Chapter 80 Behind the Scenes
Pei Yao's men were all killed by Pei Jiang in his rage, and Pei Yao's base was eventually destroyed by Pei Yongjie and his men, turning it into ruins.
What the leading cultivator didn't say was that those cursed people didn't die because they were used for experiments, but were all killed by Pei Yao's subordinates to prevent the matter from being exposed.
The seventh-tier demon beast is still imprisoned in that secret room. After Pei Jiang returns to the family and tells Pei Jingshan everything, they will then make a plan regarding the seventh-tier demon beast.
Everyone boarded the Pei family's flying boat, preparing to leave and return to the Pei family headquarters in Chang'an City.
In the guest room, Ren Jixing grabbed Zhang Yunling's arm, and the two sat together on the edge of the bed. She anxiously pulled open Zhang Yunling's clothes and asked, "You actually managed to withstand that powerful attack for Pei Jiang. Let your senior brother check how badly you are injured?"
Hearing Ren Jixing, who was actually a woman, still call herself her senior brother, Zhang Yunling felt extremely awkward. He grasped Ren Jixing's fair and delicate hands and shook his head slightly, saying:
“Senior sister, you are a woman now, so don’t call yourself senior brother anymore, it will expose your identity. Besides, I had my reasons for shielding that Pei family elder from the attack.”
"There's one more thing. You've been wearing this Quanzhen Taoist robe the whole time. A slight breeze can easily reveal your sexy figure. You should change into something more appropriate."
Zhang Yunling took out a black outfit and a white undershirt from her storage bag and walked outside to avoid the situation, but Ren Jixing grabbed her arm: "Hey, wait a minute, where are you going?"
Zhang Yunling asked in surprise, "Of course I'll wait outside for you to change before coming in, otherwise why would I go?"
Ren Jixing laughed heartily, telling her junior brother to stay there without worry. Then, right in front of Zhang Yunling, she took off her robes from head to toe, standing naked in front of him, and began to change her clothes.
Although it is unknown what Ren Jixing is thinking, Zhang Yunling's two lifetimes combined are only a little over forty years. Compared with ordinary cultivators who can cultivate for decades or even hundreds of years, he is still very young.
Moreover, Zhang Yunling spends most of his time reading and practicing cultivation, so his understanding of women is quite vague.
The most basic common sense about the differences between men and women was learned from a few erotic books he found at home.
Right now, his senior sister is still treating him like a buddy, just like before, and she's exposing her hot body to Zhang Yunling, which makes the naive boy blush and feel restless.
Originally, Zhang Yunling thought that even though they were once brothers who had shared life and death, now that his brother had become a girl and was even dragging him to watch her change clothes, he had to uphold his moral bottom line and absolutely could not watch. So he simply turned around, ran to the wall, and stared intently at it, waiting for his senior sister to finish dressing.
Seeing his junior brother's childish reaction, Ren Jixing slowly changed his clothes, walked to Zhang Yunling's side, and pulled him back onto the bed.
Ren Jixing raised her delicate eyebrows, crossed her arms, and chuckled lightly, pouting her red lips: "Hmph, junior brother, you're not that old, why do you act like an old man every day? Always spouting platitudes and talking about not being interested in women, sigh... it's really a torment for you..."
Zhang Yunling rolled his eyes at her, but did not refute her. Instead, he took out an item from his storage bag. It was the wooden box that he had snatched from a squad leader of the Thief Heaven Sect when he followed the Pei family army to capture the Thief Heaven Sect!
At this moment, half of the seal that had been placed on the wooden box had broken, but some residual seals remained unbroken, still preventing Zhang Yunling from obtaining the treasures inside.
"Look, this wooden box is what I got when I was chasing the bandits. I only found this wooden box in his storage bag, but the so-called incomplete inheritance map was not in the squad leader's storage bag. Instead, it was taken by the Pei family. It's a bit of a pity."
As Ren Jixing tied up his dark brown hair with a thin rope, he asked in confusion, "You not only retrieved the Spirit Summoning Bracelet, but you also obtained this treasure? But what does that mean?"
Zhang Yunling spread his divine sense to envelop the entire room, preventing outsiders from eavesdropping and exposing their actions inside.
He then pressed the wooden box against his chest and said in a deep voice, "This wooden box is sealed, and it takes a strike from a Nascent Soul Realm expert to break it."
"Given my incredible speed and reflexes, I was able to block the attack for Pei Jiang in time. My purpose in doing so was to make Pei Jiang owe me a favor."
"That way, when I return to the Pei family later, I can use the three merits of eliminating Pei Yao, protecting Pei Jiang, and recovering the incomplete inheritance map for the Pei family to gain their favor."
Seeing Ren Jixing's pale face and silence, Zhang Yunling smiled slightly and continued, "However, the attack of that demonic beast was indeed very powerful. I only have the cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Although I could withstand it, I would definitely be seriously injured."
"However, I immediately realized that the Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm, and the wooden box I obtained just happened to require a Nascent Soul Realm strike to break it, which just led to this heroic act of sacrificing myself to protect the elder."
"The conclusion that the beast was weak was also because the seal was only half broken. If a ferocious beast had been captured and imprisoned for a long time by human cultivators who were much weaker than itself, any attack it launched would have been with all its might."
"But the dragon only launched one attack, and even when we got close to it, it didn't launch any more attacks. Moreover, its attack only broke half of the seal on my wooden box, which proves that the beast was extremely weak and on the verge of death."
"So what we need to do next is to find an opportunity to kill that seventh-tier demonic beast after leaving the Pei family, and obtain the opportunity without leaving any trace."
Seeing Zhang Yunling's increasingly cold expression, Ren Jixing's pupils trembled. She never expected that her junior brother, who usually seemed taciturn and expressionless, would actually have such a deep and shrewd mind. His meticulous thinking made her, his senior sister, feel a chill down her spine.
With some reservations, Ren Jixing quietly asked, "Our Quanzhen Sect and the Pei family have been friends for generations. Doing this... Senior Sister, you seem a little hesitant..."
Zhang Yunling glanced at Ren Jixing, and the resolute look in his eyes gave him the answer: As a cultivator, if you don't even dare to use such methods, how can you survive in the ruthless world of cultivation? With such indecisiveness, when will you ever be able to ascend to the position of a strongman?
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock at the door. Zhang Yunling immediately withdrew his divine sense and quickly went to open the door. Unexpectedly, it was Pei Jiang, the eldest elder of the Pei family.
"Elder Pei? What brings you here? Please come inside and have a seat!" Zhang Yunling's previously cold expression had long since transformed into a beaming smile as he welcomed Pei Jiang into the house.
Pei Jiang nodded, a kind smile on his old face. As soon as he sat down in the chair, he took out two pills from his storage bag, both of which were fourth-grade healing pills.
"Young friend Yun Ling was seriously injured while saving me, how could I forget? These two pills will help you recover quickly, please accept them."
Pei Jiang stuffed two healing pills into Zhang Yunling's hand and patted him on the shoulder with great appreciation.
Zhang Yunling didn't stand on ceremony. He didn't have much time to refine pills anyway, and accepting these two fourth-grade pills wouldn't affect his later requests for favors from the Pei family, so he just took them.
Ren Jixing also came out and sat down next to Pei Jiang. The three of them chatted happily and further strengthened their relationship with this elder of the Pei family.
The Pei family's flying boat will return to Chang'an City in a few days, and Zhang Yunling's plans are beginning to be implemented slowly. He is also paving the way to becoming a powerful figure little by little.
