Seems like you’ve become a bit more confident than before?
"Hehe! Of course, I have, Young Miss Yunyi!"
Li Yunjing chuckled softly, even changing the way he addressed Yu Yunyi.
Yu Yunyi, being so astute, immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Li Yunjing actually dared to call her by name?
Did he think he was now qualified to be on equal footing with her?
With this thought, a slight blush crept onto Yu Yunyi’s delicate face. Was this guy trying to pursue her?
"By the way! Young Miss, how about we take advantage of this nice weather after the rain and head straight to Yaxiang Garden for a meal? I’ve prepared a luxurious feast!"
Seeing Yu Yunyi’s mix of emotions, Li Yunjing gently interrupted her thoughts with a smile.
Some things were best left to nature to take their course. After some time, Yu Yunyi would become accustomed to it.
Li Yunjing wasn’t in a hurry!
As just an Outer Disciple, how could he possibly be qualified to be involved with someone like Yu Yunyi, and establish any relationship right now?
Never mind the Yu Family’s opposition; even within the Shenxiao Dao Sect, he couldn’t bear the curses of many fellow disciples!
Li Yunjing certainly didn’t want to one day earn himself the title of a freeloader!
When he was promoted to being a True Disciple, then he could pursue Yu Yunyi openly and honorably.
As for Xu Xun, he’d still have to give his love rival a good beating when the time came!
Of course, just a beating. Xu Xun was still somewhat dignified, at least not like Wei Henian who specifically targeted him.
"Fine! Let’s see what good things you’ve prepared!"
Yu Yunyi thought for a moment. She had nothing urgent, so she could check out Li Yunjing’s sincerity.
As for their relationship, neither of them made it clear.
Arriving at Yaxiang Garden early indeed amazed Yue Zhouwang, Ma Xingyuan, and Wang Yun.
However, they took Li Yunjing’s instructions very seriously and had already prepared everything.
Now all that was needed was to prepare the feast and entertain the two honored guests.
"You all get busy! We’ll take a stroll!"
Li Yunjing instructed Yue Zhouwang, Ma Xingyuan, and the others to start.
Then he took Yu Yunyi for a walk outside.
Yu Yunyi seemed quite curious about the outside world.
She even took the initiative to ask Li Yunjing to show her where he lived in the Outer Sect.
Li Yunjing found this very speechless.
For a wealthy young miss like Yu Yunyi, it seemed her world was completely different from that of the ordinary disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
She seemed clueless about the life of Servant Disciples and Outer Disciples.
After an hour of walking, they arrived at the Outer Disciples’ living quarters from Qiongze Peak.
Li Yunjing narrated his various experiences since joining the sect, and Yu Yunyi listened attentively.
The content of the information was not much different from what she knew, but hearing Li Yunjing’s heartfelt words gave her a different feeling.
In over half a year’s time, Li Yunjing had grown from a mere Tier One Qi Cultivation Realm Loose Cultivator to this level. Who could have imagined it?
Along the way, the two walked side by side, slowly taking in the mountain scenery.
Yu Yunyi also shared some of her stories.
A young miss from a wealthy family, a peerless genius, someone who had immersed herself in cultivation since childhood.
Yu Yunyi had undergone extremely rigorous elite training within her clan.
From childhood until now, she had almost no freedom and heartwarming moments, more rigorous training and killings.
The Yu Family’s prodigies were not greenhouse flowers, and Yu Yunyi was not confined indoors, cultivating relentlessly every day.
All the trials and tests she should have undergone, she completed without exception.
This intimate interaction gave both Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi a deeper understanding of each other.
It seemed the other person was never what they had originally imagined.
Li Yunjing even felt a slight sympathy for Yu Yunyi’s life.
Her childhood might not have been happy.
"Ah! Every family has its issues! In life, things rarely go as one wishes!"
With a light sigh, they found themselves back at Yaxiang Garden.
By now, all the exquisite dishes had been served neatly.
This was the best private room in Yaxiang Garden.
A round table large enough to seat thirty people.
At the moment, only Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were dining there.
Ma Xingyuan stood to the side, introducing each dish to Yu Yunyi one by one.
The steaming, exquisite dishes looked and smelled wonderful, truly appetizing.
Yu Yunyi was secretly shocked. Li Yunjing had actually bought a Thunder Shock Leopard to entertain her!
Such lavish expenditures were indeed extraordinary, even Yu Yunyi would need to consider a budget for such a treat.
The drinks, tea, and Spirit Fruits were all extremely valuable, with none of the Spirit Fruits being of lower than Middle Grade!
One had to know, a single crystal-clear fruit that looked like a grape in the fruit plate, if a Loose Cultivator got it, they wouldn’t bear to eat it but use it to refine an elixir.
Calculating, the various ingredients Li Yunjing used to entertain her were worth at least 1000 Low Grade Spirit Stones!
Even Yu Yunyi wouldn’t hold such a lavish feast several times a year!
"Why are you being so wasteful? With just the two of us, how much can we even eat?"
After Ma Xingyuan finished the introductions, he tactfully excused himself, and Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing, pouting.
"Hehe! Yunyi, it’s my first time treating you to a meal, it has to be special. Besides, does the cost of Spirit Stones even matter? As long as Young Miss is happy, nothing else matters."
