Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

In that instant, Tang Qi's face underwent a dramatic change.

The lady in white could clearly see it happening: first shock, then confusion, followed by bewilderment, then realization, and finally, her expression morphed into anger.

So many changes happened so quickly that even she was somewhat taken aback.

"Very well, very well, very well!"

Tang Qi extended her fingers, rough and wrinkled from long hours of Artifact Refining, and pointed at the lady in white, her eyes brimming with anger. "I understand now! So this was your plan all along!"

"Do you still plan to deceive me now?"

The lady in white was startled. Did I say something wrong?

"What kind of person is Junior Brother Wang Mu?" Tang Qi said indignantly. "He has the heart of a hero and extraordinary talent. During the entrance examination for our Sword Sect, he relied on his own strength and achieved first place, becoming a disciple of our Sword Sect."

"Especially since, for a fellow disciple sister he had never met, he would offer his help and bestow treasures upon her."

"Yet in your words, he's become someone callous and unfaithful?" Tang Qi instantly understood. She looked at the lady in white, her tone as resolute as a divorcing couple holding their divorce certificate, without the slightest hint of doubt. "He could never be such a person! Don't even think about making me help you with these things!"

The lady in white was dumbfounded. What's going on? This person knows Wang Mu? That's impossible. How long has Wang Mu been with the Sword Sect? Even if she knows him, it couldn't be like this, right? Has that guy bewitched her or what?

"Little Qi, what's going on with you?" the lady in white had to ask. "When did you meet him?"

"Yes, a few days ago, I indeed did not know Junior Brother Wang Mu," Tang Qi pointed to herself and scoffed. "But do you know how I ended up in this state?"

"How did you get like this?" The lady in white had an ominous premonition.

And so, Tang Qi simply recounted the events of the past few days.

"Do you understand now?" Tang Qi spoke with an air of righteous indignation. "How noble is Junior Brother Wang's character? Upon hearing about my troubles, he didn't hesitate to offer his treasured Divine Fish to help me seek justice. How could you accuse such a gallant and righteous man of abandoning you and being faithless?"

"Heavenly Immortal Fish..." The lady in white sized up Tang Qi from head to toe, pondering, but then she was even more perplexed. Is that guy an idiot? To give away something so precious just to defend a fellow disciple sister he had never even met?

The lady in white lapsed into silence.

She felt a strange sense of disorientation, as if she was recalling the figure standing atop a Tiger-Faced Demon after a fierce battle in the Divine Wood Forest, his upper body bare…

Seeing Tang Qi's demeanor, the lady in white knew that her plan had failed again.

There was a moment of silence.

"A man of heroic courage…" the lady in white chuckled. "If it's really as you say, then why didn't he rescue me when he saw me surrounded by fierce beasts in the forest? I certainly didn't lie to you about that..."

"If Junior Brother Wang didn't rescue you, then there must be something wrong with you!" Tang Qi snorted coldly. "It's definitely not his fault."

The lady in white was silent.

She had a point! For a moment, she had no retort.

Then, as if she had a sudden realization, Tang Qi's eyes reddened with anger as she glared at the lady in white. "I see! You're coveting Junior Brother Wang! From beginning to end, you wanted to use me! And now, you're trying to get me to supervise him for you, right? Hahaha… I finally understand!"

"Let's sever ties! From now on, we'll have no more dealings with each other!"

Having said that, Tang Qi mounted her flying sword and left with a sweep of her sleeve.

The lady in white remained silent.

"A woman not preoccupied with love truly has her wisdom elevated by more than just a notch," the lady in white sighed. "A year-long plan, gone just like that. All because she met this guy a few days ago…"

"With that charm, why go to the Sword Sect to learn swordsmanship? Come to the Fengyue Sect and learn the arts of romance; becoming invincible in the world wouldn't be impossible..."

"I had planned to take the opportunity to observe your movements in the Sword Sect and understand more... Now, look at this mess..."

For a while, the lady in white stood on the mountaintop with a distressed expression, the silhouette intermittently flashing through her mind.

She also couldn't understand how that guy could just do that.

My plans were suddenly thrown into disarray. I had intended to play hard to get, using the matter of her appearance to firmly control Tang Qi, but unexpectedly...

