Chapter 8: The Truth Behind Not Close to Women?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Junior Zhong is out on a mission. It’s not convenient for him to come and see you today.”

A dignified and gentle young woman replied with a smile.

“Yinghua, why did you come out of seclusion early?”

The young girl innocently touched the back of her head.

“I don’t know either. I suddenly felt a bit uneasy. And then the Purple Cultivation Sword hummed three times. I was afraid that something had happened outside…”

As soon as those words left her mouth.

Everyone laughed.

The young woman stroked her hair lovingly.

“Silly girl, our Huaqing Sect is the number one sect in Jade Dragon Kingdom. What could possibly happen?”

“You, on the other hand, are in the midst of building your foundation and must not be neglectful. How’s your training for Pure Jade Talisman and Nine Heaven Ten Earth Demon-Cleansing Sword Technique?”

As they talked.

She held Li Yinghua’s hand while smiling.

The young girl did not doubt her.

The two laughed and chatted as they entered the secret realm.

After they disappeared.

The atmosphere turned a lot more serious.

The person right in the center wore a Taoist robe and looked like an upright person. He was Xuan Yangzi, the sect leader of Huaqing Sect, and the one Li Yinghua had called “sect leader uncle”.

Xuan Yangzi waved his sleeves to request that the sect’s disciples leave.

Until just three people remained.

“We cannot let Yinghua know about Junior Zhong’s death before her life is harmonized with the Purple Cultivation Sword.”

Xuan Yangzi said solemnly.

“For sword cultivation, it is important to complete everything in one go. If she breaks her momentum now, I’m afraid there will be endless trouble in the future! Yinghua is the core in our sect’s battle to become the next generation of heaven’s favorites. Her cultivation progress must not be interrupted!”

“I’m sure Junior Zhong’s spirit in heaven will understand…”

The other two nodded in silence.

After all, the next generation of heaven’s favorites was too important a matter. It concerned the fortune of the entire sect for the next 100 years. Anyone in Xuan Yangzi’s position would probably make that kind of decision.

“However, we must get to the bottom of the matter regarding Junior Zhong!”

“Whether Black Frost Demonic Sect discovered his identity, or someone else was trying to make things difficult for him. We must find out.”

Xuan Yangzi looked at one of them.

“I’ll be making a trip to [Dry Dragon Well] very soon. Ninth Senior Brother, I’ll have to ask that you personally supervise this matter…”

Ninth Senior Brother looked much older than Xuan Yangzi.

His Taoist robe was tattered and torn.

He nodded and said.

“I have already done so. After Junior Zhong’s soul tablet cracked yesterday, I already sent Jinyu to investigate.”

“In a place full of itinerant cultivators like Green Cliff Mountain, news spreads like wildfire. So it won’t be hard to investigate. I’m sure we’ll get some news soon.”

A rare smile appeared on Xuan Yangzi’s face.

“I have confidence in Jinyu’s work.”

“By the way, there’s another thing I need to discuss with the both of you. That cancerous tumor Black Frost Demonic Sect has occupied Yongzhou for a long time. In order to catch them all in one fell swoop, we’ve made a lot of preparations. Even without Junior Zhong’s incident, I think it’s time to close and reel in the net. I’m planning to wait until Yinghua completes the initial stages of sword cultivation, and then let her lead the attack to wipe out Six Peak Mountain…”

After he finished explaining his detailed plan.

The other two could not help but feel a deep sense of respect.

The other man who looked younger praised him.

“Sect Leader Senior really thinks far ahead!”

“True. Apart from the branch leader, Gongyang Shi, who has some ability, everyone in Black Frost Demonic Sect is good training practice for Yinghua! After this battle, the immense power and talent of the Born Killer Star will be revealed, and her momentum will be unstoppable. The position of heaven’s favorite will be at our fingertips!”

Xuan Yangzi chuckled.

“That’s why we’ll have to quietly restrain our disciples in the meantime, to avoid any kind of conflict with the demonic sect. We’ll numb those demons first, and when the time is right…hehe!”

“Yes, sir!”

The two of them answered in unison.

[Someone is attempting to check your identity using divine power. Key information has been blocked…]

He could feel the person’s prying gaze.

Wei Bujuan suddenly opened his eyes.

In the Connections column.

Other than the favorability and hatred level lists, there was a new sub-column called [Stranger List].

He clicked to open it.

There was only one profile picture inside.

[Qiu Jinyu: Late-stage Foundation Establishment. Male, 31 years old. True successor disciple of Huaqing Sect. Cultivates Taiyi Invisible Sword Technique.

Life: None (concealed by secret technique)

Innate Fate –

Of the Righteous (Blue): Has a sense of righteousness, easily wins the favor of high-level righteous people and gets taken in by them.]

“Is someone from Huaqing sect here?”

Wei Bujuan suddenly thought.

Just at that moment.

He heard a gentle voice in his ear.

“Fellow Taoist, do not panic. I am a disciple of the orthodox Huaqing Sect, here to investigate a small matter. My Invisible Heavenly Eye divine power will not provoke the heavenly tribulation, and I don’t have any ill intentions. I just have a few things to inquire of you, so please continue to undergo your tribulation without any worries…”

“I’ll come to bother you again after the heavenly tribulation disperses.”

