What Do You Think of Si Miaoyin?

Under the watchful eyes of the many people from the Demon Slayer Division, Li Xuanxiao also took a seat at the discussion table.

In their eyes, Li Xuanxiao now fully possessed the qualifications to sit on equal footing with them.

A Miaojing martial artist was already considered a powerhouse even across the entire Great Yu Dynasty.

A figure like that would never be overlooked wherever he went.

Even if he left the Great Yu Dynasty, countless human nations would be willing to welcome him with open arms.

Li Xuanxiao felt somewhat awkward. He did not like crowded occasions, and he was especially resistant to settings this solemn and serious.

He had always done his utmost to avoid such formal meetings, yet now he had no choice but to remain here.

Everyone before him was an important figure in the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division.

Even Si Yiwu, the commanding general and highest-ranking military official of Pei Province, was present. Li Xuanxiao truly had no excuse to slip away.

He could only bite the bullet and sit down, listening as they continued discussing Pei Province's current situation.

At the discussion table, several hall masters who had originally been furrowing their brows now gradually relaxed.

Yang Zhiru also regained his usual calm composure.

The commanding general's square face, which had always been cold and stern, softened considerably.

A Miaojing martial artist able to move freely could provide aid far exceeding that of hundreds or thousands beneath the Miaojing Realm!

Though many Profound Realm and Apex Realm martial artists of the Demon Slayer Division had now been dispatched to guard the various cities of Pei Province—

What they could accomplish at most concerned the gains and losses of a single city or stronghold.

From a broader perspective, the role they could play was actually negligible.

But Li Xuanxiao was different. If this demonic disturbance were compared to a war, then he was someone who could truly change the course of that war.

Discussion continued endlessly around the table. The hall masters shed their previous gloom and all spoke eagerly, making the atmosphere extremely lively.

Yet Li Xuanxiao was listening until he grew drowsy. Right now, all he wanted was to quickly exchange his Contribution Points for more cultivation techniques and martial arts.

As well as better divine weapons and sharp blades, and more spirit pills and wondrous medicines.

One hundred and eight Profound Realm Demon Kings, eight hundred and seventy-five Apex Realm Great Demons...

That should exchange for quite a few Contribution Points, right?

He wondered whether he could trade with the commanding general or Deputy General Yang for Miaojing cultivation techniques and martial arts.

The Patrol Hall Master had said before that within the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division, only the commanding general and Deputy General Yang cultivated Miaojing techniques.

Since they could cultivate Miaojing techniques, there was a good chance they also possessed Miaojing martial arts!

If he could get his hands on one, his combat strength would soar directly into the heavens!

A look of anticipation appeared on Li Xuanxiao's face, but it soon faded as worry slowly surfaced.

Damn it, Miaojing cultivation techniques and martial arts are great, but the Demon Points needed to raise them by a single realm are no small amount either!

Just getting started required at least three thousand. Even seven thousand was not enough to raise it to Lesser Mastery.

And after Lesser Mastery came Greater Mastery, after Greater Mastery came Perfection, and after Perfection came the Sublimity Realm...

Li Xuanxiao's vision went dark. He did not even dare think about how many Demon Points that would require.

Killing one Profound Realm Demon King only granted several hundred Demon Points. Just to get started, he would need to kill several of them, perhaps even over ten!

That did not sound like much? The problem was, where was he supposed to find that many Profound Realm Demon Kings to kill?

Over this past month or so, he had covered quite a large area.

But even with the help of the My Buddha Illuminates Seal, which allowed him to immediately see where demons and monsters were hiding—

He could only find an average of two or three a day. At that rate of accumulation, how long would it take to raise Miaojing cultivation techniques and martial arts to the Sublimity Realm?

It seemed the idea of accumulating Demon Points by killing Profound Realm demons could no longer keep up with his current needs...

Li Xuanxiao pondered inwardly. Then... should he try killing a few demon emperors?

A Profound Realm Demon King could yield several hundred Demon Points. A Miaojing demon emperor should give at least a thousand, shouldn't it?

That would increase the accumulation speed nearly tenfold! It would be just enough to meet the consumption of Miaojing techniques!

While Li Xuanxiao's mind wandered beyond the clouds, time passed quickly, and the discussion finally came to an end.

After weighing every factor, the commanding general made the final decision with a single hammer blow!

The final plan was to send Li Xuanxiao out, likewise adopting a method of unpredictable combat.

You fight your way, I fight mine—we seize back our own initiative.

They would never clash with the enemy at the time, place, and in the manner the enemy expected.

Secondly, they would use flexible maneuvering and combat to draw in the enemy, restrain the enemy, and steer the entire war onto a track favorable to themselves.

Following their own rhythm and methods, they would engage the enemy with complete initiative.

Once the plan was settled, everyone let out a breath of relief. The boulder weighing upon their hearts finally showed the possibility of being pried loose.

Now it depended on just how far Li Xuanxiao could go.

The meeting ended, and everyone departed one after another.

Li Xuanxiao let out a soft breath. It was finally over. My legs are numb from sitting!

He likewise rose to leave, only to be stopped by Si Yiwu.

"Kid, what do you think of my niece, Si Miaoyin?"

Straight to the point!

"Huh!?"

What do I think? I look at her while standing, obviously.

Li Xuanxiao froze. He had considered many things the commanding general might say after keeping him behind.

For example, he might ask how Li Xuanxiao had reached the Miaojing Realm in such a short time. Or he might explain other details of the plan...

Yet he never could have imagined that this was what he would ask!

Li Xuanxiao scratched his head. "Uh... Lady Miaoyin is naturally a very talented martial artist, and she has also taken quite good care of me..."

Si Yiwu raised a brow.

Why did the words "very talented" sound so much like mockery coming from this brat?

"You know that isn't what I'm asking..."

Si Yiwu silently watched Li Xuanxiao. "I'm asking what you think of Si Miaoyin in terms of men and women."

"I have never seen that girl care so much about someone of the opposite sex."

"Before leaving, she even specifically instructed me to look after you well and properly cultivate you..."

That happened? This little lady... nice!

Li Xuanxiao scratched his head. "I truly haven't considered that aspect."

"Lady Miaoyin is young and beautiful, exceptionally gifted in martial arts, and born into a martial arts family in the royal city. I imagine she does not lack suitors."

"And I am merely a country bumpkin from some small place. I have never thought of developing any deeper relationship with Lady Miaoyin."

Si Yiwu chuckled. "You need not worry about that. Your talent ensures that you will not be an ordinary person. Right now, I only want to know your true thoughts about her."

Li Xuanxiao pondered briefly.

Young, beautiful, extraordinarily talented in martial arts, and from an illustrious family.

What man could refuse a woman like that?

Meet a good woman, build a family first.

Meet a benefactor, establish a career first.

Meet a rich woman, build a family and establish a career!

Meet Si Miaoyin...

Li Xuanxiao sat up straight. "I'm not afraid of becoming a laughingstock before you, Commander. Since I was young, my dream has been to be kept by a rich woman, eating soft rice until it smelled sweet..."
