Chapter 72 072 Xie Qingyu, that idiot
It was a skill she honed by exchanging dirty laundry with Nan Yulou in the first level of heaven, and Shen Zhiwei used it very skillfully.
Spreading rumors doesn't mean you can shamelessly fabricate facts and make empty promises. The key is to understand people's hearts and minds.
The information she released hit the nail on the head, becoming a sore point for independent cultivators.
People strive for higher positions, and entering a third-tier sect is always more prestigious. However, the number of members in a third-tier sect is usually at its limit, which is determined by the sect's resources. The resources allocated by a sect's Yuanmu Tree are limited, which prevents large sects from expanding indiscriminately.
Otherwise, those powerful families wouldn't send their collateral disciples to the lower realms to try and establish new sects.
If the Bixia Sect can successfully advance to the next level, then everyone will be investing in the original shares.
Although it was only a few words, Rong Yuejun immediately understood all the intricacies of the situation, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.
Why don't the people below report these messages?
Before Rong Yuejun could rebuke her, a subordinate cautiously said, "Can the Bixia Sect be considered an outer sect of the Rong family? I suppose the patriarch has already subdued the Shen family? After all, Shen Zhiwei is clever and has done some favors for Miss Ying."
After all, Rong Yuejun had always doted on Rong Ying and cherished this girl dearly. Many people witnessed Shen Zhiwei's selfless act of putting others before him that day, in full view of everyone.
Normally, Rong Yuejun would definitely use the internet.
Shen Zhiwei spread such rumors, and everyone guessed the same thing, creating a logical loop.
Rong Yuejun sneered: "Why should the Rong family rely on guesswork to do things? Have we already disregarded the rules from top to bottom? To make such unfounded speculations and then take them seriously."
The subordinate carefully chose his words: "The report has already been submitted to the head of the family, stating that the Bixia Sect has expanded quite rapidly these days—"
Rong Yuejun had an extremely fiery temper, and those below her could only cautiously probe her—
At that time, Rong Yuejun remained noncommittal, so the Rong family disciples dared not think too much about it and could only ponder it carefully. Although Rong Yuejun disliked someone, she always went without regard for anything else, and besides, the Bixia Sect was not a major sect.
Subordinates couldn't help but speculate that there must be some unspeakable deal between Shen Zhiwei and Rong Yuejun.
Rong Yuejun certainly remembered this report, but at that time she had already decided to win over the Tianchi Sect and suppress Shen Zhiwei, so she did not reply.
After that, she was completely absorbed by the destruction of the Tianchi Sect—
Rong Yuejun took a deep breath.
In fact, Shen Zhiwei's method of spreading rumors was not particularly clever. Given enough time, it would inevitably be exposed. She was simply exploiting the time difference.
It's only been half a month.
Rong Yuejun was so focused on the Tianchi Sect that she paid no attention to anything else. And now, the Tianchi Sect had just been destroyed, and Shen Zhiwei had stepped forward right afterward.
The image of Shen Zhiwei floated into her mind—beautiful and cunning, with unfathomable shrewdness in her eyes.
Rong Yuejun was filled with irritation.
At this time, a message was sent via a communication stone.
Xie Qingyu: [Moon Lord, why must you do this?]
Xie Qingyu: [The Shen family is nothing but yesterday's smoke and mirrors; I don't care.]
Xie Qingyu: [For the sake of the greater good, we should put aside our minor disagreements.]
Xie Qingyu spoke in roundabout and incoherently, but Rong Yuejun immediately understood his implied meaning.
Xie Qingyu also felt that Shen Zhiwei was Rong Yuejun's person. He spoke in a hesitant manner and did not look very pleasant, but he did not make a scene in the end. He even generously expressed his determination to let go.
Shen Zhiwei spoke to Xie Qingyu with a hint of temper, and Xie Qingyu never expected that Shen Zhiwei would actually side with Rong Yuejun.
A strange unease welled up in Xie Qingyu's heart, but he had no time to think about it.
