Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Securing the Right Training Ground Chapter 150: Securing the Right Training Ground As the days unfolded, reaching the fifteenth day since the grand sect assembly, Jiang Chen felt that Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing had ample time to fully assimilate the cultivation insights from their previous gathering.

Feeling confident in this, he decided to conclude his period of seclusion.

At dawn, Jiang Chen contacted Xie Xiaojing and arranged a new session to exchange insights.

To maintain courtesy and consideration, he asked her to facilitate the invitation to Ji Ruxue, effectively setting the stage for a collaborative three-way meeting aimed at deepening their understanding of cultivation.

After arranging the meeting with Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing, Jiang Chen did not depart immediately.

Instead, he chose to visit his master, Ji Mingxiu, first.

His main motive, beyond reinforcing their master-disciple relationship, was to persuade Ji Mingxiu to permit Ji Ruxue to join him on an outdoor training expedition.

This commitment was the initial promise he had made to Ji Ruxue, and it was one he was determined to uphold.

Fortunately, Ji Mingxiu was already contemplating pairing Jiang Chen with Ji Ruxue and was impressed by his recent displays of martial prowess.

Considering these factors, as long as they remained within the safe boundaries of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, Jiang Chen saw no reason for Ji Mingxiu to refuse his request.

Thus, Jiang Chen made a concise suggestion, and after a brief period of contemplation, Ji Mingxiu agreed.

This prompt agreement surprised even Jiang Chen!

Immediately after the discussion, Jiang Chen took his leave from Ji Mingxiu.

He was soon joined by the punctual Xie Xiaojing, and together they headed to Ji Ruxue’s residence.

The nature of this meeting was quite different from the previous one.

This time, it was primarily Xie Xiaojing and Ji Ruxue who posed questions, with Jiang Chen providing the answers.

Given that Jiang Chen had recently demonstrated exceptional talent for enlightenment in front of Ji Mingxiu, it would not seem genuine for him to feign ignorance now.

As time gently passed, both Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing gained significant insights from their interaction with Jiang Chen.

However, they had yet to grasp the deeper nuances.

…

The meeting for the exchange of insights was nearing its end when Ji Ruxue, with a gleam of eager anticipation in her eyes, brought up their previous discussion.

“By the way, Jiang Chen, you mentioned earlier that you’d help persuade my father to allow me to go out for practical training, didn’t you?” “How did your persuasion go?” she inquired earnestly.

“How could I neglect matters concerning the Holy Maiden?” Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.

“Rest assured, Master has given his consent.

As long as we don’t stray too far, we’ll be fine.” “Of course, we can’t be away for too long, a month at most,” he added, his voice steady.

“Really?” Ji Ruxue exclaimed, her eyes alight with excitement.

“That’s wonderful!

I’ve been eager for a chance to step outside and breathe some fresh air.” “I feel the same!” Xie Xiaojing chimed in, her expression radiant.

“In that case,” Jiang Chen slightly inclined his head, inquiring, “Holy Maiden, have you decided where you wish to train?” “Well,” Ji Ruxue pondered, lightly stroking her petite, fair chin, “I have explored much of the Purple Heaven Holy Land with my father.” “I’m eager to visit a place I’ve not yet seen; otherwise, we might waste this rare opportunity,” she continued, her voice tinged with concern.

“But the Holy Lord insists we stay within certain limits,” Xie Xiaojing added thoughtfully, “And we’re constrained by time.

We only have a month.

It wouldn’t be practical to spend too much of it traveling, don’t you agree?” After a moment’s reflection, she proposed, “What if we seek out a region teeming with demonic beasts for our training?” “Absolutely not!” Ji Ruxue responded firmly, shaking her head.

“What benefit would that bring?

I’d rather not embark on such a tedious venture.” “Holy Maiden, there’s no need to rush,” Jiang Chen quickly reassured her.

“I’ll consult with others.

Surely, there’s a suitable training site near the Purple Heaven Holy Land, one that remains unexplored by you.” Two weeks earlier, he had enlisted Rong Liangcai’s help to divert Fang Yuan, aiming to prevent him from attending the grand sect assembly.

