I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

After washing up, Ning Qian changed into a clean, plain white dress.

That aloof and otherworldly air has finally returned somewhat.

She glanced at the sky outside the window; it was almost evening.

It's time to get down to business.

It's best to deal with these minor issues as soon as possible.

.......

So, in the evening, Fang Xuan was pulled by Ning Qian and went out into the street.

He was happy to stroll around with his senior sister and take a look at the local customs and culture of this other world.

However, he also knew that his senior sister wasn't really there to go shopping; she was probably preparing for a side quest to quickly complete the mortal realm.

.......

Ning Qian walked casually, but her cool eyes occasionally swept over the buildings and pedestrians on both sides of the street.

Especially those carriages and mansions bearing specific emblems.

She had mentioned before that the change of imperial power in Tianlan Kingdom was imminent, with four princes vying for the throne and two imperial advisors whose stances were unclear.

The senior sister's exact words were, "These all need to be resolved within three days."

The efficiency... is indeed very high.

Walking down the street, Fang Xuan couldn't resist the urge to go and see the Gu again.

But just as I was about to get closer, I felt my senior sister's gaze fall on my side.

Ning Qian was looking at him, her brows slightly furrowed.

My junior brother is being disobedient again.

The Gu worms of the Southern Frontier are impossible to guard against, and I don't know why my junior brother likes these things.

For safety's sake, it's best not to let him touch it.

.......

Okay... if I don't want to go, I won't go.

Fang Xuan stopped in his tracks.

System: [Detected that the host abandoned their curiosity due to the master's gaze, and their obedience has greatly increased! Training value +5!]

[Congratulations, host, you've been well-trained! An excellent sex slave should always prioritize their master's will!]

Fang Xuan: "...???"

There's definitely something wrong with this system's judgment.

He's just spoiling his senior sister. What do you mean, "it's all adjusted"?

.......

Ning Qian felt inexplicably happy to see that he was obedient and did not run around.

She pulled him along and led him to the foot of a teahouse.

She softened her voice as much as possible and said gently, "Let's go upstairs."

"Okay, senior sister."

.......

On the second floor, I found a private seat facing the street and sat down.

Ning Qian ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks, then fell silent.

I just quietly watched the endless stream of people and vehicles outside the window, waiting.

Fang Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He picked up a sesame shortbread and slowly munched on it, pondering his senior sister's fishing plan.

"Take care of the Second Prince first," Ning Qian suddenly said.

"Go to his residence?" Fang Xuan swallowed the pastry and asked casually.

According to normal procedure, shouldn't they have sneaked into the Prince's mansion at night, or found an opportunity to create an accident?

"I don't know where it is, and I'm too lazy to look for it." Ning Qian's answer was so concise that Fang Xuan almost choked.

...Hmm, too lazy to look it up, so how do I solve it?

Ning Qian picked up her teacup, took a sip, and kept her gaze fixed on the street: "He'll come on his own."

Fang Xuan blinked.

Instead of them going to the Second Prince, they made the Second Prince come to them.

They also wanted him to bring his senior sister to his house, and then successfully eliminate his entire family.

This line of thinking, why is it so villainous?

"Senior sister, won't interfering so directly in mortal affairs create too much karma?"

Ning Qian turned her head and said calmly, "It's just cause and effect, nothing to worry about."

Fang Xuan felt a slight chill run down his spine.

His understanding of his senior sister's strength seemed to have been refreshed once again.

When my senior sister was still in the Body Tempering Realm, her actual combat strength was estimated to be close to the Golden Core Realm.

Now that she has condensed her golden core overnight, her true combat power...

Surely we won't be able to get close to a Nascent Soul cultivator?

He's really gotten used to his senior sister's rapid advancement and incredible power.

Actually, we had no other options.

.......

Just as Fang Xuan was lost in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street below.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

"His Highness the Second Prince is returning to his residence. All bystanders, please make way!"

A troop of soldiers wielding long spears roughly drove away pedestrians from the street, clearing a wide road.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent carriage, escorted by a troop of cavalry, slowly approached.

The carriage curtains were drawn low, obscuring the people inside, but the procession was enormous and imposing.

The surrounding people quickly moved to the side of the road, heads bowed, eyes downcast, daring not to speak out, and could only whisper among themselves:

"It's the Second Prince..."

"I heard they've invited another Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to be their offering?"

"Alas, the old emperor is nearing his end, and these princes are fighting each other more and more fiercely; the world is likely to descend into chaos..."

Shh! Watch your mouth! Are you out of your mind?!

Fang Xuan could hear it clearly from upstairs.

As the group of people approached the teahouse, a middle-aged cultivator in a blue Taoist robe beside the carriage seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.

Their gazes fell upon Fang Xuan and Ning Qian, who were sitting by the window on the second floor.

His gaze lingered briefly on Fang Xuan, sensing the other's unfathomable cultivation level. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he then clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice booming as he spoke:

"May I ask, fellow Daoist upstairs, from which immortal mountain did you study? And why do you linger in this mortal realm?"

This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even the curtain of the luxurious carriage was slightly lifted by a hand.

The surrounding people were in uproar.

Another cultivator! It seems the Second Prince is indeed blessed with good fortune, as one immortal master after another has come to seek his patronage!

The second prince reacted very quickly, immediately signaling the caravan to stop, and then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage himself.

He bowed towards the second floor of the teahouse, saying, "I was unaware of your arrival, Immortal Master. I have failed to greet you properly and hope for your forgiveness! Please come downstairs for a chat, and allow me to extend my hospitality!"

His attitude was respectful and sincere, showing courtesy and deference to those of lower rank.

Fang Xuan, still chewing on half a pastry, quietly watched the scene downstairs.

The script was just different from what he had imagined.

He thought it would be the classic scene where the protagonist is casually strolling around when he gets provoked by a spoiled prince, and then he shows off and gets slapped in the face.

Now it has become "The prince has a discerning eye for talent and treats scholars with respect".

He turned to look at Ning Qian.

Ning Qian remained seated quietly, sipping her tea.

He swallowed the last bite of his snack, then leaned back in his chair, leaving the stage to his senior.
