To be honest, setting aside everything else, Wu Chaochang’s willingness to personally take risks for his subordinates was beyond his expectations. It was sowhat admirable.
Unfortunately, admiration didn’t change the fact that he was still their enemy.
"Anyway," Su Mo continued, "Number One and the others completely emptied the Red Cloaks’ base. The Evil Divination Mirror is already in our hands."
Yang Qingxi nodded.
"Then our next target for this visit is clear, both Ye Chen and Wu Chaochang."
"Exactly."
Since the two had arrived at White Moon Sect together. Their objectives were practically delivering themselves to the door. Why waste this opportunity?
Thinking about it, Su Mo suddenly felt that luck was on their side lately.
anwhile, Yang Qingxi shifted her attention back toward the system interface.
"I obtained quite a few system points. I plan to increase my cultivation."
Su Mo imdiately beca interested.
"Go ahead. I’ll watch from the side."
Yang Qingxi rolled her eyes.
Why did he make it sound like so sort of performance?
Still, she opened the system store. A familiar option imdiately appeared.
[Foundation Building (Level 2): 20,000 Luck Points]
Without hesitation, she selected it.
’Purchase.’
The points disappeared instantly.
Soon, another option appeared.
[Foundation Building (Level 3): 30,000 Luck Points]
Yang Qingxi paused briefly. Then made her decision.
’Buy it.’
The next mont, an enormous amount of spiritual energy surged through her body.
Warm currents spread through every ridian.
Her bones, flesh, and spiritual sea were all nourished by the incoming energy.
Not only did the quantity of spiritual energy increase, but its quality also underwent a significant improvent.
The sensation was difficult to describe.
It felt as though every part of her body had beco lighter and stronger.
Yang Qingxi slowly opened her eyes.
A trace of excitent appeared within them.
Foundation Building Level Three.
Her strength had increased considerably once again.
However, that excitent only lasted a few monts.
Soon, she cald herself down.
’No.’
’I’m still far from strong enough.’
Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward the snowy mountains outside the window.
White Moon Sect alone possessed nurous Foundation Building cultivators. Not to ntion the Golden Core experts.
Then there was the information her mother had recently revealed regarding her maternal family.
Compared to those truly powerful forces, she was still rely a junior cultivator.
’I still have a long way to go.’
The excitent gradually faded. Replacing it was determination.
She checked her remaining balance. More than ten thousand points remained. Enough to purchase a C-rank technique.
However, after so consideration, Yang Qingxi ultimately closed the interface.
Although her cultivation had increased, she still lacked powerful close-combat thods.
The Lunar Arts used by White Moon Sect seed quite suitable for her fighting style.
Unfortunately, there was one problem. She lacked Yin affinity.
Without the proper affinity, learning such techniques would be far less effective.
Thinking of this, her attention shifted towards another item in the store.
The Random Affinity Box.
Price: 20,000 Luck Points.
Yang Qingxi’s eyes flickered slightly.
If she could draw Yin affinity from it, many of her current problems would be solved.
Of course, there was also the possibility of obtaining so other elents.
After all, her luck items had never been particularly reliable.
For now, however, she decided to wait. There was no need to rush.
The points weren’t going anywhere.
Besides, they still had two Destiny Protagonists waiting for them inside White Moon Sect.
Let them contribute more points.
***
Su Mo controlled several Winter Crane Flies using his Insect Cultivation Technique and quietly sent them throughout White Moon Sect.
He had no intention of using Spiritual Sense recklessly.
This was soone else’s territory.
Who knew how many old monsters were hidden inside the sect?
Besides, in most cultivation novels, sects always had strange formations capable of detecting Spiritual Sense. If he accidentally alard an elder, explaining himself would be troubleso.
The Winter Crane Flies were different.
They were native to the Frostspine Mountains.
No one paid attention to them.
As expected, the insects moved around the sect without attracting any notice. Information continuously flowed back through the connection.
The layout of the sect. The locations of important buildings. Recent movents of disciples.
Various pieces of gossip.
And most importantly... Ye Chen’s whereabouts.
After a while, Su Mo opened his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Receiving information from multiple insects at once was surprisingly tiring.
"What did you find?" Yang Qingxi asked.
"Ye Chen’s location is confird. She really beca the Sect Master’s personal disciple."
Yang Qingxi wasn’t surprised by that, as Shen Xing had said that already.
"But..." Su Mo paused.
"But what?"
His expression beca sowhat strange.
"Her situation is a little different from what we expected."
Yang Qingxi frowned.
"Can you stop speaking halfway?"
Su Mo coughed.
"The Sect Master’s son, Wu Lao, apparently fell in love with Ye Chen at first sight."
"..."
"He even begged the Sect Master to accept her as a disciple so they could spend more ti together."
Yang Qingxi stared at him.
For a mont, she suspected he was making things up.
Unfortunately, Su Mo’s expression was serious.
"And that’s not all."
He continued.
"Shen Xing seems to have grown up with Wu Lao. A lot of disciples think she likes him."
"Now Wu Lao is constantly paying attention to Ye Chen."
"Because of that, the entire sect is gossiping about the three of them."
Yang Qingxi was silent for several seconds.
Then she finally said,
"Is Ye Chen planning to marry Wu Lao to beco stronger?"
Su Mo thought about it.
"Probably not."
"Then?"
"More likely she’s using him."
Yang Qingxi imdiately found a flaw in that logic.
"Can she run after using him?"
"..."
"..."
The room beca quiet.
Neither of them felt optimistic about Ye Chen’s chances.
White Moon Sect wasn’t so roadside force she could casually offend.
Su Mo suddenly laughed.
"What?" Yang Qingxi looked at him suspiciously.
"I was just thinking."
His smile beca sowhat evil.
"If Ye Chen really gets trapped into marriage, wouldn’t that be interesting to watch?"
