"Luo Qingxuan, you are indeed quite calculating, using Yuan Shouyi to restrain me? Unfortunately, you guessed wrong! Once the matter of the relics is settled, I will return to the capital."

With a hint of a cold smile on her lips, Su Yuwei mocked disdainfully.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxuan was slightly stunned. This was indeed something she hadn't anticipated, but if not for this, what is Su Yuwei's layout in the Northern Domain for?

In this matter, Luo Qingxuan didn't think Su Yuwei would lie. Given their statuses, they disdain lying in such private conversations.

Of course, it's not to say they wouldn't lie at all, but at least this matter isn't important enough to warrant a lie, and it's utterly meaningless to do so.

Not giving Luo Qingxuan too much time to think, Su Yuwei continued, "Saintess Luo loves to raise a tiger that I can't care about; I have no opinion on this matter."

After saying these words, Su Yuwei turned and left without any hesitation, straightforward and decisive.

After a slight hesitation, Wang Junze bowed to Luo Qingxuan in a salute, then followed Su Yuwei and Lu Qing out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Watching Su Yuwei's departing figure, Luo Qingxuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, feeling a slight wavering in her heart.

If she really guessed wrong, then it would indeed be somewhat troublesome, as she had already agreed to the terms with Yuan Shouyi and couldn't rationalize going back on her word.

...

"Miss, will Luo Qingxuan really fall for it?"

Lu Qing couldn't help but ask.

Shaking her head, Su Yuwei calmly said, "Not that easily. If Luo Qingxuan were so easily swayed, she wouldn't have reached her current realm."

"As long as it makes her hesitate more in future actions, that's enough!"

As they spoke, Wang Junze had already caught up, naturally overhearing the conversation.

In fact, Su Yuwei had no intention of hiding anything from Wang Junze and continued, "Yuan Shouyi is not simple. Luo Qingxuan can be so sure of our layout in the Northern Domain, not without Yuan Shouyi's instigation."

"Commandery Princess, what layout are you talking about? Is the Judgment Department really going to stay in the Northern Domain?" Wang Junze couldn't help but interject.

"Not stay in the Northern Domain, but open a new station there, recruit personnel, and complete the balance against the Northern Domain sects and Yuan Shouyi!" Su Yuwei patiently explained, "If things go smoothly, the resources in this relic will be the ones to establish the station."

"???"

Hearing this, Wang Junze was even more puzzled. This didn't sound like giving up! Could it be that Su Yuwei was deceiving Luo Qingxuan?

"I did not deceive her; I truly will not stay in the Northern Domain." As if seeing through Wang Junze's thoughts, Su Yuwei answered lightly.

Although her tone was very calm, for some reason, Wang Junze still sensed a particularly complex emotion, as if her mood suddenly sank.

"Don't ask!"

Falling back a step, Lu Qing tugged at Wang Junze, shaking his head slightly, silently reminding him.

Although unsure why, Wang Junze didn't dare to ask more and just quietly followed behind.

Unconsciously, the three of them walked back to the inn.

Almost simultaneously, Wang Junze suddenly felt a strong aura erupt from within the inn, as if a mass of fire was violently burning, sending a heat wave.

Refining Spirit?

Almost instantly, Wang Junze reacted; this aura clearly indicated someone had broken through to the Refining God Realm!

When combined with the particular location of the inn, the identity of the person who broke through became apparent!

"Xin'er?!"

With a glint of joy in his eyes, Wang Junze immediately rushed towards the inn.

"Is it a coincidence? Or was today's visit to the City Lord's Mansion enough of a pressure for this girl to actually break through now?" Lifting her eyelids slightly, Su Yuwei smiled faintly, murmuring to herself.

Entering the inn's backyard, Wang Junze immediately saw Wang Xin in the courtyard.

Wearing a fiery red long dress, with the accompanying heat wave, she seemed like a girl walking out of the fire, full of vigor.

"Brother!"

Almost simultaneously, Wang Xin also saw Wang Junze, eyes brimming with joy, and immediately jumped into his arms.

But just having broken through, Wang Xin couldn't control her power well yet. Upon touching Wang Junze, a flame ignited, setting his clothes on fire.

"???"

"Ah! Sorry, sorry! Brother, I didn't mean it!" Hastily releasing Wang Junze, Wang Xin turned her head awkwardly, apologizing.

"Hahaha, little girl, well done!"

When stepping into the backyard, Su Yuwei and Lu Qing witnessed this scene; Lu Qing laughed out loud unkindly, even causing Su Yuwei to smile.

"Take him to change clothes, what does he look like now." A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yuwei's mouth, which she quickly restrained, deliberately scolding with a straight face.

"And you, young lady, obediently go into seclusion. Luckily it was someone else's clothes you burned. If your control were any weaker and you burned your own clothes, how would you face anyone?"

Glancing at Wang Xin, Su Yuwei scolded again.

These few days of interaction had made Wang Xin familiar with Su Yuwei's outwardly cold but inwardly warm personality; hence she wasn't afraid of her, instead playfully sticking out her tongue.
