My Fairy Raising Game

"How does Senior Brother plan to resolve this?" Qi Miaolian asked Shen Yu.

Although Shen Yu had exceeded her expectations in many ways, Wu Yunjie was, after all, an inner disciple and one of the two outstanding members of the Wu clan, highly regarded by some sect elders. Given Shen Yu's status, dealing with Wu Yunjie would probably not be easy.

Shen Yu didn't answer. Instead, he cut off a piece of spiritual fruit, held it to Qi Miaolian's lips, and said, "Eat this, and I'll tell you."

"I......"

Qi Miaolian instinctively wanted to refuse, feeling a little ashamed and annoyed. However, when her gaze fell upon Shen Yu's calm, deep eyes, and considering the scheming and skill he had just displayed, as well as Wu Yunjie's repeated coercion, she had no choice but to suppress her shame, open her red lips, and bite into the spiritual fruit.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Yu's fingers happened to touch her full, plump lips.

As he felt the soft, warm, and wonderful touch, Shen Yu withdrew his hand.

Qi Miaolian's ears turned slightly red. It was the first time she had been so close to a man, which caused a subtle emotion to stir within her. She subconsciously looked away, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"Now, you can speak."

"certainly."

Shen Yu smiled and shared his opinion:

"Actually, you overestimate Wu Yunjie. This is the Jade Toad Palace. Although the Wu clan is powerful, they can't control everything. Many things still have to be done according to the rules. This is the foundation of our sect's existence, and it's the balance and stability that all the elders, the sect leader, and the ancestors strive to maintain, at least on the surface. Because upholding the rules is upholding their interests!"

"Besides, Wu Yunjie doesn't represent the Wu clan at all. In the end, he's just a junior member of the Wu clan, an inner disciple with some influence. Does he think he can eat you? As long as you ignore him and stay away from him, this trouble will naturally resolve itself."

Qi Miaolian was stunned on the spot, then suddenly felt enlightened.

Although she mingled among some outer disciples and was used to using others, her main purpose was to protect herself while obtaining resources and information that were beneficial to her, and to strive to improve her cultivation and status.

Although Wu Yunjie came from a distinguished family, he was a heartless and ungrateful man, not a good match for her. Moreover, he harbored ill intentions towards her, seeing her as a vessel to ruin her cultivation. Naturally, Qi Miaolian looked down on such a person.

Previously, she had always regarded Wu Yunjie as a monstrous threat, labeling him as "unapproachable" in her mind, and unconsciously magnifying the extent of his terror many times over.

But now, after listening to Shen Yu's analysis, it seems that it really is true.

She certainly couldn't afford to offend the Wu family, but Wu Yunjie was merely an outstanding member of the Wu clan and couldn't represent the entire clan. Even if she became enemies with them, what could they do? At most, they could only make things difficult for her and create some trouble.

This situation was naturally nothing to her.

"You must remember, no one likes someone who breaks the rules, unless... their strength is enough to influence the rules, or even to make the rules. Wu Yunjie is far from qualified."

Shen Yu took a sip of tea and continued:

"We are all on this giant web called 'rules,' and we can use the rules to our advantage because they are beneficial to us. If someone tries to use the rules to harm you, you can also use the rules to retaliate against them."

"For example, with the Dragon Gate Ceremony approaching, if you perform well and possess exceptional special talent, you could become a disciple of an elder and receive their protection. Even if you don't, becoming an inner disciple would give you the strength to contend with Wu Yunjie."

"But what are you doing now?"

Shen Yu scoffed at her, making no attempt to hide his disdain: "Instead of focusing on your cultivation, you let trivial matters distract you. You scheme and plot for petty gains, wasting precious cultivation time. How utterly absurd!"

"I......"

Meeting Shen Yu's gaze, Qi Miaolian felt her noodles burning, as if she had been slapped in the face, and was so ashamed she wanted to disappear.

Because she had indeed gotten stuck in a rut. Although she hadn't neglected her cultivation, she had overlooked the fact that, as a disciple of a celestial sect, the most important thing was not petty scheming or backstabbing, but rather her cultivation strength!

Just as Shen Yu said, as long as she demonstrates enough value, she will naturally gain the attention of some elders in the inner sect, and in this way, this trouble can be easily resolved.

"Miaolian has learned a great deal; thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

After a moment of silence, Qi Miaolian rose and gracefully bowed.

The moon-white silk dress outlined her voluptuous and plump figure, which, combined with her dignified and pure face, still flushed, made her appear both innocent and alluring.

Shen Yu looked Qi Miaolian up and down with an appreciative gaze. His calm yet aggressive gaze made Qi Miaolian's legs tense and close together, making her feel slightly uneasy.

"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance; it's simply a matter of each taking what they need."

After enjoying the view, Shen Yu pointed to the door and unceremoniously told them to leave.

"Alright, Junior Sister Qi, you can leave now. I just hope you won't forget our promise."

Although the meat in front of me smells delicious, it's not cooked long enough. If I were to eat it now, it might have the opposite effect.

It's better to put it on the stove and simmer it over a low flame. When the time is right, it will naturally come to fruition.

Shen Yu has always been very patient when it comes to stewing meat.

There's a saying that goes...

Let her ripen naturally, don't rush her; when the time is right, she will naturally become beautiful.

When it comes to cooking meat, the cooking time and temperature are actually quite important.

When stewing meat, depending on the ingredients and their order, sometimes you need to stir-fry over high heat, and sometimes you need to simmer over low heat.

If the heat is too low, the texture will be poor; if the heat is too high, it will be burnt and even more unpalatable.

Only when the timing and heat are just right can the meat be stewed until it is plump, fragrant, and delicious, with a rich and flavorful broth.

Moreover, Qi Miaolian probably doesn't know that Shen Yu's act of making her eat a piece of spiritual fruit is called an obedience test in another world.

Once something happens, it will happen again.

Once a person's bottom line is tested, they are easily manipulated.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, Miaolian will not break her promise."

Qi Miaolian didn't say anything more. She gave him a deep look, left a communication jade talisman, and turned to leave.

Shen Yu today truly impressed her!

Only now did she realize that she had underestimated the heroes of the world. It turned out that even in the mere outer sect, there were formidable figures like Shen Yu who were hiding their true abilities and waiting for the right opportunity to strike!

After Qi Miaolian left, Shen Yu's face darkened, becoming more serious, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

"Xu Ji... a Celestial Realm cultivator, he's not easy to deal with..."
