Chapter 269: Ziyue’s Malicious Intent
Shortly after Li Xiaojun’s figure vanished, he reappeared in the small world of Master Qingfeng.
At this moment, Master Qingfeng’s small world had transformed into a strange environment.
The previously damaged world wall had been simply repaired by Master Qingfeng, just enough to prevent the spiritual energy from flooding in.
Upon returning to the small world, Li Xiaojun quickly made his way to the small dark room and replaced his avatar.
After receiving the memory from his avatar, Li Xiaojun learned that Master Qingfeng had not visited him during these past few days, so no one discovered that he was not present in the small world.
This was understandable; for Master Qingfeng, the most important task was to repair the small world while quickly escaping the pursuit of the beast tribe. There was no time to check if Li Xiaojun was still there.
Thus, it wasn’t until half a month later that Master Qingfeng fully repaired the small world and hid it in a very secluded location.
Even in such a situation, Master Qingfeng did not immediately come to see Li Xiaojun but quickly left the small world instead.
A month later, Master Qingfeng, aboard a flying device, returned to the small world with a group of Great Ascension stage miners.
It turned out that during their hurried escape from the small world last time, they had not brought back the group of miners who were working in the immortal gold mine.
Now that the small world had reached a safe place, Master Qingfeng naturally wanted to bring these people back right away.
These individuals were cultivated with great effort by Master Qingfeng. Although few could become Immortals, they were essential for the small world’s survival.
After settling everyone in the small world, Master Qingfeng finally came to see Li Xiaojun.
Previously, Master Qingfeng only scanned Li Xiaojun with her divine sense and confirmed that he was still in the small world. In reality, the one in the small world for several days had been Li Xiaojun’s avatar, but Master Qingfeng was too busy to notice.
“Li Xiaojun, you have seen the harsh living conditions our Human Race faces in the Immortal Realm, haven’t you?” Master Qingfeng asked softly.
Li Xiaojun remained silent, watching Master Qingfeng, curious about what she would say next.
“Li Xiaojun, as a Profound Immortal, I nearly got killed by the beast tribe. Our Human Race is too weak in the Immortal Realm!”
Sighing, Master Qingfeng continued, “So, Li Xiaojun, I really hope you can cooperate with my plan. Only then can our Human Race rise in the Immortal Realm…”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun couldn’t help but interrupt, “Master Qingfeng, your words sound nice, but if the survival conditions for our Human Race in the Immortal Realm are so harsh, aren’t you willing to sacrifice a little yourself?”
In response, Master Qingfeng explained, “Li Xiaojun, it’s not that I am unwilling to sacrifice myself. It’s because I truly have someone I care about; I can’t allow anyone else in my heart…”
Li Xiaojun did not respond to Master Qingfeng’s words but rolled his eyes in secret.
It sounded beautiful, as if he, Li Xiaojun, had no one in his heart. Hadn’t he been forced by various factions from the beginning?
Ultimately, it was still Master Qingfeng who was unwilling to take a risk; she just wanted others to make sacrifices while she herself would not.
From that point on, regardless of how Master Qingfeng tried to persuade him, Li Xiaojun remained unmoved.
No matter what Master Qingfeng said, as long as she was not willing to make sacrifices herself, Li Xiaojun regarded it as mere entertainment during boredom.
He wasn’t afraid of what Master Qingfeng might do; with his current cultivation level, if he were confident he could control her, he would have rebelled long ago.
In reality, Master Qingfeng was merely trying to convince Li Xiaojun as usual. If he succeeded, that would be great; if not, it was no big deal.
As an Immortal, she had a long lifespan, and only a little over one hundred years had passed.
She believed that after being confined in the small dark room for a long time, Li Xiaojun would eventually compromise.
“Teacher, why don’t we change the environment for junior sister’s father, and arrange for some beautiful female cultivators to interact with him? Let him slowly develop feelings for someone else. What do you think?”
One day, Ziyue proposed this suggestion to Master Qingfeng.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Master Qingfeng asked.
“Teacher, we can arrange for junior sister’s father to live in a lively city; this is called entering the mortal world. However, entering the mortal world naturally comes with various temptations…”
Ziyue briefly shared her idea.
Her plan was to let Li Xiaojun live in the city within the small world and interact with all sorts of people.
Among these people would be some women arranged by them.
The idea was not to force Li Xiaojun into anything, but to subtly guide him.
After hearing Ziyue’s suggestion, Master Qingfeng considered the reliability of this approach.
To implement this plan, the most important step was to restrict Li Xiaojun’s ability to use the rule of space to leave the small world.
Of course, this issue was not a problem for Master Qingfeng since she could set up a no-fly formation throughout the entire small world, which would only consume some of her resources.
As long as Li Xiaojun couldn’t leave the small world, she could let him act freely, which would lower his guard.
Once he was less vigilant, they could introduce excellent women to subtly entice Li Xiaojun.
In such a situation, the chances of success might be even greater.
In the end, Master Qingfeng decided to adopt Ziyue’s suggestion.
For the next few years, she laid out no-fly formations across the entire world wall.
In this way, she believed that Li Xiaojun would not be able to use the rule of space to leave the small world.
“Li Xiaojun, you are free…”
One day, Master Qingfeng returned to the small dark room where Li Xiaojun was held and let him out.
“What? You’re letting me go?” Li Xiaojun asked, unable to believe it.
“Yes,” Master Qingfeng nodded, lightly saying to Li Xiaojun, “You were right; I can’t sacrifice myself for the Human Race, so I have no reason to force you. I’ve decided to set you free.”
“From now on, you can go wherever you want; I won’t keep you locked up anymore,” she told Li Xiaojun.
“Are you serious?” Li Xiaojun looked at Master Qingfeng suspiciously.
“Believe it or not.”
“Can I leave the small world?”
“Of course, you cannot; the Immortal Realm is too dangerous. You are too weak and will soon lack the ability to protect yourself, so just live peacefully in the small world.”
Master Qingfeng said this and then left.
After she left, Li Xiaojun cautiously stepped out of the small dark room without facing any obstruction.
Seeing this, Li Xiaojun felt confused; could it be that Master Qingfeng really didn’t care about him anymore?
But soon, Li Xiaojun realized that Master Qingfeng didn’t genuinely want him to leave.
Once outside the small dark room, Li Xiaojun tried to use the rule of space to leave the small world, only to discover that the world wall of the small world had restrictions, and his ability with the rule of space was completely unusable.
Well, Li Xiaojun hadn’t really planned to leave anyway.
He then decided to prepare to build a cave abode on a mountain.
However, Master Qingfeng quickly rushed over to stop him.
She said to Li Xiaojun, “Li Xiaojun, all places in the small world belong to me; you cannot privately build your cave abode anywhere.”
“What do you mean? If you won’t let me leave the small world and won’t let me build a cave abode, where am I supposed to stay?” Li Xiaojun asked, feeling irritated.
“You can stay in the town; there are some houses for rent in the town. You can use your cultivation resources to rent a place,” Master Qingfeng said with a lightly amused look at Li Xiaojun.
“Are you trying to drain my cultivation resources?” Li Xiaojun quickly understood Master Qingfeng’s malicious intent.
