Chapter 173
The Supreme Elder was unaware of the undercurrents between the two children, and only regretted that if Xiao Xin's destined partner were Xiao Han, that would be wonderful.
In terms of ability, temperament, and character, Xiao Han is far superior to Duan Tianyi.
However, looking at the two of them now, they seem more like siblings, right?
Well, we can't force this.
Baili Han: "???"
Future great-grandfather, wait a minute!
Who looks like siblings?
What can't be forced? Of course you can! Why can't you?
Do you know how much he was hoping his junior mistress would come and force him to do this? She practically offered herself up!
Xiao Jin covered her face, thinking that the male supporting character looked so worthless!
"By the way, Xiaohan, what are your thoughts on the Immortal Sect Competition ten years from now?"
Baili Han said, "This disciple intends to participate."
The Supreme Elder nodded, “The Immortal Sect Competition is open to anyone below the Nascent Soul stage. Although you are still young, you are already at the Golden Core stage. You don’t need to worry about your ranking. Just treat it as a training opportunity and make friends with the talented disciples of other immortal sects.”
Baili Han: "Disciple understands."
Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly. The Immortal Sect Competition!
In his previous life, with the Buddha relic she sent, the evil power within Duan Tianyi's body was quickly resolved. With the power of the Buddha relic, his cultivation level directly surged to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Ten years later, he participated in the Immortal Sect Competition with the strength of the peak Nascent Soul stage, shining brightly and winning the championship. In the final decisive game, he even attracted the Divine Transformation Tribulation, breaking through the Divine Transformation stage on the arena and becoming the most dazzling prodigy in the cultivation world.
At that time, Duan Tianyi was incredibly successful. Everyone said he was a genius, even more talented than the former Supreme Elder, and that he might ascend to immortality in a thousand years.
Duan Tianyi actually took those words, which were obviously flattery, to heart.
For this reason, he disliked the Supreme Elder and looked down on Wen Xin.
Wen Xin just wanted to laugh it off!
The saying "When a person is shameless, he is invincible" is indeed true.
This time, without the Buddha's relics, relying solely on himself, she wanted to see if Duan Tianyi still had the ability to dominate the Immortal Sect Competition ten years later and become a Nascent Soul True Lord!
"Little Master's wife, what are you thinking about?"
Baili Han asked in a gentle voice.
Wen Xin blinked slightly, "I want to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition."
The atmosphere suddenly froze, and both the Supreme Elder and Baili Han felt a pang in their hearts.
They all thought she was saddened and that her weak body prevented her from attending the Immortal Sect's centennial celebration.
If she hadn't suffered such severe injuries in the womb and hadn't slept for a hundred years after birth, with her talent, she would now be the most dazzling prodigy in the cultivation world, her achievements far surpassing Duan Tianyi's, and this grand event would surely have amazed the world.
However, now...
The Supreme Elder and Baili Han were heartbroken.
Wen Xin: "???"
She's really not sad!
The Lord of Wen has always been gentle and has never liked fighting or killing.
Isn't it good to have a junior apprentice to help her fight on the front lines?
The frail young girl innocently spread her hands.
Looking into her clear, bright eyes and gentle smile, the young apprentice assumed she was swallowing her bitterness and pain alone, using a smile to comfort them, and his heart ached terribly.
His mistress was so wonderful; she deserved to enjoy the best of everything in the world.
Baili Han gently held her hand and solemnly promised, "Little Master's wife, I will win the championship of the Immortal Sect Competition for you."
The Supreme Elder said with a mixture of kindness and sorrow, "When the Immortal Sect Grand Competition begins, Little Ah Xin will accompany Little Han to watch this Immortal Sect Grand Competition."
The Supreme Elder was almost in tears, holding his great-granddaughter: "My child, you've suffered so much!"
Wen Xin: "..."
What are they imagining?
Wen Xin was both amused and exasperated, but she was extremely happy to be able to leave Peach Blossom Peak and go for a walk outside.
I thought she would have to do a lot of persuasion with the Supreme Elder if she wanted to go to the Immortal Sect Competition, but unexpectedly, she got the pass so easily.
Wen Xin gave the Supreme Elder a sweet and delighted smile.
Seeing this made the elders even more heartbroken.
Wen Xin said to Baili Han, "Rankings are not important, little apprentice, there's no need to feel pressured."
Then, all we need to do is beat the male lead up!
Baili Han's gaze was firm as he reiterated, "I will win the championship for my junior mistress."
The Supreme Elder hesitated, wanting to say that there was still a Nascent Soul stage to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition. Even if a sword cultivator could challenge someone of a higher level, it would be quite difficult for a Golden Core stage sword cultivator to defeat a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
But the resoluteness and confidence in the boy's expression made the Supreme Elder reluctant to discourage him.
Young people should be full of vigor and forge ahead!
It's okay if he suffers some setbacks later; it's good to temper his character. The Supreme Elder still has great confidence in Baili Han and believes that he will not be defeated by one or two failures.
Baili Han: "..."
Future great-grandfather, can you have more confidence in your great-grandson-in-law?
Never mind, they're our elders, let's not take it to heart!
Wen Xin held the boy's hand, her almond-shaped eyes bright, and said softly, "I believe in my little apprentice."
Baili Han's eyes lit up with a joyful smile, and he wished he could pick up his adorable little master's wife and give her a kiss.
However, the next moment, his smile froze slightly...
"Little disciple, in preparation for the Immortal Sect Competition ten years from now, you need to focus on your cultivation recently. Um, you can put alchemy and such on hold for now."
Wen Xin was practically saying: Little apprentice, stop neglecting your duties!
Baili Han: "...Understood, Little Master's Wife."
Wen Xin's face blossomed into a pure and flawless smile, captivating the young man completely.
Yes, his junior mistress is pushing him to cultivate, and it's all for his own good!
He won't let her down.
...
For the next ten years, both the Qingxiao Sect and the cultivation world were relatively peaceful.
Wen Xin has been recuperating at Peach Blossom Peak.
Baili Han spent most of his time with her, occasionally taking on sect missions to go out for training and to find spiritual herbs for Wen Xin.
However, he never stayed away for more than three months.
Every time I come back, I bring her gifts from outside, including things from the mortal world.
The value of the gift is not important; what matters is the sentiment behind it.
Wen Xin really liked the stickers, sugar paintings, and storybooks that he brought back.
He would also share interesting things that happened outside with her, and whenever he saw a beautiful scene, he would use a photo stone to record it and bring it back to show her.
Even if she lives deep in Peach Blossom Peak, she can still appreciate the different scenery of the Hunyuan Continent.
Seeing the bright, happy look in her eyes as she gazed at the memory stone, Baili Han would gently touch her cheek and promise her that once she recovered, he would take her to travel all over the Hunyuan Continent.
Wen Xin nodded with her eyebrows curving upwards, her pretty face full of anticipation.
Thanks to the elixirs refined by Baili Han, and the fact that he used some rare and precious materials to modify her palace, making the spiritual energy purer and better nourishing her body, she has rarely fallen ill in the past ten years.
Under his care, her meridians and sea of consciousness became stronger. They were no longer like before, like a funnel, where no matter how much spiritual energy she absorbed, it would all leak out. She had to use various spiritual medicines every day to keep her alive. She even stabilized her peak Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. It was just that the time for her to form her core was still far away.
