<h4>Chapter 832: Chapter 830: Senior Sister, I Want to Have You</h4>


    The Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion all looked at Xu Wendong with bewildered eyes.


    No one expected Zhongli to actually ask for his opinion.


    After all, Zhongli was a Heavenly Pride among the younger generation of Jade Maiden Pce, renowned throughout the Nine Provinces.


    Usually, she was very aloof.


    And now, she was asking the opinion of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.


    How could this not be surprising?


    Xu Wendong felt a bit of a headache.


    He had feelings of both love and hate towards Zhongli.


    He was grateful to Zhongli for turning against the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion for him.


    But...


    Why are you now turning against me?


    Is it because I turned against you before?


    You are going to make the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion hate me!


    Although he was a bit displeased in his heart, Xu Wendong still politely said, "I’m sorry, fellow brothers, the Jiushi Huanhun Grass is crucial to me!"


    Seeing the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion’s faces darken, he added, "Since both sides want the Jiushi Huanhun Grass, why don’t we each disy our divine skills andpete fairly!"


    He didn’t want to sour rtions with the Sword Pavilion disciples, especially since Xu Fan was still in the Sword Pavilion and was its Bright Pearl.


    If the rtions with the Sword Pavilion soured, Xu Fan would also be in a difficult position.


    That’s something he didn’t want to see.


    Just as his voice trailed off, Zhongli’s voice rang in his mind, "I didn’t expect you to be so cunning, wanting to use me to deal with the Sword Pavilion people."


    Xu Wendong replied via soul transmission, "Once I acquire the Jiushi Huanhun Grass, I’m willing to unlock new positions with Senior Sister Zhong."


    Zhongli’s eyes brightened and she immediately looked at the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion, "Junior Brother Xu is right; if both sides want the Jiushi Huanhun Grass, then let’s showcase our divine skills andpete fairly!"


    She never regarded the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion, let alone Xu Wendong wanting to unlock new positions with her; the mere thought made her imagination run wild.


    Meng Hao squinted slightly, with a subtle coldness in his voice, "I do not deny Junior Sister Zhong’s strength, but could you possibly be a match for the disciples of our Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion?"


    "What about if I add this treasure?" Zhu Qing, full of timidity, produced arge bronze bowl. Although it looked unremarkable, it exuded a mysterious and ancient charm.


    Especially theplicated Dao patterns on it, indicating at a nce that it was no ordinary item.


    "You actually brought out this magic artifact?" a middle-aged man eximed, recognizing it as the inherited treasure of the Jade Maiden Pce, of immense power.


    Even if the seven of them joined hands, they would be invincible beneath the Golden Core Stage, but in the face of this treasure, they had no chance of winning.


    "Since Junior Brother Xu has set his eyes on that Jiushi Huanhun Grass, I advise you not to covet it," Zhu Qing said nervously.


    Though she had the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage, she had never fought anyone before.


    And had never seen so many men.


    "Let’s go!" Meng Hao said grimly. Although unwilling, he saw no way to snatch the Jiushi Huanhun Grass from them.


    Watching the seven leave in exasperation, Zhongli said, "Senior Brother Meng, his name is Xu Wendong, from the Elixir Sect!"


    Meng Hao turned and nced at Xu Wendong, his deep eyes showing no emotional fluctuation, "Xu Wendong, is it? I will remember that name!"


    Saying so, he turned and disappeared from Xu Wendong and the others’ view, along with the six junior brothers.


    "Senior Sister Zhong, what are you doing?" Xu Wendong said in frustration, feeling that he could have remained uninvolved in this matter.


    Now, not only was he not uninvolved, he was pushed into the spotlight, bing the focus of Sword Pavilion’s disciples.


    It was really annoying.


    "This is the price for making me beg you earlier!" Zhongli smiled enigmatically, not forgetting the scene where Xu Wendong made her plead with him for more strength.


    Xu Wendong was so enraged that his jaw ached, but the damage was done, and there was nothing he could do.


    "Senior Sister, you really shouldn’t have done that," Zhu Qing put away the magic artifact, feeling that Senior Sister was somewhat excessive.


    Zhongli frowned, "Junior Sister, you aren’t falling for Xu Wendong, are you? I’m telling you, even if we engage in dual cultivation with him, you must not fall in love. You should know the consequences of falling in love." Her tone became cold as she spoke.


    "No, no, no, I’m not in love," Zhu Qing said, lowering her head nervously.


    A big question mark arose in Xu Wendong’s heart.


    What did this mean?


    Did they merely want to have a friendship like Guan and Bao with him?


    How regrettable!


    "You two wait here, I’ll go pick the Jiushi Huanhun Grass!" Zhongli said, stepping lightly across the water and disappearing from Xu Wendong’s view.


    Xu Wendong looked at the golden rope on his wrist and shouted, "Senior Sister Zhong, aren’t you going to retrieve the magic artifact on me?"


    Zhongli said aloofly, "You may be disappointed, missy doesn’t need it!"


    Xu Wendong shrugged, feeling much more rxed now, as in front of Zhongli, he felt an inexplicable pressure.


    Now that she had left, Xu Wendong feltpletely at ease.


    He looked at the petite and charming Zhu Qing beside him and couldn’t help asking, "Senior Sister Zhu, why can’t the disciples of Jade Maiden Pce fall in love?"


    Being alone with a man, even though they had just engaged in dual cultivation, Zhu Qing still felt inexplicably nervous and uneasy.


    She instinctively stepped back two steps and whispered, "The cultivation technique of Jade Maiden Pce is called the Jade Maiden Technique, and practicing ites with a condition: one cannot fall in love. Otherwise, it will result in either deviation or soul disintegration."


    Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, "How can there be such a cultivation technique in the world? If one can’t fall in love while practicing it, what’s the difference between your disciples and nuns?"


    Zhu Qing shook her head, "I don’t know. Anyway, it’s a rule that every disciple of Jade Maiden Pce must follow."


    Xu Wendong suddenly said, "Senior Sister Zhu, I like you!"


    "What... what did you say?" Zhu Qing’s cheeks flushed, her eyes full of panic, and even her heartbeat uncontrobly quickened.


    "I said I like you," Xu Wendong smiled, looking at her, "I like your face, like your figure, like your unique scent, and I especially like the sound you make beneath me."


    "I want to be yourpanion in the mundane red dust, to see all the famous mountains and rivers with you, to traverse the Nine Provinces, and to spend the rest of our lives together."


    "No, don’t say that!" Zhu Qing eximed in panic.


    "Why don’t you let me say it?" Xu Wendong’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, "Are you afraid you will fall in love with me?"


    "I don’t know..." Zhu Qing said, lowering her head, afraid to meet Xu Wendong’s eyes.


    Xu Wendong sighed softly, "For us cultivators, the goal of this life is nothing but to attain immortality. It’s said that to achieve immortality, one must forget about the seven emotions and six desires, but... your Jade Maiden Pce’s technique prevents disciples from savoring the taste of love. Don’t you feel this is contrary to the goal of attaining immortality?"


    "Do you really think that once I withdraw from your body, you’ll be able to forget the past joy?"


    Looking at the woman’s bewildered expression, Xu Wendong gently lifted her chin, gazing at her affectionately, "Senior Sister, I wish to have you!"
