My wife is a reborn big boss

The next morning, Valley Master Duan Feihong and his entourage stood outside Medicine King Valley, waiting for Li Jianshi's arrival.

Duan Feihong said, "Since all the elders have arrived, let's wait."

The old apothecary asked casually, "Valley Master, Elder Mo doesn't seem to have arrived yet?"

Duan Feihong didn't seem to care much: "Maybe something's holding him up. Don't worry about it."

"Yes." The old apothecary bowed his head slightly, his expression very calm.

At Chen Shi (7-9 AM), a figure slowly walked towards the end of the road. She was wearing a white palace dress embroidered with ink bamboo. This person was Li Jianshi.

Upon waking in the morning, she discussed the matter with Su Mubai again, and the two immediately parted ways after leaving the city. She remained in the open, directly contacting Medicine King Valley; while Su Mubai remained in the shadows, devising a way to deal with the problem of the Jishi Sect.

As she approached, the crowd, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly went to greet her, led by Valley Master Duan Feihong.

"The presence of Fairy Li from the Xuantian Sect is truly an honor to our humble abode!" Duan Feihong said with a warm smile.

Li Jianshi smiled radiantly: "Uncle Duan, you're too kind. It's already impolite of me to come and bother you, but you've brought all the elders to wait for me at the valley gate. Isn't that making your niece feel ashamed?"

Li Jianshi intends to cultivate a relationship.

Duan Feihong realized this: "Oh dear, then I shall call you my niece."

He said with a kind expression, "I remember when I first saw my niece at the Xuantian Sect, you were only six or seven years old. In the blink of an eye, you've grown into a young lady."

"Yes, that happened to be my niece's apprenticeship ceremony." Li Jianshi covered her mouth and chuckled. "Shi'er has grown up, but Uncle Duan is still so young."

"Not at all, not at all. I am old and frail, how can I compare to Sect Leader Ye's unparalleled elegance?" Duan Feihong shook his head, then tentatively asked, "My niece has come to my Medicine King Valley. Is there something Sect Leader Ye needs from our valley? Shi'er, rest assured, we are all from reputable sects. If the Xuan Tian Sect has any needs, Medicine King Valley will provide full support!"

"This isn't a matter for our sect," Li Jianshi said with a smile. "Does Uncle Duan intend to talk to his niece outside the valley?"

"Oh dear, look at my memory!" Duan Feihong slapped his forehead. "Quickly, please come into the valley!"

The elders followed behind the two men, watching their fake smiles in silence.

[Everyone here knows the relationship between the Xuantian Sect and the Medicine King Valley, right? Do you two really need to be so exaggerated...?]

Someone sighed, "It seems that only in secluded places like Taiqing Shaolin Temple can one find people with such pure hearts who are devoted to seeking the Dao."

Once inside the valley, Duan Feihong instructed the elders to attend to their own tasks, and then led Li Jianshi to the council hall.

Upon entering the hall, Li Jianshi sat at the head of the table, his smile fading, and said calmly, "Valley Master Duan, please have a seat."

Duan Feihong nodded, sat down, and asked solemnly, "Young Sect Master, has the authority to come here with any instructions from above?"

He is still testing the waters.

"It has nothing to do with the sect. I've come here on personal business," Li Jianshi replied.

Upon hearing her words, Duan Feihong only slightly relaxed his guard.

As long as we don't give ourselves away, that's fine, but... we still can't let our guard down.

He frowned slightly and asked softly, "May I ask what brings you here, Young Sect Master?"

It couldn't possibly be for finding a man!

If there were truly disciples in the valley who could catch Li Jianshi's eye, then after his plan succeeded, he thought that out of respect for Li Jianshi's master, the Xuantian Sect would not make things difficult for Medicine King Valley.

The story of the Sean Manor had already spread throughout the martial arts world; who in the world didn't know that Li Jianshi had a thing with "Sword Rain in Xiaoxiang"?

