Chapter 801: Chapter 799: Senior Sister, There’s No Need for Formalities Between Us

Although knowing Xu Wendong could achieve victory,

Bai Jie still held Xu Wendong in high regard.

The reason being nothing else. noveldrama

His control over the situation had reached a strategizing level, with everything under his command.

He was resourceful and intelligent; how could Yang Fan be his match?

Indeed.

While others were still determining winners by cultivation levels, he had already prioritized psychological warfare.

This fact was undeniable!

At that moment,

In the depths of Bai Jie’s eyes, admiration and affection for Xu Wendong glimmered.

"Senior Sister Bai, there’s no need for formality between us, hurry and refine this magic artifact!" Xu Wendong handed the golden iron sheet to Bai Jie without further ado.

With a magic artifact by her side, her strength could increase significantly, thus improving her chances of successfully overcoming tribulations.

"Alright."

This time Bai Jie was not polite, marked the artifact with her blood, absorbing it into her body, then left the Emerald Bamboo Forest to go back and fully refine the magic artifact, as this was the only way to enhance her combat capability.

As for the favor she owed Xu Wendong...

She hadn’t figured out how to repay it yet.

------

Xu Wendong continued his previous life, making elixirs by day, assisting his master and Xia An’an with preparing three meals a day, and cultivating at night.

Although his realm had not advanced, his strength had noticeably improved.

After all, he had consumed a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills; even if he hadn’t entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, his strength improved considerably compared to before.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before his duel with Yang Fan.

Xu Wendong informed those who had him concocting elixirs, handing over the elixirs to them.

At a success rate of sixty percent, just in this one month, he had deducted over two thousand Foundation Establishment Pills, which was no small figure for him.

Not to mention the additional reward of over a thousand spirit stones.

It’s fair to say that he is now the wealthiest amongst the younger generation of the Elixir Sect.

Meanwhile,

Xia An’an sought out her father Xia Hou, pouting her chubby little face, she said, "Father, tomorrow is the duel day between Senior Brother Yang and Junior Brother Xu. It’s impossible for Junior Brother Xu to win; I don’t want him to lose!"

"Girl, could it be that you’ve taken a liking to Xu Wendong?" Xia Hou’s stern face softened, showing a hint of affectionate smile.

"No, no, no!" Xia An’an shook her head quickly, blushing as she replied, "I just think Junior Brother Xu’s culinary skills are excellent. If he loses to Senior Brother Yang on the ring, who will help your daughter with the three meals every day?"

Initially, Xia An’an resisted the routine of three meals a day, believing it would affect her cultivation and pollute her physique.

But the truth proved otherwise.

Once she got used to three meals a day, she became different, feeling light and refreshed all over.

Sometimes, when she encountered something she didn’t understand in cultivation, a delicious meal would often enlighten her.

This allowed her to deeply understand the benefits brought by the mortal world’s smoke and fire.

Thus, she came to her father with this reason, hoping Xu Wendong wouldn’t suffer any harm in the competition tomorrow.

"Do you really not like Xu Wendong?" Xia Hou showed an intriguing smile.

"Father, what are you talking about? When did I ever say I liked Junior Brother Xu?" Xia An’an’s face blushed red, showing a shy expression.

"I... I just feel that he’s quite unique, and it’s comfortable being with him; it absolutely doesn’t mean I like him."

As the proud daughter of the Elixir Sect, the Sect Leader’s daughter.

Xia An’an was certainly an aloof existence.

No matter where she went.

Everyone had to be respectful upon seeing her, wary of any slight offense.

But only in front of Xu Wendong, all her honor and aura were ignored by him.

At first, she was slightly unhappy.

After all, she was the Sect Leader’s daughter, a proud daughter of the heavens known throughout the Nine Provinces.

Couldn’t you at least show some respect?

Please, give me some face, will you?

But as time went by,

She gradually started to enjoy how Xu Wendong would have her serve tea, clean, and do these trivial things.

She even began to wonder if she was being masochistic?

Otherwise, why enjoy this feeling?

Later she gradually realized, it wasn’t because she was being masochistic; she simply wanted an environment where she could interact with others fairly, not constantly being flattered and fawned over.

And this feeling, only Xu Wendong could provide.

Seeing her daughter’s rosy cheeks, Xia Hou’s face showed a bitter smile. Although his daughter repeatedly said she didn’t like Xu Wendong,

No one knows a daughter better than her father.

If she really didn’t like that guy, why would she come to him now?

But.

She wasn’t willing to admit she had feelings for that guy.

Looking at the smile on his father’s face, Xia An’an huffed lightly, "Father, I don’t want Junior Brother Xu to lose to Yang Fan tomorrow. If he really loses, I won’t talk to you anymore!"

Xia Hou indulgently smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you, Xu Wendong will win tomorrow; is that good enough?"

"Really?" Xia An’an was overjoyed, not expecting her father to agree so readily.

Xia Hou retorted, "Has father ever lied to you?"

Xia An’an excitedly hugged Xia Hou, "Father is the best! Mwah!" She said, giving him a peck on the cheek, and then left Xia Hou’s cultivation cave with a happy step.

After Xia An’an left, Xia Hou took out the communication token and sent a message to Yang Fan to come over.

A moment later,

Yang Fan arrived at Xia Hou’s cave.

"Disciple pays respects to Master!" Yang Fan bowed and saluted.

"No need for formality!" Xia Hou said indifferently, "I heard that tomorrow you will compete against the Third Elder’s disciple Xu Wendong on the ring?"

Yang Fan angrily said, "Yes, Master, that’s right."

"That Xu Wendong is too arrogant, essentially ignoring the younger sister, often bullying her, making her do things meant for maids. I need to teach him a lesson to feel at ease!"

Yang Fan never concealed his affection for Xia An’an in front of Xia Hou, and this competition with Xu Wendong was for the reason that Xia An’an had been bullied.

Xia Hou sighed lightly, "I have never interfered in matters among you young ones, especially in love, because as someone who has been through it, I know that many things are beyond control."

"It’s heartening that you think of An’an," the master was really gratified by this.

"However, have you considered whether An’an needs your protection?"

"If she really resented Xu Wendong, why would she stay with him wholeheartedly?"

"I..." Yang Fan was speechless; he didn’t know how to refute his master’s words because it was an issue he always avoided facing.

"Silly boy, when it comes to love, it should be mutual," Xia Hou said helplessly, "Even if you defeat Xu Wendong, so what? Do you think An’an will look at you differently?"

"No, if anything, she will despise your actions and even hold a grudge against you."

"I ask you, even if you defeat Xu Wendong, what would it mean?"
