Chapter 95 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 12

Half a month later.

"Why are you still here?" she asked with a disdainful tone.

When Jiang Zhiyi woke up, she found that Xu Wenye was still staying at Hehuan Peak.

For the past two weeks, Xu Wenye has been clinging to me almost every day, and I can't get rid of him no matter what I do. It's really annoying.

During the day, he would accompany her to practice swordsmanship and always personally teach her, step by step.

He insisted on practicing with her even at night...

However, her swordsmanship has improved considerably in this period of time, and her cultivation level has also increased significantly, which is indeed quite good.

But Jiang Zhiyi always felt that he had ill intentions.

"I happen to be free. The final competition of the sect's evaluation will be held in a few days, so you must not relax," Xu Wenye replied to her very seriously.

"Don't you want to cultivate yourself?" she asked.

Is Xu Wenye trying to slack off?

He absolutely cannot do that. If his cultivation level cannot be improved quickly, it will directly affect the effectiveness of her sexual enhancement, which would be terrible.

"Go and cultivate, I can do it myself," Jiang Zhiyi quickly advised him.

"Don't you always say there are many things you can't do?"

"It's alright, I can figure out a solution myself. If it really doesn't work, I'll come back to you. You mustn't neglect your cultivation, or I'll worry about you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenye's expression softened considerably.

In order to spend time with her these days, he has indeed neglected his cultivation quite a bit.

Fortunately, she was very caring towards herself.

"Alright, if you have any questions, feel free to come to Lingzhong Palace to find me."

"Okay, go ahead." Jiang Zhiyi just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Xu Wenye hugged her for a while, and then he said, "Why don't you come to Lingzhong Palace to practice your swordsmanship?"

He didn't really want to break up with her.

"I'm not going!" Jiang Zhiyi said impatiently. Why was he being so indecisive these days?

"I'm staying here, I'm not going anywhere!"

Seeing her reaction, Xu Wenye could only say, "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Jiang Zhiyi nodded quickly, signaling him to leave immediately.

"Be good." He kissed her again, reluctantly.

"Alright, you should go back now," Jiang Zhiyi urged him.

Xu Wenye then left.

Jiang Zhiyi watched his retreating figure, sighing inwardly that she had finally gotten rid of this big shot.

He's been staying here the whole time, and to be honest, she's finding it a bit too much. He's really pushing her limits, especially at night.

...

Lingzhong Palace.

Xu Wenye practiced for a while, but he couldn't calm down. He kept thinking about what had just happened.

Jiang Zhiyi used to come here to see him every few days, but now that he's taking the initiative to go there, she's actually unhappy.

Why is that?

"Xu Jiu," Xu Wenye called out to him.

"Grandmaster, what are your instructions?"

Xu Wenye confided his confusion to Xu Jiu, hoping to get some advice from him.

Xu Jiu has been married for many years. His wife is gentle and considerate, and the couple has a harmonious and loving marriage.

Therefore, Xu Wenye felt that he could definitely learn some valuable lessons from him.

Xu Jiu gripped the knife in his hand, somewhat nervous.

"Relax and speak freely." Xu Wenye naturally noticed that something was wrong with him.

“Grandmaster, you and Miss Jiang are not yet married. Let bygones be bygones, but now that you have made a private engagement, Miss Jiang will feel embarrassed.”

“You keep coming to their house every few days and refuse to leave, just like a rogue. No wonder Miss Jiang dislikes you.”

"Not to mention bringing her to Lingzhong Palace. It's not like Miss Jiang has nowhere else to go. Why does she have to squeeze in with you?"

Xu Wenye's expression instantly turned very bad.

"Grandmaster, this is what you told me to say." Xu Jiu felt cold sweat all over his back.

"I'm not blaming you, please continue."

"You should be even gentler with Miss Jiang. They all like men like that. Just like with my wife, I never get angry with her and I always listen to her."

Xu Wenye looked troubled: "Listen to her?"

