Mission: Seduce the Master!

As the evening approached, Xie Qing sat on the balcony of the hotel he had rented for a week.

And yes, he simply bought out all the rooms for a week, so for some time the hotel would not be operating, which caused some disturbance among tourists and travelers.

However, Xie Qing did not care about their opinion, as he did not want to share a room with anyone else, and he did not like the presence of strangers.

The reason they did not return to the sect was simple - Xie Qing wanted to relax, and Liu Yan was interested in discussing a certain issue.

"You look quite relaxed, considering the plan you've come up with..." a soft female voice sounded behind the young man.

Turning his head, Xie Qing saw Liu Yan approaching him, dressed in her usual hanfu. The young man smiled faintly.

"Should I be worried? I have a strange character, but I am terribly stubborn and selfish. That's the worst in me," Xie Qing replied with a light laugh.

"Maybe we're alike in some ways," Liu Yan replied with a cold smile: "That's why I won't agree to your plan."

"And why is that?"

"It's dangerous."

"It's even more dangerous to do nothing."

Xie Qing calmly looked into Liu Yan's yellow eyes, which seemed somewhat cold and detached. The atmosphere tensed.

However, suddenly Liu Yan's expression relaxed, and she sighed.

"Did you... tell Xu Mei about this?"

"No, but I plan to, as soon as I discuss my plan with you," the young man replied, looking as honest as possible.

When his Master's name was mentioned, Xie Qing showed nervousness, which seemed amusing to Liu Yan.

She sat down next to him and sighed.

"Working as a spy is too dangerous..."

"..."

Xie Qing smiled faintly.

His plan...

***

Going back a few days ago...

Xie Qing sat alone in his room, looking thoughtful. He recently received news that many spies had been found among the righteous cultivators, and even the sect master of the Resting Eagle Sect had allowed a scoundrel to be near him.

If it weren't for the fact that the righteous cultivators themselves were hiding the presence of spies to avoid chaos.

"A complete mess. There's no other way to put it. I can't understand what's going on. It's as if rats have gotten into a farmer's supplies and eaten everything, and he just stood and watched," Xie Qing thought, frowning: "It seems that the righteous cultivators consider themselves very smart, allowing such arrogance. How disgusting. Even a predator has to give its all to catch a rabbit..."

As a righteous cultivator, Xie Qing had his pride, and he also believed that his Dao surpassed others.

However, he tried not to be careless, even if his opponent was a weak cultivator.

"If we send spies... no, it's too late. Even if we manage to create a loophole in the barrier, it will be too dangerous. Moreover, who can be a good candidate... hm?"

The young man suddenly fell silent and strangely smiled.

"Interesting..."

***

Returning to the present time.

This crazy plan had occurred to him a long time ago. However, even with all his desire, he could not just go and fight against the devilish cultivators, as the mere penetration inside would become a difficult task.

Moreover, there was the question of how to hide his Qi. After all, as is known, devilish cultivators have their own devilish Qi, and in addition, Negative Karma.

A cultivator without these two qualities would be easily detected. That's why Xie Qing considered it necessary to discuss this with Liu Yan.

"Opening the barrier is already a difficult task, you understand?" Liu Yan said, not completely rejecting his idea, but not accepting it either. She explained: "Although we used to be able to open and close the barrier at will, now there are difficulties, and everything has become complicated.

We will need a lot of strength to open the barrier, moreover, this will attract attention from the other side."

The woman frowned when she mentioned the attention. This part was the most difficult because there were two cultivators at the Transcendence level among the devilish cultivators who had become even stronger over the years.

The four of them would have to make a considerable effort just to hold them back. But for someone at their level, remembering Xie Qing's aura would be easier than easy, and finding him - a task of a few seconds.

"This is a reckless, dangerous, and most likely, unsuccessful plan, Xie Qing. You should abandon this idea. Although we also want to send reconnaissance, it will cost us too many resources and time, and the losses will be enormous, do you understand?" Liu Yan explained, looking gloomy.

"Financial losses are, of course, bad. However, we can prepare guinea pigs," Xie Qing replied, saying this in a carefree voice.

"You don't understand!" getting a little angry, Liu Yan shouted: "We're talking about human lives!"

