Chapter 1062 Lady Xiang

When the Immortals heard Xu Jiaqiʼs words, a look of disgust appeared on their faces, almost as though theyʼd accidentally swallowed a live fly.

”Hm?” Xu Jiaqi suddenly noticed a certain figure in the distance, who appeared to be leaving the place.

”Now if youʼll excuse me, I have some important business to attend to.” And without explaining any further, Xu Jiaqi disappeared from her spot and appeared in front of this individual she had been staring at.

”Oh~!” This individual was surprised when Xu Jiaqi appeared before her like a ghost.

”Itʼs been a while, Lady Xiang.” Xu Jiaqi said, her attitude towards this woman being the complete opposite of how she treats the others, almost as though they were friends.

”Lady Xu? You really startled me just now! I thought I was under attack or something.” Lady Xiang sighed.

”Sorry, but I really needed to speak with you, and it looked like you were about to leave.”

”Oh? What do you want to talk to me about?”

”Letʼs go somewhere more private, shall we?” Xu Jiaqi said.

Lady Xiang nodded, ”I have a villa nearby. Letʼs go there.”

Xu Jiaqi turned to look at Senior Bai and said to him, ”You can return without me.”

”I understand. If you need anything, call me.” Senior Bai didnʼt want to linger around any longer due to the people there and disappeared almost immediately, almost as though heʼd been teleported away.

ʼAs I thought, sheʼs going to get that soul cultivation technique for him… Itʼs not going to be cheap even for someone like her…ʼ Senior Bai sighed inwardly as the image of Lady Xiangʼs face appeared in his head.

Sometime later, Xu Jiaqi sat down with Lady Xiang in her villa.

”I will get straight to the point, Lady Xiang. I would like to purchase your soul cultivation technique.” Xu Jiaqi said to her.

”...”

Lady Xiang slowly lowered the tea in her grasp and stared at Xu Jiaqi with a baffled look on her face.

”Iʼm sorry, I donʼt think I heard you properly just now. Can you repeat it just in case?” Lady Xiang said a moment later.

”Your soul cultivation technique. I need it.”

A stiff smile appeared on Lady Xiangʼs face when she realized that she hadnʼt heard wrong just now, and she asked in a dumbfounded voice, ”Why do you want my technique? And you should know that this technique isnʼt for sale, and even if it were for sale, it cannot be learned by just anyone. Furthermore, we both know that youʼre not suitable for this soul cultivation technique, so why would you want to learn it?”

”Who said anything about using it for myself? I am giving it to someone.” Xu Jiaqi said.

Lady Xiang only became even more baffled after hearing such words.

”I owe him a great debt, and I promised to give him the best soul cultivation technique that I can find. If youʼre not willing to sell it to me, then I can only find another soul cultivation technique for him.”

”This person… Is he your lover?” Lady Xiang couldnʼt help but ask, her eyes filled with curiosity.

”No. Heʼs just a junior.” Xu Jiaqi calmly said.

”Is that so? How boring. Anyways, I doubt this person is capable of learning my soul cultivation technique, since only someone born with immense soul strength could possibly learn it. In the entire Nine Heavens— No, in the last ten million years, only three people have been capable of learning this technique, myself being one of them.”

”You wonʼt know it until you try it. This junior… heʼs immensely talented and has the potential to surpass us. Please.”

Lady Xiang narrowed her eyes on Xu Jiaqi, who had her head slightly lowered in a pleading manner.

”I have never seen you care so much about someone before, Lady Xu. If you tell me why youʼre going through all of this trouble, even lowering your head and begging me, I will consider it.”

Xu Jiaqi took a deep breath and said, ”I can tell you under one condition. You will not say a word about his identity to anyone. In fact, youʼll act as though he doesnʼt even exist.”

”I accept your condition.”

Xu Jiaqi nodded and said, ”This junior was the one who found my fatherʼs legacy— the God of Warʼs Astral Arts. In exchange for it, I promised to give him a soul cultivation technique.”

Lady Xiang raised an eyebrow after hearing this information.

”Thatʼs it? I was anticipating something more exciting… Also, heʼs just a junior who managed to stumble upon your ancestorʼs legacy. You couldʼve easily forced him to give you the legacy without needing to make such a promise— at least thatʼs what most people in the gathering today wouldʼve done if they were in your shoes.”

”Are you looking down on me? As if I would do something that low and despicable.” Xu Jiaqi sneered.

Lady Xiang smiled, ”I am just joking.”

”Are you going to help me or what? Iʼve already lowered my head for you. If you think I will do it for a second time…”

A serious expression appeared on Lady Xiangʼs face as she spoke, ”Since weʼre friends and I do owe you a favor, I will give this junior a chance to learn my soul cultivation technique. However, this doesnʼt mean it will be free. Whether or not this junior is capable of learning the technique or not, youʼll still have to pay.”

”How much do you want?” Xu Jiaqi asked.

”Who said anything about money? I want you to do something for me.” A cold smile appeared on Lady Xiangʼs face.

Xu Jaiqi frowned, ”What are you plotting?”

”You see, a certain group of people have been harassing me and my family recently. Iʼm sure youʼve heard about them. I would love to deal with them myself, but I do not have the capability. If you want me to give this junior a chance to learn my soul cultivation technique, you will have to help me ʼdeal withʼ these people. Do you understand what I am saying?”

The frown on Xu Jiaqiʼs face deepened.

”You want me to destroy the Sky Whales faction?” she mumbled in a dumbfounded voice.
