Chapter 413 Secret Encounters
Yunxi took the visiting card, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Invite him in."

"Yes, True Lord."

The disciple went to the sect gate to pick up the person. Yunxi looked at the visiting card with the logo of the Tianlin spaceship and her eyes flickered.

The Tianlin spaceship had long been in her sights, and it seemed that every time something happened, she could find the shadow of this spaceship. Although they did nothing, it was precisely because of their unintentional actions that they created opportunities for the evil cultivators' actions.

She had mentioned this to her master before, and during the five years she was in charge of the "Hive," she arranged for her disciples to investigate the Flying Lin Shipyard. They did find a few suspicious people, but they could not find any evidence that they were involved with evil cultivators.

The matter was put aside, but she and Yu Ling arranged for people to keep a close eye on the shipping company. Any unusual activity would be reported back to the sect. However, they didn't know what the other party's purpose was in taking the initiative to come to their door this time.

A quarter of an hour later, a Golden Core cultivator dressed in a gray robe, led by a disciple of Lingxue Peak, stepped into Yunxi's courtyard.

"True Lord, the person has been brought."

The disciple bowed respectfully and then left the courtyard.

The male cultivator at the Golden Core stage bowed respectfully and said:

"I am Yu Jiang, a ship protector of Tianlin Ship Company. I have come here on your behalf to deliver a message on behalf of True Monarch Ye Yirui of Medicine King Valley in the Central Region."

After saying that, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Yunxi did not rush to accept the jade slip, but instead waved her sleeve and accepted it, saying:
"Does Ye Yirui have anything she wants you to convey to me?"

Yu Jiang shook his head and said:
"No, Lord Ye said you'll understand once you've read the jade slip."

Yunxi continued to ask:

"Does your spaceship company also take on these kinds of message delivery jobs?"

Yu Jiang nodded and said:
"Our ship travels between the five regions and also takes on some missions to deliver messages and goods. It's always a good thing to earn more spirit stones."

"But please rest assured, True Lord, our reputation is always excellent. If we fail to complete the task, we will refund all the spirit stones and even provide additional compensation in spirit stones."

Yunxi nodded in agreement, thinking that the owner behind Tianlin Shipping was quite shrewd and knew how to maximize profits.

"Who is the owner of the Tianlin Flying Ship?"

Yu Jiang paused for a moment, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied:

"The owner of Tianlin Shipping Company is Venerable Baiyue, but he has never interfered in the affairs of the shipping company. It is his deputy, True Lord Baixiang, who handles them."

She had read about Venerable Baiyue. This person was somewhat mysterious, a Nascent Soul cultivator who was rarely seen, and whose whereabouts were a mystery. She felt that Venerable Baiyue was probably just a nominal owner of Tianlin Ship Company, and the real owner was someone else.

Bai Xiang handled the shipping business diligently, though he was a bit rigid in his personality. He was methodical in his work and there was nothing unusual about him.

That's why the previous investigation had hit a bottleneck, but now that someone has come knocking on her door, she naturally wants to make good use of it, so she tossed a storage bag to Yu Jiang:

"Thank you for your trouble. I have received your letter. Please inform Lord Ye when you return."

"Yes, Yujiang understands."

After accepting the reward, he politely took his leave and descended the mountain.

After Yu Jiang turned and left the courtyard, Yun Xi raised her hand and flicked a wisp of air, which quickly disappeared into the back of the other person's neck.

Yu Jiang subconsciously touched the back of his neck, found nothing unusual, and then continued walking down the mountain.

Just as she was about to leave Lingxue Peak, a small gray snake of the same color silently slipped from her sleeve into a clump of low-grade snow lotus flowers. Yu Jiang seemed oblivious, continuing on his way without stopping. Yun Xi stroked her chin and said to Dian Dian beside her:

"Dian Dian, I'll bring Li Li out in a bit. You take him to catch that little gray snake."

"Yes, Master!"

Dian Dian readily agreed, rubbing its hands together. Although snakes were its natural enemies, with the help of the fourth-tier little panda Li Li, catching the little gray snake would be quite easy.

The little panda Lili settled down in Yunxi's space. The situation here was better than he had imagined. However, Lili knew very well that he could not cultivate or ascend here, so he usually wandered around the space. Except for the places with restrictions, he had explored almost the entire space.

Just as Lili was getting bored, he was sent out of the space.

When Lili saw Yunxi, her eyes widened, and she said in an incredulous tone:
"Human cultivator, your cultivation level has improved again. How long has it been? How did you cultivate?"

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:
"I was lucky enough to consume the bamboo sap left to me by Zhu Sheng, and my cultivation level improved."

Lili subconsciously wagged her thick, reddish-brown tail, then suddenly realized:
"That little bamboo shoot? He's only at the second level, how could that be?"

"Never mind that. First, help me catch a little gray snake that has smuggled itself into Lingxue Peak. It might be in cahoots with the evil cultivators who destroyed your home."

Li Li nodded in agreement and accepted the task. He then took Dian Dian and left Yun Xi's courtyard.

Yunxi activated the formation on Lingxue Peak long after Yujiang left, determined not to let the little gray snake leave Lingxue Peak.

That very night, a fierce battle took place on Lingxue Peak. The two sides fighting were the little gray snake and the little panda Lili, while Yunxi became a spectator.

Dian Dian had already jumped onto Yun Xi's shoulder, hopping around to cheer Li Li on.
"Boss Lili, kill it! Don't let it get away!"

Yunxi asked, amused:
"Dian Dian, when did Li Li become your boss?"

Dian Dian replied matter-of-factly:
"Before, Dian Dian couldn't beat it, so it had to acknowledge it as its boss."

The rule that strength is the ultimate truth also applies to demon cultivators.

At this moment, Lili's sharp nails had already pierced through the gray snake's tail, and the gray snake took the opportunity to coil around Lili's forelimbs and bite down.

With a swift swipe of her claws, Lili severed the snake's tail. Then, with a powerful swing of her other claw, she sent the gray snake flying. The next second, she reappeared where the gray snake had landed and began a new round of attacks.

Although small, this gray snake was quite capable, always managing to avoid its own vital spot. As it fought with Lili, it eventually arrived in front of the protective formation of Lingxue Peak.

Just as Li Li made a lightning-fast move to capture the opponent alive, the gray snake spat out a mouthful of venom at the array's light barrier, instantly corroding a hole and then slithering out.

Yunxi flashed and appeared in front of the restored formation. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and she quickly spread her divine sense to try to find the gray snake's trace. However, the little gray snake seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace.

------

In a cave within the Forget-Worry Mountain, a male cultivator dressed in black finally opened his eyes. His eyes, which had been like snakes with vertical pupils, returned to human eyes after a breath.

Then, somewhat angrily, he smashed the nearby mountain wall, muttering to himself in a low, hoarse voice:
"What a stroke of luck! To have a strange beast by her side, no wonder she's so arrogant! If I weren't suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and unable to leave this place, I would have personally dealt with this woman."

Yunxi was listening to Lili's explanation:
“True Lord, there’s something wrong with that snake. It’s just a puppet with a wisp of a human cultivator’s soul attached to it.”

Yunxi rubbed her fingers and asked:

"Lili, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, that wisp of soul is dark gray, I can't be wrong."

　See you tomorrow~
