Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 593: You are seriously injured

Thousands of years had flowed by without leaving even the slightest trace on Chen Pingping; rather, they seemed to have made him look even younger.

His vitality was robust, his bones and meridians were as if in his adolescent years, and his whole being brimmed with youthful vigor.

His face was handsome and elegant, his physique tall and robust, with a head of thick, black hair.

Bright red lips and white teeth—he appeared harmless when he smiled.

Stepping out from the Heaven Tao Stone, he looked refined and handsome as he walked straight into the deep pit.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Had the forging failed, or had the forging failed?

Why was there not a hint of activity?

It was too calm.

Moreover, Chen Pingping’s appearance had drastically changed; was something amiss?

"You..." The Fairy, her face pale and her body convulsing, lay in the mud pit as she saw the approaching young Chen Pingping.

Her heart trembled.

Was it a success?

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "We meet again."

The Fairy was speechless.

"Are you injured?" Chen Pingping asked.

The Fairy remained silent.

Damn it...

She wanted to die.

The mighty Fairy, a supreme genius, had been seriously injured by a mere dog.

What was more infuriating was that the dog’s owner had the audacity to come over and feign concern.

Are you blind?

The Fairy was silently bleeding inside, but her face remained cold and indifferent, with an air of stubborn defiance.

She had already made her move. Now that she was seriously injured, he could do whatever he pleased with her.

"Are you interested in joining the Wuji Sect?" Chen Pingping said, grinning broadly.

What???

Huh?

The Fairy was stunned.

So were the cultivators present.

「On the Ancient Road.」

Wen Yuqing raised an eyebrow.

He’s hitting on her...

The cultivators had strange expressions on their faces.

The Fairy had unleashed her Tao to strike and kill Chen Pingping, but in the end, instead of retaliating, he invited her to join the Wuji Sect.

As if nobody could see through this little ruse.

"Right, let her join the Wuji Sect too," He Yitian exclaimed excitedly.

"What does it have to do with you?" Wen Qingshan retorted.

"It has nothing to do with you either!" He Yitian rolled his eyes. "Besides, from now on, please address me as Hall Master!"

He was, after all, the Hall Master in charge of the Refining Equipment Hall, holding a high position and esteemed status. Wen Qingshan, on the other hand, was merely a genius of the Central Court and held no formal position.

Thinking of this, He Yitian’s excitement grew even more.

If the Fairy joins the Wuji Sect, then...

"There’s no way the Fairy will agree to his offer. You can tell just by looking at her stubborn face," someone interjected.

"Wen Qingshan was the same before," another said.

"Right, Gu Mang was, too."

"..."

Within the Wuji Sect, Gu Mang, hearing these words, wasn’t moved at all. After all, he too held an important position and had access to a plethora of Spiritual Medicines.

Stubborn or not?

That was just hearsay.

But Wen Qingshan was not having any of it.

When the Fairy had attacked earlier, a crowd had watched him; although they didn’t speak outright, the implication was clear.

And now a group of people were looking at him again.

Previously, it was because of Hei. Now, it was because he had supposedly compromised without any backbone.

In that moment, Wen Qingshan wished he could just drop dead on the spot.

The Fairy yelled furiously, "Get lost! I’m never joining the Wuji Sect, so you can drop that idea!"

"Here she goes, walking with all her stubborn pride," someone couldn’t help but chuckle. "It’s exactly the same as it was with Fellow Daoist Gu Mang and Fellow Daoist Wen Qingshan."

"Indeed."

"That’s right... Now it’s time for Chen Pingping to win people over with virtue. Let’s guess, how will he persuade them?"

"I think using force to suppress them is better."

"No... Chen Pingping should appeal to their emotions and reason with them, talking sense into the Fairy."

"Are you crazy? Reason with her?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I don’t think it’s necessary..."

"For such matters, only Fellow Daoist Gu Mang and Fellow Daoist Wen Qingshan have experience."

