"Ah, no, this is too precious."
As Nangong Lingyun's voice faded, Shui Binger, startled like a frightened bird, immediately scrambled up from the bed and quickly shielded her sister behind her.
In recent times, the Kaiyuan Sect's Divine Medicine had almost caused a sensation throughout the Soul Master world, so of course, she recognized it.
This stuff was worth 500,000 gold soul coins for every 10,000 years of cultivation. It was also only available internally for training camp members. Items with a 70,000-year cultivation were impossible to buy, even with money; they could only be exchanged for Soul Bones.
Half a month ago, a Divine Medicine with a 20,000-year cultivation, from an unknown source, entered an auction house and was shockingly auctioned for a sky-high price of 6.8 million.
The mysterious bidder forced the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to back down. The entire auction house almost went crazy at the time, filled with exclamations.
Although the Shui family possessed a high-level Soul Master Academy, placing them among the top nobility in the Heaven Dou Empire, this item was truly beyond their means. Her own mother had given her all to obtain a 30,000-year one.
Shui Yue'er clearly knew the importance of the situation.
She didn't continue her usual antics and instead said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this."
Nangong Lingyun smiled faintly and directly revealed his true intentions. "Binger, you should know that I admire you greatly.
You're calm, composed, resolute, and quick-thinking. You're also good at concealing yourself, keeping your emotions in check, and rarely letting your feelings cloud your judgment.
At the same time, you have an outstanding talent for cultivation. With normal development, you can at least become a Title Douluo.
For a large power, it's incredibly difficult to find an heir who possesses both of these qualities.
I've gathered talents from all over the world, and so far, only Jing Ling barely meets the requirements. But clearly, with the Kaiyuan Sect's ambitions, one person alone isn't enough.
If you join my ranks, you will not only be cultivated as a core member of the next generation, but you'll also have the opportunity to take the helm of either Kaiyuan Academy or the Kaiyuan Merchant Guild in the future."
Moreover, according to the sect rules, all cultivation resources will be provided by the sect. Spirit Herbs, Divine Medicine, Soul Rings, Soul Bones, Cultivation Techniques, Battle Skills – there's nothing to worry about.
In addition, since all resources are the responsibility of the sect,
the 1.5 million gold soul coins previously used to purchase the Divine Medicine will naturally be refunded. I can make the decision; instead of a refund, I'll use this 70,000-year Divine Medicine to replace it.
You can give it to anyone."
Nangong Lingyun's eyes burned with intensity; Shui Binger was simply too perfect.
In terms of talent and appearance alone, perhaps a few could be found to compare.
But if you add in her personality and intelligence, she would directly crush the love-struck minds and the average IQ of 0.5 in the Douluo world.
If it weren't for Gu Yue Na's incredible talent and background, and if Angel Yan wasn't so difficult to be beneath, he might even have considered making her his main wife in the future, to manage his entire harem.
That way, the house would definitely be tidy, and he wouldn't have to worry about a thing.
But for every gain, there's a loss.
Her powerful intellect and mental fortitude also made Shui Binger the most difficult and slowest to "conquer" among all the girls.
Someone like Hu Liena, with her love-struck personality, didn't even need much effort. Just because he didn't treat her specially, her favorability rating inexplicably skyrocketed every so often. It felt like she was practically giving herself away.
He didn't know what was going on in her head.
Probably something out of a domineering CEO novel...
"Alright, man, you've successfully caught my attention?"
Even the Silver Dragon King was already at fifty percent.
He hadn't even managed to seduce her with his charm, and he was already falling for the "beauty trick" himself.
Yet, with Shui Binger, after careful planning and scheming, the result was that his intentions were seen through.
If it weren't for the system's settlement information, Nangong Lingyun wouldn't even have known he'd been seen through.
After struggling for nearly a month, and having his defenses breached several times, he'd finally reached forty percent. And that was with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill already deployed.
Otherwise, it might have only been twenty.
Faced with this situation, Nangong Lingyun decided to use fewer tricks and more sincerity, opting to show his true colors.
After Nangong Lingyun spoke, the air suddenly fell silent.
Shui Binger lowered her head, seriously pondering, while Yue'er behind her didn't dare to make a sound, not wanting to disturb her.
After more than ten seconds, she finally raised her head and asked, "You've been helping me so much... were you trying to invite me to join the Kaiyuan Sect?"
"Why else? What did you think? Oh, right, there was also an assessment involved."
Nangong Lingyun first looked puzzled, then suddenly realized,
acting as if he hadn't considered that possibility at all, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.
Although Binger had seen through his plan, she hadn't shown it at the time, after all, she didn't let her emotions show,
So, he had no idea that she already knew he'd been exposed.
That way, he could create a "misunderstanding" and make her think she had misunderstood the situation back then.
As soon as he said this, Shui Binger's face instantly flushed red like ink being spilled.
Overwhelmed by immense shame, her body swayed, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Her heart roared with shame and regret:
"Ah, Shui Binger, what on earth were you thinking? Are you a narcissist?
That Nangong Lingyun, what kind of person is he? The esteemed Sect Master of Kaiyuan Sect, with Title Douluo bodyguards, and his own talent and genius are unparalleled.
Even the heads of the upper three sects treat him with respect.
Beauties like Gu Yue Na were eager to get close to him, but he didn't even give them a glance. There were also Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others, all yearning for his attention.
With so many beautiful women vying for his attention, how could he possibly be interested in your mediocre looks?
To think you thought he was trying to hit on you, how conceited!"
"What a typical, overconfident, annoying woman. Luckily, I didn't show any signs of anything at the time, or else..."
If Gu Yue Na were here,
she would have seen right through it instantly. Girl, wake up! It's still a trick. Even if it's a brand new version, the core is still just wanting your body.
You're on the third level, thinking he's on the first, but in reality, he's on the fifth, deliberately pretending to be on the first.
This has nothing to do with intelligence; it's purely because she understands a certain someone's nature too well.
A man who juggles eight different social events in a single day, simultaneously pursuing different beauties, can he be trusted in this regard? But the even more intelligent Shui Binger became increasingly ashamed, her head practically turning into a steam engine.
She felt she'd completely embarrassed herself this time, constantly battling wits with thin air.
There was nothing she could do; she was trapped in a mental blind spot.
Shui Yue'er hadn't dared to disturb her sister's thoughts earlier. Now, seeing Binger's expression, she reached out and supported her own forehead, her tone and eyes incredibly exaggerated as she sighed,
"Well, now he's really a brother-in-law."
Then she was swiftly silenced by her sister's iron fist.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I won't, I won't. My lips are sealed tight, especially since the hush money is so expensive. I wouldn't be able to pay it off even if I sold myself."
After saying this, Yue'er zipped out of the room, leaving the two with some privacy.
Nangong Lingyun immediately leaned in, whispering gently in her ear,
"Binger, are you alright? Why is your face so red?"
"It's nothing, just thinking about something."
"That's good. What's your decision? Do you want to join the Kaiyuan Sect?"
"Yes, I'll join."
