Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 49 Completing the Task

At this moment, the entire study room fell silent.

No one spoke again.

Half an hour later, a stream of light flew in from outside.

Steward Fang reached out and grabbed it, seemingly checking it. A moment later, his expression changed.

"Hehe! You kid actually made connections with the young geniuses of the Yu Family and the Fu Family!"

After a while, Steward Fang looked at Li Yunjing with an amused expression.

He didn’t know the whole story, but with his shrewdness, he could naturally guess a bit of the truth.

If Li Yunjing had no background, he would definitely do Wei Henian a favor and take care of Li Yunjing.

But now, this kid really has some backing.

So it’s not worth offending the geniuses of the Yu Family and the Fu Family for such a small favor!

After all, Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao have a good chance of becoming Golden Core Realm ancestors in the future. He didn’t want these two to remember him because of such a trivial matter.

Yes!

In Steward Fang’s eyes, the death of four Outer Sect disciples was no big deal.

Every year in "Red Sun Valley," if there weren’t a few accidents that killed a hundred or so cultivators?

When it comes to spirit veins, how could there be smooth mining?

With people spying from the outside, thieves on the inside, and in the mine veins, there are also accumulated toxic gases, miasmas, demon beasts over the years...

Deaths were common sights for Steward Fang.

In his eyes, this matter was like child’s play and not something he cared about at all.

"Cough, cough!"

Steward Fang’s expression tightened, and he said seriously, "Servant disciple, Li Yunjing, heed my order!"

"Disciple is here!"

Li Yunjing quickly responded.

At this moment, Li Yunjing was extremely nervous. This old fox didn’t look like a kind person. His fate was in Steward Fang’s hands, and he was afraid this old fox would come down hard on him.

Li Yunjing was about to accept the judgment of fate!

"Today, the servant disciple, Li Yunjing, escorted provisions to ’Red Sun Valley,’ totaling ten ’Hundred Treasures Pouch,’ verified without error. Special task rewards will be distributed: 70 Contribution Points, 35 Low Grade Spirit Stones, and 9 Qi Cultivation Pills."

To Li Yunjing’s surprise, Steward Fang didn’t mention a word about the deaths.

Instead, he confirmed that Li Yunjing completed the sect mission!

"Hmm?"

Li Yunjing was stunned. Was it that simple?

Immediately, he cast away his worries and thought about how generous the task rewards were.

"This..."

Li Yunjing asked in confusion.

"Hehe, weren’t there five of you in your group? The other four died, but the rewards still need to be distributed. How you handle them, whether to give them to their families, friends, or hand them over to Wei Henian, is none of my business."

Steward Fang grinned wickedly, somewhat gloatingly. He also wanted to see which side would have the last laugh.

"Uh... Thank you, Steward Fang!"

Seeing Steward Fang hand over the identity token and Storage Bag, Li Yunjing naturally accepted them with a smile.

As for returning them to Wei Henian, was he crazy?

If Li Yunjing appeared before Wei Henian, he’d probably be slapped to death in Wei Henian’s rage!

"As for your matter, the sect’s ’Law Enforcement Hall’ will investigate."

Seeing through Li Yunjing’s concerns, Steward Fang smiled again, "Whether it’s you returning to the sect to report in person or having me write a report for you, it’s up to you."

"Hehe, that won’t be necessary, Steward Fang. I’ll directly find Fu Chao and have him report to the ’Law Enforcement Hall’!"

Li Yunjing quickly declined Steward Fang’s suggestion.

Having a Foundation Establishment Realm bigwig report would certainly draw more attention from the ’Law Enforcement Hall.’

That wasn’t what Li Yunjing wanted.

The old man’s handling was beneficial to Li Yunjing!

At least, in the short term, the sect wouldn’t know about these matters.

If Li Yunjing reports personally, he could first consult with Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao, then have them calmly arrange things and liaise with the ’Law Enforcement Hall.’

Then, the people from the ’Law Enforcement Hall’ would naturally turn a blind eye and not investigate him.

With Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao’s connections, influencing such a minor matter shouldn’t be an issue.

Meanwhile, this period allows him to temporarily avoid Wei Henian’s targeting!

He must carefully plan these fifteen days and shouldn’t return to the sect prematurely.

In an instant, Li Yunjing figured out the best course of action.

"Alright, kid, you can leave now! Whether you stay here or leave is up to you."

Having seen enough excitement, Steward Fang waved his hand to dismiss him.

"Yes! Disciple takes leave!"

Li Yunjing didn’t dare to say more. This old man was too frightening; he felt uneasy staying here. Being dismissed was better!

Staying away from Steward Fang meant staying away from danger!

The two Inner Sect disciples then led Li Yunjing and Chen Zongfu out of the study room.

This time, the two Inner Sect disciples’ expressions softened slightly.

As for befriending Li Yunjing?

That’s not possible! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

This kid wants to rise; he must get past True Disciple Wei Henian first!

Both of them wouldn’t dare to bet at this moment.

Wei Henian’s reputation was so well-known that even they, who distanced themselves from the sect, were well aware of it.

Someone like that wouldn’t be easily offended, even by someone as capable as Steward Fang.

How could they, mere Qi Cultivation Realm disciples, provoke such a person?

This matter must remain neutral!

"Junior Brother Li, how about it? Do you have any plans? Do you want to stay here for a day and rest up?"

Once they exited the cave, without the Inner Sect disciples around, Chen Zongfu relaxed a lot and joked with a smile.

Li Yunjing thought for a moment, then nodded, "That would be great. By the way, what are those places for? Are they the miners’ residences?"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing pointed to the rows of houses he had seen on the way over and asked.

"Yes! The entire mine has a total of 20,000 miners, most of whom are mortals."

Chen Zongfu smiled and nodded, explaining to Li Yunjing.

"Oh? So there are cultivators mining too?"

Li Yunjing caught onto the insinuation in his words.

"Of course! The mines are complex, and some areas are beyond the capability of mortals. Naturally, cultivators are needed to open new mining areas."

Chen Zongfu said, "Come! Junior Brother Li, let me show you around!"

Unlike Inner Sect disciples, he didn’t have the capital to put on airs.

At this moment, he was very enthusiastic towards Li Yunjing.

He was thinking about making friends with Li Yunjing.

If Li Yunjing did indeed rise in the future, he could benefit from it.

"Oh? Then let’s go see. By the way, what are the conditions for cultivators mining?"

Li Yunjing was curious, not expecting cultivators to do such lowly work.
