Wenren Lan looked at Ye Xuan, a trace of pleading in her eyes.
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Wenren Yi glanced at Ye Xuan, shaking her head with a smile. “Don’t trouble this young master.”
But Wenren Lan didn’t give up. She looked at Ye Xuan. “If you can save my sister, I’ll agree to anything!”
Ye Xuan was quiet for a moment before saying, “Really?”
Wenren Lan nodded, “Really!”
The middle-aged man beside them watched Ye Xuan, silent.
As someone of his stature, he could tell this young man was far from ordinary.
Facing so many top-tier powerhouses, yet remaining calm and composed, this was no common person.
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and two wooden plaques floated toward the two women. “These are tokens of my Guanxuan Academy. To be honest, I’m the dean of the academy. If you two are willing to join, your problems become my problems. If anyone dares touch my students, I, Ye Xuan, will be the first to object.”
Join the Guanxuan Academy?
Both women were stunned.
Wenren Lan suddenly grabbed one of the plaques. “I’m willing to join the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Are you sure?”
Wenren Lan nodded, “Sure! But only if you can save my sister!”
Ye Xuan nodded, then turned to Wenren Yi. “Miss Yi, what about you?”
Wenren Yi was silent.
Wenren Lan looked at her. “Sis!”
After a moment, Wenren Yi picked up the other plaque. “I’m willing!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “From this moment, you are students of my Guanxuan Academy!”
He turned to Wenren Lan. “Do you know why you couldn’t save your sister?”
Wenren Lan said solemnly, “My strength isn’t enough!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “That’s one reason. The bigger issue is that you lack authority! If you become the leader of the Wenren Clan, who in the clan would dare harm your sister?”
Wenren Lan froze.
The middle-aged man’s face shifted, glancing at Ye Xuan with wariness. Damn, this guy’s no saint!
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Wenren Lan grew thoughtful.
Ye Xuan suddenly turned to the middle-aged man. “How may I address you, senior?”
The man stared at Ye Xuan, silent.
Wenren Lan suddenly said, “Wenren Zong, my uncle, peak Transcendent God Realm! His weakness is his divine soul!”
Wenren Zong’s face darkened instantly.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Senior, I know the Wenren Clan is in a tough spot. How about this: let them follow me, and I’ll bear all the consequences. Consider it giving the sisters a chance. What do you say?”
Wenren Lan turned to Wenren Zong. “Uncle! Help my sister, please?”
Wenren Zong was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, “Girl…”
He turned to Ye Xuan. “Young man, are you sure?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wenren Zong was quiet for a long time before saying, “Let’s go!”
With that, he turned and left.
Soon, the Wenren Clan powerhouses departed.
Only Ye Xuan and the two women remained.
Wenren Yi looked at Ye Xuan. “Young Master, do you know of the Nantian Clan?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Wenren Yi smiled faintly. “You don’t know them, yet you dare say you’ll protect us?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “You’re my students now. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!”
With that, he walked into the distance. “Let’s go!”
Watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, Wenren Yi looked thoughtful.
Wenren Lan stepped beside her, gazing at Ye Xuan. “Sis, if you’re looking for a man, it should be someone like him! Responsible, bold, and full of spirit!”
Wenren Yi smiled faintly, pulling Wenren Lan as they followed.
Behind them, Mu Wen’s trembling voice suddenly called out, “Xiao Yi…”
Without turning back, Wenren Yi said, “I didn’t care about your weakness or your background. I cared about your heart, but in the end, you couldn’t even give me your true heart! Mu Wen, I deeply regret knowing you!”
Hearing her words, Mu Wen stood petrified, like a statue.
Wenren Lan glanced back at Mu Wen, a sneer curling her lips.
Soon, the two women vanished into the distance.
Mu Wen remained rooted in place, like a carved figure.
…
Ye Xuan brought the two women back to the Immortal Treasure Realm.
Seeing his return, Xiao Lan and Fu E, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xuan looked at Fu E. “Have you contacted Miss Qin Guan?”
Fu E gave a wry smile. “No!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly. “Is she doing this on purpose?”
Fu E looked sheepish. This had never happened before. Qin Guan was sometimes busy, but never for this long.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Forget it! Keep trying to reach her!”
With that, he led the two women aside.
Fu E glanced at Wenren Lan and Wenren Yi, curious. “Who are they?”
Xiao Lan blinked, then said, “Why ask so much? Don’t ask, got it?”
