118: Three Rules, Fighting with Swords

Yan Province,

Inside a festively decorated room in the Yan Wang Mansion.

A woman with delicate features, a slender waist, fair skin, and jade-like arms.

Although she was dressed in a phoenix crown and embroidered robes, looking extremely festive, the expression on her face was utterly cold.

"You're here, let's get straight to the point!"

Her voice was extremely cold, like ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

Ye Duanjiang, who had just entered, smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Speak!"

He had suggested to the Yan Wang that the Princess Consort complete her marriage before becoming the Blade Wielder of the Dao Heaven Sect.

What he hadn't expected was that the Yan Wang would directly choose him to be the live-in son-in-law!

Opposite him was Long Zijin, the Yan Wang's only daughter!

Her gaze now seemed to want to tear him apart limb by limb!

Ye Duanjiang understood.

With just a few words, he had arranged her entire life.

It would be strange if she didn't hate him!

Long Zijin said coldly, "Although I don't know your true purpose, since things have come to this, let's make three agreements!"

"First, we will not interfere with each other and go our separate ways!"

"I heard that you are also coming with me to the Dao Heaven Sect to help me become the Blade Wielder!"

"Once there, you will use father's resources and the Dao Heaven Sect's support to Cultivate well!"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs, and I won't inquire about yours!"

"Second, we will be in name only and each seek our own love!"

"To be clear, you are not my type!"

"If I meet someone I like, I will absolutely not care about you!"

"Similarly, I don't care what kind of person you want to find!"

"I don't care about reputation!"

"Third, maintain distance at all times!"

"This is for my personal reasons!"

"I have severe mysophobia; any member of the opposite sex approaching within one meter of me makes me feel nauseous, including my father!"

"So, no matter the circumstances, you are not allowed to approach within one meter of me!"

"Otherwise, I will directly attack and kill you!"

Ye Duanjiang smiled bitterly and nodded.

Did he have a choice in any of this?

The other party was a Princess Consort and a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

What good was a bicycle to a Mortal like him!

Moreover, he had no such desires.

Since he woke up, he hadn't had any desire in that regard.

He always felt as if there was something seriously wrong with him.

But these were questions he could only find answers to after he officially embarked on Cultivation!

Seeing Ye Duanjiang nod, Long Zijin unceremoniously ushered him out of the room.

Outside,

In the pavilion.

Ye Duanjiang leaned against a pillar.

He was thinking about the events of the past few days.

As soon as he had Transmigrated, he was pulled in by that mysterious organization to be an undercover agent.

Fortunately, he had awakened the Strategist System, which solved the drawback of being brainwashed and also enhanced his planning abilities.

The strategy he gave to the Yan Wang came from the System's novice gift package, the Strategy Deduction Device!

"It seems I've got a script for an undercover live-in son-in-law's counterattack!"

"Perhaps my cheap wife is even a future Empress!"

Ye Duanjiang's eyebrows danced with excitement, highly anticipating the future.

Next, he would leave this place and head to the world's largest sect, the Dao Heaven Sect.

Then, he would embark on the path of Cultivation!

He would continuously survive with the help of the System while using his undercover identity to gain benefits.

Then, he would resolve his chronic illness and become an Immortal!

However, as a live-in son-in-law, he also had to push that ice-cold beauty to the position of Empress.

Thinking of the three agreements and Long Zijin's attitude made him feel very tricky.

"Hmph, little girl, what's with the Divine Qi!"

"Sooner or later, you'll regret it!"

"I'm the protagonist; just wait for your words today to be slapped back!"

"I am destined to become the strongest person in this world!"

Ye Duanjiang probably never imagined that he had actually Transmigrated long ago, and when he was called Xiao Dong before, he had already been defeated once!

The reason for the current situation was that the memories extracted from him were all the memories of this world, but his memories from before Transmigration were still there.

It was as if his memories before opening his eyes were stuck in the Blue Star era.

So he naturally thought he had just Transmigrated!

