Chapter 672: Another Side of Xin Wuji
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Unfortunately for Xin Wuji, after almost twenty days of competition, he could not shorten the distance between him and Qin Wushuang. It made him experience a so-called defeat, a profound setback.
His invisible tracking device could only maintain about seven days of precision. After seven days, the effect of this tracking would get weaker day by day.
In his current situation, the last bit of effect from the tracking talisman had disappeared without a trace. It could be said that Xin Wuji had completely lost his target.
This was the biggest setback since Xin Wuji started martial arts training, a setback he had never imagined. In these dozen days, subtle changes were also gradually happening to Xin Wuji’s mindset.
“Now, the effect of the tracking talisman has passed. To catch up to this Qin Wushuang, unless I am hit by great luck, I cannot catch up with my power alone. Unless I enter the Supreme Dao Stage and use the power of the Supreme Dao to kill Qin Wushuang, I don’t have many options. But…”
The Supreme Dao Stage was not something Xin Wuji could enter even if he wanted.
It was not because Xin Wuji lacked talent nor because he was not qualified, but because this Supreme Dao breakthrough needed a turning point and a trigger.
Although Xin Wuji was at the peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, at this present moment, clearly he had not reached the right time or place to trigger this turning point. Regardless of Xin Wuji’s confidence, he knew that it would be impossible if he were to make a dash towards advancing over these next few days. It would take one to three years and even that was an optimistic estimate.
“Fortunately, since Qin Wushuang had not yet reached the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage, certainly he could not consume the Supreme Dao Fruit. Even if he were to consume it, it would not work.”
Xin Wuji felt extremely gratified at this point. After much thought, he could not come up with a good plan. To kill this Qin Wushuang and to seize the divine fruit would be hopeless!
Although Xin Wuji was unwilling to admit this fact, he must come to terms with it.
“Perhaps, I should change my way of thinking!” Suddenly, Xin Wuji raised his brows. “That’s right, this Ten Thousand Flower Valley is the territory of the Emei Daoist Sect. From beginning to end, this matter was a trap set up by the Emei Daoist Sect. The purpose was to provide food for that divine beast! In other words, disciples of the Emei Daoist Sect must have participated inside this Ten Thousand Flower Valley!”
As Xin Wuji calculated, suddenly his eyes shone and a dishonest, yet vicious plan emerged from his heart. An eerie smile flowed out of the corner of his mouth. “Yes, I shall do it this way!”
As Xin Wuji thought this, he suddenly stood up. It would, however, still be tough to track Qin Wushuang!
However, to track a disciple from the Emei Daoist Sect, as long as Xin Wuji was willing to put in the effort, would be easy.
Indeed, just as Xin Wuji had expected, by secretly spying around he had discovered figures of the female disciples from the Emei Daoist Sect the next day.
Xin Wuji was not in a rush to call out. Instead, he followed behind one of the female disciples. Xin Wuji still possessed extreme confidence for he was not worried of being exposed while tracking the female martial artist from the Emei Daoist Sect.
After having followed her for half a day, Xin Wuji had gradually understood that the female martial artist had formed an intelligence network within this Ten Thousand Flower Valley!
The person they were looking for was Xin Wuji!
This caught Xin Wuji off guard. However, in the end, Xin Wuji was a daring and bold person with high skills. When he became aware of this point, not only was he not scared, but he became extra confident.
Through his investigation and tracking, he knew that the person managing the general situation was called Ruo Ping Fairy, their Senior Sister.
“It seems I must follow this trail to find this Senior Sister, only then will my plan work!” Since Xin Wuji had grasped some of the tracking patterns of the Emei Daoist Sect, indeed on the afternoon of the next day, he followed her trail and discovered Ruo Ping Fairy’s settlement.
Now, clearly Ruo Ping Fairy was not in a good mood. It was only twenty or so days until the Ten Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant.
If she could not find the Supreme Dao Fruit, how could she, being the Senior Sister, raise her head before the Chief? How could the Chiefs allow her to participate in the Ten-Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant?
Therefore, her mood was getting worse day by day. She wanted to push this Ten Thousand Flower Valley flat like paper and scour every corner for this thief.
In the past dozen days, each of these female martial artists sent by the Emei Daoist Sect had exerted all their efforts. Even so, they could not find a single trace in the end.
The rage Ruo Ping Fairy harbored towards Shui Ruolan also increased day by day. In the end, she always felt that Shui Ruolan was not completely unaware of who the thief was.
One would have had to make quite the racket to break the defenses surrounding that stone platform. How could she be totally unaware of this from beneath the abyss? If Shui Ruolan had activated the strongest defense, how could the Supreme Dao Fruit still have gone missing?
Therefore, the more Ruo Ping Fairy thought about this, the more she felt Shui Ruolan was scheming against her. With Shui Ruolan’s talent and the extent of how she was spoiled before the Chiefs, all clearly indicated that even if this Shui Ruolan did not need the Supreme Dao Fruit, it would be a natural thing for her to enter the Supreme Dao Stage.
However, for Ruo Ping Fairy, regarding talent, latent potential, and favoritism, she was incomparable to Shui Ruolan. Therefore, she urged to possess one of the Supreme Dao Fruits to make her advancement to the Supreme Dao Stage soon.
She thought by taking it for granted that it was because Shui Ruolan did not wish for her to enter the Supreme Dao Stage. This must be some kind of despicable method for Shui Ruolan to hinder her from reaching her next level.
