Chapter 159 Accompanying in Secret

"Wei Jing, you did a good job today!"

Just as Bao Weijing had predicted, Bao Xinxian immediately praised his performance.

"Thank you for the compliment, Father."

In the past, Bao Weijing would have been very excited to receive praise from Bao Xinxian.

But at the moment, Bao Weijing seemed quite indifferent.

He knew very well that his progress was entirely due to Xu Ning.

Seeing that Bao Weijing was not enthusiastic towards him, Bao Xinxian understood the reason.

He didn't really pay much attention to Bao Weijing on a regular basis.

"Wei Jing, your performance today was outstanding. Even Lord Fang Jie of Yue Lan Sect praised you. The family elders are preparing to train you. In a few days, the family will organize outstanding juniors to go into the mountains to hunt monsters, and you have been selected to participate."

Bao Xinxian smiled and said, "This operation will be led by Elder Bao Xinxuan, so you should prepare well."

Bao Xinxian and Bao Xinxuan are of the same generation, but Bao Xinxuan is more talented and has already reached the Void Realm. Therefore, he was promoted by Bao Qiuhua and is the youngest elder of the Bao family.

"Yes, Father."

Bao Weijing was initially moved, but then responded with neither humility nor arrogance.

Seeing that Bao Weijing was rather cold towards him, Bao Xinxian forced a smile again: "If you need anything when you are practicing martial arts in the future, remember to ask me for help."

"understood."

Bao Weijing's aloofness made Bao Xinxian feel very uncomfortable.

"It seems the only way to repair the relationship is through slow and careful planning..."

Bao Xinxian thought to himself.

After exchanging a few more casual words, Bao Xinxian took the initiative to leave.

"As expected, the family is starting to value me more..."

Bao Weijing smiled slightly: "I need to tell Senior Tao this news..."

Afterwards, Bao Weijing left the martial arts arena, left the Bao family residence, and prepared to go to Zuichun Pavilion.

"Um?"

As soon as he stepped outside, Bao Weijing suddenly realized that someone was following him.

He has now advanced to the Mind Realm, and his perception is much stronger than before.

"It must be the person who attacked me before, monitoring my movements..."

After weighing the options, Bao Weijing ultimately decided not to expose him, as he didn't want to alert the enemy for the time being.

Bao Weijing simply used his agility to shake off the people watching him and finally went to Zuichun Pavilion.

At the counter of Zuichun Pavilion, Bao Weijing inquired about Xu Ning's address.

After simply stating "Senior Tao," Bao Weijing was led to Xu Ning's room, clearly indicating that Xu Ning had informed the shopkeeper in advance.

"Greetings, Senior Tao!"

When Bao Weijing met Xu Ning, he bowed respectfully.

"Great progress, you've already advanced to the Mind Realm."

Xu Ning looked at Bao Weijing with a satisfied expression.

Upon seeing this, Bao Weijing felt a sense of relief.

Compared to Bao Xinxian's previous praise, Xu Ning's compliment excited Bao Weijing even more.

"Senior Tao, I have advanced to the Mind Realm thanks to your elixir."

Bao Weijing said, "Today, during the family's juniors' competition, I performed exceptionally well thanks to my improved strength, which has caught the attention of the family's higher-ups. They not only allowed me to participate in the elite juniors' monster combat training, but Fang Jie, a true disciple of the Yue Lan Sect, also praised me."

"Yue Lan Zong Fang Jie?"

Xu Ning looked surprised upon hearing this.

"Yes, Senior Tao."

Bao Weijing hurriedly explained, "Fang Jie has been here for some time now. The family elders value him highly. Today, as he watches the younger disciples' sparring, the family's higher-ups have been accompanying him the whole time."

"So that's how it is..."

Xu Ning nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, Xu Ning realized that the Void Realm Eighth Level Martial Master he had sensed in the Bao Mansion that day was Fang Jie.

"I knew it! How could a subordinate family of the Yue Lan Sect have such a powerful expert here? It turns out it's Fang Jie..."

Xu Ning had learned about Fang Jie.

Fang Jie and He Mingye are both Void Realm Eighth Level Martial Masters, but He Mingye's secret techniques are more advanced, which is why he has the upper hand over Fang Jie.

"Fang Jie has come here today, presumably regarding Bao Ruyuan's matter..."

Xu Ning quickly guessed the truth.

Seeing Xu Ning deep in thought, Bao Weijing also remained silent and said no more.

"Shouldn't your hunting of demonic beasts be led by an elder of the clan?"

Xu Ning pondered for a moment before asking another question.

"It was led by Bao Xinxuan, an elder of the clan, who is a Void Realm Martial Master."

Bao Weijing told everything he knew.

"I see..."

Xu Ning nodded: "When do you depart?"

"That's unclear at the moment..."

Bao Weijing frowned slightly and replied.

"Tell me when you find out the departure date, and I will secretly accompany you."

Xu Ning said.

Xu Ning had been trying to infiltrate the Bao family, but he failed because of Fang Jie's presence.

Now that some clan elders have gone out, Xu Ning felt that this was a breakthrough opportunity that could be seized.

"Understood, Senior Tao."

Bao Weijing quickly responded.

He didn't ask any more questions, but he knew that Xu Ning probably had a plan targeting the family behind him.

However, Bao Weijing didn't care about this. He only wanted to become stronger and repay what he had suffered twice over.

