Chapter 2907: Chapter 2907
Ye Liuyun immediately averted his gaze, not daring to look any longer.
As for the woman’s cultivation level, he didn’t even dare to attempt sensing it. He had already learned from experience that elite disciples were highly alert.
But what he didn’t expect was that the woman’s perception was even sharper—she noticed instantly. She immediately threw on her clothes and charged straight toward Ye Liuyun’s residence.
With a deafening *boom*, the woman blasted the courtyard gate of Ye Liuyun’s villa clean off its hinges.
“How dare you spy on me?! Get out here now!” she roared from outside.
Ye Liuyun had been using his Golden Pupils to observe other villas and hadn’t paid further attention to the woman, so her sudden attack startled him.
He quickly activated his Golden Pupils again and saw that it was indeed the same woman storming his doorstep.
*Oh no! She noticed me—this woman is way too vigilant!* His heart pounded in alarm.
But quick thinking saved him. He immediately summoned Lei Ming, letting the beast assume its true form to take the blame before rushing out to open the door. Meanwhile, Lei Ming shrank down and perched on Ye Liuyun’s shoulder, its golden eyes gleaming.
Using the Thousand Illusions technique, Ye Liuyun had altered his appearance to resemble Tang Xiaofeng, his pupils now indistinguishable from an ordinary person’s.
“Senior Sister, please calm your anger!” The moment the door opened, Ye Liuyun bowed in apology.
At the same time, Lei Ming’s golden eyes locked onto the woman’s core, transmitting a mental message to Ye Liuyun: *"Early-stage Unity Realm, first tier!"*
The woman had been furious, ready to strike Ye Liuyun down with a single palm strike. But the moment she felt Lei Ming’s gaze, her hand froze midair.
*Was it this beast who saw me, not this brat?* she wondered silently.
Ye Liuyun seized the moment to explain, “It must be my pet’s fault again! Senior Sister, did you sense someone watching you?”
The woman quickly realized it wasn’t Ye Liuyun who had been peeping at her, but that beast.
For a moment, she hesitated, feeling a little impulsive for blasting open Ye Liuyun’s courtyard gate without getting the full story.
Meanwhile, Leiming was grumbling at Ye Liuyun through a mental transmission: *"You’re the one who got caught ogling, and now you’re pinning it on me? Hmph! Just wait till I tell Miss Liang and the others—they’ll deal with you!"*
Ye Liuyun had no time to respond to her. He was too busy explaining himself to the woman, worried she might attack again.
"You know your beast is unusual—why don’t you keep it under control?"
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s sincere attitude and understanding the situation, the woman’s anger quickly dissipated. Still, she wasn’t sure how to handle the wrecked gate.
"My name is Tang Xiaofeng. I’ve only recently joined the inner sect. May I ask your name, Senior Sister?" Ye Liuyun asked politely.
The woman finally took a proper look at him and replied, "I’m Tang Qianyu. Since it was your pet’s fault, I won’t hold it against you. But as for the gate..."
Ye Liuyun immediately cut in, "I’ll take full responsibility for my beast’s actions!"
By now, a crowd of onlookers had gathered. The woman who lived in the courtyard to his right had also stepped out. After hearing Ye Liuyun’s explanation, she realized her earlier suspicion had been correct—the Thunder Dragon Beast must have peeked at her too.
"Qianyu-jie," she called out, walking over.
"Xinyao," Tang Qianyu greeted her in return.
Tang Xinyao then smiled at Ye Liuyun. "I’m Tang Xinyao. Your pet sure knows how to stir up trouble—it took a peek at me too!"
"Senior Sister, I’m Tang Xiaofeng," Ye Liuyun quickly apologized. "I’m truly sorry! There was no one next door before, so when someone suddenly appeared, it must have gotten curious. It didn’t mean anything by it—please don’t misunderstand!"
Both Tang Qianyu and Tang Xinyao nodded, not holding it against him. But then Tang Xinyao asked, "So... can your Thunder Dragon Beast’s golden eyes see through things?"
"Yes!" Ye Liuyun could only nod in agreement.
Tang Qianyu took a closer look at Thunderclap and remarked offhandedly, "Your beast companion’s cultivation level is actually higher than yours!"
"Uh..." Ye Liuyun felt a little embarrassed by her comment. Though Tang Qianyu didn’t say it outright, he guessed she probably looked down on his own cultivation.
Thunderclap, however, playfully bobbed its head repeatedly at Tang Qianyu, making both her and Tang Xinyao burst into laughter.
"Then maybe we can take you along on our expeditions in the future?" Tang Xinyao tentatively asked Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected that pushing Thunderclap forward as a scapegoat would actually lead to such an unexpected benefit.
"In that case, I’ll thank you in advance for your guidance, Senior Sister!" he quickly replied.
Tang Xinyao waved her delicate hand dismissively and declared with a bold air, "No need for formalities! From now on, I’ll have your back in the inner sect. If anyone dares to bully you, just drop my name!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t know them well enough yet, so he could only offer perfunctory thanks for now.
Noticing his half-hearted response, Tang Xinyao deliberately made a show of authority. She planted her hands on her hips and shouted at the onlooking disciples nearby, "What are you all staring at? Looking for a beating, huh?"
She truly had influence. With just that one shout, the male disciples lingering around either scattered or averted their eyes, not daring to glance in their direction again.
Tang Xinyao even gave a haughty sniff, radiating an air of arrogance.
It seemed she wasn’t just boasting—she was probably a little tyrant in her daily life.
"Senior Sister is truly impressive!" Ye Liuyun had no choice but to flatter her a little.
"Alright, now that the matter’s settled, I’ll head back first!" Tang Qianyu casually patted Tang Xinyao on the shoulder, bid farewell to Ye Liuyun, and returned to her quarters to cultivate.
Ye Liuyun glanced at the shattered courtyard gate and let out a long sigh. He hadn’t expected that just a single look from his golden eyes would alert these people.
*"False alarm! The disciples of the Tang family’s inner sect are no pushovers—I’ll have to be more careful from now on!"* he reminded himself silently.
With that, Ye Liuyun took Lei Ming to the Administrative Hall to find someone to repair the gate. But when he arrived and presented his token, he was told he had no merit points stored in it.
The Tang family operated similarly to most sects—if you wanted work done, you had to pay in merit points. Since arriving here, he hadn’t undertaken any missions, so his token was empty.
Left with no choice, he hurried to the Mission Hall to see if there were any tasks that could quickly earn him points.
Currently, the highest-reward missions involved the theft of a certain planet. Next were assignments for disciples joining the expeditionary forces, where military achievements could be exchanged for points at a favorable rate. The remaining tasks—like exploring secret realms—weren’t likely to yield points anytime soon.
The only mission promising swift rewards required driving off or eliminating the Wan family’s elite forces stationed in the void. Detailed intel on these adversaries was even provided.
However, the Wan family’s warriors were numerous, some even reaching the first or second tier of the Guiyi realm. The recently returned expeditionary disciples hadn’t yet gathered enough manpower to take them on, so the mission remained unfulfilled.
After some thought, Ye Liuyun concluded that this was indeed the quickest way to earn the points he needed.