“Shui Ruolan, Shui Ruolan, you rely on the spoils from the Chief and act in whatever way you want. You’ve allowed the thief to steal the Supreme Dao Fruit. I will expose you before the Chief,” Ruo Ping Fairy cursed silently and felt incredibly annoyed no matter how she thought about it.
Just when she was at the peak of her anger, suddenly a light laugh emerged from the forest opposite to her.
“Ruo Ping Fairy, what matters have caused you to be so angry?”
“Who’s there?” Ruo Ping Fairy lost color in her face for someone was right before her without her knowing. Who was this person who posed such power?
Her being at the Profound Mysterious Stage and having someone sneak up on her, their strength must have been higher than hers!
“Ruo Ping Fairy, I have heard that in the past dozen days, you were sending people to search for me. I didn’t realize this until now, so I have come to meet you face to face.”
“You…” Ruo Ping Fairy saw a sudden flash before her eyes as a figure darted before the giant tree in front of her like a gust of wind. This person was dressed in white clothing and showcased an elegant demeanor. In between his brows, his eyes showed a sense of authority but he did not seem aggressive. At first glance, one would have a comfortable feeling from him.
“It’s my pleasure to meet with the Fairy, I am Xin Wuji.” Xin Wuji cupped his hands into a gentle salute and smiled gracefully.
“You are Xin Wuji?” Unconsciously, Ruo Ping Fairy put her hand onto the handle of her sword.
“Fairy, no need to panic. I do not carry vile intentions. I believe you can also see that.” Xin Wuji took two steps back with a laugh and revealed an innocent expression.
“Xin Wuji, you are truly Xin Wuji?” Ruo Ping Fairy twister her brows and sized Xin Wuji with a stern expression. One must say that the elegant demeanor and power of this person had made Ruo Ping Fairy’s maiden heart to tremble in secret. For such a graceful young master, he was the one and only, known across the Illusion Heavenly Lake.
It seemed as if there was a natural conquering temperament within Xin Wuji’s personality. He said with a smile in between his words, “Who would be willing to pretend to be me? Who is capable of it? Fairy, I am Xin Wuji, the one and only.”
“Ok, I trust that you are Xin Wuji,” Ruo Ping Fairy said with a bitter smile. “However, since you know that we are looking for you, you must know why we are looking for you?”
Xin Wuji said with a smile, “Could it not be that you want to push me into the stomach of the divine beast? How could you do such a brutal thing?”
One should not say, upon seeing Xin Wuji’s graceful appearance, Ruo Ping Fairy could feel a good feeling from the bottom of her heart. She could not accept having to send Xin Wuji to be eaten by the divine white tiger.
She let out a jeering sound and revealed a lovable laughter along with a fluid glance. “Xin Wuji, you counted that I would not have the heart to do so, right? Alright, let me ask you, the accompanying fruit of my divine beast was stolen. Per our intelligence, only you have the power and the best chance of pulling something like that off! You better not shift the blame to someone else. If you stole it, as long as you give it back, I promise to not harm you!”
Xin Wuji laughed and said with a slightly innocent expression, “Fairy, I had rather hoped to steal it. Then I could offer it to please you. However, even if I harbored such intentions, someone else has gotten ahead of me. Don’t you say it’s repulsive?”
“Oh?” Ruo Ping Fairy rolled her eyes and said with a charming smile, “Xin Wuji, could it be you are trying to lie to me, just because I am easy to talk to?”
“If I speak a word of a lie, I am willing to die in the stomach of the divine beast,” Xin Wuji said seriously. “I have come to you because, in fact, I want to deliver the correct information to your ears, to win your smile.”
Ruo Ping Fairy was beaming with pleasure as she trembled with laughter. “Ok, I did laugh, you succeeded.”
Xin Wuji laughed as well. “I am satisfied. Since I have won your smile, my trip to the Ten Thousand Flower Valley is not in vain!”
One must say that although Xin Wuji appeared dignified usually, in times he needed to put on a show, he was mature at quick shifting grounds.
Although this Ruo Ping Fairy was the senior disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect who was wise and experienced, in terms of experience, she could not compare to Xin Wuji.
With Xin Wuji’s few flattering words, she almost lost her heart.
“Ok, Xin Wuji, you should stop being flippant and insincere. If you truly carry good intentions to bring me information, then let me ask you, who has stolen the Supreme Dao Fruit?”
Revealing a smile, Xin Wuji took a few steps forward. Ruo Ping Fairy’s girly heart was swayed when she saw him walking closer to her. She immediately asked, “What are you doing?”
Xin Wuji only smiled and did not speak a word. He walked next to Ruo Ping Fairy and picked a pink flower easily from along the way. “Fairy, I am presenting the Buddha with borrowed flowers. Please take this flower and then allow me to tell you the story.”
As Ruo Ping Fairy felt Xin Wuji’s soft words and the odor of manhood emitted by him, her breathing instantly became more urgent.
She must admit that although this man was somewhat domineering and crafty, his slight sense of evil had pleased Ruo Ping Fairy extremely.
Blushes flew away from her face as she rolled her eyes at Xin Wuji. “Since you are giving me a flower, why not just put it on for me?”
Xin Wuji laughed. “This way, deference is no substitute for obedience.”
Of course, Xin Wuji had his plan for his actions. Or else, with his preserving personality, how could he have spent so much effort to curry favor with this Ruo Ping Fairy?
