Chapter 357: An Buyu Going Around Recruiting

Although the three great sacred lands had a competitive relationship, they actually had quite a good relationship, even to the point of helping each other.

This phenomenon could be attributed to a book called “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”

At that time, the competition among the three great sacred lands was intense, often resulting in large-scale conflicts.

However, after “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” became popular in the ancient martial arts world, the people from the three sacred lands realized—

If our sacred lands fight until both sides suffer, what if subordinate forces seize power during our infighting?!

That’s exactly what the Sima family did!

Wei, Shu, and Wu fought among themselves, and in the end, all three fell into the hands of the Sima family!

Realizing this, the three sacred lands immediately stopped their conflicts.

Anyway, the current territories were sufficient, and fighting further would only be counterproductive!

Hence, in the following period, the three sacred lands ceased large-scale conflicts and began establishing friendly relations.

So now, it was quite reasonable for An Buyu, the saintess of the Nine Nether Sacred Land, to visit Piao Miao Sacred Land.

Yet, as implied by his senior sister’s words, she seemed to be after him—

“What did An Buyu ask about me?”

Wang Haoran was very curious.

Lin Xixue sat up and began to explain slowly.

“She just… kept asking about you, in a roundabout way.”

“She thought she concealed it well, but I saw through it right away. She was clearly after information about you.”

At that time, An Buyu pretended to be curious and said, “I heard Master Zhao accepted a new disciple. Could you tell me about him?”

Though she tried to appear just curious, her bashful demeanor revealed to Lin Xixue that the Nine Nether saintess was after her junior brother.

There might even be some dramatic entanglement between them…

“So, I started chatting with her.”

“And during our conversation, I casually mentioned…”

“I said you’re a scoundrel…”

Lin Xixue weakly admitted.

As expected, upon finishing her sentence, her rabbit ears were flicked by Wang Haoran, “Ouch~”

She continued,

“Then An Buyu seemed… very excited, anxiously asking if I had any special relationship with you…”

“For example, if you wooed and left me…”

Wang Haoran was speechless: “And how did you respond?”

“…”

“I…really wanted to know what she was going to say, so I… made up a few things…”

“Said you were a big scoundrel, a jerk!”

“Calling me Xixue intimately when being close, but denying our relationship afterward, only ordering your senior sister around!”

Lin Xixue, with a sheet covering her chest, weakly added:

“I just wanted to get more information from An Buyu, not really curse you, junior brother!”

Wang Haoran: “…”

Regardless of your intention, at least don’t say such things when I’m putting on my pants!

Making him pause in his action!

Ultimately, Wang Haoran put on his clothes under Lin Xixue’s resentful gaze.

“And then? How did An Buyu react?”

“Ugh, she was so bad!”

Lin Xixue tossed the sheet aside irritably.

By now, she was used to being seen naked by her junior brother.

With an annoyed tone, she continued:

“She was delighted!”

“Asked if I wanted to join her for bigger plans!”

“Said that you, the scoundrel, love to leech off women. As long as we grow stronger, you’d definitely turn into a devoted lover to please us!”

“At that point, we’d humiliate you severely!”

“Make you… suffer pain eight times a day!”

Wang Haoran sighed, “Did you agree?”

“Not yet, I told her I needed to think it over.”

“Actually, I wanted to inform you and hear your opinion.”

Lin Xixue, now angry, dared shoot daggers at Wang Haoran:

“But I didn’t expect you to come back and immediately think about those things!”

“Finished and just left me lying there, trying to run!”

*Cough cough,* I have urgent matters to attend to!”

Hearing about An Buyu’s unexpected visit, Wang Haoran changed his plans.

He lay down, pulled his senior sister into his arms, and started stroking her hair while giving instructions.

“If that’s the case, senior sister, just agree with her!”

“See what she’s up to!”

“Hmph, got it!”

Lin Xixue snorted but didn’t refuse.

Then.

After a bit of snuggling.

She couldn’t help but ask.

“Junior brother, what’s your relation with her?”

“…Objectively speaking, none.”

“None? Hmph, do you take me for a fool? She specifically came to find you!”

However, Wang Haoran didn’t want to explain, so he changed the subject.

“By the way, did An Buyu look for Li Yuan?”

“Li Yuan?”

Lin Xixue thought for a moment and replied, “I didn’t hear that.”

“Moreover, Li Yuan is confined at the reflecting cliff. An Buyu can’t see him.”

“I see…”

While Wang Haoran pondered, Lin Xixue mentioned another person.

“Junior brother, An Buyu has a disciple. She seems quite interested in you too; her eyes lit up upon hearing your name…”

“…Xu Ruochu? Did she come with An Buyu?”

“See, I knew you recognized them!”

Lin Xixue wore a “you scoundrel, caught you” expression—

“Don’t tell me, you’ve seduced both the master and disciple…”

“Stop with the nonsense, nothing like that!”

Wang Haoran hurriedly denied.

Then addressed the main issue.

“Senior sister, just go along with their plans.”

“As long as you remember to report back to me!”

“Got it, got it!”

Lin Xixue, in Wang Haoran’s arms, hummed again.

She understood that her mischievous junior brother’s polite request was just an act.

If she refused, he’d quickly show his true colors and exact burning… care like a tyrant!

Truly an exasperating man!
