Snow Cicada stiffened, awkwardly locking her gaze behind Wei Chen.
At that moment, she was wearing a white gown with golden accents that she thought was too revealing. The large expanse of her snow-white skin was exposed, and the tightly cinched waist highlighted her perfect figure, making her look stunning and captivating.
Elegant’s anger was not without reason; Wei Chen had rejected her attempts to matchmake for her sister Qingling, yet he brought along a tall woman who clearly had experience in such matters. How could Elegant not be furious?
Compared to Snow Cicada, Elegant was equally impressive, even exuding a more mature and voluptuous beauty. Beside her, Qingling wore a pale, sickly expression. Though she also had a good figure, it leaned more towards delicate and petite, which paled in comparison to Snow Cicada.
Qingling’s face darkened, and her gaze dimmed as well.
Wei Chen opened his mouth, secretly smiling bitterly: “Perhaps bringing Snow Cicada here wasn’t the best choice.”
“Wei Young Master, where have you been? As a guest of Dingsheng Trading Company, you’re not at headquarters. If there’s a task for you, we can’t find you. Have you been bewitched by this woman?”
Elegant sneered, her eyes glaring at Snow Cicada behind Wei Chen.
After all, Snow Cicada was new to this "world." She felt intimidated by the renowned Elegant from Dingsheng Trading Company. All she could do was look pitiful and somewhat wronged.
When alone with Wei Chen, facing his flirtatious gaze, she had the courage to take the initiative and flatter him, doing whatever he asked. Women from The Extreme North. were quite open-minded in this regard and not overly shy.
But in front of the Boss of Dingsheng Trading Company, she lost her nerve. The fragility of a woman was evident on her face.
Wei Chen remained silent. Seeing Snow Cicada’s expression, Elegant felt quite helpless. When women argued, she would have preferred if Snow Cicada fought back a little to give her an opportunity to retaliate. But with Snow Cicada showing weakness, what could she do?
With a deep sigh, Elegant glanced at Qingling beside her and softly comforted, “Qingling, what do you think?”
“It’s nothing; it’s Wei Young Master’s freedom. Sister, I’ll head back first.”
Without even looking at Wei Chen, Qingling cast a glance at Snow Cicada, feeling a sense of defeat as she walked away.
Elegant did not leave.
She came to find Wei Chen, and it was not simply to mock his flirtatious nature.
Qingling had left, and Elegant was no longer interested in Wei Chen's romantic escapades; such matters could not be forced. She thought to herself, "Fate is something that either exists or it doesn't. Wasn't I the same back then?"
"Sister Qingya, do you have anything else to discuss?"
Seeing Elegant lingering, Wei Chen asked.
"Where have you been recently?" As Wei Chen's superior, it was reasonable for Elegant to ask this.
Wei Chen replied, "I went to The Extreme North, where I obtained a Spiritual Wisdom Realm Martial Soul."
"You've broken through to the Spirit Wisdom Realm?" Elegant looked at Wei Chen in astonishment. How could this oddity achieve such a feat? Was it really that easy to condense a Spiritual Wisdom Realm Martial Soul?
Wei Chen nodded.
"No wonder I couldn't sense your Soul Power Realm. You've actually reached the Spirit Wisdom Realm... My Soul Power Realm is inferior to yours. I truly don't know how you managed it; your improvement in Soul Power Realm is unimaginable." Elegant genuinely admired him.
Wei Chen shrugged and smiled, "It's alright. I didn't die at the hands of the black robe. The saying 'surviving a great disaster brings future blessings' applies here."
After a pause, a hint of sarcasm crossed Wei Chen's face as he continued, "The black robe turned out to be an insider sent by the Soul Palace. Sister Qingya, your management isn't very effective! How could someone like that become a guest elder of the Dingsheng Trading Company?"
Elegant was speechless; the situation with the black robe was indeed unexpected.
"Elder Di has already dealt with it. That incident was my oversight, but thankfully you are unharmed. I asked Elder Di to rescue you, which exposed him. Now, there are turbulent undercurrents in Ling City. It won't be long before a full-scale battle erupts. What are your plans?" Elegant asked directly; this was her true purpose for seeking out Wei Chen.
"I have no particular plans. If someone from the Soul Palace appears, I will do my best to eliminate them. My only goal is the Soul Palace," Wei Chen said.
"Heh, just the Soul Palace? What about Mu Qingyan from the Ancient Spirit Academy and the Mu Family? How will you deal with her?" Elegant asked, narrowing her eyes.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment, his expression complex as he shook his head. He truly did not know what to do.
"Let's speak privately; some things are better kept from too many people."
Elegant glanced at Snow Cicada behind Wei Chen and spoke coldly.
"Snow Cicada is my woman; she knows everything about me. There's nothing to hide," Wei Chen replied, gripping Snow Cicada's hand tightly. In moments like this, a man must stand firm and declare his stance.
Wei Chen's respect for Snow Cicada was evident to Elegant.
After a moment of hesitation, Elegant nodded, disregarding Snow Cicada. She pushed aside a chair and sat down in Wei Chen's room, her face showing signs of distress.
"Wei Chen, to be honest, Qingling's illness was caused by the Mu Family. Qingling had great potential in her cultivation, but the Mu Family severely injured her when she was young, preventing her from continuing her training and leaving her with a difficult-to-treat ailment. The enmity between Dingsheng Trading Company and the Mu Family can be traced back hundreds of years. We cannot judge the actions of our predecessors, but I cannot let Qingling's grudge go unavenged."
