ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 64: A secret plan



"Young noble, I saw people from Blue Wind Profound Palace earlier. Would you mind if I meet them?" Cang Yue asked Yun Wuji as they walked back to their residence.

"Of course, you can. In the future, you don't need to ask my permission for things like this," Yun Wuji replied. Though she called herself his 'maid,' he never saw her as a servant. In his mind, she was just playing around, and eventually, she'd stop pretending to be a maid.

"Hmm, thank you, young noble," Cang Yung nodded cheerfully and left.

The Blue Wind Profound Palace's temporary residence was a courtyard with eight separate rooms, a pavilion, a pond, and a small weapon rack.

This was the standard accommodation Heavenly Sword Villa provided for each participating team.

"Your Highness!" As soon as Cang Yue entered the courtyard, Palace Chief Dongfang Xiu greeted her with a deep bow. Normally, Dongfang Xiu wouldn't bow to anyone in the royal family except the emperor. However, seeing Cang Yue follow Yun Wuji like a humble servant earlier filled him with guilt, it was his failure that forced her to endure such an injustice.

If he hadn't ignorantly offended Yun Wuji, the princess wouldn't have been forced into the role of a lowly maid.

Dongfang Xiu was incredibly loyal to the royal family, so even though he knew Yun Wuji was a terrifying expert, someone he couldn't hope to challenge even with ten thousand of himself, he still couldn't accept that Cang Yue had become his maid.

"Greetings to Her Highness, the Princess!" Behind Dongfang Xiu stood the other members of the Profound Palace: four proud-looking youngsters, Vice Palace Chief Qin Wushang, and two elders.

The proud youngsters were the top geniuses of the Profound Palace. Three of them, all 20 years old, were this year's tournament participants, though two had already been eliminated today. The fourth, a 17-year-old, wasn't participating this time. Dongfang Xiu had brought him along to experience the tournament and prepare for the competition three years later.

Although two of them lost in their first battle, they still held their heads high in front of the princess. This level of 'confidence' was quite admirable.

"Hmm," Cang Yue nodded casually, she didn't spare these 'geniuses' more than a glance. In the past, she might have spent some time encouraging them, but after witnessing their performances in the arena and seeing their proud expressions now, she felt disappointed in them.

After spending time with Yun Wuji and his companions, Cang Yue's standards for people had risen. Now, in her eyes, these youngsters were nothing but trash, and their proud attitude despite their lackluster performances made her opinion of them plummet.

The people from the Profound Palace were quite curious about why Cang Yue was with the Frozen Cloud's group, but Dongfang Xiu politely told them fuck off. "You can go rest; I need to talk with the princess."

"Yes! Palace Chief!" They didn't dare to disobey him and, after bowing, quickly left. Compared to the princess, they obviously held much more respect for Half-Step Emperor Profound Dongfang Xiu.

"Your Highness..." After they were alone, Dongfang Xiu hesitated before speaking.

"Let's talk while we walk," Cang Yue interrupted him, moving ahead.

"...alright," Dongfang Xiu nodded and walked beside her.

"Princess, how have you been during this time? Did you suffer any grievances?" he asked as they walked.

"No, the young noble is an easygoing person. He's very kind to me and never treats me harshly. The people around him are also easy to get along with," Cang Yue replied, knowing what he was worried about. A smile appeared on her face as she recalled her time with Yun Wuji and the others.

"Really?" Dongfang Xiu asked in disbelief, somewhat doubtful. Yun Wuji was easygoing? This was a man who nearly killed someone just for looking at his woman!

In Dongfang Xiu's eyes, Yun Wuji had a wild and overbearing temperament, someone who could easily beat or kill anyone over the slightest grievance.

"Hmm, why would I lie to you? The young noble cherishes the people around him and dislikes those who betray him," Cang Yue paused to look at Dongfang Xiu. "Though your actions at that time can't be considered betrayal, they still incurred his ire."

"Yes, it's my fault; I was shortsighted," Dongfang Xiu lowered his head, admitting his mistake.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How is Royal Father?" Cang Yue didn't want to dwell on this and asked about her father.

