Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"Of course not, it's just because of the Five Thunder Sect and the Crimson Fire Sect that they are so strict now," Wen Lingyu replied through telepathy.
We finally arrived at the top of the mountain, which means we've entered the core area of the Crimson Fire Sect.
Wen Lingyu continued walking without stopping, leading Ye Feng into her cultivation cave.
But before Wen Lingyu could sit down to rest, a clear voice came from outside.
"Chixia, I didn't expect you to be back so soon."
A figure walked in gracefully. It was a woman wearing a green gauze dress and a jade hairpin in her hair.
Her outfit appears to be a fresh and innocent style, but she exudes a strong sense of allure.
Wen Lingyu seemed to have a bad relationship with this woman, because as soon as she entered, Wen Lingyu said coldly, "Bizhu, what are you doing here?"
"Can't I even come to see you? I heard you were back, so I rushed over to see you. Your coldness makes me very sad," Fairy Bizhu said with a smile.
"Are we that familiar?" Wen Lingyu asked back.
“We used to be like sisters, how come you’re so distant from me now? Sigh, it seems people really do change. Ever since you became the sect leader’s disciple, you’ve looked down on me.” Fairy Bizhu sighed, putting on an act as if Wen Lingyu had wronged her.
Wen Lingyu frowned and said, "I've been traveling for several days and I'm very tired. Don't bother me here. You should leave quickly; I need to rest."
"Rest? I think you're just itching to..."
"The fairy Bizhu smiled and looked at Yefeng."
Then Fairy Bizhu gracefully approached Yefeng, her beautiful eyes curiously scanning his body.
Sensing the disguised Qi Realm aura emanating from the night breeze, Fairy Bizhu chuckled: "Chixia, so many senior and junior brothers in the sect are fond of you, but I never expected you to bring back a man from outside. If they find out, they will definitely be heartbroken."
"My affairs are none of your business, and you have no right to interfere," Wen Lingyu said angrily.
Wen Lingyu was a little angry and a little worried.
She was afraid that Fairy Bizhu would anger Yefeng, because Fairy Bizhu didn't know Yefeng's true identity, but Wen Lingyu knew it perfectly well!
But Wen Lingyu was clearly overthinking it. How could Ye Feng possibly lose his composure over such a trivial matter?
"So you are Fairy Bizhu. Fairy Chixia mentioned you to me. She said you are as beautiful as a fairy and that you are the most beautiful woman in the Crimson Fire Sect," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Fairy Bizhu was overjoyed, but Wen Lingyu was stunned.
Wen Lingyu truly hadn't expected that Ye Feng, a living saint who had entered the Saint Realm, could be so engrossed in his role, acting just like a lowly servant flattering someone!
"You really know how to talk. No wonder Chixia took a liking to you. Your mouth is truly unmatched." Fairy Bizhu said with a smile, and even raised her slender hand to pinch Yefeng's face.
Ye Feng immediately took two steps back, pretending to be flattered.
"Oh my, why are you shy? By the way, what's your name?" Fairy Bizhu asked with a smile.
"My name is... Night Wind," Night Wind said, feigning nervousness.
Fairy Bizhu chuckled, then turned to Wen Lingyu and said, "Chixia, I didn't expect the little servant you chose to be so innocent. So that's your taste!"
Wen Lingyu's cheeks flushed slightly, then she snapped, "Enough nonsense, get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"Okay, okay, I'll leave now. I won't bother you anymore, alright?"
After speaking, Fairy Bizhu glanced at the night wind again before finally swaying her hips and gracefully departing.
As soon as Fairy Bizhu left, Wen Lingyu waved his hand sharply, and the stone door of the cave slammed shut, creating a barrier that separated the inside from the outside.
"I'm sorry, Senior Ye," Wen Lingyu said.
"You don't need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong."
Night Breeze waved his hand dismissively and said.
Seeing that the night wind had returned to normal, Wen Lingyu secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.
I never expected Senior Ye to be such a good actor. How could his acting skills be so superb?
Isn't this the first time he's done this?
Wen Lingyu stopped thinking about it and shook her head to banish the random thoughts in her mind. Then she looked at Ye Feng and said, "Senior Ye, tomorrow morning I will go to Madam Chi Huo to ask her about her cultivation problems and find an excuse to lure her away from her cultivation cave."
"After Madam Crimson Fire and I leave the cultivation cave, you will enter her cave and take the Five Thunder Token."
Night Wind asked, "Such an important item as the Five Thunder Token, wouldn't Lady Crimson Fire carry it with her at all times?"
Wen Lingyu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ye, if you snatched a high-grade spiritual artifact from someone, but you couldn't decipher its secrets, and the artifact's owner was still alive, would you feel safe carrying it close to your body?"
Night Breeze's face showed a hint of understanding, and he nodded, saying, "That's true."
The artifact was stolen from someone else who is still alive, and most importantly, the user is unable to decipher the secrets within it.
Since that's the case, it's definitely not something you can carry around with you.
What if there are any restrictions or hidden dangers inside the magical artifact?
Therefore, Lady Crimson Fire would definitely not carry the Five Thunder Token with her, but would keep it in her cultivation cave!
"Lady Crimson Fire's cultivation cave has restrictions. If you forcibly break the restrictions, it may attract her attention."
At this point, Wen Lingyu took out a jade pendant and handed it to Ye Feng: "This is the jade pendant that Madam Chi Huo gave me. With this jade pendant, you can enter her cultivation cave without any hindrance."
"You only have one of these jade pendants, right?" Ye Feng asked.
Wen Lingyu nodded.
“If you give it to me now, what will you do? Tomorrow you won’t be able to use this jade pendant to enter Lady Crimson Fire’s cultivation cave. If she becomes suspicious, things will get complicated,” Ye Feng said.
"I'll try to come up with a reasonable excuse," Wen Lingyu said.
"No need."
Ye Feng smiled, examined the jade pendant, and said, "The array in this jade pendant is not complicated. I can make an exact replica of it."
"Senior Ye, you also know how to forge weapons?" Wen Lingyu asked in surprise.
A person's energy is limited. If you try to learn too much, you may know a little about everything, but you won't be proficient in everything, and it may even slow down your cultivation speed.
Night Wind had previously refined elixirs for Wen Yijun, something Wen Lingyu had heard Wen Yijun mention.
Therefore, Wen Lingyu knew that Ye Feng was an alchemist.
Therefore, Wen Lingyu naturally assumed that since Ye Feng knew alchemy, he must not know weapon crafting.
