Chapter 164 Li Shuyi's Invitation

Although Cen Zhu's face remained expressionless, the excitement in her eyes was palpable.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators beside her were still enthusiastically discussing Lin Xue's background and the exceptionally high level of her crafted magical artifacts,

completely unaware that their subject of discussion was standing right next to her.

Cen Zhu stood silently listening for a while, finally gaining a slight understanding of the so-called family cultivation forces they were talking about.

It turned out that, like other cultivation sects across the land, the Lingyin Sect had multiple factions entangled within it. Logically speaking,

the power struggles for higher positions were actually none of her concern, but Cen Zhu listened attentively

because of the second-ranked Li Shuyi mentioned by the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

According to them, Li Shuyi was originally a key figure being supported by the Li family, but in recent years, another

genius cultivator, Li Junshan, had emerged in the Li family, and the struggle between the two was fierce and intense.

Li Junshan and Li Shuyi both signed up for the weapon-refining competition, initially confident they would both make it into

the top three within their sect. However

, the first place was unexpectedly won by a female cultivator named Lin Xue. This made Li Shuyi the only member of the Li family eligible to participate in the joint competition of the ten major sects. Given Li Shuyi's

talent , connections, and weapon-refining skills, it seemed certain he would become the future head of the Li family.

Cen Zhu stayed for a while longer, and seeing no further news, returned to her cave on her sword.

Upon returning, she received countless congratulatory messages. Among them were her neighbor Han Wen,

Li Shuyi, and Mu Jiling. What struck her most strange were many

from cultivators she had only met once, or even just exchanged a nod.

Although she hadn't even heard of most of them, she still politely replied to each one with her thanks. While

cultivators mostly endure hardship, having a friend was always better than having an enemy.

Especially for an outsider like her, compared to those who weren't local and already had connections, if she wasn't

careful and cautious, she might not even know how she perished after making such a big splash.

The commendation ceremony in ten days should award the "Great Rejuvenation Pill"! Once she got the pill, she would immediately find

an opportunity to leave the sect and give it to Meng Ji.

Just as she finished setting up the defensive formation and was preparing to enter the scroll world to cultivate, a communication talisman floated at the door. She

waved her right hand, and the talisman immediately entered.

She took the talisman, and the talisman spontaneously combusted, transmitting the message: "Junior Sister Lin, to celebrate our two taking the top two spots in today's weapon-refining

competition , a banquet has been prepared. Please attend. In an hour, your senior brother will personally come to pick

you up."

Cen Zhu was stunned. That voice was clearly Li Shuyi's. Could this person, having won second place, be harboring resentment and deliberately

coming to haunt her? However, he specifically sent a communication talisman, even saying he would personally come to greet her; if he truly wanted to assassinate her,

he wouldn't have such an upright manner.

She pondered this over and over, still unable to fathom his true purpose.

Oh well, such suspicion would only add to her troubles; as the saying goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it." She

would . Taking this opportunity, she slightly adjusted the formation. Since Li Shuyi had said an hour, she still had enough

time to enter the scroll and tell Yang the good news of her first place victory.

After entering the scroll and delivering the news, she cultivated within it for nearly half a year before leaving the scroll and

returning to her cave.

Only half an hour had passed in the mortal world. She sat cross-legged on the futon and continued cultivating.

After a while, a streak of light flew from the horizon, rushing towards the cave entrance. Cen Zhu looked up and saw Li Shuyi,

dressed in a sky-blue Daoist robe, walking towards the cave with a smile on his face.

Cen Zhu waved away the restrictions within the cave and quickly rose to greet him, saying, "Senior Brother Li's personal visit is truly undeserved

."

Li Shuyi raised his hand, "Junior Sister, there's no need for such formalities. Since today's banquet is for you, it's

only right that I, as the host, lead you." Cen Zhu was taken aback. Li Shuyi's attitude today was vastly different from when they first met. Alas! How similar

cultivators and mortals are, both so pragmatic. Back　　then, she was merely an ordinary-looking female cultivator at the Core Formation stage, with no particularly high cultivation level. Li Shuyi practically addressed her with his chin, but now, having won the weapon-refining competition and even surpassing all others, even the top Golden Core cultivator treats her with such courtesy. 　　Although deeply moved, Cen Zhu remained outwardly calm. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and asked, "Where is the banquet held, Senior Brother ?" 　　Li Shuyi smiled and said, "Junior Sister, please follow me." 　　Li Shuyi leaped onto his longsword, gesturing for his junior sister to ride with him, but she pretended not to notice, summoning her own flying sword and calmly leaping aboard. 　　Li Shuyi smiled slightly, seemingly unperturbed by her refusal. 　　Li Shuyi thought to himself that this woman was always polite to him, but her beautiful eyes were extremely clear, completely devoid of any infatuation. This surprised Li Shuyi; he hadn't expected there to be a Golden Core cultivator in the Lingyin Sect who was completely indifferent to him. 　　Cen Zhu pondered that Li Shuyi was indeed handsome, had reached the Great Perfection , and possessed the Li family's influence within the Lingyin Sect—all factors that made him quite popular among the female cultivators. But even with these advantages, it was absolutely not enough to attract her, whose Dao heart was steadfast. She had traveled across the ocean to avoid trouble caused by men, so why would she allow herself to fall into the quagmire of emotions again? So what if Li Shuyi was the dream lover of most female cultivators in the Lingyin Sect? She even wished she could be as far away from him as possible. 　　The two flew silently on their swords. Cen Zhu didn't want to get too involved with Li Shuyi, hence her quiet silence; Li Shuyi, on the other hand, was thinking about how to seduce her. He was never good at socializing with female cultivators; after all, they always chattered incessantly upon seeing him, and he didn't need to think of topics—they would find opportunities to dabble in conversation. Perhaps, like last time before the weapon-refining competition, discussing weapon refining and cultivation, would be a good starting point. 　　"Junior sister, this is my cave dwelling," 　　Cen Zhu casually praised, "Senior brother's cave dwelling has excellent spiritual energy." 　　Although it was a casual compliment, it wasn't insincere. The spiritual energy here was much richer ; the elite disciples of the sect certainly received treatment far superior to ordinary disciples like them. 　　Li Shuyi smiled and shook his head: "Junior sister is so kind!" 　　The two flew down on their swords and landed in front of the cave.

Li Shuyi smiled at her and said, "Come in, have a seat!" Then, with a wave of his hand,

the stone door in front of the cave opened.

Cen Zhu was still looking around when Li Shuyi grabbed her hand and said, "Come in!"

Cen Zhu was startled and instinctively tried to pull away, but not wanting to be too blatant and anger Li Shuyi, she could only give

him a disapproving look in her eyes, constantly reassuring herself that holding hands was nothing, nothing at all!

Fortunately, after Li Shuyi led Cen Zhu into the hall, he immediately released her hand.

Upon entering the hall, they found a table set with food and wine, but the hall was extremely spacious,

with no other decorations besides the carved tables and chairs.

Cen Zhu exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother, is this just the two of us at the banquet today?"
