Chapter 729 Mei and Zhao meet
Among the top cultivators, Yan Yu, Liu Longtao, Li Zhaojiang and the other three were familiar with each other and often teased each other in the chat group. In addition, they were all leaders of a team and had similar status, so they were once nicknamed the three brothers of bad friends.

By now, the gap between the three has been completely widened.

Li Zhaojiang remained the leader of the team, his status unchanged, but that was all. If the Annan Army leaders needed to discuss matters related to the monks with a representative of the Qing'an team, they would often prefer to go to the deputy captain, Li Minghu.

Liu Longtao, on the other hand, became the Dingbei Army's top cultivator, standing on equal footing with (and even surpassing) the Dingbei Army's leaders. The difference between him and Li Zhaojiang was that it was the Longxiong Team that needed him as captain, not him needing a Longxiong Team.

Yan Yu was the most powerful of the three, and was now the undisputed number one cultivator in Lu State. The difference between him and Liu Longtao was that Liu Longtao was still captaining the team, while Yan Yu hadn't been in the role for some time. He was too strong, and carrying five people alone would be an additional burden, wasting the maximum potential of Lu State's swordsman.

Despite the significant gap in status and power, the relationship between the three remained largely unchanged. Liu Longtao touted himself as the best friend who had brought Yan Yu and Ye Jun together, while Li Zhaojiang, relying on his sister Li Minghu, bossed Yan Yu around without fear... This clearly demonstrates that having too many women isn't always a good thing; it can easily lead to a host of inexplicable relationships.

In the laboratory, Mei Yingxue fell silent when she saw the large pile of things Yan Yu brought back.

There was a wide variety of items, mostly magic weapons, with flying swords being a secondary concern. Some could calculate the duration of a heavenly tribulation, some could fire massive amounts of sword energy from afar, and some could be carried on the body and activated to automatically avoid danger... Despite the diverse nature, they all shared a commonality: they conserved vital energy and didn't require the main body to be used in battle, making them ideal for dealing with tribulation lightning.

Surviving tribulations was different from fighting. Fighting with others required strength, ferocity, and ruthlessness, striking the opponent with overwhelming force. Therefore, good magical flying swords often consumed a significant amount of true energy. After all, the greater the power, the more true energy was consumed. This was an eternal truth.

Surviving the tribulation was another matter. Tribulation lightning could not be dodged, evaded, or blocked by defensive spells, so even a common flying sword could easily blast it apart. However, the problem was that the number of tribulation lightning was too great, and the detonation was so powerful that it would often destroy the magical flying sword itself.

Therefore, things like the witch's white bone heart-locking hammer are perfect for attacking extraordinary people, but it would be a waste to use it to overcome tribulations - if a tribulation thunder strikes, the heart-locking hammer will explode, which is a huge loss.

When monks evaluate the quality of a magical flying sword, they focus more on whether it is suitable for fighting with others. The "treasures" selected in this way may not actually be suitable for overcoming tribulations.

In other words, it is really puzzling that Yan Yu could find such a large number of things suitable for overcoming tribulations from all over the world - how did he do it?
"Hmm." Regardless, since the items were already displayed, Mei Yingxue, as the director of the cultivation and scientific research department, had to give an overall evaluation. "These items, taken individually, are basically all useful for overcoming tribulations..."

"But if it all falls on the cultivators who are undergoing the tribulation, we still need to study carefully how to build the most efficient tactical system to deal with the tribulation." Li Minghu echoed.

This was certainly good advice, and the girls all nodded.

More than a dozen magical weapons and flying swords, all unfamiliar to you, are suddenly handed to you, asking you to use them to overcome the tribulation. Then, the tribulation thunder strikes, and you're so flustered you don't know which one to take out. By then, you'll be like Doraemon.

"All magic weapons and flying swords should be used by the cultivator who is about to transcend the tribulation. He should personally try to adapt to their specific properties and the consumption of true energy." Su Yunjin also spoke out.

Secretary Su was equally intelligent, but her personality was too Buddhist and quiet. In the past, unless Yan Yu asked her a question and specifically asked her to answer, she would not usually speak up.

Now that she has become Yan Yu's woman and has the idea of competing for her husband, of course she has to change her previous style of keeping a low profile and make her presence felt.

"Indeed." Ye Jun agreed. "These magical flying swords all have owners. Although they are borrowed temporarily, treasures have spirits. The longer they are held, the less obedient they become. Before transcending the tribulation, they must be sorted out by their owners again."

