Chapter 2636: Chapter 2628: That’s What I Mean

Qian Zhong did not intend to avoid Xuanyuan Buqi, otherwise she wouldn’t be appearing now; she just didn’t want to be noticed by others.

Feng Jun, however, was a bit displeased, "Senior Buqi, this is my estate, your divine sense..."

Xuanyuan Buqi naturally understood that casually allowing one’s divine sense to enter someone else’s estate is rude behavior, but the so-called "rudeness" requires having a somewhat equal status in the first place; if the gap is too large, etiquette does not exist.

Can humans talk etiquette with ants? It’s impossible.

At Xuanyuan Buqi’s cultivation level, there truly aren’t many places worthy of his etiquette, so he ignored Feng Jun, the host.

It was only when the other party brought it up that he realized this issue, so he smiled, "Apologies, young friend, it wasn’t intentional... It’s rare for me to consider such matters in the lower realm."

"As long as the senior understands," Feng Jun didn’t have the capability to argue further and could only say, "My place here is not like the ordinary lower realms. There are more cultivators from the higher realms, and often people think of taking advantage of me because I’m weak, so I have to be mindful of setting rules."

These words were actually a soft yet firm reminder: Don’t think that just because you are a True Monarch from the Xuanyuan family, you can do as you please; there are many disciples from various great powers here with me.

"Oh, you actually have a space door here?" Xuanyuan Buqi’s reaction was quite jumpy; perhaps at the level of a True Monarch, everyone is used to not concealing their thoughts, "May I go in and take a look?"

"Just taking a look, that’s fine," Feng Jun nodded slightly, "Friend Ye Yu, please guide Senior Buqi in... Remember not to lose courtesy."

In truth, not going to personally welcome a True Monarch was already impolite, but since the other party was rude first, a proper response was not out of place — I didn’t invite you here; you wanted to come on your own.

Xuanyuan Buqi was indeed a bit unhappy, but the other party was also not an ordinary True Man — which True Man could make him take the initiative to come by? So he simply became even more free-spirited, "This little fellow... is actually a sword cultivator from the Ouye lineage?"

Although he was merely sensing casually, his vision was extraordinary, able to discern Mei Yeyu’s pedigree.

The Ouye lineage is known for forging weapons, and Mei Yeyu indeed hails from the Mei family of Sword Forging Peak.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Feng Jun, pointing in the direction of the bidirectional gate, "Young friend, where does that lead to?"

He didn’t feel reckless; at the White Pebble Beach full of cultivators, having such a bidirectional gate without special protection was indeed inviting discussion, wasn’t it?

"It leads to a small world," Feng Jun replied casually, "It’s quite desolate, not worth mentioning."

"It’s quite easy for small worlds to be obscured; to encounter a space door with such rules?" Xuanyuan Buqi’s vision was even higher than Qian Zhong’s, immediately noticing something amiss, "May I ask, young friend, can I go in and take a look?"

Feng Jun shook his head, "I don’t recommend you go in, great monarch."

"You don’t recommend I go?" True Monarch Buqi raised an eyebrow, asking in surprise, "Is there a reason?"

Qian Zhong spoke coldly, "If you leave a statement of ’life and death responsibility,’ you may enter."

"Is it very dangerous over there?" True Monarch Buqi grew even more curious, "However, this is just an avatar of mine, even if it’s lost, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"

"Even if you lose an avatar, it would still be quite a loss for you," Qian Zhong stated coldly, "Moreover, are you certain losing an avatar won’t affect your true self?"

True Monarch Buqi was taken aback, his mouth twitching slightly, "Could it be there’s a transcendent tribulation existence in there?"

An avatar in the Divine Spirit Stage is actually split from the true self, and losing one does have an effect on the true self; however, even at the Fusion Stage, one can’t deal significant damage to the true self through a Divine Spirit avatar.

But the Transcendence Tribulation Stage is different; a truly powerful transcendent tribulation stage can lock onto an avatar and erase the true self beyond space and time.

Feng Jun cleared his throat lightly, "True Monarch Buqi, this question... crosses the line."

"Alright," True Monarch Buqi also stopped asking further. The older one gets in the martial world, the more cautious one becomes, having seen more and thus understands the value of caution. Feng Jun understands that one should not randomly inquire about things one shouldn’t know; of course, the True Monarch understands this better, even if the one warning him is just a minor character.

Those who blindly clash without understanding the depths don’t usually last long.

However, his transition was quite natural. He looked at Qian Zhong again, "By the way, I asked you earlier, is Brother Wuyai still around?"

Qian Zhong frowned, "Is your family’s Brother Canglang fallen?"

True Monarch Canglang was among the Divine Spirit Stage cultivators who fell with those three True Sages, known to many outsiders, yet Xuanyuan Buqi felt a bit annoyed, "Whether he is fallen, what does it have to do with you?"

Qian Zhong rolled her eyes at him, "Then whether True Monarch Wuyai is still around, what does it have to do with you?"

"That’s not true!" Xuanyuan Buqi answered solemnly, "I got along very well with True Monarch Wuyai, just haven’t seen him for a long time. It’s rare to encounter another Divine Spirit from the Yao family, so can’t I inquire a bit?"

