A young Daoist in a blue robe sat erect with his clothes neatly arranged, his simple long hair tied up and swaying slightly in the breeze that passed through the hall.

This was the scene that Sun Yingying saw when she laid eyes on Li Ping’an.

If Sun Yingying were to describe the man before her, she could think of many words, but when they reached her lips, all that came out was a coy laugh:

“Such a handsome young man.”

Yet inadvertently, she seemed to be affected by the mortal world’s desires.

Li Ping’an looked up towards the screen, and when the graceful figure behind it came into view, he thought to himself ‘as expected.’

Sun Yingying was still using that disguised appearance.

Though she looked beautiful, it was much more ordinary compared to her true face.

Compared to the outfit she wore at the Drunken Moon Tower, her attire was quite conservative.

Although the long dress was missing fabric in some key areas, like the chest, shoulders, and the sides of her thighs, it was still quite formal for her.

“Please.”

Li Ping’an gestured with his hand, and Sun Yingying bowed slightly, taking a seat on the low table opposite him with a smile that was full of charm.

Three screens enclosed the privacy of the location, offering a view towards the east of the dark sea and the lights throughout Dong’an City.

Two True Immortal elders who were waiting beside them raised their hands to put up a double barrier, cutting off the sound from inside and outside.

The pendant on Li Ping’an’s chest swayed slightly.

“For Manager Sun to come today is somewhat unexpected to me,” he said.

“Is it?”

Sun Yingying held her palace fan over her red lips, speaking in an incredibly tender tone:

“When a Grand Enlightened True Immortal extends an invitation, how could I refuse?

So many heroes in this world wish for an opportunity to speak face-to-face with Grand Enlightened True Immortal like this.

Tonight’s events are certainly something I will boast about to my sisters for a hundred years.”

Li Ping’an said, “The Happy Valley has always been proud of its unique goods.

Rarely do they take the initiative to sell information.”

Sun Yingying laughed flirtatiously: “That’s for others, but if you wish to see me, how could I dare not come?”

“Why must Manager Sun put on such an act?”

Li Ping’an said earnestly:

“I invited Manager Sun here, and you should know my intentions.”

Sun Yingying smiled: “If you don’t make it clear, how could I understand?”

Li Ping’an frowned slightly and said nothing, just gazing into Sun Yingying’s eyes.

At that moment, Sun Yingying felt a bit strange.

She always felt she had seen the Grand Enlightened True Immortal’s eyes before, not just once, but several times.

Sun Yingying looked carefully at Li Ping’an, the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually fading, and she placed her palace fan at the edge of the table.

Sun Yingying said, “Truly, you have summoned me here, and it seems not even for a bit of flirtation.”

“Let’s skip the romantic talk.”

Li Ping’an said with a smile:

“It’s no big deal that my house steward has a taste for womenfolk.

One is willing to strike, the other willing to receive, but even such a pastime was exploited by Manager Sun to probe our strengths and weaknesses.

“This, Manager Sun, has not been done in good faith.”

Sun Yingying hurriedly said: “Your Excellency Yan is a treasured guest of our Drunken Moon Tower.

If you speak so, we cannot bear such a sin.”

“Let’s cut the idle talk short…”

“Are you Wanyun Sect always so petty?”

Sun Yingying pointed at the low table in front of her:

“You say you’ve invited me to a feast, yet without the promise of fine wine or cuisine, you could at least offer a cup of tea.”

Li Ping’an nodded, and from his sleeve, he took out a jug of immortal wine, and two wine cups, filling one cup to the brim and the other halfway.

Then, before Sun Yingying’s eyes, he took out an enchantment pill and dropped it into the full cup, pushing it towards her with his mana.

Sun Yingying’s forehead was lined with black lines.

Li Ping’an said earnestly: “This is a fine wine especially produced by the Wanyun Sect, a rare delight that could even make a Heavenly Immortal intoxicated.”

“Let’s, let’s forget about that,”

Sun Yingying pushed the wine cup away, chuckling dryly:

“Wine does not intoxicate people; people intoxicate themselves.

Just facing the Grand Enlightened True Immortal like this, I am already somewhat drunk, so let’s discuss proper business.”

“Mm,” Li Ping’an took out a Jade Talisman for recording, and glanced at the questions he had prepared in advance, “I wonder if Manager Sun has brought me the information I asked for.”

Sun Yingying smiled: “Of course, I wouldn’t dare to neglect this matter, as it is the foundation of our Happy Valley’s existence.”

“First question, recently Forge-Heaven Gate has been aggressively challenging the Wanyun Sect.

Is there a secret behind it?”

Sun Yingying nodded slightly: “There is, and this information is worth three Spirit Stones.”

“Three is too expensive.”

Li Ping’an shook his head and said firmly:

“We can roughly guess that Forge-Heaven Gate’s targeting us is because of the large order of magical artifacts by the Eastern Alliance.”

Sun Yingying picked up her palace fan and covered her mouth with a light laugh: “If you already know, why call me here, if not to just make fun of me?”

“It’s just, to get your confirmation,” Li Ping’an said, feigning realization, “Seeing your reaction, it indeed seems to be because of this issue.”

Sun Yingying’s mouth twitched slightly.

How can this man have such a strong need for revenge?

She merely exploited that Wanyun executor, Wei Yanzi, and now he had to say such a thing to reclaim his pride.

Sun Yingying smiled charmingly: “Do you have any other questions?”

“Of course,” Li Ping’an took out two storage rings, “I’ve prepared twenty Spirit Stones, it depends on whether Manager Sun has the skills to earn them back.”

Sun Yingying’s eyes immediately shone, and her posture filled with fighting spirit.

“Then please, ask your questions.”

“Mm,” Li Ping’an looked at the recording Jade Talisman, and spoke slowly, “Can you get your hands on the Forge-Heaven Gate’s financial records?”

“That, we definitely cannot.”

“How deep is the connection between Forge-Heaven Gate and Azure Sea Pavilion?”

“Explaining such a matter is also difficult…”

“The two families are indeed connected.”
