Chapter 120: Chapter 98: Ji Mingyu’s "Perfect Plan" (Part 3)

Looking back, among Chu Xuan’s old flames from six or seven hundred years ago, there were women with the ’arrogant’ attribute, so Qingqing’s threat is obviously the greatest.

If the two continue to interact, and go through life and death struggles, Qingqing’s position in Chu Xuan’s heart will rise rapidly, ultimately threatening her own place.

Yes, Ji Mingyu believes that the woman Chu Xuan loves most now is still herself, she is confident about this.

Before Chu Xuan and these three women reach an inseparable stage, if she reveals the truth to him in advance, urging him to break off and leave with her back to Langhuan Grotto Heaven, he will most likely agree.

However... Ji Mingyu hesitated, as this conflicted with her initial plan.

After pondering repeatedly, Ji Mingyu decided to temporarily not reveal the truth.

Even if, when the time comes, Chu Xuan resents her or hates her, it won’t matter.

Certainly, meeting again at the flower banquet is also an excellent opportunity.

She needs to make Chu Xuan understand that cultivation is the foundation for cultivators, without strong power, you can’t protect anything, just like before!

With her plan set, Ji Mingyu looked at the scene of Chu Xuan laughing and chatting with the two women, feeling displeased, but she secretly admonished herself to tolerate it now.

Everything will proceed perfectly according to my plan.

...

On Chu Xuan’s side, they could have left during the day, but strolling through the market with women, especially two women, caused them to be delayed, until night fell.

During this, an incident occurred, with the Lingshu Pill Sect and several law enforcement cultivators searching everywhere for traitors and even breaking into a jewelry store.

The two beautiful women beside Chu Xuan were particularly targeted as suspects.

Fortunately, Gu Haitang revealed the token of the East Immortal Pavilion Master, intimidating everyone from being rude; the law enforcement cultivators were all very respectful, while those from the Pill Sect were as frantic as if their pants were on fire.

After confirming Gu Haitang’s extraordinary background and that she couldn’t possibly shelter traitors, they hastily urged the law enforcement cultivators to search elsewhere.

This allowed Chu Xuan and Qingqing to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as they knew Qingqing wouldn’t withstand scrutiny; although she wasn’t a sect traitor, she practiced authentic demonic cultivation techniques.

In these turbulent times, if it was discovered that a demonic cultivator infiltrated a righteous marketplace, it would not end easily without a confrontation.

If the situation escalated, with the market arrays activated, even if they won they couldn’t escape.

The East Immortal Pavilion isn’t owned by any single entity; several major financiers are behind it, the biggest being the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion, followed by the Lingshu Pill Sect.

This sect excels at making various spirit pills and medicines, even able to refine the top-grade pill that extends lifespans, the ’Nine Revolutions Life-extending Pill’, enjoying a good reputation in the cultivation world.

In this marketplace, they occupy the East Immortal Origin Blessed Land, the only Earth Fire Flame Cave, exclusively for firing up and refining high-quality pills.

The Pill Sect is considered a large and wealthy enterprise, with daily gold intake; although they need to share profits with partners in the marketplace, they have substantial say.

Watching the aggressive group withdraw, Gu Haitang showed a puzzled expression, "How did the Lingshu Pill Sect suddenly produce a traitor?"

"A traitor is one thing, but for them to be this frantic is another."

Qingqing casually replied, "Didn’t they just say?"

"That traitor has been lurking for years, suddenly assassinated a sect elder today, and stole a batch of spirit medicines and pill recipes, among them a bottle of top-grade spirit pills; no wonder they’re in a panic."

Qingqing didn’t want to reveal her background to Gu Haitang, so she acted nonchalantly, not mentioning the idea of leaving immediately.

Yet Chu Xuan timely said, "Anyway, it doesn’t concern us. We’ve bought what we needed, let’s hit the road."

But Gu Haitang shook her head, "The sky has darkened, why not stay here for the night?"

"Don’t worry, my Purple Heaven Jade Mansion has properties here, I assure you, no one would dare disturb us."

Chu Xuan thought it over, leaving tomorrow would avoid the current turmoil, an excellent choice.

After all, in these parts, Gu Haitang, a Purple Heaven prodigy, held significant sway; further away, others may not grant her this respect.

So he nodded in agreement, and the three headed to rest at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion established by the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion.

...

That night, Gu Haitang, already prepared, intended to speak privately with Chu Xuan.

Coincidentally, Qingqing had similar thoughts, leading to the two meeting at Chu Xuan’s door.

They exchanged glances, Qingqing smiled slightly, "As the local, I’ll let you go first, Gu miss; I’ll come over later to chat with you, is that alright?"

Gu Haitang felt intrigued, slightly discontent with Qingqing’s ’I yield to you’ attitude.

However, on the surface, she calmly said, "Qingqing miss, if you have something to say, please do."

Yet Qingqing shook her head, waved her hand, and left, like a proud rooster that had won a fight.

Watching Qingqing’s swagger, Gu Haitang secretly gritted her teeth, wondering what the fox spirit was displaying here?

Was it just because Chu Xuan had voluntarily bought things for her during the day?

Stay cool, stay cool, Gu Haitang took a deep breath, remembering her true purpose.

This time, coming to contact Chu Xuan was mainly to fulfill family missions, not because she felt anything for him.

...

After the knock on the door, Chu Xuan immediately stepped forward to open it.

He wasn’t cultivating, so naturally, he was aware of what was happening outside the door, feeling a headache at that moment.
