45: A pedestrian juicer? Fill it up!

After all, for someone at the Spirit Forming stage to fight at the Spirit Forming stage, anyone would suspect foul play.

Of course, it was not difficult to understand why Zhuge Zhengwo came, accompanied by Xun Ya.

Looking towards Ye Xueqing, Xu Xi’s expression held a hint of teasing.

Ye Xueqing knew Xun Ya’s intentions better than anyone.

“Hmm, I know.”

“Where is he? Take me to see Elder Zhuge.”

The astonishment lasted only a moment; having understood everything, Xu Xi naturally wanted to meet Zhuge Zhengwo, who had come with such a large entourage.

“He’s inside the Spirit Stone Mine. Elder Zhuge is still checking if there are any additional hidden arrangements left by the Xiaoyao Sect within the mine.”

Seeing Xu Xi’s strange look towards her, and the emphasis on the words “Xun Ya,” Ye Xueqing knew what he was thinking.

She glared at Xu Xi, annoyed.

“I’ve given you everything. No matter how Xun Ya acts, how could I possibly be moved?”

...Leading Xu Xi straight ahead, they arrived inside the Spirit Stone Mine in just a moment.

At this moment, Zhuge Zhengwo and Xun Ya were standing there perfectly still within the mine.

Neither of them spoke a word, just standing quietly, as if they were specifically waiting for Xu Xi.

“You’ve finally arrived.”

“I didn’t expect it. Talented people emerge generation after generation, each leading for a hundred years. It seems this old man can no longer lift his blade.”

“Nephew Xu is truly astonishing.”

The moment Xu Xi stepped into the mine, Zhuge Zhengwo already knew of his arrival.

He immediately praised him, but Zhuge Zhengwo’s expression showed no joy; he remained as indifferent as ever, making it impossible to tell if this was genuine gratitude or merely superficial flattery.

“Elder Zhuge, you exaggerate. I’ve merely made some progress recently.”

“Coupled with the treasure my father gave me, I was able to ambush and kill that old dog Teng Nuo. That old dog’s strength was greatly exaggerated, so I was lucky to succeed.”

Facing Zhuge Zhengwo, Xu Xi did not display too much sharpness or disrespect.

Since the other party had no evidence, even if he suspected something about Ye Liufeng’s death, he wouldn’t overstep the rules and directly attack him.

So Xu Xi currently had to continue his act.

Casually throwing out an excuse, Xu Xi didn’t care if Zhuge Zhengwo would believe him.

Since the words were spoken, Xu Xi watched Zhuge Zhengwo intently, wanting to see his reaction.

“Oh?”

“Then it seems Nephew Xu came prepared, and I was perhaps making a mountain out of a molehill.”

On his unruffled face, his slightly furrowed brows lifted. Zhuge Zhengwo didn’t believe Xu Xi’s words, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

He could only let the matter drop, glancing over at the disciples accompanying Xu Xi, attempting to glean some abnormality from their eyes.

However, since Xu Xi dared to bring these disciples, he must have already taken care of them, ensuring they wouldn't expose anything.

Zhuge Zhengwo looked, but not a single one made a sound.

Then, he sighed helplessly, saying,

“Since that is the case, Nephew Xu may lead his team away.”

“With such battle results, I imagine Nephew Xu will also take first place in this trial. I congratulate Nephew Xu in advance for securing a spot in the Juefeng Secret Realm.”

“Thank you for the praise, Elder Zhuge. This junior will take his leave now.”

Cupping his fists, Xu Xi immediately left with Ye Xueqing and Zhao Yaqian.

Although he wasn't worried that the other party would attack him, Xu Xi wouldn't linger unnecessarily if it meant seeing one less person who bothered him.

With one arm around Ye Xueqing and the other around Zhao Yaqian, he retreated, leaving behind a dashing figure.

“Still no discoveries. I didn’t expect this child to hide himself so perfectly.”

“He has even more cunning than his father, the Great Elder.”

“I just wonder if you two, father and son, will truly work together?”

“According to the information I have, your father has been making quite a few subtle moves behind the scenes.”

Watching Xu Xi leave, Zhuge Zhengwo’s expression turned sour, unlike his earlier upright and amiable demeanor.

Recalling some of Xu Jiayin’s other actions, Zhuge Zhengwo couldn’t help but develop some interest in the scene that might unfold between Xu Xi and Xu Jiayin in the future.

Although Zhuge Zhengwo wouldn't engage in petty tricks behind people's backs, it didn't stop him from enjoying the excellent drama of a father and son turning against each other... Leaving the Spirit Stone Mine, Xu Xi naturally didn't know what Zhuge Zhengwo was thinking.

Of course, even if he knew, Xu Xi wouldn’t care.

Transmigrating to another world, Xu Xi only regarded Xu Jiayin, his nominal father, as an optional NPC, without investing too much emotion.

If the other party maintained a normal relationship with him, Xu Xi could even use this blood tie to help him advance further.

But if the other party made any secret moves to harm Xu Xi, then Xu Xi could only stage a famous scene of filial piety.

Embracing Ye Xueqing and Zhao Yaqian, Xu Xi left the Spirit Stone Mine without lingering for a second, instead embarking on the journey back to the Xuanjian Sect.

Along the way, Xu Xi passed through many small towns and cities, trying to get the system to spawn one or two more capture targets.

But without exception, there were no results.

This made Xu Xi himself feel depressed; it seemed the system didn’t want him to live.

Wanting Yin Qi but not giving him capture targets, wasn’t this like a clever housewife unable to cook without rice?

The journey was uneventful. After a day of travel, Xu Xi, Ye Xueqing, Zhao Yaqian, and the others returned victorious.

Their deeds caused a huge stir within the sect.

Of course, Xu Xi himself didn’t care about these things. After handling the necessary chores and registering his battle merits, he went straight to Xia Junling’s residence.

He was as familiar with the way as ever. Knowing that Xia Junling was in her boudoir, it didn’t take Xu Xi long to reach her door.

Without even knocking, Xu Xi directly stepped inside.

Inside the room, Xia Junling seemed to have sensed Xu Xi’s arrival long ago.

She said nothing, just quietly looked at Xu Xi, her eyes filled with anticipation—a longing for nourishment that had been absent for too long.

“It’s been a few days, and your complexion isn’t looking too good, Madam. How about I, this sect disciple, properly help you alleviate your worries and replenish you?”

Undressing, Xu Xi’s movements were incredibly smooth; he didn’t even bother with foreplay.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he pushed Xia Junling onto the bed and began to explore.

“Pah!”

“Are you that horny, you scoundrel?”

“You must have been messing around a lot outside, right? That girl Xue Qing, and that vixen named Zhao Yaqian—I’ve heard plenty about her fawning over you.”

“Aren’t those two enough for you?”

Pushed down by Xu Xi, Xia Junling didn’t resist, but her words still carried some dissatisfaction.

However, this dissatisfaction soon transformed into various forms of motivation, making Xia Junling relentlessly demand from Xu Xi, wanting to drain him dry.

A human juicer would be no different.

“Before was before, now is now. I merely want to give them a home, Madam, please don’t be angry.”

“Now, let me properly satisfy you.”

Carelessly making small talk, Xu Xi, facing Xia Junling’s strong counterattack, naturally didn’t indulge her.

He grabbed her arms, connected to the port from behind, successfully transmitted data, then began to sprint, with the power maxed out.
