The man in the gray robe was startled and thought, "A re cultivator in the Kaiyuan realm, and Li Xuan actually allows her to wear such a protective treasure close to her body?!"
The Lihe Sect has been keeping a low profile these years, how could they have such resources?
This foundation far exceeds that of an ordinary second-tier cultivation sect.
Bai Zhanji lightly shook his folding fan, hiding a playful greed beneath his gentle smile:
"It’s not just the ’Ten Thousand Character Arrow’; how could an ordinary woman resist my gentle peach-colored traps.
Li Jiujiu of the Lihe Sect, since she has the confidence to show a cold face and speak harshly, she must have sothing worthy of her pride."
The man in the gray robe said, "Li Xuan of the Lihe Sect, at most, is only in the Chengling realm. If Young Master Six truly desires Li Jiujiu...
Why don’t I devise a little sche in secret and help you gain both the beauty and the treasure sooner?"
Bai Zhanji smacked his fan on the man’s head: "You fool, this Li Jiujiu is not comparable to those others; put away your filthy ideas.
Although Li Xuan is only in the Chengling realm, neither Xianling City nor Shifang City are forces our Bai Family can provoke.
With Li Jiujiu, we must take the approach of boiling a frog in warm water, we can’t rush."
"Does the Young Master already have a good plan?"
Bai Zhanji smiled with deep aning and said: "I have already investigated; the trouble with evil spirits at Yundu Villa has deeper implications and is not sothing this group of young disciples can easily solve.
How amusing that the proud families of first-rate immortal sects look down upon such a small commission. I could use this opportunity to create a crisis and probe the true abilities of this Li Jiujiu.
If I can utilize the treasure she possesses to eliminate the evil spirits and demons in Yundu Villa in one fell swoop, I, Bai Zhanji, shall certainly beco renowned across regions and earn the capital to enter Shifang City."
Although gaining entry to Shifang City is excessively strict to an absurd degree, the expensive terms bring in incredibly rich rewards.
For children of second-tier immortal sect families like them, entering the well-known Shifang City, even if it’s just one of the outer cities and not one of the four main cities, would unquestionably elevate the Bai Family’s status.
Shifang City gathers the trendous wealth of the Six Realms. So exaggerated rumors even claim that if one could take a handful of soil from Shifang City, its value would be enough to sustain a city for three years.
In Shifang City, for a second-tier family, even doing a small business can feel like ushering in rains of gold and jade.
After resting briefly by the river, a group of young male and female disciples took flight using Sword Control.
On the morning of the third day, they reached Yundu Villa.
Yundu Villa is situated by the water, built above the lake. At dawn, the mist blurred the pavilion in the center of the lake, with the gentle breeze being the perfect companion.
The graceful willow branches lightly swept the water’s surface, with boats gliding as if between water and sky, exuding elegance, far from the chilly presence of evil spirits causing trouble.
The group of young cultivators, without any arrogance, directly descended into the deep courtyard of the manor.
Led by Bai Zhanji, they landed courteously outside the gate using Sword Control, knocked respectfully, and presented their visiting cards.
The steward of Yundu Villa opened the door looking weary, seeing their aura and attire, he dared not underestimate their youth.
As if eagerly looking forward, and finally having t his destined saviors, he eagerly invited them into the villa.
"Oh esteed Immortals who save and help the suffering, I have finally awaited your grand arrival. If you had co any later, my wife would surely not have been able to wait for you all!"
The brocade-clad young man approaching them must be Chi Wenyan, the master of Yundu Villa.
He hurried towards them, looking exhausted and haggard, with originally handso features now covered in green stubble.
His eyes had dark circles, and his neck bore several noticeable red scratch marks.
It seems that these days, the young manor master has been constantly guarding his wife’s sickbed day and night, taking care of and comforting her tirelessly.
It was said that the young madam of Yundu Villa was so frightened by her pregnancy that she went mad.
The scratches on the young master’s body were estimates of being fiercely clawed by his wife during her frenzy.
Just as Chi Wenyan was about to kneel in a grand gesture to the group, Bai Zhanji looked ready to accept it with pleasure.
Not only him, even the other disciples of the immortal sects accepted it naturally.
After all, in their eyes, cultivators possess spiritual powers, destined to ascend to immortality one day, making them much nobler than re mortals.
Receiving such a veneration had long beco customary.
Li Jiujiu, seeing the young manor master’s exhausted appearance, knew he was tornted body and soul recently due to his wife’s condition.
Mortals most fear the chaotic gods, the spirits, most entrenched in superstitions.
When encountering such bizarre events, most people would believe their own wives to be of misfortune, driving them away or even killing them.
Yet this young manor master still remained unwaveringly protective for so long, indeed a rare devoted man.
She also disliked the inherent arrogance of those who cultivated, accepting being knelt to as if it was their right.
Clearly, among the secular world, who could truly claim to be more noble?
Li Jiujiu stepped forward, politely yet lightly supporting him back with spiritual power, not allowing Chi Wenyan to kneel.
"Young Manor Master, there is no need for such courtesy. You hire people to solve peril, and since we have already accepted the Yundu Villa’s commission fees, demon suppression, and exorcism are our duties, unworthy of such grand gestures."
