It was unreasonable for a Dao Pill Daoist to endure and tolerate a Returning Core Lord.
"What? Is Friend Liu doing this with such a purpose?"
Wu Miao was briefly stunned.
Although she was not satisfied with the Brocade-clothed Man driving away her guests, he was doing it for her benefit. Even though she was unhappy in her heart, she chose to endure.
Only when Xu Xing reminded her did she realize that the Brocade-clothed Man had ulterior motives.
Most of his sales are pills, and he has no competition with ...
Could it be...
Wu Miao thought of the Brocade-clothed Man’s repeated attempts to show his goodwill towards her.
She suddenly felt quite embarrassed and annoyed. "Friend Liu, I am already a married woman. There are many female cultivators in the world; why must you fixate on alone?"
With this Brocade-clothed Man’s Returning Core cultivation, he could have any kind of female cultivator he wanted.
Yet he persistently pursued her.
"Lady Xu..."
"If I, Liu, am not mistaken, you have no spouse."
The Brocade-clothed Man sneered. "I, Liu, have known you for twenty or thirty years, and I have never seen your spouse appear..."
Wu Miao was at a loss for words, not knowing how to defend herself.
"I, Liu, have inquired..."
"You are the Starfall Sect Saintess, who was auctioned at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and it was a True lineage of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace who bought you."
"That True lineage’s surna is Xu!" the Brocade-clothed Man continued.
Huge Mastiff Island was not far from Blue Sacred Island, so with just a little inquiry, one could learn about the old events from several decades ago.
Furthermore, Wu Miao had never concealed her appearance.
"I’m sorry."
Wu Miao shook her head. "I have already made a marriage agreent with him. In one hundred years, if his heart hasn’t changed, he will marry . He may not take it seriously, but I cannot... I will wait for these one hundred years."
She could see that Xu Xing’s promise to her at the ti was mostly perfunctory.
However, although Xu Xing’s intention was feigned, her feelings were genuine.
Perhaps it wasn’t really love.
It was mixed with various considerations of benefits.
For example, by marrying Xu Xing, the True lineage, as her spouse, she would enjoy many benefits. She could use the power of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace to return to the Starfall Sect. Even if the Starfall Sect abandoned her, she would still have a spouse to rely on...
"Thank you, Friend Yao."
Wu Miao stood up and thanked Xu Xing, whom she had addressed on her own initiative.
She then put the spiritual objects from the stall back into her storage bag and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, Lady Xu..."
Xu Xing hesitated for a mont and stopped Wu Miao.
"Does Friend Yao have anything important?" Wu Miao was puzzled.
"The spirit talismans sold by Lady Xu are much cheaper than those at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and other shops. Once I, Yao, return and try them, if they are of good quality, I will co back to Lady Xu for more purchases. However..."
"I don’t know if Lady Xu will set up a stall here again next ti?"
Xu Xing thought for a mont before saying this.
It was impossible for him to expose his identity just for Wu Miao’s situation.
"No."
Wu Miao forced a smile. "As Friend Yao just heard, I am the Starfall Sect Saintess... I will return to the Starfall Sect soon."
"I have been waiting here for him for nearly seventy years, and I haven’t found him yet. It’s ti to leave..." she said.
"Since you have waited for seventy years, why not wait for the last thirty years?" Xu Xing was surprised.
What happened today shouldn’t be enough to make Wu Miao change her mind and choose to leave.
It wouldn’t be a big deal to set up a stall in another place and avoid the cultivator surnad Liu.
At this mont, he suddenly realized why in the Fate Deduction, when he returned to East Huangzhou one hundred and fifty-eight years later, he didn’t et Wu Miao who had been waiting for him...
It was very likely that Wu Miao, just as in reality, had left the Wangchuan Sea early.
"Because..."
Wu Miao paused. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized sothing.
She suppressed the words in her throat and said discontentedly, "Friend Yao, this is my personal matter. We have only t once."
However, after she finished speaking, Wu Miao’s lips curled into a slight smile. "Today, Friend Yao helped out of trouble. I should repay Friend Yao’s kindness."
"The spiritual feast at the Cloud and Flower Building... Would Friend Yao do the honor?"
"I also have so spirit talismans reserved in my Cave Mansion."
She gathered her robes and bowed to Xu Xing.
「...」
「...」
「One hour later.」
Cloud and Flower Building.
C-13 private room.
The spiritual feast was ready.
Xu Xing sat on one side of the Eight Immortals Table, waiting quietly for Wu Miao’s arrival.
He was hesitating whether or not to tell Wu Miao his true identity.
After becoming an Outer Chamber Elder of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he was qualified to know so information about the Ten Major Sects. He also had so grasp of the recent developnts of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace.
A crucial point was that the Flying Feather Immortal Palace had not issued a warrant for his arrest.
Perhaps there was a secret warrant.
But on the surface, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace hadn’t torn off all pretenses, pursuing and killing the high-level mbers and disciples who had defected after the Heavenly Change...
Instead, they offered a high price: as long as the defected high-level mbers and disciples were willing to return to the Sect, their treatnt would be as before.
With so many openly defected Dao Lords and disciples serving as targets, he, a "True Man" in hiding, seed unremarkable.
Thus, it wasn’t very likely that Wu Miao, the Starfall Sect Saintess, was bait set by the Flying Feather Immortal Palace to catch him...
After my breakthrough to the Life Determining Ghost Immortal realm, I condensed a new main Immortal Fate: the Eight Extres Immortal Life [Fengdu Heavenly Cao]...
As long as I solidify this Immortal Fate, I can gain another chance for Fate Deduction. But... wasting it here...
Xu Xing hesitated.
Although he and Wu Miao, the Starfall Sect Saintess, had only t twice and it couldn’t be said he liked her that much.
But she had been devotedly waiting for him for seventy years. It would be too heartless if he didn’t respond at all.
