"Then tell me, what reason can I use to reasonably invest in Chu Xiao and avoid conflict between the Yun Lan Sect and the Xiao Family?" After a moment of emotion, Yun Yun decisively let Ya Fei's clever mind strategize for her.
"That's very simple." Ya Fei casually brushed her long hair and said calmly, "Sister Yun Yun can go directly to the Xiao Family Manor, express her appreciation for Chu Xiao's talent, and offer to take him as a disciple. That would solve everything once and for all."
Yun Yun was immediately tempted. If she could become Chu Xiao's teacher, even for a short time, she might receive the same treatment as Yao Lao.
However, the next moment, her ear tips flushed red. Gathering Dou Qi on her fingertip, she lightly poked Ya Fei's brow. "Oh, you're still making fun of me."
Chu Xiao had mentioned in his notebook that he had an ambiguous relationship with her, and that in a sense, she was the first woman he had a crush on when his heart first opened.
If she were to take him as a disciple, would it lead to an illicit affair? Would Chu Xiao become a Rebellious Disciple?
Of course, given Chu Xiao's personality, he definitely wouldn't agree, unless he had some strange Hobbies.
This was simply not a feasible plan.
"How dare I? I was just joking." Ya Fei reached up to cover her forehead, saying with a slight wince, "Chu Xiao will definitely refuse, but wouldn't that establish a connection between you two, Sister Yun Yun?"
"You can just say that although you can't be master and disciple, as a Senior, you think highly of him, and then give him a Cultivation Technique, Fighting Skill, or Medicinal Pill."
"Investing generously will actually make people less suspicious. As for Chu Xiao having high standards now and looking down on the Cultivation Technique, Fighting Skill, and Medicinal Pill you can offer, you don't know that, do you?"
As she spoke, Ya Fei blinked, full of suggestive meaning.
"Not bad." Yun Yun's heart filled with joy, and she nodded in approval.
She knew from the notebook's contents that Chu Xiao lacked nothing.
But Chu Xiao didn't know that she could see the notebook, so she could easily pretend not to know anything.
As a Senior, giving him some Cultivation Technique, Fighting Skill, and Medicinal Pill would naturally complete the "investment."
Chu Xiao also seemed to have no reason to refuse and could only accept her good intentions.
Then, he would certainly repay her in the future.
"Besides that, Sister, you can also take the Opportunity to express your stance on Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement," Ya Fei continued. "From the existing information, the Yun Lan Sect and the Xiao Family's animosity likely stemmed from some issues during the Three-Year Agreement."
"If you express your stance beforehand, it can also reduce some misunderstandings."
"Moreover, if you go to see Chu Xiao beforehand, he might recall the full story of the animosity in detail in his notebook."
"Knowing the reason will allow you to address the problem effectively."
Yun Yun wanted to applaud Ya Fei; this woman truly had some tricks up her sleeve.
"No wonder you will be highly regarded by Chu Xiao and brought to the Major Thousand Worlds in the future." Yun Yun gave a thumbs up.
"Oh, I just have a little bit of cleverness." Light shimmered in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes.
Knowing about her perfect future, she felt more relaxed than ever before.
What was Mu Zhan's pursuit compared to that?
With Chu Xiao protecting her, she could even walk sideways in the Major Thousand Worlds in the future!
"So, should I go to the Xiao Family now?" Yun Yun was eager to move.
"You can, it's not abrupt time-wise. Nalan Yanran just left, so your visit, Sister, will further demonstrate your stance," Ya Fei thought it was fine.
"Good." Yun Yun immediately prepared to set off.
But after only two steps, she received a notification that the notebook had been updated.
[Dou Master cultivation is still too weak; it's not enough. Xiao Yanzi and Nalan Yanran were both Great Dou Masters at eighteen. Compared to them, I'm far behind.]
[Starting over, I don't need to take the path of using the Life-Devouring Pill to exhaust my potential to Dou King, then breaking through to Dou Emperor within three years.]
[First, I'll use a secret method to restore some strength, then go into seclusion for a few days.]
Yun Yun: "…"
I was just about to find you, and now you're going into seclusion.
If I didn't lack evidence, I'd think you were targeting me.
"It seems, Sister, you'll have to stay here for a few days." Ya Fei smiled and stood up. "Utan City has good local customs; you can visit them, Sister."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you for a while." Yun Yun smiled faintly like an orchid.
"But Sister, you should still go to the Xiao Family first to express your stance." With a glimpse of her slender beautiful legs, Ya Fei walked to Yun Yun's side. "First, eliminate the Xiao Family's hostility, then express your intention to take Chu Xiao as a disciple. Clan Chief Xiao Zhan will surely ask you to wait."
"Once Chu Xiao comes out of seclusion, it will be natural for you to go, Sister Yun Yun, and it won't raise any suspicions."
"Hmm." Yun Yun also thought of this and nodded, "I'll go now."
"When I return, I'll help you cultivate."
Yun Yun also knew how to apply what she learned. Since she was going to invest in the Xiao Family and Chu Xiao, she might as well invest in Ya Fei too.
As her voice faded, her figure vanished like a gentle breeze.
"Strength, ah…"
Ya Fei sighed, crossed her arms, and walked with small, cat-like steps to the door.
"Send hot water to my room; I want to bathe," Ya Fei instructed the maid.
It was too uncomfortable down there; she had to wash.
"Whoosh ~"
A quarter of an hour later, Ya Fei soaked in the bathtub, wiping her delicate skin.
Even now, she still found it incredible that she had obtained such an Opportunity and knew that her future was bright.
The changes brought by the notebook allowed her, a small Dou Zhe, to now be sisters with Yun Yun.
Women, indeed, as long as they share a secret, easily become close friends.
Yun Yun even wanted to personally teach her.
"Oh, right, the notebook mentioned Grand Elder Hai Bodong."
"It seems I also need to spend more time around Chu Xiao. Maybe I can get some news."
A Mittel Family with Ice Emperor and one without are completely different in influence!
At the same time, in Qingshan Town.
Little Fairy Doctor, who was packing her luggage, blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Seclusion?"
"It won't be for several days, will it?"
Fortunately, she had some savings, so staying in an inn in Utan City for a while wouldn't be a problem.
"I'll just find a place in the Xiao Family Manor. Maybe I'll even run into him."
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were full of anticipation for a beautiful future.
On the other side, in Stone Desert City, Qing Lin, who had been full of energy all morning, wilted.
With Chu Xiao in seclusion, he probably wouldn't come to Stone Desert City to find her for a while.
"It's okay, Young Master Chu Xiao should prioritize his strength, of course."
"I've been alone for so many years; a few more days won't matter."
Qing Lin reached out and patted her cheeks, muttering softly.
She didn't know, however, that someone was secretly observing her.
This person had originally planned to leave, but upon hearing her words, their body suddenly froze.
When Qing Lin returned to her small single room, she saw a woman half-reclining on her bed.
A black-laced red dress outlined a breathtaking figure, extremely enchanting. Her face was also exceptionally alluring, with phoenix eyes that shimmered, exuding charm.
The woman was also sizing up Qing Lin.
Young in age, but her figure was exceptionally well-developed, a prime example of a "childlike face, voluptuous body." Her innocent expression was truly endearing.
"Qing Lin."
The woman sat up, her voice carrying a hint of seductive sweetness that made Qing Lin feel as if her body would melt.
But what made her heart tremble even more was that the other party knew her, and what she said next.
"Guess who I am."
"Guess wrong, and I'll go kill Chu Xiao~"
Qing Lin: !!!
