Fang Mingkun didn't quite believe that Anxin was Xia Tian's friend. Last month, when he investigated the case of Anxin attempting suicide, he had looked into her family background as well. Her parents were merely ordinary salaried workers—her salary wasn’t low, but it wasn't extremely high either. Regarding the reason behind Anxin’s attempt to jump off a building, although she couldn’t recall everything due to amnesia and thus it was hard to determine the exact cause, Fang Mingkun also knew of the rumors surrounding it. Although some parts of these rumors were unreliable, there was often a grain of truth amidst hearsay; he believed that there must be something factual behind them.

If Anxin truly had Xia Tian as her friend, who would dare to harm her How could she possibly have attempted suicide

Before Anxin could respond, the door to the suite suddenly opened from inside and a gorgeous woman in emerald-green palace attire walked out, looking visibly annoyed: "I'm angry! I want to leave the palace!"

The indignant fairy was none other than Ji Qingying. She had become furious because Xia Tian wasn’t obeying her wishes; after she ate, she asked Xia Tian to buy her alcohol, but he hadn't agreed since they were about to continue with the miraculous fifth needle procedure. Consequently, Ji Qingying became upset and started acting like she was going on a temper tantrum.

"Alright, I'll get you some alcohol," Xia Tian said somewhat gloomily as he followed her out. Glancing at Fang Mingkun who was standing不遠處的地方，他便隨意吩咐了一句，“嘿，你們幫我弄箱茅台過來。”

“好的，夏先生，對了，這位安……”方明坤應了一聲，正準備說起安心的事情，安心這時卻終於驚撥出聲，“姬師妹？你真的是姬師妹？”

Anxin's shock was genuine. Nie Zixiong only told her that Xia Tian was in this hotel and didn't even mention which room he was staying in; Anxin had to ask for the information at the front desk downstairs. Now, seeing Ji Qingying suddenly appear before her, she truly felt astonished.

"Huh Do you know me" Ji Qingying looked at Anxin with a puzzled expression, saying, "I don't seem to know you!"

"A disciple of the Ethereal Immortal Sect" Xia Tian stared at Anxin and asked. This was the first time he had seen a disciple of the Ethereal Immortal Sect dressed like a modern person.

"Are you Xia Tian" Anxin retorted with a question.

"That's right, I am Xia Tian." Xia Tian stared at Anxin. "You seem to be looking for me"

"Who are you exactly" Ji Qingying spoke up again after some thought, saying, "I've been thinking hard but can't recall who you are!"

"Junior Sister Ji, I am Su Wushuang." Anxin lowered her voice and then slightly furrowed her brows. "Why do you seem a bit different from before"

Anxin wasn’t particularly close with Ji Qingying, but even if they weren't familiar, she could tell that something was off about Ji Qingying, as the personality of this Ji Qingying differed greatly from the previous one.

"Su Wushuang" Ji Qingying tilted her head and thought for a moment before exclaiming in joy. "Ah, I remember now!"

But Ji Qingying then shook her head and said, "That's not how Senior Sister Su is. Hmm, I think Senior Sister Su was a bit prettier than you."

"Sis Ji, shall we go inside to talk" An Xin glanced at the few policemen nearby and whispered.

"But my wine hasn’t arrived yet," said Ji Qingying with her lips pouted.

The moment she finished speaking, Fang Mingkun emerged from the elevator carrying a case of Maotai. "Mr. Xia, this is the wine you requested."

“Hehe, my wine has arrived!” Ji Qingying immediately ran over to snatch the box of wine and then turned around and went into the room. Xia Tian and An Xin followed her in.

The door was shut behind them. Ji Qingying had already taken out a bottle of wine and started drinking it like water, while An Xin looked at Ji Qingying with strange eyes for quite some time without saying anything.

"Hey, why did you come to see me" Xia Tian asked An Xin then. He originally came to the Western Capital to resolve the issues regarding the three disciples of the ethereal immortal sects here. Now that one had walked right into his hands, he was quite satisfied. However, before he found out where the other two were, this could wait until later.

"Nie Zixiong forced me to investigate your situation, but I hope we can cooperate," An Xin said coolly.

"Nie Zixiong It's that fool again!" Xia Tian was a bit surprised.

"Nie Zixiong isn't a good person; I must exterminate his nine generations." Ji Qingying muttered and continued drinking.