Wei Bujuan opened his Qi Observation.

But just then, he saw a conveyance light, dazzling with righteous qi, departing far away from the range of the tribulation clouds.

Then, it landed on another mountain peak.

Although Wei Bujuan could not see his face clearly.

He got the sense that it was very upright and peaceful.

“The elite disciples of orthodox sects sure do things differently from those demonic path b*stards!”

“It’s just that I don’t know how long he’ll have to wait…”

Wei Bujuan relaxed.

He did not allow himself to get distracted.

And continued to practice.

A few days passed.

That day.

Wei Bujuan felt the pressure from the tribulation clouds above him suddenly lighten.

By the time he looked up.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

The True Fire of the Sun nets had already disappeared.

The dark clouds that had enveloped the entire mountain peak were also rapidly shrinking.

[Eternal Elemental Lightning True Technique: The berserk period has ended, and the heavenly tribulation has once again entered a three-day cool-off period. During this period, the tribulation clouds will thin, almost to the point of disappearance. Your range of movement will also widen…]

“So the cool-off period didn’t go away, it was simply postponed…”

Wei Bujuan was thinking to himself that even the heavenly tribulations knew how to slack off!

Just nice.

He could take the opportunity to explain everything to the elite orthodox disciple outside.

It would be best if he could ensure that no one came to disturb his cultivation after that!

While thinking.

The conveyance light had already arrived outside Clear Wind Temple.

Qiu Jinyu was very polite.

He greeted Wei Bujuan warmly at the door. Only then did he ask if he could come in.

Wei Bujuan replied.

“Please come in.”

Qiu Jinyu cupped his hands to thank him.

He transformed into a pure white conveyance light and entered the backyard.

The light rays dissipated.

And a square-faced man appeared before Wei Bujuan.

The next moment.

[Qiu Jinyu is moved by your appearance and is in love with you!

Favorability +10!

Current Favorability: 70]

“What the hell?”

Wei Bujuan’s smile gradually stiffened.

“Is this the actual truth behind [Not Close to Women]?”

On the other hand, Qiu Jinyu was still as calm as ever.

He smiled and cupped his hands towards Wei Bujuan.

“Congratulations on successfully undergoing your tribulation!”

“You were able to trigger the True Fire of the Sun Tribulation with your Qi Refinement body. You must be a reclusive master. I dare not bother you with my words. Please accept this small gift as an apology.”

After speaking, he took out a stone box from his sleeve.

And generously handed it to Wei Bujuan.

[You have obtained 100-Year Ginseng *1]

[Qiu Jinyu has given you a gift. The bond between the two of you has deepened…

Qiu Jinyu’s favorability towards you +5!

Current Favorability: 75]

Ah?

That could increase favorability too?

Wei Bujuan really wanted to smack his right hand!

How did he end up subconsciously accepting the gift?

But when he heard Qiu Jinyu chuckle and ask.

“How should I address you?”

Wei Bujuan replied without hesitation.

“After so many years of cultivation, I have long forgotten my secular name. Just call me Anti-work Mountain Man.”

Qiu Jinyu’s eyes lit up.

He had clearly assumed that Wei Bujuan’s Qi Refinement Level 3 cultivation was just a disguise earlier.

The two began to have a friendly chat.

At that moment.

Outside Clear Wind Temple.

Numerous black shadows began to emerge from behind trees, shrubs, rocks and other hiding places.

Half of the leader’s face was occupied by black scars.

As he spoke, his muscles quivered. It looked like several earthworms were crawling.

“After lying dormant for so many days, we’ve finally gotten hold of this useful piece of information!”

“The person undergoing the tribulation is indeed related to Huaqing Sect!”

He was the vice branch leader of Black Frost Demonic Sect’s Yongzhou Branch. He was also the branch leader’s younger brother, Gongyang Nian.

As Gongyang Shi was in seclusion.

He, Gongyang Nian, was currently the head of the Yongzhou Branch!

“Vice Branch Leader!”

“Since we’ve confirmed that this little b*stard is from Huaqing Sect, why don’t we charge forward together and take him down?”

A junior disciple by the side urged.

Pa!

A young master with a jade-like face who was holding a folding fan gave the junior disciple a hard slap.

“Brainless!”

“Do you see the charred corpses outside Clear Wind Temple? That may have been how our four great elders died!”

“This kid is very strange. If he happens to have a technique that allows him to draw power from the heavenly tribulation, once we get just a bit closer, we’ll all die without a proper burial place!”

Gongyang Nian nodded and said.

“I have my concerns too. That was why I made everyone lie in ambush outside the temple for so long.”

“But this time, we’ve come out in full force. There’s no way we can go back empty-handed.”

“Don’t worry about that kid for now. When Qiu Jinyu comes out in a moment, we’ll take him down first!”

Everyone nodded.

And each went back to their hiding place.

However, after several hours.

Qiu Jinyu was nowhere to be seen outside Clear Wind Temple.

All the demonic sect members were burning with anxiety.

But Gongyang Nian was somehow able to keep his cool.

They did not dare to move.

Until night fell.

And there was finally some movement in the temple.
