167: Chapter 167 Is he really suitable?

Murong Liyue's affection for Leng Qianming had dissipated significantly; she had even begun to feel repulsed and disgusted by him.

When comparing Ye Xuan's handsome face with Leng Qianming's face, which was as cold as an ice block, there was simply no comparison.

Thinking of the man and woman in the dual cultivation manual from earlier, Murong Liyue couldn't help but subconsciously replace the man with Ye Xuan's immortal-like appearance, and her pretty face instantly turned even redder.

"Pah, indecent!"

However, only a few minutes later, Murong Liyue couldn't resist picking up the manual she had just thrown away. She hid under her covers and began to look at it slowly. The illustrations inside were so vivid and lifelike. After a long while, she murmured, "If only the people inside were me and Ye Xuan."

"What on earth happened during the few days Liyue was away?"

On the road, the more Leng Qianming thought about it, the stranger it felt. He couldn't help but mutter to himself with a gloomy expression, "Liyue didn't even call me 'brother' this time. What exactly happened? Lin Qingzhu is only in the Earth Profound Realm, while Liyue is already in the Heaven Profound Realm. That shouldn't be anything to fear!"

"And also, Liyue, why are you avoiding me this time?"

As the successor groomed by the Leng family, Leng Qianming was no fool; he immediately sensed that Murong Liyue was avoiding him.

"There's no reason for this. Could it be that Saint Murong no longer wants to proceed with the marriage alliance? That shouldn't be possible, right?!"

Thinking of this, Leng Qianming took out the sound transmission stone left to him by his ancestor. After carefully considering his words, he transmitted his voice: "Ancestor, I went to see Liyue today, but she doesn't seem to want to see me. Perhaps she no longer wishes to enter into a marriage alliance with our Leng family."

"What? The little Princess Murong won't let you see her? That shouldn't be the case. In a while, I will go find that old monster Murong and ask him what exactly is going on."

Leng Lishang pondered for a moment and replied, "You, you didn't cherish it when it was within your reach, and now you know to come to your ancestor to solve the problem. You child, spend more effort coaxing the little princess. Women, you know, always have those few days when they are unhappy…"

Standing on his profound artifact, Leng Qianming looked at the message on the sound transmission stone. He thought about it carefully, his expression changing several times, and decided that his ancestor was indeed correct.

"Sigh, I must be overthinking it. Liyue will probably read the dual cultivation manual, right? If she gets tempted, she will definitely come to find me on her own!"

Recalling Liyue's delicate body, Leng Qianming couldn't help but tremble, comforting himself.

Northwest Great Territory, Yan City, Wang family.

"Sigh, I really owe it to you, kid Ye." Elder Wang looked incredulously at the mess caused by "Jun Ze." He hadn't expected that his own kindness would lead to such a huge amount of trouble.

"How about it? I wasn't fooling you, was I?" Ye Xuan looked at Elder Wang, his eyes filled with helplessness.

As it turned out, the two of them had already set up this act through secret voice transmissions beforehand.

At the beginning, Elder Wang hadn't believed it, but the chaotic situation before his eyes and inside his body was simply unparalleled.

Half of his vitality had been absorbed. Fortunately, he knew that his granddaughter, Wang Mengqi, knew alchemy, and it could be compensated for in the future.

"Many thanks, True Disciple Ye." There was no need for further words. Elder Wang just glanced at the tattered clothes on the ground with a hint of sorrow: "I thought that in my twilight years, I might still encounter true love. I really didn't expect to encounter such a snake-hearted woman."

"Elder Wang, please reflect carefully. If I hadn't been able to detect it, I'm afraid things wouldn't have ended like this today." There was also helplessness in Ye Xuan's voice.

However, his gains today were truly quite good. Having devoured the Supreme Saint Physique of the Galaxy, his Evil God Physique showed signs of becoming stronger.

Furthermore, a new profound technique was faintly gestating within him; perhaps once it fully manifested, it would give Ye Xuan a pleasant surprise.

"Creak—" The door was pushed open, and Wang Mengqi arrived at the Wang family courtyard. A woman wearing a sky-blue gauze dress walked in, holding a bottle of pills. There was a hint of joy on her pretty face: "Grandfather, Young Master Ye, the Soul-Suppressing Pill has been successfully refined!"

"Ah, Grandfather, why has your hair suddenly turned so white?" After seeing Elder Wang's face clearly, Wang Mengqi was extremely surprised, almost dropping the pill bottle in her hand to the ground.

"Sigh…" Elder Wang was somewhat ashamed to speak and didn't want to dwell on this matter. His face was aged, his skin that had originally been fair and bright was now wrinkled, and his back had hunched significantly.

Hearing this, Wang Mengqi did not press for details. She simply used what she had learned to check the ailments on her grandfather, Elder Wang, and discovered that his longevity had decreased significantly.

"Grandfather, you must be extremely careful from now on. Otherwise, if your longevity decreases again, even if I want to save you, it will be very difficult to do so."

Although Wang Mengqi was very confident that she could reach the level of a Pill Emperor in the future, that was the future, and no one could say for sure.

"True Disciple Ye, do you know what exactly happened to my grandfather?"

Hearing this question, Ye Xuan glanced at Wang Mengqi and finally replied: "Elder Wang has been guarding the Sunset Ravine for these past years, and his body has long been hollowed out. Just now, he was further exhausted by the matter regarding Jun Ze, which is why he has become like this."

"What? Jun Ze!" Wang Mengqi was surprised, and a trace of anger immediately appeared on her pretty face. What kind of trouble had that fool caused again?

"Where is he, Grandfather!"

"Sigh—" Elder Wang sighed again and did not answer.

"Rest assured, these are all just minor matters." Seeing the two's actions, Ye Xuan could only inject a portion of the vitality he had just devoured from "Jun Ze" into Elder Wang's body.

"This…" Feeling the fluctuations within his body, Elder Wang couldn't help but be somewhat astonished. The face that had previously been wrinkled had now returned to its former appearance.

"Many thanks to Young Master Ye for saving his life!" Seeing that her grandfather's appearance had returned, Wang Mengqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a look of gratitude, she bowed to Ye Xuan, and at the same time, her favorability had reached ninety.

"Alright, alright, as for this matter, let your grandfather tell you slowly when the time comes. I won't explain further." Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan didn't want to say anything more and just mentioned it indifferently.

"Mhm, Elder Wang, you still remember our agreement, right? Take me to see that medium-sized spirit stone mine tomorrow."

"That is only natural." Elder Wang nodded, indicating his agreement with what Ye Xuan said. If he hadn't been here today, he feared he would have been in trouble today.

It was getting late. Within the Wang family grounds, Wang Mengqi's cave dwelling had the most concentrated spiritual energy.

"Mengqi, take True Disciple Ye to your cave dwelling to rest." Elder Wang looked at Ye Xuan and his granddaughter, Wang Mengqi, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master Ye, come with Mengqi!" Upon hearing this, Wang Mengqi's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. Her grandfather's words had truly given her an opportunity. One might ask, which woman wouldn't be moved upon seeing a man like Ye Xuan? They would all be infatuated! Moreover, her grandfather had given her such a good opportunity to be alone with him.
