With Xiao's strength, it would not be impossible for me to forcefully take down Daoist Nun Shenwei.
Even... if I chose to act, Song Chunqiu and the others definitely would not stand idly by.
With Fellow Daoist Wang's wisdom, it was impossible for him not to see this. His sudden intervention at this moment must have had some other purpose.
With that thought flashing through his mind, Xiao Wujian suppressed his aura and chose to watch quietly.
Though Su Shi'er's cultivation realm was inferior to his own, after his repeated displays—and especially after saving his life—Xiao Wujian had already come to regard him as an equal.

Staring intently at Su Shi'er, Daoist Nun Shenwei's first reaction was disbelief.
What trick is this brat playing now?
As she pondered inwardly, Daoist Nun Shenwei grew even more vigilant.

"Since you are willing to relinquish the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, this matter will be easy to resolve. Hand over the Nine Nether Blood Lotus, and this old woman's Nine Nether Ink Book will be yours to command."
After making that righteous declaration, Daoist Nun Shenwei continued, getting straight to the point.
Su Shi'er merely waved his hand. "No rush!"
"Hm? Brat, are you trying to make a fool of this old woman? Or do you think everyone still has time to keep waiting?"
Daoist Nun Shenwei frowned, anger surfacing on her face.
"Senior Shenwei, do not misunderstand. This junior has no other intention. It is simply that the Nine Nether Blood Lotus is special.
