With this treasure, Li Yunjing’s defense was significantly enhanced.
Just as Li Yunjing was getting familiar with his new home, there was a knock on the door.
The large gate outside the courtyard was connected to an array and Li Yunjing’s pavilion. He noticed at once that someone had arrived.
This made Li Yunjing frown.
He had just joined the Outer Sect and moved into his new home. Who would come looking for him?
He activated his "Identity Token," and immediately, the figure of a young woman appeared beyond the gate.
This woman had a slender figure, a graceful bearing, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, a delicate neck, and a beautiful face. Wearing the blue Daoist robe of the Outer Sect, she looked even more graceful and elegant.
"Hmm? Who is this woman?"
Li Yunjing was curious and confirmed that he had never seen her before.
A stranger, a beautiful woman, had come to find him?
Thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing still walked out of his room, across the garden, and to the front gate, opening it.
"Fellow disciple, who might you be?"
"You must be Junior Brother Li? I am Linghua from the Outer Sect. I heard that even as a Servant Disciple, you could complete Outer Sect tasks, so I came specifically to make your acquaintance. We might collaborate on future tasks."
Linghua smiled softly, her voice melodious and pleasing, like a gentle musical tune.
"So it’s Senior Sister Linghua. Please, come in!"
Li Yunjing nodded, opening the door wider and inviting Linghua into his luxurious living room.
How did Linghua learn the news so quickly?
Li Yunjing, though slightly surprised, did not dwell on it. His matters were easily discovered as many people were involved.
Several stewards from the Miscellaneous Hall, ordinary Outer Sect disciples, Hou Boyan, stewards from the Foreign Affairs Hall, Inner Sect disciples, people from the Yu Family, people from the Fu Family, members of the Law Enforcement Hall...
Too many people knew about Li Yunjing.
Of course, Wei Henian must also know.
But where did this woman come from?
Did she genuinely want to establish a connection for future cooperation, or did she have other motives?
Li Yunjing couldn’t tell, but he decided to engage with her for now, also taking the chance to investigate her.
Find out if her intentions were good or malicious.
"Senior Sister Linghua, please have some tea."
As he calculated in his mind, Li Yunjing expertly brewed a cup of tea for Linghua.
"Thank you, Junior Brother. I got your information from a senior brother in the Miscellaneous Hall. I didn’t expect you to be so remarkable, completing an outside task alone and escaping unscathed from life-and-death situations."
Linghua’s sparkling eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Li Yunjing.
This surprised him. This scene seemed familiar...
Back in the day when he frequented pleasure houses, spending extravagantly, the girls there looked at him with the same admiration...
"Hmm? This woman doesn’t seem like a good person?"
Li Yunjing murmured to himself, becoming more wary of Linghua.
"Sigh! The past is unbearable to look back on! If it weren’t for Senior Brother Han and the others taking care of me, I would have been eaten by the Red Sun Giant Snake. My four senior brothers didn’t leave even their bones behind."
Li Yunjing’s face showed sadness, as if it was really true that he was saved by the four senior brothers.
Linghua chuckled coldly inside. If she hadn’t known that Senior Brother Han and the others were sent to kill Li Yunjing, she might have been fooled.
It seemed this young man was not easy to deal with.
He wouldn’t let slip a single word!
Relaxing in her chair, Linghua adjusted her emotions before speaking with a smile, "Junior Brother’s ability to escape is indeed a great blessing and fortune."
Linghua’s voice was soft and carried a hint of laziness, and her pure face had a touch of charm.
Even though Li Yunjing was alert about Linghua, he couldn’t help but feel pleased with her warm and pleasant voice.
"Hehe! Luck! Just luck!"
Li Yunjing didn’t know Linghua’s intentions, so he responded with a smiling face.
Linghua asked with concern, "By the way, Junior Brother Li, what is your first task? If you don’t have a suitable arrangement, Senior Sister can help you."
Li Yunjing laughed inside. This woman was not Yu Yunyi; they were strangers. Why would she go out of her way to help?
This made Li Yunjing more vigilant. What was this woman after?
"Hehe! It’s already arranged. I’ll be working at the Scripture Pavilion."
Li Yunjing said as he observed every change in expression on Linghua’s face, trying to read her intentions.
"I didn’t expect Junior Brother Li to get such a good position. Really, it’s enviable!"
Linghua was stunned but quickly responded with a smile, as if genuinely happy for Li Yunjing.
But inside, Linghua was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
This position was extremely fortunate.
If it wasn’t for Linghua being close to Wei Henian, she wouldn’t have such a good position either!
"Hehe! Just average! It’s all thanks to Miss Yu’s help!"
Li Yunjing smiled and continued, "Arranging this position has exhausted my Spirit Stones. Now, I am broke."
"Hmm? Junior Brother is short of Spirit Stones?"
Linghua’s eyes twinkled with joy, and she giggled, "I am planning a task outside. When you are off duty, we can complete it together. That way, you can earn some Spirit Stones."
Showing such unusual kindness, she must have an ulterior motive!
Li Yunjing felt anxious. This woman was not a good person!
No doubt about it, he was sure!
Was this woman Wei Henian’s person?
Was she trying to lure him out?
Wei Henian, you bastard, using a beauty trap now?
Thinking this, Li Yunjing steeled his heart, stood up, and sat next to Linghua, gratefully saying, "That’s wonderful! Thank you for pulling me up, Senior Sister!"
Li Yunjing’s closeness and the heat from his body made Linghua feel a bit nervous. Despite her seductive nature, she had only been with Wei Henian.
This kid sat close to her, making Linghua’s heart race.
Calming herself, Linghua sighed and tenderly said, "The competition among the Outer Disciples is fierce. People like us need to stick together, completing our own tasks besides the Sect’s."
"Only in this way can we gather enough resources to quickly enter the Inner Sect."
"You are right, Senior Sister. Thank you for your guidance."
Li Yunjing, full of gratitude, couldn’t help but hold Linghua’s delicate hand.
Her hand was soft and smooth, extremely pleasant to the touch.
Linghua was startled, a flash of killing intent in her eyes, which she quickly suppressed, pulling her hand back.
