Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 251 Shoot the Arrow First, Then Draw the Target
Seeing that Lü Yang was trying his best to suppress his desire but was still somewhat unable to hold back, Master Miaoyin maintained her smile while secretly sneering inwardly.

O man!

The next second, she took a step back, her previous flirtatious demeanor replaced by an elegant and dignified composure.

She understood these men's thoughts all too well. If you want to seduce someone with your beauty, throwing yourself into their arms is the worst method. The truly effective tactic is to play hard to get. Men, the more they can't have you, the more they want you. Only by keeping them hanging on and pulling them along can you completely control them.

"Well, fellow Daoist, would you be willing to talk?"

Master Miaoyin spoke softly, as if her teasing words just now were unintentional and that she had no real intention at all.

What makes someone elusive is what makes them so intrigued.

As expected, Lü Yang's eagerness to act became even more obvious, and he spoke faster, "Madam hasn't said yet what brings you here to see me?"

"I wish to travel to the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm] to absorb its energy and increase my life force."

"But the heavens are dangerous, and I have no one to protect me."

The Venerable Miaoyin sighed and said, "In the past, I had my husband to help me, but now that he has passed away, I really can't find any trustworthy helpers."

After speaking, she looked up at Lü Yang again. Every word, every action, every smile revealed the vulnerability and helplessness hidden beneath her dignified demeanor, a vulnerability stemming from the recent loss of her husband. Coupled with her special status as the wife of her former boss, she was enough to make many people's hearts flutter.

Lü Yang seemed to be no exception.

"I promised this!"

He patted his chest and laughed loudly, "It just so happens that I was also planning to go to the outer heavens to gather energy. I can go with my wife, and we can protect and look after each other."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Upon hearing this, Master Miaoyin immediately showed a touch of emotion, and a charming blush appeared on her originally pale and delicate face.

"I have only invited you, fellow Daoist. I hope you will have mercy on me."

After speaking, Master Miaoyin bowed slightly. Her words were suggestive, yet her tone was extremely serious, as if she had no hidden meaning.

Lu Yang's expression became even more impatient.

However, Master Miaoyin did not linger. Seeing this, she immediately rode away in a streak of light, carrying a fragrant breeze with her, without giving Lü Yang another chance to speak.

"."

After watching Master Miaoyin leave, Lü Yang composed himself, only to see Patriarch Tingyou quietly appear behind him, looking at him with slight worry:

"Yuan Tu, you haven't actually fallen for him, have you?"

"Master is joking."

Lu Yang turned around, his face, which had just been showing signs of restlessness, now cold and indifferent. His eyes were calm, and he uttered a single, understated sentence:

"She's trying to hurt me!"

After saying that, Lü Yang pondered for a moment, then added, "To be precise, this woman is probably colluding with someone with ulterior motives, trying to set a trap for me!"

".ah?"

Master Tingyou was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Although I want you to be careful of this woman and not be tempted by her beauty, isn't your approach a bit extreme?"

"Isn't it?"

"There's no reason why this is so unusual." Upon hearing this, Lü Yang glanced at Ancestor Tingyou and said in a low voice, "Ancestor, this is the Holy Sect! This kind of thing is not surprising!"

It's just the sect's reputation!

Master You wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that since it was a Holy Sect, it wasn't impossible. So he changed the subject and asked, "What's your basis?"

"The proof is that she took the initiative to come to me!"

Lu Yang remained calm and analyzed, "Why would she take the initiative to come to me? Is it just because she misunderstands that I'm a womanizer and thinks she can use me for her own purposes?" —Otherwise, what?

Seeing the strange expression on Ancestor Tingyou's face, Lü Yang immediately guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but say, "Ancestor, you understand me."

"Am I the kind of person who enjoys women?"

Upon hearing this, Master You thought to himself, "It's precisely because I know you so well that I'm worried you might be blinded by beauty."

Seeing this, Lü Yang could only helplessly explain, "It's undeniable that she had the intention to pull me into a conflict, but that's just a Saint Sect True Person's usual tactic and doesn't prove anything. Putting aside the appearances and looking at the essence, no matter what methods she used, it's wrong of her to take the initiative to come to me this time!"

"Because she is the one who takes the initiative."

"She has detailed information about the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm]. If I want to go to the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm] to gather Qi, I will have to ask her for help. I am the weaker party."

“In this situation, a qualified Holy Sect Master would definitely wait for the highest bidder to maximize profits, but she took the initiative to come to me.”

"There must be some ulterior motive behind doing this, and a very big one at that!"

"From the fact that she thought I would never agree to it, to the fact that she took the initiative to lower herself to come to me, the one in the superior position could only be trying to kill me!"

Master Tingyou listened with a tense expression:
"Isn't this just your suspicion? Most of it is just guesswork. You're shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target. You've been convinced from the beginning that she has ulterior motives towards you."

There are many plausible explanations for Lü Yang's problem. For example, Master Miaoyin might have lost her composure due to the death of Chongguang, or she might not have thought that much about it, or she might be worried that Lü Yang had already obtained information about the [Ten Thousand Martial Realms] because she had spoken face-to-face with True Monarch Feixue.
Lü Yang did not deny this.

After all, he did deduce the motive only after directly assuming that Master Miaoyin had other plans for him, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"You can never be too cautious when dealing with the Holy Sect Master!"

Lü Yang would only treat those whose cultivation level was lower than his, such as Lady Ruoxiang, with more casualness. However, Master Miaoyin was completely different from Lady Ruoxiang.

Because she is at the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

Moreover, as Chongguang's former Daoist partner, she has secretly acquired countless valuable items, and her magical prowess in a battle of magic is likely even greater than Ye Guyue's.

Lü Yang would never underestimate such a person.

"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't." Lü Yang pondered for a moment, then stood up: "I need to go to the Xianfa Pavilion. I need to make preparations beforehand."

The sea of ​​clouds stretches to the sky, and the Dao Mountain is heard from.

This is the Daoist temple of the Myriad Sounds Immortal. In the deepest part of the temple, the Myriad Sounds Immortal descended in a fragrant breeze and a beam of light, and then closed the temple.

This is because this palace is actually a superior spiritual treasure called the "Court of No Etiquette," which is similar in its mystique to Lü Yang's "Hidden Stars." Once the palace doors are closed, all cause and effect are hidden, and everything that happens inside is difficult to trace. Only a True Lord could possibly deduce it.

Inside the palace, the Venerable Miaoyin took out another round mirror.

The mirror was smooth. She reached out and gently wiped it, infusing it with her magic. Instantly, it reflected a dazzling light, revealing many scenes within the light.

Soon, a voice came from within:
"It's quite a coincidence that you're here to see me at this time, fellow Daoist."

His voice was clear and melodious, sounding like that of a scholar. When his image gradually appeared in the mirror, he was indeed a handsome young man.

"Request".

Master Miaoyin spoke calmly, saying softly, "I have found a top-grade Qi for you."

".oh?"

Upon hearing this, the young man named Suo Huan raised an eyebrow: "Top-grade, that's not something to be taken lightly. I wonder if the 'qi' you're referring to is an object or a person?"

"Of course it's a person!"

Master Miaoyin said softly, "After a hundred years of cultivation, one can reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment in one lifetime. Now, one is seeking the perfection of the mid-stage. Would you say this is the highest grade?"

Upon hearing this, Suo Huan narrowed his eyes: "Indeed, it is top-grade."
