"First, let’s continue from the previous statement."

Zhou Yan looked at Feng Jiu Xian with a meaningful gaze and calmly said,

"Since you possess an exceptional talent, yet someone disregarded the power, ability, and status of your father or mother as a Saint, and still wished to nip you in the bud by causing your downfall with the sorrow of the Tao before your birth,

then the more talented you are now, the more dangerous you are.

Especially since you are not on your Ancestor Star but on this Sword Burial Ancestor Star, your life and death... I’m afraid they have already been noted with great interest by many."

Zhou Yan’s calm analysis caused Feng Jiu Xian’s expression to darken.

Despite knowing that Zhou Yan’s analysis was terribly accurate and monstrously brilliant! Even though she knew all this to be true.

But she didn’t want to show it, didn’t want to be put on the defensive.

A stranger suddenly saying all this to her, what kind of conspiracy did it entail? If she were careless, perhaps she would be schemed against without even knowing.

Feng Jiu Xian felt that facing Zhou Yan, her intelligence was clearly insufficient.

"So what if it’s true? Whether I’m dead or alive, what does it have to do with you? I know there is indeed some ancient connection between the Thunderflame Sword Body and the tribespeople of the Undying Fire Phoenix,

But that’s very old news.

Members of the same clan will even kill each other, using every cunning scheme at their disposal, let alone our connection which has indeed become very distant!

Are you telling me that because of that slight connection, you’re going to kindly help me?!"

"Furthermore, even if you were kind enough to help me, how could I possibly trust you? You’re probably aware of the Heavenly Destiny plan. How many betrayals and sellouts are filled within this plan? Poor ’Emperor Qi Sword Body,’ the world’s number one genius, just like that, he fell.

Not having witnessed his grace is my greatest regret since coming to Sword Ancestor Star.

Learning of his deeds, he is indeed the true genius in my heart.

With the Sword Soul First Layer Heaven, he almost annihilated Qian Saint’s avatar projection, that unparalleled genius radiance, even if the universe dims, it cannot be overshadowed..."

Feng Jiu Xian said, her tone suddenly no longer so icy, and there seemed to be a touch of a woman’s sorrow, a sense of melancholy.

"Indeed, changing perspectives, if I were you, I wouldn’t believe you either. Analyzing these points for you is not to make you trust me, but because there’s indeed something for which I need your help.

As for repayment, apart from helping you analyze the situation, I will also help you heal the Tao wound in your body," Zhou Yan said calmly.

"Why me? If you can heal Tao wounds, such a heaven-defying ability would surely allow you to find an incredibly fearsome strong ally to assist you!"

Feng Jiu Xian said coldly.

"You’re different. Because you’re the Holy Daughter of the Undying Fire Phoenix Clan. Even though... your strength isn’t particularly formidable, your innate flames are precisely what I need.

Of course, I need your blood as well. I need your blood for Alchemy and to comprehend the Supreme Dao of flames and derive my own Thunderflame Sword Dao to Great Perfection," Zhou Yan stated his intentions frankly.

These were also some of the thoughts he had after seeing Feng Jiu Xian. Of course, these thoughts were just a small part of it.

There were deeper layers that Zhou Yan would never speak of, and Feng Jiu Xian would never understand.

Otherwise, Zhou Yan would never have had the thought of entangling himself with this troublesome woman.

After all, there wasn’t much time left; he needed to genuinely comprehend the Thunder Dao, to fully integrate all the abilities of the Thunderflame Sword Body, while also suppressing the disturbances of the Emperor Qi Sword Body.

This all required time.

But time was running short. Three days later, after competing against Xiao Tianlun, he would directly face the one-month Training before the Holy Daughter’s recruitment.

During the Training, rankings would be determined, and after emerging, a bitter struggle for life and death would ensue, officially starting the recruitment event.

At that time, it would be a violent clash of life and death, leaving no opportunity to prepare anything else.

...

Seeing Zhou Yan explicitly state his purpose, Feng Jiu Xian couldn’t help but become pensive.

Her contemplative and quiet demeanor was actually very elegant, capturing attention.

Her nose was the kind that was tender and turned up; breathing in and out, it would gently contract a little, looking incredibly adorable.

Her eyes were very bright, revealing a unique charm when she thought.

There were a few beads of perspiration on her forehead, clearly nervous and unsettled inside, which caused sweat to seep out.

"Can you truly heal my Tao wound? And are you capable of identifying the ’assassination attempt’ targeting me? Even if true, how could I possibly place my trust in you?"

Feng Jiu Xian asked, her eyebrows furrowed, posing several crucial questions.

"It’s simple; you don’t need to trust me. But I can start by healing your Tao wound for you, and for the assassination attempt targeting you, I can set a trap too, allowing several ’assassins’ to be directly killed by you.

You could even acquire all the resources of those ’assassins.’ However, during this time, you need to temporarily follow my arrangements.

Of course, I won’t ask you to do anything against your will," Zhou Yan added after a moment’s thought.

Zhou Yan didn’t care about any other thoughts Feng Jiu Xian might have; she was a proud woman.

Proud women often don’t make promises lightly, but once they do, they will see them through.

Furthermore, according to the grand reputation Feng Jiu Xian had made for herself in the Outer Star Domain, no distasteful rumors about her had spread.

But most importantly, Zhou Yan didn’t care whether this matter could be achieved because even if it wasn’t realized or Feng Jiu Xian deceived him, he would have no loss.
