Chapter 158: Secretly Accompanying
“Weijing, you did well today!”
Just as Bao Weijing expected, Bao Xinxian praised his performance.
“Thank you, Father.”
If this was in the past, Bao Weijing would definitely be excited.
But right now, Bao Weijing was calm.
He knew very well that his progress was all due to Xu Ning.
Bao Xinxian knew why Bao Weijing was not enthusiastic about him as well.
After all, he didn’t pay much attention to Bao Weijing until now.
“Weijing, your performance today was outstanding. Even Master Fang Jie of the Yuelan Sect praised you. Thus, the elders of the family are preparing to train you. In a few days, the family will organize a hunt with the excellent younger generation of the family to enter the mountains to hunt demon beasts. You are included in that group.”
Bao Xinxian smiled and said, “This operation will be led by Elder Bao Xinxuan, so you have to prepare well.”
Bao Xinxian and Bao Xinxuan were of the same generation, but Bao Xinxuan was talented and had long reached the void realm, so he was promoted by Bao Qiuhua to be the youngest clan elder in the Bao family.
“Yes, Father.”
Bao Weijing responded calmly.
Seeing that Bao Weijing was acting quite cold towards him, Bao Xinxian squeezed out a smile again. “If you need anything in the future, remember to ask me.”
“Understood.”
Noticing the cold attitude, Bao Xinxian felt uncomfortable.
‘It seems that I can only slowly repair our relationship.’
Bao Xinxian thought to himself.
After chatting for a while, Bao Xinxian took the initiative to leave.
‘Sure enough, the family has begun to value me.’
Bao Weijing smiled. “I have to tell Senior Tao about this…”
Afterwards, Bao Weijing left the Bao family compound and prepared to go to the Drunken Spring Pavilion.
“Huh?”
As soon as he left, Bao Weijing suddenly noticed that someone was following him.
Now that he had advanced to the state mind realm, his perception was much stronger than before.
‘The person who tried to kill me previously must be monitoring my movements.’
Bao Weijing weighed the pros and cons, and decided he did not want to alert the enemy yet.
Bao Weijing relied on his nimble movements to get rid of the people monitoring him before finally arriving at the Drunken Spring Pavilion.
Bao Weijing had asked Xu Ning where he lived.
After reporting the words “Senior Tao”, Bao Weijing was led to Xu Ning’s room, obviously Xu Ning had informed the receptionist in advance.
“Greetings, Senior Tao!”
After Bao Weijing saw Xu Ning, he bowed respectfully.
“You have improved a lot, even advancing to the state mind realm.”
Xu Ning looked at Bao Weijing with a satisfied expression.
Seeing this, Bao Weijing was relieved.
Compared to Bao Xinxian’s praise, Xu Ning’s praise made Bao Weijing more excited.
“Senior Tao, I advanced to the state mind realm thanks to your pills.”
Bao Weijing said, “Today, the younger generation of the family sparred against each other. I performed well after my advancement, and was noticed by the higher-ups of the family. They not only let me participate in the combat training of the demon beasts, but I was also praised by Fang Jie of the Yuelan Sect.”
“Fang Jie from the Yuelan Sect?”
Xu Ning looked surprised.
“Yes, Senior Tao.”
Bao Weijing quickly explained: “Fang Jie has been here for a while, and the elders of the family value him a lot. Today, he is watching the spars between the younger generation, and the senior members of the family have been accompanying him.”
“I see…”
Xu Ning nodded thoughtfully.
Xu Ning had realized that the void realm eighth stage martial artist he sensed in the Bao family mansion was Fang Jie.
‘I knew it. How could a subordinate family clan of the Yuelan Sect have such an expert, so it turns out that Fang Jie is here.’
Xu Ning knew about Fang Jie.
Fang Jie and He Mingye were both void realm eighth stage martial artists, but He Mingye’s secret technique realm was higher, which was why he was stronger than Fang Jie.
‘Fang Jie must have come here for Bao Ruyuan.’
Xu Ning quickly guessed the truth.
After seeing Xu Ning’s thoughtful look, Bao Weijing stopped talking.
“If you are going to hunt demon beasts, you should be led by the elders in the clan, right?”
Xu Ning thought for a while, then asked another question.
“It will be led by Clan Elder Bao Xinxuan, a void realm martial artist.”
Bao Weijing told him everything he knew.
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning nodded. “When will you be leaving?”
“I’m not sure for now…”
Bao Weijing frowned and responded.
“When you figure out the date of your departure, tell me, and I will follow you secretly.”
Xu Ning said.
Xu Ning had always wanted to enter the Bao family mansion, but because of Fang Jie, he did not succeed.
Now that an elder was coming out, Xu Ning felt that he could seize this opportunity.
“Understood, Senior Tao.”
Bao Weijing quickly responded.
He didn’t ask much, but he knew that Xu Ning must have a plan to deal with his family.
