Primordial Cultivator



Once Yan Meixu calmed down and returned to her usual composure, Yang Wei apologized again for his previously ignorant remark.

Everyone had their own secrets, and not just him alone. Yet he didn't keep that in mind and agitated Yan Meixu in the process. 

"It's fine, Yang Wei. It's actually a relief for me to finally say those aloud to someone. Keeping it in my heart alone for so many years has been… suffocating, to say the least." Yan Meixu smiled lightly.

Yang Wei nodded his head in agreement.

When one is in such a pain and dilemma, having a person to talk to would be extremely nice. Otherwise, they would just explode one day when they could no longer retain their hatred. 

"Anyway, how should we plan ahead to screw the Yi Clan over, Yan Meixu?" Yang Wei asked. Since the misunderstandings are now cleared out, it was time for them to discuss the real business. 

"You can continue with your disguise act to fool the Jang Clan to assist you. As for me, I will gather intelligence for you and assist you from the shadows with the Flowery Restaurant as my disguise." Yan Meixu calmly replied. 

"Oh, you have an intelligence network?"

"Obviously, how else was I supposed to know of your appearance today in the Trinity Plaza. You might have been able to disguise yourself well, but did you forget about taking the disguise off once?" 

Yang Wei became dumbfounded when she dropped a hint to him.

Yes, there was a time when he had taken off his disguise once, and it was during his confrontation with Kong Yusheng. 

"You had spies in the Kong Clan?" He exclaimed in shock. Although the Kong Clan wasn't on par with the Yi Clan, it was still a powerhouse within the Central Zone.

Thus, Yang Wei couldn't imagine Yan Meixu managing to plant spies in such a powerhouse clan.

Like shouldn't there be a screening process in the Kong Clan before they accept any members?

A big clan like that shouldn't be careless enough to accept any new people without checking their background details. 

Meanwhile, almost like she knew what he was thinking, Yan Meixu kindly explained to him, "Yang Wei, the resources in this cultivation world are extremely limited. Despite how vast the land is, there are simply not enough natural resources around for every single cultivator we have." 

"What does that have to do with spies being planted in the Kong Clan?" Yang Wei couldn't comprehend. If resources are scarce, then it was more of the reason for the Kong Clan to not accept any strangers. 

Yan Meixu breathed out a defeated sigh when Yang Wei didn't understand her meaning.

"Since resources are scarce and people would always fight for more resources, then it's a given that each clan would want to recruit more cultivators for them to command. Hence, there is usually not much screening process in recruiting cultivators to be an outer disciple." Yan Meixu explained. 

And she continued, "The spies I planted are naturally rogue cultivators who have worked their way up the ladder. And with my secret technique that they learned, they are able to conceal themselves even in the presence of an expert like Kong Yusheng to obtain information." 

Yang Wei had his jaw dropped when he finally realized her meaning. She had spent a lot of time and effort planting spies everywhere. 

With those spies being in her command, she could essentially obtain as much valuable information as she wanted.

After that, she could sell those kinds of information for a large number of spirit stones, effectively profiting and allowing her to use the fund into training more spies. 

'Such meticulous planning and working… Truly, one can never underestimate the power of a woman.' Yang Wei thought, wiping some of his sweat off his forehead.

Sometime later, Yang Wei cupped his fist and prepared to bid her farewell. 

He was scared that if he was to stay any longer, then he might be devoured whole. 

Unfortunately for him though, Yan Meixu had other plans before letting him go so easily.

"Weren't you getting acquainted with Jang Chinlong? That person might not be vicious, but he's definitely a shrewd one." Yan Meixu smiled calmly. 

"Right now, I bet he is busy scurrying around to find information regarding your disguise." She added.

And just when she said that, someone from outside knocked on their VIP room.

"Madam Yan, we have a request coming from the Flowery Abode." A female voice echoed. 

"Come on in," Yan Meixu responded. 

"Wait a minute, I'm not in disguise yet." Yang Wei said, quickly retrieving his black clothes to put on his disguise. 

Alas, it was too late when the female from outside had opened the door and saw his appearance.

Yang Wei couldn't even get the time to put on his clothes before getting caught red-handed.

'Great, what disguises…' Yang Wei thought, blaming it on himself for being careless.

"Relax, Yang Wei. She's a trusted subordinate of mine called Xiao Jiao. I wouldn't have let her in here if I didn't trust her, Yang Wei." Yan Meixu said in clarification. She wasn't a fool either to allow strangers to figure out Yang Wei's identity.

If she was, then her intelligence network would be a complete joke, and her so-called revenge would become unrealistic. 

"Xiao Jiao, is the request that the Flowery Abode received from Jang Chinlong?" Yan Meixu glanced at her and asked calmly.

Xiao Jiao was baffled for a moment. 

She closed the door behind her and nodded her head. 'There is really nothing that could be hidden from Madam Yan.' 

After that, Xiao Jiao walked forward, handing in the pamphlet to Yan Meixu. 

"Replying to Madam Yan. The request came about 10 minutes ago from Jang Chinlong. He was asking for information regarding a cultivator called Ni Yeye." 

"Ni Yeye?" Yan Meixu raised an eyebrow before making a funny look at Yang Wei. 

"Is this really the alias you were using, Yang Wei?" She asked, trying her best to suppress her laughter.
