Chapter 88 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 5

night.

Jiang Zhiyi took the small wooden sword and went directly to Lingzhong Palace.

Xu Wenye seemed to have just finished bathing; his clothes were loosely tied, and small water droplets were still dripping from his hair. He exuded a lazy aura.

When he saw Jiang Zhiyi, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then tightened his clothes so as not to reveal a single glimpse of her.

Jiang Zhiyi silently complained to herself, "Stop pretending."

"I went to the market in the town at the foot of the mountain today and bought you a gift."

"What is it?" Xu Wenye raised an eyebrow.

It's rare to see her being so attentive and ingratiating, but something's definitely up to her; she must have some ulterior motive.

Jiang Zhiyi took out a small wooden sword, about the size of her palm, and handed it to him.

"Isn't it unique? I really like this sword. The moment I saw it, I wanted to buy it for you."

"The shopkeeper said it was a rare item and he was initially unwilling to sell it to me. Later, I offered a lot more money, and he finally agreed."

Jiang Zhiyi began to lie without batting an eye.

Xu Wenye picked up the small wooden sword and examined it with great disbelief. He said, "Buying a normal-sized wooden sword wouldn't cost much."

"Everyone has a normal wooden sword, so what's so special about it? The reason he's selling this is because it's unique; things are valued for their rarity."

Xu Wenye weighed the small wooden sword in his hand, then didn't argue further. He looked up at her calmly and said, "Thank you."

He neither said he liked it nor disliked it; he simply put the small wooden sword into the brocade box beside him.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Xu Wenye naturally knew that she had come here today because she needed his help.

Jiang Zhiyi sat down beside him, leaning close to him, her head resting on his shoulder.

"I'm still missing a suitable weapon. The sect competition is coming up soon. If I had a better weapon, I'm sure I could get a good ranking."

"This way, all our hard work these past few days of cultivation won't have been in vain."

Xu Wenye remained unmoved and said, "With your current cultivation level, getting a ranking shouldn't be a problem."

"This isn't enough, I want it to be even better," Jiang Zhiyi said, dissatisfied.

"I'll have Xu Jiu go find you a sword."

"No, I don't trust him at all. Last time you asked him to deal with those two people, and in the end, it was still discovered."

"I want the Spirit-Slaying Sword," Jiang Zhiyi said bluntly.

Xu Wenye frowned and said in a deep voice, "You can't control it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi knew that she still had a chance.

After all, he didn't say no directly, but was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Although I can't control it, you're here for me. You can help me subdue it."

The Spirit-Slaying Sword is a rare spiritual sword in the world; its blade gleams with a cold light, capable of piercing through the void.

"Ah Ye, you're the best, give it to me." Jiang Zhiyi started acting like a scoundrel.

She cupped his face and began to kiss him.

She bought new lip rouge at the foot of the mountain today, and she even tried it out when she came over.

His face was soon covered with light red kisses from her.

"Isn't it nice? I gave you a gift today too, it's just reciprocity."

She was still kissing him.

"..."

Jiang Zhiyi pressed herself even closer to him and said, "I had a dream that day."

"What dream?"

"It was a rather dangerous nightmare; I was terrified in the dream."

Jiang Zhiyi frowned, seemingly still genuinely afraid.

Xu Wenye's interest was piqued, and he gestured for her to continue.

"In my dream, there was an incredibly ferocious beast that kept chasing me. I couldn't defeat it, nor could I outrun it. Soon I was exhausted and caught up with it."

"It opened its blood-red mouth, ready to devour me. I saw sharp barbs on its tongue. Then it moved even closer, about to bite my neck off in one gulp..."

Xu Wenye was pondering something. In the cultivation world, there are also many people who specialize in the art of dream manipulation.

These practitioners kill through dreams. Those who fall victim to them may suffer from mental confusion or demonic possession, or even die directly in the dream.

Could it be that she has offended someone again, and they are deliberately using such magic to harm her?

"later……"

Jiang Zhiyi looked into his eyes, and Xu Wenye looked back at her.

"When I woke up, I found it was you kissing me."

Xu Wenye's memory instantly returned to that night—

He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and saw her nestled in his arms, looking incredibly alluring.

He couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss her.

At that time, Jiang Zhiyi was also woken up by him.

She pushed him away with an annoyed look on her face. "Don't bother me! Aren't you going to sleep or not?!"

Jiang Zhiyi was always grumpy when she woke up, so he stopped bothering her after that.

...

On the other side.

Xu Yuanqing was handling affairs inside the hall.

She suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Xu Wenye in a long time.

She had originally wanted Xu Wenye to help with the sect competition.

Xu Wenye declined, saying that his cultivation had been going poorly recently and he needed to focus on it, so he had no time to deal with the matter.

Xu Yuanqing treated her junior brother very well, prioritizing his cultivation above all else.

So she didn't insist and had to leave the matter to the Second Elder, Qi Suzhong.

She had been busy with sect affairs these past few days and hadn't been able to visit him.

I wonder if he has resolved the difficulties he has encountered in his cultivation these past few days?

Moreover, she happened to have some things she wanted to ask Xu Wenye for his opinion on.

Xu Yuanqing immediately decided to go and visit Xu Wenye.

Outside the Lingzhong Palace.

Xu Yuanqing felt that Lingzhong Palace seemed rather deserted tonight, as he didn't see many disciples on duty.

She went straight to Xu Wenye's bedroom.

The light was still on inside, which meant that the person hadn't gone to sleep yet.

There's a difference between men and women, so she definitely wouldn't barge in without permission.

So she stood outside the door and knocked.

"Junior brother."

Both people inside the hall heard the commotion and looked towards the entrance.

"Junior brother, are you asleep? I have something I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if you're free right now?" Xu Yuanqing asked.

Jiang Zhiyi smiled wryly. His face was covered in lipstick marks from her kisses, so he definitely couldn't show his face to anyone.

She leaned close to his ear, pinched his earlobe, and breathed softly.

Tell her you are busy right now and don't have time.

She clung tightly to his neck with both hands and said in a sweet voice, "Xu Wenye, kiss me."
