ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 57: Harmless smile



"'Speaking of which, this involves you, sister-in-law," Yun Wuji said, turning to Chu Yueli. "Me?" Chu Yueli asked, pointing at herself.

"Well, it started with..." Yun Wuji nodded and began to explain what happened.

"The sect was under attack?!" She jumped from her seat, losing her composure upon hearing him.

"Don't worry, no one was hurt," Yun Wuji said, walking over and patting her back.

'That's right, with Brother-in-law here, what could go wrong?' Thinking of this, she calmed down and sat back in her seat. "Brother-in-law, please continue," Chu Yueli said.

Yun Wuji continued to recount what happened to her.

After hearing his explanation, she finally sighed in relief.

"You joined the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace?!" Chu Yueli exclaimed in shock. It was too unbelievable! there had never been a case of a man joining their sect before!

She received so many shocks in such a short time.

After calming down, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you join the sect for Big Sister's sake?"

Her eyes were fixed on his face as if trying to discern something.

"Not entirely," Yun Wuji answered with a smile, gazing deeply into her eyes.

He wasn't lying; he didn't join the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace just for Chu Yuechan, but also for the two thousand beauties waiting for him.

Those two words sparked endless imagination. An unspeakable joy bloomed in Chu Yueli's heart, and she almost couldn't hide her happiness.

Once she managed to calm her emotions, she looked up at Yun Wuji and said, her gaze steady, "Then we'll be together in the same sect in the future."

"Hmm, should I call you senior sister or sister-in-law?" Yun Wuji laughed and said.

"Just call me sister-in-law. There are so many 'senior sisters' in the sect, but you only have one sister-in-law," Chu Yueli said mischievously, tracing her lips with a smile. She didn't notice it, but ever since she came into contact with Yun Wuji, she had begun to smile more often.

'Here we go again,' Xia Qingyue sighed, watching them flirt with each other from the side. "You were playing chess?" Yun Wuji asked, looking at the chessboard.

"We were just passing the time," Xia Qingyue replied.

"Well, I thought of a new game. Want to try it?" Yun Wuji said after a moment of thought.

Everyone spends most of their time cultivating, so it's nice to play from time to time.

"What is it?" Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli asked with curious expressions.

"Football!" Yun Wuji said.

"Football?" Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli repeated, puzzled.

"Football is a game where two teams compete to score goals by kicking a ball into the opponent's net..." Yun Wuji explained. He added more details and rules, adapting the game since this was a world of cultivation, otherwise, normal football might be boring for them.

"This sounds interesting," Xia Qingyue said.

"Yeah, I've never heard of it. It's worth a try," Chu Yueli agreed.

"Well then, we can't play with just the three of us. I'll call the others," Yun Wuji said.

After explaining more details about the game, Yun Wuji called Xiao Che, Xiao Lingxi, and Cang Yue to join them. Everyone then played Galactic Football.

...

In the afternoon, at the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Yun Wuji appeared with his arm around Chu Yueli's waist.

"So this is teleportation? It's very convenient," Chu Yueli said, leaning against him and still marveling at the sensation of crossing space.

She forgot to move and Yun Wuji didn't want to let go of her soft waist, so they stood there.

After a few seconds, Chu Yueli finally noticed a hand caressing her waist. She quickly reacted, stepping away from him and glaring shyly. She coughed to hide her embarrassment, "Cough! Thank you for bringing me. I'll go see my sister."

"You two haven't seen each other for a while, so I won't bother you," Yun Wuji nodded to her without feeling any embarrassment. "I'll take a look around."

Chu Yueli went to see Chu Yuechan while Yun Wuji walked around the sect grounds to

familiarize himself with the place.

"Look, it's the senior who saved us!"

"Hmm, he's so handsome!"

"It's the first time I've seen a man!"

As Yun Wuji walked around, some of the disciples noticed him and whispered among themselves. A few greeted him, and he nodded with a smile in return.

Most of the disciples had never left the Snow Region of Extreme Ice, and some were brought here as babies. Naturally, it was extremely rare for them to see males, let alone interact with one. Yun Wuji's appearance caused a commotion among them, sparking their curiosity. After walking for a while, a beautiful woman approached him gracefully. "Lord Yun Wuji!" "Miss Murong?" Yun Wuji was surprised to see her. His expression turned a bit strange as he recalled what happened yesterday. Honestly, it was a bit exciting, hehe.

"Hmm, Wuji, you're new here. Would you like me to guide you around the sect?" Murong Qianxue smiled beautifully as she offered.

"Then, I'll take you up on that," Yun Wuji nodded, always welcoming the company of a beautiful woman.

"This training ground is mostly used by the lower-ranked disciples," Murong Qianxue explained as she guided Yun Wuji around the sect. When they passed a notable spot, she would introduce it. "This is the cold spring bath, where disciples bathe. You should be careful in the future not to accidentally interrupt any females while they're in the middle of bathing." "Yeah, that would be troublesome. I'll try to stay away from this place," Yun Wuji nodded, adding to himself that he had no reason to linger here anyway. Disciples mainly used the cold spring bath to aid their cultivation, but at his level, it was far too low. Besides, he wasn't desperate enough to peek at women bathing, things like that only happened in ecchi animes. "Yeah, being the only male in the sect came with its inconveniences, it would be troublesome if you stumbled upon someone bathing," Murong Qianxue nodded and then giggled. "But that might not be the case if the person bathing happened to be Sister Yuechan."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'Or Yunxian,' Yun Wuji thought and then added '...Or Yueli'. He then looked at her with a surprised expression and said, "Miss Murong, you seem more open than the other disciples." Most of the disciples he had seen were very reserved and cold, including Chu Yuechan. When he first met her, she was very cold to him even though he saved her life.

"Hehe, that's not always the case," Murong Qianxue laughed lightly, not mentioning that her openness was only because it was him.

After chatting for a while, Yun Wuji said, "I wanted to thank you for taking care of me earlier."

"You don't need to thank me; my help was pretty insignificant," she shook her head, her cheeks flushing red as she recalled what she did while he was unconscious. She thought it should be her who needed to repay him.

"It may be nothing for you, but it's a big deal for me," Yun Wuji said, waving his hand. "How about I help you open your profound entrances?" His expression was earnest; he was

genuinely trying to repay her.

"What? Really?" Murong Qianxue stopped in her tracks and looked at him with a surprised

and hopeful expression.

She had heard from the palace mistress that Chu Yuechan had obtained the Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins with Yun Wuji's help.

When she learned about it, she became envious. Anyone with the Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins would never hit a bottleneck in their profound strength, and their cultivation speed would far surpass that of others.

*Profound cultivation = Mortal realms, Divine cultivation = the realms above Sovereign

Profound Realm.*

"Of course, we can start now if you want," he nodded with a harmless smile. His eyes were so

pure.

"You just recovered; this won't cause you any inconvenience, will it?" Murong Qianxue hesitated for a moment. According to common sense, opening all profound veins should be

quite exhausting, right?

"Don't worry, it won't," Yun Wuji shook his head and patted his chest to assure her.

"Then... let's go to my room. It's inconvenient to do it here," Murong Qianxue said, finally

letting go of her hesitation and leading him to her room.

Following her back, Yun Wuji showed Tom's evil smile... *No lemons this time.*
