Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

Chapter 188: Coercion or Inducement

Xia Zhilan suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back.

He wanted to stand up, but found that he was so nervous that his legs and feet were stiff.

"May I ask your identities?"

He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and finally asked this question under pressure.

Wen Jin raised his eyebrows and raised his hand slightly, and the unlit candles in the room suddenly lit up.

For a moment, Xia Zhilan felt relieved when the room became bright again.

"My surname is Wen." Wen Jin smiled slightly, stroked his face with his hand, and his expression changed drastically.

"Ji." Ji Yunmiao introduced himself, then glanced sideways at Wen Jin, and his appearance quickly changed back to normal.

Sitting together with Ajin, since Ajin is good-looking, he naturally has to look good too, so that he and Ajin appear to be a good match.

Xia Zhilan was still confused about how someone could introduce themselves by only their last name, but he finally reacted the next second.

A high-level talisman practitioner named Wen, and an alchemist named Ji.

Everything made sense now... No wonder he felt so familiar with the combination of the talisman master and the alchemist... The famous Fuyao Peak Master Wen Jin and his first disciple Ji Yunmiao, the story of their marriage was widely circulated at that time!

A handsome man and a beautiful woman...

After seeing these two people, these four words immediately popped up in Xia Zhilan's mind.

There are not many cases of masters and disciples forming a pair, so when he heard about this, he paid special attention to it. He was very confused as to why such a famous and powerful person wanted to form a pair with his disciple. So when he later learned that Ji Yunmiao could make pills, he felt helpless about his previous doubts.

The person who can make people of this level find a partner must be very capable.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I feel that my previous understanding was too shallow.

"Boss Xia?"

Wen Jin noticed that Xia Zhilan seemed to be distracted suddenly, and he looked at Ji Yunmiao and then reminded him.

Xia Zhilan reacted immediately and knelt on the ground.

People who practice spiritual cultivation are very fast. Before Wen Jin finished speaking, Xia Zhilan had already dodged and knelt down.

"Please ask Master Wen Feng, ask Penglai Fairy Island to save Kongtong Valley!"

As he spoke, he pretended to knock his head to the ground.

The next moment, Ji Yunmiao suddenly threw out a stream of spiritual power, lifting his head which was still a fist away from the ground.

"Get up and talk." He withdrew his spiritual power and spoke in a cold voice.

Ajin doesn't like these people who have done nothing wrong kneeling down, let alone kowtowing. If they want to ask for help, just beg them and speak nicely.

Seeing this, Wen Jin immediately gave Ji Yunmiao an approving look.

Then she looked at Xia Zhilan who had stood up from the ground and said, "You don't have to beg me. I came here for this purpose."

With just one sentence, the two of them were instantly brought to an equal level.

Xia Zhilan immediately felt a liking for him.

Can he say that it is worthy of being called Penglai Fairy Island? Look at the layout of the place! When he thought of his own home, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"What is the relationship between Kongtong Valley and Wudang Immortal Mountain now?"

Wen Jin gestured to Xia Zhilan to sit down, pushed the cup of tea that Ji Yunmiao had just taken out to Xia Zhilan, and asked again.

Xia Zhilan calmed down after hearing this, and folded his hands on the table before answering, "The Valley Master's faction vowed to never compromise with Wudang Immortal Mountain. As for this split faction, from what I know, the people from Wudang Immortal Mountain promised them some benefits, which seems to be related to the Kongtong Seal."

"Oh?" Wen Jin became interested and continued, "Does the loss of the Kongtong Seal have anything to do with the Wudang Immortal Mountain?"

"I'm not sure about that. Although the Xia family is a big family in Kongtong Valley, they don't have access to such core things." Xia Zhilan shook his head, frowned and thought about it carefully, and added: "From my personal point of view, I think it's unlikely."

"Master Wen Feng, do you want to ask whether the Kongtong Seal was taken away by the split Kongtong Valley?"

"Yes, there is such a guess."

"That's unlikely. As far as I know, the Kongtong Valley that broke away was only forced to submit to the Wudang Immortal Mountain." Xia Zhilan shook his head again: "Just like I guessed just now, it was coercion or bribery."

"The auction house has also been coerced and bribed by Wudang Immortal Mountain recently."

Xia Zhilan smiled bitterly: "Their people came to me privately and told me that my brother was being monitored by them. If the auction house is willing to submit to Wudang Immortal Mountain, they will release my brother to be with me."

"If you keep resisting, don't blame them for not leaving a way for your brother to live."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jin and Ji Yunmiao immediately looked at each other.

"That is to say..."

Wen Jin left her words unsaid, and Ji Yunmiao naturally continued her words: "A clue."

"Wudang Immortal Mountain deceived the Kongtong Valley that split off from it, saying that they had clues to the location of the Kongtong Seal?"

Wen Jin repeated it and looked at Xia Zhilan.

Xia Zhilan nodded upon hearing this: "I think this is very likely the case."

"It's a scam."

Yang Zheng sighed.

"But what if they really have clues about the Kongtong Seal?"

Xia Zhilan looked towards Yang Zheng following the sound and proposed a possibility.

"If they really have it, why don't they take it out quickly and let the Valley Master's faction work for them quickly?"

Yang Zheng raised his chin slightly: "The reason why Kongtong Valley is divided now is because the whereabouts of Kongtong Seal is unknown. If the Kongtong Seal is really in the hands of Wudang Immortal Mountain, they would have taken it out long ago and let the whole Kongtong Valley be used by them."

"Isn't that what they did when they deceived the families of Kunlun Immortal Sect? They used the pretext of unifying the spiritual world to get those people to work for them, but what was the reality? They didn't even unify Kunlun."

As she spoke, she crossed her arms and a snort of disdain escaped from her nose.

Seeing this, Lu Qingzhi and Wen Jin were immediately amused.

Xia Zhilan rubbed it with his fingers, then shook his head helplessly, agreeing with this statement.

He actually didn't know much about the Kunlun Immortal Sect, but since others had confirmed it, they must know the inside story, so he didn't want to say any more.

"Then let's do this." Wen Jin curled his fingers into a fist and tapped the table twice, then looked at Xia Zhilan seriously: "Boss Xia, we need your cooperation to do something."
