Chapter 1302 Not Compatible

"Aren't you worried about revealing your identity?" Wang Wei asked. With such a detailed plan and classification of information, it's apparent that this was not the first time she had made such a deal. However, Wang Wei was sure she never revealed her identity when selling news to people like him.

"It's not as big of a deal as you think," Xun Junyao replied softly. A few individuals know her identity, including Empyrean Kong and Empyrean Jimin. Trust is crucial in her line of work, so when dealing with certain clients, she had to reveal her identity to establish trust. It's also a way to give these people her "weakness" and make them more willing to work with her.

Of course, none of these people dared to offend even if they knew her weakness. Who dares to offend someone who can know what kind of underwear someone wore a few hundred thousand years ago? There is also the soft power that Xun Junyao has. She can summon an army of cultivators to work for her with a few words and some fake tears. No one wants to offend someone with that kind of power.

"More importantly, more people should have figured it out by now."

Xun Junyao has only dealt with [elite] or people with excellent networks. So, she knew what she did to the Blood Dragon would have helped these people figure out her identity by now.

"I'm guessing some people were not surprised by what you did," Wang Wei sighed.

"That's not completely accurate," she corrected him. "They were not surprised that I could do it, but definitely shocked that I dare do it."

"That makes sense," Wang Wei nodded. "While we're on the subject, did you get any reward from Heavenly Dao for killing that horny dragon?"

"Hehe, Young Master Wang," Xun Junyao chucked as she put her hands before her mouth to hide her teeth. "Such information is worth at least five stars. Do you still wish to know?"

Wang Wei's lips twitched. How come their calm, peaceful, and natural conversation was suddenly corrupted by the unpleasant existence of money? He shook his head. Since he was not willing to pay, he chose to peek.

'Yes, it's indeed a good choice.' Xun Junyao decided to cut off the last thoughts she had about him. Although this was their first meeting and she never had any high romantic aspirations, she did consider him after learning about Wang Wei. After all, he was handsome, talented, and had a great background. What woman would not be tempted? However, during today's events, she felt their personality did not match, and their relationship might be ill-fated.

'Hmm?' Wang Wei muttered, looking at Xun Junyao. The benefits for the [Paragon Slayer Title] include an increase in luck, an increase in the amount of time allowed to comprehend [Existence] after entering the Paragon Realm, and what Wang Wei valued the most, a [Aura] ability that boosted strength when dealing with an opponent of higher cultivation realm.

After knowing this, he deduced some basic information on the best way to acquire this title, but he realized it was useless. Apparently, Heaven and Earth judged him by different standards. It's a remarkable feat for anyone to slay a Paragon, but for someone like him, it's expected. So, if he wanted the title, he would need to kill 3 Paragons while in the Empyrean Realm.

As Wang Wei was lamenting that it was unfair, he noticed a strange change from Xun Junyao, so he looked at her. 'Our karmic connection has weakened. What happened?' Sadly, he could not deduce anything from the myriad of emotions in her eyes because he knew little about it.

Wang Wei only met Xun Junyao recently, and in the past 3 million years working together, they did not utter a single word. Through how she operates her True Will and other actions, he had a basic understanding of her, but as they conversed, he had to constantly update the character model he made for her.

'I feel an opportunity coming,' Wang Wei thought. 'So, let's take a look.' He used his Heart Reading Technique, a mind-reading technique he created by combining Buddhist Mantra and Yan Liling's ability. He took a quick peek into Xun Junyao's mind and found her thoughts from the past 10 seconds. He was so fast and sneaky that she did not notice anything.

'So, she gave up on me because we're not compatible? That works in my favor, but why do I feel something is weird?' Xun Junyao's change was sudden, too fast, and, more importantly, due to a random action he did. She was right about Wang Wei's mind being too complicated, but she also exaggerated the situation. Wang Wei's previous rude behavior was not done with malice or any calculations. As he said, he became too comfortable with her too easily, and with his curious nature, he violated her privacy and calculated her information.

'Something really feels off by how she so naturally realized we are not compatible,' Wang Wei thought.

"Is something the matter?" Xun Junyao asked. At this point, Wang Wei was staring, making her slightly uncomfortable.

"Excuse me for a moment," Wang Wei said before closing his eyes, focusing his mind to analyze everything. His intuition told him something else was at play.

'Did my future self act and remove the obstacle that was Xun Junyao? Or maybe Hong'er is the one who acted?' Wang Wei suddenly thought. 'No, that's not it. Whenever they act, there are always some signs of slight anomaly. But this time, it was so subtle and fluid that it reminded me of how [Fate] operates.'
