Since the 【Basic Stance Exercise】 has initially succeeded, there is no point in staying outside anymore.
Li Yun decisively walked back.
He soon passed the hillside where the two youths had been practicing earlier.
Seeing that the two youths who were practicing were no longer there, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to find another excuse to get closer and gain some cognition, but there was nothing.
He could only go back first.
He had just returned to the large courtyard.
Before entering the house, he was called out.
"Li Yun!"
"You're finally back. Come on, hurry and go with me to see the Deacon Chuan Wu."
It was Gu Yunzheng again.
This guy actually brought over a dozen people again to block his path.
Li Yun didn't like to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either.
A sect like the Tianwu Sect, which could be ranked among the Four Top Sects in the East Cloud Continent, was very strict about rules.
No one could cause trouble casually.
Disciples could practice with each other, but other than that, anyone who dared to attack without reason would be sent to the Criminal Law Hall in minutes.
"Heh, why is it you again?"
"I say, are you just full and bored, causing trouble for no reason?"
"And what are you? You tell me to go with you to see the Deacon Chuan Wu, and I have to go? Do you think you're that important?"
Just two or three sentences, and Gu Yunzheng was immediately angered red in the Face by Li Yun again.
"You... how dare you, you actually dare to speak to me like that?"
"I am the Chief of Ren 95 Courtyard!"
Li Yun didn't mind hearing this, but as soon as he heard it, he laughed even more unrestrainedly: "So what if you're the Chief? Does that mean I have to listen to you?"
"Which sect rule says that?"
"You... you..."
Gu Yunzheng was immediately choked up again, not knowing how to retort.
In fact.
The Chief of a courtyard was just a nominal position.
It had no actual power; the sect rules didn't even specify this position.
How could Gu Yunzheng retort to that?
He couldn't!
"Get out of the way..."
"This young master is tired, I'm going back to my room. A good dog doesn't block the road."
Taking this opportunity.
Li Yun simply pushed Gu Yunzheng away and walked straight to the door.
This angered Gu Yunzheng and the others so much that their eyes shot sparks, but they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
But just then—
A young man in his twenties walked into the large courtyard.
As soon as Gu Yunzheng and the others saw this person, their Faces lit up with joy, and they all ran towards the young man.
"Affairs Overseer Xu..."
"You're finally here. This Disciple asked Li Yun to come with us to see you, but he refused and had an arrogant attitude."
Affairs Overseer Xu Qing, the Deacon Chuan Wu?
Li Yun was also stunned for a moment, but his mind raced, and he still walked over on his own initiative.
Here, each courtyard only had one Deacon Chuan Wu, similar to a homeroom teacher in his previous life. They might not have great power, but it was quite easy for them to make things difficult for someone.
Li Yun was not a hothead; there was no need for him to offend Xu Qing.
"Affairs Overseer Xu, you're here?"
Xu Qing nodded faintly: "Li Yun, I asked Gu Yunzheng to call you, why didn't you come?"
"Affairs Overseer Xu, this Disciple is wronged."
"This Disciple went out for a walk and had just returned when they, over a dozen of them, blocked me. Each one was fiercer than the last. This Disciple thought they were looking for an excuse to bully me... I didn't expect that Affairs Overseer Xu, you were actually looking for me!"
"May I ask, Affairs Overseer Xu, what instructions do you have for this Disciple?"
Looking at Li Yun's wronged expression, Xu Qing couldn't help but glare fiercely at Gu Yunzheng and the others. And honestly, with that setup... Li Yun was alone, while Gu Yunzheng was surrounded by over a dozen people. Who wouldn't be scared looking at that?
"Gu Yunzheng, what is this about?"
"I just asked you to notify Li Yun, why are you bringing so many people?"
"What kind of behavior is this?"
"Those not involved, immediately disperse. Go do whatever you're supposed to do. Don't let the Criminal Law Hall patrol see you later and misunderstand what you're doing, then arrest all of you and take you to the Criminal Law Hall. I won't be able to speak for you."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Except for Gu Yunzheng, the other dozen people scattered as if fleeing.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Yunzheng became a lone wolf.
How he hated it in his heart.
"Affairs Overseer Xu... this guy Li Yun is slandering me. We weren't fierce to him at all, and besides, it was clearly him who kept deliberately lingering around me."
"Stealing my Basic Stance, and affecting my cultivation."
"He still refuses to admit it..."
Gu Yunzheng's eyes were a little red, feeling an unprecedented sense of grievance.
If he didn't make Li Yun get a lecture today.
His Face would be completely lost. Who would take him seriously as the Chief in the future?
As for Xu Qing, he still had a good impression of Gu Yunzheng.
This guy had a good background, a solid family fortune, and rarely, he also had first-grade Aptitude, which was a natural Martial Dao Genius.
Such a person had a very high chance of reversing the Postnatal state to the Innate state and being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple within three years.
Therefore, he appointed Gu Yunzheng as the Chief of Ren 95 Courtyard to encourage him a bit.
Now seeing Gu Yunzheng looking like he had suffered a great injustice, he couldn't help but soften his heart a little and turned to look at Li Yun.
"Li Yun, you heard that too?"
"How do you explain?"
Li Yun was well prepared for this.
He smiled faintly.
"Affairs Overseer Xu, Gu Yunzheng's words are pure nonsense."
"This Disciple was tired from cultivating and walked around the courtyard. I didn't even say half a sentence extra, how did that affect someone else's cultivation?"
"As for stealing his Basic Stance, that's even more... Alas!"
Li Yun glanced at Gu Yunzheng, suddenly walked to the side, and without a word, directly performed the 【Basic Stance Exercise】.
Xu Qing and Gu Yunzheng were instantly confused by Li Yun's action.
They didn't understand what Li Yun meant by this.
But as Li Yun performed the Basic Stance, moving from the first stance, to the second... seamlessly connecting and transitioning one after another.
Xu Qing's expression changed.
And he shivered.
He suddenly discovered that Li Yun's Basic Stance was very standard from the first stance, arguably no less inferior to Gu Yunzheng's.
Such a standard Basic Stance was actually performed smoothly all the way to the seventh stance, and then smoothly continued, followed by the eighth stance...
"Impossible!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Yunzheng blurted out immediately.
But Li Yun didn't pay attention to him, single-mindedly immersed in his own Basic Stance. He found that as he performed his Basic Stance, some new insights appeared in his mind.
The System also reacted.
【Cultivate Basic Stance Exercise, Cognition Point +1】
【Cultivate Basic Stance Exercise, Cognition Point +1】
【……】
After the twelve stances were completely finished, the cognition points increased by a full 5 points.
Although not much, it was a clear gain.
It reassured Li Yun that if he couldn't find an object to observe in the future, he wouldn't be unable to get any cognition points by cultivating on his own.
But at this moment, he didn't pay attention to these.
After finishing the twelve stances, he turned and looked at Gu Yunzheng.
"Gu Yunzheng!"
"My Basic Stance has initially succeeded, and you haven't even completed the seventh stance yet. Please tell me, what do I need to steal from you?"
"Steal your self-importance?"
"Or steal your strutting around like a human-dog with your followers?"
