Ye Feng turned to Tang Qianlong and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Patriarch Tang. I have eaten and drunk my fill, so I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, he and Sun Yanling strode away.
Watching Ye Feng and Sun Yanling walk away, Tang Qianlong, Tang Huancai, and Tang Huange all looked extremely grim.
They invited Sun Yanling to the birthday banquet to test her attitude and find out the details of the Sun family.
Now, we've figured out the Sun family's background.
Thanks to Ye Feng's support, the Sun family's strength far surpasses that of the Tang family. At least in terms of elite combat power, the Tang family simply cannot compare with the Sun family.
Tang Qianlong's illusion was completely shattered, so it's no wonder he couldn't be happy!
"Father, we..."
Before Tang Huancai could finish speaking, Tang Qianlong raised his hand to interrupt: "Stop talking. Our Tang family cannot be enemies with the Sun family, at least not for now. As long as Feng Ye is still in the Sun family, our Tang family absolutely cannot have any illusions about the Sun family."
"Yes, I understand."
Tang Huancai nodded and sighed.
Ye Feng and Sun Yanling had already come out of the Tang family mansion.
Once inside the carriage, Sun Yanling looked at Ye Feng with gratitude.
“Mr. Ye, thank you so much for today. With this, the Tang family will definitely not dare to go against our Sun family. Of course, I will never take advantage of your power to oppose the Tang family,” Sun Yanling said earnestly.
Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction.
If Sun Yanling were a woman who didn't know her place and lacked any sense of propriety, and relied on his power to bully the Tang family, Ye Feng would definitely have a problem with her.
Sun Yanling, however, is not that kind of person, which shows that she is very shrewd.
“I’m glad you think that way. What you should be doing now is developing and strengthening your Sun family and ensuring your daughter’s healthy growth,” Ye Feng said.
“Yes, Mr. Ye.” Sun Yanling nodded vigorously.
Two days later, the Sun Sect's alchemy conference finally officially began.
Ye Feng took the invitation to Mount Rilun, where Bai Yue and Hong Lun Hai were in his Biyou Palace.
Just as Ye Feng arrived at the imposing mountain gate of the Sun Sect, he was stopped by the outer disciples of the Sun Sect who were guarding the place.
"Excuse me, are you an alchemist here to participate in our alchemy competition?" one of the disciples asked.
“Exactly.” Night Breeze nodded.
"Then, please show us your invitation," the disciple said politely.
Ye Feng then took out his invitation and handed it to the outer disciple of the Sun Sect.
The invitation to Night Breeze was given by Chen Xinghe, so there's definitely no problem.
Sure enough, the disciple checked the invitation and a smile appeared on his face.
“The invitation is fine, Master, please come in. There will be someone to show you the way,” the disciple said, returning the invitation to Ye Feng and bowing to him.
Ye Feng then put away the invitation and entered the Sun Sect's mountain gate with a smile.
Not far along, a female disciple dressed in the uniform of an outer disciple walked towards them.
The female disciple approached Ye Feng and asked, "May I ask who you are here to participate in our..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Feng said, "Yes, I am. Do you also want to see my invitation?"
The female disciple nodded with a smile.
Ye Feng had no choice but to take out the invitation he had just put away and show it to her again.
After reading the invitation, the female disciple said, "Master Feng, hello. My name is Zhao Ruyan. I will be your personal attendant and guide for the next few days. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Now, I will take you to the private room that our sect has prepared especially for you."
"Yes, please." Ye Feng raised his hand and said.
So Zhao Ruyan led the way, and Ye Feng followed behind her, heading deeper into the Sun Sect.
Before long, the night breeze arrived in front of a wooden building.
Upon entering the wooden building and arriving at his room, Ye Feng sat down on a chair.
Zhao Ruyan immediately brewed a pot of hot tea for Ye Feng and bent down to pour the tea for him.
"Master Feng, you're not from Sunwheel City, are you?" Zhao Ruyan asked curiously.
"Oh, how did you figure that out?" Night Wind asked back.
“Master Feng, you’re clearly not a local, and you don’t have any accent from the Sunwheel City area at all,” Zhao Ruyan said with a smile.
"I see."
Ye Feng nodded and took a sip of his tea. He then said, “I am indeed not from the Sun Wheel City area. I come from a very, very far place. I traveled the world in search of a breakthrough opportunity and came here by chance. I happened to hear that your Sun Sect was holding an alchemy conference, so I came to participate.”
"So, do you want to achieve a good ranking in the alchemy competition and receive the rewards prepared by our sect, or do you want to take this opportunity to join our Sun Sect?" Zhao Ruyan asked again.
"Of course I'll join your Sun Sect. I've been a wandering cultivator for hundreds of years, and I want to find a place to settle down and cultivate in peace. I don't want to wander around anymore," Ye Feng said in a weathered tone, truly like someone who had spent half his life wandering.
Zhao Ruyan smiled and said, "With your strength, Master, you will surely get what you want."
That's just flattery.
After all, Zhao Ruyan had no idea about Ye Feng's strength and alchemy skills.
Ye Feng smiled without saying a word, while Zhao Ruyan continued to probe indirectly.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ye Feng prepared to rest and said, "You may leave now, I need to rest."
Zhao Ruyan said, "Master, please rest. I won't disturb you."
"You want to stay here with me?" Night Wind looked surprised.
Zhao Ruyan was slightly embarrassed, but still nodded and said, "This is an order from our sect. We, the welcoming disciples, must do this so as not to slight the masters."
"Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?" Night Wind asked with a laugh.
Zhao Ruyan's cheeks flushed slightly.
But after a moment, Zhao Ruyan said, "If Master eats me, then our sect's protectors and elders will naturally step in. At that time, Master will have to compensate me properly. If you can't satisfy me, Master may not be able to leave our Sun Sect peacefully."
"I was just joking," Night Wind laughed.
After saying that, Ye Feng went to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating.
Zhao Ruyan took out a futon from her storage ring and sat down on it to meditate and cultivate.
Nothing was said that night.
Early morning, when it was broad daylight.
As soon as Ye Feng opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Ruyan approaching, staring at him with her beautiful eyes wide open.
Actually, Ye Feng opened his eyes because he sensed Zhao Ruyan approaching him.
At that moment, Ye Feng opened his eyes, which startled Zhao Ruyan. She quickly stepped back and explained, "Master Feng, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just curious, so I came closer to take a look."
