Li Yunjing takes Ji Zixuan to stroll around Shenxiao Island. While visiting the Spirit Plant Garden, Ji Zixuan is fascinated by the beautiful, yet dangerous, Demon Butterfly Flowers. Despite Li Yunjing's warnings and his own concerns about her safety, he agrees to give her some after she insists, but only if her parents approve.

"Alright then!"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Ji Zixuan finally smiled.

Her beautiful face blossomed into a radiant smile.

Li Yunjing looked at her, feeling as if he were looking at a girl next door.

The lively and optimistic demeanor of this young girl brightened Li Yunjing’s mood.

This is how being around certain people influences your mindset.

If you’re always with people filled with negative emotions, your own state won’t be any better.

But if you are with a cheerful person, you’ll also be affected and become happy.

After visiting the Spirit Plant Garden, Li Yunjing aimlessly wandered around with Ji Zixuan.

Whenever they encountered the disciples of "Shenxiao Island," these people sensibly stepped aside, not wanting to disturb the Vice Sect Leader’s tranquility.

Before long, the two of them reached the martial arts arena of Shenxiao Island. Although it was empty, the residual spiritual power in the area still evoked the diligent cultivation atmosphere from the disciples during the day.

"Brother Yunjing, let me show you the magic I’ve just learned!"

Ji Zixuan said excitedly.

With that, she channeled her mana, forming a Water Blade in her hand, and shot it towards a target in the distance, hitting the bullseye accurately.

Li Yunjing clapped and praised, "Zixuan has made great progress, you’ll surely become a formidable cultivator in the future."

Even as he said this, he silently cursed himself for being shameless!

Ji Zixuan’s mana was loose, clearly due to lack of practice, and the power of her spell barely reaching seventy percent was already commendable.

While those diligent cultivators could exert thirty percent more power with the same spell!

How could Ji Zixuan possibly compete with that?

Pampered as she was, if she faced real danger, a Foundation Establishment Realm Fourth Heaven cultivator could easily take her life!

Thinking about the daughter of a Nascent Soul Realm master at that level, Li Yunjing also felt helpless.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ji Zixuan’s face bloomed with a smile, "It’s all because I want to catch up with Brother Yunjing, so I’ve been working hard on my cultivation!"

"Pfft..."

Li Yunjing almost choked.

He had just been about to advise Ji Zixuan to cultivate diligently with more effort, but her words stopped him short.

Is this what you call working hard in cultivation?

Then there aren’t lazy cultivators in the whole world!

Just as Li Yunjing was at a loss for words from Ji Zixuan’s remark, two familiar figures appeared in the distance.

"Brother Li!"

From afar, Wen Bin waved his hand and shouted, "Finally found you!"

Liao Wanqing was smiling softly, carrying a delicate food box in her hand.

Curious, Ji Zixuan turned her head, seeing the two approaching, blinked and asked, "Brother Yunjing, who are they?"

"This is Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, both my friends."

Li Yunjing introduced with a smile, then asked Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, "What brings you here?"

Wen Bin scratched his head and chuckled, "We looked all over the island and couldn’t find you. Figured you might be showing Miss Ji around, so we came to the martial arts arena to try our luck, and here you are!"

Saying so, he approached Ji Zixuan, "Hello Miss Ji, I’ve heard Yunjing mention you. Seeing you today, you truly are adorable!"

"Indeed! Sister Zixuan is naturally beautiful, loved by all!"

Liao Wanqing also praised from the side.

Both were aware of Ji Zixuan’s background, thinking who would dare to offend such a top-tier second generation?

Upon seeing Ji Zixuan, even Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing had to greet her with smiles.

Otherwise, angering this little demon and having her report back to the "Bibo Immortals", having two Nascent Soul Realm figures knocking on the door, even Feiyun Master and Saint Sound Fairy would be on edge.

Ji Zixuan blushed from the compliments, whispered "thank you" softly, and hid behind Li Yunjing.

Seeing this, Liao Wanqing gently patted Wen Bin, playfully scolding, "Don’t scare Sister Zixuan."

She then opened the food box, revealing several exquisite pastries, "I knew you two have been walking around for quite a while, probably hungry, so I specially brought some snacks."

Wen Bin rolled his eyes beside her, thinking what does that have to do with him?

Liao Wanqing, this woman, sure knows how to play the nice guy!

It’s not even like you don’t come across as a good person yourself and startled the little demon?

Of course, Wen Bin wouldn’t dare say this out loud.

Li Yunjing looked at the pastries exuding a fragrant aroma and laughed, "Wanqing is indeed thoughtful."

The few of them sat in a nearby pavilion, chatting by the martial arts arena.

Wen Bin enthusiastically shared interesting stories he’d heard recently on Shenxiao Island, making Ji Zixuan occasionally let out a chime-like laugh.

Yet Li Yunjing wasn’t laughing; from the conversation of Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, he knew that the establishment of the "East Sea Alliance" had not been smooth lately, with numerous conflicts arising.

Even someone as esteemed as the Five Elements Master almost couldn’t maintain control of the situation.

It wasn’t until Li Yunjing and the others accidentally toppled the "Ghost Fiend Hall" and "Demon Control Sect" that they gained prestige through the intimidation of others, deterring the representatives from various factions.

Now, the alliance was just barely established.

To harness overall strength, much more cooperation and adjustment were needed.

Outside the pavilion, the sea breeze caused a copper bell at the eaves to ring lightly. Li Yunjing unconsciously rubbed a cup with his fingers, suddenly speaking, "Since the Five Elements Master has already gathered the island masters, why are there still so many conflicts?"

He raised his eyes to look at Wen Bin, curiosity in his gaze.

"Aren’t they just a bunch of old foxes!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Bin slammed down the half-eaten pastry with a thud, his tone filled with resentment, "On the surface, they elect the Five Elements Master as the Alliance Hierarch, but privately, each holds ulterior motives."

"Take the Ice Soul Elder from ’Profound Ice Island’, during the meeting, he insisted on controlling the distribution of alliance resources himself, claiming it’s for the defense of the northern sea regions. But who doesn’t know he wants to enrich himself and expand his own power!"
