Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 179: A Scheme

“Don’t act innocent anymore, Yan Meixu,” Su Mingxia snorted as she continued, “Yang Wei isn’t here with us so there’s no point in hiding it.”

Yan Meixu raised an eyebrow as she held an innocent expression. “What does Yang Wei have to do with this topic?”

Su Mingxia’s expression darkened as she showed her fiery aura that seemed to surround the entire office.

The atmosphere became constricted and it was easy to say that any ordinary person coming in here would suffocate if they didn’t have a barrier to defend themselves.

However, despite all these circumstances, Yan Meixu still remained calm and didn’t seem to have any trouble breathing.

Su Mingxia sneered when she got her answer already. “Still planning on hiding your true cultivation base?”

Yan Meixu covered her mouth slowly and giggled, “Ai~ why are you so fierce when I didn’t mean any harm toward you at all.”

“That’s because I can tell you are scheming against Yang Wei.”

“What do you mean by scheming against Yang Wei? I meant him no harm at all.”

Su Mingxia wrinkled her brows as she would be a fool to believe a single word from Yan Meixu.

“If you didn’t plan to do Yang Wei any harm then why would you lie about being forced to marry someone and needed help?” Su Mingxia asked. 

She was sure that Yan Meixu’s cultivation base was not lower than hers, in fact, Su Mingxia could feel that Yan Meixu was slightly stronger than her.

Hence, it was questionable and suspicious that Yan Meixu would need a helper in dealing with some second-in-command family in the Ling City.

Just a flick of her finger was enough to annihilate the entirety of the Wang Clan.

“Fufu, what fun would there be if I had to act against them, Su Mingxia? As a Nascent Soul realm cultivator such as yourself, don’t you feel it’s a little overboard or beneath you to get your hands dirty on some lowlife?” Yan Meixu giggled as she continued.

“I wished to find a knight in shining armor myself and someone who is genuinely trying to help me.”

“Well then, I’m afraid you would have to look for another person because that knight in shining armor wouldn’t be Yang Wei.” 

Yan Meixu tapped her finger lightly on the desk as she heard Su Mingxia’s tone was becoming colder and harsher.

However, she wasn’t mad nor bothered by her tone of speech. In fact, she was amused by Su Mingxia’s attitude and behavior in this situation.

“Why? Did you fall for that boy’s charming look- no that wouldn’t be the case since almost all cultivators are handsome like him.” Yan Meixu shook her head as she rebuked her own reasoning.

Instead, she continued with a smirk and said, “Maybe, you fell for his personality as he is truly different from the rest.”

“That is none of your business to pry,” Su Mingxia hissed as she slammed the desk with her palm.

The palm was filled with spiritual qi as it created a crack in Yan Meixu’s desk.

It created a loud sound that the waitress asked from the outside in concern, “Y-Young madam, are you alright?”

“Everything is fine here, do not panic over such small details and keep guard,” Yan Meixu said in reply as she kept her gaze at Su Mingxia.

She was getting more and more interested in Yang Wei’s relationship with Su Mingxia.

‘A Qi Condensation realm boy was able to make a Nascent Soul realm to be this protective. What kind of secret does that boy hold?’ Yan Meixu exclaimed inwardly.

She felt her heart beating rapidly as she wanted to find out Yang Wei’s background and identity.

She had never felt so excited about a matter in a long time. 

Su Mingxia was disgusted by the sudden appearance of Yan Meixu who seemed to be thirsting for a man.

“W-What the hell? Are you some kind of pervert?” Su Mingxia asked as she moved a little bit away from her.

Yan Meixu cleared her throat softly when she realized her thought process was being revealed on the surface.

It took only a few seconds for her to return to being a calm and beautiful woman.

“My apologies, I lost my cool for a second,” Yan Meixu then apologized as she decided to keep her fantasy thoughts to herself.

Su Mingxia snorted as she warned her in a cold tone, “I don’t care what you are scheming or trying to do in the Ling City but I will tell you one thing only- stay away from us.”

Afterward, she stood up and opened the door as she left the room.

Sometime later, the waitress walked into the room and asked, “What happened to Su Mingxia? She seemed to be very frustrated and angry for some reason.”

However, the waitress soon shuddered as she felt Yan Meixu’s cold glare.

“I-I’m sorry young madam, I shouldn’t have said anything,” The waitress quickly knelt down as she begged for forgiveness.

“Sigh, it’s fine, the little girl simply made me more interested in Yang Wei so quickly sent people to work on the investigation,” Yan Meixu waved her hand to dismiss the waitress.

The waitress quickly nodded as left the room to do the task that she just got assigned.

The door closed as Yan Meixu took a deep breath. “How long have I been intrigued by a person?”

Yan Meixu smiled in a blissful mood as she glanced at the person with a face attached and a name next to it, Wang Jang.

“An old man like you wished to take me as a concubine.” Yan Meixu curled her lips upward as she held a menacing aura.

She crumpled the paper and threw it in a trash bin. “Originally, I was going to have your limbs cut off and stuff your mouth with your own organs. But you lucked out this time, Wang Jang.”

She then stood up and stared outside from the window. “Fufu, my knight in shining armor… how would you solve this crisis of mine?”