"By the way, have you encountered any danger while in the manor recently?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"no."

Bao Weijing said, "But when I left the manor today, someone was following me, but I managed to shake them off."

"Take care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, you can come to me for help anytime."

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he took out a few more porcelain bottles.

This porcelain bottle contains the elixirs that Xu Ning has prepared for Bao Weijing these past few days.

"These are the pills I prepared for you. After taking them, they will help you accelerate your cultivation and advance to the Spiritual Realm as soon as possible."

Xu Ning's words made Bao Weijing's heart pound.

The Realm of Inspiration—that's the ninth level of the mortal realm!

If I were to advance to the ninth level of the mortal realm, I would be qualified to compete for the position of family head, even in a large family like the Bao family.

"Thank you very much, Senior Tao!"

Bao Weijing tremblingly accepted the porcelain bottle.

"This Senior Tao is definitely not an ordinary Void Realm martial artist!"

At this moment, Bao Weijing realized that he had underestimated Senior Tao.

There were also Void Realm Martial Masters in his own family. Although Bao Weijing did not know much about them, he knew that no one in the Bao family could produce a pill with such an effect.

"I will definitely live up to my seniors' expectations!"

Bao Weijing gripped the porcelain bottle tightly.

……

at this time.

The Bao family.

Madam Quan was in a terrible predicament.

Because, just now, the housekeeper brought her bad news.

Bao Weijing, whom she wanted to eliminate, had actually advanced to the Mind Realm. Moreover, due to his outstanding performance, he was praised by the elders of the family and was allowed to go into the mountains with the elite disciples to hone his skills. This made Madam Quan extremely worried.

She was almost certain that Bao Weijing would follow Fang Jie into the Yuelan Sect, achieve something, and then turn around and take revenge on her.

"Madam, what should we do?"

At this point, the butler was also getting anxious.

Madam Quan did not respond; her expression was unpredictable.

After a long silence, Madam Quan gritted her teeth and said, "Take out the ten Pure Origin Pills that I have treasured."

"what?"

The butler was taken aback.

These ten Pure Origin Pills were treasures that Madam Quan had brought from her maiden home; they were arguably her most precious possessions.

Even her husband, Bao Xinxian, was unaware of the existence of these ten Pure Origin Pills.

This is the most precious card in Madam Quan's hand.

"Won't Elder Bao Xinxuan lead the mountain trial in a few days?"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Madam Quan's face: "Give him these ten Pure Origin Pills and let him help us get rid of that brat Bao Weijing."

Bao Xinxuan was arrogant and ruthless. Even before he reached the Void Realm, he had already caused a lot of trouble.

At that time, Madam Quan had helped him and they had some relationship.

Later, she also asked Bao Xinxuan to help her with some behind-the-scenes favors, and the two of them knew some of each other's dirty secrets.

"Madam, this..."

The steward hesitated, "Isn't it a bit too much of a price to pay with ten Pure Origin Pills just to eliminate a junior in the mortal realm...?"

"It might not be worth it, but Bao Weijing has grown too fast recently, and I'm afraid we won't be able to control him. Even if he doesn't find out what we did to his mother, we will always live in his shadow."

Madam Quan's attitude was very firm.

"Understood, madam."

Seeing Madam Quan's attitude, the butler quickly took action.

Several more days passed.

On this day, a group of people left the city from the Bao family home.

The leader was Bao Xinxuan, and there were several guards at the ninth level of the mortal realm.

The rest were the elite members of the Bao family, a total of more than a dozen people, including Bao Weijing.

Today, they will venture into the mountains to hunt monsters and undergo trials.

While the other disciples were feeling nervous, Bao Weijing remained calm.

Because he knew very well that Senior Tao would secretly accompany him when he left the city today.

"Madam Quan is truly generous..."

At this moment, Bao Xinxuan, riding a tall horse with the bloodline of a demon beast, inadvertently glanced at Bao Weijing.

"To deal with such a mere mortal junior, they're actually willing to pay the price of ten Pure Origin Pills, tsk tsk..."

Bao Xinxuan revealed a strange smile.

The steward had previously approached Bao Xinxuan and explained Madam Quan's intentions.

Although Bao Xinxuan was surprised, he gladly accepted the suggestion.

He could obtain ten Pure Origin Pills by casually eliminating a junior in the mortal realm, which he considered extremely worthwhile.

Although Bao Weijing was a junior member of the same clan, Bao Xinxuan had no psychological barriers whatsoever.

He was ruthless and had no sense of right or wrong. In his early years, he was a troublemaker and made enemies everywhere. If it weren't for the Bao family protecting him, he would have been killed a hundred times over.

"Once we're inside the mountains, we'll make some elaborate arrangements, then secretly eliminate him, and finally stage a fake monster attack. That way, we'll not only get the Pure Origin Pill, but we also won't arouse suspicion..."

Bao Xinxuan had already planned out his move.

A group of people was still galloping.

Bao Xinxuan was unaware that someone was secretly accompanying him all the way.

"What a coincidence..."

Xu Ning, who was hiding in the shadows, smiled behind his mask when he saw Bao Xinxuan, the leader.

Xu Ning recognized the man as the burly man who had knocked him unconscious and brought him to Jifeng Prefecture.

Thank you to Mr. Wang, you guys are so cheeky, and book friend 20171218093619408 for the generous donations!
