The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

After visiting Wen Fuyue and her disciples, Lu Yiguang and his two companions returned to their residence to change their clothes. Then, with Ji Heng's help, they "openly and legitimately" put the spirit stones into the outer pavilion.

Due to yesterday's turmoil, there were very few visitors to the cabinet, especially at night.

Lu Yiguang and his two companions were initially a little reserved, afraid that their identities would be recognized by disciples from other sects.

However, they were soon captivated by the books in the outer cabinet, and became completely engrossed in reading them.

The Wuji Dao Sect is a miscellaneous sect, with members having expertise in various weapon styles.

The Lingwei Sect keeps its sword manuals in its inner cabinet but does not open them to the public. Other techniques, such as spear and sword skills, are openly displayed in the outer cabinet.

Lu Yiguang and Qin Zhen entered the outer pavilion as if entering a treasure mountain. While looking around, they kept in mind the sect leader's instruction to find a way to make copies of the valuable books and bring them back to the sect.

However, if it's one, two, or three portions, they can still memorize them using their spiritual sense.

The books in the outer cabinet are as vast as the ocean; even if their minds were to burst, they couldn't take them all with them.

Fortunately, the money paid by the outer cabinet is limited to a certain number of people, not a certain time.

After a night of reading, Lu Yiguang and his two companions were not sleepy at all.

She looked up at the faint light of dawn and said to Qin Zhen and Li Tanqian, "When I get to the gate, I'll ask the guard to pass on a message to Young City Lord Ji, telling her that we won't be going back for the time being."

While others receive one spirit stone each, they each receive ten thousand spirit stones; they're determined to get their money's worth.

Lu Yiguang and the other two calculated that the Bigu Pills they had on them would be enough for them to stay in the outer pavilion for about half a year.

As for communicating with the sect, with Ji Heng's help, there shouldn't be any problems.

Lu Yiguang got up, walked to the outer pavilion door, and called out to the guards.

She dared not step beyond the doorway, for fear that if she went in or out, the 20,000 spirit stones would be gone.

The guards, having already received instructions from Ji Heng, immediately approached Lu Yiguang upon seeing him.

Just as Lu Yiguang was about to speak, his gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked into the distance.

As dawn broke, a rain of swords fell like silk, and a beautiful female cultivator in white robes arrived on her sword.

The female cultivator had a cold demeanor, and one could recognize her identity with just one glance.

Moreover, a year ago, they had personally witnessed the other side establish an outer cabinet!

The guard was startled and quickly called to his companion, "Quickly, go and fetch the young city lord! The Lingwei Sect has arrived!"

At this moment, Lu Yiguang no longer cared about spirit stones. She flew forward, but the spirit sword engraved with phoenixes and luan birds directly avoided her.

The sword spirit on the sword ignored her completely, and directly forced its way to the storage box at the entrance of the outer pavilion where spirit stones were deposited. After taking all the spirit stones from inside, it turned around and flew out of the Immortal Guiding City.

Lu Yiguang felt a pang of unease and chased after the Phoenix Sword Spirit, calling out, "Senior! Senior! May I have a word to say?"

The spirit of the Phoenix Sword showed no sign of stopping.

Lu Yiguang looked down and saw the crowds in the city gradually starting to move.

If we hesitate any longer, this hard-won opportunity will slip away again!

Moreover, it wasn't a secret that their sect elders had offended the Lingwei Sect.

"I am Lu Yiguang, a disciple of the Wuji Dao Sect! It was our sect elders who offended your sect out of ignorance. Please give us a chance to clear up the misunderstanding!"

The Phoenix Sword Spirit was very cunning; it only stopped flying after Lu Yiguang apologized in public.

Seeing that there was a chance, Lu Yiguang quickly said, "I have also spoken to Fellow Daoist Yun Yici about this matter. She is currently in the city and can vouch for me."

"Why don't we invite this senior to the Xie residence as a guest?"

Yun Yici was secretly manipulating Chaofeng, originally thinking that it would take some effort to lure Lu Yiguang to the Xie family mansion.

I didn't expect her to be so cooperative, which saved me a lot of trouble.

Upon seeing Lu Yiguang again, Yun Yici began to understand Shen Huaichuan's words.

Lu Yiguang will be the next sect leader of Wuji Dao Sect. She is strong and willful, and always takes the lead in any situation.

He adheres to his principles, is tough and fierce, yet also has the courage to admit his mistakes; his character is impeccable.

Her junior brothers and sisters believed in her, admired her, respected her, and were willing to follow her.

Shen Huaichuan meant that she had a kind heart, but lacked the heart of a strong person.

When Yun Yici looked at Lu Yiguang again, she suddenly felt that the woman was radiating light, a light that emanated from the depths of her soul.

Lu Yiguang knocked on the Xie family's door early in the morning and saw Yun Yici grinning foolishly at her.

She was startled, but when she remembered her agreement with the sword spirit of the Lingwei Sect, her eyebrows furrowed, and she waved her hand in front of Yun Yici: "What are you doing? Grinning like a lecher."

"If you weren't a woman, you would definitely have gotten a beating from me today."

Yun Yici knew why Lu Yiguang had come, but she pretended not to know.

She smiled and said, "There were some things I couldn't understand before, but after meeting Fellow Daoist Lu, I suddenly had an epiphany."

“I am not as good as Fellow Daoist Lu. If possible, I am willing to remove the magic artifact that protects against strange fire, and we can have a fair competition.”

These words startled Lu Yiguang, who was hoping that Yun Yici would say something good about her later!

"I was just joking when I said I'd hit you, Fellow Daoist Yun, please don't take it to heart."

Lu Yiguang was genuinely a little scared; she was just making a casual remark.

There's no need to lift a finger. If Yun Yici just lies down on the ground, when the Lingwei Sect people see this, it will only add fuel to the fire and make the feud even worse.

Lu Yiguang wished he could kneel down and beg this little darling to let her off the hook today: "Fellow Daoist Yun, if you really want to spar, let's do it another day."

"I want to ask you today: in the small secret realm, did you really mean your promise to speak up for our sect if you met any seniors from the Lingwei Sect?"

Yun Yici nodded and said, "Of course it's true, but the seniors of Lingwei Sect have been living in seclusion for a long time, and I don't know where they are now."

Lu Yiguang said excitedly, "Your word is enough. This morning I was in the outer pavilion when I happened to run into the sword spirit of the Lingwei Sect coming to collect the entrance spirit stones for the outer pavilion."

“I chased after it and talked to it for a long time. I don’t know if it was because I mentioned you, but it seemed to be moved and might come over to talk to us.”

Yun Yici: "I won't go back on my promise, but can you decide on the matters you're discussing?"

She was a little worried that Lu Yiguang would be punished by the sect for making a decision on his own.

Lu Yiguang said, "Don't worry, when the three of us left the sect, the sect leader gave me a communication talisman that allows me to communicate directly with him."

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Senior Lingwei Sect. If you're upset, please put in a good word for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a white-clad female sword cultivator who looked exactly like the sword spirit appeared on the corridor of the Xie family mansion.

The female swordsman was dressed in white, exuding elegance and haughtiness, which made Lu Yiguang subconsciously lower his head and dare not look directly at her.

Lu Yiguang carefully followed Yun Yici to the other party and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, senior."

Yun Yici bowed along with them, and when she quietly looked up, she happened to meet the female sword cultivator opposite her winking at her.

Little Wannian, you mustn't go too far.

As for that arrogant and disdainful look in his eyes just now, it was naturally an imitation of Ying Ren.
