56: The junior sister in Wang Hengtian's room...

Wang Hengtian was also checked off Xu Xin's blacklist; he would be the next to die.

At the same time, the soundproof array plate was retrieved, and the scene was quickly cleaned up. Xu Xi, with a genial expression, sat down on a clean armchair.

A moment later, a miscellaneous disciple ran in, smiling, carrying a purple clay pot.

Seeing the suddenly reduced number of tables and chairs in the room, he was immediately puzzled.

"Hey~ that's not right. How did half the furniture disappear after I went out?"

"Senior Brother Xu, this is excellent tea specially selected by our Hall of Offerings from within the Xuanjian Sect's jurisdiction. We collect a lot of it every year. Please have a taste; its flavor will surely not disappoint you."

However, despite his internal confusion, the miscellaneous disciple's movements were not slow. He immediately poured a cup of tea for Xu Xi, while mumbling an introduction to the tea's origin.

"This... Senior Brother Wang, why do you look a bit disheveled? Did the two senior brothers perhaps spar just now?"

After pouring tea for Xu Xi, he tilted the teapot towards Wang Hengtian.

Looking at Wang Hengtian's demeanor, he couldn't help but feel strange.

But he wasn't curious for too long. After approaching Wang Hengtian, the miscellaneous disciple whispered a few words into Wang Hengtian's ear.

Suddenly, using his powerful divine sense, Xu Xi caught a few keywords.

"Room, ready, satisfactory."

"Is this guy playing some new trick?"

"No, I have to go see."

Pondering in his mind, Xu Xi would never let go of any opportunity to tear apart Wang Hengtian's mental defenses.

After all, for now, if he couldn't eliminate Wang Hengtian within the Xuanjian Sect, he could only collect some interest first.

Thinking this, after the miscellaneous disciple withdrew, Xu Xi took a small sip of tea, glanced at Wang Hengtian, and then silently twisted his wrist as he rose from the armchair.

"Xu Xi, you... what do you want to do?"

"I'm warning you, I was unprepared just now, which is why you caught me with one strike. But now, do you still think you can send me flying with a single punch?"

His voice was a bit stammering, and his face turned pale, completely devoid of color. Wang Hengtian's words now were clearly a show of bravado, completely unable to intimidate Xu Xi.

"Look at your courage. I'm just stretching!"

"It's perfectly normal to stretch your muscles and bones after sitting for a long time, isn't it?"

Smiling, Xu Xi watched Wang Hengtian, seeing all his small movements. And this was precisely the goal Xu Xi wanted to achieve.

Subsequently, his stretching movements became larger and larger. Several times, Xu Xi's palm almost slapped Wang Hengtian's face, nearly making intimate contact.

The reason he didn't hit him was because Wang Hengtian dodged quickly enough, constantly keeping an eye on Xu Xi's every move.

Wang Hengtian would not believe any of Xu Xi's nonsense. Now, facing Xu Xi, Wang Hengtian would definitely be 100% on guard.

He would not be caught off guard and beaten like before, with grievances he couldn't voice.

"I still have some matters to attend to. Junior Brother Xu, please continue to sit for a while. If you finish your tea, you can also leave directly. Please forgive my inadequate hospitality."

Wang Hengtian, filled with apprehension, was truly restless. Finally, under Xu Xi's various provocations, he could no longer bear the pressure and left the Branch temple.

He was beaten and fled in disarray on his own territory by an enemy.

Leaving first, Wang Hengtian's first action was not to deal with the matter the miscellaneous disciple had whispered to him.

Instead, he went to the main hall of the Hall of Offerings, where the offerings resided.

If the junior was beaten, then naturally he had to tell the senior. Even if they couldn't stand up for Wang Hengtian, at least they could come up with a countermeasure.

"He finally left. Then let me see... what treasures you've hidden in that room!"

Looking at Wang Hengtian's embarrassed retreating figure, Xu Xi was naturally extremely pleased.

At the same time, Xu Xi also guessed that after leaving, Wang Hengtian would not go to his room first, but would instead go to inform the offerings of the Hall of Offerings on how to deal with the threat from the Great Elder's faction.

One could only say that Wang Hengtian's psychological state was completely grasped by Xu Xi.

Of course, after Wang Hengtian left, Xu Xi's plan proceeded smoothly.

He didn't even drink the tea. After confirming that Wang Hengtian wouldn't return, he stepped out to search other rooms within the Branch temple... "Hmm?"

"Is that... a guard disciple?"

"That must be the room then, with people specifically guarding it. This Wang Hengtian actually has some brains."

"I knew it. He left so quickly, daring to leave me here alone. Turns out he had already prepared a fallback."

After exploring for half a circle, Xu Xi immediately spotted two disciples guarding either side of a room's main door. Their strength was not low; both were in the Body-Penetrating Realm.

Of course, "not low strength" here referred to not low in the eyes of ordinary people.

In the eyes of someone like Xu Xi, it wasn't much to look at.

A brilliant plan immediately formed in his mind. He casually picked up a small stone at his feet, threw it forcefully, and the stone rolled a short distance in front of the room door, attracting the attention of the guard disciples.

"Clatter..."

"What was that sound?"

"Go check it out. It better not be some thief."

"The sect hasn't been very peaceful lately. I heard that a disciple was found accidentally dead in Gui Xin Hall today, and they still haven't figured out who did it."

The unusual sound of the stone instantly triggered the alertness of the vigilant guards.

During their conversation, the two guards reminded each other, then quickly ran to the source of the strange noise.

Upon arrival, they were disappointed to find nothing unusual.

It was in this instant that Xu Xi, relying on his excellent speed, executed his Light Goose Steps, instantly arriving at the door. Before the two guards could turn their heads, he had already opened the door.

Then, he casually set up a soundproof array, closed the door again, and no sound was emitted.

However, after all these actions were completed, the scene inside the room immediately stunned Xu Xi.

"You... you are... Senior Brother Xu Xi!"

"Why did you come? Wasn't it agreed that Senior Brother Wang Hengtian would come?"

"Could it be that the two of you have already conspired?"

A delicate voice came. Before he could even turn around, he suddenly heard a woman's voice, and Xu Xi's eyes became playful.

Looking behind him, Xu Xi then saw a female disciple with a delicate appearance, who, though young, already possessed considerable assets.

Her chest was remarkably prominent, towering majestically. Her black hair was styled into twin pigtails, perfect for use as handholds to increase attack speed.

Before Xu Xi could react to who the female disciple opposite him was, she recognized Xu Xi.

She also let out an exclamation. The woman in the room clearly couldn't believe that Xu Xi was also involved in this incident.

"?"

"So, what they meant by 'ready' was *this* kind of 'ready'. Well, now I'm interested."

"NTR, and it's something the other party has never obtained. This 'first blood'... I'll gladly accept it!"

"Heheheh~"

Although he was surprised why there was a female disciple in the room, after a moment's thought, Xu Xi immediately understood what was going on.

He then let out a sinister laugh, causing the female disciple sitting on the bed to feel a pang of fear.
