79: Purple is very charming, and Wan'er is even more charming

Frowning slightly, Tang Wan, a person of Reaching the Profound strength, naturally wouldn't be naive.

Hearing Xu Xi's slightly teasing words, she immediately thought of something unpleasant.

Then, with a hint of anger, she looked at Xu Xi, her eyes also carrying a playful glint.

"Ah, this..."

"Ahem, just kidding, Wan'er, in my heart, you are of course the most beautiful, and, very tasteful! They all say purple is very charming, but, Wan'er, you are even more charming!"

Smiling awkwardly, Xu Xi hadn't expected things to develop this way. Are all women's thoughts so erratic?

"But... is that old dog really Liu Xuanfeng?"

"Let's go and take a look. I want to see what intentions this old dog has coming to the territory under the Xuanjian Sect's jurisdiction. Also, Wan'er, if you don't mind, could you help me get rid of this annoying scoundrel?"

After the playful banter, Xu Xi immediately became serious. When he wasn't being crazy, he was quite proper.

He immediately had Tang Wan change their direction of travel, preparing to get closer to see what Liu Xuanfeng was up to. If possible, perhaps Tang Wan could help Xu Xi solve a big problem.

"Going to take a look is no problem, but for me to act? Don't be so wishful. Have you forgotten the alliance pact jointly established by our major states?"

"To prevent powerful sects from attacking across states, except in special circumstances, no strong individual from any sect is allowed to attack a weaker individual from another state. Once discovered, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the Central State."

With spiritual power infused, the shuyue boat's direction changed. Tang Wan did not refuse Xu Xi's request, but she certainly couldn't agree to the latter part of Xu Xi's words.

That would violate the alliance pact jointly established by the various states. As a top sect in the Central State, the Purple Cloud Sect naturally had to lead by example to gain respect, and not commit any acts that could be used against them.

"That makes sense. But, if the rules are effective, and even a behemoth like your Purple Cloud Sect abides by them, then why did that old dog Zheng Dayi dare to chase and kill me?"

"Is he really not afraid of me spreading this matter?"

After Tang Wan explained, Xu Xi understood, but a greater doubt emerged.

He had just been chased at high speed by Zheng Dayi, and Zheng Dayi was clearly aiming to assassinate Xu Xi. It didn't seem like his Thunderclap Pavilion was afraid of such an alliance pact.

"Well..."

"Do I have to say it and reopen your wound?"

"What is your sect's strength, and what is the Xiaoyao Sect's strength?"

"If I hadn't arrived in time, and Zheng Dayi had killed you, who in your Xuanjian Sect would have known you died by Zheng Dayi's hand?"

"The Xiaoyao Sect is different. Their Sect Leader, Jiang Chengyun, is in his prime. Although he is still in the Entering Profundity, given time, he may not be unable to enter the Dao-level."

When Xu Xi asked this, Tang Wan was initially speechless and a bit reluctant to answer the question. However, seeing Xu Xi's sincere gaze, she still revealed this cruel truth.

"Family, who understands? I met a terrible man, completely oblivious to his own strength. Your Xuanjian Sect's Sect Leader is gone, and you still want to be on equal footing with the Xiaoyao Sect?"

"Ah, this..."

"Indeed, lies don't hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade..."

When Tang Wan said this, it was Xu Xi's turn to be speechless. This was a complete checkmate, and Xu Xi had no way to refute it.

If she had said something about him having connections in the Central State, Xu Xi could have endured it, and even boasted, saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man in poverty."

But if she said Xu Xi had no strength and couldn't compare to the Xiaoyao Sect, then Xu Xi could only swallow his anger silently.

Because the current Xu Xi really had no strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been chased and killed by Zheng Dayi.

"Is that... the shuyue boat, Elder Tang?"

"Why is she coming to the Xuanjian Sect?"

While Tang Wan and Xu Xi were discussing and approaching Liu Xuanfeng, in the distance, although Liu Xuanfeng was focused on finding Xu Xi, he wasn't blind.

The shuyue boat was not small, enough for Liu Xuanfeng to see it, and he immediately recognized it as Tang Wan's ride. Liu Xuanfeng had noted down all information about Tang Wan when she first went to the Xiaoyao Sect.

The shuyue boat could be said to be Tang Wan's exclusive ride; wherever Tang Wan was, the shuyue boat was there.

At the same time, a thought arose in his heart, just as Tang Wan wondered why Liu Xuanfeng was here.

"Let's go and meet him first. He's also coming towards me. This encounter is unavoidable."

Despite his doubts, Liu Xuanfeng did not evade, because looking at the rapidly approaching shuyue boat, Liu Xuanfeng understood that today's encounter was either a blessing or a curse, and if it was a curse, there was no escaping it.

He pressed on, and in an instant, while flying, Liu Xuanfeng arrived in front of the shuyue boat.

But before Liu Xuanfeng could even get close, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face standing on the shuyue boat, appearing in his line of sight.

"Xu Xi—I want you dead!"

"Sword Rain Like Feathers!"

His move was a killing blow. Liu Xuanfeng didn't even consider Xu Xi's relationship with Tang Wan, who was standing on the shuyue boat, and immediately unleashed sword qi towards Xu Xi, showing no retreat.

In Liu Xuanfeng's eyes, if Xu Xi was with you, it meant you wouldn't be his friend.

Since they weren't friends, Liu Xuanfeng saw no need to tolerate him, even if the other party was one realm higher than him.

But don't forget, this was Youzhou, not Central State!

"If I don't target you, how can you kill me?"

His thinking was very clear. Even though he was consumed by anger, Liu Xuanfeng was not controlled by it, forming a stark contrast to Jiang Chengyun, who had lost his temper at the Xiaoyao Sect earlier.

Indeed, old ginger is spicier, and ripe black fungus tastes better!

"Presumptuous!"

"Liu Xuanfeng, are you going to attack me? Although there is an alliance pact, if you are looking for death, no one will stop me from hurting you!"

The continuous sword qi instantly arrived in front of Xu Xi, but before it could cause any damage, Tang Wan casually waved her hand and dissolved it.

With an angry expression, Tang Wan took the initiative, standing at the top and questioning Liu Xuanfeng.

As long as she confirmed that Liu Xuanfeng had even a slight intention to harm her, Tang Wan would not hesitate to act and resolve this trouble, saving Xu Xi some worry.

A spirit-recording stone appeared in her jade hand, resting at her lower back. If Liu Xuanfeng's words were slightly off, Tang Wan wouldn't reason with him; strength was the most important thing.

"Act?"

"I wouldn't dare to act against two people from the Central State. I am only targeting Xu Xi. My direct disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect was killed; I'm just seeking an explanation."

Not answering Tang Wan's words, Liu Xuanfeng showed no flaws, speaking cautiously.

At the same time, a sky full of sword qi swept out again, heading straight for Xu Xi.

Clearly, Liu Xuanfeng was carrying out his actions in his own way, and Tang Wan on the side didn't know what to do.

Because Liu Xuanfeng didn't direct any attacks at Tang Wan!

All the sword qi was aimed at one person—Xu Xi. Even with the spirit-recording stone, it was useless; the enemy wasn't taking the bait!