This was another headache. The magical flying swords recognized their masters, and their masters could manipulate them with ease. Outsiders would not be able to control them. Yan Yu came to ask for a loan. The masters had given the magical flying swords orders to obey, temporarily suppressing their spirits, but over time, their old ways would gradually return.

The safest way, of course, is to kill the original owner and completely cut off the connection with the energy of the magic flying sword. Of course, that will lead to another consequence, that is, the folk cultivators will keep their treasures tightly guarded, and even if they are discovered, they will deny it and will never dare to lend it to the official again.

Yan Yu was a relatively reasonable person. He did not kill people directly to steal the treasures. The price he paid was these magic weapons and flying swords. Every now and then, he had to call the original owners and give them commands again with his spiritual sense, just like flashing a mobile phone.

This was actually quite troublesome, because the time and place where the cultivators underwent tribulation were theoretically kept strictly confidential, so the original owner couldn't come over to flash the system, and instead each one had to be sent back to the original owner to flash the system...

The trouble has reached an extreme point, so we have to make overall plans and arrangements.

Mei Yingxue's expression remained unchanged. She nodded and turned her gaze to Zhao Yuanzhen and said:
"In that case, you can keep it for now."

Zhao Yuanzhen did not respond, but lazily made a hand gesture, summoned the puppet Ami, and put away all the magic weapons and flying swords.

Since Yan Yu spoke up for her, the feud between her and Mei Yingxue was temporarily over. Of course, good and evil cannot coexist, so it is inevitable that they will dislike each other.

But now Zhao Yuanzhen thinks that he has Yan Yu as his backer, so he is not afraid of Mei Yingxue at all.

I have good looks, I have a good figure, and I have a great husband, but you have nothing!

"Haha." Mei Yingxue thought of something else and said to Yan Yu, "She might not be able to figure out all these things in a short period of time. Why don't you give her a hand?"

Zhao Yuanzhen was immediately furious when he heard this, because although Mei Yingxue didn't say it explicitly, the subtext was not obscure at all:
You are an idiot with no brains, I will let someone with brains help you.

This was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for Zhao Yuanzhen. The Demon Sect Demoness was not without self-awareness, but she would bear grudge against anyone who said this, and now it was her own mortal enemy who said it, adding insult to injury!

"Researching these things is your responsibility as an academic," she said sarcastically. "You're throwing your own work to others. Are you afraid you can't handle it? If you delay my tribulation and core formation, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

The girls looked at him in surprise. None of them knew about the rift between Zhao Yuanzhen and Mei Yingxue, and now they all had gossipy thoughts.

"I can't do it," Mei Yingxue said calmly. "Even if I list all the data in detail, can you understand it? I definitely can't do it, but Yan Yu can. Ask him to help you in this regard. This is a public matter, not a personal grudge."

No personal grudges? Does that mean there are personal grudges?

At this time in the laboratory, none of the girls spoke, but their eye contact was extremely frequent, and it was obvious that they had begun to communicate with each other.

"Why can't I understand? List them out for me first." Zhao Yuanzhen said shamelessly.

She had already made up her mind. As long as Mei Yingxue gave her specific information, she would nitpick and find faults, forcing Mei Yingxue to answer them one by one.

Simply put, it means deliberately making trouble for the other person.

As for whether you can understand it or not, I still have my husband Yan Yu!
Mei Yingxue chuckled, picked up a paper next to her, and handed it over, saying:

"No, there's a ready-made magic weapon research report. Take it and have a look first." Zhao Yuanzhen was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to be able to break the trick like this. As for the research report, she definitely wouldn't accept it. She pushed it away and said:

"Don't waste my time on anything that has nothing to do with transcending the tribulation. I don't have that much time to waste with you here!"

Mei Yingxue smiled without saying anything, thinking that the witch was still so cowardly, which made people laugh.

She gave Yan Yu another look with a complicated meaning, showing surprise and confusion of "You can actually manage her well", as well as instructions and warnings of "You have to manage her well next time".

In Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes, it was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all her positive emotions.

What does this look mean? Is this bitch familiar with my husband?

