“Wind Matters That's how it is. We think Liu's idea is good, but we don't know the rules regarding these things. What do you think?” Liu Qing and Mu Ding introduced Xiao Yefeng to the plan just proposed by Lu Zhan and his three companions.
After carefully sorting through the four's plan, Xiao Yefeng nodded and said, “Master Lu's plan is certainly fine, but there is one thing I want to ask Master Lu!”
“Go ahead!” Lu Zhan replied with a smile.
“Master Lu, you plan to use the full moon night after the fifteenth day as the timing, drawing on tidal forces and using Stellar Power to break through Yiyi's absolute veins. All of this is fine, but I want to ask how an ordinary girl like Yiyi can withstand the forces at play here!” Xiao Yefeng glared at Lu Zhan.
According to Lu Zhan's plan, after the fifteenth day, the moon would be closest to Earth, causing the Qi on Earth to naturally draw closer to the surface due to gravitational pull. The tides would expand tenfold because of this, and the rapidly changing Qi would attract surrounding Stellar Power, flooding Liu Yiyi's delicate body with these forces.
Even outside of the full moon night, both tidal forces and Stellar Power, when acting on a human body during ordinary times, could be devastating. An ordinary person could not withstand it! Even cultivators would find it difficult to handle such forces; for these four to attempt this was tantamount to playing with lives!
Yet Lu Zhan smiled and said, “Xiao Brother, you truly are talented in formations and Feng Shui. You easily found the flaw in this formation. However, there’s no need to worry. Do you know what the Nine Yin Absolute Veins were called in ancient times?”
“Deadly Body!” Xiao Yefeng replied.
“Correct! But did you forget that it has another name?” Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Yefeng with an air of arrogance.
“Are you referring to Fate Spirit? But the cultivation method associated with absolute veins has long since disappeared since the era of the first generation of deities!” After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yefeng responded.
“Exactly! But I accidentally discovered an ancient fragment while in the Western Holy See a month ago! Coincidentally, I have already translated all of its contents! As long as Yiyi cultivates according to this fragment, she will definitely be able to unlock part of her Yin Body's power within ten days. With the protection of her Yin Body, I believe that Yiyi will be just fine!” At this moment, Lu Zhan was extremely excited; all his previously maintained calmness and smiles had vanished.
And Xiao Yefeng was also shocked by Lu Zhan's words. Could this really be true? If it were true, that would be fantastic! With a cultivation method for absolute veins, this seemingly doomed Yin Body could transform into a truly extraordinary physique. Liu Yiyi would soar in power like a rocket, easily breaking through the limitations of her absolute vein body!
“I wonder if I could take a look at this cultivation method for absolute veins!” Xiao Yefeng dared not question the validity of Lu Zhan's words; he could only hope that Lu Zhan would allow him a glimpse of the cultivation method.
“You're being too arrogant! You should know that only those who are engaged to my bro, Sister Liu, are qualified to see this ancient cultivation method. How dare you even think about it?” scoffed Qin Zhenhao, sporting a Mediterranean hairstyle.
The other two clearly looked at Xiao Yefeng with disdain, but this time, Lu Zhan was surprisingly generous. He said, "Ah! Brother Xiao is the hope for our future in Huaxia, and this is nothing! Here!"
With that, he pulled out a folded paper card from his pocket. A handwritten cultivation method came into view. After glancing at Xiao Yefeng, he handed the card to Lu Zhan. Xiao Yefeng remarked, "Master Lu, you truly are a talent from the Metaphysics Society. Such a profound and complex cultivation method can be remembered so clearly; I admire you. I have no questions at all, I just hope Master Lu can invite me to observe!"
Lu Zhan smiled and replied, "No problem, I will definitely invite Bro to watch on the night of the full moon."
Afterward, Xiao Yefeng was personally escorted out by Liu Yiyi from the Liu Family. Along the way, Liu Yiyi looked at Xiao Yefeng several times as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Noticing her demeanor, Xiao Yefeng directly asked, "Yiyi, do you want to talk to me?"
"Brother Xiao, I..." Liu Yiyi wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng sensed something was off with her and whispered, "Tonight I'll wait for you at Wutong Teahouse. There are some things I need to remind you about before I leave for a while."
After sending off Xiao Yefeng and then Lu Zhan and the others, the Liu Family fell silent once more. Mu Ding and Liu Qing sat with Liu Yiyi at the table; in the large living room, only this family of three remained. At this moment, Liu Qing bluntly asked, "Yiyi! Which of these two men do you actually like?"
Liu Yiyi wanted to refute but was directly pressed down by Liu Qing's insistence: "Don't deny it. Trust your mother's judgment; you have feelings for both of these men. Perhaps you don't think you have romantic feelings for Xiao Yefeng, but as someone who has been through it all, I understand you. From your recent intentional distancing from Lu Zhan, I can tell you're troubled. Can you talk to your father and me?"
