Feeling Li Yunxian’s resentful gaze, Su Wenjing: ?
He didn’t understand what was happening.
He only felt that the little look Li Yunxian gave him was vivid and interesting, and Su Wenjing couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth curl slightly.
When a person who was always cold and indifferent showed such an expression, it was very eye-catching. However, at this moment, no one was paying attention to Su Wenjing’s expression.
After seeing Li Yunxian appear, everyone swarmed around her with great excitement, leaving Su Wenjing, the captain who liked to put on airs to maintain his image, trailing behind.
Someone chirped and asked nonsense like where Li Yunxian had gone.
—This was a topic started by those who were bad at chatting; in fact, Su Wenjing had already relayed Li Yunxian’s situation.
Others happily congratulated Li Yunxian for stepping into the Jindan Great Perfection.
…Of course, there were also some who were not so happy.
For example, Duan Qiu.
She was howling in pain.
When she first met Li Yunxian two years ago, Li Yunxian was only in the Qi Refining Stage. At that time, she even wanted to be Li Yunxian’s Teacher.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yunxian’s cultivation level was the same as hers.
It was too discouraging!
She wanted to hold someone and cry!
The group was boisterous for quite a while, and finally, Li Yunxian ended up with a pile of things in her hands.
Whenever they saw something good or interesting, they had prepared a copy for Li Yunxian.
It was just that many people thought they were doing it secretly, but when everyone looked at each other now, it turned out everyone was doing the same thing!
The members of the Exchange Group:
These copycats!!
Li Yunxian accepted them without being polite at all.
A farewell party was held that night.
Knowing that Li Yunxian and the others were leaving, a huge number of people attended the party.
There were people Li Yunxian knew, as well as new friends made by other members of the Exchange Group.
The entire party didn’t break up until the early hours of the morning.
In the middle of it, Min Juan and Tang Shaoqi, the two at the Transcendence Stage, also came quietly with their identities hidden.
Min Juan had a small drink with Li Yunxian and brought her a piece of news.
Regarding the finished Heaven-grade Spirit Sword mentioned before, there was undoubtedly no way to give it to her.
They had inquired in all the star systems, and there were no extras.
Currently, the project to customize a Heaven-grade artifact for Li Yunxian had been launched.
It was expected to be completed in ten years.
Ten years was fleeting for a Cultivator. This efficiency was considered very fast. Without a doubt, Min Juan must have arranged for people to rush it.
Back in the Cultivation World, the birth of a Heaven-grade artifact was measured in centuries.
“Remember to come to Kuixing in ten years!” Min Juan said.
Li Yunxian smiled and clinked glasses with Min Juan: “Alright.”
After responding, Li Yunxian then asked, “And you? Aren’t you coming to Shenzhou to have some fun?”
Min Juan looked silently at the oblivious Li Yunxian.
Setting aside how terrifying it was for a place like Shenzhou to have two people like Li Yunxian and Su Wenjing who needed to restart their Transcendence Stage cultivation.
Just speaking of her current work state thanks to Li Yunxian, neither she nor Tang Shaoqi had the time for any exchange activities.
It was just that telling the truth would be a bit embarrassing.
However, the suggestion Li Yunxian made was indeed valuable, and Min Juan and the others had discussed and considered it.
“……There were no exchange plans in the past, so making special arrangements this time would be a bit too conspicuous.”
“Wait a while. Once the exchange between the two sides ends and it’s time for our people to negotiate joining the Interstellar, we’ll set the negotiation location in Shenzhou. That way, it will be natural for our people to go over,” Min Juan replied.
Li Yunxian felt this arrangement was quite meticulous and didn’t say anything more.
In the distance, Sheng Yu originally wanted to find Li Yunxian, but when two people at the Transcendence Stage chat, the methods they use are naturally not something people can easily discover.
So Sheng Yu didn’t see Li Yunxian, but she did see Ying Wenhe.
Other people from the Miaoying Guild were trying to persuade him, but he still drank one glass after another, looking extremely miserable.
Sheng Yu: “?”
She looked at her companions from the Changguang Guild in confusion: “What’s wrong with that guy? Looking like he’s about to die.”
The people of the Changguang Guild:
They didn’t know if they should comment on Sheng Yu’s thick-headedness. They replied, “He’s heartbroken, obviously.”
“When she was at Qi Refining, he was at Foundation Establishment. When she reached Foundation Establishment, he was still at Foundation Establishment.”
“Now she’s at Golden Core and about to reach Nascent Soul, and he’s still at Foundation Establishment.”
“He’s been left far behind.”
“How could he not be miserable to death?” Ying Wenhe’s little thoughts were practically known to everyone.
Sheng Yu understood, then immediately said smugly, “Heh, I knew that guy wouldn’t make it.”
“He feels bad when he sees our Leader’s cultivation progress.”
“But me!”
“I’ll only be happy for our Leader!!”
“As expected, I am the person who loves our Leader the most in this world!” Sheng Yu finally concluded smugly.
The people of the Changguang Guild:
Is that the same thing?!
They wanted to say something but ultimately kept their mouths shut.
Forget it, for a Sword Cultivator like Sheng Yu who always treats her sword as her partner, as long as she’s happy.
***
After the banquet ended, Li Yunxian and her party didn’t delay much in Kuixing. They packed up slightly and headed to the Transmission Zone.
The person in charge of the Transmission Zone already knew that there were two disguised Transcendence Stage experts among these people and directly swapped in higher-intensity energy blocks.
“This time, nothing will go wrong again!” The other party confidently gave Li Yunxian and her party a guarantee.
The members of the Exchange Group:
It would have been better if he hadn’t said it. Now that he said it, they felt like if something didn’t happen, they’d be letting that sentence down.
