Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 227 Got taken advantage of
"Fellow Daoist Li, you have truly caused me a great deal of trouble!"

After Fang Yiyun left, the middle-aged scholar smiled wryly and looked at Li Yunjing and Lü Ruoxi.

The arrogance of a scholar was gone from his face; instead, he wore an expression that said, "I'm in big trouble," as if he wanted to get some compensation from Li Yunjing.

Of course, this compensation is not in kind, but in the form of goodwill!

After all, he indirectly saved Li Yunjing and Lü Ruoxi once.

Given the promising future of Li Yunjing and Lü Ruoxi, it's certainly worthwhile for this scholar to ask for such a favor.

"You're not coming down yet?"

Seeing the middle-aged scholar asking him a question, Li Yunjing looked at Lü Ruoxi, who was still clinging to him, and felt a headache coming on.

He gently lifted Lü Ruoxi's slender waist and separated her from his body.

Savoring the soft touch, Li Yunjing stood up, looked at the middle-aged scholar, and laughed, "Manager, this has nothing to do with me! He's a madman! And at 'Donghua Tower,' you certainly have an obligation to protect the safety of us guests."

If a middle-aged scholar asked for a bribe or offered some material benefit, Li Yunjing would immediately agree.

As for personal relationships, Li Yunjing was unwilling to give them up.

It should be noted that the middle-aged scholar possessed extremely strong combat power and a very high cultivation level, making him a notable figure among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If someone like that were to ask for help or demand repayment of a favor, it would be a huge problem, and Li Yunjing would have to pay a heavy price to repay it.

Li Yunjing resolutely refused to accept such a favor.

Therefore, Li Yunjing attributed the matter to the "Donghualou" principle of protecting its guests.

Since it's official business, it must be handled strictly according to the rules; there's no room for personal feelings.

"Alright! Enjoy your meal! I will ensure the safety of all guests!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing wasn't falling for the trap, the middle-aged scholar cursed under his breath, "Little fox," and shook his head, adding one last word of caution: "The Fang family is not to be trifled with either."

Then he led the people from "Donghualou" out of the private room.

"Thank you for reminding!"

Li Yunjing responded with a smile, but after the door closed, he looked at Lü Ruoxi with a hesitant expression.

To be honest, Li Yunjing is having a bit of a headache right now.

"What? You just hugged and kissed me, are you going to deny it now?"

Looking at Li Yunjing with a half-smile, Lü Ruoxi once again threw herself into his arms.

"Forehead……"

Before Li Yunjing could explain anything, Lü Ruoxi's sexy red lips were already pressed against Li Yunjing's lips.

A warm, slippery little snake slithered into Li Yunjing's mouth, which greatly surprised him.

However, with a beautiful woman in his arms, the extremely stimulating feeling filled Li Yunjing's senses, leaving him no room for thought.

Like two blazing flames, Li Yunjing responded passionately. After a long while, when he and Lü Ruoxi were having difficulty breathing, they reluctantly parted ways.

Looking at the stunning beauty reflected in the undulating snow-capped peaks, Li Yunjing sighed and asked, "Are you serious or just faking it?"

Even now, Li Yunjing couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Lü Ruoxi's pretty face turned pale with anger, and her bright eyes welled up with tears.

"Don't cry! What are you doing?"

Li Yunjing was completely speechless and seemed somewhat at a loss.

It felt like he was bullying her, but the key point was that Li Yunjing really didn't feel like he had gained much advantage!

Don't let yourself become like a bad person, okay?

Li Yunjing felt extremely wronged.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm a promiscuous person? No man has ever touched me except you!"

Lu Ruoxi looked at Li Yunjing with a resentful expression and said softly.

"It's over!"

Seeing Lü Ruoxi like this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but shudder.

It seems like we can't shake them off?

"I'm not a good person! I have a Daoist partner, and I also have two concubines outside."

"Some things just have to be said," Li Yunjing said bluntly.

"I know everything! You still have an ambiguous relationship with Liu Ruyan of 'Yanyu Tower,' and what about that Feng Xueting you recruited? Did you have any fun with her? It seems that during your time at 'The Scripture Pavilion,' your two beautiful female team members were quite interested in you! And..."

Before Li Yunjing could finish speaking, Lü Ruoxi added.