"His Majesty's health is still deteriorating, but he's been doing well recently. He's worried about you; it would be great if you could return to the palace and see him," Dongfang Xiu replied.

"Hmm, I'll ask the young noble later, if I can," Cang Yue remained silent for a moment before replying; she also missed her father.

"..." Looking at Cang Yue, Dongfang Xiu felt that she had changed over this period of time, as for whether it was a good or bad thing, he didn't know.

After that, they strolled around the courtyard, exchanging words as they went. Cang Yue learned about the current state of affairs in the Capital, listening closely to updates. Dongfang Xiu also told her about her disappointing brothers's actions as well.

"Uncle Xiu, it's already late; I need to return," Cang Yue said, suddenly taking out a small bottle. "This is a pill that the young noble gave me." She handed the bottle to him.

"This?" Dongfang Xiu took the bottle. From its appearance, it seemed to contain some type of pills, but he didn't know which ones.

"This is a pill that can increase the chances of breaking through to the Profound Emperor Realm by 40%," Cang Yue explained. "Uncle, you are already a Half-Step Emperor Profound; if you use this pill, there's a high chance you can break through and become a Throne." "...Is...is this true?!" Dongfang Xiu suddenly felt the bottle in his hand become heavy. He held it with both hands, pulling it closer to his chest, and asked in an excited voice.

Throne! That was the dream for all profound practitioners in the entire empire. Only the four great sects held Thrones, and reaching this realm not only granted immense power and prestige but also significantly extended one's lifespan. A Throne naturally enjoyed a lifespan

of 500 years!

No one would dislike living a long life!

"Of course it is. The young noble is a genius with almost frightening talent. He has many mystical means, and this pill is nothing to him," Cang Yue proclaimed proudly, her

expression as if she were speaking about herself.

"...Sigh, they grow up quickly," Dongfang Xiu muttered, looking at Cang Yue's proud expression. He finally felt relieved, though a sense of loss lingered, like watching his daughter get married.

'But why is the genius only almost frightening and not completely frightening?' he wondered, watching her leave.

...

At the same time, Yun Wuji was taking a walk with Xia Qingyue. "Master, you know where my mother is?!" she asked, her eyes wide in surprise.

Yun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, I have a special ability that can help me know a few things,

but you must keep it a secret between us, okay?"

He had used this lie before to trick the Dragon God's spirit and Phoenix's spirit, so he figured

he might as well use it to explain his knowledge now.

Who knows, maybe in the future he would actually have this ability.

"Hmm, Master, Qingyue will never tell anyone else, even if I die!" Xia Qingyue's hand, which

was holding Yun Wuji's, tightened as she nodded firmly.

"Haha! I know that little Qingyue is the most obedient." He laughed at her serious reaction

and patted her head.

"Hmph! I am not little." She puffed her cheeks and held her chest with her hands, emphasizing that she wasn't small compared to those her age.

"I am talking about your age! When did your mind become dirty?!" Yun Wuji knocked her

head.

"Ouch!" Xia Qingyue held her head and pouted.

Looking at the cute Qingyue, Yun Wuji couldn't help but feel sad for her. When he read the novel, he thought she was the most pitiful person in existence.

She spent her whole life living for others, pouring all her effort into cultivation to find her

mother. When her mother died, she dedicated her life to helping Yun Che. She truly lived for others, and it only became worse when she went to the Abyss; her dedication to her foster

mother was downright creepy!

Saying something like, "There is no greater crime to me than disappointing you, Mother. I will suffer ten thousand times the punishment if I fail you!"

This clearly illustrated her fanaticism.

Every action she took was for others; perhaps the only action that was truly for herself was when she committed suicide by jumping into the Abyss of Nothingness, though she ultimately failed in the end.

The sad part was that everything she had strived for was either dead or destroyed. Her biological father was gone, and her mother had died as well. The Moon God Realm, which she had promised her parents to protect, was obliterated. To add to her sorrow, she had even

failed to take revenge on Qianye Ying'er.

Right now, she was treating Yun Wuji the same way; he was her master and treated her very well, and he was also her only link to the Realm of the Gods. Initially, she only respected him as a master, but as she spent more time with him, her emotions started to change from admiration to something deeper.