Xia Tian looked at Anxin: "How do you want to cooperate with me"

Anxin said calmly, "Nie Zixiong obviously wants to deal with you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to investigate your situation, which means that he's your enemy. Since he threatened to kill me today and I can’t guarantee that he won't kill me in the future, I consider him my enemy as well. Given that we both have Nie Zixiong as our common enemy, why don't we cooperate to deal with him"

Anxin wasn’t acting on impulse; she had already planned to collaborate with Xia Tian before coming here because she could tell that Nie Zixiong must be wary of Xia Tian. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he just use his Divine Sense to suppress her and threaten her into working for him Why not do the same to Xia Tian

From this, Anxin concluded that Nie Zixiong couldn't possibly deal with Xia Tian in such a manner. That's precisely why she thought of collaborating with Xia Tian; she didn’t want to rely on Nie Zixiong’s benevolence for her fate, especially since she realized that Nie Zixiong wasn’t a benevolent person at all.

After seeing Ji Qingying, she felt even more confident about her decision. She was no fool; she could immediately see how close the relationship between Ji Qingying and Xia Tian was. Even though something seemed off with Ji Qingying, this extraordinarily talented Immortal Gate disciple had chosen Xia Tian. How could Xia Tian possibly be an ordinary person

Anxin trusted Ji Qingying’s judgment, so she felt even more convinced that her decision was correct. She believed that collaborating with Xia Tian was the best choice for her.

"Senior Sister Su, why have you turned out this way" Ji Qingying had already finished a bottle of alcohol and was starting on her second.

"We can cooperate if you like. But first, tell me where the other two Mysterious Immortal Sect disciples who came with you are now," Xia Tian also asked.

Anxin sighed softly: "They have already died." "Junior Sister Ji, Brother Xia, I know you both have many questions. Let me explain everything in detail to you."

"Alright then, go ahead and tell us," although Xia Tian hadn’t made up his mind about cooperating with Anxin yet, he did want to find out if the other two cultivators were really dead. After all, that was what he came to West Capital for.

Anxin nodded slightly and then began recounting everything that had happened since she arrived here, even mentioning how she killed Yuan Anfu and the others this afternoon without hiding it. She knew almost nothing about Xia Tian but hoped her honesty would make him believe in her sincerity in wanting to cooperate with him. After all, he also probably didn’t know anything about her.

By the time Anxin had finished recounting everything, Ji Qingying had just downed a whole case of Maotai. It was truly unbelievable how much she could drink.

"So you took over someone else’s body!" Ji Qingying said in a soft voice: "Husband, cooperate with her and have her kill Nie Zixiong for us!"

However, Xia Tian still hadn’t made up his mind. In his opinion, getting rid of all twelve disciples of the Mysterious Immortal Sect was undoubtedly the safest course of action. But since he had already started down this path with Ji Qingying’s cooperation, perhaps continuing to cooperate with Anxin wasn’t such a bad idea after all. The problem was whether or not Anxin could be trusted

In fact, Summer didn't like cooperating with others very much. The woman he trusted the most was usually his wife. If An Xin had sought him out a few days ago, he might have directly killed her. But with Nie Zixiong's appearance, he started to realize that his current enemies might be far stronger than he imagined.

With one Nie Zixiong and possibly an additional Sky Asker on the way, he might not be able to handle them at all. His mid-core formation cultivation level offered almost no combat power against Nie Zixiong; it was only Jiqingying's Soul Splitting realm that had scared Nie Zixiong away. This meant that dealing with Nie Zixiong required a Soul Splitting realm expert, and this was the main reason he somewhat wanted to cooperate with An Xin.

Although An Xin was beautiful, Summer wasn't in the mood to look for a wife right now; he had too many wives who needed protection. So what attracted him about An Xin wasn't her beauty but rather her cultivation level, her core formation realm.

For Summer, reaching the core formation realm meant he could soon advance to Soul Splitting, and the Soul Splitting realm meant he could kill Nie Zixiong. However, the biggest issue was whether she would still listen to him after he had advanced her to the Soul Splitting realm.

"Honey, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep now." While Summer was considering this, Jiqingying yawned and climbed onto the bed; once she said she'd go to sleep, she immediately fell into a deep slumber.

Summer didn't find this strange. After all, she had drunk six bottles of Maotai; even if she wasn't drunk, she would definitely want to sleep more.

"Do you know where Nie Zixiong is" Summer suddenly asked.

"No idea." An Xin shook her head. "It's strange, Nie Zixiong didn't ask me where I live either; it seems he did something on my body that allows him to find me at any time."s a bit surprised. "Honey, does hypnosis really exist"“Of course it exists. Actually, I know how to do it too,” Xia Tian casually said, “But I don’t bother with that trouble. It’s easier for me to jus...