Listening to what Lü Ruoxi kept saying, Li Yunjing blushed. He hadn't expected that this woman, Lü Ruoxi, had schemed against him so much, even uncovering such a deeply hidden relationship.

This made Li Yunjing somewhat uncomfortable.

Is this guy a spy?

Even minor ambiguous relationships that haven't even developed further are being investigated by Lü Ruoxi?

What is there about me that Lü Ruoxi doesn't know?
The feeling of being stripped naked was incredibly embarrassing for Li Yunjing. But what could he do now, after kissing and touching Lü Ruoxi so much?
It's all that bastard Fang Yiyun's fault. He threatened me as soon as he arrived, which angered me, and I used Lü Ruoxi to provoke him.

Now, Lü Ruoxi has taken the opportunity to cling to him.

It's also my own fault for being so weak. I couldn't control my desires in front of Lü Ruoxi, and I took advantage of her. No matter what, I can't explain it.

Now, Li Yunjing is truly at a loss and doesn't know how to deal with this complicated relationship.

Deep down, Li Yunjing didn't believe he had truly gotten his hands on Lü Ruoxi.

In his heart, apart from Xing'er and Yue'er, he had no other woman under his control, including Yu Yunyi.

"I don't care! From now on, I'm yours! I'll tell everyone I meet that I'm one of your Daoist partners. If you ever abandon me after taking advantage of me, I'll cripple you!"

As she spoke, Lü Ruoxi reached out and grabbed Li Yunjing's penis.

"Holy crap! This crazy woman!"

Li Yunjing never expected such a move. Before he knew it, he was caught off guard and immediately put under someone's control, leaving him unable to move.

"Let go! Let go! You'll hurt yourself!"

Li Yunjing grimaced; this woman really had no sense of proportion!
"Hmph! Then tell me, do you agree or not!"

Having grasped Li Yunjing's weakness, feeling its burning heat like a hot stick, Lü Ruoxi's pretty face turned red, but even so, she still did not let go.

Lu Ruoxi still spoke in a bad mood, but seeing that Li Yunjing was in some pain, her delicate hand loosened its grip a little.

Seeing that Lü Ruoxi loosened her grip, Li Yunjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I need to talk to Yu Yunyi about this first." Seeing that Lü Ruoxi was still looking at him, wanting to know what he thought, Li Yunjing was a little helpless, but still insisted on his idea.

Since Yu Yunyi is now his Daoist partner, he naturally has the right to make decisions regarding the internal affairs of the Li family. No matter who joins the family, they must obtain Yu Yunyi's approval.

"Sigh... Fine then! You can't force me to agree! I'm yours no matter what! If you bully me, I'll tell my teacher and have him castrate you!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's resolute attitude, Lü Ruoxi had no choice but to back down, though she still had a fierce look on her face.

"Cough cough..."

Li Yunjing was truly at his wit's end with this witch; she would say anything and everything.

"By the way! Sit down, we need to talk about something important!"

Li Yunjing was afraid of Lü Ruoxi, so he changed the subject and said in a serious tone.

"cut……"

Seeing Li Yunjing's gentlemanly demeanor, Lü Ruoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You weren't acting like a gentleman when you were kissing and touching me earlier."

However, Lü Ruoxi obediently sat down.

Lu Ruoxi was sitting almost right next to Li Yunjing.

No matter which of them moves, they can touch the other's body.

Feeling the persistent and alluring little devil, Li Yunjing was helpless.

Recently, for some reason, Li Yunjing has been being pursued by these women, which puts him in a very difficult position!
"By the way, do you know about the sect's plan this time?"

No longer bringing up topics that would embarrass Li Yunjing, he remained concerned about the sect's current plans and the situation at the front lines, hoping to obtain some inside information from Lü Ruoxi.

"I know a little bit! Not to mention me, even my teacher isn't qualified to know the whole plan."

When asked by someone she likes, Lü Ruoxi naturally answers all her questions without reservation.

Seeing that Li Yunjing was listening attentively, Lü Ruoxi thought for a moment and then said, "I'll tell you some things that my teacher told me."

"This operation was a battle plan devised by the Sect Master and several Supreme Elders."

"The target seems to be to crush several hostile forces on the main battlefield!"

"As for who exactly is being attacked, how many troops are being deployed, how many Golden Core Realm experts, and how many Nascent Soul Realm experts are participating in the battle, that remains unknown."

