Chapter 162 Outwitting the Air

Li Wei stayed in the reception room for a while before leaving.

There are still plans for today.

That is to help the demon-possessed disciples of the Yang branch of the Kongsang sect to exorcise demons.

He waited for a while on the first floor of Liuyun Pavilion, and then Shang Xueyan, with silver hair, wearing a veil and dressed conservatively, walked down gracefully.

However, because her front armor was too thick, she inevitably trembled when going downstairs, and this conservative outfit had a unique allure.

Shang Xueyan noticed the slightly intense gaze from Li Wei, and a feeling of shyness rose in her heart.

She had completely forgotten that Li Wei was now living in the building, and had even forgotten to use the power of heaven and earth to stabilize that easily fluctuating area.

This body is fine in every other way, but this humiliation is a bit too blatant.

Thinking that she still had business to attend to at the Yang Department that day and would encounter other men, she turned back.

After a while, when Li Wei saw her come down again, she was wearing a large snow fox fur coat, which completely covered her beautiful figure.

This is consistent with what Bai Zaizai did.

It seems that having a great figure also has its troubles.

However, Shang Xueyan did not possess the allure of Bai Zaizai; instead, she exuded a strong maternal instinct.

"Master, is there anything we should be careful about when we go to the Yang Division dungeon today?"

Li Wei asked respectfully.

Even if Shang Xueyan is hypocritical, she is still his master.

Basic respect should still be shown.

"Do what you did yesterday, and do it again today. Xue Chang won't be going to the five elders from the Yang Division who are following the Elders' Council today either."

Shang Xueyan's gentle voice made Li Wei feel as if he were basking in a spring breeze.

It has to be said that this woman is truly charming. Li Wei inwardly despised her behavior, yet he couldn't help but keep glancing at her.

Shang Xueyan could certainly sense his gaze, but she didn't say anything. She simply led him out of Liuyun Pavilion and then flew along the Kongsang Mountain to the other side.

"Follow me, and don't stray too far, or you'll trigger the mountain-protecting formation."

Shang Xueyan manipulated the primordial energy of heaven and earth to envelop Li Wei, and then flew slowly.

Li Wei knew that she was manipulating the power of heaven and earth to match the formation. She couldn't fly too fast, lest the formation fail to recognize her and mistake her for an intruder.

Only elders and above are qualified to know the Yuan Power identification characteristics of this formation and can directly fly over Kongsang Mountain.

"Master, I have something to tell you, please don't be angry."

Li Weifei went to Shang Xueyan's side and said.

"explain."

"I've changed my mind. I want to become Daoist partners with Senior Sister. Elder Yaoyue has already agreed."

"Heh, didn't you say before that you and Xue Shang weren't in that kind of relationship?"

Shang Xueyan wasn't angry, but her tone was slightly sarcastic.

"Master, I only learned these past two days that the internal power dynamics within the Kongsang Sect are incredibly complex. If we don't abide by the sect rules, we might be impeached. Fortunately, Senior Sister Yan is the next Holy Maiden. If we become Daoist partners with her, it will shut those people up."

"I said before that you and Xueshang are a good match, and I wanted to marry her to you. Now that you have been able to persuade Aunt Yaoyue, I will naturally not object to this. However, the position of Holy Maiden may not necessarily belong to Xueshang."

Shang Xueyan hesitated before speaking.

She was more than happy to marry Li Wei with her original appearance.

But this would likely rob Gu Meng and Yan Ruyu of their positions as saintesses.

Once Yan Xueshang is truly established as the Holy Maiden, even if she is merely a disguised identity of Shang Xueyan, as long as the ceremony is held, the sect's fortune will no longer favor other Holy Maiden candidates.

This is so unfair to Gu Meng and Yan Ruyu.

"Hehe, how can the other Saintess candidates compare to Senior Sister Yan? Besides, I have already taken Yan Ruyu into my service."

Li Wei told Shang Xueyan about his intention to develop the Holy Son Party.

He felt that this matter would only benefit Shang Xueyan, and that an egoist like her would certainly not object.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xueyan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was furious.

That brat, he's only been on this mountain for two days and he's already started flirting with women.

However, she is ultimately open-minded; otherwise, she wouldn't have used the identity of Yaoyue to make all sorts of outrageous moves.

Considering that Li Wei had not hidden anything from her, she decided to punish him appropriately only at night under the guise of Yaoyue.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she did not object.

Although he had already made his judgment, he was still somewhat uneasy about this matter involving a power struggle.

"Master, I will persuade Gu Meng and Yan Ruyu to voluntarily give up their positions as Holy Maidens. Following me, they will gain no less than if they were Holy Maidens!"

Li Wei wasn't exaggerating; he knew he had great fortune.

Gu and Yan originally had only a 50% chance of becoming saintesses.

Working under him now guarantees you'll receive a boost of good fortune.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xueyan assumed he was saying he would give the two women enough room to grow, and didn't think much of it.

"You can't force them to give up the competition for the Holy Maiden. If they are truly more outstanding than Xue Chang, I will not favor Xue Chang."

After a moment of contemplation, Shang Xueyan spoke.

She did feel that the two women were still lacking something, and if they couldn't undergo some transformation, she didn't want to pass on the position of Holy Maiden in this way.

She would rather wait for the next generation of prospective saintesses.

Of course, if these two people meet her standards, she won't resort to any underhanded tactics or sacrifice others for her own love.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei nodded slightly.

"They either become saintesses and become my Daoist partners, or they fail and obediently become my subordinates. In any case, they are my people, and of course I will not harm them. But I will definitely marry my senior sister, regardless of whether she becomes a saintesses or not."

Li Wei said, forcing himself to speak.

He had realized that his status as a disciple of the Holy Son was of great value to Shang Xueyan in maintaining her position, so he became increasingly bold.

In his mind, Shang Xueyan was a selfish and hypocritical woman. Her previous offer to marry her apprentice Yan Xueshang to him was also to deepen her relationship with him.

The Kongsang Sect is essentially a demonic suppression organization. They can live without Shang Xueyan, the Holy Maiden, but they absolutely cannot live without him, the Holy Son who appears only once every five hundred years.

After all, the suppression of demons relies on the Holy Son.

The system for cultivating saintesses is very mature. With Shang Xueyan's downfall, they can easily push a new saintesses into the position.

The Holy Son's absence for five hundred years has brought the Demon Tomb to the brink of breaking its seal, and they can no longer wait.

When Shang Xueyan heard him say that he would definitely marry Yan Xueshang, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Sure enough, her true form had completely captivated that brat.

Thinking back to the sweet words of her nemesis last night, she could say that she had received double the affection from him.

She had no idea about the scheming and power struggles in Li Wei's mind, so she replied, "I have no objection. You just need to get Xue Chang to agree when the time comes."

Seeing that she indeed supported him being with Yan Xueshang, Li Wei felt that his plans were correct.

This woman truly has no bottom line when it comes to anything that benefits her, and she doesn't even object to absurd things like her own disciple and her master sharing a husband.
