923 It’s All the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether’s Fault (4)

“My father was rejected.”

“It’s okay, women are all like that, they always act a bit reserved at first to make you work for it. Big Jianjian, I’ll teach you a few tricks, they’ll definitely work!” The captain, upon hearing this, immediately hugged Wu Jianwu’s neck and continued to discuss.

Just like that, when morning arrived again, Wu Jianwu reinvigorated himself and walked out again, continuing to invite Yunxia.

Time slowly passed. Very soon, 20 days passed. It was less than seven days before Nether Fairy arrived.

During these few days, although Xu Qing and the captain occasionally went to the spirit pool, they didn’t do anything. As for Wu Jianwu, there was also some progress.

He went to ask Yunxia out almost every day. Sometimes, the two of them would go on an outing together, sometimes they would recite poems together. There were even a few times when they would chat and praise the talents of the ancient sovereign together. Unknowingly, they had become close to each other.

News of Xu Qing and the captain’s actions also continued to reach Yunxia’s ears every day. Everything was normal, so the doubts in Yunxia’s heart about the two of them gradually faded.

Three days later, when there were still three days before Nether Fairy arrived, Xu Qing and the captain decided to take action. They arrived at the spirit pool as usual and soaked in it before sitting cross-legged and meditating.

However, one of the captain’s toes separated from his main body in the spirit pool and transformed into a small insect that slowly squirmed underwater.

After silently crawling one round around the entire spirit pool, it turned into mud in the center and stuck tightly to the bottom of the spirit pool.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and absorbed the nourishing power in the spirit pool, not revealing any flaws. However, just as the captain was about to finish his work, a group of dancing butterflies flew over from the sky.

When they floated past in the air, a wave of emotion washed over Xu Qing. As he opened his eyes and looked, that familiar sense of dizziness and haziness returned.

The entire world seemed to converge intensely in that moment. Whether it was the mountain stones, the spiritual pools, or all the people here, they all appeared as overlapping images. The only exception was the captain’s position, which remained clear!

In fact, waves of intense pain followed the dizziness. It was as though the entire world was spinning with him as the center.

This feeling compelled Xu Qing to instinctively close his eyes in an attempt to alleviate it. Despite his efforts, the sense of fatigue and nausea continued, and he was unaware of when his forehead had started sweating profusely.

Even soaking in this warm pool water couldn’t stop the cold that spread out from within. All the sounds in his ears seemed to have become weaker.

This time, the episode lasted longer than before, and Xu Qing only recovered after more than ten breaths.

The moment he opened his eyes again, Xu Qing’s breathing was hurried and his face was pale. He instinctively pressed down on the poolside rocks beside him. When he looked at the captain, the latter’s expression was filled with concern as he supported Xu Qing’s unsteady body.

“What’s wrong?”

“Eldest Senior Brother, are you hiding something from me?” Xu Qing looked at the captain and asked in a low voice.

The captain remained silent and didn’t answer the question. Instead, he smiled and sincerity appeared in his eyes as he spoke gently.

“Little Qing, just trust me.”

Xu Qing fell silent. After a long time, he nodded and didn’t ask further.

They quickly got up and left, returning to their house.

There were no noticeable changes throughout, which made Xu Qing instinctively feel that everything was going too smoothly, as if everything was proceeding as they had planned.

Wu Jianwu had successfully established an intimate relationship with Yunxia, so the other party didn’t notice their actions.

The arrangements in the plan were also successfully completed, and they were only waiting for Nether Fairy to arrive.

However, Xu Qing didn’t voice this doubt. In silence, he left the Yin Yang Flower Sect with the captain and Wu Jianwu the next day.

Wu Jianwu was clearly a little reluctant. However, for the sake of their great cause, he still gritted his teeth and left without looking back.

Three days after they left, Nether Fairy appeared.

In the distance, a group of people approached, with maids scattering flowers and music playing. Among them was the figure of Nether Fairy, who was moving gracefully.

However, no one noticed that the moment she arrived, a pair of aged eyes inside the twin peaks slowly opened and looked over meaningfully.

“Interesting.”
