Chapter 322: Forcibly Marrying Su Huanli?

Song Jiulai mentally rolled her eyes.

’Asking about these things without even using a Sound Insulation Technique, what are you trying to pull?’

’Just had to show off, didn’t you!’

Yin Chu sized up Xiao Yushu, seemingly lost in thought.

Then, Ke Yuning’s voice drifted down from upstairs. "I hear the Xue Cang Sect still hasn’t found that Secret Realm Fragment. This Wang Abei... she’s rather interesting."

Yin Chu scoffed. "If they can’t find her, it just proves that Wang Abei is a Demon Cultivator. To think a fragment of the Moonlight Secret Realm fell into the hands of a Demon Cultivator..."

He trailed off, clearly wanting to diss someone a little more, but he didn’t get the chance.

Song Jiulai had to stop herself from calling him a genius.

’Yes, yes, yes, Wang Abei is a Demon Cultivator!’

’Keep guessing along those lines.’

"If it has truly fallen into the hands of a Demon Cultivator, it’s not good news for the Yunzhou Continent."

Unexpectedly, Master Ziyan also joined the conversation. Though she was nowhere to be seen, her voice filled every corner. "All disciples present, if you encounter anyone resembling Wang Abei in the future, you must report it immediately."

All the Cultivators on the ship replied in unison, "As you command."

Song Jiulai’s eyes shifted. Her identity as Song Abao was conspicuous enough these days; she hadn’t thought about being Wang Abei in a while.

After all, she couldn’t possibly keep using that identity after leaving the Moonlight Secret Realm.

She didn’t know much about the fragment, and there had been no news about it since.

Her eyes darted about, and as soon as Yin Chu and the others finished their conversation, she immediately went to find Xiao Yushu.

"Senior."

When facing someone with a higher cultivation level, addressing them as "Senior" was never a mistake.

But when Xiao Yushu saw it was her, he immediately said, "I don’t dare accept the title of Senior. You can just call me Xiao."

When he had first boarded the ship, the others had already told him that this female cultivator was Chihe Zhenren’s disciple.

After all, she was the only one at the Early Stage of Qi Refining who dared to stay at the ship’s bow.

All the other Early Stage of Qi Refining cultivators were hiding in their rooms, too afraid to come out.

Song Jiulai had now joined a powerful faction, so her status was different and couldn’t be judged by her cultivation alone.

Song Jiulai smiled. "Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Xiao, may I ask, who is this Wang Abei you were all just talking about?"

It wasn’t a sensitive question. News about Wang Abei had spread as soon as they left the Secret Realm. After all, a fragment had appeared, and even the Xue Cang Sect had sent people later to ask questions and gather information about her.

Xiao Yushu explained, "Wang Abei was someone who entered the same small world in the Moonlight Secret Realm with us not long ago. She obtained a Secret Realm Fragment."

Song Jiulai feigned curiosity. "And what is a Secret Realm Fragment?"

Xiao Yushu didn’t actually know either. He gave a faint smile and could only explain, "We don’t know its specific function, only that each small world in the Moonlight Secret Realm has one such fragment. When the fragment disappears, the small world disappears."

A look of realization dawned on Song Jiulai’s face. "Thank you for telling me, Xiao."

Xiao Yushu replied, "You’re welcome."

They were all happy to be on good terms with Chihe Zhenren’s disciple.

This journey only gave them a chance to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect; it wasn’t guaranteed.

Yet this person, merely at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, was already a confirmed disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

’What good fortune.’

It was impossible for Xiao Yushu and the others not to feel a pang of envy.

But to be chosen by the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect... they heard she was a Three-Colored Stone disciple.

A Three-Colored Stone.

Even he had only managed to refine two colorful stones.

And that was on the very last day. Even so, he had been praised by the person from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect in charge of the Starlight Sect.

One could only imagine how rare a Three-Colored Stone was.

But when it came to talent, envy and jealousy were equally powerless.

"Manager Chen, here’s a letter from the Fierce Eagle Sect."

