Ji Yao felt confused, as if she was overwhelmed by sudden and huge pressure, making her not know what to do.

She was given only one month to complete the promotion from Lord Ling to Deputy Hall Master, and then to Hall Master and even Right Protector. This was harder than climbing to the sky!

"Hurry up." Mu Yunqing said suddenly.

"what?"

Ji Yao was stunned when she heard that, she thought she was dead and that it was an impossible task, but why was her master so calm?

Mu Yunqing has already begun to carefully consider the feasibility: "Kang Xiao's intentions are not right. If you can use her improper behavior to create some changes during this trip, and then you can make a move at the right time to turn the tide, it is not impossible to be promoted to deputy hall master. After that, the position of hall master, right protector... in one month, it is not impossible."

what?

One is a thinker, the other is a doer, is this the difference?

Wait, turn the tide?

She herself was no longer confident, and doubts suddenly surged in her mind: "Master, you don't need to test me. If I really managed to turn the tide, then Duanyue Sect might not participate in the siege of Hehuan Sect. Wouldn't this mean that you have lost an important helper?"

Mu Yunqing's face was still calm, and her tone was as calm as the surface of the water without wind: "One less is not a small difference."

Besides, I have already infiltrated the Hehuan Sect. To encircle and suppress the Hehuan Sect, what else do I need? A small Duanyue Sect is just right to pave the way.

Ji Yao was totally confused, but then she thought, anyway, not everything would go as smoothly as Mu Yunqing had guessed.

Especially now, the plot of the original book has been completely broken——

The original book did not have the story of the witch from the Hehuan Sect luring the master to the Duanyue Sect, nor did it have a plan to persuade them to withdraw from the siege. This journey was already full of unknowns and variables.

On the other hand, because of Ji Yao's previous ruthless sarcasm towards Kang Xiao, Kang Xiao not only did not cause trouble again, but instead was thinking in his mind how to take this opportunity to get rid of this annoying stumbling block.

"Humph, I worked hard for two hundred years to get the position of deputy hall master. Why does a little girl like Ji Yao want to soar to the sky by relying on her status as a young master?"

"The Sect Master has more than one child, Gong Chengjue. She is so arrogant. Wait until the eldest daughter comes out of confinement and see if Gong Chengjue, the third daughter, can continue to show off her power!"

"I'm afraid I'll have to keep my tail between my legs by then!"

Kang Xiao's heart was filled with resentment and jealousy, and the flame of revenge was burning in his heart.

When they arrived near the majestic Duanyue Mountain, Kang Xiao, with a bit of anxiety and calculation, deliberately looked for Ji Yao who was adapting to the new environment.

She put on a fake smile and said earnestly, "Ji Yao, if we want the Duan Yue Sect to give up participating in the suppression of the He Huan Sect, we must show enough sincerity."

"And since the young master intends to let you come here for training, isn't this a perfect opportunity? Otherwise, why don't you try to communicate?"

Ji Yao frowned slightly when she heard this, and said directly: "I don't know how! Let Deputy Hall Master Kang make the full decision."

Kang Xiao disagreed, with a hint of coldness hidden in his smile, and said flatteringly: "Don't worry, Miss Ji Yao, you just need to stand up bravely and express our wishes boldly."

"If we really can't come to an agreement, I will be there to help. I will come forward to resolve the issue at the critical moment."

She sneered in her heart and made up her mind: Today, whether you are willing or not, Ji Yao must do it. If the negotiation fails, I will take over and turn the tide, so that the young master can see my true strength.

Ji Yao felt helpless. She really didn't want to get involved in these complicated disputes.

To be honest, she wants to survive, but she also wants to be the worst!

At this moment, Mu Yunqing on the side coughed lightly, interrupting this slightly awkward conversation.

Ji Yao immediately whispered to Mu Yunqing: "I really don't know anything."

Mu Yunqing said in a calm voice: "You were quite good when you persuaded Hua Man."

