Chapter 560: Chapter 296: Generous and Magnanimous (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

They must be reminded!

This was the second time the four had proposed joining.

"Welcome!"

Li Yunjing looked at the four people, saw their sincere attitudes, and they really wanted to join. So he nodded and smiled, "I warmly welcome you all. Let’s go have a drink with Brother Fang!"

"Sure!"

The four were overjoyed. Following Li Yunjing meant a more promising future.

"Hehe! Who are these four Daoist friends?"

Fang Long also smiled. He hadn’t expected that Li Yunjing’s faction had grown even more. A trip out, and four fellow sect members actively came over.

In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," factions were numerous.

Clans, influential figures of the sect, some prodigies, and the various peaks and halls—people are social animals, and everyone actively integrates into a circle for mutual advancement and retreat.

Especially in the Immortal Dao, if a powerful and united circle exists, whether internally or externally, no one dares to bully them.

Small figures have their circles, and big figures have theirs.

In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," some capable people even formed circles outside, with influence spanning the entire Southern Heaven Continent.

For example, Wei Henian, who found experts in the Demon Dao to ambush and kill Li Yunjing and Fu Chao.

This is also a circle!

As Li Yunjing’s circle grew stronger, Fang Long was also very pleased. He also belonged to half of Li Yunjing’s circle.

Li Yunjing becoming stronger was also very beneficial for Fang Long.

And once Fang Long advanced to the Golden Core Realm, he too could contribute back to the circle, making Li Yunjing a beneficiary.

In short, it was a great thing for everyone.

"I am Steward Jiang Zeyu of ’Danxia Peak’!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I am Fan Yuening of ’Danxia Peak’!"

"I am Yu Qianlan of ’Rising Sun Peak’!"

"I come from ’Celestial Craft Hall,’ and I am an Artifact Refiner, Cang Jiwen!"

The four introduced their backgrounds.

None of the four held high positions. Apart from Jiang Zeyu being a steward, the rest were ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, neither powerful nor influential.

However, Li Yunjing’s faction lacked their type of talent, so he, Lv Ruoxi, and Yu Yunyi warmly welcomed their joining.

The more Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who came under Li Yunjing, the better!

If half of the sect’s Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators leaned toward Li Yunjing, the next Sect Leader Venerable would almost certainly be him.

This is what they call the trend!

In ’Red Sun Valley,’ Fang Long’s residence, a grand feast was set up.

This time, Fang Long was pleased and spared no expense, treating Li Yunjing even better than last time.

Fang Long brought out almost everything good he could find, and everyone enjoyed the feast.

The drink session lasted until nightfall, and Li Yunjing and the others finally took the ’Cyan Cloud Ship’ back to the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’.

On ’Cyan Cloud Ship,’ Lv Ruoxi looked at Li Yunjing with a mischievous smile and asked, "Why don’t you take us to see your ’Star Moon Trading Company’?"

"Hehe!"

Li Yunjing’s heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be drunk and muttered, "Next time! I drank too much today, and I need to prepare for my upcoming duel with Han Yanzhi. I can’t be distracted."

"Hehe!"

Yu Yunyi sneered, glared at Li Yunjing, and said, "Are you afraid we’ll bully your little beauties?"

"Do you think we are such people?"

Lv Ruoxi also pouted in dissatisfaction.

In fact, Li Yunjing truly had that thought!

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi were both at the Foundation Establishment Realm, holding high positions of power, their status and strength far above Xing’Er and Yue’Er. When they met, Xing’Er and Yue’Er would undoubtedly feel a lot of pressure.

Li Yunjing naturally needed to find a balance between both sides.

’Star Moon Trading Company’ was the business Li Yunjing entrusted to Xing’Er and Yue’Er, hoping they could use it to elevate their status in the future.

Once ’Star Moon Trading Company’ expanded and Xing’Er and Yue’Er also reached Foundation Establishment, Li Yunjing would find an opportunity to introduce both sides.

Otherwise, with one side holding a high position and the other holding a low one, he truly didn’t want them to meet.

Yunjing valued both equally and didn’t want conflict at home.

"Hmph! Don’t overthink it. We wouldn’t bully your little darlings!"

Yu Yunyi rolled her eyes at Li Yunjing before steering the ’Cyan Cloud Ship’ towards the Shenxiao Mountain Range.

Jiang Zeyu, Fan Yuening, Yu Qianlan, and Cang Jiwen exchanged glances. Was this a situation where Li Yunjing maintained harmony at home while having diverse relationships outside?

This was a private matter, so the four pretended to be meditating, distancing themselves from the issue as if nothing was happening.

However, the name ’Star Moon Trading Company’ was firmly remembered by the four.

It seemed this business was a trading company established by Senior Brother Li outside.

Such things were not uncommon within the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Many powerful true disciples, stewards, and even elders had their own industries outside.

These industries were mostly trading companies aimed primarily at earning spirit stones.

As Li Yunjing and his companions leisurely returned to the Shenxiao Dao Sect, a storm was brewing inside the Law Enforcement Hall.

In the Law Enforcement Hall, Yu Yuanhua and a dozen Golden Core Realm elders were gathered.

These elders were real power figures, their Daoist skills and divine techniques were boundless. Among them, the vice hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm, just below the Nascent Soul Realm ancestors.

This person wielded authority over punishments and the power of life and death.

After Yu Yuanhua told them about Li Chuanghai’s attack on Li Yunjing and the theft of the Dan Yang Fruit, the members of the Law Enforcement Hall had to deliberate on the matter.

Earlier, when Li Yunjing and the others reported it, Yu Yuanhua had used the Memory Array to record the scene. In front of the elders, Yu Yuanhua played the recorded event.

"Deputy Hall Master Wan, regardless of the reasons, Li Chuanghai’s actions are unacceptable. As the senior brother, he did not protect his junior brother. Instead, he coveted a mere Dan Yang Fruit, using his divine magic power to oppress his fellow sect member. Please decide on this matter, Deputy Hall Master!"

Having already done the offending, Yu Yuanhua had no reservations. His voice was cold and merciless, appearing impartial and just.

"Indeed! This is too much! Li Chuanghai’s actions were witnessed by other sects and clans. We don’t know how they will spread it. Won’t our Shenxiao Dao Sect lose face because of him?"

The members of the Law Enforcement Hall were staunch and one elder spoke decisively.

Yu Yuanhua’s and the other elder’s words made the other elders look even grimmer.

They were crystal clear about what had happened.

Neither Li Chuanghai nor Li Yunjing’s behavior was satisfactory to the elders.

A public outburst brought disgrace to the Shenxiao Dao Sect!

These hawkish elders valued the sect’s reputation greatly and could say that both Li Yunjing and Li Chuanghai had thoroughly offended them.

"Summon Li Chuanghai! Give him a chance to defend himself!"

Deputy Hall Master Wan coldly issued the order.

"Yes! I will go fetch him!"

Yu Yuanhua stood up and strode out.

Soon, Yu Yuanhua led a squad of Black Armored Army from the Law Enforcement Hall to bring in Li Chuanghai.

Of course, Li Chuanghai still had some dignity and wasn’t subjected to shackles or anything.

"Li Chuanghai! Do you plead guilty?"

In the Law Enforcement Hall, Deputy Hall Master Wan sat majestically on the throne, looking down at Li Chuanghai in the hall’s center.

"I plead guilty, but I am somewhat wronged. It was Li Yunjing’s foul mouth and repeated insults that provoked me, causing me to lose my mind and attack him!"

"After striking, I also calmed down and was full of regret!"

Li Chuanghai trembled and spoke.
