Chapter 422 Meeting the "Enemies"

Yunxi admitted that she did it on purpose. Seeing the other party's angry yet trying hard to endure it, she felt as refreshed as drinking an iced drink on a hot summer day. After watching Wei Yunqing, who dared not speak her anger, return to the cabin, she snorted and went to find Zhang Lingrui and Lin Keyang.

Hao Yan and Hao Qing naturally witnessed this scene. After exchanging a glance, Hao Qing said with a smile:

"This is Ranxi's true nature. She can be impulsive at times, but because she advanced so quickly, we all assume she is a mature cultivator."

Haoyan leaned back in her chair and said:
"That's good. Be serious when you need to be serious, and be carefree when you need to be carefree. It's also beneficial to cultivation. Perhaps it's because of Ranxi's mindset that she hasn't encountered any bottlenecks in her cultivation."

The two men praised Yunxi, who was handing the engraved jade slips to Zhang and Lin, telling them to prepare in advance. If they had any trustworthy fellow cultivators, they could also borrow them to browse. After all, once they were out there, they were all one, except for Wei Yunqing, of course. Yunxi didn't need to say anything; the two men understood.

"Thank you. We'll both try our best to make it to the semifinals and fight for as many rounds as possible."

Zhang Lingrui said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

In fact, they had also privately collected some information on Nascent Soul cultivators from the other four domains, but it was not enough compared to what Yunxi had given them, so neither of them wanted to disappoint Yunxi's kindness.

Yunxi then said:

"I'm giving you this information so that you can know yourself and your enemy, not so that you can fight to the death. This is just a contest, not a life-or-death battle."

Don't forget the evil cultivators lurking in the shadows. If you fight with all your might, what will you do when they launch a surprise attack and you're powerless to resist?

Lin Keyang immediately nodded in agreement:
"Senior Sister Ranxi is right. We must save our trump cards to deal with the evil cultivators. If we are no match for them, we should admit defeat. The most important thing is not to get injured."

Yunxi immediately gave him an appreciative look, feeling that Lin Keyang completely understood what she meant.

Zhang Lingrui isn't really stupid; he just sometimes loses control when he encounters an equally matched opponent. But things are different now, and he'll constantly remind himself of that.

Afterwards, Yunxi went to the cabins of the other Nascent Soul cultivators and conveyed the wishes of the two Venerables. She also sent a group message to the identity jade slips of the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After dealing with these matters, the three spaceships traveling in parallel from the Western Regions entered the Central Region. As the organizer of this Five Regions Grand Competition, the Immortal Transformation Sect had sent people to welcome them and guide the three spaceships to the outer gate of the Immortal Transformation Sect, where they then docked at the designated peak.

The five Venerables from the Famous Sword Sect, the Vast Righteous Sect, and the Loose Cultivator Alliance went directly to the place with the most abundant spiritual energy at the summit for a small gathering. Yun Xi represented the Vast Righteous Sect, Shi Jun represented the Famous Sword Sect, and Qingya Zhenjun represented the Loose Cultivator Alliance. The three of them were negotiating with the cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect.

As luck would have it, the person who arrived was none other than Immortal Lord Xu. The moment he saw Yunxi, his expression froze on his face, and his face twitched a couple of times before he managed to put on a smile.

Yunxi smiled brightly, her dimples revealing her good mood, and said in a soft voice:

"Fellow Daoist Xianxu, how have you been?"

Xianxu stiffly returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute:

"Lord Wei, how have you been?"

“Fellow Daoist Xianxu, just call me ‘Ranxi’. This is the Daoist name bestowed upon me by my master. We are already so familiar with each other, there’s no need to be so formal.”

Yunxi smiled and said something that made the other two think she was familiar with Xianxu. Only Xianxu was cursing in his heart. He never expected that he would actually receive this female cultivator. Their relationship was not that good.

Afterwards, Xianxu gave the three of them temporary jade tokens for entering and leaving the Immortal Transformation Sect. He answered Yunxi's questions without hesitation. After completing his task, he made an excuse to pick up disciples from other sects and left.

Yunxi watched Xianxu leave with a smile, thinking that she would ask around later to see if Xianxu had participated in the competition. She wanted to beat him up openly on the stage.

Shi Jun had already sensed something was wrong. After Xian Xu left, Qingya Zhenjun, who was standing to the side, also looked at Yun Xi and asked with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, are you acquainted with this Immortal Soaring True Monarch?"

Yun Xi said meaningfully:
"Well, it's a long story. In the Baohua Secret Realm, Fellow Daoist Xianxu took good care of me."

Yunxi emphasized the word "take care of," and the two of them, not being stupid, naturally understood that this "take care of" was not the same as that "take care of," so they laughed it off and changed the subject.

On the other side, Xianxu felt his eyelids twitching violently, so he went straight to find Xianyao.

Xian Yao hadn't taken on any tasks for the Five Regions Grand Competition; she was only responsible for handling affairs at Yao Hua Peak. Therefore, Xian Xu found her in a side hall at the summit. "Junior Brother, why are you in such a panic?"

Seeing that Xianxu's expression was not good, Xianyao raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xianxu sat down on his own, then pursed his lips and said:
"Ranxi is here."

"Ranxi?"

"It's Wei Yunxi from the Haoran Sect."

Xianyao paused in her reading of the jade slips, memories from ten years ago flooding back. She put down her pen and said:
What did she say to you?

"She didn't say anything. She's the representative of the Haoran Sect and is responsible for liaising with the sect on matters related to the competition."

"Then just treat her normally. Don't worry about her eating you. This is the Immortal Transformation Sect, not the Vast Righteousness Sect."

That was all Xianyao could say to comfort her.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened between the two, she could tell from Xianxu's attitude that he was probably in the wrong.

Xianxu was indeed a little guilty, and he frowned as he said:
"How did she cultivate? She advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage in just ten years. How many rare and precious herbs did she consume? Don't you think it's the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm?"

"Junior brother, be careful with your words!"

Xianyao's face darkened; she strongly disagreed with Xianxu's guess.

Xianxu knew he had spoken out of turn and immediately shut his mouth. In fact, he knew very well that he was just jealous. The cultivator he had previously looked down on had surpassed him in just ten years, which made him feel a huge sense of disparity.

Xianyao frowned inwardly, then said:
"Xianxu, since you've accepted the mission, just complete it properly. Don't overthink it. Ranxi probably doesn't even care about what happened in the secret realm."

"Senior sister is right, then I'll go and get busy."

After Xianxu took his leave, Xianyao raised her hand and sent a message talisman, instructing someone to keep an eye on Yunxi.

The next day, the sect disciples, who had rested for a day, were restless and wanted to go out for a stroll. It wasn't easy to come to the Central Region, and they wanted to see their luck and maybe find some treasures along the way.

With some days still to go before the official competition, the Venerable Ones naturally wouldn't stop them. The participating disciples changed into their sect robes and went down the mountain together.

This time, Yunxi did not choose to travel with Zhang and Lin, but instead went with Wei Yunqing.

Wei Yunqing looked as if she had seen a ghost and said:

"Wei Yunxi, what do you want to do?"

Yunxi stroked the black storage bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile:

"Of course I'll travel with you, so you don't cause trouble and I'll have to clean up the mess."

Wei Yunqing gritted her teeth and said:

"I won't cause any trouble, so don't follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and went down the guest peak.

"Hmph, you really think you're some hot commodity? I just don't want you to get something for nothing."

After saying that, he pinched the dots in his sleeve and said:
"Dian Dian, it's up to you now."

 See you tomorrow, my darlings~ Goodnight~