"You don't understand," Xie Qing continued in the same calm voice, and his speech was confident: "We will lose a hundred, a thousand... maybe even ten thousand lives trying to spy on the devilish cultivators. But we will lose a million, ten million, and hundreds of millions of lives if we don't do it!"

"This..."

Liu Yan didn't know what to say, so she fell silent for some time. She also understood that these were necessary sacrifices, but because the chances were extremely low, she didn't want to agree to this hastily.

"Miss Liu Yan, I'm not asking you to start implementing this plan immediately. It will take years, and I'm sure that by joining forces, the Righteous Path will be able to get back on its feet!" Xie Qing honestly replied, looking a little agitated.

"..." Liu Yan fell silent and looked at Xie Qing with a dry gaze. And then she asked one question: "What do you want?"

"Yes?"

The young man smiled faintly as if he had been expecting this question.

"The Source of Evil."

"!!!"

Liu Yan was shocked.

"Where did you learn about this?!"

"I read it in a book..."

Xie Qing shrugged, looking nonchalant. His answer, of course, did not satisfy Liu Yan.

The Source of Evil.

The power that only the most corrupt cultivator of the Devilish Path possesses. It is said that the Source of Evil can even grow into the Seed of the Demon in the future, which will help them become a true demon.

However, Xie Qing needed it for something else. To nourish his bloodline.

The Golden Dragons were the Lords of Heaven. One of their roars destroyed worlds, and a flick of their tail - created new ones.

And there was something that no one knew about them... they could absorb Evil Energy and Negative Karma.

Xie Qing had gained this understanding at some point. This happened after the Negative Karma was removed from his wound.

And, according to his calculations, by absorbing the Source of Evil, he would be able to awaken his bloodline at once in three stages and develop it. This would help raise the level of cultivation.

Liu Yan fell silent. Xie Qing also did not rush to say anything.

He could not give up this opportunity. Yes, it was hard, dangerous in places, but this was the easiest way to raise his cultivation level.

It seemed to him that if he could not reach the peak of cultivation in this world by the age of a hundred, misfortune would await him.

And sometimes he felt a weak gaze on himself. Someone was watching him. However, there was no hostility in this gaze, so Xie Qing ignored it.

After an hour, Liu Yan came to her senses and muttered with a serious face...

"I'll talk about it at the meeting."

"Thank you..."

Xie Qing smiled faintly, feeling a slight headache. He could already imagine what it would be like when he returned home.

***

"You should have discussed this with me in advance..."

"I know. However, Master, I needed to understand the whole situation first."

"You... stubborn boy!"

Xie Qing sat in his room in the lotus position, cleansing his Qi after cultivation. In front of him stood Xu Mei.

Her usual smile, even her embarrassed behavior, disappeared. Only coldness and anger remained.

"Liu Yan should have explained it to you. Your venture is too dangerous and can lead to many unnecessary sacrifices."

"However, our inaction has already brought many victims, hasn't it?" Xie Qing replied, looking serious. He looked into his Master's eyes and gently smiled, standing up and approaching her: "Master. You should understand the whole situation. I will take care not of mortals, but of you and my loved ones!"

"Xie Qing..."

Xu Mei sighed and allowed herself to fall into the young man's embrace. Feeling his strong chest and the gentle touches of his fingers on her head, the woman's heart melted, and her anger began to dissipate.

Was she still angry? Partly, the woman could not believe that her foolish disciple would undertake something so dangerous.

The responsibility would be a heavy burden on his shoulders. Even though his intentions were not pure, the cultivation world would believe in him. Their faith would become his support... and shackles.

Xu Mei herself knew what it was like. There was too much responsibility, and that's why she preferred to disappear from the public eye after creating the sect and strengthening it.

However, seeing his determination and his goal... Xu Mei could only sigh.

"Are you sure about the Source of Evil?" she asked seriously.

Now they were not lovers. But Master and disciple.

"That's right. I won't say it will be problem-free, but I won't say it will be a failure. In case of success, I will receive a significant increase in power and bloodline!" Xie Qing explained, not pretending to be something unknown.

"That is, there is a chance of failure, and it is equal to the chance of success. 50/50, the situation is not too bad, but not good either..."