Qian Zhong waved his hand and replied lightly, "Getting along well, that’s what you say. I don’t know if it’s true or not. Since the Yao Family has hidden away, they won’t allow others to inquire casually!"

"Quite the troublemaker!" Xuanyuan Buqi was rather unceremonious to Qian Zhong. "So you inquire about True Sage Canglang, thinking the Xuanyuan Family has fallen and you can offend us as you please?"

"You were the first to offend me," Qian Zhong responded calmly. "I was merely following your example, and besides, the life and death of True Sage Canglang is something we’ve never been very sure about. What’s the harm in asking? The Xuanyuan Family isn’t afraid of people probing."

Xuanyuan Buqi furrowed his brows and then smiled, "It seems you have quite an opinion of me."

Qian Zhong coldly retorted, "If someone cuts in line when you’re buying items, would you still greet them with a smile?"

"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Buqi was first taken aback, then burst into laughter. "So that’s how it is, upset I cut your queue... This is quite amusing. Indeed, True Sage Canglang has fallen. Are you satisfied?"

"If you denied it, I might believe it a bit more," Qian Zhong was quite unkind. "The Xuanyuan Family has always been full of tricks."

"There’s nothing I can do then," Xuanyuan Buqi shrugged, responding indifferently.

"However, it’s definitely true the Xuanyuan Family suffered heavy losses," Qian Zhong spoke while staring at him. "Otherwise, just a True Sage of the Transformation Spirit Stage would suffice. Why would you need to come as a Divine Spirit?"

"That’s certain," Xuanyuan Buqi wasn’t angry but admitted frankly. "The top-grade Spirit Stones of the Xuanyuan Family aren’t blown in by the wind. If not for the urgent need to enhance the combat strength of the younger generation, why would I purchase three items at once?"

"Senior probably isn’t just buying for your own family, right?" Another female voice sounded—Yi Jue stepped forward, speaking eloquently. "If you were truly buying for your own family, you wouldn’t be so ostentatious."

Xuanyuan Buqi glanced at her, then paused in surprise. "Good heavens, so young and already at the Nascent Soul Peak. You must be Yi Jue? Indeed, talented people emerge with every generation. Rarely seen, not only high in cultivation level but also meticulous in thought... So tell me, who else am I buying for?"

Yi Jue shook her head, "How could I guess randomly? However, the Ancient Xiong Family... they might have a share?"

"Haha," Xuanyuan Buqi laughed. "The little girl truly dares to guess. You must know the Xuanyuan Family and the Xiong Family have differences."

Yi Jue pulled out top-secret pieces and waved them slightly. "It’s not a guess, it’s deduced."

"Impressive!" Xuanyuan Buqi gave a thumbs-up, smiling widely. "You can even deduce interactions between True Sages—such talent calls for you to join the Chess Sect."

"I’m not so gifted," Yi Jue shook her head, her face still expressionless. "But I can make assumptions. With assumptions, proof isn’t difficult."

Upon hearing her words, Xuanyuan Buqi suddenly froze, his eyes wide open, losing his usual confident demeanor. It took a long moment before he bitterly smiled and shook his head, "It seems I’ve underestimated you. Fortunately, I didn’t deny buying on behalf of the Xiong Family."

Feng Jun heard this and was somewhat dumbfounded: could this really be called "not denying"?

It had always been his belief that the powerful were dignified and solemn. Even if Yin Spirits were somewhat loquacious and Jing Ling occasionally acted silly, that was due to their personalities. But a mighty figure of the Xuanyuan Family actually quibbling and arguing over details was a bit unexpected.

Just then, Xuanyuan Buqi turned to look at him, speaking seriously, "The Xiong Family also wishes to buy a Magical Treasure but they are a Hidden Family, not convenient to come purchase, so they specially commissioned me to buy it on their behalf..."

He paused, seeing Feng Jun not react, then gave a thumbs-up.

"Truly composed, I have a good opinion of you... The Xiong Family also mentioned they had offended you before and are now actively working on your behalf. So whether to tell you the truth, is up to me to decide. And my thought is to avoid unnecessary trouble..."

"Since it can no longer be concealed, I’ll tell you the truth. But I never denied buying on behalf of the Xiong Family!"

"The Xuanyuan Family is always so shameless!" Qian Zhong was the first to express dissatisfaction, then she posed a question, "Isn’t there news saying the Xiong Family and the Xuanyuan Family haven’t been getting along?"

Xuanyuan Buqi rolled his eyes, shrugged helplessly in response, "No family can have just one voice. Take your Yao Family for example, does everyone agree to hide away?"

Qian Zhong had no words in response, only grudgingly acknowledging, "The disagreement between hiding or not... anyone could guess!"

Xuanyuan Buqi’s mouth moved slightly, but ultimately he said nothing.

Yi Jue, somewhat dissatisfied, spoke up, "Are the remaining two Magical Treasures both intended for the Xuanyuan Family’s own use?"

Xuanyuan Buqi looked at her, smiling broadly as he spoke, "You guess again, or perhaps keep deducing further?"

Yi Jue composed her face, speaking seriously, "If Senior can’t confirm, we might only sell you one item because... we won’t sell to the Lingmu Sect or the Wanhuan Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Buqi was taken aback, turning his head to look at Feng Jun, "Is that so?"

Feng Jun nodded, answering solemnly, "Immortal Yi Jue’s words are my stance."
