Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 138: So This is What Ling Jue is Like

Ye Wenxin lazily lifted her head, gazing at Ling Jue, who was still lost in self-reflection. Though usually mature and composed, at this moment, Ling Jue seemed almost excessively adorable.

"Sister Ling, we're about to head back. Is there anything else you want to do?"

"Anything I want to do?" Ling Jue looked at Ye Wenxin again, as if planning which part of her to savor next.

"Something other than me," Ye Wenxin instinctively stepped back, not wanting to spend the entire day in the shabby wooden hut with Ling Jue.

"Well, not really," Ling Jue thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Sister Ling, your ambitions are quite limited," Ye Wenxin commented with some resignation. Ling Jue chuckled awkwardly, suddenly realizing she might indeed lack ambition.

"But I'd love to watch you make pills, Wenxin," Ling Jue added, seeing Ye Wenxin's bored expression.

Alchemy, the very thing that had brought them together, would ultimately serve as the conclusion to their journey.

"Alright, Sister Ling, let me show you my latest pill-making technique," Ye Wenxin teased with a mysterious smile, pulling out ten alchemy furnaces from her storage ring and tossing in ten different herbs to start the process.

Ling Jue was dumbfounded, unsure how to describe Ye Wenxin's peculiar methods.

But knowing Ye Wenxin's expertise in alchemy, she didn't interrupt, quietly waiting for half an hour until Ye Wenxin finished. Ten batches of pills were produced.

Each batch was a sixth-grade pill or higher, with a high success rate. Ling Jue knew she couldn't replicate such results herself.

"Is this another cave encounter or an old family secret?" Ling Jue was overwhelmed, recalling how Ye Wenxin often brushed off such topics, leaving her feeling she couldn't extract any useful information.

Ye Wenxin smiled awkwardly, realizing that without such vague explanations, she wouldn't find another excuse. Her intention to showcase her growth to Ling Jue had instead led to silence.

Ling Jue laughed softly, approaching Ye Wenxin to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "It's fine. As long as it's you, Wenxin, I believe you."

It was a blind trust, yet it brought warmth to Ye Wenxin...

Time flew by, and the days passed swiftly, leaving only a week until the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting.

Whether as a Cangyu Sect alchemy teacher or as the Young Valley Master of Yaowang Valley, Ling Jue had to return. Though Ye Wenxin wasn't particularly interested in the meeting, Cangyu Sect's rules mandated all disciples to attend, with expulsion for those who defied this order.

Cangyu Sect, like other immortal sects, placed great importance on the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting. Essentially, it was a day for disciples to showcase their prowess against others.

No one wanted to lose face for their sect, naturally bringing their full strength to the event.

"Wenxin, it's time to go," Ling Jue said early in the morning, donning a fresh set of men's clothes. Though her face remained unchanged, the outfit added a touch of heroism.
