Chapter 20: Zhao Qingzhi: Form a Search Team to Find Women with Wisdom Roots

“Mr. Ye, how should I assist you in comprehending the Wisdom Root?” A few minutes later, after Ye Yang entered the villa and chose a room, Zhao Ling’er asked him.

“Just stay by my side day and night,” Ye Yang replied calmly, looking at Zhao Ling’er.

“Day and night? Does that mean I need to live in the same room as you, Mr. Ye?” Zhao Ling’er’s beautiful eyes narrowed upon hearing his words.

“Not for now. Comprehending a woman’s Wisdom Root is not something that can be done overnight, nor can it be achieved with just you alone. When more women with Wisdom Roots like you gather in the future, we can discuss this further.”

Ye Yang shook his head, rejecting Zhao Ling’er’s suggestion.

His rejection wasn’t because he was a saint oblivious to the opportunities that arise when a man and woman share a room alone. If something were to happen, he could immediately begin cultivating the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record.

However, Ye Yang had to refuse Zhao Ling’er for a simple reason: her question was merely a probe, not a genuine offer to share a room with him. After the Great Xia transformed into a feudal imperial system, the separation of genders was still heavily emphasized, especially for someone like Zhao Ling’er, who came from a prominent family. She valued such distinctions even more. Her inquiry was just a formality, not an actual offer to throw herself at him.

Of course, with Ye Yang’s current status, if he insisted that Zhao Ling’er live with him or even sleep in the same bed, she wouldn’t dare refuse. But doing so would damage his prestigious image. The majestic master of Kunlun, who had lived for countless ages, would he be so impatient? Since Zhao Ling’er was already by his side, constantly at his beck and call, was there any worry she’d escape?

Most importantly, sometimes rejection isn’t a bad thing. Zhao Ling’er, born into a prominent family, possessing a top-tier special constitution, and having skyrocketed to fame in the entertainment industry with countless fans, was a true daughter of heaven who had likely never been rejected.

Ye Yang’s refusal would undoubtedly leave a deep impression on her. Especially since he mentioned that when more women with Wisdom Roots gathered, they could discuss staying together to comprehend the Wisdom Root, this would surely instill a sense of crisis in Zhao Ling’er.

She would realize that although she was currently by Ye Yang’s side, she wasn’t the only special one, and more like her would come. If she didn’t take action, her influence by Ye Yang’s side might diminish.

Just as Ye Yang had anticipated, when Zhao Ling’er heard his refusal and his mention of more women with Wisdom Roots joining in the future, a sense of loss crept into her heart. For a moment, she even forgot her fear that Ye Yang might have agreed to her sharing a room with him.

“Was I too hasty? I’ve only known Mr. Ye for less than an hour, and in such a short time, I asked if I should live with him. Will Mr. Ye think I’m too forward with ulterior motives? Will Mr. Ye dislike me in the future? When other women with special constitutions arrive, will my status plummet?” Zhao Ling’er thought nervously to herself.

“Alright, choose a room next to mine and settle in. It’s getting late; go rest. Tomorrow, I’ll begin studying the mysteries of your Wisdom Root.” Ye Yang looked at Zhao Ling’er with a smile.

Using his soul-capturing technique, Ye Yang had sensed her inner thoughts. A faint smile appeared on his face. This was the advantage of having a powerful status. Only someone with such a status could reject others and make them wonder if they did something wrong. If his status were lesser, rejecting someone wouldn’t prompt any reflection.

“Yes, I won’t disturb your rest, Mr. Ye,” Zhao Ling’er said softly, nodding at Ye Yang’s words.

“No, right now I’m the only one with a Wisdom Root by Mr. Ye’s side. That’s my advantage. I must solidify my position in Mr. Ye’s heart before other women with Wisdom Roots arrive. I absolutely cannot become just an ordinary Kunlun member later.”

After leaving, Zhao Ling’er clenched her fist lightly, thinking with great determination.

…

Meanwhile, at the Zhao family’s ancient mansion.

After exercising for a long time, Zhao Qingzhi stopped in his original hospital room. At this point, he had mastered his newfound strength. His Calculative Spirit Body played a significant role in how quickly he adapted to his enhanced power. Though it lacked divine abilities without the presence of spiritual energy, the Calculative Spirit Body made mastering his physical strength a trivial task.

After gaining control over his strength, Zhao Qingzhi called over Zhao Wuji, who had been tasked with contacting the Medicine family.

“How’s the matter with the Medicine family?” Zhao Qingzhi asked the moment Zhao Wuji arrived.

“The Medicine family has agreed. Their family head, Yao Lai, should arrive in Tianhai City tomorrow to meet with you, Father,” Zhao Wuji replied.

“Very good,” Zhao Qingzhi nodded with satisfaction. “By the way, from now on, the Zhao family will spare no effort to form a spiritual herb team. This team will be responsible for traveling the world to collect any materials that might be spiritual herbs.

“Our Zhao family joined Kunlun ahead of others. How can we not plan early for the long-term task of submitting spiritual herbs to earn Kunlun points?” Zhao Qingzhi suddenly thought of something and ordered Zhao Wuji.

“Yes, Father,” Zhao Wuji responded. “Father, Mr. Ye said that recommending people with Wisdom Roots to join Kunlun also earns point rewards. Should we form a team specifically to search for individuals who are different from ordinary people? Then bring them to you to see if they have Wisdom Roots?” Zhao Wuji asked.

“Yes, but the main focus should be on finding women with Wisdom Roots,” Zhao Qingzhi said.

“Only women with Wisdom Roots?” Zhao Wuji looked puzzled.

“For those recommended to join Kunlun, besides having a Wisdom Root, they must also meet Kunlun’s qualifications. Currently, I’m the only male member who meets those qualifications. Therefore, the people I recommend must be similar to me. Someone who merely has a Wisdom Root may not meet the qualifications. If I recommend such people to Mr. Ye, he might think I’m recommending useless individuals just for points, which could displease him.

“But women are different. After Ling’er was invited by Mr. Ye to join Kunlun, he needs to rely on women with Wisdom Roots like her to develop items suitable for their use. Thus, Mr. Ye welcomes as many women with Wisdom Roots as possible until he successfully comprehends them. No matter how many are recommended, it’s acceptable.” Zhao Qingzhi explained.

“I see, I understand,” Zhao Wuji nodded upon hearing Zhao Qingzhi’s explanation.
