Ye Liang continued speaking.

"When it's time to be upright, I can be upright!"

"When I'm being wicked, I'm more wicked than anyone else!"

"Because my principles of being a person are simpler than any of yours."

I have my own sense of right and wrong.

Ye Liang's words stunned both the master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion and Lin Yan, the daughter of the Evil Sect.

Some of them seem impressive but are actually quite mysterious.

Ye Liang was right. They truly didn't understand his reasoning, and even if they did, they couldn't act according to it. After all, they were caught in the middle of it all, powerless to change their own destiny. They lacked Ye Liang's vision and courage to transcend the division between good and evil in the martial world and to see the whole picture. Ultimately, Ye Liang was never truly a part of this martial world from the start.

Therefore, naturally, Ye Liang will always be different from others.

Even though he has now gone from being the number one young master in the world to a disciple of the Bixian Sect, and can be considered a member of the martial arts world, the influence of not being a member of the martial arts world will still affect him for the rest of his life.

This makes him someone that people in the martial arts world, like the master of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and Lin Yan, the daughter of the Evil Sect, find incredible and act independently.

Even if they don't understand Ye Liang, that doesn't stop them from admiring him!

Ye Liang's words were insightful, wise, and full of life philosophy—the simplest truths are the most profound. They admired him!

The kind-hearted second senior sister came over to announce that dinner was ready, and Ye Liang immediately started preparing everyone for the meal.

Lin Yan was still hesitant to leave, but with Ye Liang there, she couldn't possibly leave.

If we let her go, wouldn't that break her heart?

At noon, Ye Liang personally hosted her and Uncle Gui.

Second Senior Sister and Junior Sister Wei Wenshi had already thoughtfully placed the food directly in Ye Liang's room.

As for taking care of the children, the senior female students helped Ye Liang take care of them at noon.

With Gui Bo around, Ye Liang even drank a few cups with him.

Ye Liang had other things to do in the afternoon, so he didn't drink much. However, Lin Yan and Gui Bo could still feel his hospitality, which made them feel right at home.

After lunch, Ye Liang made some arrangements, setting up a courtyard for Lin Yan and Gui Bo to rest. Then, Ye Liang informed his senior sister that their grandmaster was arriving and it would be appropriate to go out of the city to greet him. He then called Qin Shaoyang and hurriedly went out.

"Junior brother, let me go with you!" The eldest senior sister chased after him, suddenly feeling a little worried. If she, as the eldest disciple, didn't go to greet the grandmaster, would the grandmaster blame her for being disrespectful?

Ye Liang said, "Senior Sister, wait for me to send you a message. Qin and I will greet Master at the city gate, and then I will send you the message. At that time, Senior Sister can accompany Master and go out later to greet Master at the Song family's gate. That will be enough. If Master feels offended, then it is Master's fault. I will not tolerate him."

Qin Shaoyang immediately chimed in, "Brother Ye, Senior Sister, don't worry. My father is a generous man and won't mind these small things. Actually, if Brother Ye hadn't taken the initiative to invite me out of the city to welcome him, I, as his son, wouldn't have thought of going out to greet my father. I also felt that welcoming him at home would have been enough. It's Brother Ye who's being too formal, insisting on coming out of the city to welcome him."

Without Ye Liang needing to explain, his senior sister readily agreed, saying, "Junior brother is right. Qin's father is, after all, our grandmaster. We disciples should treat him with the utmost respect. Qin, don't worry. Follow my junior brother out of the city to welcome our grandmaster. If you receive any news, notify us immediately. Once we receive the news, we will immediately follow our master and wait at the Song family's gate to welcome our grandmaster."

"Yes, Senior Sister. Thank you so much, Senior Sister." Qin Shaoyang knew in his heart that the senior sisters were giving his father so much face because of his aunt.

Otherwise, if it were only his father, or the sect leader of Yanbing Sect, who came, his elder brother Ye and all the peerless senior sisters would not have been so courteous in welcoming him.

It was only because his father was the husband of their master, Zhang Yuzhen, that these disciples held his father in such high regard.

This clearly shows how much these disciples respect their teacher and how much they cherish Zhang Yuzhen, their master.

His character and conduct are worthy of emulation.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red." By learning from elder brothers and sisters like Brother Ye, one's moral character will unconsciously improve.

Their minds have broadened considerably.

As he was about to leave to meet his master outside the city, Ye Liang suddenly had something to say. He took out the necklace, the reward he had received from the mission the night before, and handed it to his senior sister.

"Senior Sister, this is the Azure Blood Necklace. It's not a particularly good necklace; it only increases your Qi and Blood by two thousand. However, this necklace is a fusion necklace. Later, when I help you obtain a better necklace, we can fuse this one with the other. This way, the attributes will be stacked, and you'll get a better necklace. For now, please wear this necklace. Two thousand extra Qi and Blood is quite beneficial for us disciples of the Azure Immortal Sect, who don't rely on Qi and Blood for much."

Senior Sister Qi Xue must have been deeply moved to see that Junior Brother Ye Liang was still so concerned about finding her a suitable necklace.

Even the coldest heart will melt at his care and concern.

She immediately clutched the necklace Ye Liang had given her, her heart pounding with excitement. Her lips trembled slightly before she finally managed to utter a complete sentence in her voice to thank Ye Liang.

"Thank you, junior brother. I will wear this necklace carefully. I will never lose it for the rest of my life."

Hearing that he would never lose it for a lifetime warmed Ye Liang's heart.

Ye Liang immediately waved goodbye to his senior sister with a happy and relaxed expression, saying, "Then, senior sister, we'll head over first. Once we've met our master at the city gate, I'll send you a message right away."
