Chapter 118 A Single Man and a Single Woman in a Room

After this incident, the Xu Family became unparalleled in Lingyue City, and no force would dare to provoke the Xu Family voluntarily in a short time.

Because of this, the Xu Family could also develop peacefully for a period.

This was also one of the reasons Xu Qingzhou suddenly planned this matter.

Striking one punch hard prevents a hundred from coming.

The most successful part of this event was the killing of two Heavenly Palace Realm Supreme Elders from Tai Xu Sect.

Even the Royal Family of the Three Great Dynasties would feel immense heartache at the loss of two Heavenly Palace Realm powerhouses.

For such success, the cooperation of Wanbao Pavilion was very important.

Without Wanbao Pavilion sending several Heavenly Palace Realm powerhouses to help, although Su Xin and the others were stronger than the Tai Xu Sect Elders, it would have been difficult to forcefully keep them.

Therefore, Xu Qingzhou visited again to thank Yu Shufei.

"This complete victory is largely thanks to Wanbao Pavilion's strong support."

Yu Shufei smiled faintly, "Clan Leader Xu is too polite. This cooperation also allowed our Wanbao Pavilion to earn a lot."

The business of the Lan Family and Danqi Sect in Lingyue City was basically divided up by the Xu Family and Wanbao Pavilion, so Wanbao Pavilion did indeed earn a lot.

However, as a neutral first-rate force, Wanbao Pavilion didn't need or have to intervene for such a small gain.

The reason Yu Shufei agreed to cooperate was still because of Xu Muge and Xu Luo.

Xu Qingzhou asked curiously, "Why did Manager Yu agree to cooperate without hesitation after learning about Xu Muge and Xu Luo?"

At that time, Xu Qingzhou was just trying his luck and didn't expect Yu Shufei to agree so decisively.

"I thought you wouldn't be curious."

Yu Shufei gave a playful smile, full of charm, and then sighed.

"The Three Great Dynasties are a remote small place. My Father learned during his previous travels in the Cang Continent Eastern Region that the Great Era of Strife is approaching, and Heavenly Prodigies and monstrous talents from various forces are emerging."

"I think the two麒麟子 (Kirin Sons) of the Xu Family are precisely that kind of Heavenly Prodigy. You can't find a third one in the entire Three Great Dynasties."

"Although our Wanbao Pavilion has always remained neutral, when necessary, we must be pragmatic and know which side to stand on."

Her words clearly confirmed that her Father was the Pavilion Master of Wanbao Pavilion.

This was inevitable. After all, in Wanbao Pavilion, besides the Pavilion Master, only the Young Pavilion Master was qualified to mobilize Heavenly Palace Realm powerhouses and break Wanbao Pavilion's usual neutral image.

However, she was wrong on one point. Although the Three Great Dynasties cannot find Heavenly Prodigies comparable to Xu Muge and Xu Luo now, they might in the future, as the Xu Family is still continuously producing Heavenly Chosen.

"Great Era of Strife?" Xu Qingzhou was a little surprised. This was indeed the first time he had heard such a term.

Yu Shufei said, "The Xu Family has two such monstrous Heavenly Prodigies, and Clan Leader Xu, this outstanding figure. In the future, you will surely soar ninety thousand miles. Our Wanbao Pavilion is merely getting ahead by clinging to a strong leg."

She was quite direct in her words.

Wanbao Pavilion's willingness to act this time was not at all concerned with those petty gains; they were aiming to build a relationship with the Xu Family.

Xu Qingzhou waved his hand, "Manager Yu flatters me. What kind of outstanding figure am I?"

"Clan Leader Xu is too humble. Devising a plan to mobilize the three first-rate forces of the Great Qi Dynasty, causing one first-rate force and two second-rate forces heavy losses—this kind of remarkable feat is something this concubine feels inferior to," Yu Shufei looked at him, a hint of admiration flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She greatly respected two kinds of people: one type was a powerhouse who was invincible in an era, like Shangguan Zhuo.

The other type was someone with extraordinary strategic wisdom, who treated the powerhouses of various forces as chess pieces and easily eliminated enemies without even making a move himself.

Clearly, in this matter, Xu Qingzhou belonged to the latter.

Xu Qingzhou smiled, "I merely borrowed the situation."

"Alright, Clan Leader Xu, let's not flatter and be humble to each other anymore. I've had food prepared. Would Clan Leader Xu grace me with his presence?" Yu Shufei stood up and said.

Xu Qingzhou replied, "It is my honor."

They went together to the fifth floor of Wanbao Pavilion. This floor was Yu Shufei's private area, where she usually cultivated and rested.

On the table, besides various delicious dishes, there were also drinks of various flavors from the Xu Family Zui Xian Restaurant.

Yu Shufei pointed to the drinks and said, "These drinks of yours have really troubled me."

"Why do you say that?" Xu Qingzhou asked, puzzled.

Yu Shufei's tone carried a hint of resentment, "Ever since I drank the drinks from your Drunken Immortal Pavilion, I can no longer drink any other spirit wines or spirit teas. I have to drink them every day. I even suspect you've added something to them."

"Indeed, something was added," Xu Qingzhou confirmed.

"Ah?" Yu Shufei was startled, standing there, "What was added?"

Xu Qingzhou immediately burst into laughter.

Only then did Yu Shufei realize he was teasing her. She gritted her teeth and glared at him indignantly, her gaze charming, captivating, and full of allure.

After they were seated, they ate and chatted, feeling time pass quickly. Unconsciously, an entire afternoon had gone by.

Yu Shufei glanced outside, "Huh, has it gotten dark already?"

She hadn't felt it at all, thinking they had only chatted for a while.

Xu Qingzhou stood up and said, "It's getting late. I should head back too."

"Are you afraid Immortal Su is waiting anxiously at home?" Yu Shufei rested her hand on her chin, saying with interest, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, sparkling with brilliance, her demeanor even more languid than before.

Xu Qingzhou replied casually, "That's not it. It's mainly because it's dark and windy tonight, and it's not appropriate for us, a man and a woman, to be alone in the same room."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Yu Shufei looked at him with a smile.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingzhou walked directly towards her, his gaze intense.

When he was only a step away, Yu Shufei couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, a flicker of panic flashing in her eyes.

Xu Qingzhou smiled and turned to leave.

Yu Shufei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while also feeling a little disappointed.

…..

Xu Luo often took the Bandit Suppression Squad to train in the Demon Cloud Mountain Range. Occasionally, Xu Muge, who cultivated in Lingyue Sect, would also join them.

Before long, Xu Luo broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm, still slightly later than Xu Muge.

However, he never cared about others' Realms. He just cultivated according to his own plan, step by step, striving to reach the extreme in every Realm and build an incredibly solid Foundation.

As the saying goes, a ten thousand zhang tall building is built from the ground up.

In his previous life, Xu Luo lacked experience and guidance in the Early Stages of cultivation, resulting in an unstable Foundation.

This led to the situation where, even if he had opportunities later and could step into a higher Realm, his potential was limited due to insufficient stamina.

Now that he was reborn, he naturally had to avoid making the same mistakes and strive to reach higher Realms.

"Just Purple Mansion. There's still a long way to go."

Xu Luo didn't show any emotional fluctuations because of his Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm. He closed his eyes and began to consolidate his Realm.

At the same time, a large amount of cultivation was fed back to Xu Qingzhou through the System.
