Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

Actually, she didn't have any bad intentions. The reason she tried so hard to get some self-defense items was simply to protect herself.

Especially when facing that cheap master, Chu Yunyi had to be even more cautious.

After all, in the novels she had read before, it was not uncommon for substitutes to suffer torment and eventually have their inner cores or spiritual roots extracted.

She didn't want her golden core or spiritual root to be extracted, which is why she was planning how to strengthen her own defense.

Moreover, reality is often more absurd than fiction; who knows what will happen next?

Chu Yunyi was stunned for a while before she came to her senses. Her beautiful eyes were full of suspicion as she looked at Elder Lu Lin, wondering to herself what this elder had come for.

She frowned slightly and parted her lips, as if she wanted to ask for clarification but didn't know where to begin.

At this moment, Elder Lu Lin noticed Chu Yunyi's presence, and the anger on his face subsided slightly, his voice also softening a bit.

"Yunyi is here too! Perfect timing, Yunting, since you refuse to accept Yunyi as your disciple, you'd better offer some treasures to appease this disciple!"

Yunyi is naturally shy and timid. Asking her to become the disciple of a complete stranger is practically making things difficult for her!

Thinking back to how he had stormed over to confront Yun Ting the night before, only to find himself unable to come up with a solution after all that fuss, Elder Lu Lin felt a tightness in his chest.

After a sleepless night, the pent-up frustration only intensified instead of dissipating.

So today he came to visit again, determined to give Yun Ting a good scolding and question him about how he could have let someone steal his disciple away. He was utterly incompetent!

However, when Elder Lu Lin's gaze fell upon Chu Yunyi's charming and lovely face, the anger in his heart was unconsciously suppressed.

After all, it's not appropriate to get angry in front of a young girl.

Therefore, he tried to soften his tone, but his attitude remained firm, determined to get the compensation Chu Yunyi deserved.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, I already told you about this in detail yesterday. To be honest, I didn't expect him to resort to such methods!"

They actually tried to blackmail me using a favor they owed me; I was completely helpless in this situation.

Upon seeing Lu Lin approaching, Yun Ting frowned, a rather troubled expression on his face.

After all, this matter really put him in a difficult position. He couldn't possibly give up his years of hard-earned cultivation for the sake of a disciple, could he?

If he were to lose all his cultivation, wouldn't he be even less qualified to recruit disciples?

This is simply an unsolvable problem!

"Alright, alright, I can't be bothered to listen to your excuses! I've heard that Min Ze, despite his high cultivation level, seems to be a bit dim-witted. We can't let him bully Yun Yi!"

Lu Lin said with a serious expression.

"In terms of strength, he is indeed quite powerful, on par with me. We are both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. But there's no need to worry too much; this person's mind is indeed a bit off."

But so far, he's treated his apprentice quite well, so surely he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for Yunyi?

As Yun Ting spoke, he glanced at Lu Lin with a hint of hesitation.

After listening, Lu Lin nodded thoughtfully, while gently stroking his beard.

However, the way the two of them looked made Chu Yunyi, who was standing to the side, very anxious.
