331: Shen Yunshu's contempt

"True Person Wang has quite the courage; I didn't expect you to actually come to the battlefield!"

As soon as Wang Qiao's flying boat arrived, Shen Yunshu came out to greet him personally. She had heard the news of Wang Qiao's Golden Core Breakthrough. Seeing him dare to come and struggle on the battlefield right after his Breakthrough, her eyes were filled with appreciation.

Wang Qiao was undoubtedly lucky, breaking through just as the previous Sect Master was nearing the end of his lifespan. As long as he gained Xiao Changfeng's recognition and transitioned for a few years, the position of Red Pine Sect Revered Master would be his, and the Heavenly Sword Sect would have no choice but to compromise.

For a newly-broken-through Golden Core, the resources obtained by the Red Pine Sect would definitely be enough for him to Cultivate for a hundred years. Yet, he still risked coming to the battlefield, which showed he was a man of long-term vision and ambition!

"True Lord Feiyu, you flatter me. In truth, I just couldn't bear to hand over five million Spirit Stones!" Wang Qiao laughed.

Shen Yunshu was slightly taken aback! She then followed with a smile, "You've only just reached the Golden Core, and your strength is not yet sufficient. For now, focus on observing and do not be reckless."

This time, Wang Qiao had come to seek refuge with Shen Yunshu. Coupled with his relationship with Xiao Changfeng, she naturally had to take good care of him.

"Thank you, True Person Feiyu!" Wang Qiao bowed respectfully. "Speaking of which, you are the Senior Sister of my Revered Master, True Person Xiao. I wonder if you would mind if I called you Martial Aunt?"

"Of course you may!"

Wang Qiao cupped his hands again and said happily, "Greetings, Martial Aunt Shen!"

After some pleasantries, Shen Yunshu planned to take Wang Qiao to familiarize himself with the environment.

Suddenly! Shen Yunshu's Divine Sense spotted several people appearing on the flying boat, one of whom was the Disciple she had picked up for free, Liu Xuan.

'How did this kid get here?'

Then she saw a group of women fluttering around Liu Xuan. Aside from one in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the others were all young girls in the early stages of Qi Refining.

The group surrounded Liu Xuan, chatting and laughing as if they were sightseeing, completely failing to treat this place as a battlefield. It was simply absurd!

'Wasn't it said that this kid is cautious, afraid of death, and incredibly slippery? Why did he come to the battlefield, and with so many women?'

The Liu Family was related to the industries of Feiyu City. With Liu Xuan running to the battlefield to mess around at this time, Shen Yunshu felt a bit of Life Qi in her heart.

After ordering her subordinates to settle and receive Wang Qiao, her light flickered as she arrived on Liu Xuan's flying boat.

Waving her hand to dismiss the women around Liu Xuan, she spoke with a serious expression, "What are you doing here, kid? Do you have a death wish?!"

"Disciple greets Revered Master!" Liu Xuan seemed not to see her serious expression, staring at her openly as he bowed.

Her jet-black hair fell like a waterfall, her light green dress fluttered, her brows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like stars. She was breathtakingly beautiful!!

Shen Yunshu was of the curvaceous and elegant type. When calm, she appeared gentle and refined. Now, with her willow-like brows slightly furrowed and carrying a hint of irritation, her inherent temperament was even more pronounced. Even someone as upright as Liu Xuan felt excited looking at her!

"What are you looking at? Are you dazed? I'm asking you a question!"

Shen Yunshu knew Liu Xuan was a lecher, but she hadn't expected the boy to dare set his sights on her!

If Liu Xuan didn't give her a satisfactory explanation today, she would have to teach him a good lesson so he would know the meaning of respecting one's Revered Master and the Dao!

"Revered Master, you've misunderstood!" Seeing that Shen Yunshu was truly a bit Life Qi, Liu Xuan quickly explained, "I have important business to attend to this time; I'm just visiting you in passing, Revered Master."

"Important business!" A hint of doubt appeared in Shen Yunshu's eyes. "What important business could a kid like you have?"

