YANG LUJIA WAS certain about it.

He found that she was the Elder Sun Ling he had first met, not the one he was expecting to be.

The fatty once said that her daughter wasn't as friendly as this Elder Sun Ling that he had met. Moreover, she seemed to be in a hurry to find somebody, based on her facial expressions.

"Hey, have you heard that Elder Sun Ling of the Saber Path Sect has personally taken down the beasts that have been plaguing the other city for a long time now?" a man asked, chugging his wine with his other friend.

"Yeah! If only I were as strong as her, I would've already had the guts to propose a marriage to her. After all, who wouldn't want such a powerful, talented, and kind lady by their side? Moreover, she's the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life! Hahaha!" The other man laughed his ass off as he drank another shot of drink and placed his heavy hands on the table with a gratified face.

"So, she's been to another city?" Yang Lujia, sitting by the corner of the restaurant he had just entered, said.

"Nearby city, huh? So, it wasn't this one? That makes it suspicious again. Albeit it could only faintly magnify my doubts, it was still enough for me to guess that she must have arrived here after being notified that I was going to see her."

Changing his physical appearance to a middle-aged man, Yang Lujia went to the table with the men whom he had heard about Elder Sun Ling.

"Hey, brothers, do you mind if you tell me more about Elder Sun Ling? I'll give you two high-grade spirit stones each!"

They almost puked out the wine they had already imbibed and stared at Yang Lujia with wide eyes.

While Yang Lujia's face remained nonchalant, he was a little inwardly surprised by their reactions. However, after reading those textbooks from the sect, he knew that spirit stones were apparently graded as inferior, middle, high, and peak. The denser the qi within them, the better their quality and the higher their grade would be.

However, to ordinary people like these men, a single high-grade stone was already equivalent to an enormous wealth to them. He forgot this time as he was too focused on Elder Sun Ling's movement, but he went with it. Since he had already said so, it was already too late for him to swallow his words back.

"Are you serious, brother?" one of them asked. "You know, we can also tell that you yearn for Elder Sun Ling's beauty, but you don't need to pay us anything."

"You're too kind," Yang Lujia said with a smile, thinking that it was rare for someone not to covet such treasures. "Anyway…" He tossed two high-grade spirit stones to each of them and asked. "Can you tell me about her now?"

"Certainly!" the men chorused.

They then hurriedly put away the spirit stones and began talking to Yang Lujia.

"Brother, Elder Sun Ling, as you know, is the daughter of the Saber Path Sect Master and a once-in-a-lifetime genius. At the age of less than 100, she has already become a Saint even with even limited resources," a man excitedly said. "It was even said that the sons of the other sect masters could not defeat her neither their geniuses could. That's how talented she is!"

"So, she's a genius in this place," Yang Lujia mumbled and asked a question. "What about her personality? Do you know much about how she approaches people or men?"

Then, they all sighed at his question.

"Why?" Yang Lujia asked.

"It's because she's rather cold to people and rarely talks or interacts with some of us. Well, it's not like we deserve her attention, though. Another genius from the other regions would probably be the only ones who would catch her eye."

"Have you seen her smile then?"

They all shook their heads. Then, one of them added, "Brother, I also have to remind you that even those powerful geniuses from the other sects here in the Third Region did not receive her recognition. She's extremely cold to men, especially."

"I see," Yang Lujia replied, while most of his attention was still on Elder Sun Ling. "It seems like what you're telling me is the truth."

"Of course, it's true, brother!" one man said.

"Alright, thank you for the information," Yang Lujia said as he temporarily restricted their moments for a moment before he disappeared, back with his face as Cao Nima. "I don't know, but I'm going to wait until she finds me."

Yang Lujia waited on a bench. While his eyes were closed, his attention was still on her. When she was about to approach him, he retracted his mental power and opened his eyes. "You're here."

"Dum Gai!" she cheerfully called, clinging herself to the guy as though no one was watching them and as if they were already close enough for her to do this.

'Why is she acting this way toward me?' Yang Lujia thought. 'Moreover, there was a strange but fragrant scent that could most probably lead men to believe that she wanted to have sex with them. This is weird. Although it doesn't have any effect on me, it's still bothersome.'

"Hey, brat! Who do you think you are?" a man, who looked like a young master from a renowned family, approached their post. "Why are you clinging onto Ms. Sun?! Fuck! Don't get too close to her—"

'Oh, a brat?'

Ignoring him, Yang Lujia brought Elder Sun Ling outside the city grounds. He then looked at her with eyes neither nonchalant nor discerning. They were incomprehensible to the other party, but Yang Lujia was thinking about the scent she had on her.

"It's good that we already transferred her to your sect. Report to me when something happens," the fatty said to another man using a token from the Blue Scale Sect. "Otherwise, he might realize that my daughter is a spy, or rather, we will make him believe that she is the real other one.

"Now, we're just going to lead him into a trap and surprise him to weaken his overall prowess. I bet he has several treasures on him. Although he was strong, I don't believe we could not defeat him together. Moreover, that poisonous scent should work after a few hours. By then, we will attack him together."

"Understood," an almost-lifeless voice rang from the other end.

"Good."