Especially……
Su Wenjing silently lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Yunxian.
Li Yunxian: “?”
What did Su Wenjing’s look mean?!
Li Yunxian glared back with a fake smile.
Su Wenjing immediately retracted his gaze, acting as if nothing had happened.
But in reality, the return trip this time was very smooth.
With enough information mastered, sufficiently prepared plans, and the fact that their Interstellar technology was reliable enough, luck and the like were not enough to cause an impact in the face of sufficient strength.
In short……
Li Yunxian and the others were back!!
The scene before them changed, and the familiar sight of the Shenzhou Capital City Transmission Zone appeared before everyone.
The time in Kuixing was early morning, but it was still broad daylight here in Shenzhou.
Before the return trip, Su Wenjing had already contacted Shenzhou. Knowing they were coming back, people at the Shenzhou Teleportation Array had been waiting for them early on.
“Welcome home,” the leader who had sent them off before said warmly to everyone.
The words sounded very pleasant, but the next thing to do was not very pleasant.
Because that thing was—
A meeting.
Too many things had happened during this exchange. After exchanging information and such, half a month had passed just like that.
When she stepped out of the Capital City Government Building, Li Yunxian felt as if the sound of reports was still echoing in her ears.
She hurriedly shook her head to shake out those terrifying hallucinations.
Seeing Li Yunxian’s movements, Su Wenjing asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Meetings are so tiring,” Li Yunxian complained.
Su Wenjing:
As far as he knew, the meeting time for past exchange groups was only about three to five days.
This meeting could last so long……
Su Wenjing looked at Li Yunxian and didn’t continue his train of thought.
He only asked Li Yunxian, “What are you planning to do next?”
Most of those who participated in the Exchange Group had full-time jobs. For example, Duan Qiu was an Assistant Instructor, and Su Wenjing was a high-level Professor at Tiantong Academy.
Others were in the Xueshi, and some were in the Special Administration Bureau.
Only Li Yunxian was an unemployed person who had just graduated and hadn’t started working yet.
However, with Li Yunxian’s level of wealth and resources, whether she worked or not had no meaning for her.
Li Yunxian waved her phone at Su Wenjing: “I told you before, I made an appointment with the Wenwu Principal to go to the Divine Ruins.”
“But she doesn’t seem to be ready yet, so I can rest for a few more days.”
Wenwu Principal Fu Ling was indeed not ready.
Who could have imagined that when she saw Li Yunxian in Pingnan not long ago, Li Yunxian had only just reached Foundation Establishment. In the blink of an eye, Li Yunxian had already reached Golden Core!
Fu Ling’s original expectation was to wait for Li Yunxian for at least several decades.
That is the normal cultivation speed of a genius!!
What was with this girl Li Yunxian!
Even if there were no thresholds for Cultivation and she was just pouring Qi into her body, the cultivation speed shouldn’t be this fast!
When Fu Ling saw the message Li Yunxian sent her when she had time, she was completely stunned.
She even suspected she was hallucinating, and finally thought that Li Yunxian’s account being hacked was the most normal situation.
Li Yunxian even turned on the video at that time and filmed other participants of the meeting to prove the authenticity of the news.
Now Fu Ling was at a loss, hurriedly starting to prepare.
“I have nothing to do these few days, I’ll go lend Teacher a hand.” Li Yunxian said to Su Wenjing with an air of righteous integrity.
Su Wenjing:
“You’re going to the workshop to leech magic tools, aren’t you?” Su Wenjing exposed Li Yunxian’s thoughts without mercy.
Li Yunxian blinked, putting on a look of surprise: “Wow! You know me so well~”
Su Wenjing:
Clearly Li Yunxian hadn’t said much, and even her whole expression was fake as could be, yet his heart seemed to suddenly skip a beat.
As if being affirmed by someone, he couldn’t restrain the happiness in his heart at all.
Su Wenjing’s mouth twitched.
“Let’s go,” Su Wenjing didn’t respond to Li Yunxian’s words, his voice sounding stiff.
Li Yunxian let out an “ah” and asked Su Wenjing in surprise, “Aren’t we waiting for Duan Qiu and the others?”
Su Wenjing:
Of course they had to wait.
It was just that once he started talking to Li Yunxian, he forgot about Duan Qiu and the others.
Looking at Su Wenjing’s expression, Li Yunxian started to chuckle again.
Su Wenjing gritted his teeth: “You’re doing it on purpose!”
He directed a voice of condemnation at Li Yunxian.
Li Yunxian, on the contrary, was stunned by these words.
It wasn’t because Su Wenjing’s condemnation was wrong.
It was because……
What Su Wenjing said was completely correct.
Li Yunxian realized that she was indeed intentionally teasing Su Wenjing for fun.
After knowing that Su Wenjing was interested in her.
Li Yunxian was very used to being liked.
No matter which world it was, there were many such people.
In fact, Li Yunxian rarely responded to anything. Most of the time, she treated them like she treated Ying Wenhe, as ordinary friends or even as juniors and younger generations.
Perhaps she would take care of them a little or appreciate the youngsters, but Li Yunxian had always maintained a good sense of boundaries.
She would not give hints that one could take a step further.
It was the other person’s business if they liked her.
But keeping someone hanging and letting their emotions get deeply entangled was another matter entirely.
Li Yunxian would not play with other people’s feelings.
But now……
Li Yunxian gave Su Wenjing a deep look.
Su Wenjing never expected that his tooth-gritting condemnation would earn him such a strange look from Li Yunxian—one he couldn’t understand at all.
Su Wenjing: “……?”
What did Li Yunxian’s look mean?
Su Wenjing felt lost in his heart.