Chen Miaomiao took the blank Spiritual Energy Scroll from Steward Tang of the Feique Sect.

After she took it, a few lines of text materialized on its surface.

Looking closely, Chen Miaomiao froze.

"Why was this letter given to me?"

Steward Tang said, "Most of the Sect Disciples are out training right now, and since you, Manager Chen, are also responsible for some of the Feique Sect’s affairs, it’s only natural for you to look over this message from the Fierce Eagle Sect. Is there something wrong with the letter?"

Chen Miaomiao frowned.

"It says here that Zhang Xiwen of the Fierce Eagle Sect wishes to become Dao companions with Senior Sister Su Huanli. And that he has already secretly inquired with Jingque True Man for his opinion."

Steward Tang’s expression changed instantly. "Impossible! Our Feique Sect has always had a bad relationship with the Fierce Eagle Sect! The Sect Master would never agree to such a thing!"

Chen Miaomiao also found it impossible.

The Fierce Eagle Sect and the Feique Sect were on extremely poor terms.

Setting aside how absurd the matter was, Chen Miaomiao actually knew this Zhang Xiwen.

He was the Fierce Eagle Sect disciple who had threatened them, the players.

The player, Jiang Lianhan, unable to find a way to deal with Zhang Xiwen at the time, had turned to the system to remove a restriction he had placed on her body.

Zhang Xiwen most likely thought Jiang Lianhan was already dead.

But that didn’t mean Jiang Lianhan had forgotten the grudge.

Because in order to remove that so-called restriction from Zhang Xiwen, the black-hearted system had charged a fifty-point service fee.

Fifty points!

How long would Jiang Lianhan have to grind for that!

The grudge of a docked salary was a feud between mortal enemies.

Based on his ruthlessness alone, Chen Miaomiao didn’t think Zhang Xiwen could be a good person.

’How could they possibly let Su Huanli become Dao companions with him?’

Besides, Su Huanli was currently in the Demon Cave Valley, not at the Sect.

’Why would this scroll be sent to the Feique Sect?’

’Don’t they even need to ask for Su Huanli’s own opinion?’

’Unless...’

’This was just to inform the Feique Sect.’

Chen Miaomiao looked up. "We must inform Senior Sister Su Huanli about this first."

She vaguely remembered that Senior Sister Su Huanli had a good relationship with their Sect Master.

This Su Huanli was one of the few disciples who had met and spent time with Song Jiulai.

Steward Tang was panicking. "That Zhang Xiwen is the head disciple of the Fierce Eagle Sect. I’m afraid he won’t let this go easily."

Chen Miaomiao posted the matter on the public channel.

[Chen Miaomiao: Anyone in the Demon Cave Valley, please inform Senior Sister Su Huanli. The head disciple of the Fierce Eagle Sect, Zhang Xiwen, has sent a letter demanding to become Dao companions with her. Ask her to return to the Sect immediately.]

[Han Tian: What?! The Fierce Eagle Sect?]

[Jiang Lianhan: That damn bastard! I still haven’t gotten reimbursed for those fifty points, and now he dares to bully one of our own!]

[Zhou Nvzi: What the hell? Doesn’t the person herself have to agree to become Dao companions? What’s with this direct demand?]

[Wu Dahu: This vile Cultivation World!]

Just then, Chen Miaomiao received a private message from a new player she had never seen before.

Wuming: [Boss Chen, this Zhang Xiwen was previously engaged to a female cultivator from the Luomei Sect. There’s probably something fishy about this whole affair. My identity can’t be revealed for now, so please don’t disclose that I’m the one who told you.]

Chen Miaomiao frowned upon seeing the message.

’He has a marriage contract with a cultivator from the Luomei Sect and he still dares to marry another?’

Although powerful people in the Cultivation World could take as many partners as they wished, Zhang Xiwen wasn’t nearly that powerful.

’What is he trying to do?’

The letter was undeniably from the Fierce Eagle Sect. They would just have to wait for Su Huanli’s return before making a decision.
