone.

Despite appearing indifferent to everything on the surface, if she wished to think, her experience and knowledge allowed her to discern the thoughts of younglings at a glance, especially since she was well-versed in the tactics of the Joyful Sect.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng also breathed a little easier, but was about to ask something when a preemptive judgment was made.

"Rest assured, she doesn’t have the ability to recognize it yet."

"The seal within you comprises a soul and a spirit, a lifetime of Sword Qi, and half my cultivation. Such a seal, Jin Yuan couldn’t discern, even if you were examined by the Sect Master himself."

"As long as you ensure no leakage of Spiritual Energy or loss of control leading the Serpent to take over, no one in this world can discern your Dan Mansion out of thin air."

This was Liu Xianzi’s confidence.

Though he knew his senior sister had paid a great price to place a seal within him, hearing it first-hand still left him somewhat shocked.

A soul and a spirit, a lifetime of Sword Qi, and half her cultivation—any ordinary cultivator would be bedridden for three to five years. Only someone like his senior sister could recover in such a short time.

No wonder his senior sister disappeared for a good half year after stabbing him once. She must have retreated to recuperate her strength during that time.

"Have you not thought of it?"

"Why that woman named Jin Yuan, who lacks the cultivation talents of her two younger sisters, could become the leader? And why she could become the chief disciple of Immortal Miao Zhu?"

"Now she’s been designated as the successor, her status far above the other two sisters. She can even make decisions to trade sect mental methods for favors."

"Even though it’s just a fragment, within the Purple Cloud Palace, even an ordinary elder doesn’t have the authority to make such decisions. Her Insight of Destiny and Star Probing skill might have already achieved some recognition."

Hearing this, the young boy finally realized.

He rubbed his forehead, realizing that his thinking had become rigid once more. It’s not always about strength within the sect, but capability matters too.

Strong prowess can serve as a sharp blade for others, but a competent leader naturally needs to consider all facets. Earlier, he had been curious, Jin Yuan, albeit talented and strong, seemed outpaced in development by her two sisters.

How old is Tong Xin? Just slightly older than Miss Lin, yet already at mid Core Formation, soon High Grade. Ying Ling too, is just a year or two older and about to reach Nascent Soul.

In contrast, though Jin Yuan is already Nascent Soul, at first glance, she didn’t seem as formidable as imagined. Still, she is the eldest sister with the authority to represent the sect; he should have thought of this sooner.

Looking back, ever since that woman sought him out, everything seemed to unfold along her planned trajectories, which in itself was an incredible feat.

"Piercing through heavenly mysteries is the true legacy of Master Piaomiao, tracing back to Kunlun. The Immortal Wuxiang had a prior friendship with Master Piaomiao. Throughout the generations, both parties maintained such a tacit relationship."

"As Sect Master, Shui Qianqing already had the ability to glimpse some heavenly mysteries. With the assistance of the Immortal Wuxiang, gaining insight into a sliver of the mysteries was rather usual. The wheel of fortune spins; it seems they aim to place their bets on our Purple Cloud Palace."

"Otherwise, why would they actively seek you out?"

At this, Liu Tangxi finally paused.

Then she turned her head, looking at her junior brother with a peculiar expression.

"Junior brother, why not sacrifice some charm and take down those fox spirits from the Joyful Sect?"