Within the City of Extinction, both inside and out, most cultivators were discussing animatedly, watching with great interest.

Inside the Wuji Sect, however, everyone’s faces were full of shock.

They had been unaware, but now that they heard, they realized this was how Chen Pingping poached from others.

The former members of Fairy Valley immediately burst into tears; within this Sect, there were actually people more miserable than themselves.

Instantly, their gazes turned from shock to pity when they looked at Wen Qingshan.

Wen Qingshan’s face was dark.

"If you’re capable, kill me!" the Fairy said defiantly.

"Kill you? Why?" Chen Pingping asked in surprise. "Isn’t it good to join our Wuji Sect? The benefits and treatment are excellent. Plus, our Wuji Sect’s strength has greatly increased, making us a superpower, even stronger than the Ancient Country and Star Sea in some aspects. Joining the Wuji Sect to cultivate is definitely a wise choice!"

PAH!

The Fairy glared furiously. How could she not know what Chen Pingping was thinking? Besides, how had the Wuji Sect developed and reached its current state? Didn’t Chen Pingping have any self-awareness about it?

He had deceived a whole bunch of people.

As a Fairy, she had her pride.

She would never compromise.

Absolutely not.

She would rather die than submit.

"Not kill me? You think by torturing me, you can force me to join the Wuji Sect? Dream on!" The Fairy gritted her teeth, recalling some unpleasant experiences.

From the meeting in Soup Valley to the later events in the Dragon Soul Secret Realm, it seemed that ever since she encountered Chen Pingping, her days were nothing but misfortune.

If she really joined the Wuji Sect, there would surely be no good days ahead.

This guy was also petty and would definitely make things difficult for her.

Without waiting for Chen Pingping to speak, the Fairy added, "If you know what’s good for you, let me go, or else... when the Star Sea Sect Master strikes with the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, you and your Wuji Sect will be annihilated."

This was her last act of defiance and her trump card.

Chen Pingping looked up.

WHOOSH!

A group of Star Sea high-level experts quickly backed away.

Seeing this scene, the Fairy’s face turned ashen.

Chen Pingping frowned.

That group of Star Sea high-level figures vanished in an instant.

The Fairy was in disbelief.

"Really now, why run?" Chen Pingping murmured. "I, Chen Pingping, have always sought to win people over with virtue and prioritize reason. How could I possibly resort to coercion?"

He planned to discuss matters with the high-levels of Star Sea and, incidentally, talk some sense into them.

But the high-level figures from Star Sea had all run away.

Chen Pingping sighed, "Your injuries are too severe. Stay in the Wuji Sect to heal first!"

The Fairy looked at her own injuries and said coldly, "It’s none of your concern."

"I’m serious," Chen Pingping added.

"I can leave on my own!" She staggered up from the mud pit, trying to leave the area.

WOOF!

Hei leaped forward and, with one sword strike, gravely wounded the Fairy.

Her injuries became even more serious.

It turned around, baring its teeth in a grin.

Good dog!

Chen Pingping held back his laughter, kept a straight face, and earnestly said, "See, your injuries are even more serious now."

The Fairy spat out blood, her whole body shaking with fury, but her injuries were truly severe, and her consciousness began to blur.

A crowd of onlooking cultivators were all utterly bewildered.

Those who were aware of Chen Pingping’s character and his way of "winning people over with virtue," despite having discussed various methods he might use, never expected him to take the most direct approach.

Hmm...

After dealing with the Fairy’s matter, Chen Pingping calmed down again and gazed towards the sky.

Though he was within the Heaven Tao Stone, he could sense the powerful forces above the heavens. Someone had made a move—a Big Shot?

Later, he heard Daoyan’s voice.

His mentor was also there.

Chen Pingping took a deep breath and said with a light chuckle, "Senior, you’ve worked hard."

Yu Changfeng stared intently at him. "Did you fail?"

This was the question everyone cared about.
