"I understand, you mean we can touch the Qi Family!"

"Yes, if one is timid on the path of Cultivation, they might as well dissolve into it!"

Bai Jue lectured.

"Haha! With Elder Bai's support, the world is mine to roam freely!"

Seeing the smile on Xia Liu's face, Xiao Xiang truly couldn't understand.

Having just revealed the Qi Family, how could he still smile?

Could it be that he has support from other top powers in the Northern Realm?

Is that possible?

"Xia Liu, aren't you afraid of the Qi Family?"

Xiao Xiang asked.

"The Qi Family indeed holds great intimidation in the Northern Realm, but they are equally bound by this intimidation. As pillars of the Righteous Path, if their descendants buy cauldrons from the Eternal Trade Association, would they dare to expose it?"

Xia Liu said forcefully.

"This!"

Xiao Xiang was momentarily speechless, just as Xia Liu had said.

Of course, the Qi Family wouldn't bring this matter to the surface.

"But the Qi Family's strong figures can easily find reasons to deal with you, even the Imperial Sky Gate."

"If I step forward, the Qi Family would only be dealing with me alone. To deal with the Imperial Sky Gate, they'd have to consider the Cultivation Alliance."

"Good, good!"

Xiao Xiang clapped her hands repeatedly; she had underestimated Xia Liu after all.

This guy's understanding is far more terrifying than she imagined.

"But how will you handle the Envoy coming in half a month?"

"The Envoy from the Eternal Trade Association?"

Xia Liu asked.

"Yes! If the Envoy cannot take Ling Feng away, the Qi Family will certainly step in. How will you handle that?"

This time, Xia Liu is facing two major powers, and Xiao Xiang does not believe he can resist with his current abilities.

"As long as no Nascent Soul Stage cultivators come, I can handle it easily."

"Well, do as you see fit."

Xiao Xiang fell silent.

For Ling Feng, Xia Liu has persisted to this point; it seems he truly is Ling Feng's opportunity.

"Senior Xia, are you really going to become irreconcilable with them for me?"

After a long silence, Ling Feng spoke.

She couldn't quite understand Xia Liu.

Why is he being so good to her?

Is it because of the Yin Element within her?

Or is it this appearance?

"Since we are destined, I will not sit idle."

Xia Liu's explanation of cause and effect seemed illusory, making it difficult for Xiao Xiang and Ling Feng to understand.

This has far surpassed the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Unless one reaches Bai Jue's level of understanding, they cannot comprehend it.

"Is it just destiny..."

Ling Feng murmured, her heart was notably unsettled.

But given the current situation, she didn't know what else to say to Xia Liu.

Because she needed Xia Liu's protection.

"Elder Xiao, how much longer until the Envoy you mentioned arrives?"

Understanding everything now.

Xia Liu wanted to know the possible situations he might face next.

"The Envoy from the Eternal Trade Association will definitely come to meet me within half a month."

"He wants to take Senior Sister Ling Feng away, right?"

"Yes, because this matter has been delayed for over a year, the Envoy may have sensed something amiss, so this time they are determined to take Ling Feng."

Xiao Xiang had never explained the specific reasons to the Envoy.

Fearing that if Ling Feng was taken, she would be ruthlessly pursued by Ling Duo.

Now that Ling Duo is no longer a concern, it's Xia Liu who is troublesome.

"Alright! Then, when the time comes, take me to meet this Envoy. You can push all matters onto me, so you won't be punished."

"Naturally, I cannot withstand the wrath of the Trade Association."

Xiao Xiang had long decided.

Ling Duo is nonviable, so let Xia Liu bear it.

After all, she would not put herself in danger.

"Alright, that's settled then. Today I'll first take Senior Sister Ling Feng away from the Lady's Pavilion. If the Envoy arrives early, please bring him to me."

Without giving Ling Feng a chance to refuse, Xia Liu quickly pulled her away from the Lady's Pavilion.

Once in the secluded mountains, Ling Feng was finally released by Xia Liu.

Ling Feng remained silent.

For before powerful Xia Liu, she had no right to resist.

"Senior Sister Ling Feng, please rest in the Hundred Victories Hall for a few days."

"Not going to Thousand Victories Peak?"

Realizing she misspoke, Ling Feng quickly shut her mouth.

"Ahem, yes, it's Thousand Victories Peak."

After One Incense's Time, Xia Liu and Ling Feng returned to Thousand Victories Peak.

After arranging Ling Feng's accommodation, Xia Liu went up to the top floor of the pavilion.

This left Ling Feng somewhat at a loss in the room.

She was an adult.

Before coming to Thousand Victories Peak, she had imagined what might happen next.

But Xia Liu's actions were beyond her expectations.

Could it be that Xia Liu isn't interested in the Yin Element within her?

Late at night, Ling Feng arrived at the top floor of the pavilion in a white robe.

Although her face was obscured by a veil, it couldn't hide her alluring and graceful silhouette.

"Senior Xia, aren't you interested in the Yin Element within me?"

This issue had puzzled Ling Feng, leaving her restless without answers.

Coming here tonight, she wished to hear Xia Liu's candid thoughts.

"The Primordial Force within you is very attractive, but that's all. I haven't reached the point of moral depravity to take your Yin Element to enhance my cultivation."

Indeed, Xia Liu sees utilizing others' beings as cauldrons to enhance one's own cultivation as a violation of moral principles. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Xia Liu would never do such a thing.

"Oh, then how should I repay Senior Xia for your kindness?"

Surprised by Xia Liu's words, Ling Feng appeared at a loss.

"Our acquaintance is all cause and effect; I cultivate the Cause and Effect Path naturally to perfect this karma, so rest assured, with me here you will be safe!"

"This..."

Xia Liu's words were too profound for Ling Feng to comprehend.

But she understood the final sentence.

Thus, she made a firm decision in her heart.

Sss! Sss!

As Ling Feng made her decision, a strange sound appeared.

Soon, a fluffy little beast materialized on the floor and darted into her arms.

"What is this?"

Looking at the little beast in her arms, Ling Feng was stunned.

"It's a Spirit Beast!"

Seeing the Earth Spirit Beast incessantly nuzzling Ling Feng's embrace, Xia Liu couldn't help but mutter.

"This little beast I brought out from the Imperial Sky Tower is an Earth Spirit Beast."

Having not seen the Earth Spirit Beast for many days, Xia Liu didn't expect it to appear as soon as Ling Feng arrived.

Indeed, it had a fondness for alluring women!

"It's so adorable, can I take care of it for a few days?"

"Certainly, if you like it, you can keep it."

"Well, thank you so much, Senior Xia!"

With the little beast in her arms, Ling Feng left quickly.

With the little beast, she wouldn't feel too lonely.

Xia Liu understood that because of the Water Spirit Power in Ling Feng, the Earth Spirit Beast became close to her.

Since it wants to follow Ling Feng, let it be as it pleases.

In the following days, Xia Liu focused on his cultivation and awaited the arrival of the Eternal Trade Association's Envoy.

Ten days later, Xiao Xiang's Spirit Sound reached Thousand Victories Peak.

"Xia Liu, the Envoy has arranged to meet me in the valley a hundred li away."

Receiving the Spirit Sound, Xia Liu instructed the servants on Thousand Victories Peak, then instantly departed.

Shortly after Xia Liu left, Ling Feng came to the top floor of the pavilion.

Looking at the horizon in the distance, she murmured, "Xia Liu, please don't get into trouble..."
