Bai Zijing, the Second Young Master
They walked outside the hall.
Luo Lingshuang looked at Zhang Xuanchen, who seemed to be lost in thought, and smiled:
"Xuan Chen, are you still thinking about that Paper Magic Tool?"
After speaking, she looked at Zhang Xuanchen with a half-smile. She had noticed the longing in his eyes when he saw the Paper Magic Tool.
Hearing Luo Lingshuang's question, Zhang Xuanchen had nothing to hide and admitted it.
He said directly, "I am indeed quite interested in that Law Artifact."
If we had that kind of Law Artifact, handling clan affairs would be much easier.
If it could even develop Artifact Spirit, then it could do all the work itself, loyal and reliable, and you could use it with complete peace of mind.
As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen's eyes gleamed, as if he could see a tireless ox or horse, no, a hardworking assistant who would help him with clan affairs.
"I learned from my Seventh Aunt-Grandmother and the others that you, as the Clan Leader, are just a figurehead. You went into seclusion as soon as you took office."
Two years have passed, and you've escaped.
"I guess the Lineage affairs have fallen to Uncle Zhan again."
"Haha..." Zhang Xuanchen scratched the back of his head and said:
"Nonsense, that's all nonsense. Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about what materials are needed for those Paper Magic Tool, and who can make them?"
Did you know this?
He has indeed failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a Clan Leader in the past two years. After outlining the direction of reform for the Lineage, he went into seclusion.
I came straight here after clearing customs.
I didn't even participate in the Spirit Testing Conference, so I don't know how many new Immortal Seedling my Lineage will gain this time.
It would be wonderful if another genius with Dual Spirit Root could emerge.
Once this is over, I must make sure my father doesn't continue like this when I get back.
He should spend more time with his mother.
Who knows, maybe I can even have a younger brother or sister with Dual Spirit Root or even single Spirit Roots.
Seeing that Zhang Xuanchen had changed the subject, Luo Lingshuang did not continue the previous topic and replied:
"That Law Artifact is called Mysterious Light Spirit Paper. It is a Third Stage low-level magical Law Artifact. The craftsman was Elder Gao Yuan of the sect's Artifact Refining Hall, a Third-grade Top-tier weapon crafting master."
The cost of making the move was not low.
As for the refining materials, I don't know, but I can ask you when I have the chance to return to the sect."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen patted his chest a few times and said seriously, "Ling Shuang, I won't say thank you."
Everything is in my heart.
After chatting with Luo Lingshuang for a while, I asked for a map of Daojian Immortal City and the surrounding area, and then headed towards the Mission Hall.
His main objective for this trip was to kill the Evil Cultivator and obtain their Golden Core Pill.
Luo Lingshuang returned to her own residence instead of going with Zhang Xuanchen.
Inside a beautiful little courtyard.
Two exceptionally handsome young men, dressed in long robes, were playing chess under a thick, weeping willow tree.
The young man in white robes placed a piece on the board and chuckled softly.
"Hahaha, Brother Xia, you've lost."
Looking at the lost chessboard on the white jade table, Xia Xiangtian was extremely angry, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent. "You good-for- Zijing, you've won five games in a row!"
They really didn't give me any face at all!
Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles of the Nine Splendor Sword Sect, you are the only one among the younger generation who dares to show me such disrespect.
Sensing the anger in the other person's tone, Bai Zijing showed no sign of fear.
"Brother Xia, if I really let you win, even if you do, will you be happy?"
"Of course not." Xia Xiangtian shook his head decisively.
He is the second-ranked Genius Ranking, possessing both Thunder-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, and a peerless genius who broke through to the Foundation Establishment Peak before the age of forty.
A loss is a loss, and a win is a win.
To not use one's full strength is an insult to one's opponent.
"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore anyway, I've never won against you at chess."
Brother Zijing, do you think I can surpass Zhou Tianjian and succeed him as Sect Leader?
Bai Zijing works at Horizon Restaurant. Although he is young, he holds a high position within the Horizon Restaurant.
Wherever he went, he was treated with utmost respect by the owner of the local Horizon Restaurant.
They respectfully addressed him as the Second Young Master.
Upon hearing Xia Xiangtian's question, Bai Zijing shook the feather fan in his hand and said:
"There's a chance, but not a big one, and I can sense that the chance is constantly shrinking."
Bang!
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiangtian instantly flew into a rage. His palm crackled with lightning as he smashed the jade table in front of him to pieces!
"Why! Is it because of Luo Lingshuang? Or Zhou Tianjian?"
He endured nearly six years of hardship in order to seize the position of Sect Leader!
Two and a half years ago, he had been in seclusion, working hard to improve his strength.
Sit back and watch the tigers fight.
He waits until Luo Lingshuang and Zhou Tianjian are both severely injured in their battle, then he can finish them off and seize the position of Sect Leader in one fell swoop.
But two and a half years ago, after Zhou Tianjian came out of that Sky Dragon Secret Realm, his attitude towards Luo Lingshuang changed.
The hostility turned into ingratiation and flattery.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer; if he continued to wait, he would only drift further and further away from the position of Sect Leader.
So he chose to leave seclusion and establish his own power within the sect.
Amidst this chaotic situation, a struggle ensues for the position of Sect Leader.
Bai Zijing looked at Xia Xiangtian, whose face was full of anger, and felt a pang of disappointment.
He sighed and said, "I've told you many times already, Luo Lingshuang won't compete with you for the position of Sect Leader."
Don't be so hostile towards her; you can see how Zhou Tianjian treats her.
If you still want to compete for the position of Sect Leader, then learn from him.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiangtian frowned and questioned:
"You mean I should fawn over Luo Lingshuang like Zhou Tianjian did?"
Impossible!
If flattering and fawning over her would benefit my plot to seize the position of Sect Leader, wouldn't it be better to just make her my woman?
Whether it's her looks, figure, or talent and strength, Luo Lingshuang is among the top in the Nine Splendor Sword Sect.
Even the still charming and voluptuous Sect Leader's wife couldn't compare.
How could Xia Xiangtian not have any ideas?
A lewd glint appeared on his face.
Bai Zijing was startled!
He advised:
"Brother Xia, you absolutely mustn't make a move on her. There's absolutely no possibility between you two. Making a move on her will only make you..."
"Give me what?"
Before Bai Zijing could finish speaking, Xia Xiangtian interrupted him.
"What you just said was basically telling me to get close to Luo Lingshuang, right? Wouldn't it be even more perfect if I made her my woman?"
As for "impossible," well, once the deed is done, it will become possible.
I'd love to try this amazing stuff!
Hahaha."
Looking at Xia Xiangtian laughing wildly, Bai Zijing was filled with disappointment.
I had previously heard that he came from a poor family but had exceptional talent.
Instead of vying for power and profit, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, which led him to develop the desire to make friends.
So I came here two and a half years ago.
Back then, Xia Xiangtian wasn't like this. He was dashing and heroic, with amazing luck. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely become Nascent Soul in the future.
As time went by, he gradually realized that everything before was just Xia Xiangtian's disguise.
This time, he misjudged.
Brother Xia, why are you so eager for the position of Sect Leader?
With your talent and luck, if you are not hindered by these things, it is not impossible for you to enter the Central Land Immortal Continent in the future and become a powerful figure.
But you...
