Hearing this...
Jiang Yuechu, who was just about to strike, paused slightly in her movements.
She raised an eyebrow, seemingly piqued with interest.
"Oh?"
"Who is this Senior Brother of yours?"
At the mention of her Senior Brother...
Junior Sister Xu, who had already closed her eyes to await death, found a sudden surge of strength from somewhere.
She actually snapped her eyes open.
Even though she was in a desperate situation, even though her clothes were in tatters...
When that name was mentioned...
Her face was still filled with pride. "Hmph!"
"If I say it... I'm afraid it'll scare the wits out of you!"
Junior Sister Xu lifted her head and shouted loudly, "My Senior Brother is a True Disciple of the Yujing Tower! The first disciple of the Chunyang Lineage!"
"The number one person of the Eastern Region's younger generation... Wang Canglan!!!"
In this Eastern Region territory, the three words 'Wang Canglan' were like the blazing sun hanging overhead.
It was enough to make any Cultivator of the same generation bow their head.
After Junior Sister Xu finished shouting this, although she was still curled up in the mud, her neck was held stiff and straight.
Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the Girl in Black Robes before her.
She seemed to want to see a trace of panic, or even just a hint of hesitation, on that face as cold and clear as jade.
However.
The wind passed through the treetops, and fallen leaves rustled.
The girl only tilted her head slightly.
In those indifferent eyes, let alone panic, not even a single ripple appeared.
She blinked, and her expression actually revealed a bit of bewilderment.
"Wang Canglan?"
Jiang Yuechu smacked her lips, as if savoring the name.
Then.
She lowered her head, looked at the expectant Junior Sister Xu, and asked, "Who is that? Is he very famous?"
"..."
Junior Sister Xu's eyes widened, her mouth agape, unable to close for a long while.
How is that possible?!
How could this be possible?!
It would be one thing for those ordinary Loose Cultivators with low Realms.
But the woman before her was clearly a great master of the Denglou Realm!
She could even crush Senior Brother Liu with ease; her strength was likely already above the seventh or eighth level of Tower Ascent.
How could such a figure have never heard of Wang Canglan's name?
He was the pillar of the Eastern Region's younger generation!
"You... you..."
Junior Sister Xu was choked with anger, her chest heaving violently, which aggravated her injuries and made her grimace in pain.
"You dare... you dare to slight my Senior Brother like this?!"
"Do you truly not know, or are you just playing dumb?!"
Jiang Yuechu curled her lip. "Does your Senior Brother know you're here bragging like this?"
"The number one person of the Eastern Region's younger generation..."
She gave a light scoff and shook her head. "If he truly were such a brilliant and talented figure, how could he have such a... well, such a trashy Junior Sister like you?"
"You... you're talking nonsense!"
Junior Sister Xu shrieked, ignoring the pain in her body as she struggled to sit up.
"I... I'm just..."
She gritted her teeth, eyes brimming with tears, as she defended herself loudly.
"I have only cultivated in the mountains since childhood and have never experienced the slaughter of the Mortal World! Senior Brother said my talent is one in ten thousand! As long as... as long as I'm given time! As long as I'm allowed to practice for a few hundred more years, until my state of mind reaches Perfection and my techniques reach Major Achievement..."
Junior Sister Xu stared fixedly at Jiang Yuechu, her eyes full of defiance.
"By then... you might not be my match!"
Hearing such childish words...
Jiang Yuechu almost burst out laughing.
However.
Seeing the other party's desperate attempt to prove herself, Jiang Yuechu's heart stirred.
This silly girl doesn't seem very bright. If I can squeeze some details about that Wang Canglan out of her... knowing oneself and the enemy is the only way to be victorious in every battle.
After all, he is a Prodigy famous in the Eastern Region; his strength must not be underestimated.
With this thought...
Jiang Yuechu restrained the mockery on her face and adopted a skeptical expression. "Anyone can talk. Who can't use their mouth?"
"I'll ask you this: since you say your Senior Brother is number one under heaven and has peerless talent,"
"Then why..."
"Why would he go to such great lengths to refine this wretched exquisite dream flower pill?"
