Chapter 355: Such Boldness
"Indeed."
"Let’s split it into two parts according to Junior Sister's notes."
Liu Yu nodded slightly, expressing his approval of the girl, his words laced with sincere praise.
Then, he shifted the topic and said, "For the part that remains, Junior Sister should find a way to convert it into spiritual stones as soon as possible, and try to leave no traces."
"As for the portion that should be submitted to the sect, put it all into the storage bag."
"Once the news from Jinxing Bazaar comes through, I will personally take it to the elders of the sect."
These resources, worth ten thousand spiritual stones, belonged to the gray area of illicit income and must be "concealed from the sect." Converting them into spiritual stones was no simple task.
However, he chose to trust Jiang Qiushui; over the years, she had rarely disappointed him.
Moreover, with the Primordial Spirit Restriction and their close physical communication, she could also be trusted.
"Autumn Water understands, and will take care of everything."
Receiving his affirmation, Jiang Qiushui revealed a bright smile, replying sweetly.
She cared a lot about Liu Yu's opinion and enjoyed the feeling of being trusted by him.
Next, the two discussed some specific matters, and Liu Yu provided guidance on her cultivation issues.
Ignoring her gaze filled with resentment, he ruthlessly asked her to leave the cave dwelling.
After sending Jiang Qiushui away, Liu Yu was about to enter the training room to cultivate when a sudden noise came from outside the cave.
"Disciple has urgent matters to report, requesting to see Shishu Qingyang!"
A sect disciple shouted from outside the cave.
Liu Yu recognized this voice; it belonged to one of the several disciples he had sent to Jinxing Bazaar to gather information, whom he had trained before.
Cultivators had remarkable memories, and it had only been about a month, so he certainly wouldn't forget so quickly.
“Come in!”
He transmitted his voice using divine sense.
“Boom!”
As his words fell, the formation's power surrounding the stone gate dissipated, and the stone door slowly opened.
"Disciple sees Shishu Qingyang!"
"Not disappointing Shishu's expectations, I have gathered news from Jinxing Bazaar."
"About half a month ago, the sect's main force has already captured Jinxing Bazaar, and it is now basically under our control!"
After bowing, the disciple respectfully stated.
In this turbulent situation, traveling such a long distance to gather information was no easy feat; he had evident signs of fatigue on his face.
"Has the information been verified?"
"Can it be confirmed for accuracy?"
Liu Yu asked as his gaze flickered.
"Replying to Shishu, the information is absolutely true!"
"To verify the authenticity, I personally entered Jinxing Bazaar and have already contacted the sect."
"However, my level is too low to obtain more and more accurate information."
The disciple lowered his head and answered truthfully.
"Mm."
Liu Yu nodded slightly, saying, "You've done well; go find Junior Sister Jiang and claim your reward, just say it was arranged by me."
He was never stingy with rewards for cultivators who contributed.
"Yes, Shishu Qingyang!"
"The disciple takes his leave!"
The disciple's eyes could hardly hide his joy as he quietly exited the cave dwelling.
After all the effort he had put forth, besides serving the sect, wasn't it just to get this reward a step ahead of others?
"The sect has already captured Jinxing Bazaar; it seems they won't be pausing for long."
"It looks like I need to depart quickly, report to the elders, and also inquire with my affordable master to see when our team will set out."
Liu Yu thought quickly.
Although the team had grown stronger, he still had to be cautious; otherwise, he might unexpectedly meet his demise.
The previous smoothness was merely due to surprise; White Cloud Temple had not reacted yet.
He would not naively believe that everything would continue this smoothly.
The opponent was a Yuan Ying sect that dominated two continents, not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; they would not sit idly by!
