"Um... Sorry, sister! It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone who treats me so well. You reminded me of my sister!"
Li Yunjing rubbed his nose, the scent of Linghua still lingering on his hands, and said apologetically.
"Hmm... Junior Brother, I shall take my leave first. When you have settled down, I’ll find some time to visit you again."
Having realized that Li Yunjing was difficult to deal with and feeling wronged by him, Linghua’s attitude towards him became noticeably colder.
"Very well! Let me see you off, Sister."
Li Yunjing was more than happy to see Linghua leave. If he had known earlier, he would not have wasted so much time on small talk and would have scared her away immediately with his devilish hands.
As for her looking for him in the future?
Even better, he could devise a plan. Who knows who would fall for it then?
Li Yunjing had already figured out that this woman was trying to use her beauty to ensnare him, but she was too inexperienced and shy.
Linghua’s skills were far inferior to that of Liu Ruyan from the Smoke Rain Tower!
Thinking of Liu Ruyan, Li Yunjing felt a slight daze. Such an enticing enchantress; it’s only natural for a man to be curious!
Realizing he was somewhat lost in thought, Li Yunjing smiled and said, "I look forward to your next visit, Sister."
Without mentioning Li Yunjing’s return to cultivation, Linghua returned to her residence where an Outer Sect female disciple was serving her tea and water, standing by attentively.
This female disciple asked, "Sister, has Li Yunjing been entranced by you? That kid surely can’t escape your grasp!"
This fellow disciple was buttering up to Fairy Linghua.
Even though both were members of the Outer Sect and part of the Laws Association,
Fairy Linghua had a relationship with Wei Henian and was the top disciple of the Laws Association in the Outer Sect.
With a high position and great authority, all other Outer Sect disciples had to follow her orders.
The rules of the Laws Association were far stricter than those of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
This female disciple’s status was vastly different from Fairy Linghua’s, so she had no choice but to obey her.
As for leaving the Laws Association?
That would depend on whether she dared!
The Laws Association even dared to collect protection fees within the Sect; what wouldn’t they dare to do?
"Fool! Get out of here!"
Already filled with anger from being taken advantage of by Li Yunjing, Linghua shouted furiously, and with one slap, sent the female disciple flying, her teeth scattered, stained with blood.
"Sister, I was wrong."
The female disciple was stunned but quickly realized that Sister Linghua had suffered a setback. Terrified, she knelt and begged for mercy with a thud.
"Li Yunjing, this little bastard! Just you wait! I will make sure he wishes he were dead!"
Linghua’s rage boiled over, the veins on her forehead bulging, her boots trampling harshly on the female disciple’s face, until it was deformed and bleeding, before she finally stopped.
Shocked and trembling, the female disciple straightened up and responded continuously without daring to utter another word.
Fearing that speaking more would only result in more mistakes.
"Next month, arrange for an outer mission and have Ye Long deal with it personally. I don’t believe Li Yunjing is so lucky that he can escape the hunt of an Inner Sect disciple!"
After venting her anger, Linghua’s rage subsided, and a cold smile appeared on her face once more.
Upon hearing this, the female disciple fell to the ground, her face pale, trembling all over.
She didn’t know what Li Yunjing had done to make Sister Linghua this angry,
that she would directly order Inner Sect disciples to kill him!
Seeing her maid’s foolish expression, Linghua’s anger reignited, and she kicked the female disciple, sending her flying and landing heavily at the door.
The female disciple bowed and quickly scrambled out of the room.
Li Yunjing naturally had no idea that Linghua, who had appeared as an elegant cat in front of him, had such a mad side behind his back.
After resting for a night, early the next morning, Li Yunjing left his residence, preparing to check in at the Scripture Pavilion.
This was a lucrative assignment, and Li Yunjing was in high spirits as he quickly headed towards the Central Mountain Range.
The Scripture Pavilion, being a crucial part of the Sect, was naturally located within the Central Mountain Range.
The Central Mountain Range was the core area of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, where, besides the Sect’s main institutions, only Elders in the Golden Core Realm could reside.
These Elders’ residences had extremely strict regulations, allowing only a few attendants, and no family members.
Each Golden Core Elder was allowed only ten attendants. The Sect didn’t restrict the level of cultivation of these ten, but it absolutely did not allow over ten people!
If you wanted to bring family members, you had to register them as attendants and strictly adhere to the ten-person limit.
The higher-ups did not want the Central Mountain Range to be as crowded as other mountains, which could disturb the cultivation of important figures.
The Scripture Pavilion was located on Brocade Peak within the Central Mountain Range. Once Li Yunjing followed the path to the Central Mountain Range, he was continually checked.
He had to show his identity token multiple times before finally reaching the base of Brocade Peak.
Li Yunjing let out a long breath. Only here did he feel the majesty of the Sect!
Every step seemed watched.
It was completely different from the outer sect!
Brocade Peak wasn’t very tall. Looking up, it was only three thousand feet high, seemingly shorter than some peaks in the Outer Sect.
As Li Yunjing prepared to follow a path up the mountain, a team of Outer Sect disciples stopped him.
This team had ten members!
"Li Yunjing! Here to carry out Sect duties!"
Li Yunjing repeated this mechanically, handing over his identity token for inspection.
He had repeated himself so many times along the way; it was truly pitiful!
Getting up Brocade Peak was quite the challenge!
"Hmm? The steward of the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion?"
The inspecting Outer Sect disciple was shocked to find a minor official!
"Junior Brother Li, it’s all in order. Please proceed! The terrain of Brocade Peak is simple. Follow this path straight up to the summit, where you will find the Ten Thousand Volumes Hall, the core location. Once inside, you can find a steward to complete your identity handover."
Seeing that Li Yunjing had some status, the leading Outer Sect disciple was quite courteous and proactively introduced the mountain’s layout to him.
