Chong Jiu became increasingly indulgent towards Shu Jianyue. He supported almost everything she wanted to do, offering only suggestions at most.
But she would generally accept his suggestions, and the two were becoming more and more compatible.
After being intercepted several times, Yu Chuan practiced his expressions intensely in his bedchamber, trying to learn to keep a cold face like Zhong Jiu so that the women wouldn't dare to approach him easily.
But after practicing for a long time, his face became stiff and there was no improvement, so he asked Yan Xi for help.
Even Yan Xi, a very reserved and quiet girl, couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this. "Brother, Yu Chuan, you don't suit this. It looks ridiculous."
Yu Chuan rolled his eyes at her. "That's because you've always seen me smiling. Now that I'm not smiling, you feel uncomfortable."
"Look, besides being funny, doesn't it feel out of place?"
Yan Xi thought about it and agreed. She looked at it carefully and found that there was no sense of incongruity, but she just couldn't get used to it.
"It's one thing for Dad to be like this, but what if Yuchuan were to be like this too?" Yan Xixi shook her head at the thought.
"No way?" Yu Chuan looked at himself in the crystal mirror again and again.
“It’s not impossible, but you’d better not give me and Mother the cold shoulder, or we’ll kick you out,” Yan Xi said, glancing at him sideways.
Yu Chuan rolled his eyes. "With my family status, how could I dare?"
"I'm practicing how to deal with those shameless women. In the future, when I'm not familiar with someone, I'll act like a father, with a superior attitude, so that no one will dare to come near me."
Yan Xi scoffed, "Father has a strong aura, but what do you have besides a cold face like an idiot?"
Yu Chuan's temple throbbed twice. "Didn't you say it didn't look out of place? How come it looks like an idiot?"
"I can cultivate my aura too!"
"You can't just develop an aura by practicing it," Shu Jianyue said as she walked in with a smile.
“Yu’er, you are still young. When you reach a certain status or position, those things will come naturally.”
"The higher your cultivation level, the more others will be wary of you. So, you don't need to practice these things. Just focus on improving your cultivation level."
Yan Xi nodded in agreement.
Yu Chuan looked at Shu Jianyue speechlessly, "Mother, why didn't you say so before?"
Shu Jianyue glanced at him and sneered, "Did you give me a chance to speak? You finished speaking yourself."
"As long as you don't run around, nothing will happen. Focus on your cultivation, and once you're stronger, those people won't dare to come near you."
After Shu Jianyue finished speaking, she looked at Yan Xi and said, "Xi Xi, if you have time, go to Kongdingyun Sect for your mother and exchange a floating stone for her."
"If you have any requests, please let Master Qiu make them."
Yan Xi nodded, "Then I'll go tomorrow."
“I’ll go too,” Yu Chuan said, eagerly joining in.
Shu Jianyue glared at him and shook her head. It's true what they say, old habits die hard.
"Go if you want to, but before you do anything next time, think about whether you can beat them."
"If you can't win, then find a way to get away. Don't be a fool and just charge forward."
Yu Chuan nodded vigorously, "I understand, Mother."
Shu Jianyue gave Yan Xi some Spirit Gathering Pills and said, "I'll give you some Spirit Gathering Pills first. If he's willing to exchange them for Spirit Gathering Pills, then we'll use Spirit Gathering Pills."
"If you don't want it, then send me a message if you have any other requests."
"Yes, Mother." Yan Xi put away the Spirit Nourishing Pill.
Shu Jianyue gave the brother and sister some more spiritual fruits they liked to eat, and then left.
As soon as I returned to my bedchamber, I received a telepathic message from the sky.
He immediately went outside again, and Chong Jiu followed him, asking, "What's wrong?"
"The Guihai family has arrived," Shu Jianyue said, glancing at him.
Chong Jiu's brow twitched slightly. "Who from the Gui Hai family has arrived?"
Shu Jianyue wasn't in a hurry to leave, so she slowly walked out. "How would I know? I only know that the Guihai family has come. They're really something; they've only been here a few days and they've already found out we're in the Supreme God Temple."
"No, it's not difficult. With their influence across the four seas, investigating these matters is quite simple." For example, if he wanted to investigate something in the Upper God Realm, he could get results very quickly.
This is the advantage of having great power.
The two walked and talked, and when they arrived at the sect, they were met with a tense atmosphere.
Shu Jianyue glanced at the Guihai family members, then looked up at the sky and said, "Sky, why are you treating our guests like this?"
Sky sneered at the Guihai family, "Uninvited guests are not guests. Besides, they're clearly here to cause trouble, so there's no need to be polite."
Shu Jianyue looked at the person opposite her and asked, "A member of the Guihai family?"
"Who is the master?"
Gui Hai Jingchen, who was standing at the front, stepped forward and said, "I am Gui Hai Jingchen of the Gui Hai family. Greetings, Palace Master."
"I didn't see any ceremony, but I did see you guys were quite arrogant. What, are you planning to fight the Supreme God Palace to the death?" Shu Jianyue glanced at him with contempt, revealing the unique temperament of the Guihai family.
Gui Haijingchen remained calm and composed, a smile always playing on his lips. "Your Highness is too kind. We arrived in haste, and I was unable to properly discipline my subordinates. Please forgive me."
"Heh, you think something you ordered needs time to be regulated? Then your position in the Guihai family is in some danger." Shu Jianyue looked at him with a half-smile.
Gui Haijingchen's smile remained unchanged.
Shu Jianyue narrowed her eyes slightly. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, but also the most capable of hiding their true nature.
"What brings Young Master Guihai to our Supreme Temple?"
Gui Haijingchen glanced at the sky and said, "My father wrote to invite the Supreme Temple to join our Gui Hai family's power, so that we can move the Holy Spirit there."
Shu Jianyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Your Guihai family is just a small family in the Holy Spirit. It's best not to make empty promises like this when you have no real power."
Gui Haijingchen's expression changed in an instant, so quickly that Shu Jianyue almost missed it.
"Your Excellency is joking. If Guihai didn't have such a foundation, how could we have moved the Holy Spirit?"
"We can make this promise because we are capable of fulfilling it."
Shu Jianyue waved her hand and said, "Heh, whether your Guihai family can do it or not, I know better than you, the young master of the Guihai family, how well you can do it."
"So, go back to where you came from."
Gui Haijingchen stared straight at her until he received a cold gaze, at which point he looked away.
