Incarnation of a Sick Girl
In the end, Chu Jiuning chose not to say anything. After all, in a few days, the King of Sea Yue An would come to find her, and it was likely that Jun Xu would have to take the initiative to meet her.
Sure enough, five days later, Hong Yin came to find her while she was diligently working in the Menial Tasks Department. She cleared her throat and said, “Xiao Xue, someone is looking for you.”
A smug smile appeared on Chu Jiuning’s lips as she put down the tools in her hands and straightened her posture.
“Oh, then let’s go. Let’s meet Master, no, Sect Leader!”
Hong Yin looked at her as if she was crazy. “But it’s not the Sect Leader who is looking for you. Why would you want to meet the Sect Leader?”
Chu Jiuning: ???
“But isn’t it the King of Sea from the Sea Clan who is looking for me? Such a prominent figure should be received by the Sect Leader personally, shouldn’t he?”
Hong Yin rolled her eyes. “The King of Sea didn’t say he wanted to meet the Sect Master, so why should the Sect Master rush to meet him? Do you think it’s easy to meet the Sect Master of the First Immortal Sect? Moreover, I, as the Grand Elder, personally came to inform you, which is already giving you face, isn’t it?”
Chu Jiuning pursed her lips and sighed. “All right, please lead the way, Grand Elder.”
On the way, Hong Yin turned back several times, looking at Chu Jiuning, who was wrapped up like a mummy, with a speechless expression.
Finally, she couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Xue, didn’t I remove the baldness curse for you? Why do you still dress like this every day?”
She was truly an eyesore!
Chu Jiuning, who only revealed her eyes and mouth, chuckled. “Because I think it’s super cool! I like it!”
Hong Yin twitched her mouth. Did this child’s sense of aesthetics fall into the gutter? She actually thought she looked super cool in this ghostly appearance.
She couldn’t help but shake her head in disbelief.
When Hong Yin brought Chu Jiuning to the reception hall and greeted them, she left.
For a while, the spacious reception hall was only occupied by Chu Jiuning and the King of Sea Yue An.
Yue An looked at her and said, “Five days have passed. I wonder if Miss Xuanyuan is ready to set off and help me find my brother’s Dragon Soul?”
Chu Jiuning shook her head. Yue An furrowed his brows slightly and squinted his eyes. “What does Miss Xuanyuan want?”
Chu Jiuning raised an eyebrow, considering him cooperative.
“I was originally Jun Xu’s direct disciple, but due to some misunderstandings, my Master has now demoted me to an outer disciple. Xuanyuan Xue humbly requests the King of Sea help me plead with my Master to let me regain my position as his direct disciple.”
As she spoke, she knelt down on one knee, clasping her fists in front of Yue An.
If she couldn’t regain her position as Jun Xu’s direct disciple, she wouldn’t be able to see Jun Xu in person all year round. How could she conquer him?
If she couldn’t conquer him, she wouldn’t be able to complete her mission. How could she return to the Quick Transmigration Bureau?
Yue An’s expression became serious for a moment. “Can Miss Xuanyuan tell me what exactly the misunderstanding between you and Lord Jun Xu is?”
Umm… Chu Jiuning coughed lightly, feeling guilty, and stared at the ground.
“King of Sea, it was my momentary confusion that led me to do some inappropriate things, which made my Master very angry. But I truly realize my mistake, and I promise I won’t repeat it. I hope you can help me! If you help me, I will do my best to find the Dragon Soul of the former King of Sea!”
She absolutely didn’t mean to threaten Yue An. She just wanted to repay his favor.
Yue An naturally knew that this was an internal matter of the First Immortal Sect. It would be inappropriate for him, an outsider, to interfere.
But in order to find his brother’s Dragon Soul as soon as possible, he would even give up his pride.
Watching Yue An being led by Hong Yin to meet Jun Xu, Chu Jiuning revealed a satisfied smile.
With the King of Sea personally acting as her intermediary, this matter was settled!
She sat in the reception hall, waiting for Yue An to return, while planning her new strategy to conquer Jun Xu in her mind.
After half an hour, Yue An returned. Chu Jiuning looked at him with joy on her face. “How is it? Did my Master agree to let me go back?”
Hong Yin, who stood behind Yue An, rolled her eyes dramatically.
“What are you daydreaming about? The Sect Master asked me to give you a message. Don’t think that just because you have some connections with the eight leaders of various clans, someone will support you and act as your intermediary. Even if the founder of the First Immortal Sect comes back, it won’t work!”
After speaking, Hong Yin snorted coldly and walked away.
Huh? Did he actually fail? Chu Jiuning looked at Yue An in disbelief.
Yue An sighed lightly, feeling somewhat apologetic as he lowered his head. “I did my best. Miss Xuanyuan can only wait for some time and see if Lord Jun Xu will change his mind.”
Oh no! Did he really fail? Chu Jiuning bit her lip. She knew very well that Jun Xu’s determination was not so easily swayed. That’s why she needed a backup plan!
She smiled faintly at Yue An. “Can King of Sea promise me one more thing?”
Yue An immediately frowned. If it weren’t for her help in finding his brother’s Dragon Soul, he would have exploded.
Suppressing his displeasure, he coldly asked, “What else does Miss Xuanyuan want me to do?”
He thought she wanted him to help her plead with Jun Xu again.
When did he, the mighty King of Sea, stoop so low to beg others?
She simply didn’t regard him, the King of Sea, as important.
Chu Jiuning walked gracefully towards him and said, “Although the King of Sea in the First Immortal Sect cannot intervene on my behalf, can’t you speak with absolute authority among the Sea Clan?”
Yue An, with a cautious gaze, asked, “What exactly does Miss Xuanyuan want?”
She lifted her chin slightly, took a deep breath, and respectfully said, “I wish to become your disciple and learn the power of the Sea Clan. I hope you will not refuse to teach me!”
Yue An furrowed his brows and remained silent for a while. “So, you plan to leave the First Immortal Sect and join Sea Clan?”
She shook her head, “That’s not what I meant. I only want to learn the power of the Sea Clan from you. Apart from us, there is no need for others to know. Of course, in the future, I will be half a member of the Sea Clan and share its glory and shame!”
Hmph! Talking about becoming his disciple and sharing the glory and shame of the Sea Clan, it was clear that she wanted to exchange it for the power of the Sea Clan.
In order to retrieve her brother’s Dragon Soul, he could only reluctantly agree.
Lu Jiuning revealed a joyful smile and extended her hand, saying, “Then let us make an oath!”
Hmph! Was she afraid that he wouldn’t wholeheartedly impart his knowledge to her, and thus wanted to make an oath with him?
But what else could he do? He could only extend his thumb and press it against hers, making a solemn vow.
“Now, Miss Xuanyuan can set off to find my brother’s Dragon Soul, right?”
Lu Jiuning nodded with a smile, “King of Sea, please wait for me a moment. I will tidy up and come back.”
Watching her lively figure bounce away, Yue An let out a long sigh.
On the way, Little Snowman asked, “Master, it seems like you plan to become the disciple of the other seven powerful figures as well. Aren’t you afraid they will discover your true identity as the real Lu Jiuning and kill you?”
A mischievous smile appeared on Lu Jiuning’s lips.
“Seeing how determined Jun Xu is to prevent me from becoming his direct disciple, I can’t just sit back and let the mission stagnate, can I? Since he won’t give me the opportunity, I’ll take matters into my own hands! Once I have mastered all eighteen martial arts of the eight powerful figures, will Jun Xu still be my match? At that time, I will transform into a possessive woman, imprison him, and indulge in pleasure day and night. I don’t believe he can remain indifferent forever!”