"You know Elder Di's strength; in Ling City, he has almost no rivals. Our plan is to take revenge and then leave the Ling Sheng Dynasty for good. I came to ask your thoughts: where do you stand in the conflict between Dingsheng Trading Company and the Mu Family?"
Elegant's expression was extremely serious now, her eyes devoid of any flirtation as she fixed her gaze on Wei Chen.
"Are you planning to kill the entire Mu Family? When will this cycle of vengeance end? Why must you go to such extremes? Besides, isn't the Mu Family strong as well?" Wei Chen replied calmly.
"The entire Mu Family is not my target. I want to kill those responsible: Mu Shengfeng who struck first, Mu Hua who hired the Sand Wolf Gang, and the head of the Mu Family, Mu Ba. They are my primary targets. We have no interest in anyone else," Elegant stated.
"Then feel free; I won't take sides. Just don't harm Mu Qingyan or my friends Musa and Mu Yang."
"Blades have no eyes, and I cannot guarantee anything. The Soul Palace will inevitably intervene against the Ancient Spirit Academy. They are constantly fighting in the Eastern Wasteland, and the Soul Palace will not miss this opportunity. If you want to find your sister, you can ask the Soul Palace for her when the time comes. But with your current strength, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Elegant scrutinized Wei Chen, hoping to see panic or difficulty in his eyes. To her disappointment, Wei Chen's gaze was extremely calm, as if he hadn't heard her words at all.
"My strength is indeed insufficient, but once the people from the Soul Palace emerge, anyone below the Earth Soul Realm will perish." A cold smile crept onto Wei Chen's lips as he thought to himself, "Ni Junlin should also come out now. This crisis must rely on her help. For every major breakthrough she makes, she can answer me one question. This time, my question won't be so easy to answer."
Elegant's eyes widened in surprise; she thought he didn't seem to be putting on an act. Could it be that he had a hidden card?
"Alright then, let me tell you this: once the Soul Palace takes action, it will definitely lead to mutual destruction with the Ancient Spirit Academy. The factions will come out to pick up the pieces, and the royal family won't remain idle either. Rumor has it that Ling Jueyun is still at the ninth level of the Human Soul Realm, but in reality, he broke through to the first level of the Earth Soul Realm four years ago and is likely at the second level now. With Ling City in chaos, he won't sit idly by. Within the royal family, both the Crown Prince and the Fourteenth Prince won't miss this opportunity; they have many capable subordinates."
"None of this concerns me." Wei Chen rolled his eyes; he only wanted to find Weirou and had no interest in the struggles among Ling City's major forces.
Elegant sneered coldly and said, "When that time comes, Elder Wu will hunt you down. Once you appear, there will be no good outcome for you."
"That old thief! If he dares to go after me again, I'll just kill him."
"Let me tell you one more thing: behind the Fourteenth Prince is a powerful ally—Peach Blossom Island."
"Peach Blossom Island?"
Wei Chen exclaimed in shock, "How did Peach Blossom Island get involved? If they take action, who could possibly stand against them?"
"The strength of the Peach Blossom Island Master is comparable to Elder Di's, but they have five experts at the Earth Soul Realm. Once they emerge, the Fourteenth Prince will hold an absolute advantage. However, they may not necessarily come out; it depends on whether the Fourteenth Prince can defeat the successor of the previous Peach Blossom Island Master."
"The previous Peach Blossom Island Master? Who was that?"
Wei Chen felt a chill run down his spine as he vaguely sensed that this matter seemed to circle back to him. Wasn't the task assigned by that old man in the Snowfield precisely to defeat a powerful disciple from Peach Blossom Island?
"The previous Island Master of Peach Blossom Island was named Han Mang. Later, something happened that caused him to fall out with his second-in-command, Mr. Mo. He left Peach Blossom Island and agreed to cultivate a personal disciple for a duel. I just received news that Han Mang has challenged Mr. Mo, and his disciple will soon arrive in Ling City to duel with Mighty’s disciple, who is the Fourteenth Prince. To motivate the Fourteenth Prince, Mr. Mo has stated that if he wins, Peach Blossom Island will lend its support; if he loses, he will be expelled from Peach Blossom Island," Elegant explained.
Wei Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself—this was about him! He felt confident about dueling Ling Cong, but this meant he would be at odds with both the royal family and Peach Blossom Island.
"Why do I always end up with these messy situations? All the dirty work falls on me."
Wei Chen cursed inwardly and asked aloud, "Where will the Fourteenth Prince duel with that guy? I have to go see it!"
"Mr. Mo will personally come to Ling City. He wants to settle that grudge in front of the strong in Ling City. If the Fourteenth Prince wins, it will bring him glory. Given that the Fourteenth Prince has inherited the legacy of Peach Blossom Island, he shouldn't lose. The duel's location has been agreed upon; it will take place at the Ancient Spirit Academy's Arena."
Wei Chen nodded. "I definitely need to see this; it's the highest-level confrontation among the younger generation of the Ling Sheng Dynasty, right?"
"Definitely not. With you here, who can be considered the highest level when you can even kill Pinnacle of Spiritual Wisdom?" Elegant shot Wei Chen a disapproving glance before taking her leave. She had come to ask Wei Chen about his views on the Mu Family. Seeing Wei Chen's indifferent attitude reassured her.
What Elegant herself didn't understand was why she needed to discuss such matters with Wei Chen.
Late at night, Wei Chen held the overly exhausted Snow Cicada, who had just fallen into a deep sleep. His hand played with her delicate and firm curves while his mind kept calculating the chain of battles that would soon erupt due to Elder Di's confrontation with the Mu Family.
A cold voice suddenly pierced through his ears, causing a painful ringing in his head.
"Wei Chen, get out here!"
