Qin Qi saw the door open and felt even more admiration for Pei Junhong.

A door that so many people couldn’t open.

As soon as Wuyou Zi heard her name, the door opened. Pei Junhong truly lives up to being the world’s top beauty.

As Qin Qi stepped into Wuyou Pavilion, the door slowly closed again.

Someone attempted to rush in as the door was about to close fully.

As they approached the edge of the door, a mysterious formation appeared beside it.

Xiao Shiyi was instantly bounced back, hitting the ground heavily, blood spitting from his mouth.

Everyone was well aware of Xiao Shiyi’s reputation as a notorious thief with unfathomable skills.

Even someone so formidable couldn’t succeed at that door, shocking everyone and prompting them to retreat several steps.

"Earlier, that girl mentioned Pei Junhong’s name. With Pei Junhong’s assistance, entering Wuyou Pavilion wouldn’t be difficult."

Lian Jian’s eyes darted and immediately turned in the direction of Red Dust Residence, speeding off.

Others remained wistfully begging from afar.

The door was firmly shut.

Qin Qi approached Wuyou Zi with a respectful demeanor.

Wuyou Zi was shaking the copper coins in his hand.

Then, he threw the divination copper coins into the air, where they flipped over.

And returned to rest in his palm.

Wuyou Zi could discern the intentions of others through those coins.

"What is your relationship with Pei Junhong?"

Wuyou Zi fixed his gaze on Qin Qi.

Knowing that someone of Pei Junhong’s beauty would be difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Although this girl knew Pei Junhong’s name, it didn’t necessarily mean they had a profound relationship.

Until he figured out their relationship, he would not help.

"She’s my Sister Tang."

Qin Qi was quite proud.

With arms crossed, she knew that this person was willing to help purely because of Pei Junhong’s reputation.

It had nothing to do with her demeanor, so even exhibiting a princess-like attitude, he would still assist.

Thus, Qin Qi didn’t bother to feign respect.

"Sister Tang?"

So-called Sister Tang refers to an uncle’s daughter.

This girl actually had a blood relation with her.

"Alright then, tell me how you want me to help, but if I do help, you must speak well of me to your sister."

Wuyou Zi’s eyes darted cunningly.

Calculating inwardly.

"If you can help me..."

At this moment, Qin Qi recalled the previous leak.

With a cunning look, she glanced toward this place.

Wuyou Zi naturally understood her intention.

"Please follow me into the room."

Wuyou Zi led Qin Qi to the room and then placed his hand on the wall, forming a mysterious seal with both hands.

The seal resembled a yin-yang fish but had slight differences.

The wall in the room instantly split apart like a Tai Chi Diagram, revealing a black fish image.

They both stepped into the secret chamber.

At that moment, the door closed again.

The chamber was so silent one could hear the heartbeat.

"Speak up, how can I help you? It’s very safe here."

Wuyou Zi sat calmly on a chair.

His voice echoed in the enclosed room.

"I want you to help me deal with Dongfang Qing."

"I must eliminate Dongfang Qing to become the Blackwater Alliance Hierarch."

Qin Qi’s expression turned icy cold.

A trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

Wuyou Zi heard this and laughed indifferently.

"In the Blackwater Secret Realm, experts are everywhere, with masters sitting in each direction. Which one isn’t more famous than Dongfang Qing?"

"Moreover, the Blackwater Secret Realm is filled with numerous reclusive high-level masters; these are the real obstacles to becoming the Alliance Hierarch, aren’t they?"

"Why waste energy on a mere Sect Master?"

Wuyou Zi’s expression was odd; he was quite puzzled.

"Senior Wuyou Zi, you may not realize that under Wang Ye’s leadership, Tianyong Mountain is gradually thriving."

"In just a few short years, Tianyong Mountain’s strength has increased fivefold, with countless Sect disciples leaving their original sects to join Tianyong Mountain."

"Furthermore, Wang Ye defeated the Magic Emperor Tianyin in a famous battle, giving the previously unknown Tianyong Mountain a measure of fame in the Blackwater Secret Realm."

"Moreover, Tianyong Mountain is a gathering of talents; how can I underestimate Wang Ye?"

Qin Qi’s expression was solemn.

Wuyou Zi nodded; with this information, Wang Ye indeed seemed quite capable.

Yet his expression remained calm.

"Years ago, when I traveled the Blackwater Secret Realm, I discovered three places imbued with dragon’s breath, and Tianyong Mountain was one of the mountains developing this dragon’s breath."

"All you need to do is ruin Tianyong Mountain’s dragon vein, and no matter how skilled Wang Ye is, you will become the Blackwater Alliance Hierarch."

"You just need to dig up Tianyong Mountain’s dragon vein."

After speaking, Wuyou Zi produced a map.

The map depicted Tianyong Mountain’s outline, with the mountains, waters, and dragon vein locations marked in great detail.

"Will this really work?"

Qin Qi’s brow furrowed.

As a rebellious generation, she had more faith in strength and was somewhat skeptical of feng shui metaphysics.

Wuyou Zi’s expression froze; this girl dared to question the ancestral teachings.

Anger flashed across his heart.

"I’ve given you the method. Whether you do it or not is your business. Please leave."

His demeanor turned cold, clearly issuing a gentle order to leave.

Known for his prowess, Wuyou Zi lacked neither money nor Spirit Jade, nor Cultivation Technique, but what he craved was respect.

This girl dared to question him, which he considered a tremendous disrespect.

Thus, he was naturally displeased.

"Alright."

Qin Qi kept the map, turned around, and exited the secret chamber.

Didn’t even utter her thanks.

Wuyou Zi’s face looked rather displeased.

Yet he was helpless; what could he do, knowing he was deeply infatuated with Pei Junhong, willing to die for her?

Over a thousand years ago, he tried every means to pursue Pei Hongjun.

Ultimately, he knelt at the front of Red Dust Residence for a full year.

Kneeling while consuming poison, seeking death and life, all just to meet Pei Hongjun once.

But even after a year of kneeling and ingesting poison until unconscious, Pei Junhong still refused to meet him.

Thinking about those past days, he shook his head.

"Being already somewhat famous in the Blackwater Secret Realm today, and having helped her younger sister, Pei Junhong surely wouldn’t be heartless like before."

Wuyou Zi muttered to himself.

Longing for Pei Junhong surged through his heart.

That longing was like the tide, uncontrollable.

So he decided to meet Pei Junhong.

After all, though he hadn’t seen Pei Junhong these years, he met her countless times in dreams.

Every time he woke from the dream, he felt incredibly lost.

Donning a clean black robe and trimming his scruffy beard, Wuyou Zi wore a black hat and left Red Dust Residence through a secret passage.

Pitifully, those seeking him remained waiting outside the door.

Soon after, Wuyou Zi arrived at the front of Red Dust Residence.

He stood at the bridgehead.

"Pei Hongjun, are you willing to meet me?"
