Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1095: Chapter 64: Brave General and Wise General_2

“I’m begging you.” An Zhisu got straight to the point, “Please teach me this secret technique.”

The Sun True Obscure Sword, realizing it finally had no way to handle her, could only sigh and say:

“Since you’ve sincerely asked for it, although I am esteemed as the Fuxi Divine Sword, it’s not to say that I can’t show some mercy…”

“My junior brother never had such trouble when asking the Summoning Sword for secret techniques.” An Zhisu was also quite fed up with it, couldn’t help but complain.

“Haha? Impossible!” The Sun True Obscure Sword said disdainfully, “You’re not the Tai Yin Sword Master, so you don’t know that Summoning is much more troublesome than I am!”

“To me, as long as what the Sword Master asks for is proper and with a sincere attitude, I generally make a move.”

“But Summoning is narrow-minded by nature and likes to tease people, often leaving the Sword Master embarrassed. Wanting to get it done with just a few words is a fool’s dream!”

“Believe it or not.” An Zhisu shook her head and said, “Anyway, my junior brother has never been troubled by his life-bound sword artifact, nor is it as tedious as you are.”

“Alright then!” The Sun True Obscure Sword was delighted with the title “tedious,” and couldn’t help but become furious. How had it been judged so by past generations of Sun Sword Masters? Moreover, this woman wasn’t even a Sword Master!

“Once I see Summoning, if there’s the slightest lie, you’re finished!” It gritted its teeth and said, “Shut up and listen to me teach you the technique!”

An Zhisu remained silent, listening as the Sun True Obscure Sword taught a secret technique, which focused the Boundless Sword Qi, transforming it into a massive pillar of light shooting forward to break through the enemy’s defensive magical instruments or formation restrictions.

Of course, the earth and rocks of the undersea cavern were naturally not as difficult as defensive magical instruments to handle, and with this technique, they quickly melted, significantly faster than previous cutting rates.

An Zhisu followed the Earth Fire Main Vein while, outside the Heaven-Mending Stone smelting area, the Kunlun Mirror approached Chen Guanshui, comforting him with gentle words:

“Guanshui, don’t be too upset. After all, they’ve only just discovered each other’s existence, it’s hard to accept reality, some tantrums are inevitable.”

“I know.” Chen Guanshui said irritably, “But right now, during the crucial time of the Heaven-Mending plan, what can’t be postponed until later to argue over?”

“If anything were to go wrong with the Heaven-Mending Stone smelting, leading to the failure of Heaven Mending, who could bear that responsibility? What has the world done wrong, what have the living beings done wrong, why should trivial love and hate be prioritized before grand duties?”

The Kunlun Mirror laughed inwardly but said aloud:

“Indeed, but they probably have no concept of the world-ending catastrophe. After all, it’s only those who have lived long enough, like celestial beings, who can sense the over-rapid loss of spiritual energy in this realm, clearly indicating that the end of lifespan is approaching. But to Nascent Soul cultivators, what the immortals describe is less credible than what they directly observe.”

“It’s not a matter of credibility.” Chen Guanshui said earnestly, “They’ve followed me for so many years, do they not understand my nature?”

“If it weren’t for a disaster of a world-ending caliber, how would I endure humiliation and be undercover in various great sects? They all accuse me of being heartless and ungrateful, who will collect the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone? Turns out those acting upon righteousness are deservedly criticized and vilified, right?”

“Cough, I think they just fueled each other’s anger.” Kunlun Mirror patiently said, “It happens that husband, when you tried to mediate, you became a target.”

“Husband?”

“Oh, I meant, as their husband, you.” Kunlun Mirror laughed and gracefully changed the topic, “Anyway, how do you plan to resolve it?”

“Resolve what?” Chen Guanshui expressed confusion.

