I'm determined to become an immortal!

"Sixth Miss has always been a deep thinker and has never revealed a word about why she wants to deal with He Sheng and the He family."

However, based on various clues, I suspect that this matter is mostly related to the Eight Views Coins.

..."

After tidying up a bit, Kou Xiang'er lay in He Sheng's arms, her slender white fingers tracing circles on He Sheng's chest as she shared her guesses.

It turns out that Lin Wanrou was a member of the Lin family, an affiliated family of the Wanfa Sect, a sect that forms the Core Formation stage. However, because she was from a collateral branch, she did not have a high status within the clan.

However, this woman was quite shrewd and adept at handling affairs. Gradually, she caught the eye of a powerful elder in the family, who then invested in her.

Lin Wanrou did not disappoint the other party's investment. She successfully established her foundation a few years ago and was then sent to work at the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce.

Two years ago,

Lin Wanrou was sent to the Xiajiang branch, a place that had become a liability for the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, as it not only failed to expand its influence but also continued to suffer losses.

However, Lin Wanrou was ambitious. She not only wanted to turn around the situation of the Xiajiang branch, but also prepared to do something big!

That is to fully implement the Eight Scenic Spots Currency in the Silver Sand River region, completely replacing Spirit Stones as the local currency.

These Eight Scenery Coins were created by the current head of the Eight Scenery Sect and are made from materials such as white star stone and clear water sand.

One Eight Views Coin is worth one tael of spiritual sand, but the actual cost, excluding the Eight Views Divine Seal, is at most half a tael of spiritual sand.

Clearly, this is a highly profitable industry.

Once fully implemented and completely replacing spirit stones as the circulating currency, the interest generated alone would make the Eight Views Sect extremely wealthy.

This initiative, which began to be promoted thirty years ago, has now been fully implemented throughout Qizhou, under the jurisdiction of the Eight Views Gate.

Lin Wanrou wanted to accomplish this for two reasons, firstly because the background of the leader of the Eight Views Sect was somewhat noteworthy;

He was originally from the Kang family, the largest vassal family of the Eight Views Sect, but in reality, he was just a son-in-law of the Kang family. His true family background was the Lin family, to which Lin Wanrou belonged.

It was because of this connection that the powerful elder who favored Lin Wanrou mentioned this matter in private, and Lin Wanrou took it to heart.

Unfortunately, the various factions in this small place of Yinsha River are truly like rocks in a latrine—stinky and stubborn.

Lin Wanrou tried several different approaches, but none of them were willing to make the matter happen.

In order to break this situation, Lin Wanrou finally decided to choose a target to attack, which led to the assassination of Brother Piao.

"...That sword cultivator Ye Shao Chen came from the Tianxuan Sect. The Tianxuan Sect and the Bajing Sect are the three major sects within the Taixuan Zhengyi Sect."

His arrival here was unknown to anyone.

However, the sixth young lady recognized his identity and treated him with great courtesy and hospitality.

That swordsman Ye was not old. It was said that he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of fourteen, and was only in his early twenties. He looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

The Sixth Miss was most adept at manipulating ascetic cultivators who had little worldly experience. Within a few days, she had Ye Jianxiu completely infatuated with her.

After the two visited Qingdai Mountain together, the Sixth Miss inadvertently mentioned He Sheng and the He family.

He Sheng was arrogant and domineering, completely disregarding her. Ye Jianxiu had also witnessed firsthand the arrogance and domineering behavior of the He family members in the market, so she agreed to kill He Sheng.

He Sheng was stunned. He never expected that Piao Ge had been killed for this reason.

Of course, he was more concerned about Ye Shaochen!

"The disciples of the Great Immortal Sect are indeed extraordinary. The Heavenly Profound Sect's inherited techniques are likely far more profound than ordinary intermediate-level techniques. And Ye Shao Chen must possess exceptional talent to have mastered a method that ignores magical defenses."

Thinking of this, He Sheng recalled what Kou Xiang'er had said earlier and couldn't help but say:

"With Ye Jianxiu being so powerful, dealing with He Sheng would be a piece of cake."

Why did you just say that He Sheng might not be dead?

The Sixth Miss's original words were:

Sword cultivators are unparalleled in this world; they are the true masters of the Dao.

Among cultivators of the same realm, sword cultivators are unparalleled in combat power, overwhelmingly superior.

Ye Shao Chen was already at the late Foundation Establishment stage, a minor realm higher than He Sheng, and possessed two nascent life-divine abilities. Killing He Sheng would be as easy as killing a chicken!

He Sheng frowned slightly. Lin Wanrou was right; Ye Shaozhen killed Piao Ge as easily as killing a chicken.

However, his attention was drawn to the words "prototype of life-force" mentioned by Kou Xiang'er.

Could it be that Ye Shao Chen's method of ignoring magical protection is the prototype of the so-called life divine power?

If that's true, wouldn't it mean Ye Shao Chen has another powerful technique of the same level hidden away?

Thinking of this, He Sheng's heart pounded wildly. He was glad that he hadn't acted rashly that day and thought of joining forces with Old Turtle to confront Ye Shao Chen head-on.

"Xiang'er, what exactly do you mean by the rudimentary form of destiny-based supernatural powers you mentioned?"

"I don't know, I only heard Miss Liu say those words."

"According to Steward Lin, if this Sword Cultivator Ye is so powerful, He Sheng should have no chance of survival. Why did you say before that He Sheng might not be dead?"

"I made this judgment based on Miss Six's personality."

Based on my understanding of Miss Six, if He Sheng were truly dead, she wouldn't have delayed her return, much less sent Old Master Xu back first to test the He family.

He Sheng nodded, acknowledging Kou Xiang'er's statement. He also felt that Lin Wanrou might have sensed something, which was why she was being so cautious.

"Lin Wanrou's reason for attacking Piao Ge seems absurd, but it's actually for profit."

On the one hand, it helps the Eight Views Sect consolidate its legal and monetary hegemony;

On the one hand, it was to open up a new market for themselves in Xiajiangfang.

This conflict has nothing to do with personal grudges; it is entirely caused by a conflict of interests, yet it is more difficult to reconcile than personal grudges, and can be described as a zero-sum game.

Therefore, to prevent future trouble, either kill Lin Wanrou or remove her from the Yinsha River area!

He Sheng had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea.

At this moment, Kou Xiang'er's slender, white fingers traced a path down his chest, teasing him once more.

"Good man, would you like Xiang'er to serve you even better?"

Kou Xiang'er was alluring and charming, but He Sheng's period of spiritual enlightenment hadn't ended yet. He looked at the woman carefully and felt something was off.

First of all, Kou Xiang'er has just lost her virginity, which means that she had no affair with Wu Feng before;

Secondly, this woman is clearly not feeling well right now, yet she still tries to seduce him, which is obviously a deliberate attempt to please him.

Could it be...

He Sheng's doubts began to grow.

It has to be said, men in their post-coital period are invincible!

When Kou Xiang'er saw that He Sheng did not respond for a long time, she buried her face in He Sheng's arms and began to sob, her tears quickly soaking He Sheng's clothes.

What's the deal with this?

Looking surprised, He Sheng patted Kou Xiang'er on the shoulder and asked:

"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?"

Kou Xiang'er didn't look up, but buried her face in He Sheng's arms, sobbing as she said:

As the saying goes, "Even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness."

Xiang'er dared not ask for anything else, and was willing to entrust everything to good people, only hoping that good people... would spare Xiang'er's life.

He Sheng was taken aback upon hearing this. He immediately understood that Kou Xiang'er had seen through his disguise!
