Watching these people leave, Su Wenjing looked down at Li Yunxian, his voice carrying a hint of surprise: “So you really were teaching them? Those words actually worked that well!”
He felt like Li Yunxian hadn’t really said much.
Li Yunxian turned to look at Su Wenjing, her voice also filled with surprise: “Yeah, I actually really taught them!”
The things she had said to those people were all true, but she hadn’t put much heart into it.
Su Wenjing’s first reaction was that Li Yunxian was joking with him again, but looking at her expression, he realized she was genuinely surprised.
Su Wenjing was stunned: “I thought you were really having a Discussion on Dao.” Then he asked in surprise, “Then how did that person break through?”
Li Yunxian blinked, puzzled: “You’re also in the Transcendence Stage. Can’t you tell whether it was a Discussion on Dao or not?”
Su Wenjing was speechless: “I thought your Ren Clan Cultivation was just that simple.”
Li Yunxian burst out laughing: “How is that possible? You know better than that.”
“In the eyes of Tiandao, the Path of Righteousness and the Demonic Path are no different, and the Ren Clan is no different from other races. There’s no such thing as Ren Clan Cultivation being simpler or easier.”
“However, truly believing that one is practicing the Dao they believe in does make it easier to break through the shackles of the heart.”
“I originally thought I would have to wait at least a few months.”
“As long as one person showed even a little progress, the others would truly believe everything I said.”
“Even if there was only a tiny bit of effect, it would be enough.”
“Enough to get them on my ‘shady endeavor’.”
“The result—”
“Result—”
“To think someone would actually break through as soon as they walked out the door.”
Li Yunxian’s voice carried a hint of emotion. “This effect is too good; I almost suspect I hired a shill.”
Su Wenjing was speechless.
He thought to himself, did Li Yunxian’s act of taking three parts truth and calling it ten, resulting in a full ten parts of efficacy, count as tricking people?
Ultimately, Su Wenjing reached a conclusion:
Cunning Humans were too complicated; he gave up thinking about it.
Su Wenjing followed Li Yunxian further into the Du Jie District and changed the subject:
“…That guy surnamed Fei isn’t quite right.”
Li Yunxian gave a soft hum of agreement: “Mm, he cut off the exchange several times in the middle.”
For example, when one person said they were all built up by drugs and refused the Discussion on Dao.
Or for example, when he said he wanted to be a hero, making those behind him feel too embarrassed to speak.
Similar remarks happened a few more times afterward. At the time, those reactions didn’t seem like a problem, but thinking carefully, the fact that they all came from this one person was very subtle.
“And… I felt the killing intent he leaked toward me,” Li Yunxian said very calmly.
As a top-tier Sword Cultivator, although Li Yunxian had restarted her Cultivation, her sense of danger remained very strong. Even if it was only for a split second, Li Yunxian could clearly capture it.
After speaking, Li Yunxian smiled at Su Wenjing with her eyes curving: “Luckily you were by my side, otherwise he might have made a move on the spot.”
Su Wenjing looked at Li Yunxian’s smile.
He slightly averted his gaze: “That guy is no match for you.”
That Fei Lianzhang was only at the Jindan Mid-Stage just like Li Yunxian. “No matter how powerful a possession is, its ability level is limited by the body.”
After confirming Fei Lianzhang had issues, the abnormalities on his body naturally could not hide from the eyes of two who had reached the Transcendence Stage.
They could tell that Fei Lianzhang himself was indeed a Cultivator of the Path of Righteousness, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to smoothly pass the verification of this Du Jie District.
There was a verification device at every intersection here.
It was just that the person wasn’t entirely the Li Qiu Alliance’s Fei Lianzhang. There was a faint imprint that exerted influence over Fei Lianzhang from time to time.
Perhaps Fei Lianzhang himself didn’t even realize he was being manipulated.
“But it’s annoying when meetings are disrupted,” Li Yunxian said casually, then thought of something and turned to look at Su Wenjing, laughing quietly, “In the past, whenever I said ‘thanks to you,’ you’d just give me a ‘tch’.”
Su Wenjing: “…”
Su Wenjing: “I wasn’t that annoying, was I…?” Su Wenjing’s eyes widened slightly.
However, the memory of those in the Transcendence Stage is never bad, let alone when these things only happened two years ago.
With a little reflection, Su Wenjing remembered everything.
Mm.
In the past, he really was that annoying.
Su Wenjing: “…”
He felt like he was falling apart.
Li Yunxian immediately laughed even louder.
An expression of embarrassment turning into anger appeared on Su Wenjing’s face, but he had no way to make Li Yunxian stop laughing.
Ultimately, Su Wenjing chose to change the subject again.
“Who are you going to arrange to interface with them, as you mentioned at the end?” Su Wenjing said very stiffly, “We’re leaving in a little over a month.”
Their Exchange Mission had a time limit.
While Min Juan and the others wouldn’t mind if they stayed a bit longer, the matters regarding the various factions certainly couldn’t be settled in a short time.
A few years or even a dozen years would be considered short.
The members of the Exchange Group certainly wouldn’t stay here, and neither would Li Yunxian.
Su Wenjing had already seen that Li Yunxian wasn’t the type who liked doing trivial things.
In everything she did, she only controlled the general direction.
She was a very standard leader.
