The more Wang Wei thought about this idea, the more in love he fell with it. Just like he did with Dong Lifen, he can do the same with Xun Junyao. This was simply perfect.

'Her situation is not ideal,' Wang Wei thought. 'In the upcoming era, everybody will be competing for the Path of Transcendence, and as someone without a potent faction to protect her, she'll become a delicious piece of cake to fight over.

'Additionally, there is also the issue of her network. Many sects will be thankful for her help, but many will also wish to eliminate her to ensure she did not learn any crucial secrets related to them. If you add her unparalleled beauty, her life will truly be full of ups and downs, meaning I can use that to lure her into the sect.'

Xun Junyao's life will not be easy when this era ends without a powerful backer. She still has enough time to build a faction, but even if she does, it won't change much. After all, the new era will be full of Paragons and Primal. Even Wang Wei is not confident he'll reach the later stages of the Paragon Realm, let alone Xun Junyao.

If any of these top lineages are determined to eliminate Xun Junyao, she'll have to struggle for survival — unless she hides in the Lawless Zone. But even such a method is not hundred percent guaranteed. After all, the Paragons of the upcoming era cannot compare to the waste that is these parasites. Even if their power is sealed to the Empyrean Realm, a peak Paragon is still a peak Paragon.

'No matter how I look at it, she has no choice but to find a backer, and the Dao Opening Sect is perfect for her,' Wang Wei thought excitedly before he remembered something.

'No, the sect is not her best choice — the Origin Seal Continent is,' he realized. 'She already has a pseudo-master-disciple relationship with the future wife, so her best choice would be to join her.' Wang Wei had no doubt his future will be able to protect her.

Wu Hong built the Origin Seal Continent into one of the 13 Overlords, showing her personal and political power. Additionally, she'll be even more potent in the new era once she healed her injury and reforged her foundation. And once she becomes Half-Step Transcendent, the Origin Seal Continent will keep its status as the top lineage of the Eternal Ascension World.

'My future wife might have already been preparing to introduce Xun Junyao into her lineage,' Wang Wei analyzed, sighing deeply to himself. He realized his chances of succeeding were not as high as he anticipated.

'Should I still give it a try?' Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Wei's mind in less than a nanoseconds as he analyzed the pros and cons of trying to get Xun Junyao into the sect.

'No, it's not worth it,' he concluded. He noticed many factors he overlooked due to his excitement. The most important of which is the complex political nature of the Dao Opening Sect. This was not the lower dimension where Wang Wei's prestige and power were even higher than all the Ancestors combined.

In there, Wang Wei can introduce someone like Dong Lifen, that was not raised by the sect and had no clear royalty, and everyone agreed, but he couldn't do the same in the upper dimension. Although Wang Wei hasn't returned to the sect, he has learned and deduced himself to the complex situation. For example, the Dao Opening Sect was not run only by the three clans of Wang, Yan, and Li — there were nine other families below them. These families originated from former sectarian sect masters who became Paragon and, with their long lifespans, established flourishing families.

In fact, Wang Wei deduced that there are even more families in the sect, and the concept of the Sectarian Faction has almost been replaced. However, these other families do not have enough power to be considered the ruling class of the sect.

With such a complex situation, there will be many resistances to Wang Wei introducing Xun Junyao to the sect — especially without a status like his wife. As his wife, people would welcome Xun Junyao with open arms and embrace her into the sect. But as a disciple or member — most people will reject. The Wang Clan is still the most powerful, with two Primals, so Wang Wei could override these rejections, but that does not make any sense.

Xun Junyao must feel some sense of belonging to the sect to eventually contribute after becoming a Half Step Transcendent. After all, even in the lower dimension, Dong Lifen's husband would be born as a member of the Wang Clan. Ultimately, since Wang Wei cannot introduce Xun Junyao to the sect with a guaranteed status like a wife, there is no point in recruiting her. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'There is also the issue with Wu Hong,' he thought. Although he had pure motives for recruiting Xun Junyao, what if she misunderstood him? If he did it behind her, it would appear like he was sneaking around. He told her the truth, but it could appear to be manipulative.

'She's not the kind to be suspicious and question my motive and loyalty, but I have to look at the bigger picture,' Wang Wei analyzed. He had guessed some of the shenanigans his future self was doing, and he was sure one of the primary reasons many things would go smoothly for him was because he had Wu Hong also partaking in these acts. Things would be a thousand times harder without her help.

And since he knew this, his enemy also did. It's already too late to break off his relationship with Wu Hong, so these people must keep an eye on the past.

'My relationship with her is complex and not set in stone, meaning it's the perfect time for these people to separate us,' Wang Wei thought. 'That also means the existence of Xun Junyao is another significant component in this situation. As another woman linked to me by fate, she can also play a role in determining the future.'

Wang Wei suddenly realized he needed to be more careful with how he dealt with Xun Junyao. 'Calm down,' he told himself. He suddenly wanted to do whatever possible to remove the karmic link between them. However, he also understood acting rashly was the opposite of what must be done in this kind of situation.

'The best move I can make next is to tell Wu Hong everything that had happened here, including my speculation and fears about the future. Even better, I should use open and truthful communication at all times from now on when dealing with our relationship.'

Was Wang Wei overreacting? Possibly. However, this involved his future love life and maybe his path toward transcendence. The last thing he wanted was to mess this up.

"There is no problem with cooperating," Xun Junyao said, and Wang Wei focused on her. He was previously multitasking, planning, and analyzing all these things at unparalleled speed while still talking to her. During the entire process, his facial expressions, emotions, tone fluctuations, and everything else never changed.

"That's good to hear."

"But you should understand that I cannot provide you certain information," Xun Junyao added. "There are some things I don't dare investigate even if I had the power."

"I understand," Wang Wei nodded. "My purpose is primarily the parasites; I won't break the rules and touch these lineages unless it's absolutely imperative that I do so."

"That's good," Xun Junyao nodded. She successfully established such deep cooperation with these lineages and kept their relationship for so long because she knew how to control herself. Xun Junyao knew their taboos and never broke them.

"As for the price?" Xun Junyao looked him in the eyes. "You enlightened me, so I owe you karma. If you need help one day, you can ask, and I'll do everything in my power to help. But…"

"Business is business, friendship is friendship," Wang Wei said. "I understand and have no problem." "That's good," she nodded. "We can use the same standard I offered Jimin, and I'll give you a 20% discount." She condensed a talisman that served as a way to contact her directly and contained a detailed system of how she classified the value of certain information and their price.

'From 1 star to 9 stars, but even the lowest 1 star information is expensive, even with the discount,' Wang Wei complained. 'However, I understand why it's so expensive.'

Xun Junyao chose the elite path of selling information, meaning people who buy information from her already have a decent spy network and only buy things they cannot find themselves.

'Why do I find this setting suddenly became weird?' Wang Wei thought as he looked at this information. He knew Xun Junyao had an extensive network, but now, she was more than that. She had become a broker of information, selling news to the elite. She reminded him of an anime character from Earth named Joker in the Underground.

'This woman is more complex than I gave her credit for,' Wang Wei concluded.
