She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1402, Section Three and Four: A Gift
He had only recently left the pass and had only heard rumors that Zhao Chun had entered the city to resolve the issue of the Celestial Religion, but he did not entirely believe them.

He even suspected that there were Void Realm cultivators everywhere in Dingxian City, and that the Celestial Human Sect would not have been able to hide in the city if no one had deliberately allowed it.

The more Wan Chong improved his cultivation, the more he felt his own insignificance. Above him, on this vast sky where countless rogue cultivators walked, the three Void Realm cultivators maintained a delicate balance. The Taiyuan Dao Sect utilized and maintained this balance, but now Zhao Chun's actions were all unrelated to maintaining the status quo.

It's going to change.

A chill ran down Wan Chong's spine, but a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes as he smiled and said, "My master is a man of strong emotions, and he has been neglecting to discipline his clan's descendants, which has offended your esteemed sect's disciples. I hope you will forgive him."

Zhao Chun smiled, raised her hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything more, and said in a normal tone, "It's a trivial matter. Since your master has already removed the golden needles for that disciple, this matter will end here."

Wan Chong rolled his eyes, sensing something from Zhao Chun's flat words. He repeatedly said, "That's right, that's right." But then he thought to himself, "With Zhao Chun's insight, she couldn't possibly not see that there's someone behind Dong Guan's affair. Does she really want to settle things here to avoid further trouble, or... does she not want to take action herself?"
It makes sense. Behind Dong Guan's death are powerful families in the city, such as the Kang and Jiao families, though they are not in the public eye. Once this incident occurs, the one who truly clashes with Zhao Chun's side is Dong Kuan, who is standing in the middle. If they were to bypass the other side and directly punish those powerful families, the nine families and fourteen factions would probably be on edge, thinking that Zhao Chun is attacking them over a trivial matter.

Perhaps Zhao Chun had such a plan.

But at least for now, she hasn't made a move.

Wan Chong chuckled dryly and said, "Sword Lord, you have such a magnanimous spirit; it makes me feel somewhat ashamed."

Zhao Chun smiled without speaking, her five fingers spread out and pressed against the teacup in front of her. A very faint steam rose slowly from between her fingers. Wan Chong lowered his eyes as she did so, and suddenly heard Zhao Chun speak: "I don't have much interaction with Fellow Daoist Wan. I only heard that you were once stuck at a bottleneck, which is why you had to rush to the South Sea to seek opportunities in the Heavenly Origin Dao. Fortunately, you have now overcome the difficulties and achieved the Dao of Divinity. The future is promising."

If he could only manage a forced laugh just now, Wan Chong could only manage a bitter laugh now. He sighed deeply, his heart aching, and said, "After thousands of years of painstaking efforts, I have finally achieved a moment of glory. The road to success has been so arduous, how can I expect anything in the future?"

He attained enlightenment through the Middle Way, relying on the opportunity provided by the Heavenly Pillar. After achieving divine status, he faced countless challenges, the most important of which was the Daoist method. This was of no use to Dong Kuan, and if he were to explore it on his own, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

People say that it is difficult to be a solitary cultivator, and the difficulty lies in the inheritance of tradition.

Seeing his gloomy face, Zhao Chun said, "I see that your cultivation is similar to that of your master. I also heard that three great masters in the city have bestowed favors upon you. Why not go with the flow and choose a good master to study under? That way, you will have something to rely on."

Wan Chong shook his head and said with difficulty, "If I say this, Sword Lord will laugh at me. I am weak and alone. If I could only receive such favor once, that would be good. But to have three at the same time is really not a good thing for me."

"Fellow Daoist Wan."

Zhao Chun's voice remained as leisurely and calm as she said, "I have a plan for you. Once it succeeds, it will surely grant you your wish. Would you like to hear it?" Wan Chong's heart pounded, and his breathing became slightly rapid, yet he did not completely let his guard down. He simply lowered his voice and said, "...I wonder what brilliant idea Sword Master has?"

A few hours later, Wan Chong emerged from the cave. This time, it was not Qi Zheng who came to see him off, but Qin Yuke, Zhao Chun's personal disciple. Given this status, Wan Chong dared not neglect her in the slightest, and said very politely, "I'll see you off here. I have received guidance from Sword Master and have a plan in mind. I will certainly not disappoint Sword Master."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and transformed into a long wind that soared into the clouds. His face was filled with undisguised joy, as if he had become a completely different person.

After seeing him off, Qin Yuke headed towards the secluded place where Zhao Chun was. As a direct disciple, she now held a high position and great power, so she could see Zhao Chun directly without any formalities. Thus, she was able to step forward and ask, "Is it really as my master said, that the matter of Dong Kuan was enough to lure Wan Chong out of the Five-Distance Cave? However, I still don't understand why my master didn't target the Nine Families and Fourteen Lineages, but instead chose to target Wan Chong?"

Zhao Chun then led her to his side, her face showing no sign of intimacy, and asked with a smile, "Yu Ke, what do you think of the relationships between the six clans of Taiyuan?"

Qin Yuke thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, it's all about open and covert struggles, with each side having its own strengths and weaknesses, which is far inferior to the unity and solidarity of our faction."

Zhao Chun paused, silently reciting the four words "of one heart and one mind," her tone carrying a faint smile: "Yu Ke has the heart of a child, and I am ashamed to say that I am inferior to her."

He then softened his voice and said, "If one day my faction were to take action against one of the six clans, what should be done to the other five clans?"

This time, Yu Ke didn't hesitate and said decisively, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. How can the other five clans sit idly by? Besides, this is a major event for the sect. If such a day comes, I'm afraid the entire sect will have to fight against it."

At that moment, she had a sudden inspiration and immediately understood the key point. She whispered, "Is Master afraid that if the nine families and fourteen factions join forces, it will be detrimental to our operations?"

Zhao Chun remained noncommittal and continued, "There are only nine families and fourteen factions. Whether they join forces or split up, they cannot threaten us. The power of Dingxian City has always been in the hands of the three Void Realm experts above. These three are wary of each other, yet they advance and retreat together. We come from the outside world. If we start by attacking the nine families and fourteen factions, it will only provoke their rebellious intentions. As things escalate, even if I can persuade the elders of the sect to come out, these three, in order to protect themselves, will submit to Taiyuan's recruitment, which would be a loss for them."

"Therefore, the best course of action now is to divide them from within, select a trustworthy person, and then lure them with the promise of control over the city, thereby driving one tiger to devour another and reaping the benefits."

"If one of the three defectes to our faction, the remaining two will naturally join forces to defeat him. At that time, the defector will only be able to resist him by relying on us. As for Taiyuan, the Xiao family is not the only one in his faction that wants to get involved. Let them recruit those two; they probably won't be of one mind."

"That makes it even easier to deal with."

At this moment, the sky was clear and blue, reflecting on the shallow layer of water in the teacup. When Zhao Chun touched the water with her fingertips, ripples immediately spread, disrupting the original pristine sky.