"Anyway, all I know from my teacher is that this is a large-scale decisive battle."

As she finished speaking, a hint of worry appeared on Lü Ruoxi's face. She looked at Li Yunjing and said softly, "Once you get to the battlefield, you must not be reckless! Just focus on completing your trial mission. After you finish, immediately apply to return to the sect to complete the assessment! Do not delay and stay on the battlefield to fight against other forces."

"Yes! I know! I haven't cultivated any Foundation Establishment techniques yet, so I'm only a little stronger than when I was in the Qi Refining stage. I know my own limitations!"

Seeing Lü Ruoxi's concerned expression, Li Yunjing felt a pang of bittersweet happiness.

Is this fairy really playing games with me?
"I don't care! If you're genuine, I'll be even more genuine! If you're fake, I'll be fake too! If you're with me and still flirting with other men, I won't consider you my woman anymore."

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

"I'll be careful! Don't worry! Oh, and there's something for you! With Fu Chao gone, I've personally planned the outer sect competition next spring. You and Yunyi will be in charge of the overall situation."

Since he had already taken advantage of Lü Ruoxi, and Li Yunjing wasn't one to turn his back on her, he decided to bring Lü Ruoxi in so they could make some spirit stones together.

According to his previous plan, he wouldn't care about such things; whoever Yu Yunyi wanted to bring in was fine with him.

However, because of Lü Ruoxi, a change must be made.

"Yes! I will secure the benefits for you from the outer sect competition."

After listening to Li Yunjing's words, Lü Ruoxi nodded firmly, looking like she was fully committed to helping Li Yunjing.

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing sighed helplessly, "I wanted to give you some benefits, not for you to waste your energy getting involved in these messy, trivial matters!"
Seeing Lü Ruoxi like this, it was no use trying to persuade her.

Since that's the case, Li Yunjing didn't say anything more.

"Oh, right! This is a forbidden artifact my teacher gave me. Take it for protection!"

As she spoke, Lü Ruoxi raised her arm and removed a jade pendant from Ruyu's neck.

The pendant is carved with teardrop shapes, crystal clear and shimmering with light.

Li Yunjing immediately recognized the immense energy contained within and instinctively sensed a deadly threat.

It seems that if this jade pendant is broken, the most terrible thing will happen.

Is this Lü Ruoxi's trump card?

Li Yunjing did not take the pendant, but looked at Lü Ruoxi and asked solemnly, "What is this?"

"This contains a clone of my master! Even an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would be utterly destroyed by my master's clone!"

Looking at the string of jade pendants in her hand, Lü Ruoxi said proudly.

"No! It's too precious! This is something your teacher gave you to save your life, I can't accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing quickly refused, saying that the item was too valuable.

How could a grown man like him want such a forbidden weapon?

Especially since this item belongs to Lü Ruoxi, a woman who admires him!

Li Yunjing is somewhat of a chauvinist.

He didn't really want to live a life relying on women.

Yu Yunyi had helped him so much, and Li Yunjing promptly gifted her an upgraded "Qingyun Boat." This was one of the ways he didn't want to keep taking advantage of Yu Yunyi.

"What are you saying! We're together, our fates are intertwined, why make such a distinction?"

Seeing that Li Yunjing refused directly, Lü Ruoxi chuckled and, without any hesitation, stood up in front of Li Yunjing and personally put the necklace around his neck.

Feeling Lu Ruoxi's body temperature and scent on the jade pendant, Li Yunjing looked at Lu Ruoxi with a very complicated expression.

"You...I will not let you down!"

After a long while, Li Yunjing felt a tremor in his heart, and all his words were reduced to this one sentence.

He held Lü Ruoxi tightly in his arms.

At this moment, Li Yunjing completely abandoned his doubts about Lü Ruoxi.

If such an important forbidden artifact can be given away, what reason does Li Yunjing have to say that others are just playing with him or making fun of him?
A powerful expert at the Golden Core Realm crafted a clone for his disciple to protect his life. Such a forbidden artifact is even more precious than a treasure artifact!
Such a treasure is more valuable than everything Li Yunjing owns combined, and cannot be refused.

Li Yunjing was deeply moved, and also felt a sense of guilt towards Lü Ruoxi.

Li Yunjing was wrong before!

Lü Ruoxi's feelings for herself are genuine.
