Seeing that her attack had been blocked by Jing Ming so easily, Xu Wanâer knew that she had encountered an expert.
Although she couldnât see through Jing Mingâs cultivation base, it was obviously much higher than her own.
As a result, Xu Wanâer was unable to sense Jing Mingâs exact cultivation level at all.
As for what Jing Ming said about being her ancestor, Xu Wanâer didnât believe even a single bit.
He was not the first person who wanted to take advantage of her. Previously, the shameless Lu Yuan had probed her to call him father.
However, Xu Wanâer naturally rejected the unreasonable request.
At that time, she could tell that when Lu Yuan said that to her, he was only doing it to satisfy some kind of evil interest. He did not really want her to call him that.
There was no need to say much about the relationship between her and Lu Yuan. It was full of harmless teasing.
However, the stranger in front of her was different.
Although the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions toward her, Xu Wanâer, who had been properly taught by Lu Yuan, had changed from being silly and sweet inside out to sweet on the outside but shrewd on the inside.
Xu Wanâer looked at Jing Ming, who was approaching her step by step, but she did not show her hostility immediately.
Xu Wanâer calmly thought about her current situation, âYoung Master once said that when I encounter an enemy stronger than I, the best course of action is to run away without looking back. Instances of the weak defeating the strong are definitely not as many as the strong defeating the weak. I only have one life, and thereâs no need to gamble my life on something with a small probability of success. The second best plan is to show weakness to the enemy first, then think of a way to deal with them, and finally find an opportunity to escape. Thatâs if I canât escape immediately. Lastly, the worst option is to fight directly.â
The best plan was undoubtedly out of the question.
Xu Wanâer was now being held in place by the other party using some special method.
She couldnât even move her fingers now, let alone escape.
Therefore, Xu Wanâer decisively chose the second best plan.
Xu Wanâer questioned, âYou said youâre my ancestor, but what proof do you have?â
She thought, âIâll go along with what the other party said for the time being and see if thereâs a chance to slip away.â
They were at the Immortal Ascension Assembly held in the Upper Realm.
For the man before her to be around, he was either a cultivator like her or an assessor. But no matter what, Xu Wanâer felt that as long as she escaped, the other party would not continue to attack her.
After all, Xu Wanâer had heard about it from others.
This Immortal Ascension Assembly was held by the Three Upper Realm Sects which kept each other in check to ensure the fairness of the Immortal Ascension Assembly to the greatest extent.
Therefore, if Xu Wanâer wanted to get out of her predicament, the best way was to return to the nine-story pagoda.
Jing Ming looked at Xu Wanâer, who had fallen silent after saying that.
He nodded in his heart.
Even if Jing Ming was a fool who only knew sword cultivation, as an Apotheosis Stage cultivator with a long lifespan, Jing Ming could proudly say that he had eaten more pills than Xu Wanâer had eaten meals.
His Psychic Sword Heart could keenly sense the hostility that Xu Wanâer was hiding.
However, the hostility did not anger Jing Ming. Instead, it made him even more interested in Xu Wanâer.
Among cultivators, especially female cultivators, they were undoubtedly the easiest to be deceived by people with ulterior motives.
After all, female cultivators generally faced fewer difficulties compared to male cultivators, especially female cultivators like Xu Wanâer who had outstanding looks.
Even if their talent was average, it was not a problem for them to get to know or befriend some powerful male cultivators by relying on their outstanding looks.
Therefore, except for a few rough cultivators, most male cultivators were very kind to female cultivators.
As a result, many female cultivators experienced othersâ goodwill.
Some mistakenly thought that the outside world was the same after leaving the sect, so they lacked vigilance and ended up in a miserable state.
However, Jing Ming did not notice such a flaw in Xu Wanâer.
Not only did the girl remain suspicious, but she was also able to think on her feet when problems arose.
It was as if she had amassed life experience in the mortal world for a long time.
If Jing Ming hadnât been able to sense the pure Yin power in Xu Wanâerâs body, Jing Ming would have suspected that she, his clanswoman, had suffered some inhuman torture.
However, no matter how Jing Ming looked at it, his junior could be considered outstanding in both temperament and talent.
Jing Ming was especially pleased with Xu Wanâerâs temperament.
He wondered who the girlâs Master was to actually know how to teach their disciples some useful ways of life.
If only Jing Ming had been half as cautious as Xu Wanâer back then and not casually believed the words of outsiders, perhaps there wouldnât have been any misunderstandings between him and Xu Wanâerâs great-grandmother.
As he thought about it, Jing Ming felt a little emotional.
A thousand-year-old monster would easily recollect and miss the past.
Noticing that Jing Ming did not answer her question directly, Xu Wanâer thought that he couldnât produce any evidence and was guilty.
That also made Xu Wanâer even more certain that the other party had come with ill intentions.
Xu Wanâer had even made up her mind that if the guy before her were to try anything with her, she would take her own life before he could..
