Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 109: Mutual Reminders

Xu Xun’s face seemed to turn somewhat unpleasant.

It seemed he felt that Li Yunjing was getting a bit too close to Yu Yunyi.

Seeing Xu Xun somewhat unhappy, Li Yunjing chuckled; this guy seemed a bit petty.

Although he admired a remarkable woman like Yu Yunyi,

there had never been any real relationship between them, and he had never expressed his feelings.

What are you doing?

I’m just at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, compared to your cultivation and status, I’m far behind.

Do you see me as a rival?

Should I feel honored or sad?

So that’s what Fu Chao meant when he told me to be careful of you!

Turns out Fu Chao also knew you were a petty person!

Anyway, now that Li Yunjing is on the rise, he’s not afraid of Xu Xun at all.

At the banquet, he made friends with people from all sides.

Among the dozen or so geniuses present, most of them found a connection with Li Yunjing.

These people almost all held positions in important areas, core spots.

While talking, Li Yunjing felt the immense energy these people possessed.

In the future, if there were any issues, he might be able to ask them for small favors.

For instance, the next steps for Yue Zhouwang; among these people, that would not be a big matter.

Of course, this matter couldn’t be discussed now; it had to wait until they were more familiar with each other and had exchanged benefits.

If he brought it up now, people would think Li Yunjing was too opportunistic.

Who would dare to approach him then!

Amidst the laughter and casual conversations, he heard a lot of interesting stories and shared some of his own cultivation insights, which broadened his circle significantly.

This gathering lasted until past noon before it completely dissipated.

They agreed to meet again next time and then left in small groups.

As the host, Yu Yunyi naturally saw off each friend at the door.

When it was Li Yunjing’s turn to leave, Yu Yunyi suddenly spoke, "Li Yunjing, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Humph!"

This scene made Xu Xun, who had yet to leave, even angrier.

He threw a fierce glare at Li Yunjing, said nothing, and left Yu Yunyi’s house in a flash, transforming into a streak of light and quickly disappearing.

He was truly furious!

"Tsk tsk! Stingy person!"

Li Yunjing looked innocent; what did this have to do with him?

Innocent bystander?

Seeing this, Lv Ruoxi smiled meaningfully, waved at Yu Yunyi, and softly said, "Yunyi, see you! Junior Brother Li, if there’s any news, I’ll let you know!"

Finally, she gave Li Yunjing a deeply affectionate look.

This enchanting gaze made Li Yunjing shiver uncontrollably.

"Uh..."

Li Yunjing didn’t say much, his body tensed up, and he bid goodbye to Lv Ruoxi with a bitter smile.

This woman was ruthless; she didn’t leave without causing trouble for him.

Sure enough, when Li Yunjing glanced over, he saw that Yu Yunyi’s face didn’t look pleased.

The others sensed it too and quickly left one by one.

Fu Chao was the last to leave, chuckling strangely before disappearing.

Everyone had left, and Yu Yunyi closed the door without saying a word, heading straight for the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Hey! Miss, do you need something from me?"

The little maid Ling’Er was tidying up the living room. Li Yunjing touched his nose helplessly and could only follow Yu Yunyi to the balcony on the second floor, looking at the scenery outside, and gently asked.

"I didn’t expect your cultivation to improve so quickly! Maybe everyone has underestimated your talent."

Yu Yunyi didn’t mention the earlier incident, instead, she began to praise Li Yunjing lightly.

Yu Yunyi was indeed a woman with a deep mind.

"This is all thanks to Miss and the Yu Family’s assistance! Without your several rescues, what good would talent be? A dead genius is nothing."

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, reiterating his gratitude to the Yu Family and Yu Yunyi.

He naturally knew what to say to keep Yu Yunyi in a good mood.

Li Yunjing was well aware that his relationship with Yu Yunyi was quite ordinary at the moment.

Friends?

Hardly, just acquaintances.

Their relationship was mostly based on Li Yunjing’s talent and usefulness.

He didn’t mind this at all.

Being useful is a form of respect; the real fear is having no value and being ignored.

That would be true misery.

"Hmm..."

Yu Yunyi’s face softened a bit after hearing Li Yunjing’s statement.

"Lv Ruoxi is a very dangerous woman; you should stay away from her. She loves to play with talented young men in the sect."

"Her master is also an extraordinary figure. A lot of geniuses have suffered under Lv Ruoxi, but they have no choice but to endure it, too afraid to seek revenge!"

"I don’t want to see you fall for her tricks and end up in a miserable state!"

Yu Yunyi didn’t bring up any other topic but instead chose to share this advice.

"Uh... Is this a stab in the back between girlfriends?"

Li Yunjing found it amusing, not expecting Yu Yunyi to have such moments.

It seemed that a woman is always a woman after all, always a bit petty!

Following Yu Yunyi’s intentions, Li Yunjing didn’t argue but instead kept a serious face and nodded, saying, "Rest assured, Miss! I’m not close to Lv Ruoxi and don’t think there’s any deeper connection with her."

Only by taking a firm stand can one sail smoothly!

Swaying left and right will lead to an inevitable downfall!

Having navigated the corporate world in his past life, Li Yunjing knew well how to pick sides.

The gratitude from the Yu Family was tangible, whereas Lv Ruoxi’s offers were mere illusions.