Ji Yao cried out in her heart: It’s unfair, I was able to convince Hua Man based on my understanding of the original plot, and now a seductress from the Hehuan Sect is asked to negotiate with a famous and upright sect like the Duanyue Sect... These are two completely different things!

She lowered her voice and whispered in Mu Yunqing's ear: "I am a demon girl from the Hehuan Sect. If I go to negotiate with those high-ranking and upright sects, I'm afraid I'll be treated as a heretic and kicked out before I even enter the door. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

Mu Yunqing heard this, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "It seems that you are very aware of your identity."

She really couldn't stand Ji Yao's stupidity, and she also saw that Kang Xiao was holding a grudge and deliberately making things difficult for her.

But although Ji Yao was just a bully, what she did was not wrong, otherwise Kang Xiao would only become worse.

Especially since Ji Yao was protecting her! That's why she wanted to give Ji Yao some pointers.

He whispered a more practical suggestion: "In fact, we can first find a way to bribe some of the Duan Yue Sect's disciples, test their opinions, and find out the details. Wouldn't this be safer?"

Ji Yao suddenly realized and slapped her forehead, saying with surprise: "Ah, there is such a way? Why didn't I think of it!"

Kang Xiao, who was standing by, saw the interaction between Ji Yao and Mu Yunqing, especially that he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, and felt that he was being kept in the dark.

She couldn't help but reveal a bit of impatience and jealousy on her face: "Master Ji Yao, time is running out. It's a bit inappropriate for you to still flirt here..." There was obvious dissatisfaction and warning in her tone.

Ji Yao turned around after hearing this. She spoke at a steady pace, as if every word was carefully considered. "I was just thinking, if we just barge in without any disguise, we might encounter fierce resistance before we even enter the gate. It would be better for us to find a disciple from the sect to scout the way first and find out the details before making any plans."

The corners of Kang Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and his mind was calculating.

She originally thought that Ji Yao was only interested in currying favor with the powerful and had no opinions of her own, so perhaps she could be used as a chess piece to test the situation.

But the girl in front of him actually learned to be roundabout, which made Kang Xiao feel nervous——

Could it be that the cauldron "Shishi" next to Ji Yao was responsible?

Kang Xiao muttered to himself, Ji Yao has such terrible luck, she only found a cauldron, but she unexpectedly refined a military strategist!

Despite the ups and downs in her heart, Kang Xiao still maintained the demeanor of a hall master in front of the disciples. She gently uttered a word: "Okay."

Then, she pointed her finger at a disciple behind her, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty: "You, go and invite a disciple from Duan Yue Sect. Remember, be respectful. More courtesy is better."

Kang Xiao paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming, and added: "Choose a disciple from the core circle. The information about those ordinary disciples is limited and they are of little help to us."

After a moment, a disciple was hurriedly brought in. She had a bit of baby fat on her round face, which should have made her look adorable, but now she was tied up and had lost her usual liveliness.

There was a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth, preventing her from even uttering the most basic protest.

Kang Xiao pretended to be relaxed and raised his eyebrows at Ji Yao: "The person has been brought here, Lord Ji Yao, what do you think?"

"What do you think? I think you are the best!"

Ji Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is not an invitation, it's kidnapping! Treating people like this, do you still expect to get any useful information? It's really stupid! Or..."

Her voice deepened: "Kang Xiao, did you do this on purpose?"

"Don't slander me!" Kang Xiao was furious: "I will also report any false accusations!"

Ji Yao took a few steps forward and quickly untied the restraints on the disciple's mouth.

In an instant, a burst of angry shouting broke the original silence.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of the leader of the Duanyue Sect! If you catch me, just wait for my father to cut you into pieces!"

Deputy Hall Master Kang Xiao was delighted when he heard this. He winked and said with a smile, "Hey, we caught a big fish with this one grab! Our luck is really good!"

Ji Yao secretly groaned in her heart, this was not good luck at all, it was clearly a mess.

The original plan was to find a young disciple, show him favor, and let her create chaos from within.

Now, the leader’s precious daughter has been captured. Wouldn’t the plan to divide the opponent through internal conflicts be completely ruined?