In Shen Yunshu's eyes, Liu Xuan's talent was indeed good, but his Heart-Nature was lacking. He was obsessed with beauty and his Family. While he might be fine in the early stages, it would definitely be difficult for him to achieve great things in the Late Stage.

"Revered Master, have you heard of True Lord Haoran?" Liu Xuan asked.

"True Lord Haoran!" Shen Yunshu's gaze narrowed. "True Lord Haoran is the Academy Head of the Beast Taming Sect's South Courtyard, the highest-ranking Nascent Soul True Lord on this Peach Blossom Sect battlefield!"

Her expression became even more serious. "True Lord Haoran's status is noble. You had better not mention his name carelessly. If someone with intentions hears it, even I won't be able to protect you!"

"Revered Master, don't worry. The important business I mentioned was coming to pay my respects to True Lord Haoran!"

Shen Yunshu was stunned, then looked at Liu Xuan as if he were a fool. What kind of figure was True Lord Haoran? What right did a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Liu Xuan have to pay his respects?

Not to mention Liu Xuan, even she didn't have the qualification to pay respects. It would only be appropriate if their Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Master, Heavenly Sword True Monarch, came!

She just watched Liu Xuan quietly, waiting for him to explain. If he couldn't explain clearly, she decided she would increase the intensity of the lesson she was about to give him.

"Revered Master should know that my Liu Family has had exchanges with the Beast Taming Sect for a long time, right?

"Previously, the Late Golden Core Great True Person Yun Xian stayed at the Red Pine Sect for a while. Later, Immortal Master Yunhe and his Nascent Soul cultivation Young Master Yun Xu specifically came to the Red Pine Sect as guests.

"With so many high-level members of the Beast Taming Sect coming to the Red Pine Sect, does Revered Master know why?"

Shen Yunshu remembered. She had previously sent people to investigate how Liu Xuan had gotten involved with the Beast Taming Sect.

The news she received at the time was that a daughter of a Beast Taming Sect Nascent Soul True Lord was living at Liu Xuan's residence, but there was no clear information on which Nascent Soul True Lord it was.

Hearing Liu Xuan say this, she immediately guessed the general situation. That Nascent Soul True Lord's daughter should be True Lord Haoran's daughter!

Children were not necessarily valued by great Cultivators; some were not even as important as Disciples. It all depended on how much they were favored.

"You mean True Lord Haoran ordered you to pay him a visit because of his daughter?" Shen Yunshu asked.

Now it was Liu Xuan's turn to be stunned. He had originally intended to show off in front of Shen Yunshu, but he hadn't expected to be seen through in just a few words.

"Revered Master is indeed perceptive; nothing can escape your Wisdom Eye..."

"What time is it, and you still have the mind to be glib?!" Shen Yunshu glared at Liu Xuan. "You even dare to provoke the daughter of a Nascent Soul True Lord. Should I say you're brave or just stupid?"

"True Lord Haoran ordering you to visit means he cares a lot about this daughter!"

She looked at Liu Xuan with a gaze of pity. "You think this is a good thing? If you fail to catch his eye when the time comes, what kind of end do you think you'll meet?"

Shen Yunshu did not think highly of Liu Xuan. It was one thing for the boy to be excessively lecherous, but he also liked to engage in such opportunistic behavior.

If she hadn't guessed wrong, Liu Xuan must have known the girl's identity long ago and was attempting to use that status to cling to the Beast Taming Sect's coattails.

Opportunism and fawning over the powerful were taboos in the way of Cultivation. Cultivating immortality is about one's own transcendence; once such thoughts arise, one has entered the Evil Path.

"Take care of yourself!"

"If you cause trouble, do not say I am your Revered Master!"

Giving Liu Xuan a look of disappointment, Shen Yunshu turned and left, leaving Liu Xuan dazed in the wind... 'If you cause trouble, do not say I am your Revered Master!'

After all that, he was looked down upon by Shen Yunshu... "Three days east of the river, three days west of the river, do not bully a poor youth!!"

"Just you wait! When I become True Lord Haoran's son-in-law and an honored guest of the Beast Taming Sect, let's see if you'll still acknowledge me as your Disciple then!"
