Seeing that her attack had been blocked by Jing Ming so easily, Xu Wan’er knew that she had encountered an expert.

Although she couldn’t see through Jing Ming’s cultivation base, it was obviously much higher than her own.

As a result, Xu Wan’er was unable to sense Jing Ming’s exact cultivation level at all.

As for what Jing Ming said about being her ancestor, Xu Wan’er didn’t believe even a single bit.

He was not the first person who wanted to take advantage of her. Previously, the shameless Lu Yuan had probed her to call him father.

However, Xu Wan’er naturally rejected the unreasonable request.

At that time, she could tell that when Lu Yuan said that to her, he was only doing it to satisfy some kind of evil interest. He did not really want her to call him that.

There was no need to say much about the relationship between her and Lu Yuan. It was full of harmless teasing.

However, the stranger in front of her was different.

Although the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions toward her, Xu Wan’er, who had been properly taught by Lu Yuan, had changed from being silly and sweet inside out to sweet on the outside but shrewd on the inside.

Xu Wan’er looked at Jing Ming, who was approaching her step by step, but she did not show her hostility immediately.

Xu Wan’er calmly thought about her current situation, “Young Master once said that when I encounter an enemy stronger than I, the best course of action is to run away without looking back. Instances of the weak defeating the strong are definitely not as many as the strong defeating the weak. I only have one life, and there’s no need to gamble my life on something with a small probability of success. The second best plan is to show weakness to the enemy first, then think of a way to deal with them, and finally find an opportunity to escape. That’s if I can’t escape immediately. Lastly, the worst option is to fight directly.”

The best plan was undoubtedly out of the question.

Xu Wan’er was now being held in place by the other party using some special method.

She couldn’t even move her fingers now, let alone escape.

Therefore, Xu Wan’er decisively chose the second best plan.

Xu Wan’er questioned, “You said you’re my ancestor, but what proof do you have?”

She thought, “I’ll go along with what the other party said for the time being and see if there’s a chance to slip away.”

They were at the Immortal Ascension Assembly held in the Upper Realm.

For the man before her to be around, he was either a cultivator like her or an assessor. But no matter what, Xu Wan’er felt that as long as she escaped, the other party would not continue to attack her.

After all, Xu Wan’er had heard about it from others.

This Immortal Ascension Assembly was held by the Three Upper Realm Sects which kept each other in check to ensure the fairness of the Immortal Ascension Assembly to the greatest extent.

Therefore, if Xu Wan’er wanted to get out of her predicament, the best way was to return to the nine-story pagoda.

Jing Ming looked at Xu Wan’er, who had fallen silent after saying that.

He nodded in his heart.

Even if Jing Ming was a fool who only knew sword cultivation, as an Apotheosis Stage cultivator with a long lifespan, Jing Ming could proudly say that he had eaten more pills than Xu Wan’er had eaten meals.

His Psychic Sword Heart could keenly sense the hostility that Xu Wan’er was hiding.

However, the hostility did not anger Jing Ming. Instead, it made him even more interested in Xu Wan’er.

Among cultivators, especially female cultivators, they were undoubtedly the easiest to be deceived by people with ulterior motives.

After all, female cultivators generally faced fewer difficulties compared to male cultivators, especially female cultivators like Xu Wan’er who had outstanding looks.

Even if their talent was average, it was not a problem for them to get to know or befriend some powerful male cultivators by relying on their outstanding looks.

Therefore, except for a few rough cultivators, most male cultivators were very kind to female cultivators.

As a result, many female cultivators experienced others’ goodwill.

Some mistakenly thought that the outside world was the same after leaving the sect, so they lacked vigilance and ended up in a miserable state.

However, Jing Ming did not notice such a flaw in Xu Wan’er.

Not only did the girl remain suspicious, but she was also able to think on her feet when problems arose.

It was as if she had amassed life experience in the mortal world for a long time.

If Jing Ming hadn’t been able to sense the pure Yin power in Xu Wan’er’s body, Jing Ming would have suspected that she, his clanswoman, had suffered some inhuman torture.

However, no matter how Jing Ming looked at it, his junior could be considered outstanding in both temperament and talent.

Jing Ming was especially pleased with Xu Wan’er’s temperament.

He wondered who the girl’s Master was to actually know how to teach their disciples some useful ways of life.

If only Jing Ming had been half as cautious as Xu Wan’er back then and not casually believed the words of outsiders, perhaps there wouldn’t have been any misunderstandings between him and Xu Wan’er’s great-grandmother.

As he thought about it, Jing Ming felt a little emotional.

A thousand-year-old monster would easily recollect and miss the past.

Noticing that Jing Ming did not answer her question directly, Xu Wan’er thought that he couldn’t produce any evidence and was guilty.

That also made Xu Wan’er even more certain that the other party had come with ill intentions.

Xu Wan’er had even made up her mind that if the guy before her were to try anything with her, she would take her own life before he could..