"I really don't believe this... Hmph!"

「」

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, for breaking free from your bonds, seeing through yourself, and achieving bright enlightenment of your true heart."

「Heavenly Sword Peak.」

Wang Mu congratulated Senior Sister Tang Qi with a cupped fist salute.

At this moment, Tang Qi radiated a confident glow. Her eyes no longer held the dazed and desolate look of before, nor were they filled with sorrow and love woes.

The Senior Sister had already explained everything about the incident clearly.

Listening to her story, that woman was indeed the one I hadn't saved that day. What a coincidence.

"She was spouting nonsense, fabricating stories to deceive me. She must have harbored resentment against you, Junior Brother, at that time," Tang Qi said with a light smile, "hoping to use me to watch over you."

"Unfortunately, she never could have imagined that your nature, Junior Brother, far exceeded her expectations."

Wang Mu was silent.

This Travel incident is quite interesting. If I hadn't triggered it, or hadn't intervened after triggering it, Senior Sister Tang would most likely have been manipulated by the latter, then secretly spied on me within the Sword Sect, becoming her pawn... Damn. The Cultivation World is really not simple. Just because I didn't save her that time, she's treating me like this? I've always felt this woman was strange. A disciple of the Canglang Dao Sect? That identity is very questionable; she might well be a demoness from the Fengyue Sect in disguise. If that's the case, then the encounter in the forest back then must have been her attempt to abduct disciples of the Sword Sect, and I just happened to stumble upon it... Yes... Thinking this far, I think I understand.

"Junior Brother, if it weren't for you this time, I fear I still wouldn't have come to my senses..." Tang Qi became somewhat emotional. "Sadly, being merely an Outer Peak Disciple, I have nothing of value to offer you in return..."

"It's fine; we are all fellow disciples," Wang Mu said, waving his hand.

It wasn't that he was being magnanimous, but rather that in Travel events, one often shouldn't focus only on immediate benefits. Some Travel events are drawn out, and there might not be any reward until the final outcome is reached.

As the saying goes in fishing, it's about casting a long line to catch a big fish.

At this moment, Tang Qi pondered for a moment, then said, "However, I have a secret to tell you, Junior Brother."

"A secret?" Wang Mu said in surprise.

"Yes," Tang Qi deliberated. "Three years ago, when Elder Yan was Crossing Tribulation, all peaks of the Sword Sect were preparing for it. Our Yijian Peak was ordered to create a Divine Treasure to assist Elder Yan in Crossing Tribulation, but this Divine Treasure required countless materials. So, a few years before Elder Yan's tribulation, disciples from each peak of the Sword Sect, especially us from Yijian Peak, were dispatched to go out on experiential training to search for various materials."

Wang Mu, hearing it was related to Yan Qingwu, knew this secret was likely not simple.

"We Outer Peak Disciples... well, at that time I had just reached Foundation Establishment... A Foundation Establishment cultivation level within Yijian Peak was considered slightly above average among Outer Peak Disciples."

At Heavenly Sword Peak, Senior Brother Su Yu with his Foundation Establishment cultivation is already a Direct Disciple, Wang Mu thought.

"I joined many disciples from the peak, traveling to various places in search of materials for forging the Magic Treasure. We were tasked with finding a material called Thousand Yuan Heavy Crystal Ore. Our sect's disciples traveled across the Huangtian Continent for many months and finally found this material in a peculiar ancient underground mine."

Tang Qi said with a reminiscent look, "But when we returned from that ancient underground mine, we discovered that the place had vanished, as if it had never existed. At that time, we didn't think much of it and all returned. But I felt there was something strange about that place, so over the following years, I went back several times in secret..."

"Eventually, I discovered the oddity."

As she spoke, Tang Qi said with a mysterious expression, "That ancient underground mine only opens once a year, during a fixed period in mid-year. Over these years, I've only gone a few times, but each time, I brought back some rare and uncommon refining materials."

"This is also because I have a weaker constitution and am not good at mining. That underground mine is gloomy and unusual, greatly affecting cultivators and extremely dangerous. But the minerals there are very rare; the deeper one goes, the hotter it gets..."

Wang Mu listened, his heart stirring.

This is obviously a special mining site!
