"Sister, rest assured. Huang Shang did arrive, but he only confirmed the enemy's situation. He wanted to join the battle, but I forced him to retreat."

"Rest assured my foot!"

Upon receiving Xu Feng's reply, Xu Yue's heart bled.

Murphy's Law never deceives; the things one fears most are exactly what come to pass.

She still held trump cards to deal with Nightingale and Wuque, so she wasn't overly worried—at most, it would just be a matter of how much she lost.

But Huang Shang was a treasure she had only just begun to excavate; if he were gone, he would truly be gone!

However, Xu Yue was not an ordinary person and immediately began to rationalize: "If the third person on the other side went to chase Huang Shang, we are guaranteed to win this battle. Invisibly, we've averted a major crisis and saved that trump card. Not a loss... definitely not a loss..."

Thinking that it wasn't a loss, she subconsciously clutched her chest and rubbed it.

It hurt so much.

As the two sides stood in a standoff, Wuque on the opposite side saw Xu Yue suddenly gritting her teeth and acting strangely, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He knew very well that this woman was extremely difficult to deal with. Seeing her like this, could she be preparing to unleash some ultimate move?

While calling out to his third companion, Tu Xingsun, Wuque tried to stall for time, saying: "Queen, in truth, we have no life-or-death feud. As I said before, will you buy the Bright Jade Art?"

Why did Wuque and Xu Yue come into conflict?

Because of selling a secret manual.

The inspiration for Wuque's codename came from the protagonist of Handsome Siblings, Hua Wuque. He had visited that world twice; the first time he obtained the inheritance, and the second time he tried to contract Yao Yue and Lian Xing, nearly losing his life. Yet, he had the dumb luck to obtain the complete secret manual for the Moving Flower Palace's signature technique, the Bright Jade Art, and converted it into an item card.

He treated it like a precious treasure and, upon returning to the Main God Temple, prepared to sell it at a high price.

This was one of the four great divine arts of the Gu Long world!

As it turned out, he discovered that so-called divine arts of the low-martial level were not popular within the Main God Temple.

Because those who could pull out Reincarnation Points and afford the Bright Jade Art were all Star-level powerhouses.

And the goals of Star-level powerhouses were all two-star, three-star, or even higher.

Thus, the Bright Jade Art found itself in an awkward position.

Even if trained to its peak, the ninth level, it was only at the two-star level.

To go a step further and break through to the tenth or eleventh level—how easy could that be?

With that kind of energy, it would be better to do as Xu Feng did: obtain earlier-stage cultivation methods directly from higher-tier worlds that could be perfectly continued later on.

Just as the Bright Jade Art was hitting wall after wall, Xu Yue had taken an interest in it.

At that time, Xu Yue was not yet a Star-level powerhouse; she had just obtained Elsa's ice magic and had considered cultivating the Bright Jade Art.

Wuque was overjoyed, but Xu Yue couldn't afford it.

A single cultivation manual cost two thousand Reincarnation Points.

Even Star-level Reincarnators would find that price painful.

Wuque was unwilling to lower the price for a quick sale, and after the bargaining failed, Xu Yue naturally gave up on the idea.

But not long after, the siblings Xu Yue and Xu Feng reached the Star-level and rose to fame, so Wuque approached them again to push the manual.

However, by then, Xu Yue no longer wanted it.

The two sides argued, parted on bad terms, and had been at odds ever since.

Now, Wuque was bringing up the old matter again, clearly adopting a stance of forced buying and selling.

Do not think this is incomprehensible; on the contrary, such things happen often.

In the vast majority of the Heavens Consciousness worlds, the Main God Temple does not allow Reincarnators to kill one another.

If one kills another Reincarnator, not only is there no benefit, but one will also face punishment.

But unfortunately, the more something is forbidden, the more people tend to flock toward it.

Where there is a policy, there is a countermeasure.

Who doesn't know a few dirty tricks?

The most common ones are twofold:

First, lure plot characters into killing the Reincarnator to seize the target's belongings;

Second, forced buying and selling—defeat the opponent and exchange a low-value item for a large amount of Reincarnation Points, a legalized form of robbery.

At this moment, Wuque's expression was very sincere: "I am being sincere. One thousand five hundred Reincarnation Points, and you take the Bright Jade Art. Consider the price difference my apology. If you run into any trouble with your main mission in this world, we can also lend a hand. How about it?"

"One thousand five hundred points, that is indeed not much."

Xu Yue's eyes shifted as she appeared to be thinking.

In all fairness, this price was not high.

But Wuque had no sincerity at all.

The superficial forced buying and selling was merely to paralyze them while waiting for his third partner to get into position.

Xu Yue, however, played along: "I don't have that many Reincarnation Points right now, but we can sign a contract first."

Wu Que nodded: "Fine!"

The atmosphere eased instantly. Xu Yue drifted forward, star patterns rising in her palms as the text of a contract manifested.

Wu Que breathed a sigh of relief and also stepped forward.

Yet, just as his star patterns emerged, Xu Feng suddenly lunged forward. His fist, righteous and masculine like a pure yang sun, struck out directly. Xu Yue's sleeves billowed, a torrent of snowflakes surged across the sky, and her phoenix eyes revealed an unprecedented ferocity.

"Quick! Beat them back and go after Huang Shang!"

On the other side, Huang Shang held his pen and walked rapidly outward, the sound of explosions rumbling behind him.

A real man never looks back at explosions.

He had to give credit to Xu Feng's method of planting bombs.

Facts proved that many people were not stupid; they were just accustomed to not using their brains.

Reincarnators, in particular, preferred to act rather than talk.

But even a fool may have a flash of insight; smart people who think they can look down on others often find their plans ruined by the "stupid" ones.

Those who fancy themselves as cunning as demons, calculating every move and playing others in the palm of their hands, never end well.

Xu Feng had quick wit, and Xu Yue even more so.

Huang Shang was truly afraid of being exposed by them.

He had good self-awareness.

Even having inherited the memories of Huang Shang and integrated deeply into this world, a modern person was, after all, a modern person.

In the trivial details of daily life, certain differences from the ancients would inevitably be revealed.

Xu Yue might not notice it for a while, but if she kept observing him in the shadows, there would eventually be a slip-up.

Therefore, after Xu Yue was trapped, Huang Shang thought for a moment and followed Xu Feng into the Worry-Free Cave.

The opportunity had arrived.

Helping others was helping himself; if successful, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

Now, as Huang Shang walked quickly toward the exit, his brow suddenly twitched, and a strange sensation washed over him.

Have they really caught up?

Huang Shang was secretly overjoyed.

When he had killed the three beggars earlier, his Literary Qi had vaguely sensed an extremely faint fluctuation.

It seemed to come from beneath his feet, or perhaps it was just his imagination.

He couldn't be sure.

His cultivation had only just begun; if he could clearly grasp an enemy's movements, that wouldn't be impressive—it would almost certainly be a trap.

But now, the opponent made almost no attempt to hide, and a gust of wind suddenly whipped up from behind him.

Huang Shang spun around rapidly, his Zhuge Pen swishing out two characters—the Great Power Hexagram—as he struck forward.

But this time, the Literary Qi attack missed completely. The space ahead was empty. Ten paces away, a short figure burrowed out of the dirt. Small, rat-like eyes darted around, and the figure clicked his tongue in wonder: "It really is a path of cultivation based on literary talent. The Queen and the Prince have truly invested heavily!"

Huang Shang thought to himself that the man had a sharp eye. He turned again, looking at the dirt with a shocked expression: "Who are you?"

The Reincarnator did not answer, instead dancing about and shouting: "Haha! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
