Chapter 73 Intrigue
With this treasure, Li Yunjing's defense has improved significantly.

Just as Li Yunjing was getting familiar with her new home, there was a knock on the door.

The gate outside the courtyard was connected to Li Yunjing's pavilion by an array, and he immediately sensed that someone had arrived.

This made Li Yunjing frown.

I've just entered the outer sect and moved to a new house, so who's coming to find me?
The "identity token" was activated, and instantly, the figure of a young woman appeared outside the gate.

This woman was tall and slender, with a graceful figure, cascading black hair, a delicate neck, and beautiful features. Wearing the blue Taoist robe of the outer sect, she exuded a refined elegance.

"Hmm? Who is this woman?"

Li Yunjing was curious, as he was certain he had never seen this person before.

Why would a beautiful, unfamiliar woman approach me?
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing left the room, walked through the garden, arrived at the door, and opened it.

"Who are you, fellow disciple?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"You must be Junior Brother Li? I am Linghua from the outer sect. I heard that you were able to complete outer sect missions even when you were a menial disciple, so I came here specifically to make your acquaintance. If there are any missions in the future, we can cooperate."

Linghua chuckled softly, her voice melodious and soothing, like a gentle melody.

"So it's Senior Sister Linghua, please come in!"

Li Yunjing nodded, opened the door, and invited Linghua into his mansion's living room.

As for why Linghua found out about it so quickly?

Although Li Yunjing was slightly surprised, he didn't think much of it. His case was easy to investigate, as there were simply too many people involved.

The stewards of the Miscellaneous Service Hall, ordinary outer disciples, Hou Boyan, stewards of the External Affairs Hall, inner disciples, members of the Yu family, members of the Fu family, members of the Enforcement Hall...

Too many people now know about Li Yunjing.

Of course, Wei Henian must have found out as well.

I just don't know where this woman comes from.
Is it really about getting to know each other so we can look out for each other in the future, or are there other ulterior motives?
Li Yunjing had no idea, but he decided to make contact with her for the time being and investigate the woman.

Take a look and see if it's well-intentioned or malicious.

"Senior Sister Linghua, please have some tea."

While calculating in his mind, Li Yunjing skillfully brewed a cup of tea for Linghua.

"Thank you, junior brother. I learned about you through a senior brother in the 'Miscellaneous Service Hall'. I never expected you to be so amazing, completing the mission alone and escaping unscathed from a life-or-death battle."

Linghua looked at Li Yunjing with her big, bright eyes full of admiration.

This surprised him somewhat; the scene seemed strangely familiar…

Back when he roamed the clubs and spent lavishly, it seems those girls looked at him with the same kind of gaze...

"Hmm? This woman doesn't seem like a good person."

Li Yunjing muttered to himself, becoming more wary of Linghua.

"Alas! The past is too painful to recall! If it weren't for Senior Brother Han and the other three taking care of me, I would probably have died in the mouth of the 'Crimson Sun Serpent' long ago. My poor four good senior brothers were eaten clean by the 'Crimson Sun Serpent', leaving not even a trace of their remains."

Li Yunjing looked sorrowful, as if he had truly been saved by Senior Brother Han and his three companions that day.

"Ha ha……"

Linghua sneered inwardly. If she hadn't known that Junior Brother Han and his group were going to kill Li Yunjing, she would have believed it. It seemed this kid was not someone to be trifled with.

They really didn't let a word slip!
Linghua leaned back comfortably in her chair, then composed herself and said with a smile, "Junior Brother's escape is truly a blessing from heaven, a sign of great fortune."

Linghua's voice was soft and languid, and her pure and pretty face was tinged with a touch of allure.

Although Li Yunjing was very wary of Linghua, he was quite pleased to hear her speak in such a warm and sweet tone, with a pleasant voice.

"Heh! Luck! Luck!"

Li Yunjing, unaware of Linghua's purpose, smiled and gave her a perfunctory reply.

Linghua asked with concern, "By the way, Junior Brother Li, what is your first task? If there isn't a suitable arrangement, I can help you with something."

"So kind?"

Li Yunjing sneered inwardly. This woman is not Yu Yunyi. We are complete strangers. Why would you go to the trouble of helping me?

This made Li Yunjing wary. What did this woman want to do?
"Hehe! It's all set up now. I'm going to work at the 'Scripture Pavilion'."

Li Yunjing smiled, while his sharp gaze fixed on every change in Linghua's pretty face, trying to discern something.

"I never expected Junior Brother Li to have such a wonderful place. It's truly enviable!"

Linghua was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and her face was full of smiles, as if she was genuinely happy for Li Yunjing.

However, Linghua's heart was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

This job is the epitome of happiness.

If Linghua hadn't gotten close to Wei Henian, she wouldn't have gotten such a good job!
"Hehe! It's nothing special! It's all taken care of by Miss Yu!"

With a smile on his face, Li Yunjing continued, "I spent all my spirit stones planning this good place, and now I'm penniless."

"Hmm? Junior Brother is short of spirit stones?"

A flash of joy crossed Linghua's eyes, and she said with a sweet smile, "Senior sister is planning a mission outside. When you have your vacation, we'll go and complete it together. That way, we can also help you earn some spirit stones."

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Li Yunjing felt a little panicked; this woman was really not a good person!
There's no doubt about it; he's already certain!
Is this woman actually Wei Henian's person?
Is this an attempt to lure me out of seclusion?
Wei Henian, you bastard, you've even resorted to using your beauty to seduce me?
Thinking of this, Li Yunjing steeled his resolve, stood up, and sat down next to Linghua, saying gratefully, "This is wonderful! Senior Sister, you've given me a helping hand!"

Li Yunjing's approach and the man's burning breath made Linghua feel a little nervous. No matter how seductive she was, she had only been with one man, Wei Henian.

The young man in front of her actually sat down close to her, which made Linghua's heart pound.

After calming herself down, Linghua sighed and said gently, "The competition among outer disciples is fierce. People like us who want to stand out need to stick together and do our best to complete our own tasks in addition to sect missions!"

"Only in this way can we obtain enough resources and enter the inner sect as soon as possible."

"What you say is true, senior sister. Thank you for your guidance."

Li Yunjing was extremely grateful and couldn't help but grab Linghua's small hand.

That crystal-clear, snow-white jade hand was extremely soft and smooth, and it felt incredibly comfortable to hold in my hand.

"Junior brother..."

Linghua was startled, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes, which she forcibly suppressed before withdrawing her jade-like hand.
