Starting Cultivation During a Trip
Chapter 601 - 294: The Awakening of Lin Jianyue! Zhang Fan and Li Miaoyin
Mortal world hears of Dao attainment, Profound Sect listens to Miaoyin.
As the words "nice to meet you" lingered in the air, that white silhouette gradually overlapped with the figure Zhang Fan saw last night.
Li Miaoyin’s lips curved slightly, that faint and elusive smile on her exquisite face seemed to hide a playful tease.
"What’s up with Mr. Zhang?" Li Miaoyin stared at Zhang Fan and whispered softly.
"Zhang Fan..." Li Yishan coughed lightly, looking at Zhang Fan with a peculiar expression.
"Oh, hello."
Zhang Fan came to his senses, raised his hand to shake hands with Li Miaoyin.
"Hmm!?"
At the moment of contact, Zhang Fan felt the other party exert a slight force, gripping his hand lightly, while a bold sparkle flashed in her bright eyes.
"Please sit down."
Zhang Fan tightened his expression, followed by retrieving his hand.
"Miaoyin, my friend just happened to pass by, isn’t that quite the coincidence?" Li Yishan quickly said.
"Having a meal together, you don’t mind, right?"
"I don’t mind."
Li Miaoyin shook her head, revealing a generous smile.
"Getting to know a new friend, I am all for it."
As she spoke, Li Miaoyin looked at Zhang Fan with interest and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang does?"
"He is..."
"I am currently unemployed!" Zhang Fan replied calmly.
With Night is not bright temporarily closed, even the boss got in trouble, leaving him without a proper job.
"Yishan, your family is big and wealthy, can’t you help a friend out? I see Mr. Zhang as a reliable person, joining your family wouldn’t be bad." Li Miaoyin shifted the topic suddenly.
"This..." Li Yishan raised an eyebrow.
"Old Li and I have been friends since childhood, let’s not talk about that." Zhang Fan replied casually.
"What did Mr. Zhang study? I have some friends in Yujing City, perhaps I can give a recommendation." Li Miaoyin appeared extremely enthusiastic.
"I didn’t learn much, during university, I failed courses year after year, and since graduation, I’ve accomplished nothing." Zhang Fan replied offhandedly.
"I heard from elders that doing things is like being a person, not necessarily a Great Success..."
"Progress may not always be great, but steps can be steady, reaching great heights is possible."
"I see Mr. Zhang as a composed person."
"Does Miss Li know how to read faces?"
"Reading faces is essentially reading people."
Zhang Fan and Li Miaoyin continued their conversation seamlessly, with Li Yishan sitting beside them, looking increasingly odd, like an outsider.
"Mouse, mouse, squeak, squeak, ox, ox, moo, moo, tiger, tiger..."
At this moment, a melodious ringtone, reminiscent of a nursery rhyme, sounded.
Li Yishan took out his phone and glanced at it.
"Continue chatting, I’m going to take a call."
With that, he took his phone, stood up, and headed outside the café.
"Who are you really?"
Zhang Fan suddenly turned his tone, sharp gaze like a knife, looking at Li Miaoyin.
"There’s a saying, out of ten Zhangs, nine are Daoists. You certainly lived up to your surname...tsk tsk, in Yujing City, there’s another adept like you. Among Daoist Sects worldwide, I’ve heard of saplings your age, but none like you."
Li Miaoyin eyed Zhang Fan with a half-smile.
"Last night was left unfinished, what, do you still want to teach me a lesson?" Zhang Fan replied indifferently.
"Fang Changle’s Daoist Skill is rather weak, yet he has a good friend to thank for saving his life." Li Miaoyin whispered.
"I know about your grudge with him; it’s not an irreversible enmity. Last night you nearly destroyed his Dao Practice."
It was merely a dispute over a Spirit Talisman, not a matter of life and death at stake.
"Haven’t you ever heard the saying?" Li Miaoyin changed her tone, speaking casually.
"What?"
"Possessing a weapon stirs the intent to kill."
"My Dao Technique is unimpeded. If I can’t be free of restraint, how can my thoughts be open?" Li Miaoyin chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan’s eyes slightly narrowed, seeing this woman as bold as concealed blades.
"Do you think I’m vicious and ruthless, a great villain?"
Li Miaoyin suddenly leaned closer to Zhang Fan, her eyes directly meeting his, accompanied by a light fragrance.
Zhang Fan was momentarily at a loss and instinctively leaned back.
"More or less."
"Thank you for the compliment." Li Miaoyin’s smile on her pretty face got even brighter.
"Who complimented you?"
"Haven’t you heard, great villains must be wise and brave; an incompetent person can’t commit evil."
"..."
"You certainly have a unique perspective."
"How’s that Maoshan Inheritor from your family doing?" Li Miaoyin laughed, observing Zhang Fan’s reaction.
"Thrilling but safe, successfully promoted...but you certainly angered him, in a fit of rage..."
"Raged again?" Li Miaoyin interjected.
"..."
"He plans to search the entire Yujing City to find you in his rage." Zhang Fan said gravely.
In his view, the grudge between Li Miaoyin and Fang Changle wasn’t beyond resolution.
Fang Changle took advantage of her, copied her path, and stole that Spirit Talisman.
Li Miaoyin struck when Fang Changle was in seclusion, attempting a breakthrough, but ultimately, it was a close call.
Thinking it over, Fang Changle had benefited a little, so it wasn’t an irresolvable life-and-death enmity, and Zhang Fan was not keen on intervening.
"I see."
As she spoke, Li Miaoyin took out her phone, opened the QR code for Supersign, and placed it on the table, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Zhang Fan intently.
"What are you doing?"
"Add me on Supersign, later you can bring him to kill me."
"..."
"Are you okay?"
"Is it possible that you have tender feelings for me?" Li Miaoyin very openly returned Zhang Fan’s gaze, their eyes locked.
"What are you talking about, do you need someone to have tender feelings for you?"
