Xia Chenqing smiled and shook his head, "This trip to the secret realm is already led by a fellow elder, and I am just accompanying you."
If Xia Chenqing, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, is not qualified to be the team leader, then who is qualified?
Ying Ling frowned slightly. He glanced at the disciples wearing the uniforms of the Taichu Sword Sect, but did not find the second Nascent Soul cultivator among them. He felt a little annoyed in his heart.
"Xia Chenqing, are you kidding me?"
"Brother Ying, please be patient."
Xia Chenqing turned around, pointed at Jiang Deng, who was busy at the barbecue stall, and introduced him with a smile: "That's the leader of our Taichu Sword Sect."
Ying Ling was full of disbelief. "Your Taichu Sword Sect is the number one sect after all. How could you possibly let a young girl at the Foundation Establishment stage lead your team?"
Xia Chenqing's aura suddenly shone, and he said expressionlessly, "You'd better take back what you just said! She is the new Peak Master of our Taichu Sword Sect, Peak Master Jiang."
"Oh! The Taichu Sword Sect is really getting worse year by year. Any random person can become the leader of the sect."
Ying Ling sneered, "Once we emerge from the secret realm, the sect ranking battle will begin. As the saying goes, fortunes change. Your Taichu Sword Sect has held the top spot among the three major sects for over a thousand years. Now it's time for my Blissful Immortal Palace to take the top spot!"
He said this in a loud voice, and even Jiang Deng and others who were busy at work heard it.
Jiang Zhiling reached out and poked Jiang Deng, muttering softly, "Sister, that guy looks like he deserves a beating."
Feng Qing followed suit and complained, "He's grown up and hasn't been beaten to death yet. It's probably because he's strong enough. Even if someone doesn't like him, they can't beat him."
Having said that, Feng Qing also understood something.
It seems that if you want to be a sharp-tongued person, you must have strength! This undoubtedly strengthened her determination to continue to become stronger.
"Sister Deng, teach him a lesson!" Sun Fei provoked from the side.
Jiang Deng did not agree immediately, but looked at the spirit ship behind Ying Ling.
The last group of people walked out of the spirit ship. Among them was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, who should be the strongest person among the people of the Paradise Fairy Palace.
Realizing something, Jiang Deng raised his brows slightly, "Watch carefully!"
After rubbing some oil on his hands, making them even dirtier, Jiang Deng set off.
Baili Chengfeng, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back, noticed Jiang Deng's actions, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Jiang Deng walking towards Ying Ling.
Baili Chengfeng's eyes darkened, and the spiritual power in his dantian began to condense, ready to rescue Jiang Deng immediately if he was in danger.
The other side.
Xia Chenqing was enraged by Ying Ling's words and was about to draw his sword to fight Ying Ling, "You're dreaming, but don't you think you have the strength?"
At this time, Jiang Deng had already walked over and stood decisively in front of Xia Chenqing, standing between him and Ying Ling.
"Oh! Your guess is correct. I am the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect this time."
Jiang Deng grabbed Ying Ling's hand with a smile on his face and shook hands with him excitedly. "Looking at your extraordinary bearing and strength, I guess you are also the leader of the Paradise Palace this time? Nice to meet you!"
Feeling the greasy feeling in his palm, Ying Ling couldn't help but think of Jiang Deng's barbecue stall. The other party's hand must have touched something dirty, which made it so greasy!
Ying Ling, who was a mysophobia by nature, froze in his expression. He didn't listen to what Jiang Deng said. His anger was rising. He wanted to explode on the spot and beat Jiang Deng to pieces.
Coincidentally, the last batch of monks from the Paradise Palace just happened to walk here. The strongest monk was an old woman with a haggard face.
She also heard what Jiang Deng said. Seeing that Ying Ling did not refute Jiang Deng, the old woman said with a bad face: "Ying Ling? When did you become the leader of our Paradise Palace?"
"I didn't say it was her..."
Ying Ling was about to put all the blame on Jiang Deng, but Jiang Deng seemed to have noticed it in advance and interrupted him very quickly.
"Hey? If you're not the team leader, then why are you looking for me? I thought you were the leader of the Paradise Palace! How can you be so vain that you even want to grab a title that's not yours!"
As he spoke, Jiang Deng glanced at Ying Ling with disdain. When he pulled his hand back, he took advantage of the situation and used Ying Ling's white shirt as a hand cloth, wiping it again and again, successfully leaving two huge oily handprints.
"Elder Gu, I'm not! I really didn't! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Ying Ling didn't care about his clothes being soiled by Jiang Deng, and tried to explain things to the old woman named Gu Tianfeng. However, Gu Tianfeng's face was full of sarcasm, and she obviously didn't believe what Ying Ling said.
Knowing he couldn't defend himself, Ying Ling had no choice but to ask Xia Chenqing for help, "Xia Chenqing, please say something!"
Xia Chenqing also showed the same contemptuous look as Jiang Deng, "Brother Ying, I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
“…”
Ying Ling was so angry that he wanted to slap Jiang Deng to death, but Xia Chenqing, who was of similar strength to him, was still guarding beside him. He had no confidence that he could kill Jiang Deng before Xia Chenqing could stop him.
Finally, Ying Ling's face flushed red as he angrily said, "You, the Taichu Sword Sect, actually dare to recruit female disciples! Just wait, if the Territory Lord finds out about this, he'll deal with you sooner or later!"
Jiang Deng wasn't angry either. He pointed at Baili Chengfeng in the corner and said, "Look, see? He's the disciple of the Domain Master you admire, and he doesn't care about me. Do you think you deserve it?"
Ying Ling subconsciously looked in the direction Jiang Deng pointed. Baili Chengfeng happened to raise his head and look into his eyes. His expression was calm, but there was a dangerous glint in his black eyes.
"Ye, Ye Guchen!"
A drop of sweat ran down Ying Ling's forehead, and he couldn't help but look horrified.
Although Ye Guchen is also in the Nascent Soul stage, he is recognized as the number one in the Nascent Soul stage in the Feiran Spiritual Realm. Even if he is given a hundred courages, he would not dare to mess with Ye Guchen!
But since when did the relationship between Ye Guchen and Taichu Sword Sect become so good?
They even tacitly allowed the Taichu Sword Sect to recruit female disciples? Could it be... that this was instructed by the Territory Lord?
Under Ying Ling's extremely horrified gaze, Baili Chengfeng said calmly, "Do you have any objections to me?"
Ying Ling laughed dryly and could only wave his hands, "How dare I have any objection to you, Senior Brother Ye?"
"So you have something against her?" Baili Chengfeng looked at Jiang Deng.
Jiang Deng was a little confused. Why was this person pretending to be Ye Guchen speaking for her?
"No, I dare not." Ying Ling said hesitantly.
"Well, I bet you wouldn't dare."
After warning Ying Ling, Baili Chengfeng knew that the other party would not dare to mess with Jiang Deng again, so he closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
Seeing that Baili Chengfeng didn't continue to argue with him, Ying Ling was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a hoarse female voice behind him.
"Junior Brother Ying, you are so disgusted with other sects recruiting female disciples. Have you forgotten that there is a female elder like me in the Paradise Palace?" Gu Tianfeng said with a bad face.