However, Bao Weijing didn’t care about this. He just wanted to become stronger. He wanted to return what he had suffered.
“By the way, did you encounter any danger in the mansion recently?”
Xu Ning asked again.
“No.”
Bao Weijing said, “But when I left the mansion today, someone followed me, but I shook them off.”
“Protect yourself. If anything goes wrong, you can come to me for help at any time.”
Xu Ning took out a few porcelain bottles.
These porcelain bottles contained the pills that Xu Ning had prepared for Bao Weijing over the past few days.
“These are the pills that I have prepared for you. After taking them, they can help you speed up your practice and advance to the spirit realm as soon as possible.”
Xu Ning’s words made Bao Weijing’s heart pound.
The spirit realm was the mortal realm ninth stage!
If he advanced to the mortal realm ninth stage, even in a big family like the Bao family, he would have the qualifications to compete for the family head position.
“Thank you, Senior Tao!”
Bao Weijing took the porcelain bottles with trembling hands.
‘This Senior Tao is definitely not an ordinary void realm martial artist!’
Bao Weijing realized that he had underestimated Senior Tao.
His family also had void realm martial artists. Although Bao Weijing didn’t know much about them, he knew that no one in the Bao family could act like Senior Tao.
“I will definitely live up to your expectations!”
Bao Weijing clenched the porcelain bottles.
…
At this time.
Bao family.
Madam Quan was overwhelmed.
That was because her butler had brought her bad news just now.
Bao Weijing, whom she wanted to get rid of, had advanced to the state mind realm, and because of his outstanding performance, he was praised by the family elders, allowing him to follow the elite disciples into the mountains to train. This made Madam Quan very worried.
She was almost certain that Bao Weijing would follow Fang Jie into the Yuelan Sect and take his revenge on her.
“Madam, what should we do?”
The butler was a little anxious.
Mrs Quan did not respond, her expression uncertain.
After a long time, Madam Quan gritted her teeth. “Take out the ten Pure Source Pills I have kept.”
“Huh?”
The butler was taken aback.
These ten Pure Source Pills were from Madam Quan’s family; they were her most precious possession.
Even her husband Bao Xinxian didn’t know about the existence of these ten Pure Source Pills.
This was Madam Quan’s most precious trump card.
“Isn’t the mountain training in a few days led by Elder Bao Xinxuan?”
A trace of ruthlessness appeared on Madam Quan’s face. “Give these ten Pure Source Pills to him and have him help us get rid of Bao Weijing.”
Bao Xinxuan was arrogant and ruthless. He had caused a lot of trouble before reaching the void realm.
Back then, Mrs. Quan had helped him before, so she had some ties with him.
Afterwards, she had also asked Bao Xinxuan for some help in the dark. Thus, both sides knew about each other’s dirty secrets.
“Madam, this…”
The butler was a little hesitant. “The price of ten Pure Source Pills just to get rid of a mortal realm junior, is it worth it?”
“Maybe it’s not worth it, but Bao Weijing has been growing too fast recently. I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop him. Even if he doesn’t realize what we did to his mother, we will always be in his shadow.”
Madam Quan was firm.
“Understood, Madam.”
The butler quickly took action.
A few days went by.
A group of people left the city.
The leader was Bao Xinxuan, along with several mortal realm ninth stage guards.
The rest were all elite disciples of the Bao family. There were more than a dozen of them, including Bao Weijing.
Today, they would enter the mountains to hunt demon beasts and temper themselves.
While the other disciples were nervous, Bao Weijing was calm.
It was because he knew very well that today, Senior Tao would secretly accompany him.
“Mrs. Quan is so generous…”
Bao Xinxuan, who was riding on a tall horse with a demon beast bloodline, glanced at Bao Weijing.
“In order to deal with a mortal realm junior, she is willing to pay the price of ten Pure Source Pills, tsk tsk…”
Bao Xinxuan showed a strange smile.
Prior to this, the butler found Bao Xinxuan and explained Mrs. Quan’s intentions.
Although Bao Xinxuan was surprised, he accepted the job.
Killing a mortal realm junior was worth ten Pure Source Pills.
Although Bao Weijing was a descendant of the same family, Bao Xinxuan did not have any psychological barriers.
He was ruthless in his work. There was no good or evil in his heart. He roamed the world in his early years and made enemies everywhere. If it weren’t for the Bao family, he would have been killed a hundred times.
‘After I enter the mountain, I will deliberately make arrangements, and then secretly deal with him. After killing him, I’ll create a scene of a demon beast attack. This way, not only will I get the Pure Source Pills, but I also won’t be suspected.’
Bao Xinxuan already had a plan in mind.
The whole entourage was still flying.
However, Bao Xinxuan didn’t know that someone was secretly following him.
“What a coincidence…”
Xu Ning smiled after seeing Bao Xinxuan.
Xu Ning recognized that this was the strong man who knocked him out and kidnapped him to State Jifeng.
