"The Phoenix Perch Pavilion is best at gathering information," Lan Yi said with a light laugh. "Besides, Young Master Wang moving out wasn’t kept a secret from anyone. Not only my Phoenix Perch Pavilion, but others will naturally learn about it soon."
Despite her words, the speed at which they came still seemed too fast, indicating that countless eyes might be watching him closely now.
"Miss Lan Yi went through so much trouble to find me, surely it wasn’t just to meet me?"
Looking at Lan Yi, Wang Junze calmly inquired.
"Oh, Young Master Wang is quite direct."
Hearing this, Lan Yi paused slightly before covering her mouth with a light laugh, "Actually, Lan Yi had no other intentions but to hope to make friends with you. After the relic opens, if you’re able, give our Phoenix Perch Pavilion a hand. Of course, if it makes you uncomfortable, do not worry, time is long ahead, and my Phoenix Perch Pavilion has high hopes for your future."
As they spoke, the maid had already prepared the tea and brought it over.
Glancing at the tea cup, Wang Junze couldn’t help but feel a slight movement in his heart. Surprisingly, the tea water contained a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, clearly not a mortal grade but a spirit tea that aids in cultivation.
"This is our Phoenix Perch Pavilion’s unique Phoenix Cry Tea, Young Master, feel free to try it."
Picking up the tea cup, Lan Yi smiled and explained.
Upon hearing, Wang Junze did not refuse and slowly took a sip of tea, immediately feeling a surge of spiritual energy flowing into his meridians, slightly invigorating his spirit.
Wang Junze softly praised.
"If Young Master likes it, Lan Yi will prepare some for you every month," Lan Yi said with a smile. "If there’s anything else you need Lan Yi for, she will surely cooperate with you."
Her words seemed to imply something else, but she spoke vaguely, making it inappropriate for Wang Junze to ask too clearly.
However, following the rumored practices of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, since Lan Yi chose to meet Wang Junze, it meant she harbored the intention of being with him.
Furthermore, aside from other things, Lan Yi herself was indeed an outstanding woman, whether in appearance, demeanor, or conversation, she was top-notch, and her cultivation of Condensing Truth made her one of the most exceptional disciples in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion.

Ordinary people would find it hard to resist such temptation indeed.
However, Wang Junze understood that once he truly got involved with Lan Yi, he would inevitably get entangled with the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, sinking deeper and deeper!
Not to mention, at least the path to the Judgment Department would be cut off.
Even joining the Profound Moon Sword Sect would cause more trouble.
Such benefits delivered to one’s door were truly not as easy to take.
Moreover, although Lan Yi was beautiful, compared to Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan, it was like comparing a phoenix to a pheasant. Having seen these two, how could Wang Junze be moved by such a woman?
"I appreciate your kindness, but one shouldn’t accept rewards without merits. Being able to taste such good tea is quite satisfying."
Wang Junze shook his head slightly without any hesitation, directly refusing.
"Just some trivial stuff, Young Master, why push people away ? It really breaks Lan Yi’s heart," Lan Yi said softly, looking at Wang Junze with a face of grievance.
"It’s getting late, the tea is finished, please leave, Miss Lan Yi, otherwise, if rumors spread about a lone man and woman, it might damage your reputation."
Putting down the teacup, Wang Junze slowly stood up and made a gesture of invitation, directly sending her off.
Seeing Wang Junze’s attitude, Lan Yi didn’t insist further, stood up to bow, and sighed, "Young Master has a misunderstanding about Lan Yi. Since that’s the case, Lan Yi will not disturb you for now. With more interactions in the future, Young Master will understand Lan Yi’s intentions."
After saying these words, Lan Yi immediately left the courtyard with several maids, her departure neat and decisive.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, watching the others leave, Wang Junze’s mind also turned with many thoughts.
Compared to direct threats, this kind of temptation often has a more substantial effect on people’s minds. As soon as he left the inn, someone sought him, implying such troubles might increase. Even hiding in the small courtyard wouldn’t be enough.
Thinking about it, Wang Junze didn’t stay in the courtyard, directly getting up heading to the Moon Viewing Tower.
Since he promised Su Yuwei to investigate the Deserters, he needed to understand more information, otherwise staying in this small courtyard wouldn’t give him any direction to start.
Soon, Wang Junze arrived at the Moon Viewing Tower.
Like before, he casually found a table in a corner to sit down, ordered some wine and dishes, listening to nearby people’s idle talk.
Initially, Wang Junze seemed somewhat indifferent, but soon, the matters discussed at the table beside him instantly made his complexion change dramatically, standing up abruptly.
"Have you heard? Just received news that today, Cloud Mirror Sect disciples left Jubei City to enter the Extreme North Wilderness, got attacked by Deserters, suffered heavy losses. It is said that three or four True Disciples have died, and the leading Elder was severely injured, now still trapped in the Extreme North Wilderness."
