Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 461: Don’t Be Greedy

Shangguan Qiong giggled and said, “Congratulations, you guessed it right. Jun Wuxie will indeed foolishly jump into the trap!”

Lin Fengmian quietly waited for her to continue. Shangguan Qiong didn’t keep him in suspense, and directly took out a brocade box and opened it.

Inside, a bright light shone out, revealing a ginseng the size of a carrot.

The root of the ginseng was tied with a red string, but the overflowing spiritual energy was unmistakable. At a glance, it was clear that this was an extraordinary treasure.

Shangguan Qiong explained, “This is Refining Spirit Ginseng. It can remove impurities from one’s spiritual roots and reshape them.”

“For someone like Jun Wuxie who has mixed spiritual roots, this is the best treasure. It’s also the perfect cover for the changes in your spiritual roots.”

Lin Fengmian suddenly understood and said, “So Yue Shuying is the one chosen to refine this Refining Spirit Ginseng?”

“But aren’t you afraid that Jun Wuxie might not use it and instead find someone else to refine it?”

Shangguan Qiong smiled charmingly and said, “Do you think it’s so easy to find a physician capable of refining this Refining Spirit Ginseng?”

“The Leech Demon Clan are natural-born miracle doctors, extremely rare. And the Heavenly Leech Demon Clan that can purify bloodlines has already become extinct.”

“When the time comes, I’ll point out her identity to Jun Wuxie. With the help of the Exquisite White Jade Cauldron to enhance the refining effect, combined with the Heavenly Leech Demon’s bloodline purification, the results will be extraordinary.”

A cold, alluring smile appeared on her lips as she pointed at the Exquisite White Jade Cauldron.

“The dual temptation of instantly undergoing a transformation and rebirth-I don’t believe he won’t be tempted. He’ll definitely fall into the trap like a fool!”

Lin Fengmian fully understood the Joyful Union Sect’s plan. He had to admit that this strategy of luring the enemy into a trap had a high chance of success.

The Refining Spirit Ginseng, the Heavenly Leech Demon capable of purifying bloodlines, and the specially crafted Exquisite White Jade Cauldron all had irreplaceable effects.

As long as Jun Wuxie didn’t detect any issues with the Cauldron, he would most likely fall into the trap.

Once the Cauldron’s lid was closed, it would become a battlefield for the three of them.

Inside the cauldron, Yue Shuying would be invincible at the level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Jun Wuxie wouldn’t stand a chance.

Lin Fengmian let out a bitter laugh and said, “Indeed, greed must not be stirred. Once that happens, it’s easy to be taken advantage of.”

Shangguan Qiong smiled sweetly and said, “So you should also be careful in the future, lest someone take advantage of you!”

“Jun Wuxie, as a favored prince, has many enemies.”

Lin Fengmian nodded and said, “I understand. So this cauldron will be used to carry Yue Shuying’s over there?”

He looked at the extremely narrow space inside and frowned. “The space is too small. Can I really hide in there?”

Shangguan Qiong threw him a jade slip, revealing a dangerous yet seductive smile.

“This is the Bone Shrinking Technique. If you can’t master it, I’ll have to break your limbs and stuff you in.”

Lin Fengmian took the jade slip and said expressionlessly, “I’ll definitely learn it.”

Shangguan Qiong nodded and said, “We’ll leave early tomorrow morning and arrive by noon. Have a good rest tonight.”

With that, she gracefully left and entered the secluded chamber where she and Shangguan Yu were staying.

Shangguan Yu looked at her with reluctance and said, “Sister, why don’t I go instead?”

Shangguan Qiong shook her head and said, “It makes no difference who goes. How would you explain it to Junior Sister Zhou?”

“Besides, I’m better at handling various situations than you are. The Joyful Union Sect still needs you to keep an eye on things.”

Since the plan this time involved offering herself, it had to be Shangguan Qiong who went.

