Outer Sect.

Shady Sophora Peak.

In an exquisite courtyard, there was a small pond in front of the door. There was a kind of water lily that emitted a faint rainbow color. Under the lotus leaves, the Mutant Scaly Koi swam past happily.

The flowers by the pool were brightly colored, and the plants were lush.

Sun Yinglan had her hair tied up into a bun and was wearing a jade hairpin. She was wearing a light yellow dress. After sitting by the zither, her slender fingers plucked the red strings gently.

There were more than 10 outer sect disciples sitting or standing around her. All of them were staring at her with admiration.

After a while, the song ended. Pei Hongnian hurriedly led the applause. “Junior Sister Yinglan’s zither skills have truly reached perfection!”

“How is it just perfection? This song should only exist in the heavens. How many times can you hear it in the mortal world?” The other bootlickers were not willing to fall behind and praised her, one after another. Their flattery was obvious.

Sun Yinglan covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched them fight to win her favor. She looked charming, but she was rather bored. Fourth-stage Qi Refinement, fourth-stage Qi Refinement, and fourth-stage Qi Refinement… Trash! They’re all trash! None of them are really useful! Hmm, why is there a third-stage Qi Refinement? Oh, I remember now. This kid has an uncle in the inner sect who bought me a lot of things previously.

Forget it then. I’ll play along first.

And this second-stage Qi Refinement cultivator. Tsk tsk, his boots are already broken, but he can’t bear to change them. What a poor fellow. He has only given me two low-grade talismans so far. How boring.

However, it’s said that his aptitude is not bad. In the future, he might be able to build his foundation… Forget it, I’ll fish for now. I’ll ask him out for tea alone in two days. I’ll use the inferior-grade spiritual tea that Pei Hongnian gave me two days ago. That tea is really useless. It’s best to use it as a favor.

This fifth-stage Qi Refinement cultivator is not bad, but he’s too old…

Sigh, with my looks and talent, how can these people afford to have me? When will I have the chance to let those real dragons and phoenixes see me?

Sun Yinglan could not be bothered to listen to the flattery of the group of bootlickers. She plucked the strings disinterestedly and thought absent-mindedly, It’s a pity that Pei Hongnian, this piece of trash, is disappointing. I asked him to introduce me to Senior Brother Zheng of the inner sect, but he refused… Serves him right for making talismans for me these days without sleep or rest!

No, even if a cultivator is young, if this continues, even if I marry a good person, I’m afraid I’ll delay my cultivation time. What if I can’t reach the Foundation Establishment realm?

At the thought of this, Sun Yinglan glanced at Pei Hongnian calmly and decided to use both soft and hard methods to force this bastard to introduce a promising cultivator to her.

“Junior Sister Yinglan…” At this moment, a male cultivator came up to her with a fawning expression and said,” I saw a patch of fox-faced peach blossoms on Ghost Willow Peak two days ago. They’re in full bloom now. They look as beautiful as clouds. We…”

Before he could finish, the array formation in the small courtyard suddenly shook!

As the owner, Sun Yinglan immediately sensed it and could not help but be shocked. She formed hand seals and shouted, “Who is being impudent here?”

Hearing this, the male cultivators were agitated and could not wait to show off. “Who dares to be rude to Junior Sister Yinglan? They’re simply courting death!”

Some even took out their weapons on the spot and rushed to the courtyard door aggressively!

“You…” Sun Yinglan frowned slightly. She had many fans in the outer sect, but she had never paid attention to or offended those she could not afford to offend. Therefore, although she was not favored by female cultivators, she had never been attacked.

She was not in a good mood at the moment. Seeing that her protectors had already rushed forward and opened the array formation in the small courtyard, she was about to berate the person. Unexpectedly, when he saw everyone holding blades against him, not only did he not dodge and escape, he even staggered slightly.

He casually pulled out the long sword on his back and waved it casually. Several Red-Eyed Crow Spirits appeared out of thin air and let out a cry. The group of cultivators immediately felt their hands and feet go numb as they fell to the ground!

What a high cultivation level. I’m afraid he’s almost at the Foundation Establishment realm! Sun Yinglan was also attacked. When she fell, even the jade hairpin on her hair bun broke. However, she was not angry. She was secretly shocked. How could I have offended such a senior brother?