Young Master Mu is becoming increasingly arrogant, so the relationship between the Rong and Xie families should be even closer. However, although this has always been the case, he feels that Rong Yuejun's personality is simply too arrogant and willful.
Just by reading the message Xie Qingyu sent, Rong Yuejun could sense how unhappy Xie Qingyu was.
This was Rong Yuejun's original plan; she intended to make Xie Qingyu unhappy. If Xie Qingyu's former lover truly returned to the Rong family, it would undoubtedly cause Xie Qingyu great displeasure.
Therefore, it was only natural that Xie Qingyu also felt that Shen Zhiwei had pledged allegiance to the Rong family.
Rong Yuejun was not very happy.
Before she could reply, Rongying also sent a message.
Rong Ying: [My elder sister goes to such lengths for me; she truly loves me too much.]
Rong Ying also tacitly acknowledged that Shen Zhiwei's smooth advancement was due to Rong Yuejun's efforts, which was nothing more than a way of repaying Shen Zhiwei for risking his life to save him that day.
Rong Yuejun fell silent, suddenly realizing that things were not so simple.
The whole world thinks Shen Zhiwei is her person, no wonder Rong family's subordinates think so.
She took a deep breath and began to reflect on herself. The reason others thought that way was because she had been too reserved in her actions regarding this matter.
Rong Yuejun had always thought of herself as someone who acted swiftly and decisively, but in this matter, she was somewhat hesitant.
Everyone knows that Shen Zhiwei saved Rong Ying, so there are some things she doesn't do openly. Everyone knows that the Rong family head has clear-cut grudges and favors, and she can't let go of this persona.
Rong Yuejun closed her eyes, no longer deceiving herself. Shen Zhiwei was now an opponent she needed to target with all her might.
If we continue to hesitate and allow Shen Zhiwei to develop in a cowardly manner, she might actually become a serious threat.
Of course, if Rong Yuejun were to say that Shen Zhiwei could go even further and reach the realm of immortals, she would never believe it, not even if she were beaten to death.
When she closed her eyes like that, Xun Shi reacted again.
She hadn't replied to Xie Qingyu yet.
She didn't reply to Rong Ying either. Rong Ying assumed her older sister was busy, but Xie Qingyu treated him like a person.
Seeing that Rong Yuejun didn't respond, Xie Qingyu waited a while and then replied with a long string of words.
[Shen is a woman of deep thoughts and surely harbors resentment over what happened back then. Yuejun, if you were in her shoes, would you let this go? Her submissive and obedient nature, contrary to her inherent jealousy, suggests she harbors great ambitions; her intentions are unfathomable!]
Between you and me, there is no room for a third person.
Do you remember the promise we made years ago? Between you and me, there was no one else. Though times have changed, this promise remains unchanged. The bond between our two families will surely endure forever.
Xie Qingyu was now certain that Shen Zhiwei had sided with Rong Yuejun. After taking a moment to calm himself down, he began to carefully select his targets.
Previously, Rong Yuejun made Xie Qingyu choose between two women; now, similarly, he is forcing Rong Yuejun to choose him, even though he has to give up Shen Zhiwei.
Sect Leader Xie is indeed flexible and adaptable.
Do not let one woman ruin our friendship.
Rong Yuejun laughed in exasperation, thinking Xie Qingyu was just an idiot.
She couldn't be bothered with Xie Qingyu anymore. Although Rong Yuejun still felt that she couldn't advance to the Immortal Realm, she pondered that perhaps this Sect Leader Shen would seek to cooperate with a family that possessed Immortal Realm members, and that such a family was certainly not to be underestimated.
The Bixia Sect has advanced to a higher realm once again, this time with an even greater scale, and the addition of the extraordinary phenomenon of "the sky is as bright as brocade" and "three consecutive days of daylight".
However, after advancing twice in three months, Shen Zhiwei's excitement was not as great as the first time, and she felt somewhat taken it for granted.
