Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Yes, very good."

Seeing that Xu Yun readily acknowledged this point and understood his unspoken meaning, Wen Ronghuai nodded in satisfaction.

She didn't look down on Xu Yun; it was just that the gap between them was too great, like an insurmountable chasm.

Regardless of their ages, those who have developed feelings for Wen Siyue are either young masters from prestigious families or exceptionally talented individuals, all of whom are extremely outstanding.

In comparison, Xu Yun was just an ordinary cultivator. How could he be compared to those competing cultivators?

Fortunately, this person was well aware of the situation and did not take advantage of it, which is one of the few good qualities he possessed.

Thinking of this, Wen Ronghuai smiled and said softly, "Putting everything else aside, it is a fact that you saved Siyue's life. My Ruohe Wen family will naturally not overlook this. Therefore, this is a gift of thanks to you."

As Wen Ronghuai spoke, she lightly raised her hand, and a jade pendant floated out from her long sleeve and landed in Xu Yun's palm.

Xu Yun took a closer look and saw that the number three thousand was engraved on it.

"This is three thousand contribution points, which can be exchanged for many items in the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild. It's enough to repay your life-saving grace to Siyue."

At this point, Wen Ronghuai's smile faded, and he turned away without hesitation, leaving behind the words, "From now on, we owe each other nothing. I hope you take care of yourself."

"Thank you, senior. We respectfully see you off."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun respectfully bowed to the departing figure, displaying a very humble demeanor.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Ruohe Wen family would give him three thousand contribution points as a thank you gift.

In this way, not counting the contribution points he spent on exchanging resources for cultivation, Xu Yun now has a total of more than 7,000 contribution points.

We're getting closer to the Foundation Establishment Pill that requires 10,000 contribution points!

At the same time, Wen Ronghuai, who had arrived outside the main hall, reached out and smiled at Wen Siyue, who was standing with her arms crossed and puffing out her cheeks. "Let's go, we should go back to the Wen family's ancestral land in Ruohe. The elders are very concerned about you."

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Siyue's eyebrows drooped, revealing a troubled expression. She really wanted to spend more time with Young Master Xu.

However, the elders in the clan were already very worried about her, and it would be really inexcusable for them not to go back and share the good news.

Then Wen Siyue sighed, turned her head to the side, and pouted, "Okay, Siyue understands."

At the same time, Xu Yun also came out of the main hall and saw Wen Siyue and the other person.

"Young Master Xu, after I return to my clan to deliver the good news, I'll find some time to come see you again!"

Wen Siyue's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Xu Yun, and she became much more energetic. She waved goodbye to him.

"I will be waiting for Fairy Siyue at any time." Xu Yun bowed to her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Siyue was pulled by Wen Ronghuai, who gave Xu Yun a meaningful look before transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the streak of light vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Xu Yun glanced at it and then left the Muyun Chamber of Commerce's residence without taking it seriously.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you..."

At the same time, Wen Xinlan, who had been waiting outside, also saw the streak of light leave. She glanced cautiously at Xu Yun's profile, hesitant to speak.

Based on her understanding of the family and her attitude towards the eldest daughter of the Wen family, Xu Yun might suffer some setbacks during this meeting.

"Manager Wen, there's no need to say more. I've always been well aware of this."

Xu Yun shook his head, his face showing no trace of sadness or disappointment, but rather a smile as usual. "Never before, so how can I talk about losing it?"

Xu Yun had always been well aware that if he continued to associate with Wen Siyue, not only would the Ruohe Wen family object, but other people pursuing Wen Siyue would also have ill intentions towards him.

In other words, Wen Siyue herself is a huge whirlpool. If one unknowingly flows into it, there will inevitably be danger of death and annihilation.

Although Xu Yun was not afraid at all, and with his own strength and methods, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to gain any advantage, he did not want to reveal this unless necessary.

Besides, the Ruohe Wen family offered sufficient compensation, so the matter was settled.

"Fellow Daoist Xu..."

Seeing that Xu Yun seemed to have figured things out a long time ago, Wen Xinlan couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

You must know that she is the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Once you win her favor and marry her, you will definitely gain a very important position in the Ruohe Wen family.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't give up easily even if they saw the slightest sign of a breakthrough. However, Xu Yun was different. He always kept his position in mind and never had any extravagant hopes.

Wen Xinlan couldn't say whether this mindset was good or bad, but it did show that Xu Yun truly had no intention of getting involved in any romantic relationships.

He didn't even have any designs on the eldest daughter of the Wen family, let alone Wen Xinlan herself.

"Looks like it's not that I lack charm..."

Wen Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief. After figuring this out, she was able to let go of her resentment towards Xu Yun for always quietly rejecting her.

Even so, Wen Xinlan's affection for Xu Yun did not diminish; on the contrary, it grew stronger.

A person who understands themselves and has a persistent desire to improve will not be too bad, even if they lack talent.

After chatting with Wen Xinlan for a while, Xu Yun took his leave and returned to his cave.

.......

Time slipped by quietly, and several months passed.

Inkwind City Center.

Inside an elegant mansion.

"Hahaha--"

In the magnificent hall, Shi Han sat cross-legged, his smile too arrogant, his laughter even sounding distorted, yet nothing could alleviate the joy in his heart.

Over the past few days, he learned through the Zhao family's connections that Wen Siyue had been brought back to the Wen family in Ruohe and was ordered to stay at home.

Upon learning of this, Shi Han was immediately overjoyed. This action indicated that the Ruohe Wen family was also dissatisfied with Wen Siyue's contact with Xu Yun, and therefore specially placed her under house arrest.

On the surface, it was said that she should focus on her cultivation, but in reality, it was a warning to avoid contact with Xu Yun.

"Serves you right, Xu Yun, you really deserve it!!"

Shi Han laughed heartily. Previously, Wen Siyue had pressured him, not only taking away his apology gift, but also making Xu Yun pay nothing, while he himself had suffered a great loss.

Now that Wen Siyue is under house arrest, he no longer needs to worry about anything and can take revenge on Xu Yun for the previous humiliation.

In any case, judging from Ruohe Wenjia's attitude, they are unwilling to have any further involvement with Xu Yun.

"While this is a welcome development, it is of little importance for the time being."

Just then, Zhao Yunxuan, sitting in the main seat, spoke with a cold and beautiful expression, "Now that the patriarch of the Ruohe Wen family is about to abdicate, my Ziyu Zhao family and the Qingchuan Liu family are also about to determine the winner. During this period, we should not cause any more trouble and should do our best to handle that matter well."

Upon hearing this, Shi Han's expression turned serious. That matter concerned whether they could surpass the Qingchuan Liu family and allow the Ziyu Zhao family to successfully seize the throne of the next president of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the family attaches great importance to this matter, and compared with it, it is not a problem to postpone the revenge against Xu Yun.

"Very well, once my Ziyu Zhao family seizes the throne of the next president of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, taking revenge on Xu Yun will be a piece of cake."

Shi Han smiled coldly, as if he could already see that day coming.
