Jinyun Immortal Venerable led Li Mingke back to his own Yixiantian, the highest peak of the entire immortal sect, which was also the place where Jinyun Immortal Venerable usually cultivated, meditated, and rested.
"Do you like that room in the bamboo forest?" Jinyun Immortal asked the person beside him.
There aren't many habitable places in Yixiantian, so Cuilangxuan is one of the better ones.
Li Mingke had no particular requirements for these things. "Thank you, Master. I like it very much." The bamboo was serene and elegant, and it was indeed a nice place to live.
"I live in Rui'ai Pavilion on the mountaintop. If you need anything, just come to me."
Li Mingke nodded.
"By the way, no outsiders have ever lived in this place before. You are the first, so there may be some areas that I can't take care of. If you want to fill in any furniture or items, just go to the person in charge of finance and put it in my account."
"Yes, Master."
Previously, apart from his fiancée Banjian, no outsiders had ever set foot in Yixiantian, and Jinyun took care of all of Banjian's needs, including food, clothing, and shelter.
After Immortal Venerable Jinyun left, Li Mingke pushed open the door of Cuilang Pavilion.
Sure enough, there was nothing there except a bed and a table.
The moment he stepped inside, the dust kicked up made him cough uncontrollably. Li Mingke covered his mouth and nose, thinking to himself that he was in for a good day—furniture shopping, cleaning…
Hmm, with so many things to do, why don't we ask my cousin Jingyuan for help?
In less than an hour, Wang Jingyuan appeared in front of Li Mingke.
"How about it, bro? Am I fast or not?" Wang Jingyuan proudly raised his head, behind him were all sorts of bags and packages piled up like a mountain.
"Not bad." Li Mingke didn't hold back his praise.
"I was afraid you'd need it urgently, so I just asked the boss to pack up the best set for me. I didn't even have time to pick it out carefully." Wang Jingyuan pouted. "I wonder if the boss has any taste at all!"
The small hill behind him had talismans pasted on it; they were lightening talismans, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to carry so many things.
The deliverymen offered to help carry these things up the mountain, but Wang Jingyuan dared not let them do so.
This narrow passage is the territory of Immortal Venerable Jinyun. Even he mustered up his courage and confirmed it several times before daring to come up. Would he allow an outsider to come? Immortal Venerable Jinyun could blow his head off with a flick of his finger.
Seeing Wang Jingyuan move all the furniture into the house without breaking a sweat, Li Mingke said enviously, "Taoist cultivation is really great!"
"Brother, if you want to become a talisman cultivator, I'll talk to my master, and he'll definitely want you!"
Wang Jingyuan's master is the most powerful talisman cultivator in the entire immortal sect, highly respected and virtuous. Wang Jingyuan is his youngest disciple, and he is also very talented, deeply loved by his master.
"Forget it, I'm already Immortal Venerable Jinyun's disciple. If I were to turn around and join another sect right after arriving, would there still be a place for me in this immortal sect?" Li Mingke waved his hand.
"What a pity, brother. If Immortal Venerable Jinyun treats you badly, you should come and seek refuge with me!"
"Brother, do you think it's appropriate for you to say such things here?" Li Mingke was dumbfounded. Speaking ill of Jinyun Immortal Venerable in the First Line of Heaven, did he really think he couldn't hear him?
"Aaaaaah—" Wang Jingyuan clutched his head and squatted on the ground in agony. "What should I do, brother? Am I going to die?"
Li Mingke sighed and pulled him up. "You should really get rid of this talkative habit of yours. Nobody cares what you say in Fengyu Tower or on your own mountain. But outside, you might say something you don't mean, but someone might take it to heart!"
Wang Jingyuan frowned with a pained expression. "Brother, I think you're right."
The two finally finished arranging the house, making it somewhat habitable. The little figures with talismans pasted on them cleaned the house very thoroughly, and Li Mingke could finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer having to clean it herself.
She exclaimed again, "Being a talisman cultivator is really great!"