Having experienced a rapid advancement in his cultivation level and repeated moments of exhilaration, Shen Zhiwei felt a sense of joy, but not the same excitement as before.
After advancing to the next realm, the structure of the Bixia Sect also changed. Previously, its main business was refining pills. Now, it doesn't recruit many new disciples who are medical cultivators, but instead adds quite a few arrogant and poor sword cultivators.
There were no more than four hundred purple-grade alchemists, but more than two thousand purple-grade sword cultivators.
This way, the comprehensive sect's original mother tree was also passed, and the realm was successfully advanced.
After the new sect advanced to a higher realm, the sect space expanded several times over, and a large area of forest was also included in the Bixia Sect. Sword cultivators could enter to hunt monsters and collect resources, making Shen Zhiwei feel that these cultivators were like hunters.
Shen Zhiwei didn't feel particularly pleased, but the disciples of the sect were overjoyed. Their confidence in Shen Zhiwei swelled rapidly, and they felt that Sect Leader Shen would surely lead the Bixia Sect to greatness.
The entire Bixia Sect was filled with fervor, and their expectations of Shen Zhiwei were quite unrealistic.
Everyone present believed that sooner or later, Shen Zhiwei would inevitably ascend to the realm of immortals.
Due to the sect's overall transformation, Shen Zhiwei also took the time to reorganize and recuperate the entire sect after advancing to the next level, and has not yet started any experience-based activities.
Shen Zhiwei was relatively calm, and as a family member, she knew her own situation well. This body had more beauty than talent.
Of course, if one can ascend to the realm of half-immortal, the original body's talent wouldn't be too bad either, after all, there are only fifty-odd half-immortals in the four realms.
But it has come to an end.
With this physique and aptitude, there is absolutely no way he can ascend to the realm of immortals.
There is only one requirement for ascending from the third level of heaven to the Yuan Yuan Heaven: the birth of an immortal within the organization.
The requirements are that simple and unpretentious.
Shen Zhiwei was not discouraged; she had plenty of energy to resort to crooked methods.
Inside the secret realm, Mu Wuxian began to comb Shen Zhiwei's hair. His complexion was serene, his face showing an indescribable seriousness, and his eyes were quite focused.
He is always very quiet, whether in his avatar or his main body, and he never talks much.
He didn't talk much, but Shen Zhiwei talked a lot, practically a chatterbox. He was also very talkative in private, never stopping once he opened his mouth.
“You must still remember Nan Yulou. Wasn’t he originally the illegitimate son of the Tianchi Sect Master? Back in the days at the foot of Mount Sumeru, Nan Yulou was very popular with female cultivators, looking like a young master in distress.”
At that time, some female cultivators felt that Shen Zhiwei had taken advantage of Nan Yulou.
The beautiful female sect leader is nothing but a puppet; the young master of a powerful family is the real mastermind. This is a script that many people enjoy discussing and agree with.
At that time, Nan Yulou relied on her father and her good looks to seduce Jiang Cui, and used Shi Miaoxue as a stepping stone.
Given the current situation, it's easy to imagine that Nan Yulou's predicament will be extremely dire.
Shen Zhiwei said softly, "Wujiu, you certainly don't know how Nan Yulou is doing now."
Her eyes sparkled with eager gossip and almost pure joy.
Mu Wuxian gave a soft "hmm," thinking that Shen Zhiwei must have already inquired about it.
Just as Mu Wuxian had guessed, Shen Zhiwei had indeed gone to inquire about it.
At first, Nan Yulou even wanted to have sex with Shi Miaoxue, judging that Shi Miaoxue was an honest person and that she was easily influenced.
If Shi Miaoxue were like Shen Zhiwei, Nan Yulou certainly wouldn't have gone to humiliate herself or make a fool of herself. But Shi Miaoxue's personality seemed rather gentle, and she had always stayed in the first level of heaven.
Mountains crumble, and women are unreliable. After Jiang Cui was killed by Rong Yuejun, the entire Liuli Sect ceased to exist.
