She looked down at her own jade-white hands, and gently squeezed them, causing the void to slightly twist.

“Brother Shen, thank you for your hospitality.”

…

Three days later, a new disciple arrived at the outer gate of Taiqing Palace.

"My name is Li Ge. My father has a past relationship with Elder Sun from the Medicine Hall."

After changing his appearance, Li Lingge bowed and saluted. At this moment, his appearance could only be considered handsome, but his overall demeanor was still eye-catching.

The deacon in charge of registration glanced at the letter of introduction and said, "Since it's Elder Sun who introduced you, please stay at Bingzi Courtyard. Meet at the lecture hall at noon tomorrow."

As soon as Li Lingge received his identity jade token, he was surrounded by several enthusiastic outer disciples.

"New here? My name is Zhou Dayong!" A sturdy young man patted his shoulder. "Come on, I'll show you the way."

Li Lingge followed Zhou Dayong and suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter at the corner of the corridor.

Two women in palace costumes suddenly appeared in front of him. The woman on the left was wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt, and the one on the right was wearing a light blue long gown. Both of them walked lightly, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air wherever they passed.

"Oh, isn't this Junior Brother Zhou?"

The woman in yellow smiled sweetly, her eyes moving towards Li Lingge.

"This junior brother looks quite unfamiliar."

Zhou Dayong saluted quickly.

"Meet Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Sun."

He turned to Li Lingge and introduced, "These two are Senior Sister Liu Qing and Senior Sister Sun Yuerong."

Li Lingge bowed and lowered his eyes.

"My name is Li Ge. I just entered the outer sect today and would like to meet the two senior sisters."

Sun Yuerong covered her lips with her sleeve and chuckled.

"What a handsome junior brother. Where are you taking him, Junior Brother Zhou?"

"Sister, I'm just about to take Junior Brother Li to his residence in Bingziyuan." Zhou Dayong replied respectfully.

Liu Qing's beautiful eyes turned slightly and she spoke softly.

"Bingziyuan, it's quiet there."

She suddenly stepped forward, took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Li Lingge.

"This calming sachet is for you, Junior Brother. You've just arrived at Taiqing Palace, so it's inevitable that you won't sleep well at night."

Li Lingge was about to refuse, but Zhou Dayong took it for him with a smile.

"Senior Sister Liu's sachet is a valuable item. Junior Brother Li, please thank her."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your generous gift."

Li Lingge had no choice but to take it. The moment his fingertips touched the sachet, he keenly sensed a hint of unusual smell.

Seeing this, Sun Yuerong also took off a jade pendant from her waist.

"Since Senior Sister Liu has given me a gift, I can't be stingy. This Qingxin Pendant can help me calm my mind and concentrate during my training."

Zhou Dayong was stunned watching from the side. These two senior sisters have always been so arrogant, but today they are so fond of the new junior brother?

After a brief greeting, Zhou Dayong took Li Lingge and left.

After walking a distance, Zhou Dayong couldn't help but sigh.

"Junior Brother Li is so lucky. Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Sun are usually not allowed to talk to us outer disciples."

Li Lingge played with the sachet in his hand, nodded thoughtfully, and put the sachet into his sleeve.

"We're here. This is Bingzi Courtyard." Zhou Dayong pushed open the gate. "Junior Brother Li, rest first. I'll take you to the lecture hall tomorrow morning."

As if he had thought of something, he gave another reminder.

"You must be careful at night. Seven or eight fellow disciples have mysteriously disappeared. Some say it's a female cultivator practicing evil techniques who's secretly taking their essence. Lust is a dangerous thing."

Li Lingge showed gratitude: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I will definitely keep it in mind."

After Zhou Dayong left, Li Lingge stood in the yard and took out the sachet from his sleeve. There was a faint black air flowing on the surface of the sachet.

He sneered, and a golden light flashed at his fingertips, and the sachet instantly turned into powder.

"I am anxious."

Many disciples of Taiqing Palace disappeared. The reason he did this was that he came here to fish.

Unexpectedly, the fish took the bait so quickly.