Rong Liangcai and his group had devised a plan, assigning Fang Yuan to patrol a region frequently visited by demonic beasts within the sect.

Even as the grand sect assembly commenced, numerous disciples were dispatched to monitor the surrounding areas of the sect.

This pattern of behavior indicated that the demonic beasts around the Purple Heaven Holy Land were unusually active.

Given this uptick in activity, it was plausible that new locales suitable for cultivation had emerged, potentially offering fresh opportunities for training without straying too far from the established boundaries of the sect.

“Make your inquiries at once!” Ji Ruxue urged Jiang Chen, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

“I’ll start right away!” Jiang Chen replied with enthusiasm.

He quickly contacted Rong Liangcai, requesting him to compile a list of all cultivation-friendly sites near the Purple Heaven Holy Land, particularly focusing on any newly emerged ones.

Despite Rong Liangcai’s modest cultivation talents within the ranks of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, his several hundred years of experience in the region had granted him an extensive network and a wealth of knowledge.

These assets made him a vital resource for locating ideal training grounds.

Shortly after Jiang Chen made his request, Rong Liangcai recommended a notable location: the Red Maple Heavenly Valley.

Renowned for its stunning vistas, the valley had recently turned into a breeding ground for demonic beasts from the Heavenly Origin realm.

The sect had conducted an initial survey of the area, confirming that no demonic beasts from the Inquiring Journey realm were present.

This marked the valley as challenging yet manageable.

Additionally, since no one had been tasked with subduing these creatures yet, it presented a unique opportunity for cultivators at Ji Ruxue’s level to refine their skills in a somewhat controlled environment.

Finding the Red Maple Heavenly Valley quite suitable, Jiang Chen recommended it to Ji Ruxue.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s description, Ji Ruxue exclaimed, “Red Maple Heavenly Valley?!

That name is new to me.

I don’t think I’ve been there before!” “Then, let’s make our way to the Red Maple Heavenly Valley!” she declared, quickly making her decision.

“Alright, we’ll head to the Red Maple Heavenly Valley,” Jiang Chen promised, as he and Xie Xiaojing exchanged confirming nods of agreement.

“I can hardly contain my excitement!” Ji Ruxue said animatedly, rising to her feet with a spirit full of anticipation.

“I’ll start our preparations right away.

We depart at first light tomorrow.” [Ding!

You’ve successfully increased your favor with the unpursued heroine, Ji Ruxue.

Protagonist Fang Yuan’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points!] [Ding!

You’ve earned 400 points of Villain Value!] As these system notifications echoed in his mind, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smirk inwardly in triumph.

“Very well, we’ll reconvene tomorrow,” he announced, giving a final nod.

Getting up gracefully from his seat, Jiang Chen took his leave, the sounds of Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing’s excited chatter about the journey ahead trailing behind him as he walked away.

…

As Jiang Chen made his way back, he felt pleased with the progress of his plans.

Yet, he remained vigilant, aware that dealing with the matters of Heavenly Fate required constant attention.

‘Ji Ruxue is the heroine who has yet to be pursued,’ he pondered silently.

‘Any incident involving her could eventually lead back to the protagonist, Fang Yuan.’ He considered the upcoming training expedition.

Although it appeared unrelated to Fang Yuan, Jiang Chen knew better than to underestimate its potential implications.

‘I must approach this training with utmost caution,’ he thought, reflecting on the possible consequences.

With these concerns in mind, Jiang Chen retrieved his transmission jade token and sent a discreet message to Rong Liangcai, instructing him to keep a close watch on Fang Yuan’s movements.

Currently, Fang Yuan was the focus of considerable attention, continually visited by numerous figures.

Amidst this flurry of activity, Rong Liangcai and his associates were confident that their clandestine endeavors would go unnoticed.

Upon his return to the Autumn Water Palace, Jiang Chen immediately resumed his cultivation, readying himself for any challenges that might emerge during their upcoming journey.
