The tone in his speech was filled with confidence!

Upon meeting again, Li Yunjing was no longer an ordinary person.

His woman, Li Yunjing could protect very well!

"Hmm! I believe in your strength now!"

Liu Ruyan chuckled lightly, but then her expression turned serious, and she said earnestly, "Currently, my development is going well within the Sect. I have great potential and can achieve more! I still don’t want to give up my current life plans!"

"However, there are a few people I really dislike..."

At this moment, before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, there came a rush of footsteps from outside, followed by Fu Chao’s voice: "Old Li! Hurry and get up! If you don’t come out, I’ll think you’ve been drained by some seductress!"

Clearly, Fu Chao had been staying at the "Smoke Rain Tower" for some time and was quite familiar with the environment upstairs and downstairs.

He often came by to see when Li Yunjing would wake up from his tender lair!

Today, he really couldn’t wait any longer!

So Fu Chao shouted loudly.

Hearing his brother’s joking words, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Tell me who you want to kill later! My good brother seems to be looking for me with something important."

After Liu Ruyan was properly dressed, looking like a refined lady, Li Yunjing was satisfied and got up to open the door.

Seeing Fu Chao standing anxiously outside the door, with a few "Smoke Rain Tower" maids behind him.

"You finally decided to come out!"

Seeing Li Yunjing, Fu Chao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then squinted and asked, "How is it? After more than half a month, have your powers increased significantly?"

Li Yunjing jokingly scolded, "Stop with the nonsense! Haven’t you been having too much fun to think of home these past half month?"

Fu Chao chuckled, scratching his head, "That’s true. But I’m not as exaggerated as you, disappearing for over half a month!"

As the two continued their banter, Liu Ruyan walked over.

She changed into a simple and elegant dress. Though it lacked the previous allure, it added a touch of elegance.

Seeing her, Fu Chao widened his eyes and stammered, "And this is..."

Li Yunjing smiled and introduced, "This is Liu Ruyan, my... old acquaintance."

Fu Chao came to a sudden realization and quickly cupped his hands, "Oh, it’s Miss Liu, my apologies!"

Liu Ruyan smiled faintly, bowing in return, "You’re too kind, Master Fu."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Yunjing said seriously, "Fu Chao, what’s the matter you’re here for?"

"It’s something important!"

Fu Chao nodded, "Otherwise, why would I interrupt your good time?"

Fu Chao’s expression turned serious, and his gaze swept between Li Yunjing and Liu Ruyan, as if weighing whether to speak in front of her.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Yunjing patted Fu Chao’s shoulder and smiled, "No worries, Ruyan isn’t an outsider, just say what you need to."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, a hint of joy flickered in her eyes as she looked at Li Yunjing with tenderness.

She softly said, "Master Fu, if you have something important, please speak freely. If it’s inconvenient, I can step aside for a moment."

"No need!"

Fu Chao waved his hand and laughed, "Since Old Li said so, I won’t hold back."

He lowered his voice, speaking in a somewhat grave tone, "The matter with the Zhao Family is over!"

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "How did the Sect deal with it?"

"Their family was exterminated!"

Fu Chao paused, then continued, "But Zhao Zunxin, who escaped that day, has disappeared!"

"Hmm?"

Li Yunjing furrowed his brows, puzzled, "A master at the Seventh Heaven of the Golden Core Realm couldn’t be caught? That could leave a huge problem for the future."

"There’s nothing that could be done!"

Fu Chao sighed, speaking slowly, "That old guy never returned to the Zhao Family that day! He directly fled, not even caring for his descendants! What a ruthless person!"

"I see!"

Li Yunjing understood, nodding and smiling, "Let’s go see Vice City Lord Wang! We can’t miss out on our Contribution Points!"

"Exactly! That’s why I came to find you!"

Fu Chao nodded and complained, "The ’Law Enforcement Hall’ people made a fortune, yet we received nothing! Now, we can only get some Contribution Points to comfort our wounded spirits!"

"Alright! Let’s make a trip!"

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu Ruyan, speaking softly, "Ruyan, wait for me here! I’ll come back to you once I’ve finished the business!"

"Okay!"

Liu Ruyan nodded gently, a hint of tenderness in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Yunjing, don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. Just make sure you stay safe while you’re out exploring."

"With you around, I’ll naturally be more careful."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, holding Liu Ruyan’s hand, he spoke softly.

"Oh my, I’m here to talk business, and instead, I’m being fed with your public display of affection?"

Fu Chao couldn’t help but tease upon seeing this.

"Stop with the nonsense!"

Li Yunjing jokingly scolded, "Let’s go!"

"Alright, but hurry and return! Otherwise, I think someone will start missing you..."

Fu Chao paused, his gaze moving between Li Yunjing and Liu Ruyan, showing a meaningful smile.

"Shouldn’t you two give me an explanation? I heard that Miss Liu has been staying at the ’Smoke Rain Tower’ for more than half a month, a treatment not given to just any ’old acquaintance’."

Before Li Yunjing or Liu Ruyan could say anything, Fu Chao gossipingly asked.

Hearing this, Li Yunjing’s face briefly showed a rare hint of embarrassment, and he lightly cleared his throat, "We’ll talk about this later, right now let’s prioritize dealing with the Contribution Points matter."