There's no mistake, that's the tacit understanding that comes from being very familiar with each other. If it's someone you don't know well, and they don't understand you at all, what's the point of eye contact?
Thinking of this, a huge rage ignited in his chest. There was hatred towards Mei Yingxue, but more of it was directed at Yan Yu:

Between you and me, husband and wife, there shouldn't be any secrets. I told you everything about my past with Mei Yingxue, but you never told me when you had an affair with her!
She gnashed her teeth for a long time, but Yan Yu never glanced at her. He just continued to communicate with Mei Yingxue:
"Although this is a cumbersome undertaking, once all the links are established, its value will be completely worth the effort. After all, in the future, anyone who needs to overcome a tribulation can directly use this solution."

"Indeed." Mei Yingxue nodded and said, "Actually, the most difficult step is the first one, which is to collect these things. Once you complete the most difficult step, leave the rest to me."

Everyone talked for a while, decided on a new way to deal with the tribulation, and then left the laboratory one after another.

Yan Yu had nothing to do, so he went back to his room to take a shower. However, as soon as he took off his upper body clothes, Zhao Yuanzhen rushed in aggressively.

She came through the wall and without saying a word, she pushed Yan Yu against the wall and said viciously:
"What's your relationship with that bitch?"

"How should we address her?" Yan Yu said with a deliberately stern face, "You should call her Teacher Mei!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Yuanzhen was so angry that he almost lost his temper on the spot, but people are sometimes like this. The more angry they are, the calmer they appear on the surface. "Are you asleep?"

"Ah?" Yan Yu was a little confused.

"Let me ask you," Zhao Yuanzhen said expressionlessly, "Did you sleep with her?"

Of course Yan Yu could see that the little witch was a little jealous.

She allowed the girls in the team to be "concubines" because they had a good relationship with each other; she tolerated the girls outside the team to be "mistresses" because she did not think they were threatening.

But Mei Yingxue didn't meet these two requirements. First, she had a very bad relationship with Zhao Yuanzhen, and second, she was also extremely threatening - not because of her appearance or figure, but because Zhao Yuanzhen knew Yan Yu's interests and hobbies - he always had a special liking for powerful female monks.

Under normal circumstances, Yan Yu would still be in the mood to ask, "Yes, you are jealous," and tease Zhao Yuanzhen.

However, the target was Mei Yingxue. In his previous life, Yan Yu had great respect for Teacher Mei, and in this life, having worked with her for a long time, he had grown to love her even more. Even if he was joking with a seductress, there was no reason to joke with Teacher Mei's reputation. He would never do that.

Therefore, Yan Yu pondered for a long time, until Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes were almost spitting fire, and then he gave an ambiguous answer:

"You think I would sleep with her? Why?"

Zhao Yuanzhen did not get a negative answer, and his heart was filled with sadness. He asked in a hateful voice:

"Why? How should I know why? Am I not as pretty as her, or am I not as good-looking as her? Or perhaps you are looking down on me because I come from a demon sect, right? In fact, what you really want to marry is a decent fairy, right?"

She talked a lot, leaving Yan Yu stunned on the spot.

Boy, I didn't know you had these low self-esteem complexes hidden inside you.

The appearance and figure are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye, so I won't elaborate. Whether you were born into a demonic sect or a righteous sect is something you have to do with the world of cultivation. What does it have to do with Yan Yu from Earth?
In fact, if Yan Yu were asked to choose, he would choose Mei Yingxue as his colleague and Zhao Yuanzhen as his lover. The reason is naturally self-evident.

I have always been honest in this regard.

Seeing Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes flushed, it was obvious that she was truly in love. Yan Yu also realized that the reason she was so self-deprecating was because she was deeply in love with him. Suddenly, his heart warmed up again and he said with a smile:

"You fool. How does your face and figure look like? Can't you just look in the mirror? As for your demonic origins, I've never cared. I've known your background since we met, so when have I ever discriminated against you?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he mentioned this, Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and all the doubts he had in the past came together.

Could it be that the little thief bullied me from head to toe because I came from a demon sect and he was afraid that I would be unruly and unruly? He didn't treat Yunjin, Ningning and the others like that!

Thinking of this, her anger erupted again.

I gave you my body and my heart, yet you're still doubting me! And you're even flirting with Mei Yingxue!

The witch no longer cared about whether Yan Yu and Mei Yingxue had an affair, because she knew that Yan Yu would definitely not tell her the truth - he just wanted to suppress me mentally!

The witch has figured out a way to crack it.

She grabbed Yan Yu's shoulders tightly, pulled him to the bed next to her, and then pounced on him fiercely.

I will make you powerless!