“Just how to handle the current situation.” Kunlun Mirror analyzed for him, “You see, now with only Qiong Ying and Dong You competing for favor, the rival is clearly just one person, allowing them to unrestrainedly oppose each other, using any means to attack one another, ensuring the back house can’t be harmonious.”

“However, if a third person exists, then to gain strategic advantage, they would shift focus from ‘mutual conflict’ to ‘recruiting allies’, making it easier to maintain balance.”

“You’re not without reason.” Chen Guanshui contemplated and said, “But how to find this third person?”

“Senior Sister An is straightforward and directly wants to draw her sword when she sees me, she has no mind for their quarrel. Madam Jiang’s level is too high, I’m afraid she will overwhelm everyone else, the little fox… far away in the Eastern Emperor Realm, beyond reach, what can be done?”

He muttered to himself, suddenly furrowing his brows in suspicion looking at the Kunlun Mirror, tentatively asking:

“Ah Jing, you’re not thinking of volunteering, are you?”

“No way!” Kunlun Mirror quickly denied, then suddenly realized, astonished, “Why would you think I’m volunteering?”

“Could it be, you really have feelings for me?” She covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously, “Does Guanshui find my body quite attractive?”

“No!” Chen Guanshui immediately denied, “I was just considering the women close to me and happened to think of you.”

“Haha.” Kunlun Mirror, feeling displeased inside, acted nonchalant on the surface, “Anyway, I’ve given you the idea, what you do with it is your business.”

Chen Guanshui knew that this treacherous mirror wasn’t reliable, so he racked his brains to think deeply.

Outside, he was frustrated, while Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli were in the Earth Fire smelting inner chamber, staring at the Heaven-Mending Stone in silence.

As the saying goes, a barking dog seldom bites. The same principle applies in house rivalry.

If one truly decides to get rid of the other, there’s no need to speak harsh words or show attitude, which only alerts the opponent without any real benefit.

“What about the others?” Shi Liuli suddenly asked without reason.

“What?” Xu Yinglian was first stunned, then quickly understood, “You mean, his Shushan Qing Heng identity? Jiao Xiao?”

“Yes, you indeed guessed it.” Shi Liuli nodded and said, “Jiao Xiao’s character isn’t as easy-going as mine.”

You are easy-going? I think your sharp tongue is as fierce as Jiao Xiao’s swordsmanship.

Xu Yinglian pondered for a moment, then sneered:

“Regardless, you should be the one worried.”

If Jiao Xiao is cunning, it would naturally be detrimental to Shi Liuli; but if Jiao Xiao’s true character is as straightforward as previously shown, drawing the sword in a few words, Xu Yinglian certainly wouldn’t fear, whereas for the less powerful Shi Liuli, it would be even more disadvantageous.

“Indeed.” Shi Liuli smiled sweetly, “So we can join forces.”

“Join forces?” Xu Yinglian asked with a meaningful look.

The tone implied: Is it necessary? Go on.

“Yes, join forces.” Shi Liuli said calmly, “Exclude her first, then we can settle the score between us, how about that?”

Xu Yinglian made no comment.

“The reason to join forces is also simple.” Shi Liuli continued, “You and I both strive for the husband, but neither of us is as obsessed as Jiao Xiao. She’s been to Shushan’s Compassion Inquiry, it’s a matter of Daoist Heart, absolutely uncompromising.”

“That is to say, Jiao Xiao is the most threatening one to both you and me.”

“Fortunately, she is personally intense, loves and hates distinctly, seemingly still not forgiving ‘husband’s defection from Shushan’.”

Seeing Xu Yinglian remain uncommitted, Shi Liuli inwardly cursed and could only throw out her trump card:

“Therefore, we might as well take advantage of this, coax her to sever ties with the husband personally.”

“Your words are self-contradictory.” Xu Yinglian suddenly said, “Since she has already inquired of her affections, uncompromising, how could she sever ties herself?”

“I mean.” Shi Liuli slowly said, “Make the husband give up on her.”
