Chapter 1668 How about becoming the Vice Sect Master?
Holding the jade talisman given to her by Sect Leader Ye, Jin Man hurried along, following the directions to the desolate Falling Star Gorge.
She lingered in the depths of the valley for a moment, and the jade talisman in her hand began to heat up slightly, its spatial fluctuations resonating with a certain place ahead.
Immediately afterwards, the space in front of her rippled like water, and a silver light gate, just wide enough for one person to pass through, quietly appeared.
"Hmph, it's really well hidden!" Jin Man curled her lip and stepped into the portal without hesitation.
The scene before her eyes suddenly changed. The magnificent sect, suspended in the void, and the rich spiritual energy that rushed towards her, made even the well-informed Jin Man momentarily lose her composure. A hint of undisguised shock flashed in her beautiful eyes!
I never imagined that Mingchuan's spatial power had reached such a level. The sect he created with spatial power is simply... simply unheard of!
Even though she was from the Holy Domain before, she had never seen any sect in the Holy Domain like this!
Mingchuan... he truly is a new ray of light in the cultivation world.
Jinman was shocked for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
Because the figure that made her both angry and resentful, yet also filled with anticipation, was standing not far away. He seemed to have just come out of the Transmission Hall, and his face still showed some fatigue. When he saw her appear, he was clearly stunned for a moment.
“Mingchuan!!!”
Jin Man's pent-up anger and grievances suddenly found an outlet. Her eyebrows furrowed, and in a flash, she rushed in front of Ming Chuan, her slender finger almost poking his nose:
"You heartless little bastard! I was in Qingcheng Yufa Sect worrying about you, cleaning up your messes, and I almost got devoured by that old fox Su Hongzhen! And you, you're hiding here building up such a huge fortune, living a carefree life! You didn't even send me a single message! Have you already forgotten about me?!"
As she spoke, she grew angrier, her chest heaving, and her once charming and affectionate eyes now blazed with fury, which gave her a unique and captivating charm.
Mingchuan was a little stunned by her sudden outburst, especially when he looked at Jin Man, who, despite being dressed in simple and elegant clothes, still possessed natural beauty and whose cheeks were flushed with anger.
She differs slightly from the image of someone who always smiled charmingly and exuded allure in my memory, but her essence remains unchanged.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Jinman, let me explain..."
"What explanation is there!" Jinman interrupted him, but looking at Mingchuan's slightly tired and apologetic eyes, and glancing at the magnificent palace behind him and the disciples who were cultivating in the distance, she noticed them.
For some reason, most of the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated.
Well, at least the kid succeeded in the end, and didn't let her take the risk for nothing.
The anger on her face vanished as quickly as ice and snow melted away, replaced by a languid and alluring smile, as if the woman who had just erupted like a volcano was merely an illusion.
She gently tidied her not-too-messy sideburns, her eyes sparkling as she gave Mingchuan a reproachful glare, her voice regaining its unique, alluring softness:
"Hmph~ Fine, since you still have some conscience and made such a big fuss, I won't hold it against you."
She moved gracefully closer to Mingchuan, almost pressing herself against him, her breath sweet and fragrant.
"However... you may escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. You've made me suffer so much and fright, how do you plan to make it up to me, my dear brother?"
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently drew circles on Mingchuan's chest, her eyes ambiguous yet sly. In an instant, she transformed from a accusing, resentful woman back into the charming and shrewd Elder Jinman who knew how to use her advantages.
Mingchuan felt a chill run down his spine from her sudden change of expression and unexpected closeness. He coughed and took a half step back.
If his three wives found out, they'd skin him alive, boil him alive, and eat him right there!
"Jinman, it's so great that you could come. I'm short-staffed here, especially someone as knowledgeable and capable as you..."
"Oh?" Jin Man raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile. "So you're already making empty promises to me? Tell me, what kind of position are you planning to arrange for me? If it doesn't satisfy me..."
She drew out her words, making them sound threatening, but combined with her seductive gaze, they weren't really intimidating.
Mingchuan watched her quickly get into character and couldn't help but admire how fast she could change her expression and how clever she was.
He smiled, then said seriously, "How about the position of Vice Sect Master?"
Mingchuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Although he worried that his three wives might throw him into a latrine, Jin Man was now at the Nascent Soul stage, and she used to be from the Holy Domain...
He is currently facing some doubts about the Holy Land.
If Jinman could become the deputy sect leader, it would only benefit them, and would bring them no harm whatsoever.
Upon hearing this, Jin Man's eyes flashed with genuine surprise and satisfaction, but on the surface, she maintained a languid demeanor, gently covering half her face with her fan, revealing only her captivating eyes.
"Vice Sect Master? Sounds pretty good... You've got some conscience after all. From now on, I'll be relying on you, okay?"
She smiled radiantly, as if all the anxiety, anger, and risks she had faced before had been fully rewarded in this moment.
Moreover, she knew very well that Mingchuan's willingness to give her the position of vice sect leader was proof that Mingchuan was willing to take the "crime" of opposing the Holy Domain for her sake.
In the future, they can fight against the Holy Land together!
Her eyes darted around, scanning the magical void sect. Her gaze lingered for a moment on the sky where the outside world was faintly visible. Her tone was a mix of amusement and seriousness. "It seems that my pledge of allegiance wasn't a bad deal."
"Your sect is indeed remarkable. It cannot be found in the outside world, yet you are able to survey the entire Spirit Realm. You are truly impressive."
She toned down her overtly seductive manner, but her inherent charm remained undiminished. She addressed Mingchuan seriously, "Now that I'm in this position, I can't just sit here and eat for nothing. Tell me, my good sect leader, what troublesome task do you need me to handle?"
Her question was direct, demonstrating both her competence and her willingness to quickly integrate.
Mingchuan admired her straightforwardness and pragmatism, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "You've been to the Holy Realm before, so you know them best. In your opinion, what are they trying to achieve by going to such lengths to set up a scheme in the human realm, even going so far as to poison the Wolf King of the Northern Frontier? What is their ultimate goal?"
Mingchuan briefly explained the situation in the human realm to her.
When the Holy Land was mentioned, a hint of coldness and complexity flashed across Jin Man's charming eyes.
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "The Holy Domain... that place appears glamorous and has strict rules on the surface, but in reality, it is internally hierarchical and rife with ambition..."
