Interesting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li looked Li Yunjing up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was quite handsome— with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a broad mouth, a straight nose, fair skin, a tall and muscular build—a very fine appearance indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just not sure if he's all looks and no substance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through his mind briefly. Steward Li then got off the carriage, instructing Li Yunjing to get down quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing lifted the curtain and leaped off the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his feet on the ground, he felt extremely secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he no longer felt the weakness from the previous night; Li Yunjing exuded a sharp aura typical of a martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad! A bit of external martial arts skills! And he's developed Qi sensitivity and found the path to cultivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li scrutinized him again, nodding slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a keen eye, Steward Li assessed Li Yunjing's background almost completely at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of clapping echoed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! Everyone rest here for a while!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li clapped his hands and spoke with a booming voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coachman immediately reined in the horses upon hearing Steward Li's orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten knights guarding them pulled the reins, making their steeds stop instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a grassy area over there; set up camp there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li pointed to the grassland on the right side of the dirt road and instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone responded, and the convoy stopped by a flat patch of grass as per his instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights began unloading food from the third carriage; some went to the forest to gather dry wood, while others carried buckets in search of water...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights were swift and skilled, clearly well-versed in wilderness survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go help out over there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li pointed at Li Yunjing and ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't a hint of politeness in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid's life was saved by him, after all, and it cost him a precious Spirit Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like this kid couldn't repay him; might as well make him work to feel better about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure! I'm on it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing responded cheerfully, with no strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saved his life, so why shouldn't he do some work to repay them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he would be eating with the Yu Family later—helping out would earn him more food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Li Yunjing would feel embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! This kid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li, hands behind his back, watched Li Yunjing run to the camp to help set up the cooking pot and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people set up tables and chairs, some washed ingredients, and others prepared the cooking utensils...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had clear duties, and soon, everything was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a few knights returned with cleaned rabbits and hazel grouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no slackers among them, the preparations were quickly completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing followed orders and blended in, assisting on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, all the ingredients were ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fragrant breeze blew, and the sound of delicate bells chimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing looked up to see a young girl skipping over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl wore a white dress, had a pair of braided pigtails, and her fresh face showed a bit of immaturity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jingling golden bells hung from her belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I'll take over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinning, the girl reached out and grabbed a kitchen knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started chopping the cleaned rabbits and hazel grouses on the counter with expert movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her actions were highly skilled, and soon the ingredients and spices were in the pot, stir-frying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, who is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, an enticing fragrance wafted out. Li Yunjing sidled up to a knight and asked familiarly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight frowned slightly, gave Li Yunjing a glance, and spoke gruffly, \"The young lady's maid, Ling'Er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! This little girl seems to have some training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Yunjing and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid was really something, trying to get information out of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like he could tell him that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We Yu Family knights are disciplined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing chuckled lightly, not embarrassed by the rejection at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spotted a relatively flat stone nearby, bent his knee, and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was nothing for him to do, Li Yunjing wouldn't pretend to be busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a straightforward person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange! After getting struck by lightning and sleeping for a night, why do I feel my body is even better now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a blade of grass in his mouth, Li Yunjing stared into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his mind had long wandered elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be because of Steward Li's Heart Protection Pill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various thoughts floated through Li Yunjing's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Li Yunjing wasn't someone who liked owing favors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a debt had to be repaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment, he had nothing—not even his clothes belonged to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would he repay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This feeling of owing someone a favor is really unpleasant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he didn't know that in his mind, a tiny bead, as small as a speck of dust, had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bead emitted a bright blue light, with tiny rays constantly flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These rays spread from Li Yunjing's sea of consciousness to other parts of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real reason he felt more energetic and stronger was this tiny bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the 'Heart Protection Pill'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, what are you up to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a light footstep approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was familiar—Steward Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Steward Li!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing quickly stood up. The aroma in the air became more enticing among the curling cooking smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that stewed hazel grouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing's straight nose twitched; the scent was even more mouth-watering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard, and his stomach growled. Only then did he realize he was a bit hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being struck by lightning last night, his belongings were reduced to ashes; he was out of money and food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having not eaten for a day and a night, how could he resist this aroma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, you'll have to wait a bit longer if you want to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li looked at Li Yunjing with a faint smile and said, \"Come with me to thank the young lady for saving your life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing straightened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally about to meet the benefactor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li gave a nasal sound, turned around, and walked slowly in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing followed obediently, like a little servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his energy restored, Li Yunjing's martial artist senses had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-09T04:39:26.597Z",1,"novelbin.me","573e420db54ce6cb9a2cdf910e3bfdf72bffd30bad20d3716451c6f04b03a4d1","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-4","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-154",1072,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-cover.jpg"]