With that, he turned and left.
Fu E was stunned. “Why can’t I ask?”
Xiao Lan: “…”
…
Ye Xuan took the two women to his cultivation site in the starry sky, where the three sat facing each other.
Wenren Lan looked at Ye Xuan with curiosity.
Wenren Yi gazed at him calmly, her thoughts unreadable.
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Miss Lan, can you tell me about this realm?”
Wenren Lan nodded. “You’re currently in the Ancient God Realm. Above that is the Ancestral God Realm, and above that is the Transcendent God Realm. I’m at half-step Transcendent God, and my sister is at Ancestral God Realm!”
Transcendent God!
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Who’s the strongest in your Wenren Clan’s younger generation?”
Wenren Lan pointed at herself. “Me!”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Do you have a chance to become clan leader?”
Wenren Lan nodded. “Yes! But to become clan leader, I need to reach peak Transcendent God Realm. That’s incredibly difficult! It requires both opportunity and immense resources!”
She shook her head with a bitter smile. “At least ten billion cosmic veins, and even the Wenren Clan can’t easily produce that. Even if they could, they wouldn’t give it to me now.”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and a storage ring floated to Wenren Lan.
Inside were ten billion cosmic veins!
Seeing the ring, Wenren Lan froze. “You…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Ten billion. Use it for now. If it’s not enough, I’ll find more!”
Wenren Lan stared at him. “For me?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wenren Yi glanced at Ye Xuan, silent.
Wenren Lan fixed her gaze on him. “Why give it to me?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “You’re my student!”
Wenren Lan glared at him. “You think I’m that easy to fool?”
Ye Xuan shrugged. “Then why do you think I’m doing it?”
Wenren Lan said bluntly, “Have you taken a fancy to me?”
“What?” Ye Xuan looked stunned.
Wenren Lan glared again. “If you like me, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush!”
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile. “What’s that little head of yours thinking? I’m giving you money to help you reach Transcendent God Realm, then go back and seize the clan leadership. Once you’re clan leader, I want to open a branch of my academy there. I’ll need your help then. Also, I have plenty of enemies, so you might need to help me fight a few battles… That’s the gist of it!”
Wenren Lan flew into a rage. “Why don’t you like me?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Before Wenren Lan could say more, Wenren Yi pulled her back.
Wenren Yi gave her a look. “What’s with you?”
She turned to Ye Xuan, smiling. “Young Master Ye, is that your ultimate goal?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I want to expand the academy.”
Wenren Yi asked, “What kind of academy? Can you tell me?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Of course!”
He explained his original vision for founding the academy.
After hearing him out, Wenren Lan glanced at Ye Xuan, her expression turning odd.
Wenren Yi’s face grew solemn. After a long silence, she said, “Are you serious?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wenren Yi looked at him. “It’ll be very difficult!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
Wenren Yi stared at him for a long time, then nodded. “I believe in you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Thank you!”
Wenren Lan suddenly said, “Even with money, I can’t reach Transcendent God Realm in a short time!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What else do you need?”
Wenren Lan said solemnly, “Opportunity!”
Ye Xuan suddenly took out the Great Dao Pen and handed it to Wenren Lan. “Take it!”
Wenren Lan hesitated, then asked, “You’re giving it to me?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “I said take it, not give it to you!”
Damn!
This woman was dangerous!
Her shamelessness rivaled his own.
Wenren Lan pouted, then gripped the Great Dao Pen. The next moment, the pen raised her realm to Transcendent God!
Reaching Transcendent God Realm, Wenren Lan froze. “This…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Feel the Transcendent God Realm!”
Wenren Lan closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened them. “I’m done!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Wenren Lan glanced at the Great Dao Pen in her hand, reluctant to let go.
Seeing her reluctance, Ye Xuan quickly said, “You can give it back now!”
Wenren Lan rolled her eyes, then grudgingly returned the pen.
Ye Xuan hurriedly stored it away, then looked at Wenren Lan. “How long will it take you to reach Transcendent God?”
Wenren Lan was silent for a moment, then said, “Ten years!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Ten years?”
Wenren Lan glared at him. “That’s fast!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Small Pagoda appeared. “Go cultivate inside. One day will do!”
Wenren Lan blinked, then entered the pagoda. Moments later, she reappeared before Ye Xuan, looking at him. “Are you giving me this pagoda?”
She was already hugging it, looking ready to claim it!
Ye Xuan: “…”