Ji Yao was thinking about how to ease the situation, but unexpectedly Kang Xiao beside her sneered.

There was a bit of disdain in his tone: "Besides, what's wrong with being the daughter of the leader? Is my Hehuan Sect afraid of your small Duanyue Sect?"

"If you really have the guts to join the conspiracy to besiege the Hehuan Sect, I will use my secret method now to refine you into my cauldron and let you know how powerful my Hehuan Sect is!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and her voice was filled with obvious panic: "Hehuan Sect? Ah, no, don't do this to me..."

She was frightened by this sudden threat and her face turned pale, her eyes full of despair: "I... I'm already engaged, please don't turn me into a cauldron, as long as you let me go, I can make my father promise that he will never interfere in the affairs of the Hehuan Sect, okay?"

Seeing this, Ji Yao rolled her eyes again, and became even more dissatisfied with Kang Xiao's excessive behavior: "Come on, stop scaring the little girl with these words."

"If the mission fails, I won't be able to get any benefits, so what benefits can you get?"

Hearing this, Kang Xiao thought for a moment and then shut up.

Ji Yao deliberately adjusted her expression, trying to show a friendly and gentle smile: "Actually, we came here just to talk..."

"I don't want to be a cauldron, Daddy, save me!" Yue Ling fainted due to excessive tension.

Ji Yao scratched her head helplessly, "What should I do now?"

Kang Xiao, on the other hand, acted as if it was none of his business. He spread his hands and threw the question back: "Master Ji, please handle it!"

We could only place Yue Ling in the carriage first.

When Yue Ling slowly woke up, the first thing she let out was a series of terrified screams.

Mu Yunqing's voice was cold and calm, and seemed to have the power to calm people: "Don't worry, you are safe and not hurt."

Yue Ling realized that she was indeed safe and sound, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then she looked up and her eyes met Mu Yunqing, who was not wearing a veil and had a pretty face but a cold expression. She was stunned for a moment.

She had never seen such a good-looking person before, with a face that was incredibly beautiful, yet so cold that people couldn't look at him directly, and felt ashamed of themselves.

The next moment, she lowered her head and bit her lower lip: It is rumored that the witch of the Hehuan Sect is good at seduction, and it is suitable for both men and women, young and old! As expected, she was almost bewitched.

Facing Yue Ling's reaction, Mu Yunqing guessed most of it.

She pursed her lips and said, "I am not a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. If you want to contact your family, just send a signal and ask them to pick you up."

Ji Yao was a little surprised when she heard this: "So direct?"

However, when she met Mu Yunqing's unquestionable cold eyes, she shut her mouth tactfully: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yue Ling was secretly delighted, thinking that these people were simply stupid. Once she sent out a distress signal, her father Fu Qing would surely rush to the rescue. She would see how they would respond then!

As soon as the signal was given, Kang Xiao rushed over and questioned angrily.

"How is the message going? How did you let this girl send the signal without permission? Don't you take me, the deputy hall master, seriously at all?"

Ji Yao, however, acted cynical and was not at all as obedient as she was in front of Mu Yunqing.

She answered casually, "Oh, sorry, Deputy Hall Master, I really hadn't considered this!"

Then, she turned to look at Yue Ling, her eyes gleaming with a teasing light: "We just think that there is nothing to discuss with a little girl like her, so of course an adult must come."

Yue Ling looked at Ji Yao. Her peach blossom eyes seemed to contain infinite emotions yet were indifferent. In her eyes, they were both mysterious and charming. They were so much better than Kang Xiao's unpleasant face that looked like the god of thunder!

The next moment, she was shocked again: it was rumored that the witches in the Hehuan Sect were all good at seduction techniques, and as expected, this one almost bewitched her.

Not long after, Yue Zhongshan rushed to the scene in a hurry. He recognized the mark of the Hehuan Sect at a glance. His heart tightened, and he directly used his magic weapon, the Five Mountains Hammer, to smash it:

"You bold thief, give me back my daughter!"
