382: Wanwan's Little Thoughts

"You've always believed that the Cihang Sword Canon is more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Great Technique, yet now that you can't defeat me, you start slandering me in such a way?"

"As expected, this is the usual style of your Vast Sail Quiet Temple; I've already grown accustomed to it."

"Fan Qinghui, if this is all you're capable of, you won't be able to defeat me today," Zhu Yuyan snorted coldly.

Her words were laced with mockery.

Being practically scolded to her face, Fan Qinghui's expression instantly turned ashen.

However, for a moment, she didn't know what excuse to use to refute her.

Because what Zhu Yuyan said was the truth, and she had only spoken that way earlier out of desperation.

Thinking back now, it was indeed a bit reckless.

"Hmph, you people of the Demonic Sect are truly eloquent; I cannot outtalk you."

"However, don't even think about touching Mengyao or Feixuan today." Fan Qinghui looked at Zhu Yuyan with a proud expression.

Zhu Yuyan looked at Fan Qinghui with a cold face. She also knew that with Fan Qinghui here, plus Qin Mengyao, a Great Grandmaster Middle Stage Master, even if she wanted to kill someone, she would likely lose her own life. It simply wasn't worth it.

She believed Fan Qinghui understood this as well, so there was no longer any need to continue fighting.

"With me here, don't even think about harming my Disciple," Zhu Yuyan said coldly.

"Since that's the case, we won't be able to determine a winner today."

"How about this: in three months, we'll arrange a battle and let your Disciple duel Feixuan. At that time, regardless of the outcome, life or death won't matter. What do you say?" Fan Qinghui looked at Zhu Yuyan playfully.

Hearing Fan Qinghui say this, Zhu Yuyan's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Fan Qinghui must have something to rely on to make such a request.

By then, there would likely be some kind of conspiracy.

However, if she didn't agree at this moment, it would inevitably give people cause for gossip.

Moreover, her Disciple, Zhu Yuyan's Disciple, was definitely not inferior to anyone else.

Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan beside her, her eyes holding a hint of inquiry.

Wanwan instantly understood the meaning in her Master's eyes and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Master, agree to her. My Yinkui Sect has never feared those from the Vast Sail Quiet Temple." Wanwan looked at her Master with a serious expression.

"Good, well said. Fan Qinghui, I agree. In three months, let Wanwan and Shi Feixuan fight. At that time, life or death won't matter."

"I will invite people from the various Major Sects to bear witness then, so don't even think about playing any tricks." Zhu Yuyan looked at Fan Qinghui coldly.

"Very well. In that case, we shall wait and see." After Fan Qinghui finished speaking, she turned and left with Qin Mengyao and Shi Feixuan.

Fan Qinghui left with Qin Mengyao and Shi Feixuan, leaving only Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan in the forest.

Zhu Yuyan pulled Wanwan up and funneled a trace of Internal Energy into her to help stabilize her injuries.

"How is it? Are you alright?" Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. It's nothing serious, just some minor injuries. I'll recover quickly and won't delay the duel in three months." Wanwan looked at her Master with a smile.

"You girl, you still have the nerve to smile? If I hadn't arrived in time, you'd be in the ground by now." Zhu Yuyan tapped Wanwan's head in annoyance.

Wanwan winced in pain, a look of grievance appearing on her face.

However, she also knew that what her Master said was the truth. It had been truly dangerous this time; if her Master hadn't arrived in time, she really would have been killed by Qin Mengyao and Shi Feixuan.

"Master, I was wrong... Please don't be angry, okay? I promise there won't be a next time." Wanwan took her Master's hand and began to act coquettishly.

"Fine, hurry and find a place to heal. Don't forget, there's still a duel in three months."

"Although you've already had a Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster, Fan Qinghui will definitely find a way to improve Shi Feixuan's strength during these three months."

"Breaking through to Great Grandmaster is the bare minimum. If you don't work hard, you probably won't have a chance in the duel three months from now."

"So, for the next three months, I will watch over your cultivation and increase your strength as much as possible." Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a serious expression.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely work hard." Wanwan nodded.

"Alright, let's go. Come back with me." Zhu Yuyan nodded.

"Master, we're almost at the Kingdom. Since we're already here, why don't we go take a look?" Wanwan's eyes darted around as she looked at Zhu Yuyan with a flattering smile.

Zhu Yuyan's brows furrowed slightly; she felt something was off, her Disciple was definitely acting strange.

After thinking it over carefully, she immediately understood what was going on.

The Kingdom—wasn't that Duan Zhengchun's home? Combined with everything that happened along the way, how could she not understand?

Realizing what was happening, Zhu Yuyan's expression instantly turned sour.

"Did you come to the Kingdom for that lecher Duan Zhengchun?"

Wanwan didn't expect her Master to catch on so quickly, and her face turned a bit awkward.

"Master, you don't know how powerful Prince Duan is. Back in Deaf-Mute Valley, he won against Su Xinghe and even fought against an army of four hundred thousand alone."

"Moreover, he's a super invincible handsome guy and is absolutely wonderful to his women. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a peerless good man."

"Master, aren't you curious? Don't you want to go see him?" Wanwan looked at her Master with a flattering expression.

"Cut it out. Do you think I don't know you? I see you've come specifically for this Duan Zhengchun."

"I'm telling you, before you break through the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Technique, you absolutely cannot lose your virginity, do you understand?"

"Once you lose your virginity, all your efforts over the years will be in vain." Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan with a cold face.

"Oh, Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"I promise you, before I break through the eighteenth level, I definitely won't lose my virginity."

"I... I just want to go see if there's any Opportunity."

"You know, Prince Duan could give away dà huán dān at will."

"If we can rely on the great mountain that is Prince Duan, who would dare to move against our Yinkui Sect in the future?" Wanwan had a look of admiration when she mentioned Duan Zhengchun.

"Are you sure we can rely on Duan Zhengchun?" Zhu Yuyan looked at Wanwan doubtfully.

"That... I'm not sure either. It's mainly because there was a small misunderstanding when we first met."

"It's all that little slut Shi Feixuan's fault, but it'll be fine as long as the misunderstanding is cleared up." Wanwan explained the previous small conflict with Duan Zhengchun, her eyes flickering.

Zhu Yuyan's expression was somewhat unsightly. Her Disciple had outstanding talent and a smooth path of cultivation, never having faced any setbacks.

This had made her far too arrogant, to the point where she didn't respect her peers. She hadn't expected there would be a day when she would suffer a setback.

"Heh, now you know that you can't underestimate the people of the world?"

"I already warned you back then that the world is vast and full of wonders."

"In the path of martial arts, there's always a higher mountain. It's nothing within the Sect, but once you step into the Jianghu, do not underestimate anyone. Otherwise, you'll be the one to suffer."