Wang Jingyuan sat on a carved wooden chair, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and smacked his lips. "It just won't do without tea. I have some fresh tea leaves; I'll bring them to you in a bit."
“No need for that trouble. I’ll write home and ask them to send things over. Besides tea, send everything else you need, mainly clothes and shoes. Otherwise, it would be too much trouble to make them down the mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingyuan went to see his cousin. He knew that his cousin's clothes were custom-made, and that there were several tailors who made clothes specifically for him.
Indeed, his cousin was thin and weak, and most sizes didn't fit him. Moreover, despite being a man, he was very delicate. Once, the wrong fabric caused him to break out in rashes all over his body and he had to stay in bed for half a month.
So he said, "Alright."
That evening, Wang Jingyuan also left. Li Mingke lay in bed, looking at the curtains above the bed, and had a feeling of being in another world.
She really did become the disciple of Immortal Venerable Jinyun!
Who is Immortal Venerable Jinyun? He is the number one person in the immortal sect! Only Demon Lord Luan Hua can rival him. Who wouldn't bow respectfully and call him "Immortal Venerable" when they see him?
And she successfully hooked up with this powerful and influential person!
She jumped out of bed, rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find pen and ink, and began writing a letter at her desk.
Although her family probably already knew, she still wanted to tell them in person!
She has successfully become an apprentice, and her mother must be very happy. Her mother has always wanted to send her to the side of Immortal Venerable Jinyun, and now that she has succeeded, her mother no longer needs to worry about this matter!
After writing the letter, she pasted a small talisman on the back of the letter, and a paper crane wobbled out of the Emerald Pavilion, flapped its wings, and disappeared in a short while.
In the middle of the night, Li Mingke's letter alarmed the Li family.
"Master, a letter from the young master!"
Li Zengqing's personal maidservant hurriedly knocked on the master's door with a letter in her hand. Li Zengqing was already asleep, but her daughter's letter instantly woke her up.
"Bring it here quickly!"
The maid on night watch lit a lamp and showed the letter to her master.
Li Zengqing read through each word carefully, a smile appearing in his eyes. "I knew Mingke would be capable; she is..."
But what? She stopped talking.
Her husband sat up, resting his chin on her shoulder, his long hair cascading down her shapely figure. "Mingke wrote a letter and came back? It's a pity I was out the day she left and couldn't see her off."
“She might be back in a few days,” Li Zengqing said with a smile. “Your matter is urgent and can’t be delayed. Mingke will understand.”
Wu Xilan, the male head of the Li family, was once the heir apparent of the Prince of Wu. A few days ago, the emperor fell seriously ill, and since the Prince of Wu was the emperor's own brother, he had to rush back, thus missing the chance to see his daughter off.
Therefore, the Li family holds a pivotal position, serving as an important link between the celestial realm and the mortal realm.
"Does the Immortal Venerable Jinyun treat Mingke differently?" Wu Xilan asked.
"No, the attitude of Immortal Venerable Jinyun is quite indifferent, which is actually better."
For some special reasons, Li Zengqing actually hoped that Jinyun Immortal Venerable would not care so much about Li Mingke.
Li Zengqing continued reading the letter, "...The Demon Lord Luan Hua suddenly appeared, seemingly very interested in me, and reached out his hand to me, but Master blocked it..."
Li Zengqing's hand holding the letter trembled. "Demon Lord Luan Hua! What is he doing here!" His voice became shrill. Wu Xilan also frowned. "Don't worry, the Demon Lord didn't do anything. Maybe he just wanted to see what 'Jinyun Immortal Venerable's disciple' looks like."
"Why did he suddenly go to the Immortal Sect? Why is it always such a coincidence? It was the same seventeen years ago! If he hadn't suddenly barged into the Li Mansion, I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have..." She choked up as she spoke.
Her husband comforted her, "Don't be afraid. If the Demon Lord really discovered something, things wouldn't be like this now. We don't need to panic. Write a letter to Mingke and make sure she stays away from the Demon Lord..."
