The old man had a full head of silver hair and wore a simple long robe.

Perhaps because his eyes were slightly closed, the old man gave off a refined and peaceful feeling, like a gentle and cultured schoolteacher.

Judging from his facial features, he was definitely not bad-looking when he was young.

It was in this Valley of the Deaf and Mute that Su Xinghe, the founder of the Deaf and Mute Sect, known in the martial arts world as "Mr. Concise and Eloquent," was established.

Behind Su Xinghe stood seven other people.

Almost the instant Chu Qinghe and his companions entered the valley, all eyes fell on Chu Qinghe.

However, the moment their scrutinizing gazes fell upon Chu Qinghe, they were all taken aback by his appearance.

"This appearance... is it disguised?"

After Chu Qinghe took a few more steps, Su Xinghe, who had been keeping her eyes closed, slowly opened them.

But when Su Xinghe's gaze fell on Chu Qinghe, even Su Xinghe couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

An idea popped into Su Xinghe's mind almost instinctively.

"This child is destined to be with my Xiaoyao Sect."

It should be noted that the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect emphasize lightness, elegance, and refinement, and members of the Free and Unfettered Sect must also have extraordinary and outstanding appearances in order to be worthy of the sect's martial arts.

Otherwise, if a person is ugly, any martial arts technique they learn will likely lose its original lightness, elegance, and refinement.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the establishment of the Xiaoyao Sect, there were rules within the sect.

Anyone who enters the Free and Unfettered Sect, regardless of gender, must be of outstanding appearance.

Ding Chunqiu, the outcast of the Xiaoyao Sect, was also quite handsome in his youth.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so vain as to wear a pink outfit at her age, even with a fuller figure.

Anyone who is young and not particularly good-looking wouldn't dare to wear such a flashy pink.

Therefore, the moment Su Xinghe saw Chu Qinghe, he felt that someone with Chu Qinghe's appearance was born to join the Xiaoyao Sect.

As Su Xinghe shifted his gaze, after passing over Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing and the other women, he turned his attention back to Chu Qinghe.

This further solidified his idea of ​​bringing Chu Qinghe into the Xiaoyao Sect.

However, just as Su Xinghe's gaze fell on Wang Yuyan at the far end, Su Xinghe's body suddenly stiffened.

I almost blurted out the words "teacher's wife".

But the next second, looking at the well-behaved and young Wang Yuyan, Su Xinghe instantly realized the problem.

"No, Master's wife can't be that young. If that's the case, could this woman be Master's wife's granddaughter?"

After understanding the other party's identity, Su Xinghe looked at Chu Qinghe again and had a guess in his heart.

A few breaths later, as Chu Qinghe and the others approached, Su Xinghe gently raised his hand in a gesture of greeting.

Noticing Su Xinghe's actions, a man with a mustache who looked to be in his forties behind Su Xinghe cupped his hands and said, "I am Xue Muhua. My master is deaf and unable to speak. I hope this young master will forgive me. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak to me, and I will relay it to my master."

Chu Qinghe focused his gaze on Su Xinghe opposite him, chuckled inwardly, and said, "Judging from Senior Su's Jingming acupoint, which is round and bright in color, and the Yangbai acupoint, which has no spots or depressions, he doesn't seem like someone who can't speak or hear."

Upon hearing the voice, Su Xinghe and Xue Muhua and the others behind him all changed their expressions.

Taking in the reactions of the others, Chu Qinghe said softly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of causing trouble or taking action here. I just feel that it would be too tiring for the seniors to keep having others do things for them."

Seeing this, after a few moments of contemplation, Xue Muhua, who had just spoken, stepped forward again, ready to speak.

However, before Xue Muhua could speak, Su Xinghe's voice rang out.

"I never expected that Young Master Murong's medical skills would be so superb. He was able to diagnose my condition just by looking at my face. I admire him."

Seeing that Su Xinghe actually mistook him for Murong Fu, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Senior, you misunderstand. I am not Murong Fu."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Su Xinghe couldn't help but show surprise, and then said apologetically, "It seems that I misunderstood."

Chu Qinghe smiled gently and said, "Since you have already guessed that I am Murong Fu, you must have already recognized Miss Wang."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinghe's gaze shifted slightly to Wang Yuyan, and then he asked, "Since Madam Wang sent Miss Wang here, did she bring any tokens?"

Wang Yuyan nodded gently in response, "Yes!"

As she spoke, Wang Yuyan gently lifted her sleeve, then took off a ring from her left thumb and handed it to Su Xinghe.

After receiving the ring, Su Xinghe quickly examined it.

A moment later, Su Xinghe stood up and bowed to Wang Yuyan, saying, "Su Xinghe of the Xiaoyao Sect greets the Vice Sect Leader."

Seeing Su Xinghe's actions, Xue Muhua and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then quickly followed Su Xinghe in bowing.

Looking at Su Xinghe and the others bowing to her, Wang Yuyan said somewhat flusteredly, "Seniors are older, how can Yuyan accept their greetings?"

Su Xinghe shook his head and said, "Within my Xiaoyao Sect, the Seven Treasures Ring is the token of the sect leader, while the Three Treasures Ring is the token of the deputy sect leader."

"Since the Three Treasures Ring is in Miss Wang's hands, Miss Wang is the deputy sect leader of our Xiaoyao Sect, and should rightfully receive our greetings."

After speaking, Su Xinghe slowly stood up and then handed the ring to Wang Yuyan with both hands, saying, "It is a cautious habit I have developed over the years. I offended you because I was unable to confirm the identity of the vice sect leader before. I hope the vice sect leader will not take offense."

After this explanation, Wang Yuyan finally understood the meaning of the Three Treasures Ring, and a look of realization appeared on her face.
