Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

There were only a few words written on the note.

"Things haven't arrived yet, so plans change."

"Pu Mingli" tore the note in his hand into pieces.

"Zero! What's going on!?"

[Zero is checking——

Query completed.

The original owner of the Soul Bell has cancelled the order from Zhenlin Auction House.]

"Cancel?" There was a hint of disbelief in Pu Mingli's tone.

"Didn't he agree to it in the first place? Zhenlin Auction House needs to pay so many spiritual stones if it breaches the contract. How could anyone breach the contract?"

[The original owner paid two magical instruments of equal value to offset the Soul Bell’s breach of contract]

Zero replied in a cold voice.

"Wait, did you just say original owner?"

"Pu Mingli" grasped another key point.

【Yes】

"Where is the Soul Bell now?"

[The host does not have enough permissions, and can only lock the approximate location]

"Then tell me the approximate location!" "Pu Mingli" already had a deep understanding of Zero's impartiality.

【Xuanling School】

Xuanling Sect! ?

It’s the Xuanling Sect again!

"Pu Mingli" is now extremely annoyed when he hears the three words "Xuanling Sect". Every time his plans fail, it is always because of this Xuanling Sect that causes trouble.

No, He has to go find Fan Kun.

If there were no Soul-Guiding Banner and Soul Bell, his original plan would have gone terribly wrong.

A gloomy look flashed in "Pu Mingli's" eyes, and a ball of black gas emerged from Pu Mingli's body.

Perhaps because this decision was not risky, Zero did not stop His action.

The black gas quickly disappeared from the spot.

After the black gas disappeared, Pu Mingli just stood there, with no sadness or joy on his face, as if he had lost his soul, just like the bird just now.

--------

Unlike Pu Mingli who was in a crazy state, Lin Wenyu had been living a very comfortable life these days.

After finishing the backlog of things at hand, I even have the leisure time to make milk tea myself.

Unlike Lin Wenyu, the people from Lingyun Peak these days, apart from wishing peace, all had their own concerns.

Sheng Shuzhou and Yayin were worried about Ji Pei's affairs.

Ever since he ran into Ji Pei crying that day, perhaps out of embarrassment, Ji Pei had been deliberately avoiding the two of them, either staying indoors or intentionally avoiding them at different times.

As a result, Yayin and Sheng Shuzhou were unable to see Ji Pei for the past few days.

However, after Yayin discovered that Ji Pei was deliberately avoiding him, he changed direction after thinking about it for a day.

And what Li Qingwu was worried about...

It was the assessment in a few days. Although under Jian Yihan's guidance, her training could progress much faster.

But even though it saved some time, it was still a bit stressful to reach a bet within the seven-day deadline.

For this reason, Li Qingwu had to seize every minute and every second to practice, and finally he successfully broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining on the night before the deadline agreed upon with Lin Wenyu.

"Hu——" Li Qingwu exhaled, opened his eyes, looked at the shadow beside the bed, his eyes full of joy.

"Mother, I have successfully broken through to the fourth level!"

Jian Yihuan smiled and said, "Wu'er is amazing. Now that you have made a breakthrough, you should take a rest."

In the past few days, Li Qingwu practiced so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep. He didn't even sleep much and was practicing almost all the time.

Jian Yihan had been watching all this. Although he knew that a cultivator's physique would not have any problems even if they didn't sleep for a few nights, he still felt sorry for Li Qingwu.

But Jian Yihan also knew that this was something Li Qingwu really wanted to accomplish, so she did not dissuade him, but tried her best to guide Li Qingwu.

Now that he has successfully broken through to the fourth stage of Qi Refining, Li Qingwu can finally have a good night's sleep.

"All right!"

Although he felt refreshed after the breakthrough, Li Qingwu still lay down obediently.

"Mother, can you tell me a story?"

Li Qingwu spoke in a soft voice and acted coquettishly with Jian Yihuan.

"Okay, what do you want to hear?"

The shadow of Jian Yihuan sat on the edge of Li Qingwu's bed, looking at him tenderly.

"I am willing to listen to whatever my mother says!"

"Well... then, mother, tell Wu'er a story about my childhood."

--------

At dawn again, Lin Wenyu was waiting for Li Qingwu's arrival in the main hall.

Because of the bet with Li Qingwu these days, Lin Wenyu very "mercifully" canceled her morning exercises and left time for Li Qingwu to practice.

Listening to the footsteps approaching outside the hall, the door of the hall was pushed open soon, and Li Qingwu walked in with his head held high like a peacock spreading its tail.

"Oh, Xiao Qingwu has already reached the fourth level! How amazing!" Lin Wenyu also praised him very supportively.

Hearing Lin Wenyu's praise, the proud expression on Li Qingwu's face became more obvious.

“Then even if Xiao Qingwu wins this time, that thing will be yours from now on.

But I have some extra gifts for Xiao Qingwu."

Li Qingwu looked at Lin Wenyu with full anticipation, looking forward to the gift she mentioned.

"Dangdang——"

Lin Wenyu performed a magic trick and a large table of milk tea suddenly appeared on the table.

When Li Qingwu's eyes fell on the large table of milk tea, his expectant expression gradually froze.

Lin Wenyu didn't notice Li Qingwu's abnormality, or pretended not to notice Li Qingwu's abnormality, and continued talking to herself.

“This is the new milk tea I developed yesterday!

As a reward, these will all be given to Xiao Qingwu!"
