Chapter 1043 - The Arrival of Mo Qingtian (1/2)

A woman’s words could be taken lightly sometimes and you could let it enter one ear and leave the other, but sometimes you had no choice but to take their words to heart.

Now, for example, Mo Wen could tell something was off just from their words.

“Gu Jingman was already on the verge of breaking through, and all l did was give her that push. Honestly, she could have reached the Tide Changing Realm even without me,” Mo Wen said derisively.

“Sister Gu Jingman is so lucky to have someone looking out for her at any given moment, and she’s taken care of even for her cultivation,” Wang Yinru said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

“Ahem, Sister Yinru, I actually care quite a bit about your cultivation as well, but your foundation is still too shallow so it’s not wise for me to intervene too much, lest I wind up harming you. After all, you can only rely on yourself when it comes to cultivation, and external strength will always only be just added support. But don’t worry because I’ve already come up with a perfect plan for cultivation and all you have to do is follow my plan. If you go about things as I instruct, you’ll definitely be able to pull off a drastic change like what Gu Jingman did.”

Mo Wen felt helpless. The comparison between women had to be nipped in the bud, or it would only exacerbate. He had obviously kept an eye on Wang Yinru’s cultivation; after all, she was basically his right-hand man and she had consistently been helping him take care of the sect. Although he was the sect leader, he basically had nothing to do. This was something he could not afford to play favorites for.

This cultivation plan was something he had been thinking about for a long time. Wang Yinru and Gu Jingman were different. Gu Jingman’s luck was entirely something different and she was basically not human, but Wang Yinru was just an ordinary girl. Both women were cultivating together, at the same time, so he obviously had to put in more effort with regards to Wang Yinru. If he wanted her to undergo a change as drastic, it was not something that could be achieved with just a few Spiritual Transforming Pearl.

With Wang Yinru’s current capabilities, being able to absorb even one Spiritual Transforming Pearl was already amazing. It was not just an issue with the Spiritual Transforming Pearls; rather, Wang Yinru was not at all able to handle that much Creation Qi. Gu Jingman had been able to absorb more than 800 Spiritual Transforming Pearls. Even if Wang Yinru only absorbed one, she would technically still be going through a drastic change, but it would pale in comparison to Gu Jingman. There were no grounds for comparison and her potential in the days to come would be rather limited as well.

The Creation Qi in the Spiritual Transforming Pearls could, theoretically, continuously and unceasingly raise the potential of the human body and change its constitution. However, the effect of absorbing the Spiritual Transforming Pearls was strongest the first time, and subsequent absorption would diminish the effect of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, ergo diminishing the effect on oneself.

As such, the first absorption of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls was of utmost importance, so it was only natural that Mo Wen did not allow Wang Yinru to absorb the Creation Qi of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls.

According to his plan, he would raise Wang Yinru’s capabilities and cultivation in all aspects in the time to come. When she reached the best state possible, he would let her absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls.

“Really? You’ve been planning for this?” Wang Yinru’s eyes glimmered, and she massaged Mo Wen more and more gently.

“Of course.” Mo Wen nodded immediately.

Joy swam in her eyes and she was momentarily speechless

“I’m your team leader, Mo Wen, and I’ve been helping you so much these days. Are you not going to draw up a plan for me too?” Pei Fengwu remarked mildly.

“You’re part of the plan, Pei Fengwu. Ease up—what do you take me for? How could I exclude both of you from benefits?”

Mo Wen patted his chest as a gesture of guarantee. Truth be told, he had never thought about Pei Fengwu at all and had not even expected her to stay in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Speaking of which, there was something he had to say. An extra person was of no actual difference to him, other than the fact that he had to fork out more resources for cultivation. Besides, he had already been planning to raise the overall strength of the Ming Palace in the time to come anyway.

Pei Fengwu fell silent. Then, she gritted her teeth as she said, “I will definitely repay what you have done for me, Mo Wen. Maybe more, but definitely not less.”

She was not someone who liked to take advantage of other people, and she had never made a demand of another person ever since she was born. Mo Wen was the first person she had made a request to.

Upon hearing that, Mo Wen waved his hands. “You’re too polite, Sister Fengwu. There’s no need for such formalities in our relationship.”

Why was this person so polite?

“Well…what kind of relationship do we have?” Pei Fengwu blinked as she replied, her gaze fixed on Mo Wen.

“Uh…”

Mo Wen was shocked. He was just being polite, so he did not expect Pei Fengwu to actually ask such a question. He thought about it carefully—what was his relationship with Pei Fengwu? If he really thought about it, they were not actually close enough for them to be this casual with each other. He could call her his friend, or even his team leader from his days in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. Although she had indeed helped him quite a bit, they did not really have much of a relationship outside of that. Was he not pushing it a bit when he phrased it like this?

After thinking about it carefully, Mo Wen was a little embarrassed. He said as he laughed, “At any rate, we have a good relationship, so you don’t have to be polite with me, Sister Fengwu.”

“Then I won’t anymore.” Pei Fengwu actually nodded when she heard him, not at all aware there was something amiss.

“The both of you are dropping formalities left and right. You two are getting pretty close, huh?”

Wang Yinru glanced at Mo Wen, then at Pei Fengwu. The two were really overdoing it with the flirting.

Pei Fengwu’s pretty face turned red when she heard it and she turned away, pretending she did not hear what Wang Yinru said.

Wang Yinru’s words were layered with a weird undertone. Mo Wen startled away suddenly, as though sensing something was off.