If Shangguan Yu went and returned still a virgin, how would she explain it to Zhou Biting?

A hint of worry flashed in Shangguan Yu’s eyes. Although the plan seemed flawless…

But how could their plan be foolproof if they knew nothing about Jun Wuxie’s current situation?

Shangguan Yu nodded, no longer dwelling on it.

After all, if the plan failed, it would only mean an early or late death.

She gently hugged Shangguan Qiong and emotionally said, “Sister!”

Shangguan Qiong hugged her back and softly comforted her, “Yu’er, I’ll be fine.”

…

While the two women were lost in their intimate moment, Lin Fengmian was alone, studying the Bone Shrinking Technique. He was quickly gaining insight.

Tonight, he had a rare moment of solitude, but his heart was still uneasy.

According to history, Luo Xue would live safely for at least two hundred years, but he could die at any moment.

After much thought, he decided to bid Luo Xue farewell. Just then, the jade pendant lit up as if sensing his thoughts.

Lin Fengmian responded to the pendant and met Luo Xue, who was standing alone in the mysterious space.

“How are things on your side?” they asked at the same time.

Luo Xue burst out laughing. “Why are you copying me?”

“I’m not copying you. This is called being in sync, get it?” Lin Fengmian teased.

“Stop joking around!”

Luo Xue rolled her eyes at him. “Tell me your situation first. Why have you been ignoring me all this time?”

Lin Fengmian pointed to the dark circles under his eyes and said helplessly, “I haven’t slept a wink since we parted. I’ve been busy for half a month. How did I have time to look for you?”

Luo Xue asked curiously, “What’s going on? Has the future changed?”

Lin Fengmian shook his head and explained everything that had happened on his end, including the matter of Zhen Bai and her daughter.

“The cycle of cause and effect is truly miraculous. If you hadn’t saved the Heavenly Leech Demon, there would be no Joyful Union Sect’s plan to replace the heir.”

Luo Xue’s tone was filled with reflection, but even more so with helplessness.

Because she knew that the Joyful Union Sect’s plan to switch heirs had been set in motion before Lin Fengmian saved the Heavenly Leech Demon.

From her point of view, the cause hadn’t happened yet, but the effect had already appeared.

However, from the entire timeline, there was no contradiction.

The cause a thousand years ago came first, and the effect a thousand years later followed.

It seemed as if everything had already been predestined, and all their efforts were in vain.

However, Lin Fengmian didn’t dwell on these thoughts. After all, he had already mentally prepared himself for this.

It seemed that they would have to change their approach and consider deceiving history.

But for now, the most important thing was to survive tomorrow.

If he died, then everything would be meaningless.

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to Haining City with Shangguan Qiong. Success or failure, life or death, it all comes down to this.”

He looked at Luo Xue with reluctance in his eyes. “If I fail, I may never see you again.”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Luo Xue slapped him lightly, then hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you want me to come and help you?”

Lin Fengmian shook his head. “No, even if you come, you won’t be able to help much. I can handle it.”

“Alright, I’ve told you about my situation. What about yours? What did Qionghua Supreme say?”

Luo Xue looked slightly guilty and awkwardly replied, “I haven’t returned to Qionghua yet. It’ll take another day or two.”

Lin Fengmian was confused. “Why are you so slow?”

With the speed of a Saint, how could it take so long unless she was flying the entire way?

Luo Xue explained, “I passed through the Eastern Wilderness, so I took the opportunity to visit Ning City.”

“This time, I didn’t go through Zhao Kingdom, but followed the location. I actually found Ning City, which had just been built.”

Lin Fengmian was surprised. “Why did you go to Ning City?”

Luo Xue smiled mischievously. “I went to look for your ancestors. There are quite a few people with the surname Lin in Ning City, but I’m not sure which one is your ancestor.”

“At that time, I tried to contact you, but you didn’t respond. I waited a few days and then left. What’s your ancestor’s name?”
