Every time she thought of that, Li Xianer would lose all her courage. She did not know what to say to her master.
Li Xianer also understood that her master did not come to the secular world in person just to have a meal with her. The sect must have given her a lot of pressure. That was why she had gone to the Hong Family to help her look for someone.
Alas! It seemed that if she did not do something serious this time, not only would it be difficult for her to explain to her master, she might even be punished!
She might as well go look for someone! At worst, after she found a suitable candidate, she would tell them the consequences and dangers of participating in the ritual and let them choose for themselves whether to participate or not!
After thinking it through, Li Xianer stood up, packed up the things in the room, and decisively went out to carry out the mission. On one hand, she did not want to disappoint her master again, and on the other hand, she had nowhere to turn now. She could only brace herself and go on.
Hong Zhu, who was carrying the mission of looking for someone, had just settled Song Huawu and the other girls down. He told them that he would be away for a few days because he had something to do. He would ask the Hong Family's intelligence network to help him look for Xiao Chen.
As for Jin Beibei, Song Huawu, and Xiao Xiao, because they were not familiar with the people and the place in the Inner Martial Arts World, and because Song Huawu had not recovered from the shock of suddenly learning about her parentage, Hong Zhu reminded them to stay in the Hong Family's house for the next two days and not to go out, in case they ran into any accidents and he could not come back in time to rescue them.
After taking care of the matters here, Hong Zhu hurried back to his base camp, the Hong Family of the Outer Martial Arts World.
She came back here to prepare to meet with an important person and tell her something very important.
This matter concerned the future of the entire Immortal Cultivation Sect. The decision of this person after hearing the news might affect the direction Hong Zhu would choose to take in the future.
After returning to the Hong Family, Hong Zhu did not bother to greet other people. He directly walked to a very remote room in the backyard.
"Hong Zhu, you haven't been here for a long time. I almost can't remember what you look like!" Hearing the commotion outside the room, a woman in white slowly walked out of the room and said with a smile.
As soon as the woman walked out, the sunlight in the courtyard seemed to brighten a little. Her beautiful face was not made up, but it was as fresh and refined as the morning clouds reflecting the snow. Her bright eyes looked as pure and innocent as a young deer, but they also revealed a hint of charm. She was clearly wearing a loose white robe, and when she moved, she was like a weak willow swaying in the wind, which made her figure even more exquisite and attractive.
The leaves rustled, and her hair fluttered in the wind, but it was not messy at all. Instead, it made her look lively and perfect.
"Jingxuan, don't forget that I've also learned seduction techniques! Your shoddy martial arts clearly have no effect on me. You should properly cultivate for a period of time! "Hong Zhu said in an indifferent manner.
Although he said that, Hong Zhu's gaze subconsciously shifted to the side, not daring to look straight into Shen Jingxuan's eyes. He could feel his heart thumping wildly in his chest.
Although Hong Zhu had no interest in women, just now, he had truly felt his heart 'move'!
Shen Jingxuan's angelic face already had an extremely great lethality to men. If she could pair it with her natural charm and display this kind of secret seduction technique, it would be able to stimulate a man's most primal urges! Even Hong Zhu, who had cultivated seduction techniques, felt that he was a little unable to resist.
Hong Zhu couldn't help but feel lucky that he had made preparations in advance and arranged for Shen Jingxuan to live alone in the most secluded room in the Hong Residence. She was strictly forbidden from going out, and no other family members were allowed to set foot in that room. Daily chores such as meals were handed over to his personal maidservants to assist her, depriving her of any chance to meet with anyone else.
Otherwise, with Shen Jingxuan's astonishing cultivation speed, coupled with her own superior conditions, let alone taking her out to defeat an enemy, even within the family, a storm of blood might be stirred up because of her!
Just as he rejoiced, Hong Zhu suddenly thought of the topic he was about to discuss with Shen Jingxuan and suddenly felt a little unnatural.
After all, this matter was related to the safety of the entire Immortal Cultivation Sect, and it was also closely related to Shen Jingxuan's future. Unfortunately, he had never told her about it before, so Hong Zhu really didn't know how to bring it up.
"Is there really no effect? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you? "Shen Jingxuan smiled faintly as she teased him.
"No …" Hong Zhu's mind was in a whirl and he was momentarily unable to appreciate Shen Jingxuan's beauty as he absent-mindedly replied.
Seeing that Hong Zhu's expression was somewhat solemn, Shen Jingxuan also put away her playful thoughts and asked, "Hong Zhu, did you come here for some other important matter other than to visit me?"
"... Yes!" Hong Zhu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "You guessed right, I do indeed have something important to discuss with you. You'd better … be mentally prepared."
Hong Zhu glanced at Shen Jingxuan with an ashamed expression and thought for a long time, but he still didn't know where to start.
In fact, Hong Zhu knew from a young age that she and Hong Yan were born as rare women with spiritual energy in their bodies. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of completing the family's mission. Moreover, this important mission could also be life-threatening!
It was precisely because of this that the Hong Family rarely interfered with their daily lives, allowing them to do whatever they liked. Hong Yan studied in a pharmacy in the secular world, while Hong Zhu followed her grandfather to manage the business. These were all their own interests.
Hong Yan was a well-behaved child, obedient and sensible. Although she didn't know the specifics of this important mission and only knew that she had to contribute to the family's path to a higher world, she never expressed any complaints and was instead very cooperative with the family.
However, Hong Zhu was different. Her personality was the complete opposite of Hong Yan's. She was a little demoness who feared neither the heavens nor the earth. She acted boldly and willfully, so she was naturally unwilling to accept such a dangerous mission for no apparent reason.
Since there was no way to go against the family, Hong Zhu simply came up with an idea and decided to find someone with a similar constitution to her to complete the mission in her place.
Previously, when he had gone to the secular world, he had coincidentally met Shen Jingxuan, so Hong Zhu had set his sights on her.
Hong Zhu discovered that not only did Shen Jingxuan's body contain spiritual energy, she was also born with an innately bewitching physique, which was extremely suitable for cultivating his cultivation technique. Thus, he had brought her back to the martial world with the intention of increasing Shen Jingxuan's strength so that she could complete the family's mission.
If his relationship with Shen Jingxuan was only limited to this, Hong Zhu wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation today.