“Your two helpers won’t be able to outplay these people either; they aren’t suitable for interfacing.” The two helpers Su Wenjing mentioned were Sheng Yu and Ying Wenhe.
These two were far too young. While they weren’t stupid, they lacked experience. In Su Wenjing’s eyes, they were too clean and innocent.
Recalling the schemes and various calculated plots discussed by the representatives of those factions in the meeting room these past few days.
Without a doubt, Sheng Yu and Ying Wenhe would definitely not be a match for these people.
As for whether there was a hidden jab at Ying Wenhe in those words, only Su Wenjing knew.
However, Su Wenjing’s words were indeed the truth, and Li Yunxian hadn’t considered those two at all.
Li Yunxian said directly and decisively: “I know, don’t worry! I’m very clear on who can do what!”
“I thought of the interface person from the very beginning.”
“Don’t worry, she’ll definitely be fine.”
Su Wenjing looked at Li Yunxian’s face full of trust and certainty, and his mind began to race…
When did Li Yunxian make another close friend that he didn’t know about?
To the point where even such a crucial matter could be entrusted with full confidence?
It would certainly not be smooth for these Shenzhou people to interface with those on the Interstellar side after returning; it was equivalent to giving full authority over the affairs of these factions to that interface person.
And she had “thought of it from the very beginning.”
This “very beginning” undoubtedly meant before the meeting.
Had Li Yunxian spent several days grinding with these faction members just to hand them over to that person in the end?
Su Wenjing pursed his lips and followed silently behind the laughing Li Yunxian.
Seeing Li Yunxian’s currently relaxed and happy state, moving forward with clear purpose.
Without a doubt, the person Li Yunxian wanted to see now was that person.
When did Li Yunxian make an appointment to meet that person?
Su Wenjing found that he had no idea at all.
In fact, at that time, even the person being sought out by Li Yunxian… didn’t know herself.
Min Juan looked silently at the two people who suddenly appeared before her: “…?”
“What’s happened now?” Min Juan asked the two of them very cautiously.
Li Yunxian’s voice was light: “I told you before that I would bring you some good news!”
“The conversation just took much longer than I imagined, so it was delayed by a few days.”
“But the result is perfect!”
Li Yunxian simply and clearly relayed the contents of what they discussed in the meeting room, including her situation with each of the faction representatives, to Min Juan.
After Min Juan finished listening: “…”
“So… you mean you want me to interface with these factions for you?!” Min Juan asked with a wooden face, looking at Li Yunxian.
Li Yunxian nodded: “I don’t think anyone is more suitable than you.”
She didn’t want to manage it, nor was it appropriate for her to manage it.
Sheng Yu and Ying Wenhe were even more out of the question.
Even if the two of them had the ability to take it over, Li Yunxian would not give it to them.
This thing was too big, and the weight was too heavy. For anyone in the Lishi, it would be a hot potato.
The authorities would not be able to stop themselves from wondering: what were these people doing joining forces?
Were they trying to create a small government?
This was not a good thing.
On the contrary, giving it to someone from the official side like Min Juan could exchange for protection for both the Lishi and Shenzhou.
The Path of Righteousness cares about both reputation and practical benefits.
Once the other party accepted this favor, if there was anything good in the future, they would definitely think of Li Yunxian and the Lishi and Shenzhou behind her first.
And was this good news for Min Juan?
Well, it was indeed good news…
Li Yunxian handing over the interface duties to her was equivalent to these factions falling under the official’s semi-jurisdiction from then on.
In the future, the authorities would have the power to restrain these factions and prevent situations like the previous oppression of people that only the Other Race would do.
Although the official jurisdiction was only behind the scenes, this was indeed a very good and very important matter.
It could be said that Li Yunxian was directly handing over a massive cake that they absolutely could not refuse.
This was a massive stroke of luck.
It was also a massive favor.
Recalling the expression Li Yunxian had when she gave her that Earth-grade Spirit Sword and said she would bring good news.
Min Juan felt she should be moved.
But…
Min Juan looked at the work in her hands that hadn’t been finished despite not closing her eyes for days, and then looked at the new task Li Yunxian had brought before her…
Yeah, this was another case where it couldn’t be easily handled by subordinates, and she could only drag Tang Shaoqi along to slog through it themselves.
Min Juan felt like she couldn’t bring herself to be moved.
What was going on?!
This group of people from Shenzhou had only been in Interstellar for about a month; how were they already so busy?!
In the past, didn’t those in the Transcendence Stage only serve to anchor the scene while spending their time cultivation quietly, preparing for their tribulation and ascension?!
Why had it turned into this?!
Min Juan couldn’t help but begin to ponder a question.
Could those fellows from the Transcendence Stage who restarted their cultivation, like Li Yunxian and Su Wenjing, have reached a point where their Dao Heart collapsed and their Xuewei plummeted because they were this busy?!
Min Juan grumbled in her heart, but on the surface, she just took a small deep breath and accepted this grand gift from Li Yunxian.
But there was no reason to take such a thing for free.
Yet this favor was too big…
Previously, Li Yunxian had found that conspiracy to subvert the entire Interstellar Path of Righteousness, and the Heaven-grade Spirit Sword they were supposed to give hadn’t even been delivered yet, and now another one had come.
“…Is there anything else you want?” Min Juan asked weakly.