"Mom! I... I feel that Brother Lu has issues! During the Western incident, before I fell unconscious, it seemed like I saw..."
The conversation among the Liu Family went unheard by anyone else. Meanwhile, Lu Zhan was sitting with three others discussing something. Qin Zhenhao, sporting a Mediterranean hairstyle, spoke up: "Lu Bro, if I were you, why bother with all this trouble? With your status, what kind of woman can't you have? If you want one, just take her; why waste time dilly-dallying with them?"
"Exactly! That guy clearly caught on to our plan's flaws. With him around, this won't be easy! We should have acted decisively earlier; Bro, just absorb that girl's essence!" Diao Li said while fiddling with a trinket in his hand.
At that moment, Zhou Long, who had been silent until now, pushed up his sunglasses and said: "Shut up! The Young Master's Soul Snatching Technique requires the woman to willingly offer herself as a sacrifice. This essence girl holds immense significance for the Young Master; do you even understand what that means?"
As soon as Zhou Long finished speaking, the other two instantly fell silent as if someone had pressed a mute button. They looked cautiously at Zhou Long and Lu Zhan. At this point, Lu Zhan waved his hand and said: "Zhou Bo, let it go; they didn't mean any harm. They don't understand this matter; ignorance is no crime!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" The two immediately bowed in respect. Meanwhile, Lu Zhan glanced at the gentle flow of water nearby and thought to himself: "Liu Yiyi is my woman; the Soul Snatching Technique has already entered its final stage. Xiao Yefeng better know his place; otherwise, he will suffer worse than his father!" With that thought in mind, Lu Zhan's delicate fingers left a deep mark on the wooden railing beside him. Just based on this alone, his achievements in Ancient Martial Arts were not inferior to Xiao Yefeng's—if anything, they might even surpass him.
Who could have known that a renowned diviner without combat prowess possessed such extraordinary finger strength? And what exactly was Lu Zhan's true identity? No one knew!
As the night approached midnight, in a teahouse nestled within an alley in Beijing North, Xiao Yefeng was waiting for Liu Yiyi in a relatively quiet private room. Tonight, Xiao Yefeng was reminiscing about the cultivation methods that Lu Zhan had shared with him. Although they were incomplete, they were indeed the techniques of those from the Absolute Pulse lineage. The most crucial aspect was that these fragments provided a detailed introduction to the basics of cultivation, and after reading through them, Xiao Yefeng understood why Lu Zhan had been indifferent.
These cultivation methods were entirely meant for those of the Absolute Pulse; other cultivators could not utilize them at all. Even if the fragments were complete, they would still be useless to Xiao Yefeng.
At that moment, a series of footsteps echoed down the corridor. Soon, Liu Yiyi entered the private room, dressed in a trench coat, wide-brimmed hat, mask, and large sunglasses! Anyone unaware would think she was some kind of celebrity.
After pouring a cup of tea for Liu Yiyi, Xiao Yefeng fell silent. The two exchanged glances without speaking. Eventually, Liu Yiyi bit her lip and said, "Brother Xiao, you are my brother's good friend. I can trust you, right?" With those words, Liu Yiyi seemed to collapse inwardly, as if her very backbone had been pulled away.
"Of course! Brother Liu is my brother; you are his sister. I promised Brother Liu that I would ensure your happiness for the rest of your life, even if it cost me my own!" Xiao Yefeng's eyes remained calm and steady as he looked at Liu Yiyi.
"It's because of my brother again! If it weren't for him, would you still care about me?" Liu Yiyi asked cautiously.
This question had never crossed Xiao Yefeng's mind. Indeed, he and Liu Yiyi had always been like parallel lines; without Liu Xuanhuang's involvement, how would he have met this young lady from the Liu family? At that moment, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but wonder if he would genuinely care about this girl without his connection to Liu Xuanhuang.
An awkward silence lingered between them for three minutes as they held their teacups without taking a sip. It was as if Xiao Yefeng had been paused in time while Liu Yiyi let out a bitter smile and said, "Brother Xiao, please don't misunderstand; I didn't mean anything else!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Yefeng chuckled and shook his head. "I have to say, Yiyi, you've caught me off guard with that question. You know I never speak insincerely. This is something I've never considered before. My approach to you has always been to fulfill Brother Liu's wishes—taking care of you and helping you has been my way of repaying a debt of gratitude. Those were my only motivations for being close to you. To be honest, we shouldn't have crossed paths."
Xiao Yefeng's words left Liu Yiyi feeling despondent. However, she had to admit that Xiao Yefeng didn't need her help at all. Regardless of whether it was related to Solar Group or not, did she really think someone with extraordinary abilities would lack money? Did she think a capable man would struggle to attract women? Without those two factors, it seemed she had no redeeming qualities left at all!