So, if "Sword Rain in Xiaoxiang" could return to the martial world and slay an innate being with a single sword, which young talent in the martial world would dare to provoke her?

That man once defeated all twenty of the top scholars in one night, and then disappeared without a trace. Most of the younger generation grew up listening to the story of "Sword Rain and Xiao Xiang". He was the idol of countless young talents since childhood. If anyone dared to provoke Li Jianshi, even without "Sword Rain and Xiao Xiang" taking action, that idiot would probably be hacked to death by his idols.

"It's nothing important," Li Jianshi said casually. "I've heard that your 'Entwined Heart Glazed Stamen' is a unique treasure in the world. I wonder if the Valley Master would be so kind as to give it to me as a gift to celebrate my master's fortieth birthday."

"Well... if that's the case, then gifting the 'Entangling Heart Glazed Core' to the young sect leader wouldn't be unreasonable, but..." Duan Feihong stroked his beard, pondering, "Sect Leader Ye is not yet thirty-eight years old this year, and this fortieth birthday..."

Li Jianshi: "..."

Duan Feihong: "..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"My master is indeed still a few years away from forty, but the 'Entangling Heart Glazed Core' only matures once every few decades. If we miss this opportunity, Shi'er will regret it for the rest of her life. Valley Master, do you understand what I mean?" Li Jianshi said with a smile.

Duan Feihong said solemnly, "Young Sect Master's words make sense... How about this, Young Sect Master, please go back and inform the Sect Master that once the 'Entangling Heart Glazed Core' matures, I will personally deliver it to the Xuantian Sect."

"No need," Li Jianshi said indifferently. "I'll wait here for it to ripen."

Duan Feihong understood. It seemed that it wasn't the Xuantian Sect that wanted the "Entangling Glass Core," but rather Li Jianshi.

Li Jianshi saw through something, inwardly cursing the old fox, and smiled, "By the way, I heard that your valley has some friction with the Jishi Sect. If needed, I can go back to the sect and ask my master to intervene and negotiate peace with the Jishi Sect on your behalf."

Duan Feihong was startled, but remained outwardly calm, saying gently, "Sect Leader Ye is busy with many affairs, how can we trouble her with such a trivial matter? Besides, our valley and the Jishi Sect only have a minor misunderstanding, which I can handle myself."

Li Jianshi understood then that Duan Feihong didn't want the Xuantian Sect to interfere in the affairs of the Medicine King Valley and the Jishi Sect. It seemed there was something more sinister going on.

Then she smiled and said, "Then you don't know about the 'Entangling Glass Stamen'..."

A threat! A blatant threat!

"I deeply admire the young sect leader's filial piety!" Duan Feihong said solemnly, "The 'Entangling Heart Glazed Core' will be ripe in a few days. Please rest in the guest room for now, young sect leader. When it is ripe, I will retrieve it and present it to you."

He emphasized the word "guest room," saying, "Here you go, just stay in the guest room and don't cause trouble these next few days."

Li Jianshi nodded: "In that case, I thank Valley Master."

The deal was thus completed.

After ordering someone to take Li Jianshi to a guest room, Duan Feihong leaned back in his chair and sighed, muttering to himself, "I've sorted things out here. Old Mo, the rest is up to you..."

.........

Twenty miles outside Demon King Valley, Mo Deyan followed the marks to a small grove of trees, where he saw a graceful woman standing with her back to him.

Mo Deyan looked wary: "Can water carry a boat?"

The woman replied, "Rowing is also an option."

The woman continued, "The air was trembling, as if the sky were on fire."

Mo Deyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, the storm is coming."

The woman turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Mo Deyan, so you were the sect's mole in Medicine King Valley!"

The woman looked to be in her early thirties. Time had left some marks around her eyes, but Mo Deyan could still vaguely see her past self on her face; she was still so ordinary.

After all, a world full of handsome men and beautiful women doesn't exist.

Mo Deyu said in a flat tone, "Decades have passed, and you are still as ordinary as ever, Gu Xiaomeng."
