Chapter 707 - More Make Up… (2/2)

Senior Gem Emperor was surprised at the sudden appearance of w.a.n.g Wu. However, the next moment she waved her hand, trying to push w.a.n.g Wu aside as if she was shooing flies away.

A top rank Earth Immortal driving away a Jindan Stage person, in theory, should be easy. Senior Gem Emperor did not have the intention to kill. Her effort was just right. It was firm enough that a Daoist Master of Jindan Stage could not resist, but would not be crushed into a powder.

However, this time she met with an obstacle. After that blow, w.a.n.g Wu was like a spring breeze. Her body did not even move. At the same time, the emerald green bamboo sword preemptively came at the opponent.

With a serious expression, Senior Gem Emperor looked at the incoming sword light. She murmured in puzzlement, “Outside path?”

There was no secret in the eyes of the Earth Immortals. It was a fact that w.a.n.g Wu was a Daoist Master of Jindan Stage. However, it was also true that a Daoist Master of Jindan Stage had actually resisted her immortal technique. The combination of the two, which was the outside path, seemed to be the only explanation.

After seeing the true ident.i.ty of w.a.n.g Wu clearly, Senior Gem Emperor looked at w.a.n.g Lu again. This time, her look relaxed a lot.

“You are her disciple, although not of the outside path… so, it’s not you.”

w.a.n.g Lu was baffled. “Not me?”

At this point, w.a.n.g Lu understood that Senior Gem Emperor did not want to kill him, but wanted to learn something from him.

It must be something very important and inconvenient for too many people to know. Otherwise, Senior Gem Emperor would not have lowered her majestic dignity by ambus.h.i.+ng a little Jindan. She could come up to him in a dignified manner just as she did against Xuan Mo.

Therefore, it was not a business, but a private matter? However, what private matter would it be? From the tone of Senior Gem Emperor, it seemed like she was looking for someone who met certain conditions. She thought that w.a.n.g Lu was that person. However, after discovering that w.a.n.g Wu was an outside path cultivator, she gave up her original intention.

Was there anything that hindered the outside path? What matters that Senior Gem Emperor wanted to accomplish that an outside path cultivator could not do?

In a flash, w.a.n.g Lu came up with multiple conditions and questions. However, the clues at hand could not help him continue to deduce, so his chaotic train of thoughts always stopped.

After confirming that w.a.n.g Lu did not meet the conditions, Senior Gem Emperor did not make any attempt to stop him. She just nodded and said, “After the end of Grand Compet.i.tion, I will appoint you as the military counselor. I hope that you can work hard.”

With that, Senior Gem Emperor’s figure disappeared without a trace.

w.a.n.g Lu watched her left, and the confusion in his heart became more intense.

“Who is that?”

w.a.n.g Wu pointed in the direction where the Gem Emperor left, which was only a mist by now. “Was that innocent girl abandoned by you after you slept with her? No, based on her tone of voice, she seemed arrogant, telling you to be the military counselor… Could it be that she was a domineering girl who abandoned you after you two slept together instead?”

“Yes, she thinks I’m too pure and tasteless. She wants to find someone more mature and charming to serve her. I think you’re her type. You should consider applying for the job. Oh, by the way, she is the current leader in the Earth Immortal camp and has decision-making power over everything.”

w.a.n.g Wu’s eyes immediately turned bright. “So, she’s in charge of the Earth Immortal’s treasure? Not bad. Do you have any contact information?”

Looking at her raised eyebrows while indicating her fearlessness, w.a.n.g Lu felt that Senior Gem Emperor was not so difficult to deal with.

——

After returning to the City of Immortals, w.a.n.g Lu immediately looked for Daoist He Tu. He then held an emergency meeting to tell what he had seen and heard, except for the ambush at the end.

To meet Xuan Mo alone was an important mission entrusted to him by the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. However, to meet with Senior Gem Emperor alone was easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding. w.a.n.g Lu only told Daoist He Tu about the incident, which was not announced at the meeting. Moreover, informing Daoist He Tu was also because of the short-term encounter with Senior Gem Emperor who triggered the Sword of Nine Regions. Daoist He Tu would inevitably know something. Thus, it was better to be honest and open.

The meeting naturally triggered a tremendous shock. The coup d’état at the Earth Immortal camp and the rise to power of the iron-fisted Senior Gem Emperor would bring great pressure to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. The situation that had just improved was likely to disappear.

For this reason, the Elders at the meeting had a good argument. Some believed that training should be intensified and prepared. Others thought that training was no longer meaningful. Right now, the first thing to do was to find ways to remove Senior Gem Emperor from power. Some people also said that making a move against the Earth Immortal camp right now was to hand someone the sword hilt (idiom: to give someone a hold on oneself).

The meeting lasted for half a day, and nothing conclusive came out at the end. Even w.a.n.g Lu remained silent and did not pick any side.

Nevertheless, this silence was also a stand in itself. To wait and see and act accordingly to change.

There was still too little understanding of Senior Gem Emperor. It was impossible to guess what changes she would cause when she came to power.

Thus, waiting was necessary until further information was in hand and then a strategy could be worked out. As for this, where this further information came from… It was time to wait for a certain someone who had no hesitation in getting money no matter what.

——

At the same time, in front of the swirl of stars in the Tomb of Immortals, a white-dressed female cultivator was holding a bouquet of flowers.

“Excuse me, may I ask where is Senior Gem Emperor?”

After a pause, the woman said, “I’m here to propose.”