Xu Jiu looked sincere and said firmly, "There are so many good men in this world. If you can't even do this much, then why would Miss Jiang like you?"

"The choices made by both people are mutual, so they both need to consider each other's feelings. But it's impossible to be completely consistent, and it's never a simple correspondence."

"For example, if she gives you a small wooden sword and you return the favor with a Spirit-Slaying Sword, do you think you're even?"

"Otherwise what?" Xu Wenye asked, puzzled.

"No, this matter depends on each person's intentions. She always thinks of you, and even brings you back gifts after going down the mountain. You, on the other hand, only gave a simple return gift. So in this matter, you owe her something."

Xu Wenye suddenly realized.

"Please continue."

“It’s gone…” Xu Jiu replied.

Xu Wenye frowned.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Jiu added, "You can prepare for your marriage with Miss Jiang as soon as possible. After the marriage, many things you want to do will be reasonable."

Xu Wenye was also enlightened by him, and realized that this was indeed the case.

"Grandmaster, I'll take my leave now." Xu Jiu quickly slipped out.

Xu Wenye was still thinking about Xu Jiu's words.

He suddenly remembered that once before, Jiang Zhiyi had told him about the interesting things she had seen down the mountain—

"I happened to come across a wedding procession on my way down the mountain today. There were many people in the procession, and I even saw the bridal sedan chair!"

"The bride's dowry consisted of dozens of boxes, but I heard that the groom's betrothal gifts were also very generous."

"When I get married in the future, I will make it as grand as possible, preferably one that everyone will envy."

She said a lot to him back then, but he doesn't remember it very clearly, only a little bit.

Jiang Zhiyi kept emphasizing that if she were to get married in the future, the groom would have to give her a lot of dowry, otherwise she would not marry him.

At that time, he was still wondering which sucker would be able to grant her this wish.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenye frowned.

Although he was the patriarch of Mount Ling, although his cultivation was profound, although he was revered by the world...

but--

He was very poor, really very poor.

He possessed many long-lost sword manuals, sect secrets collected over many years, all sorts of precious divine weapons, strange and lively spirit beasts, rare and precious medicinal herbs with excellent healing effects, and the bones of ferocious beasts he had ruthlessly slain—this represented supreme honor…

But he had no money, not a single penny.

Unsurprisingly, if he were to give these things to Jiang Zhiyi as betrothal gifts, she would definitely throw them all out, and he would be kicked out along with them.

"What use is this broken beast bone to me?! Xu Wenye, get out of here right now!"

He could already picture that scene.

What should we do?

If we have children in the future, we can't just feed them immortal herbs; it's not like we're raising spirit beasts.

For the first time ever, Xu Wenye felt that he was facing an incredibly huge problem.

It's extremely tricky and very troublesome.

Xu Wenye secretly calculated that he would have to spend more time learning the sword manual and secret techniques in the coming days.

We should sell all of these things then, preferably bundled together with suitable weapons; we're sure to get a good price that way.

Considering his own status, it would definitely be inconvenient for him to do such a thing in person.

He needed to quickly find someone trustworthy, but not someone with much connection to Lingshan, to help him with the task.

Jiang Zhiyi gave him a unique little wooden sword that was quite valuable last time, so this definitely can't be sold.

He needed to quickly take stock of his assets, hoping to accumulate enough gold and silver, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Xu Wenye sighed.

He only regretted that he had no concept of money before and had focused solely on his personal spiritual practice.

After punishing evil and vanquishing demons on many occasions, people offered him large sums of money as a reward, but he refused them all, saying that he did not need such worldly gifts.

I regret it so much!

Now look what's happened—you only realize how little money you have when you need it most.

Oh, right, there's something even more important.

Xu Wenye went directly to the Sect Leader's Hall.

His relationship with Jiang Zhiyi is indeed illegitimate now, so it's no wonder she's unwilling.

Whether he goes to Hehuan Peak or she comes to Lingzhong Palace, it is against etiquette.

He had to explain this to his senior sister as soon as possible, and then marry Jiang Zhiyi.
