75: You can't handle it!

That Elder Liu was quite a "tactful" person.

She quickly brought Lu Yi and his group to Chu Qianqian's Saintess Hall.

Then, she began to arrange rooms for everyone.

Wu Mingyue proactively suggested that she wanted to share a room with her "Senior Sister" Qing'er.

She was still thinking about how she must deepen her relationship with this "Senior Sister."

And while she was at it, she would carefully ask how she felt after "growing" so much in just one night.

Elder Liu naturally agreed to everything.

Subsequently, she arranged a high-quality guest room for each of Lu Yi, Leng Ningshuang, and Ling'er.

However, she "meaningfully" arranged Lu Yi's room to be the one closest to Chu Qianqian's main bedchamber.

This arrangement, filled with implications, made Leng Ningshuang, who was standing to the side, inevitably frown slightly.

But she didn't say anything more.

After all, when a guest follows the host's convenience, it was not appropriate for her to be picky here.

After arranging the accommodation for everyone, that Reception Elder bowed and took her leave.

In the large courtyard, only Lu Yi and his group remained.

"Why exactly did Chu Qianqian ask you to come to the Hehuan Sect?"

Leng Ningshuang looked at Lu Yi and finally asked the question that had been puzzling her.

"I don't know."

Lu Yi shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"..."

Leng Ningshuang clearly had not expected him to answer so bluntly.

She then furrowed her delicate brows and, in a tone full of reproach as if she were an elder, sternly demanded:

"You dared to follow her here without even knowing why?!"

"Don't you know what kind of reputation the Hehuan Sect has? Aren't you afraid that she harbors ulterior motives toward you?"

Hearing Leng Ningshuang's words, Lu Yi couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He looked at her worried expression and teased:

"Ulterior motives? What could she possibly want from me? Is it because I'm handsome? Or... is she craving my body?"

"You...!"

Leng Ningshuang also hadn't expected that Lu Yi's skin could be this thick.

She was so angry at his words that she was momentarily speechless, gritting her teeth and unable to say a word for a long time.

In the end, she could only squeeze a few words through her teeth:

"Unreasonable!"

Afterward, she didn't want to pay any more attention to this "ungrateful" guy.

She turned around angrily and returned to the guest room that the Reception Elder had arranged for her.

Then, with a "bang," she slammed the door shut.

Lu Yi felt quite helpless about this.

Subsequently, he saw that Wu Mingyue had already pulled Qing'er along, ready to go out for a good stroll.

"Wait."

Lu Yi hurriedly stopped them.

He took out two jade pendants engraved with his Divine Soul mark from his Storage Ring and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"You must always wear these jade pendants."

He continued to instruct:

"This way, I can sense your location at any time. If you encounter any emergency, crush it immediately. The Formation within the jade pendant can help you defend yourself for a period of time."

"Wow! Thank you, Revered Master!"

The two little ones nodded hurriedly and then carefully tucked the jade pendants away.

"Go on."

Lu Yi waved his hand:

"But remember, don't wander too far, and don't easily believe what strangers say. Be careful... don't let anyone abduct you."

However, these words were just to scare the two of them.

After all, with his reputation as the Saint Son of Taichu.

It was likely that within the Hehuan Sect, there weren't many blind fools who would dare to provoke them.

"We know!"

Wu Mingyue excitedly pulled Qing'er along, skipping as they ran out.

For a moment, only Lu Yi and Ling'er remained in the large corridor.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ling'er pouted and walked to Lu Yi's side.

She reached out, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said in a tone full of resentment and coquetry:

"Revered Master... you haven't spent any proper time with me for several days."

Hearing this, Lu Yi reached out and flicked her on the forehead.

Then, he put on a serious face and reprimanded her:

"Why are you thinking about these things all day long?"

He looked Ling'er up and down and continued:

"Don't you see how long you've been stuck in the Purple Mansion Realm with your current Realm?"

"Look at me now, I am already in the Undying Realm. The gap in Realm is very real."

"You... really won't be able to handle it now."

After all, Lu Yi had personal experience with the "consequences" brought about by this gap in Realm.

Last time, with only one major Realm difference between himself and Leng Ningshuang, he was almost "drained dry" on the spot.

And now, Ling'er was a full three major Realms behind him!

If he really let go and acted recklessly... the field would eventually be plowed to ruin.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Ling'er lowered her head thoughtfully.

Revered Master's worry was not without reason.

However, she immediately argued:

"But... Dual Cultivation is also Cultivation. Didn't you say, Revered Master, that it helps with improving one's cultivation base?"

"Besides..."

The further she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks:

"At worst... at worst, when the time comes, we can... we can find someone else to bear it with me..."

"Hmm?"

Although her voice was very small, how could it escape Lu Yi's ears?

Hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"She's enlightened! This girl has finally become enlightened!"

Once this door was opened, everything afterward would be much easier to handle!

Just at this moment, Lu Yi also keenly sensed Chu Qianqian's aura.

She was flying back rapidly from the direction of the main hall toward the Saintess Hall.

Presumably, she must have finished talking with her Revered Master.

Lu Yi decided to go find her first and ask her why she had called him all the way to the Hehuan Sect.

It couldn't be that she really just wanted him to come here for sightseeing.

Afterward, he patted Ling'er's head and told her:

"Alright, go back and 'prepare' well. I'll go spend time with you tonight."

"Yes! Revered Master!"

Upon hearing this, Ling'er's previous resentment vanished instantly, and she happily returned to her room.

And Lu Yi walked toward the main hall of the Saintess Hall.

However, just as he approached the main hall, he heard a sound of things being smashed and thrown about from inside.

Following that was Chu Qianqian's somewhat exasperated voice:

"Damn it! I'm so angry!"

"She really thinks too highly of herself!"

"Does she really think she's invincible?! What is she acting so arrogant for?!"
