“Brother, are you really not going?”
In the early morning mountain air, a faint mist floated.
Li Muyang stood on the ridge, holding a large water bucket, performing the Cloud and Rain Technique.
The misty water vapor danced above the spiritual field, dropping a gentle drizzle.
A young girl in a light green dress carried a food box behind Li Muyang
“Sister Ning agreed to go down the mountain with today~”
“She knows that I might invite you to join us, yet she agreed to go down the mountain with . I believe with your intelligence, brother, you can surely grasp the deeper aning behind this, right?”
Li Yuechan spoke with a tempting tone.
Li Muyang, who was holding the water bucket and performing the minor Cloud and Rain Technique, glanced at her.
He had almost forgotten when they started talking, but now the siblings managed to exchange a few words every day during the food delivery.
However, Li Yuechan usually cos with the food box at dusk, chats with Li Muyang for a bit, and then leaves.
Today, she ca over early in the morning.
As soon as Li Muyang got up and finished his morning routine, he began to water the spiritual field.
That’s when the girl in the pretty dress appeared, hopping along the mountain path.
She said she was going to Yunxiao City to play today and might co back late in the evening, so she delivered today’s als in advance, telling Li Muyang to heat them up himself for dinner.
By the way, the girl also ntioned that her companion for the day was the young Miss from the Ning family of Jiuyuan City.
—The goddess whom the original ‘Licking Dog’ had loved in vain.
If the original Li Muyang had heard that Miss Ning was going, he would have been unable to resist and would have imdiately wanted to go.
But Li Muyang remained calm and indifferent: “I’ve said it before, I’m no longer interested in won.”
“The one who admired Miss Ning was the Li Muyang of the past. The Li Muyang of now only wishes to cultivate diligently.”
“You all go and have fun. Don’t worry about .”
Li Muyang’s deanor was serene, and his tone was composed like that of a monk who had seen through worldly matters.
Hearing his response, Li Yuechan, who was carrying the food box, said, “That’s a sha. I thought you hadn’t approached Miss Ning for so many days because you were playing hard to get.”
“I didn’t expect that you really lost interest in her… people said that Miss Ning is very talented and has a great chance of being directly admitted into the Inner Sect.”
“It’s such a waste for you to give up on her now, especially since it’s rare for Miss Ning to take the initiative to accommodate you…”
The girl sighed with regret, still trying to persuade Li Muyang.
Li Muyang was sowhat surprised to hear this news.
Indeed, every year there are so exceptionally talented individuals who are favored by the sect and directly promoted to the Inner Sect.
But for Miss Ning to have such talent…
Li Muyang shook his head: “Then I have even more reason not to go.”
“She is soone with the potential to rise to the Inner Sect, a remarkable person who will sooner or later soar to great heights.”
“And I am just a Servant Disciple of the Outer Sect, insignificant and weak.”
“With such a vast difference between us, it would only bring endless trouble even if I could win Miss Ning’s heart.”
“So it’s better to keep our distance and let everyone be well on their own way.”
In the mories of his forr self, Miss Ning was ethereally beautiful, understanding, and gentle as water, truly a peerless woman in this world.
But after Li Muyang detached himself from the ‘Licking Dog’ filter of his forr self and reviewed his mories, it was clear that she was a green tea b*tch with high emotional intelligence who had played the pitiful ‘Licking Dog’ in her hands and drained all his money.
Li Muyang wanted to warn his younger sister not to get too close to Miss Ning and such green tea types and to be careful not to be tricked.
However, considering that their relationship wasn’t close enough for him to give advice or warnings, Li Muyang closed his mouth and continued to perform the Cloud and Rain Technique on the spiritual field, choosing to remain silent.
Seeing Li Muyang’s firm attitude, the girl sighed and said, “Alright then, I was hoping to go to Yunxiao City with you.”
“I’m leaving now, brother. I’ve left the food at your door…”
After putting down the food box, the girl waved from afar.
Li Muyang, standing in the field, nodded in response.
But not long after the girl left, she suddenly turned back and said,
“By the way, brother, your sudden disinterest in Miss Ning… could it be because you’ve t another girl you like more?”
The girl in the morning light suddenly asked this question.
Li Muyang was taken aback and hadn’t yet figured out how to respond.
However, the girl had already run off, seemingly convinced of her own conclusion.
“Definitely! Brother, you’re such a fickle lover, always chasing after the new and getting tired of the old!”
“I’ll tell Ning family’s eldest daugther that you’ve fallen for soone else!”
The girl ran off excitedly, disappearing on the mountain path.
Li Muyang watched her retreating figure and shook his head.
This little girl… Although she has high emotional intelligence and a good temperant, she’s still sowhat childish.
As for whether Miss Ning will get angry after hearing her exaggerated story… You’re angry at Jiuyuan City’s Li Muyang, so what does that have to do with , the transmigrator Li Muyang?
Li Muyang turned back to continue using the Cloud and Rain Technique to water the spiritual field.
Only by ensuring the spiritual rain irrigation more than twice a day can the spirit field maintain its growth montum.