......

Dao Heaven Sect,

The disciple recruitment ceremony had reached its end.

Since Xiao Dong did not appear, those with exceptional talent were all in the spotlight.

Originally, these people were just setting the stage for the destined protagonist, Xiao Dong.

After all, the protagonist needs to slap faces,

And he definitely needs to slap the faces of those Prodigies in the eyes of ordinary people, preferably also the descendant of noble families!

It would be so satisfying for such characters to be easily defeated by the destined protagonist.

Then a grudge would be formed, and those people would frantically seek trouble with Xiao Dong.

The result would be gaining experience and receiving equipment...

But now, the destined protagonist, Xiao Dong, had been sent to Yan Province by Jiang Lin and had no chance to come here.

Therefore, they were still very glorious.

They became the most outstanding group of new disciples in a hundred years.

The disciple recruitment ceremony had ended, and all the influential Elders gathered to discuss the matter of the Blade Wielder candidates.

"This generation truly has many Prodigies!"

"Indeed, among them, Jiang Yu, Su Qiaowei, Wu Caier, and Long Zijin are all very suitable for the next Blade Wielder!"

"Their Bloodlines are all Water-elemental Emperor-grade, and they all reached above the ninetieth floor on Mount Asking Heart."

"Yes, the Blade Wielder candidate should be chosen from these four!"

Finally, after the Grand Elder finished speaking, the subsequent meeting officially entered a crucial stage.

The Blade Wielder candidate meant a massive allocation of resources.

Except for Wu Caier, the other three had powerful interest groups behind them.

Jiang Yu represented the Jiang Family's Capital faction,

Su Qiaowei represented the Guxi Prefecture Aristocratic Family faction,

Long Zijin represented the Yan Wang's forces.

"I recommend Jiang Yu; this child is steady in his actions, and his Bloodline is the rare Underworld River Black Snake, which is very compatible with wielding the Luoshui Sword!"

"I disagree; Su Qiaowei's Bloodline is the High Purity Azure Jade Dragon, which is a Medium Grade Emperor-grade Bloodline, even more suitable for wielding the Luoshui Sword!"

"No, Long Zijin is more suitable; her Cloud Rain Dragon Carp is a High Grade Emperor-grade Bloodline, and she has a Luck Divine Ability, giving her an even greater advantage with the Luoshui Sword!"

"Am I the only one who thinks Wu Caier is more suitable? She is a Loose Cultivator, making her more objective and impartial as a Blade Wielder! Moreover, this woman has extremely high Sword Dao talent, already showing signs of Sword Intent! She also has a Water-elemental Emperor-grade Bloodline, although it's Low Grade, it's a never-before-seen Unicellular Water Beast!"

Everyone went from expressing their own opinions to intense discussions, and then to outright arguing.

Lin Qingxue sat on her chair, her eyes empty, her thoughts drifting far away.

"If I had known it would be this troublesome, I wouldn't have come back. Let these old fogies argue!"

"Why hasn't that kid Jiang Lin returned yet?"

"It's been three days; I really want to go to Black Yuan City to find him!"

"I don't miss him; I just want to complete the challenge mission..."

Just then, the Grand Elder asked, "Elder Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Qingxue snapped back to reality, glanced at everyone, and said indifferently, "I like Su Qiaowei's competitive spirit, but objectively speaking, Wu Caier is more suitable to be the Blade Wielder!"

Just then, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Junior Sister, I want to recommend someone to you!"

Hearing the voice, Lin Qingxue impatiently looked over.

The person who approached had the hair of a crane and the face of a child, dressed in a green gauze robe.

He carried himself with composure and a natural demeanor, as if nothing in the world mattered to him,

Except when he looked at Lin Qingxue, his eyes filled with tenderness and a dazed look.

This person was none other than the current number one sword under heaven, Dugu Che!

"Junior Sister, I recommend a Mortal to you!"

"The person Long Zijin brought up the mountain, Ye Duanjiang!"
