I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Liou Yuan’s notoriety is growing day by day in the Outer Sect, especially after the Spirit Ascension Platform incident, hardly anyone in both the Outer and Inner Sect doesn’t know his name.

The bearded man is quite pleased to see that this daring enough to kill Liou Tao has joined the Disciplinary Hall.

Liou Yuan might be a subject of fear elsewhere.

But it’s different in the Disciplinary Hall, where disciples live on the edge, and need daring people like Liou Yuan.

"I won’t disappoint Brother’s expectations." Liou Yuan took his waist badge from the bearded man, bowed, and laughed twice, then strode out of the Wind Chasing Division under the latter’s watchful eye.

Just before stepping out the Wind Chasing Division door.

A figure clad in a blood-red dress appeared suddenly in the passage ahead.

The evil qi emanating from this woman made even the disciples in the Disciplinary Hall few can compare to her.

Liou Yuan had just stepped out from the Wind Chasing Division and was caught off guard seeing her, astonishment in both their eyes.

"Yan Yingsi!" Liou Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the visitor.

This was the same Yan Yingsi he met at Erosion Land, the first in this Outer Sect training exercise.

She was also part of the Disciplinary Hall, so her presence here was unsurprising.

Although Liou Yuan was delayed practicing swordsmanship and arranging formations at Erosion Land, she surpassed him in Stone Skill, proving her not to be ordinary.

"Liou Yuan!" At the sight of him.

Yan Yingsi, a woman with a mix of captivating allure and icy cool demeanor, smirked, speaking with mockery.

"Are you here to take a bounty task?"

Though it was a question, she already knew the answer.

Those who came from the Wind Chasing Division were either part of it or Outer Sect disciples taking bounty tasks.

She drew closer to Liou Yuan, seemingly familiar, words dripping with ridicule:

"Those being hunted by our Wind Chasing Division are no simple villains. Don’t end up dead outside before the Chaotic Scene meeting in a year’s time."

"Hey, Mr. Yan is living just fine." Liou Yuan wasn’t about to lose verbally, smiling on the surface, anyone could sense the confrontation between them.

Theirs was no conflict of interest, nor hatred or spite, just clashing temperaments.

Neither willing to back down, their meeting was filled with tension.

"That’s because I’m stronger than you." Yan Yingsi chuckled, coldness in her eyes.

"Not necessarily stronger than me." Liou Yuan retorted, his palm resting on the Canglan Sword, eager for a conflict.

The Five Extremes Mountain’s fierce demeanor often led its disciples to fight over mere disagreements.

Now, two hotheads were on the verge of a scuffle.

"What are you doing?" The bearded man’s loud voice suddenly echoed from behind.

He had seen the two encounters from afar at the Wind Chasing Division entrance, realizing they were about to fight, hurriedly stepped in to intervene.

"Liou Yuan, younger brother, got recommended by Lao Xiuyuan, and is heading out to complete the remaining procedures."

The bearded man directed his words toward Yan Yingsi, critiquing, "Once he completes the entrance procedures, you’ll be colleagues, meeting frequently, don’t make the relationship too strained."

The bearded man was odd, clearly only at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, his Spiritual Qi appeared weak to Liou Yuan, certainly no match for Yan Yingsi.

Yet, facing the bearded man’s reprimand, the rebellious Yan Yingsi surprisingly listened, without any displeasure.

Instead, upon hearing about Liou Yuan joining the Disciplinary Hall, Yan Yingsi’s eyes narrowed, smiling with an ambiguous gaze.

"This kid wants in on the Wind Chasing Division?"

"And recommended by Lao Xiuyuan." The bearded man nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Brother Xiuyuan left a recommendation letter before retreating."

"Kid, the Wind Chasing Division isn’t easy to mix in, you might end up dead outside without anyone collecting your body." Though Yan Yingsi’s words were harsh, unexpectedly, they carried an odd sense of goodwill that even surprised Liou Yuan.

Nevertheless, Liou Yuan didn’t back down, responding begrudgingly, "I’ve killed so many, haven’t seen anyone fiercer than me. I’m coming in regardless."

Seeing a fight wasn’t happening, Liou Yuan was too lazy to bother further with her, patting the Canglan Sword at his waist, he shot out of the Disciplinary Hall using the Treading Flowing Waves.

Leaving the intriguing smiles of Yan Yingsi and the bearded man behind.

"Why are you pushing him away? Our Wind Chasing Division is already short of people." The bearded man was puzzled about their relationship.

Clearly full of tension a moment ago, suddenly Yan Yingsi seemed ’concerned’ about Liou Yuan.

"Uncle, I’m helping you. This kid doesn’t like restrictions, he’ll cause trouble later." Yan Yingsi called the bearded man "uncle."

Uncle’s expressionless face cracked a smile with displeasure, "Right now, you’re the most troublesome in the Wind Chasing Division."

"If you were more peaceful day-to-day, I could wake up smiling."

The unexpected encounter with Yan Yingsi was merely a small episode.

Liou Yuan wouldn’t mind testing his skills against her.

Now, his swordsmanship has reached Great Success, Sword Qi born, and Blood Imperial Spell’s Red Tide skill can be cast.

Even without using Jade Pivot Finger or Evil Eyes as killing strikes.

He could truly fight without fear against this infamous Yan Yingsi of the Outer Sect.

However, with someone intervening, Liou Yuan couldn’t be bothered to waste time, even winning wouldn’t earn him a Spirit Crystal.

Instead, it would impede his return to Qingyou Prefecture.

"If I truly join the Wind Chasing Division later, I’ll be regularly dealing with that mad woman Yan Yingsi." Thinking of her brought a frown to Liou Yuan’s face.

If they met every few days, whether him or Yan Yingsi, they would surely end up fighting.

At such times, instead of catching villains, they’d be busy fighting, causing chaos in the Wind Chasing Division.

"Hmph! This kind of woman needs to be beaten into submission," Liou Yuan thought with malicious amusement.