After the rain application, Li Muyang could continue playing gas.
Things in reality may not always be true, but the gains in a ga are certainly real.
Indeed, I should stick to gaming…
……
anwhile, at the Demon Refining Sect’s Outer Sect ferry dock, the girl Li Yuechan dressed in her prettiest skirt and had already t the Ning family’s elder daughter who was waiting there.
At the bustling ferry dock, Ning Wan’er from Jiuyuan City’s Ning residence was surprised to see Li Yuechan arriving alone.
“Yuechan, you… ca by yourself?”
Ning Wan’er looked puzzled.
She had thought that the young master from the Li residence would also accompany her.
Amidst the crowd, Li Yuechan hurried over to Ning Wan’er and pulled her onto the soon-to-depart flying boat.
Li Yuechan sighed as the two enchantingly beautiful girls stood on the deck, feeling the mountain breeze.
“Don’t ntion it, my brother refused to co.”
“Who knows what kind of soul-bewitching potion the sect has given him, now he’s only thinking about cultivation. He used to love joining in the fun, and he definitely wouldn’t miss a chance to play in Yunxiao City.”
“Especially with sister Ning joining.”
As she spoke, Li Yuechan winked at Ning Wan’er and said with a mischievous smile,
“Sister Ning, you don’t think my brother has fallen for soone else, do you? That he’s t a girl he likes more in the sect?”
Li Yuechan’s last question was incredibly abrupt, even sowhat impolite.
—Who asks such a question directly?
And so unexpectedly…
Ning Wan’er was taken aback, then smiled.
“The Demon Refining Sect is a major demonic sect, and there are countless outstanding talents within. It’s not strange for Young Master Li to have found soone he likes.”
Facing Li Yuechan’s probing and teasing words, Ning Wan’er responded calmly, her tone devoid of any emotional ripples.
She didn’t particularly dislike the young master from the Li residence, but she didn’t particularly like him either.
He was indeed generous, and Ning Wan’er conveniently accepted many favors without even provoking him.
But to actually marry this man?
Ning Wan’er had never entertained such a thought.
The Li family held so power and status in Jiuyuan City.
Although the Li family couldn’t compare to the Ning family with its many years of scholarly tradition in the eyes of outsiders, now the Ning family only had a large ancestral house left, with most of the family wealth mortgaged and lost by father.
The current Ning residence seed grand but struggled even with the monthly expenses.
Although the Li family rose to prominence only in this generation with Li Damu, they were trusted by the city lord, had real power and military force, and had a broad future.
Her mother had indeed advised her to marry Li Muyang, thinking that being part of the Li Family would be beneficial for the family.
However, Ning Wan’er had no such interest. She had never considered marriage.
Although her parents had long been keen on marrying her off to a good family to gain so benefits, Ning Wan’er saw the idea of trading herself for a hefty dowry as the most inferior and laughable form of investnt.
Her worth as Ning Wan’er was not to be soone’s wife.
In this world of cultivation, a person’s potential and hope held boundless possibilities.
Her parents might be shortsighted, but she was determined not to follow in their foolish footsteps.
The young master of the Li household, Li Muyang, was nothing more than a stepping stone for her to climb higher.
Thanks to his generous spending, she had quietly accumulated so spiritual items that would aid her cultivation.
She was sure to progress faster than ordinary people once she began her practice.
Not to ntion, she now seed to have a direct opportunity to enter the Inner Sect. With that, the young master of the Li family from the remote Jiuyuan City would beco even less significant to her.
But as for the young miss of the Li household…
Ning Wan’er looked at Li Yuechan’s innocent and pure smile and responded with a gentle smile of her own.
“Next ti you have a chance, Yuechan, you might want to ask your brother if he truly has soone he likes.”
The young miss of the Li household Li Yuechan seed naive and lively, but Ning Wan’er felt that she was sowhat tricky to deal with.
Compared to her simple-minded brother, this sixteen-year-old girl was much more difficult to handle.
Ning Wan’er said with a smile, “If he really ets soone he likes, then perhaps we could help him out.”
Ning Wan’er spoke in a gentle tone, appearing to be a caring older sister even though she was the younger one.
Even though everyone in Jiuyuan City knew that Li Muyang had once fancied her—she effortlessly distanced herself from the situation with these words.
Li Yuechan blinked after hearing this and then said with a giggly smile, “If Sister Ning is willing to help, that would be wonderful. You’re so smart, Sister Ning. If you help, my brother will surely be very happy.”
The girl with the innocent smile was like a delicate flower swaying in the wind.
Ning Wan’er also smiled back, replying, “We’re all from the sa town, so it’s only right for us to look out for each other.”
Amidst the mountain breeze as the flying boat set sail, the two young girls exchanged glances and then smiled at each other.
At that mont, their smiles seed sowhat similar.
The sowhat awkward and strange topic ca to a sudden end after this simple probe.
They both laughed and talked about the legends and interesting stories of Yunxiao City as if no one had ever ntioned Li Muyang.
