Chapter 1053 - 1053: Qiu Yuxuan Clings to a Powerful Backer
President Wenren's plan to use a borrowed knife to kill was quite feasible.Brother Cheng is indeed not a low-key, obedient person.
And Venerable Xi Wu is also not someone easy to deal with.
If these two were to meet, they probably wouldn't need any provocation, and conflict would arise naturally.
However, despite planning for several days and considering many possible scenarios, as well as arranging numerous means of provocation, they still hadn't had a chance to employ them.
The reason was simple: Jiang Cheng had not left the cave mansion.
The brother had no intention of serious cultivation.
He was merely waiting for his Immortal Remuneration from the Upper Court Immortals to be distributed.
Then he would consider going out to 'wander' a bit.
Things like seeking guidance from experts across various places in the Daoist Field... he never considered in the first place.
All he wanted was the reputation from being among the Upper Court Immortals in the King-level Dojo to boost his prestige.
Nothing more.
Wenren Sihai was slowly getting impatient.
This guy never went out; he hadn't even had a chance to meet Venerable Xi Wu, so how could there be any provocation?
"What's going on?"
"Why hasn't he come out?"
"Could it be that he's not interested in swordsmanship, and doesn't plan to seek guidance from Venerable Xi Wu?"
The other three were also utterly baffled.
"Impossible, I see his weapon is a sword."
"Could he be cultivating in seclusion in the cave mansion every day?"
"Does he not understand that building a car behind closed doors doesn't compare to drawing from others' strengths? How is he so oblivious?"
"Let's wait a bit longer…"
"He will come out!"
A month later, Qiu Yuxuan directly stepped into the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm Sixth Layer.
The speed at which this woman improved her power was practically setting records in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
And she hadn't encountered any bottlenecks yet, continuing to advance rapidly.
After opening her eyes, she saw Sect Leader Jiang sleeping soundly inside.
Originally, she thought this guy was cultivating some special Sleeping Dream Technique, perhaps involving the Dream Rule or something.
Upon careful examination, it turned out he was just plain sleeping.
Suddenly, she displayed a disdainful look.
"Such a lazy person can still cultivate to the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, truly heaven is blind!"
Afterwards, she left the cave mansion to go to the Collection Pavilion at the Daoist Field.
Unlike Jiang Cheng, she fully understood the significance of classics and expert guidance.
Her departure from the cave mansion was quickly caught by President Wenren's watchful eyes.
"Qiu Yuxuan has come out!"
"Jiang Cheng should be soon too!"
"That guy is doomed!"
"No matter what, let's take down Qiu Yuxuan first!"
Over the past month, Wenren Sihai had not seen Qiu Yuxuan and found himself missing her more and more.
"This time, with that Jiang Cheng not around, no one to interrupt, I refuse to believe I can't take her down!"
He rushed to seize the opportunity and staged a chance meeting with Qiu Yuxuan.
They ran into each other on the third floor of the Collection Pavilion.
"Fairy Yu Xuan, what a coincidence!"
President Wenren flashed a graceful smile, while the other Immortals nearby wisely retreated hastily.
"We meet again!"
What a "coincidence," damn it!
Qiu Yuxuan cursed inwardly.
How does this guy keep popping up like a haunting spirit?
"Yeah, really coincidental…"
Since she couldn't afford to offend President Wenren, she forced a slight smile.
This melted Wenren Sihai's heart.
Even if she were a maid, he'd still accept!
"Hey hey, Fairy Yu Xuan, you must have many difficulties in cultivation."
"I'm two realms higher than you. How about I guide you a bit…"
After speaking, he intended to make a move.
Qiu Yuxuan quickly avoided: "Oh, there's no need, I don't have any cultivation difficulties."
President Wenren's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a bit of displeasure.
Suppressing his anger, he continued amiably: "I heard you just left the cave mansion, you must not be very familiar with King Jia's Dojo. Let me show you around."
Qiu Yuxuan felt a silent bitterness in her heart.
Here we go again.
This guy is like sticky candy, hard to shake off.
"Thank you Young Master Wenren for your kindness. I'm just here to read classics, not planning to walk around…"
"Are you planning to snub me?"
Wenren Sihai interrupted coldly.
"My patience is limited; I hope you understand!"
In the end, Qiu Yuxuan could only throw the blame on Brother Cheng.
"It's Jiang Cheng. He told me to return to the cave mansion early and not to get close to anyone."
"What?"
Wenren Sihai was furious: "Again with that Jiang Cheng? Who does he think he is? You follow me, let's see if he dares to touch you!"
"That won't work. He has planted a secret means on me; my life is in his hands."
Qiu Yuxuan sighed lightly, her expression showing infinite sorrow and helplessness.
"Young Master Wenren, you wouldn't want to get me killed, would you?"
Meanwhile, Brother Cheng, fast asleep, had no clue about the black cauldron placed on his head.
Wenren Sihai opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
What could he say if he continued to insist that Qiu Yuxuan join him? It would mean endangering her life.
Even courtship doesn't go to such extreme measures.
Watching Qiu Yuxuan's distant figure, he clenched his fist tightly.
"Damn it, once I get rid of Jiang Cheng, let's see how you hide!"
Qiu Yuxuan knew clearly that while she could hide for a while, she couldn't hide forever.
If it were a typical second-generation rich kid, it would be fine; the Daoist Field would surely back her.
But Wenren Sihai had too strong of a background; even the Great Chief couldn't provoke him.
Things couldn't continue like this.
She couldn't always use Jiang Cheng as a shield.
While letting bad people deal with other bad people was quite satisfying, he definitely couldn't match the Wenren Family and would eventually be crushed.
She needed to find another supporter.
This woman indeed had some qualities of an Immortal Mother, such as strategic thinking.
The very next day, she visited Venerable Xi Wu.
Merely half an hour later, King Jia's Dojo spread an incredible news that left everyone doubting reality.
Venerable Xi Wu and Qiu Yuxuan became sworn siblings; from now on, they would advance and retreat together!
The moment this news was released, the entire Daoist Field was in an uproar.
"Did I hear that wrong?"
"Venerable Xi Wu? Qiu Yuxuan?"
"Isn't the gap between them a bit too much?"
"Exactly…"
"One's a Supreme, the other only at Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, and they became siblings? Is this a joke?"
"What is Venerable Xi Wu thinking?"
"Isn't he known for being difficult to deal with and unapproachable?"
"This is too unbelievable!"
Not only the Three Court Immortals, but even the Celestial Venerables and Immortal Officials at the Daoist Field wondered if they misheard.
"I heard Qiu Yuxuan went to ask Venerable Xi Wu about swordsmanship. Not long after, Venerable Xi Wu was completely astonished by her swordsmanship talent and absolutely mesmerized!"
"Indeed, I also heard that Venerable Xi Wu initially wanted to take her as a disciple, but the Daoist Field doesn't allow taking disciples."
"In the end, the Supreme went all in and directly recognized her as his sister…"