"A true Prodigy breaks through Realms like drinking water. Why would they need external help?"
"Even relying on dreaming to recultivate a lifetime..."
Jiang Yuechu curled her lip with a face full of disdain.
"In my view, that Senior Brother of yours is likely a useless person who doesn't live up to his name."
"He probably only managed to scramble for a reputation by relying on these kinds of crooked paths."
"Shut up!!!"
Upon hearing this, Junior Sister Xu instantly flew into a rage.
You could insult her, but you absolutely could not insult the god-like Senior Brother in her heart!
"What do you know?! We Cultivators act against the heavens; it's only natural to use whatever means we have!"
"Besides..."
She took a deep breath and retorted loudly, as if to defend her Senior Brother's dignity.
"Senior Brother cultivates the 'Nine Revolutions Pure Yang Golden Canon'! This Cultivation Technique is overbearingly peerless, the ultimate Yang of the ultimate hard, a supreme method that points directly to the Dao!"
"It's just..."
At this point, Junior Sister Xu's voice lowered slightly. "It's just that this technique is too fierce. When reaching Perfection, the Pure Yang Qi in the body becomes too excessive. Without the harmony of Yin and Yang, there is the disaster of self-immolation!"
"Ordinary Cultivators, if they encountered such a Bottleneck, would probably only be able to wait for death."
"Only Senior Brother!"
A trace of fanaticism flashed in Junior Sister Xu's eyes.
"Only a person of great perseverance and wisdom like Senior Brother could come up with this method of Entering the Dao Through Dreams!"
"Using the Yin of the dream's Reincarnation to harmonize the Yang of the Physical Body in the current world!"
"When Yin and Yang aid each other, and the Dragon and Tiger converge..."
She lifted her chin and looked at Jiang Yuechu with a face full of pride.
"At that time, Senior Brother can ascend to heaven in a single step and achieve the Chess Master Realm!"
"Such spirit, such methods—how could a frog in a well like you understand?!"
After listening to this...
Jiang Yuechu narrowed her eyes slightly.
So that was it.
After all that rambling...
Wasn't it just saying that Wang Canglan's Cultivation Technique currently had a massive flaw?
Extreme Yang without harmony leads to the disaster of self-immolation.
Doesn't that mean that right now, this so-called number one Prodigy of the Eastern Region doesn't dare to casually fight with others?
With this thought...
She continued to ask, "Since your Senior Brother is so powerful, yet doesn't dare to easily use his full strength, otherwise he risks self-immolation,"
"With him being so timid and overcautious, how is he going to avenge you?"
"Uh..."
Junior Sister Xu was stunned by the question.
It was true.
Given Senior Brother's current state, he indeed could not easily take action.
Even if he displayed just a few points of his true ability, there was the risk of the Pure Yang Qi rebounding and causing him to catch fire.
It's just... she was just about to say something more to defend her Senior Brother.
The words reached her lips, but she suddenly swallowed them back down.
Wait!
Junior Sister Xu suddenly looked up, staring fixedly at the Girl in Black Robes, her eyes full of shock and anger.
"You're tricking me for information?!"
Tsk... she realized it.
Jiang Yuechu curled her lip in a slightly bored manner.
She had wanted to ask more about other things.
But now that this silly girl had caught on, it probably wouldn't be that easy.
However... knowing this much was already enough.
Wang Canglan's technique was flawed, and he couldn't easily take action right now.
That meant there was no need to worry about this person's revenge in the short term.
By the time he compensated for the flaws in his technique...
She would likely have already stepped into the next Realm.
At that time, this so-called number one Prodigy of the Eastern Region would be nothing more than a stray dog on the roadside that she could crush at will.
The few traces of worry that had remained in her heart vanished into thin air.
Seeing Jiang Yuechu remain silent, Junior Sister Xu assumed her intentions had been exposed and was both ashamed and angry. "Bad woman... you're a bad woman... I'm so stupid, really, I should have thought of it sooner..."
Facing the girl's questioning...
Jiang Yuechu only looked over calmly.
Could it be that because she was good-looking... this girl thought she was a good person?
Stop making your Big Sister Jiang laugh... ---
