Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 724 - 368, Jade Void Small World

Returning to the Fire Spirit Sect.

Xu Xing didn't rashly go to see Wen Renlan. He vividly remembered greatly offending Wen Renlan in the Scripture Pavilion because of Shi Feiyang. With old grudges piled onto new ones, Wen Renlan probably loathed him to the bone now. Besides, he no longer had any leverage over Wen Renlan. After joining the Fire Spirit Sect, he had honored their agreement and returned all of Wen Renlan's personal belongings.

I must find an appropriate time to see Wen Renlan again... There are still decades left before Mr. Jade Void opens that Broken Miniature World, Xu Xing thought.

However, much to Xu Xing's surprise, while he hadn't sought out Wen Renlan regarding Mr. Jade Void's matter, Wen Renlan had come to Green Cloud Peak and found him first.

"Xu Xing, how did you do it? Shi Feiyang hasn't come looking for me for several consecutive months..." Wen Renlan knocked on the door of Xu Xing's Cave Mansion, strode into the living room, and plopped down on a stone bench, getting straight to the point.

When facing Xu Xing, Wen Renlan was clearly displeased and still harbored resentment over the incident in the Scripture Pavilion.

"Brother Shi hasn't looked for Immortal Wen in all these months?" Hearing this, a hint of surprise flickered in Xu Xing's eyes.

After befriending Shi Feiyang, he had learned more about the situation between Shi Feiyang and Wen Renlan. Shi Feiyang would visit Wen Renlan's Lonely Cloud Peak periodically, seeking opportunities to meet her.

"Perhaps Brother Shi is in closed-door Cultivation," Xu Xing prevaricated.

He speculated Shi Feiyang hadn't visited Wen Renlan's Lonely Cloud Peak because he had tasted the pleasures of Yunu Pavilion and, in a way, 'matured' instantly. Since his pursuit of Wen Renlan yielded no positive results, Shi Feiyang might have decided it was better to enjoy himself at Yunu Pavilion.

"He's not in closed-door Cultivation," Wen Renlan interrupted. "If Shi Feiyang were in closed-door Cultivation, I wouldn't have come to you."

Hearing this, Xu Xing instantly understood that Wen Renlan had come prepared. She possibly even knew where he and Shi Feiyang had been over the past few months, including their trips to Yunu Pavilion.

"Does Immortal Wen... harbor romantic feelings for Brother Shi?" Xu Xing asked, instead of answering her question directly.

He couldn't quite grasp Wen Renlan's reasons for seeking him out. Matters of affection between men and women were always difficult to predict. He had assumed Shi Feiyang's pursuit of Wen Renlan was one-sided and that Wen Renlan looked down on Shi Feiyang, but he couldn't be certain of the truth.

"Absolutely not!" Wen Renlan shook her Qiufu, disdain in her eyes. "Shi Feiyang is not a suitable match for me. I came to find Xu Daoist to ask what method you used to make Shi Feiyang stop pursuing me."

"At the same time, I would like to ask Xu Daoist... to ensure he continues to stay away. I would be immensely grateful."

She bowed deeply.

"This..."

Xu Xing was momentarily speechless.

"AHEM..." Xu Xing cleared his throat a few times and said, "There's no great secret to it. Xu Mou simply took Brother Shi to Yunu Pavilion. Brother Shi is diligent in his Cultivation but perhaps a bit too unaccustomed to worldly pleasures, and thus unaware of the wonders of dual cultivation..."

Xu Xing then recounted his assessment of Shi Feiyang and his reasons for taking him to Yunu Pavilion, holding nothing back.

"Is it that simple?"

Wen Renlan's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, as if she couldn't believe she had been 'defeated' by the Female Cultivators of Yunu Pavilion. This brought her a sense of relief, yet also a faint disappointment. She was the Fourth Elder of the Fire Spirit Sect; her status and identity were vastly more noble than those of the Female Cultivators from a place like Yunu Pavilion.

"Immortal Wen is indeed intelligent, but perhaps still a little lacking in worldly experience," Xu Xing offered diplomatically.

He couldn't very well tell Wen Renlan she had overestimated her own appeal, and that Shi Feiyang merely lusted after her. Once that desire was satisfied, he naturally wouldn't bother her anymore.

"Here are One Hundred Pill Jade. They are a gift for Xu Daoist. Please, Xu Daoist, make sure to take Shi Feiyang to Yunu Pavilion more often..." Wen Renlan produced a Jade Box and placed it on the stone table in the living room.

"Regarding this matter..."

Xu Xing shook his head. "Xu Mou took Brother Shi to Yunu Pavilion as a social courtesy, not to cause Brother Shi to become lost in such indulgences. This Pill Jade... I absolutely cannot accept."

One Hundred Pill Jade was a considerable sum, but he didn't particularly care for it. Secondly, he couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for a minor gain. If Xu Mou took Shi Feiyang to Yunu Pavilion for pleasure, the Great Elder, even if he found out, likely wouldn't be angry. He would probably just consider it networking or a social obligation. But if the intention was to corrupt Shi Feiyang, the nature of the matter would change entirely.

Hearing this, Wen Renlan raised an eyebrow but said no more, retrieving the Jade Box.

"Immortal Wen, please wait a moment," Xu Xing called out as Wen Renlan was about to leave.

"Xu Daoist... is there some other important matter you need to discuss with me?" Wen Renlan frowned.

Apart from matters concerning Shi Feiyang, she and Xu Xing had no other dealings; they generally kept out of each other's way.

"Xu Mou has an old friend..." Xu Xing paused, choosing his words carefully, then spoke of Lady Hua's situation. Of course, he didn't reveal Lady Hua's name or her origins in the Lower Realm. He only mentioned an old acquaintance at Yunu Pavilion who needed his help to be rescued.

"Regarding Mr. Jade Void and that Broken Miniature World, I hope Immortal Wen can set aside our past grievances and inform Xu Mou..." Xu Xing looked at Wen Renlan, hesitating for a moment before continuing.

"When did Xu Daoist become such a Gentleman?" Wen Renlan said with a half-smile.

Her few encounters with Xu Xing had all been rather unpleasant.

"For this assistance, Xu Mou will owe Immortal Wen a favor," Xu Xing promised.

"Truly?"

Wen Renlan's expression softened slightly. Although her words often seemed to belittle Xu Xing and suggest he was unscrupulous, deep down, she didn't actually believe he was a truly cunning or treacherous person.
