Peerless Taoist

However, this glance made Lu Yu even more confused.    

Because he saw a trace of infatuation in Ling Qianyi's eyes.    

This made Lu Yu feel surprised. He did not have a deep relationship with this woman, and they had only met by chance. However, the seductive look in Ling Qianyi's eyes was clearly a beauty. She had seen her long-lost lover.    

"That's right, it's yours. Take it."    

After saying that, Ling Qianyi did not say anything else and directly stuffed the waist plate into Lu Yu's hand.    

A warm and smooth feeling, like a pure white jade, flowed into Lu Yu's heart. Lu Yu couldn't help but feel shocked as he looked at this woman in surprise.    

What was going on with this woman?    

"Alright, I'll accept this waist plate."    

Although Lu Yu was surprised, this was a benefit that he had obtained. Lu Yu naturally had no reason to let it go.    

Seeing that Lu Yu had accepted the waist plate, Ling Qianyi's face revealed a look of joy, as if a child who had been preparing for a long time had finally obtained the approval of a grown-up.    

Looking at Ling Qianyi again, she still had a smile on her face, but her breathing became hurried, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.    

Everything was a bit strange. Lu Yu was surprised, but he did not ask about it in detail and left.    

After Lu Yu left, Ling Guangxia immediately said in a deep voice, "Miss, you gave this boy the token, are you trying to recruit him? However, he has already joined the Miracle Hand Clan. He is an alchemist, so joining the Snow Pavilion is meaningless."    

"I know what to do. Elder Guangxia, you don't need to say anything else." Ling Qianyi waved her hand, her breathing was heavy.    

These changes naturally could not be hidden from Ling Guangxia's eyes.    

"Could it be that Miss has taken a fancy to that boy?"    

After hearing this thought, Ling Guangxia's expression changed drastically, and his face revealed a look as if he had seen a ghost.    

In the Three Clear Sacred Territory, Ling Qianyi was a famous ice beauty. Countless people wanted to pursue her, but in the end, they were all rejected coldly. However, she did not expect Ling Qianyi to have such an expression towards Lu Yu.    

If that was the case, then the matter would be serious.    

In Ling Guangxia's opinion, although Lu Yu had some methods, he was just a junior who was not very famous. He did not have a strong background, so how could he be worthy of them?    

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"    

Just as Ling Guangxia was thinking about it, a few sharp sounds of air being torn apart suddenly sounded out, followed by a series of spirit talismans falling into Ling Guangxia's hands.    

Ling Guangxia's expression immediately became serious. He picked up all the spirit talismans and carefully checked them. He said in a deep voice, "It was indeed done by Shennong Hall."    

“Was it done by the Divine Farming Hall’s Protector?” Ling Qianyi instantly frowned.    

“Of course it’s him.”    

Ling Guangxia grunted coldly. “That Divine Farming Hall’s Protector actually dared to extend his hand into our Snowcrane Pavilion. This time, he only eliminated a few spies, yet they were already impatient to make a move. Such a rampant force is the first time I’ve seen it.”    

“Since they dare to make a move against me, then aren’t they afraid of my Snowcrane Pavilion taking revenge?” Ling Qianyi said coldly.    

“Young Miss, the times are different now.”    

Ling Guangxia shook his head. “The situation at the frontlines has already changed. Presently, our Ling-Bao Sect has suffered heavy losses, whereas the Sovereign Sect still possesses sufficient strength. Even though the three great sects of the Clear Sky World are on par, it is already very difficult for our Ling-Bao Sect to resist. Moreover, the Divine Farming Hall has even joined the Sovereign Sect, and their strength is growing. So even if they want to punish us, we have no way to do anything.”    

Ling Qianyi’s face instantly revealed a furious expression. “They’re clearly still fighting the fiend race at the frontlines, yet they dare to cause internal strife at the rear?”    

“In the end, our forces won’t affect the three great sects. They’re currently busy dealing with the fiend race, so they won’t come to help us.”    

Ling Guangxia said in a low voice, “The Tower Lord has grasped a great deal of information about the Divine Farming Hall, and they’re probably already targeting us. The return journey this time is probably extremely dangerous.”    

After he finished speaking, Ling Guangxia waved his hand. “Men!”    

As Ling Guangxia's voice faded, a few grey-robed elders appeared beside him. Their expressions were solemn, and their bodies emitted a terrifying aura, causing the surrounding void to tremble violently.    

These grey-robed elders looked no different from ordinary servants of the Ling Family. However, as soon as they stood there, they immediately revealed their extraordinary qualities.    

"All of you must pay close attention to the patrol during these days. You must not let a single corner slip by. You must protect the Eldest Miss well!"    

"Yes!"    

All the grey-robed elders present shouted in a deep voice.    

If Lu Yu was here, he would have definitely discovered that the few grey-robed elders standing there were actually at the first level of the Eternal King Realm!    

A dignified Eternal King Realm master was actually serving as a servant for someone else!    

Only a powerhouse at the level of the Snow Stepping Tower could achieve this.    

"Wait! Elder Guangxia, send someone to deliver this information to Lu Yu!" Ling Qianyi suddenly said in a deep voice.    

"Why should we give it to them? The Shennong Hall's target this time is not them." Ling Guangxia frowned.    

"They all ambushed them while Lu Yu was cultivating. They will definitely make a move in the future. The people of the Shennong Hall are already competing with the Miracle Hand Clan. They will definitely not let go of the Miracle Hand Clan's ship. It's better to inform them."    

Hearing Ling Qianyi's instructions, Ling Guangxia finally sighed and shook his head.    

"Alright, I'll do as you say."    

...    

After six hours, Lu Yu was in a meeting room on the transport ship, chatting with Zhu Hao.    

But at this moment, a guard of the Ling Family brought a letter to Lu Yu.    

"Master Lu, this is something the young lady specifically asked me to give you." Before the guard left, he reminded Lu Yu.    

"Alright, thank your young lady on my behalf." Lu Yu nodded.    

Zhu Hao asked curiously, "I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so popular with women. The young lady of the Ling Family is a famous ice beauty at the Three Pure Divine Realm. I didn't expect her to thank you on her own accord. It's such a heavenly order. You have earned a lot."    

"Is this heavenly order very valuable?" Lu Yu asked.    

"Of course! Do you think anyone can obtain information from the Snow Stepping Tower? Many cultivators, even those with the highest cultivation level, are not qualified to be honored guests of the Snow Stepping Tower. Only some powerful experts have the right to exchange for such honored guest status by spending a large amount of money every year."    

Zhu Hao looked at the heavenly order in Lu Yu's hand and said with envy, "Now that you have a status, as long as you have money, you will be able to buy any information you want."
