Chapter 66: Astute as Such

"Fu Chao, you’re going too far!"

Yu Yunyi’s expression turned a bit cold, "You must clean up this mess for Li Yunjing! Ensure his absolute safety!"

"Hehe! Why should I?"

Fu Chao was not afraid of Yu Yunyi at all, and sneered, "He’s not my underling, why should I help? You’re close to him, why don’t you use the power of the Yu Family to protect him?"

"Are you afraid of Wei Henian? Or are you afraid the Yu Family’s connections aren’t worth spending?"

"You..."

Fu Chao’s words made Yu Yunyi’s pretty face flush with anger.

This good-for-nothing playboy actually guessed her thoughts. It seemed everyone had underestimated Fu Chao!

Indeed, Yu Yunyi did not want to completely fall out with Wei Henian!

Wei Henian didn’t get along with the Fu Family, and the Yu Family had no reason to get involved and offend Wei Henian!

This wasn’t about strength, but about something completely unrelated!

Also, having the Yu Family handle this matter for Li Yunjing would not only cost a sum, but also incur a favor!

This was something Yu Yunyi did not want either.

As of now, Li Yunjing’s displayed potential was not enough for Yu Yunyi to go all out to win him over.

Therefore, using Fu Chao’s power to help Li Yunjing solve a problem, and earning a favor herself, was the perfect plan.

Who would have thought this child of a despised family would have such a clever side!

This caught Yu Yunyi off guard.

"I see..."

Li Yunjing’s heart sank. It was only now that he realized his relationship with the Yu Family wasn’t as close as he thought.

Li Yunjing’s face remained unchanged, showing no emotion.

Right now, he still needed to rely on Yu Yunyi, so he naturally couldn’t let her see his suspicion and distance their relationship.

"Hmm."

Yu Yunyi glanced at Li Yunjing unnoticeably and only felt relieved when she saw his calm expression.

"Fu Chao, your big brother has already agreed to this and said you should handle it!"

Yu Yunyi smiled coldly, dropping a bombshell.

"What? My big brother? Is that true?"

Fu Chao was shocked; he didn’t expect that this woman had quietly set a trap for him.

When Big Brother spoke, he had to handle even the biggest things!

In the Fu Family, Fu Hengkong was second only to the ancestors!

Even the head of the clan had to smile and consult with Fu Hengkong on everything.

Fu Chao naturally did not dare defy his big brother’s wishes!

"What are you saying? Who would dare speak such words without Fu Big Brother’s knowledge?"

Yu Yunyi smiled meaningfully, "See if you comply?"

"Sigh! True! Who would dare impersonate my big brother to give orders?"

Fu Chao nodded in agreement. This was easy to confirm; as soon as his big brother returned, he could ask and know the truth immediately.

Anyone who dared to mess with Fu Hengkong was courting death!

Even sect rules wouldn’t save them!

That was the power of the name Fu Hengkong!

"Alright then! Kid, you are lucky! Since my big brother has spoken, I will go to the ’Law Enforcement Hall’ and talk to Zhong Hongtai ahead of time. The people in the ’Law Enforcement Hall’ will definitely side with you!"

Fu Chao sighed, looked at Li Yunjing, and said again, "As for the matter with Wei Henian, I won’t intervene; otherwise, you’ll die even worse."

"Thank you, Young Master Fu. I will remember this favor and repay it in the future!"

Li Yunjing said solemnly.

"Hehe... Repay? With what, you?"

Fu Chao shook his head slightly, with a look of disbelief.

A servant disciple at the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation Realm, what could he possibly repay?

Counting on such a person, he might as well find a piece of tofu and smash himself dead!

As the young master of the Fu Family, how could he continue to mingle in the Cultivation Realm?

"Alright! The matter is resolved, see them out!"

Having no further desire to speak with Yu Yunyi and Li Yunjing, Fu Chao started to usher them out.

These two troublemakers never brought anything good whenever they showed up!

He was sick and tired of dealing with them.

"Fu Chao, see you next time!"

Yu Yunyi smiled lightly, leading Li Yunjing out.

"Li Yunjing, don’t listen to Fu Chao’s nonsense. This time, asking for his help, I did intend to use him. However, even if he doesn’t act, I would still mobilize the Yu Family to help you with this matter!"

Walking down the mountain, Yu Yunyi suddenly spoke.

"Miss! Of course, I won’t listen to Fu Chao’s provocations! Not to mention the two times you and the Yu Family helped me, even before I entered the sect, if it weren’t for you saving my life, I would have long been dead. How would I have today?"

Li Yunjing smiled brightly, seeming to believe every word Yu Yunyi said.

"I owe the kindness from you and the Yu Family. I don’t know if I can repay it in the future; how could I listen to Fu Chao’s nonsense?"

Li Yunjing added.

"Hehe, that’s better! Let’s go! I’ll activate the teleportation array and send you back to ’Qiongze Peak’. Tomorrow, you go to the ’Miscellaneous Hall’ to submit your task and report to the sect. I’ll be there to ensure everything goes smoothly for you!"

Yu Yunyi nodded, very satisfied with Li Yunjing’s attitude.

"Thank you, Miss!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed. With the Yu Family backing him up, if anyone in the ’Miscellaneous Hall’ dared to make things difficult for him, they would have to think twice.

When Li Yunjing appeared at ’Qiongze Peak’, many were shocked.

Hou Boyan was in disbelief, asking, "Brother Li, you actually returned alive! I thought this time would be our last farewell!"

"Peh! Peh! Peh!"

Hearing Hou Boyan’s words, Li Yunjing was speechless, and loudly said, "Old Hou, what are you talking about? Something happening to me? Just wait and see tomorrow!"

"Ah?"

Hou Boyan’s mouth gaped wide in surprise, not knowing where Li Yunjing’s confidence came from.

Ye Long’s plot was something Hou Boyan witnessed firsthand; had Li Yunjing really disrupted it?

"Right! Where’s Ma Xingyuan? That fat guy didn’t come to greet me seeing I’m back?"

Li Yunjing looked around, realizing there was one person missing, and asked urgently.

Did the fat guy get implicated because of him?

"Brother Li, Brother Ma is fine. He’s advanced to the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation and is now reporting to the Outer Sect!"

Hou Boyan knew the relationship between Ma Xingyuan and Li Yunjing and quickly explained, knowing this was Li Yunjing’s concern for a friend.

"Oh? That’s good news! Alright! I’m going back to cultivate. I need to work harder and get to the Outer Sect soon!"

Hearing Ma Xingyuan was fine, Li Yunjing nodded, chatted briefly, and said goodbye to Hou Boyan, returning to his courtyard.

After half a month away, the entire courtyard was clean and tidy, clearly having been cleaned. This warmed Li Yunjing’s heart.

Who else could it be but the fat guy?

After checking his place, he found nothing amiss.
