"Senior Li?"
The middle-aged female cultivator hurriedly looked toward the blue-robed figure. At the sight of him, she immediately lowered her head. "Greetings, Senior Li."
Good heavens, a Core Formation True Person had actually come.
Could this Core Formation True Person have taken a fancy to Meng Wanjun too?
Two Core Formation True Persons fighting over her... At that moment, jealousy soured the middle-aged woman's heart. We're all female cultivators. Why aren't those two seniors fighting over me?
Facing the delighted Meng Wanjun and the deferential middle-aged woman, Li Ping gave a slight nod.
Then he said mildly, "I heard at the tea house that someone was bullying you, so I came specifically to take a look. What happened?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the middle-aged woman as well. Under the pressure of Li Ping's powerful aura, her face grew somewhat pale.
So Senior Li has been quietly looking out for me all along. Meng Wanjun felt enveloped in immense happiness, and a joyful smile unconsciously spread across her face.
She immediately recounted everything that had happened, leaving nothing out.
Not long ago, she had needed pills for her cultivation and had been forced to leave seclusion to find a Pill Refiner to refine them for her. A Ridgefort disciple who was also waiting for pills had spotted her and passed information about her to the sect's grand elder.
That grand elder of Ridgefort was notoriously lecherous.
After learning of Meng Wanjun's beauty and background from his disciple, he had immediately sought to force her to become his concubine.
Whether he coveted her beauty, her inheritance, or both, Meng Wanjun herself was not entirely sure.
As she recounted the events, Meng Wanjun spoke very carefully, emphasizing that she had absolutely no desire to become that Ridgefort Core
