I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 65 Decision

Faced with Xia Jue's invitation, which was like a big bad wolf trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood, Youyou instinctively resisted.

She looked at Xia Xue for help.

Xia Xue remained unmoved.

Nonsense. Even if Youyou had no intention of killing her, isn't imprisonment still a form of harm?

The moment Youyou accepted the mission, the two of them were destined to be enemies.

The reason she was so friendly to her was simply because she was the female lead. Xia Xue was always more tolerant of female leads with strong moral values ​​who gave her treasure chests than others, but that was all. When it came to her own safety, even the Emperor himself wouldn't be able to help.

Seeing Xia Xue's completely indifferent expression, and then looking at Youyou's fearful expression towards Xia Xue, Xia Jue suddenly had an idea. She smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Xia Xue's older sister, Xia Jue, and the general manager of Black Shield Company. Xia Xue also works at Black Shield. If you join the company, it's equivalent to joining Xia Xue's faction."

Xia Xue had already planned to join Black Shield to accumulate karma, so she did not object.

Seeing Xia Xue's tacit agreement, Youyou's eyes lit up, and she immediately said loudly, "Then I'll join Black Shield."

Xia Jue laughed and said, "Alright, then you can come back to Black Shield with me later. I'll arrange a place for you to stay. You don't have a place to stay in Jiangcheng yet, right? Haha."

It's also about keeping a close watch on her, so that Youyou won't cause any more trouble.

After all, they had just surrendered.

Better safe than sorry.

Xia Xue's ears twitched as she heard the Black Shield troops arriving. She stretched and said to Xia Jue, "Sister, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back to rest now. I've had a lot of exercise today, so I need to go back and have a big meal and a good night's sleep."

As he spoke, he yawned and walked towards his motorcycle, waving to Xia Jue and Youyou with his right hand, which was not holding his helmet, behind his back.

"See you later."

Xia Jue glanced down at the shared location of the main team in the internal communication software, and her gaze towards Xia Xue softened.

"Xia Xue is always so thoughtful."

Xia Jue turned to look at Youyou, whose eyes were darting around, seemingly plotting something, and said with a smile, "Tell me, how could someone as meticulous as Xia Xue be so comfortable putting you and me together?"

Thinking of Xia Xue's unpredictable methods, Youyou sighed deeply and resignedly said, "Don't worry, I won't run away."

At most, all she could think about was running away.

I wouldn't dare hurt Xia Xue's sister.

Tianhe Building, top floor, CEO's office.

Xia Jun hung up Xia Jue's phone, a hint of worry flashing across his face.

"The intensity of these Netherfire attacks is increasing. Xia Xue can handle it now, but what if it exceeds her ability to cope later..."

Xia Jun turned his head to look in a certain direction, and finally made up his mind.

"Although this is my last resort to deal with the life-or-death crisis of my family, Xia Xue's safety is equally important."

Gu Garden.

Inside a bamboo house deep in the mountains.

Gu Jing and Yu Zhen sat facing each other, playing chess while marveling, "I never expected Xia Xue to be so strong."

As local bullies, once they get serious, it's quite easy for them to get information about Xia Xue in a timely manner.

"One expert in internal energy, eight experts in external energy, and a sharpshooter, tsk tsk, even we would be doomed to defeat this team. Xia Xue is indeed no ordinary girl."

The more Gu Jingyue understood Xia Xue, the more interested he became in her.

Yu Zhen's focus, however, was not on these things, but rather...

"Doesn't this further demonstrate that her legacy is extraordinary?"

Gu Jing thought of Xia Xue, who was only eighteen years old, and sighed again, "Yes, an eighteen-year-old peak-level expert in the Transformation Realm, and her almost precognitive deductive skills, young people these days are truly terrifying."

Yu Zhen picked up a black piece and placed it in an empty space.

"Isn't this exactly what we wanted?"

Such strength and such a profound heritage make them most likely to possess the means to refine elixirs.

Gu Jing still felt that this matter was somewhat unreliable.

"Even if Xia Xue's lineage comes from the orthodox Taoist school, it cannot be confirmed that her lineage includes alchemy techniques. Moreover, even if her lineage does include alchemy techniques, how old is she, and how high is her alchemy level? These questions remain."

Yu Zhen, however, had inexplicably a lot of confidence in Xia Xue.

"Xia Xue is no ordinary person. Tell me, how could an ordinary person possess such formidable strength at her age? Such powerful deductive reasoning? And her medical skills... tsk tsk, don't forget that since ancient times, not only have medicine and martial arts been inseparable, but also alchemy. Isn't her medical skill proof of her mastery of alchemy?"

Gu Jing placed a white chess piece down, shook his head, and said, "You said it yourself, medicine and martial arts are inseparable. How can you be sure that her medical skills aren't derived from martial arts? And just because alchemy is inseparable doesn't mean she's an expert in alchemy. I haven't seen all martial artists become divine doctors. How can you guarantee that all orthodox Taoists are alchemy masters?"

Yu Zhen picked up a black chess piece, turned to look at the spot where they had first met, and said in a reminiscent tone, "You know, those of us who are proficient in the art of Pisces always have a strange intuition, and the moment I saw Xia Xue, I had a feeling that she was someone I couldn't possibly defeat. Do you understand what that means?"

Gu Jing's expression changed.

As one of the four great families of Xuanxiu in Jiangcheng, the Gu family has a certain understanding of the other three families.

"You mean, she is... the chosen one?"

Yu Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. It could just be some incredibly lucky genius. But whichever it is, things we think are impossible are always easy for them, aren't they?"

This time, Gu Jing finally took Xia Xue seriously.

"In that case, it is indeed necessary to take a gamble. Moreover, your real plan is to build a good relationship with someone who seems to be the chosen one in the early stages."

Yu Zhen placed the black piece on the chessboard and said with a smile, "Since the two don't conflict, why not kill two birds with one stone?"

Gu Jing glanced at the chessboard, holding a white piece in his hand, unable to make a move for a long time. He pointed at Yu Zhen and teased, "You old fox, you really won't do anything without a profit."

With that, he slammed down the white piece in his hand.

"I'm betting this time."

This time, Gu Jing finally made his stance clear.

Yu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with Xia Xue, who has the backing of the Huangliang Shen family, they can only get a share of the spoils by uniting together.

Gu Jing quickly pressed, "What are your plans next?"

Yu Zhen gently took a black piece from the chess box and placed it in the pre-set position.

"A decisive blow!"

Gu Jing had no time to worry about winning or losing the game of Go and asked anxiously.

"Say something!"

Yu Zhen smiled and said, "No rush, we still need to make some preparations. The time is not right yet."