"Good, that’s better!"

Yu Yunyi nodded, feeling relieved in her heart.

Lv Ruoxi in the sect was infamous for seducing talents, and she was highly effective at it.

This seductive woman, relying on her unmatched beauty and excellent manipulative skills, had ensnared many prodigies and was a notorious collector of conquests.

Even Yu Yunyi had to acknowledge that when it came to manipulating men, she was no match for Lv Ruoxi.

The incidents where others suffered losses were not something Yu Yunyi had made up.

Yu Yunyi certainly didn’t want the person she supported to be ruined by Lv Ruoxi before he could be of any use.

Lv Ruoxi was a true femme fatale!

She was worried that Li Yunjing wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and would become Lv Ruoxi’s pawn.

Didn’t you see Fu Chao, the notorious playboy, avoiding Lv Ruoxi throughout the gathering?

Even a wild guy like Fu Chao kept his distance from her, fearing being played by her.

That woman was a thorny rose, certainly beyond what Fu Chao could handle.

Fu Chao knew his limits and never attempted to provoke someone he couldn’t win over.

His philosophy was simple: if a woman was hard to get, he wouldn’t waste time on coaxing her.

He didn’t have the patience for that; avoiding trouble was a wise choice for Fu Chao.

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi were on his blacklist long ago.

"By the way, Miss, I also have something to tell you!"

Li Yunjing’s expression grew serious as he looked at Yu Yunyi and said.

"Oh?"

Yu Yunyi was taken aback, not expecting such words from Li Yunjing. What did he want to say?

"Go ahead, I’m all ears!"

Yu Yunyi teased, genuinely curious about what had made Li Yunjing so serious.

"Xu Xun is not a good person! He may seem sunny on the outside, but inwardly, he’s dark and ruthless, adhering strictly to principles that make him unsuitable for you family clans."

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly, saying, "He is definitely a twisted person! He’s not someone of your kind! More dangerous than Lv Ruoxi!"

"Hahaha..."

Yu Yunyi was startled at first, then gently covered her mouth, laughing so hard she almost cried.

Maintaining her usual composed image seemed impossible.

Forgetting all about her noble demeanor as a family’s young lady, she laughed heartily.

Li Yunjing remained serious, seemingly indifferent to Yu Yunyi’s laughter.

After a long while, Yu Yunyi finally caught her breath, smiling, and studied Li Yunjing thoughtfully.

Her bright eyes shimmered with mysterious light as she asked, "You don’t think there’s something special between Xu Xun and me, do you?"

"I wouldn’t know."

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, continuing, "But based on my experience, Xu Xun is definitely not a good person! When he approaches you, he’s up to no good."

He kept his serious tone, determined to undermine Xu Xun.

Since Xu Xun had ill intentions toward him, why not strike back in a similar manner?

The more Xu Xun acted, the more determined Li Yunjing was to make sure Xu Xun couldn’t blend in with Yu Yunyi!

This was something Li Yunjing excelled at!

"Xu Xun and I haven’t known each other for long, just new acquaintances."

Yu Yunyi gave Li Yunjing a meaningful glance, explaining lightly.

"Whew..."

Li Yunjing breathed a long sigh of relief, smiling, "That’s good! I was really afraid Miss would suffer because of him!"

Learning there was no relationship between the two, Li Yunjing’s heart relaxed.

This had nothing to do with any feelings between him and Yu Yunyi; he simply didn’t want her involved with anyone else.

Like some fans devastated when their favorite actress dates someone, Li Yunjing felt the same.

The idea of a perfect goddess with Xu Xun was intolerable!

"Am I like that?"

Yu Yunyi couldn’t help but give Li Yunjing a sideways glance, this guy was getting bolder.

He used to speak with her formally and somewhat timidly.

Now, with his improved strength, his confidence surged, and he dared to joke with her.

Yu Yunyi wasn’t angry with this.

This was the mindset of a strong person.

If Li Yunjing constantly acted timid, he would have no great future.

Such followers, she could call and dismiss as she pleased.

What she valued were true top talents.

"Miss, if you have time next month, I want to host a dinner to express my gratitude to you and the Yu Family."

Li Yunjing said.

"Next month? Why not today?"

Yu Yunyi smiled, looking at him playfully.

"Because for an esteemed guest like you, I need to prepare diligently to show my sincerity,"

Seeing that Yu Yunyi didn’t refuse, Li Yunjing smiled.

"Alright then! I’ll wait for your invitation next month."

Yu Yunyi nodded, agreeing to Li Yunjing’s invitation.

"By the way, Miss, what do you think of Wang Weizhi?"

Casually, Li Yunjing asked.

"Oh? Wang Weizhi? The one from Sunset Valley?"

Yu Yunyi seemed to recall the person.

"Yes, him! Wang Weizhi is my friend. Since I moved to the Outer Sect after advancing, I rarely visit Sunset Valley to support his business."

Pausing, Li Yunjing continued, "Miss, could you perhaps transfer him to Liuyun Market? That would let him earn some commissions when I buy things."

This small favor naturally posed no issue to Yu Yunyi.

Instead, it made her look at Li Yunjing with appreciation.

The only thing Wang Weizhi had done for Li Yunjing was deliver messages twice.

Yet, Li Yunjing remembered this and wanted to repay the favor as soon as he could!
