“That’s because they received help from Feng Ye,” Zhao Ruxue replied.
"Feng Ye? You mean Feng Ye helped them?"
Chen Lingyue asked, a look of understanding on her face.
Zhao Ruxue nodded and continued, "It was precisely because of Feng Ye's help that Sun Chengxiang, Jiang Qingrou, and Lin Manyue were able to successfully master the Azure Lotus Spirit Flame. Feng Ye's talent far exceeded our expectations."
After a pause, Zhao Ruxue continued, "Moreover, today is only Feng Ye's first day officially working in the alchemy workshop, yet he has already refined ninety-eight Qi-Nourishing Pills, ninety-eight Qi-Blood Pills, and forty-nine Poison-Repelling Pills in just one day."
Is this really true?
Chen Lingyue asked, her voice emphasizing her words, her face full of surprise.
“It’s definitely true, I checked it myself,” Zhao Ruxue said.
Chen Lingyue's face broke into a broad smile, and her tone was filled with excitement: "I never expected that Feng Ye would be so capable. We've really struck gold this time... We absolutely cannot let this talent slip away; we must keep him in our Tianhua Sect!"
"Sect Leader, that's what I think too," Zhao Ruxue said.
"So, what have you thought about what I said before?" Chen Lingyue asked.
A blush immediately spread across Zhao Ruxue's face.
Last time, Chen Lingyue told Zhao Ruxue to use the Bewitching Soul-Locking Spell to control Ye Feng.
But Zhao Ruxue did not agree at the time, only saying that she would consider it.
Now that Chen Lingyue has brought this up again, it's clear she can't wait any longer.
Zhao Ruxue said helplessly, "I will do as you say, Sect Leader. This Feng Ye is indeed a talented person, and controlling him in this way is the safest option."
Hearing Zhao Ruxue say this, Chen Lingyue finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, then go and do it tonight. Make sure to bring Feng Ye under control as soon as possible, lest things get complicated," Chen Lingyue instructed.
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Zhao Ruxue bowed respectfully, took three steps back, and then finally turned and left.
After leaving Chen Lingyue's cultivation cave, Zhao Ruxue immediately used teleportation to disappear from the spot.
When she reappeared, Zhao Ruxue was already at her residence.
Zhao Ruxue's sudden arrival did not surprise Ye Feng, because Ye Feng had already sensed her presence when Zhao Ruxue activated her teleportation technique.
"Elder Zhao, you're back? May I leave now?" Ye Feng asked.
"Go? Where do you want to go?" Zhao Ruxue asked.
“Of course I’m going back to my place to rest; my sister is waiting for me,” Feng Ye said.
“Your sister? Hehe, I heard from Liang Jie that Wang Jiayi isn’t your biological sister. You two are sworn siblings, right?” Zhao Ruxue said.
The night breeze nodded.
Zhao Ruxue sat down in the chair and said with a half-smile, "You and Wang Jiayi aren't just sworn siblings, are you?"
Why did Zhao Ruxue ask that question?
Did I give myself away and she discover something?
Night Wind thought to himself, but did not answer, keeping his head down and remaining silent.
Zhao Ruxue continued, "Wang Jiayi is indeed very beautiful and has a great figure, but she's far inferior to me. Feng Ye, lift your head and look at me."
Ye Feng looked up at Zhao Ruxue and immediately noticed a hint of allure on her face.
What does this woman mean by acting this way?
Was she trying to seduce him?
Ye Feng felt bewildered. He was now an outer disciple of the Tianhua Sect, and even if he was the chief alchemist of the Pill Workshop, Zhao Ruxue shouldn't treat him like this!
Or is this woman sexually frustrated and needs a man to comfort her?
While Ye Feng was still lost in thought, Zhao Ruxue continued, "Feng Ye, don't you have feelings for me?"
"Elder Zhao is an elder, how could I dare to harbor any impure thoughts towards him?" Ye Feng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"What's wrong with having distracting thoughts? I really admire you," Zhao Ruxue said meaningfully.
As she spoke, Zhao Ruxue waved to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng then took two steps closer to Zhao Ruxue, but Zhao Ruxue immediately grabbed Ye Feng's hand and pulled him to her side.
“Don’t go back tonight, stay here with me. Although I am an elder, I still need a man to serve me. You can serve me tonight,” Zhao Ruxue said.
Ye Feng immediately shook his head: "Absolutely not, Elder Zhao, you are an elder of our Tianhua Sect, I am just a lowly outer disciple, how could I..."
“I give my permission,” Zhao Ruxue interrupted Ye Feng.
“That won’t work either.” Ye Feng immediately shook his head.
Zhao Ruxue's eyebrows furrowed, and she said in a more forceful tone, "Feng Ye, do you dare disobey me? Do you want to defy my orders?"
“Elder Zhao, that’s not what I meant,” Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
"Enough with the nonsense, now get to bed."
Zhao Ruxue pointed to the bed next to her and said.
Ye Feng suddenly felt an urge to curse.
He truly hadn't expected things to develop to this point.
This was simply unbelievable to him!
Suddenly, Ye Feng had a thought, as if he understood something.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. As an elder of the Tianhua Sect, Zhao Ruxue certainly wouldn't throw herself at him for no reason.
Is this woman trying to control me through some kind of secret technique?
Ye Feng pondered this more and more and felt that this possibility was increasing, so he said, "Elder Zhao, do you want to control me through some secret method and make me loyal to you?"
"I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted; you guessed it right away."
Zhao Ruxue smiled and said frankly, "That's right, I do intend to control you. The secret technique I'm going to use on you is called the Bewitching Soul-Locking Curse. After we unite, I will use this secret technique to imprint a curse mark on you, and then you will completely fall at my feet!"
"Elder Zhao, you don't need to do this. You are so beautiful and charming, and you are also an elder of the sect. Even if you didn't use this secret technique on me, I would already be bowing down before you," Ye Feng said with a wry smile.
"This is the sect leader's intention!"
Zhao Ruxue snorted before continuing, "Feng Ye, you are indeed very outstanding. The talent you have shown not only surprised me, but even the sect leader praised you highly. A person like you would be of great help to our Tianhua Sect. Therefore, to be on the safe side, the sect leader ordered me to use the Bewitching Soul-Locking Spell to control you, so that you would not betray the sect in the future or be poached by other sects."
"But don't worry, the Bewitching Soul-Locking Spell won't restrict your freedom. You'll just become inseparable from me under the influence of this secret technique. From now on, you will be my Daoist partner, and all the disciples of the sect will respect you greatly."