"Let's talk about your mother," Yun Wuji said, stopping the teasing.

"Ah! Yes!" When the topic turned to her mother, Xia Qingyue stopped playing around and

focused her attention on what he was going to say.

"After using my ability, I learned that your mother is in the Moon God Realm," Yun Wuji said slowly, his gaze fixed on the moon hanging in the sky.

"Moon God Realm?" Xia Qingyue followed his gaze, staring at the moon. She knew nothing about the Realm of Gods, so she didn't understand what this name signified. "The Realm of Gods is a higher plane, incredibly vast and divided into four regions. Each region contains thousands of Star Realms, which are further ranked as Low-Rank, Middle- Rank, High-Rank, and King-Rank Star Realms. The Moon God Realm is a King Realm, one of only four in the Eastern Divine Region," Yun Wuji explained. "People in the Realm of Gods are incredibly strong. To put things into perspective, the strongest recorded person in the history of this planet was at the Divine Origin Realm, known as the Profound God Realm here. They're considered nothing but mediocre weaklings in the Low-Rank Star Realm."

"The people in the Realm of Gods are so strong!" Xia Qingyue exclaimed, her small mouth

opening wide in shock. The strongest person she had ever seen was her master, who was only as powerful as the Sovereign Profound Realm.

Although Yun Wuji had already mentioned previously that people there were super strong,

now that he explained it more clearly, she couldn't imagine how grand that place was. It was

like suddenly telling someone on Earth that there was a Galactic human civilization that spanned millions of galaxies.

"Yep, they are very strong; there are people who are strong enough to destroy this wholeNôv(el)B\\jnn

planet with a simple sneeze," Yun Wuji nodded and said.

"Impossible! There are people with such terrifying strength?!" Xia Qingyue exclaimed with

an incredulous tone.

"Of course, there are many of them!" Yun Wuji said. "The Moon God Realm has dozens of

them as well."

"Does that mean that I can't see my mother?" Hearing what he said, Xia Qingyue felt the pressure on her shoulders increasing. She was already doing her best to raise her strength, but after hearing Yun Wuji, she felt that her effort was meaningless.

"Don't worry, there is a way to meet your mother," Seeing her sulking, Yun Wuji patted her

head and said.

"Really?" Xia Qingyue looked at him doubtfully.

Yun Wuji was offended by her doubt and knocked her head lightly, "Of course! Otherwise, why

did you think I shared this information with you? I already have a plan."

"Ouch!" Xia Qingyue held her head, with small tears in her eyes.

"Alright, listen to my plan," Yun Wuji rubbed her head and began to explain his plan to her.

He looked around, then he lowered his voice so that the readers couldn't hear him.

Storytime! I heard about this and just had to share it with you all.

This is a 100% true story!

A woman was cheating on her husband with a guy. And that had an NTR fetish, which isn't

surprising. However, the strange part was that the guy liked to have sex with her right next to her husband. So, the woman regularly put sleeping drugs in her husband's food, and once he was out cold, the guy would come over and sleep with her right beside him.

Up until now, this whole situation is strange but not completely outrageous.

The outrageous part is that, over time, the guy wasn't satisfied with just sleeping with the woman next to her husband. He started wanting to fuck the husband too.

Yep, you read that right! He wanted to fuck both the husband and the wife. Next, with the wife's help, the guy started having sex with both her and the husband. Every

time the husband woke up, he felt pain in his ass. At first, he thought it was hemorrhoids, but after seeing a doctor, he got a surprise.

The doctor asked if he was in a relationship with another man. The husband denied it, saying

he was straight as steel and didn't swing that way. However, the doctor told him, "This pain isn't from hemorrhoids, someone's been drilling your hole."

The husband was shocked by the doctor's words, so he decided to install a camera in the

bedroom. When he reviewed the footage, he was horrified to see himself being fucked in the

ass.

He sued both his wife and the man.

What I wrote above is pretty much what the judge said, and his expression was quite strange,

lol.

The moral of the story is: Don't be too upset if someone drilled your wife, at least they didn't

drill your ass too!

Now that I think about it, being a lawyer or judge can be fun; you get to see some really

strange and funny cases.