She quickly got up and tidied up her dress, followed by her hair. She walked forward gracefully and said timidly, “Senior Brother, is there a misunderstanding? I…”

The cultivator elegantly sheathed his sword and interrupted her with a wave of his hand. He sized her up from head to toe, his gaze lingering on her ample chest for a moment before he said lazily, “You’re Sun Yinglan?”

Sun Yinglan was delighted instead of angry. She became even more timid and said sweetly, “Senior Brother, I am.”

Unexpectedly, the cultivator nodded and did not look at her again. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Pei Hongnian? Is he here?”

Hearing this, everyone present, including Sun Yinglan, could not help but be stunned.

Sun Yinglan subconsciously looked at Pei Hongnian, only to see that this bootlicker was also at a loss. He carefully stepped forward and bowed. “Senior Brother, I’m Pei Hongnian. May I know what instructions you have?”

As Pei Hongnian said this, he secretly looked at Sun Yinglan. Seeing that his junior sister was looking at him in a daze, he knew that she was afraid. He immediately felt a surge of courage and subconsciously moved to stand in front of her. He mustered his courage and said, “Senior Brother, if Junior Sister Yinglan has offended you in any way, please forgive her on account of her youth and ignorance. If there’s any punishment, I’m willing to bear it on behalf of Junior Sister Yinglan.”

Sun Yinglan: “…”

If not for the fact that the senior brother with a powerful cultivation level was in front of her, she would have grabbed Pei Hongnian’s collar and slapped him a few times to wake him up!

“Senior Brother, ignore him.” Sun Yinglan immediately pushed him away and smiled sweetly at the cultivator. She said coquettishly, “I’m actually not familiar with him. It’s just that we’re all at Shady Sophora Peak, so it’s not good to be too cold… Oh right, may I ask why Senior Brother is looking for me?”

As she said the last sentence, she lowered her voice and stole a glance at the cultivator. She rubbed her clothes vigorously, acting like a shy child.

The cultivator looked at her and Pei Hongnian and sneered. “It’s you guys.”

Then his expression darkened. “Get lost. I have something to tell Sun Yinglan in private.”

The male cultivators hesitated.

Especially Pei Hongnian. Before he could protect Sun Yinglan behind him again, Sun Yinglan pushed him out of the door. “Didn’t you hear what this senior brother said? Hurry up and get lost! I’ve always been polite to you, but are you not done?”

Without waiting for him to speak to the others, she activated the array formation and chased everyone out.

Instantly, only she and that cultivator were left in the courtyard. Sun Yinglan suppressed her desire to curry favor with him and put on a coy expression. She said softly, “Senior Brother, may I know your name…”

The cultivator stammered, “My name is Li Zhi. I’m a disciple from Elegance Peak. My cousin, Yin Dongmeng, is a disciple of the inner sect’s Clear River Faction.”

Sun Yinglan’s eyes could not help but light up. Just as she was about to speak, Li Zhi suddenly raised his hand and pulled her into his arms!

This Senior Brother Li is indeed interested in me!

Sun Yinglan could not help but be overjoyed. However, when she saw his hands enter her clothes, she hesitated. Isn’t it too fast?

After all, it was rare to meet a male cultivator with a high cultivation level and an inner sect background. She did not want to be toyed with.

As the saying goes, what’s easy to obtain will not be cherished. Why don’t I pretend to be afraid by pushing him away? Shall I try to make him make some promises or even give him some benefits on the spot?

No, no, no. What if this makes Li Zhi unhappy?

Sun Yinglan hesitated. Her slender hands were on Li Zhi’s arm, and she could not make up her mind.

However, Li Zhi did not stand on ceremony. He sat cross-legged on the spot and pressed her down on his lap, wantonly kneading her graceful curves. As he was enjoying it, he said with a faint smile, “Go find Pei Hongnian’s younger brother, Pei Ling, later. Try to seduce him to cultivate with you… Remember, you must let Pei Hongnian know about this, understand?”

Sun Yinglan, who thought that she had found a rich husband, was speechless.
