CHAPTER 541: CHAPTER 322: GIVING LIU XIANZI A LESSON

The ghostly figure suddenly appeared.

In the entire Swordmaster Peak, aside from Liu Xianzi, no one else could come and go so unpredictably. At first, he had some complaints about his senior sister’s sudden appearances and disappearances, especially as she had no sense of boundaries at all.

Sometimes, while he was cultivating, he’d open his eyes to find his senior sister sitting beside him, staring intently. Other times, he’d be half-awake from sleep and leaning back, only to find her sitting on his bed, occasionally even rubbing his old face.

Sometimes, he’d wake up from a nightmare, writhing in pain even in his dreams, and when he opened his eyes, he’d find his sister’s hand had slipped into his blanket, her fingers pressing on his acupoints, making him roll his eyes in pain.

However, he never resisted. As someone who frequently soaked in the Spiritual Spring and consumed Elixirs for cultivation, there were always some undigested residues left in his body, blocking his meridians or acupoints. At such times, strong enough methods were needed.

Moreover, it seemed he couldn’t resist anyway.

"Sister, good evening."

"I heard from Jiang Xian that you went to Dragon Head Peak for a meeting this morning. When Liang Yu and I were wandering around the main peak, we also saw the Sect Master flying west on his spirit beast... No, what nonsense."

"We saw the Sect Master riding his Spiritual Beast, flying towards Dragon Head Peak to the west. It’s said the Sect Master returned from the East Sea and brought some news with him? Otherwise, why would the meeting last so long, probably five or six hours combined."

Quickly corrected myself.

Mr. Jiang always had a knack for unintentionally irritating people. Even Liu Tangxi felt a bit helpless; there was nothing wrong with referring to "riding a crane westward," but why did it sound so strange coming from this guy?

His butt remained firmly planted on the chair without any intention of standing up. He merely shifted his upper body a little, holding a pen, while the paper on the desk hadn’t dried yet.

Liu Tangxi didn’t intend to blame the other for not understanding etiquette at all. The best part about interacting with this senior sister was that there was no need for formalities.

She hated that so-called pomp and circumstance.

"Hmm, Sect Master indeed brought back a lot of news from the East Sea."

Without any hesitation, she sat on the chair next to him. Jiang Feng’s bedroom usually had more than two chairs, one specially prepared for his senior sister.

The woman glanced at the text that someone was copying at the desk and, upon recognizing it, her expression showed surprise and disbelief.

"How did he unearth this thing?"

Her mind was filled with question marks.

Clearly, she had been discussing this with the Sect Master just earlier that day, yet she hadn’t expected it to appear in her junior brother’s hands when she turned her head. Her expression froze, and for a moment, she felt stifled.

That eerie feeling came over her again, as if there was always a pair of eyes staring at her back, and all her actions were within the other party’s expectations, making her feel creepy.

"Is there truly fate in the unseen?"

"No, that’s not right, impossible. Junior brother’s fate is already set, his destiny completely woven by the Demon Night True Monarch, even this body was molded by him."

"It can’t be a coincidence, was it calculated beforehand?"

"Yes, yes, the Demon Night True Monarch left a clue, Lan Tianyong and I found these two, and because of some things, he knew neither of us was willing to kill. Regardless of the result of the struggle between me and Lan Tianyong, no matter who we take away."

"The result is the same."

"The Purple Cloud Palace has a copy, and so does the Taixu Sect. Over the years, this so-called secret is no longer a secret. If things continue to develop like this, junior brother will inevitably discover this someday."

"But what exactly is the secret of this copy, is it related to something I encountered last time I went to the East Sea? How does junior brother know?"

"I’ve confirmed countless times that he’s not reincarnated, this body possesses Divine Sense, it’s junior brother’s own Divine Sense, untouched by anything, even if the Divine Sense had been occupied, how did the Demon Night True Monarch know?"

"Why would he know about writings that don’t belong to this world? If he had such ability, why go through all this trouble?"

Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind.

But Mr. Jiang seemed completely unaware, happily pouring tea and complaining at the same time.

"I say, sister, at least knock next time you come in, what if I’m in an inconvenient situation? Last time, I was soaking in a medicinal bath, and you sat right on my butt to ask me questions, almost scared me to death."

"Let me guess, this meeting that lasted five or six hours wasn’t just about news from the East Sea, surely there will be a redistribution of resources within our Purple Cloud Palace."

"After all, the disciples of the Mountain Gate must show their value to gain more resources for cultivation. At our Mountain Gate, we’re not short of such things. Let me tell you, Princess Liang came with a bridal gift... oops, I mean a formal apprentice gift this time."

"Whoa, that’s a whole lot of high-quality Spirit Stones, various raw materials for forging Magic Treasures, Spirit Pills, Immortal Herbs, all in abundance. A single Qiankun Bag was completely filled!"

"I’ve long said, talking about exploiting the people and amassing wealth, not even eight Purple Cloud Palaces combined can match emperors in the secular world. The practice of extorting these items from populace is so sophisticated, it’s done by the thousands, with tributes paid annually."

"Ah, it’s all people’s fat and people’s blood."
