Chapter 138: Ji Ruxue Ready to Wait and See

"This..."

"True, Fang Yuan isn't the type to willingly bring humiliation upon himself."

"However, can he really rely on that supposed Transcendence realm artifact to improve so dramatically that he surpasses the majority within such a limited timeframe?"The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Ji Ruxue ruminated for a moment, her brow slightly furrowed.

She concurred with Jiang Chen's reasoning, but found it difficult to accept that Fang Yuan could exhibit such remarkable improvement in just two months.

"Absolutely, he can."

"There's a saying that nothing is impossible."

Jiang Chen gave a firm nod, speaking with conviction, "Fang Yuan's various displays so far provide ample justification for such an assessment."

"It seems like you hold high expectations of him."

Ji Ruxue offered a subtle smile, "Then, I will observe with anticipation to see if your forecast holds true."

"Certainly!"

Jiang Chen responded with a light smile.

Jiang Chen took great comfort in Ji Ruxue's readiness to observe the unfolding events based on his assertions.

Now, with Ji Ruxue mentally bracing for Fang Yuan's potentially commendable performance, she would not be overly astonished when it did occur.

Moreover, Jiang Chen stood in the foreground of Fang Yuan, commanding a greater portion of her attention.

Should Fang Yuan attain commendable results, it would consequently bolster Jiang Chen's image in Ji Ruxue's perception.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen wouldn't be content with just this.

After all, the two-month span had only just commenced!

'Next.'

'My utmost effort should be directed at averting any potential interactions between Ji Ruxue and Fang Yuan.'

'And the optimal strategy is to maintain her presence by my side!'

Jiang Chen silently deliberated within his heart, 'What approach should I employ?'

Suddenly, a faint glimmer sparked in his eyes.

Immediately thereafter, the grand sect assembly discussion came to a close.

Jiang Chen seamlessly shifted the conversation to the subject of cultivation.

For cultivators, cultivation stood as their foremost priority.

Frequently, it also became their central topic of discussion.

Thus, the transition was executed smoothly.

Swiftly, Jiang Chen started exchanging insights about cultivation methods with Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

This was his forte!

Although Jiang Chen hadn't practiced the advanced cultivation techniques and secret arts of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, he was versed in the 'Void Rainbow Sword Technique', a respectable cultivation method worth discussing.

Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing, both at the Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm, had practiced the Void Rainbow Sword Technique as well, yet they hadn't attained the perfect-level stage.

Consequently, after some discourse, both Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing reaped significant benefits from Jiang Chen, gleaning insights on numerous aspects of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique!

They found themselves astounded by Jiang Chen's martial prowess.

And this, was merely a component of Jiang Chen's strategy.

Meanwhile, Ji Ruxue's perception of Jiang Chen deepened even further.

[Ding! Your subtle actions have modified the impression of the unpursued heroine, Ji Ruxue, towards you. Consequently, the protagonist Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value has reduced by 200 points!]

[Ding! You have accumulated 400 points of Villain Value!]

The sound of the system prompts resonated within Jiang Chen's mind, bringing him a wave of satisfaction.

Just then, Ji Mingxiu finally made his return.

As soon as he arrived, he spotted Jiang Chen, Ji Ruxue, and Xie Xiaojing deep in conversation, which immediately eased his facial expression.

Ji Mingxiu had initially been concerned that Jiang Chen might struggle to engage with Ji Ruxue.

But now, the scene appeared to be quite harmonious!

Shortly after, Ji Mingxiu continued to observe for a while.

Upon realizing that both Jiang Chen and Ji Ruxue were reaping considerable benefits from their conversation, his contentment deepened.

'Excellent.'

'I am usually occupied with too many tasks.'

'Given that they can interact with each other and mutually benefit from it, I should facilitate more encounters between them in the future.'

With this in mind, Ji Mingxiu took a step forward, venturing into the courtyard.

Unsurprisingly, Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing noticed Ji Mingxiu's return.

Consequently, the trio concluded their conversation, all shifting their attention to Ji Mingxiu as he entered the courtyard.

"Father."

Ji Ruxue acknowledged.

"Master!"

"Holy Lord!"

Jiang Chen and Xie Xiaojing expressed their greetings in unison.

"There's no need for such formality."

"It appears that you all have been engaged in a pleasant conversation, which indeed gladdens me."

Ji Mingxiu responded with a slight smile, then shifted his gaze to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, after interacting with these two, do you have any further queries?"

"In response to Master."

Jiang Chen saluted, "Many of my questions have already been clarified. I am truly grateful to Miss Ruxue and Miss Xiaojing."

"Hmm."

"That is indeed commendable."

"I happen to have some spare time today. Therefore, I'll seize this opportunity to guide you further and help clear any remaining doubts you might have."

Ji Mingxiu nodded slightly, then took a seat at one side of the table.

He cherished his daughter, Ji Ruxue, greatly, and would always make time to accompany and educate her, regardless of his busy schedule.

Otherwise, Ji Ruxue wouldn't have turned out to be so well-rounded.

This time, he had the chance not only to personally guide Jiang Chen but also to spend quality time with Ji Ruxue.
