Three People Together

Li Yunfan watched Han Li's departing figure, feeling truly helpless, as the development of this matter had far exceeded his expectations.

"Master, I..."

Before Li Yunfan could finish speaking, Li Huayuan raised his hand to interrupt him, and then began to persuade him to agree to the matter.

As Li Yunfan listened to the other party's words, his brows gradually furrowed. According to the other party's words, they wanted him to choose Dong Xuan'er as his Daoist partner.

The reason is not complicated. Dong Xuan'er is Hong Fu's disciple and is deeply loved by her. Hong Fu is one of the strongest Core Formation cultivators in Huangfeng Valley and has a high talent for cultivation. She has a great chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

By then, with Dong Xuan'er's connection and his own spiritual talent, he will not only receive a great deal of resources from Huangfeng Valley for his nurturing, but he will also be able to become a true member of Huangfeng Valley's upper echelons, possessing power that is almost second only to the leader.

However, if he chooses Chen Qiaoqian, although he can also obtain the Chen family's cultivation resources, it will definitely not be as beneficial as choosing Dong Xuan'er. Moreover, as an outsider, he will never be able to become a core member. Not only that, he will probably have to contribute a lot to help the Chen family.

Comparing the two, choosing Dong Xuan'er is his best option no matter how you look at it!

"Master, I only wish to cultivate diligently and advance to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible. I have no intention of seeking a cultivation partner, whether it be Junior Sister Dong or Junior Sister Chen!"

After a pause, he spoke again.

"Moreover, I do have some affection for Junior Sister Chen, but I've only met Junior Sister Dong once. If I were to become her Daoist partner simply to curry favor with Senior Aunt Hong Fu, what kind of impression would that leave on her?"

"I beg your understanding, Master!" Li Yunfan bowed deeply and said sincerely to Li Huayuan.

"Sigh... Never mind, you should go back first!" After listening, Li Huayuan remained silent for a moment before finally sighing and saying.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan cupped his hands in greeting and hurriedly fled the hall, not even bothering to say goodbye to Song Meng and the other person guarding outside, before hastily leaving Green Wave Cave.

Back in his cave, Li Yunfan was quite uneasy. He didn't know if his words had moved Li Huayuan, nor whether the other party would refuse Hong Fu's kindness because of him. Now he could only wait patiently.

Three days later, Li Yunfan received another transmission talisman from Li Huayuan. When he heard the contents, his face first fell, then he was somewhat surprised, and finally he revealed a strange smile.

Meanwhile, Han Li, far away on the other side of the Taiyue Mountains, also received a transmission talisman from Li Huayuan. However, after hearing its contents, his face was filled with astonishment...

Half a month later, in front of the waterfall at Green Wave Cave, Li Yunfan, Han Li, and Dong Xuan'er stood together listening to the admonitions and entrustments of Li Huayuan and his wife and Hong Fu.

"Yun Fan and Han Li, you two must support each other on this journey and be careful to protect your junior sister. The cultivation world seems to be in turmoil lately. I've heard that cultivators are frequently disappearing one after another. At first, it was just Qi Refining cultivators, but recently even some Foundation Establishment cultivators have encountered accidents!"

Li Huayuan simply gave the two a few words of advice, while Hong Fu, standing to the side, seemed unconcerned about Dong Xuan'er and instead gave her a stern warning.

"On this journey, you must listen to your two senior brothers and not do anything wrong again, or don't blame me for disregarding our master-disciple relationship!"

Upon hearing Hong Fu's blunt words, Dong Xuan'er turned pale and nodded repeatedly without saying a word, looking quite pitiful.

Just after the three's master finished speaking, Li Yunfan released his Cloud Piercing Boat, which then carried Han Li and Dong Xuan'er and flew in a certain direction, disappearing into the horizon in no time.

After watching the three figures disappear, Li Huayuan turned to look at Hong Fu beside him and couldn't help but sigh.

After Li Yunfan left that day, he discussed it with his wife for a long time before finally deciding to go to Hongfu Cave.

After explaining Li Yunfan's situation and thoughts to her, his senior sister Hong Fu did not show the expected anger. Instead, she sighed and suggested that the three of them go to the Yan family to participate in the treasure-hunting competition.

After hearing Hong Fu's explanation, he agreed without much hesitation. After all, he had nothing to lose and wouldn't offend his senior sister, so there was no problem.

In the sky, Li Yunfan piloted the Cloud Piercing Boat. Although his expression was calm, he was constantly thinking about something in his heart.

"Senior Brother Li, that day in Uncle Li's cave, I heard him say that you possess an extremely rare Fire Spirit Body. Is that true?"

Just then, he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him. The voice sounded soft yet deep and magnetic, making it very easy for any man who heard it to have impure thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan turned around and glanced at Dong Xuan'er, who was standing in the center of the Cloud Piercing Boat. He saw her looking at him with a charming smile and a captivating allure, showing no trace of the pitiful appearance she had when she left Green Wave Cave.

"Junior sister should learn from Junior Brother Han and be quieter!" Li Yunfan said calmly.

Now, when facing these women, he is extremely careful and will never repeat the mistake he made when he was with Chen Qiaoqian.

Upon hearing Li Yunfan's words, Dong Xuan'er glanced at Han Li, who was standing at the stern of the boat, remaining silent, and said bluntly.

"Senior Brother Han is like a block of wood, dark and dull. I'm not going to be like him!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes twitched slightly, but he did not refute it, nor did he show any anger. He simply turned away from Dong Xuan'er.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan couldn't help but chuckle to himself, but in order to keep Dong Xuan'er in line, he brought out Hong Fu to suppress her.

"Junior sister, have you forgotten what your senior uncle Hongfu warned you?"

Dong Xuan'er's expression changed, and she looked at Li Yunfan with a resentful look, clearly not expecting him to use Hong Fu to suppress her.

Perhaps genuinely afraid of what Hong Fu had said, Dong Xuan'er never uttered another word after Li Yunfan's warning.

Linzhou Qingliang City is an inconspicuous and ordinary small city. Near it is Yanliang Mountain, which has a beautiful landscape. However, the ordinary people in the city have no idea that Yanling Fortress, the family stronghold of the Yan family, the number one immortal cultivation family in Yue Kingdom, is located on Yanliang Mountain!

At this moment, Li Yunfan was holding the invitation to the Treasure Hunt Conference, standing on a peak of Yanliang Mountain, while Han Li and Dong Xuan'er stood quietly behind him.

After waiting for several hours, the Yan family's host finally arrived, riding a two-headed eagle, slowly flying in from the western sky.

"We apologize for keeping you waiting, fellow Daoists. My name is Yan Yu, and this is my younger sister, Yan Ling. We have come to escort you to Yanling Fortress." As soon as the strange eagle flew to the mountain peak, a man and a woman jumped down. The man said apologetically as soon as he stood up.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. The three of us actually just arrived recently!" Li Yunfan said with a smile.

When Dong Xuan'er saw Yan Yu's extremely heroic and extraordinary appearance, her eyes lit up. She was about to go up and greet him, but then she suddenly remembered something, cursed someone in her heart, and swallowed the words she was about to say.

As if sensing something, Li Yunfan glanced back at Dong Xuan'er and saw that she really didn't come over to talk to him. He couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling very satisfied with her performance.

It turned out that he had warned Dong Xuan'er before the three of them arrived that she should not speak lightly, otherwise he would tell her everything she had done when they returned. That's why Dong Xuan'er dared not speak lightly now.
