Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 706 - 359, First-class Primordial Spirit, Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit

"The gift is a fine gift, but I'm afraid the person... is not a good person."

However, just as the tense atmosphere gradually eased, a deep voice resounded in the guest room, causing everyone present to frown involuntarily.

The words were clearly ill-intentioned, as plain as day.

Xu Xing looked up, his gaze falling upon the speaker. He saw a foppish male attendant standing behind Grandmaster Zi Lan, then shook his head slightly.

Having experienced many such tempests, Xu Xing was long accustomed to such situations. He did not grow angry but simply smiled, picked up his tea cup, and took a sip of tea.

However... a minister should die for his master's insult.

As Xu Xing's housekeeper, Su Fanglin naturally could not ignore this.

Even though she knew this was a trap deliberately set by the Zi Lan Array Shop, she had no choice but to walk into it.

If Xu Xing were merely a Nascent Soul Freelance Cultivator at this moment and suffered such humiliation, it would not be a significant matter.

However, the current Xu Xing was different; he was already bound to the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family and had established a firm foothold on Heavenly Star Island.

Once his reputation was tarnished, the price to pay would be far greater than the cost of being forced into this insidious scheme.

In other words, Zi Lan Array Shop had dug two pits for Xu Xing. No matter which way he turned, he would fall into one of them.

When choosing between two evils, one picked the lesser.

At least, the pit before him did not seem as costly as the alternative of a damaged reputation.

A faint anger appeared on Su Fanglin's face. She looked coldly at Grandmaster Zi Lan. "I wonder, were this person's words instructed by Grandmaster Zi Lan, or were they his own doing?"

"If it is the former, this matter will not be so easily resolved!" she said, enunciating each word.

Hearing Su Fanglin's words, a trace of appreciation flickered in Xu Xing's eyes, and he secretly nodded.

It was at this moment that Xu Xing realized the benefit of having a clever attendant.

Some matters did not require his direct orders; the attendant could discern his intentions and help him "stand up for himself."

Undoubtedly, Su Fanglin was such an attendant.

Seeing Su Fanglin's question, and that Xu Xing had no intention of intervening, the gorgeously dressed woman fell silent for a brief moment. She then stared deeply into Su Fanglin's eyes for a few moments before declaring decisively, "It is the latter!"

Having spoken, the gorgeously dressed woman narrowed her eyes and said, "Miao Qing, for this, you are punished with thirty years as a Retainer, and your Cultivation will be sealed for Three Years. If you dare to offend again, I will not hesitate to use the Sect's Major Punishment!"

"Yes, Master," the foppish attendant said, kneeling on the ground to accept his punishment.

This domineering and resolute manner of handling things, along with the pressure of a Nascent Soul powerful person that the gorgeously dressed woman exuded with every gesture, caused Su Fanglin, who stood opposite her, to turn slightly pale.

She had never imagined she would have the courage to question a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord.

"Don't worry."

"I'm here."

Just as Su Fanglin felt overwhelmed by the pressure and retreated half a step, a Sound transmission via Divine Sense from Xu Xing echoed in her mind.

Confidence immediately bloomed in her heart. She withstood the gorgeously dressed woman's pressing gaze and did not retreat further.

The Nascent Soul Realm... doesn't seem so terrifying after all, Su Fanglin thought.

She subtly turned her Qiufu, her gaze stealing a secret glance at Xu Xing, who sat beside her. His demeanor was calm and serene, like an evergreen ancient cypress, exuding a comforting presence.

"Today, I, Huang Longzi, have two purposes for visiting Grandmaster Zi Lan. First, as it is my initial visit to Chengxin Alley, I wish to greet my peers, lest I appear aggressive and lacking in courtesy."

"Second, to identify my Tiande Formation Method Shop's rival in Chengxin Alley."

"Without competition, development is difficult!"

At this moment, Xu Xing, who had remained silent, finally spoke. With his first words, he set the tone for the future relationship between the two Formation Method Shops in Chengxin Alley.

It was to be confrontation and competition, not cooperation.

"Zi Lan Array Shop?" Xu Xing rose from his Zitan Armchair, shook his head, and smiled. "I am more than happy to contend with Grandmaster Zi Lan. I hope Grandmaster Zi Lan does not disappoint me too greatly..."

With that, Xu Xing flicked his sleeve, used his Magic Power to open the guest room Door, and leisurely walked out.

Seeing this, Su Fanglin quickly followed Xu Xing, leaving the Zi Lan Array Shop.

"Master..."

"What should we do now?"

"Huang Longzi is not an easy opponent!"

Seeing Xu Xing exit the guest room, the boy who had been kneeling stood up, glanced at Grandmaster Zi Lan, and hurriedly asked.

Anyone could see that recklessly making an enemy of a Nascent Soul Cultivator was by no means a good thing.

His earlier insolent words had not been his own intention.

Rather, Grandmaster Zi Lan had spoken those words through him.

"He is merely a Nascent Soul Freelance Cultivator who has possessed a demon's body."

"Not worth mentioning."

Grandmaster Zi Lan's expression was slightly cold. She extended a jade hand to tuck a stray lock of hair from her forehead behind her ear.

Although her movements were devoid of any coquetry, her unattainable status as a Direct Disciple of the Kui Star Gate and her icy beauty made the attendants behind her gaze with infatuation.

Of the attendants following Grandmaster Zi Lan, some revered her skill in array technique, but the vast majority admired and loved her.

"Master, your temple hair is damp."

A female attendant stepped forward to arrange Grandmaster Zi Lan's hair. When she noticed the fine beads of cold sweat trickling from her temples, she couldn't help but be startled.

Grandmaster Zi Lan muttered softly, So, I am also afraid...

I just hope this choice... won't make me regret it... she sighed quietly to herself.

This time, her "rash" offense towards Xu Xing was not of her own volition but due to another's command.
