"Please have the top three finishers step forward and lead the reading!"
Three scrolls were handed to Ye Feng and his companions, and an invisible buzzing sound rang in Ye Feng's mind.
The Heart-Questioning Formation!
The three stepped onto the stage, while the other two, without realizing it, allowed Ye Feng to stand in the middle.
The strongest one stands in the middle...
Seeing the positioning before them, none of the people below the stage, except for a few Foundation Establishment deacons who hadn't witnessed his battle, found anything amiss.
"From this day forward, I will become an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect..."
As Ye Feng began, the two followed suit and led the reading, while the disciples below shouted in unison.
With the activation of the Heart-Questioning Formation, coupled with the groundwork laid by the sect leader, everyone seemed to be injected with adrenaline.
Only Ye Feng seemed somewhat uninterested, causing the elders around him to frown.
"Cherish the younger generation of the sect and uphold the sect's reputation..."
This is essentially a declaration; with the blessing of the Heart-Testing Formation, it's easy to identify spies...
However, the requirements weren't too demanding, and most people could pass.
Moreover, ordinary inner disciples are only slightly stronger than outer disciples; at most, they just need to spend more resources.
Those who have access to the core are mostly the disciples of each peak and the Foundation Establishment cultivators who have been promoted.
After the three leaders finished reading and were about to leave the stage, a voice rang out from the side.
"Ye Feng, as the leader of this reading, I wonder what your thoughts are now, and what you plan to do for the sect in the future?"
The speaker was Jiang Jin from Qingjian Peak.
Ye Feng had already joined Qingxue Peak and was bound to undergo the Heart-Searching Process; he shouldn't have gone through this unnecessary ordeal.
However, Ye Feng's inattentive attitude on stage still annoyed him, and he couldn't help but ask this question.
His question contained magical power, and with the enhancement of the array, it was no weaker than the Heart-Searching Finger.
Ye Feng, already a level one array master, could withstand the attack thanks to his Foundation Establishment cultivation, but that would likely complicate matters considerably...
Ye Feng looked at the elder who had asked the question, and Ding Xiu standing beside him.
This should be the peak master of Qingjian Peak.
That's the person who bought my token back then...
"Right now... I don't have any feelings. What can I do for the sect... I don't know..."
Ye Feng's words caused an uproar.
The disciples below exchanged bewildered glances.
The sect leader just gave us a long pep talk, everyone was full of energy and high spirits, but you didn't seem to have any feelings about it.
He's still leading the reading on stage?
Jiang Jin narrowed his eyes, frowned, and increased his magical power to ask another question.
"So what do you want to do now?"
After this question was asked, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The numerous disciples who had just entered the inner sect below stared intently at him without blinking.
Because his abilities have been recognized by everyone.
His alchemy pavilion also became widely known after the competition began, as word spread among the disciples.
Many people then realized that the "Spring and Autumn Elixir Pavilion," known for its high-quality and affordable products, was actually run by Ye Feng.
It could be said that almost all of these lower-ranking disciples had received his favor.
He is also humble, and even in ring battles, he only adopts a passive defensive stance, making casual moves to let his opponent realize the difference in skill before stopping...
If even such a person harbors ulterior motives, then what else can we trust...?
Now, everyone, even the sect leader Qingsong Zhenren, frowned, fearing that Qingxue Peak's inspection might not be thorough enough and that unpleasant things might happen in this situation.
The only person on the field who unconditionally believed in him was probably Li Qinghe, who was standing on the sidelines.
Surely this guy isn't thinking about those things now, right? Please don't say it in front of so many people!
Thinking of this, a sliver of color returned to Li Qinghe's pale face, her heart filled with both shyness and a strange sense of anticipation...
"Right now... I only want to know one thing."
The indifference on Ye Feng's face gradually disappeared, revealing a ferocious expression.
"Who exactly is it...?"
Seeing his expression, the elders' faces turned solemn, ready to take him down at any moment.
"Who hit and injured my master...?"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce, and spat out each word one by one.
"I will definitely... kill him!"
As he spoke, he looked from left to right.
"Before you harm my master, remember to kill me first, otherwise... you will one day die by my sword!"
After saying that, he walked off the stage on his own.
"good!"
Jiang Jin was also somewhat surprised that Ye Feng would lose his composure in such a situation for this reason.
Such a protective act towards one's teacher is truly beyond reproach, and one can't help but loudly praise it.
I couldn't help but think to myself, "If only my apprentices cared for me this much..."
"Senior brother!"
"Senior Brother Ye!"
As one or two people passed by, they both clasped their hands in greeting to him.
His courageous words in front of so many elders earned his admiration.
Anyone who harms my fellow disciples, I will kill them!
Alchemy has good medicinal effects.
He is humble.
Undeniably the strongest, number one.
And the elders all praised his courage...
As Ye Feng walked by, everyone addressed him as "Senior Brother Ye."
In the end, he became the senior disciple...
"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!!"
———
"You brat, you've really shown off now, haven't you? Where's the senior disciple from the inner sect?"
Li Qinghe leaned against the bedside, looked at Ye Feng, and said teasingly,
Ye Feng looked at the blood seeping from her shoulder, her pale face, and her forced smile, and felt a pang of heartache.
"Master, what have you been doing? It's only been a few months, and you've gotten into this state..."
"What? You want to avenge me now? With your bean sprout-like cultivation level, you wouldn't even be enough to fill someone's teeth."
Don't think you're invincible just because you're the senior disciple. The outside world is different from the sect; nobody appreciates your sweet talk and charming words there.
Ye Feng touched his nose somewhat awkwardly; this was mocking him for flattering someone in public.
Judging from her expression, she probably didn't manage to capture the horse's legs.
"Then tell me, who did it?"
Ye Feng concealed his killing intent and asked casually,
Even if my cultivation level isn't high enough right now, I still have formations to use.
A level one formation is enough to trap and kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator; a level two formation would be enough to make him a match for a Golden Core cultivator.
The sect's grand formation was only at level three.
We have enough trading points now, and we can add more at any time.
He wasn't afraid of one or two Golden Core cultivators at all.
The icy coldness in Ye Feng's eyes did not escape Li Qinghe's notice. Just as she was about to speak, Zhu Jian walked in carrying the medicinal liquid.
"Alright, Ye Feng, go out first. It's time to change your dressing. You can talk again later!"
Ye Feng nodded.
"Master, I'll go first..."
"It's alright, just let him stay here!"
Bamboo sword: .....
Li Qinghe blushed slightly. It was the bamboo sword that reminded her at first, and now... it was like telling her senior sister her answer!
"This kid wants to avenge me, huh? Let him see..."
