Inside the Lai Fu Inn, Ji Li followed Lu Xun’s gaze to the entrance. She made eye contact with the newcomer.

The visitor was dressed in black and was estimated to be over one meter eighty-five tall, noticeably taller than Lu Xun.

The one in black was quite fat, his entire body resembling a sphere.

This just confirmed the saying, “Every story has its fat character,” though normally, it would be a male character. Yet the newcomer was a woman.

She seemed to be doing her best to style herself as a celestial, striving to fit the worldly impression of immortal figures, but her size made such attempts futile.

The reason Lu Xun noticed her, was because he knew that she was indeed a cultivator.

Whilst she was fat, she could actually fly, like a hot air balloon.

Her name was Murong Yan. Her parents probably wished her to be as light and free as a swallow, yet instead she turned out to be a stumbling block.

The reason why Lu Xun knew of her and remembered her name, was because she played the role of the “Novice Village Mentor” after the public-testing stage, although she was not the mentor for newbies of Wei county, but of the neighbouring Qingmu county.

It was unclear why she happened to be in Wei county now.

There are numerous cultivators’ sects in “Heavenly Dust”. So many, in fact, that they can’t be counted. But if there is a sect, they would certainly recruit disciples, always walking the path of sustainable development.

Therefore, the traces of real-life cultivators are not untraceable. They take every opportunity to show off in the mortal world in order to recruit more disciples!

Just like prestigious universities that don’t worry about a lack of applicants, while those wild/fowl universities persist in the philosophy of cheating every one of them they can.

As long as they have the qualifications to cultivate, they cheat every one they encounter. Many novice players are initially led down the wrong path, assuming they have a bright future, only to regretfully delete their accounts and start over after some time.

However, Murong Yan was different, as she did not graduate from a wild/fowl university. Her sect was considered prestigious in the Heavenly Dust Continent. Nevertheless, her sect was a bit special…

Murong Yan, who was standing at the door, naturally saw Lu Xun and Ji Li looking at her. Since she was accustomed to gaining attention, she wasn’t surprised.

However, she gave a slight pause when she saw the appearance of Lu Xun.

In the cultivators’ sect, attractive people were not uncommon – there were, in fact, quite a few.

Life was so cruel: when granting an exceptional talent, life often also bestowed good looks.

——But it gave nothing to you.

Nevertheless… she had never come across anyone as handsome as Lu Xun. As experienced as she was, she had to admit that he was the most handsome man she had ever met.

After exchanging glances with her, Lu Xun turned away from her, paying his dues to the waiter, and asked him to lead Ji Li and himself to their rooms.

The waiter turned towards Murong Yan and said with an amiable smile, “Gentle Lady, please wait while I took the other two guests upstairs first. I will be back shortly.”

Murong Yan nodded, she didn’t put on airs at all. She took a seat on the bench, which creaked under her weight.

Poor bench.

As she watched Lu Xun and the others going upstairs, she could not help but gasp softly when she saw Ji Li’s Wedding Sword.

With her sharp sight, she could naturally tell that it was a magical sword, and that Ji Li was just a common young girl in the martial arts world.

“It’s a crime to carry jade.” Murong Yan murmured.

…

…

After going upstairs, Lu Xun entered room number one. To his surprise, Ji Li also went in.

“What are you doing? Are you insisting on staying together?” Lu Xun asked, puzzled.

It was hard to tell whether Ji Li’s face was red behind her veil, but her ears certainly were. She said, “I’m going to sell these weapons, are you coming?”

“No,” Lu Xun waved her off lazily.
