Hundreds of disciples who were reading classics looked up at the same time, and the noisy discussions came to an abrupt end.
The jade slip in someone's hand fell to the ground with a "click", which was particularly harsh in the silence.
The next moment, the chirping of birds suddenly rang out in the collection pavilion.
"Senior Brother Li!"
Luo Hongying was the first to exclaim, and her cry seemed to have lit a fuse. Dozens of female disciples who were reading ancient books all looked up at once, and their pearl hairpins and jade hairpins collided with each other, making crisp sounds.
Within three breaths, Li Lingge was surrounded by female disciples within a radius of three meters.
The fragrance of rouge, floral dew and cinnabar mixed with each other hit his face. Seven or eight pairs of slender hands stretched out at the same time, some handing him a handkerchief, some holding spiritual fruit, and the most daring Luo Hongying even went so far as to pull the corner of his sleeve.
"Masters—"
Before Li Lingge could finish his polite words, a frosty figure suddenly cut in.
The jade bell on Wei Xiang's waist jingled, and her wide sleeves embroidered with ice cracks swept across like a blade, forcibly cutting a gap in the crowd.
"Get out of the way."
Just two simple words, but they caused the temperature in the room to drop sharply.
An icy white plum blossom condensed at Wei Xiang's fingertips at some point, and the edges of the six petals glowed with a cold, blade-like light.
She didn't even look at the person, but just nonchalantly played with the winter plum blossom that was powerful enough to cut gold and jade.
The crowd froze instantly. Luo Hongying in the front row froze in place. The fingers that were clutching Li Lingge's sleeves were wrapped in a bone-chilling chill.
"Senior sister is so majestic."
Suddenly, a sweet laugh came from the back of the crowd, and Song Qingqing, dressed in a fiery red dress, stepped out from the crowd.
"The Collection Pavilion is a place where the sect's disciples practice together. You—"
“Swish!”
The ice plum blossom suddenly exploded, and six petals passed by Song Qingqing's ears.
A strand of broken hair slowly fell and landed on the gilded food box she had carefully prepared, which contained the Phoenix Marrow Soup that could improve one's cultivation.
"I say." Wei Xiang finally raised his eyes, his pupils seemed to be filled with a thousand-year-old cold pond, "Get out of the way."
The air seemed to be frozen, and Song Qingqing's face turned pale.
She heard that Li Lingge came to the Collection Pavilion, so she took the carefully prepared gift to give to Li Lingge to improve his cultivation.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped before he could talk to Li Lingge.
Song Qingqing was about to explode, but when she thought about how she had to maintain her image in front of Li Lingge, she looked at Li Lingge with tears in her eyes and a look of grievance on her face.
"Junior Brother Li, this is the Phoenix Marrow Soup I spent an hour preparing specially for you. It will help you improve your cultivation."
As she spoke, she handed over the food box in her hand.
"I have many doubts about alchemy, and I just hope that my junior brother can help me solve them."
Without waiting for Li Lingge to speak, Wei Xiang said coldly.
"He wants to help me decipher the Nine Revolutions Pill Art today."
Wei Xiang suddenly grabbed Li Lingge's arm and dragged him up the stairs in front of countless wide-eyed gazes.
The white sleeves and the frosty shawl were entangled together, looking like an ink painting as they passed over the wooden steps.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, the group of young ladies suddenly became furious.
Luo Hongying pursed her thin lips and murmured softly.
"How can Senior Sister Meng be so selfish!"
Song Qingqing's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She had added something else to the phoenix marrow soup. If Li Lingge drank it, he would definitely go into her boudoir obediently.
Unfortunately, the plan was disrupted.
"Meng Yuyan, just wait for me!"
The inner disciples on the second floor were much more knowledgeable. When Li Lingge appeared at the stairs, they simply stopped what they were doing briefly, bowed respectfully, and continued studying.
At most, everyone dared to sneak a peek at the pair out of the corner of their eyes until they saw them disappear into the forbidden light curtain leading to the third floor.
"That's... the Jade Token on his waist?" A gray-robed disciple's eyes widened. "Isn't that just the Sect Master—"
The gray-robed disciple was about to express his feelings when his senior brother suddenly covered his mouth.
Li Lingge pressed one hand on the glittering barrier, and the formation that was enough to stop ordinary elders melted away layer by layer like spring ice meeting the sun.
His sleeves rustled with the divine power, and in a flash his entire body was submerged in the light curtain.
Wei Xiang glanced back before the light curtain closed, and that look instantly made all the whispers on the second floor evaporate.
After the two disappeared on the second floor, discussions suddenly arose.
"The third floor is a place only elders can go."
"If Senior Sister Meng can go to the third floor, then it's no surprise that Li Lingge can go there too."
"But the jade token on Li Lingge's waist is equivalent to the Sect Master coming in person!"
Several deacons and elders on the third floor were discussing ancient prescriptions. They were all surprised to see Li Lingge suddenly appear.
"You... Did the Sect Master allow you to come up?" The white-haired Dan Pavilion elder's beard trembled.
Li Lingge just nodded slightly, his eyes already fixed on the jade steps leading to the fourth floor.
There were nine dragon-shaped restrictions hovering there, and each dragon shadow exuded a heart-pounding pressure.
The Dan Pavilion elder suddenly stopped him and reminded him.
"The fourth floor contains the sect's secret teachings. Even if you are the sect master's personal disciple—"
Before he finished speaking, the jade pendant on Li Lingge's waist suddenly burst out with a dazzling green light.
Nine dragon shadows let out clear dragon roars at the same time, and actually took the initiative to make way for them.
The elders stared at the jade token in stunned silence, and no one dared to stop Li Lingge.
"The Sect Master actually gave him the Jade Token!"
"Seeing Qingyu Ling come to see the Sect Master, will we have to bow to him when we see him in the future?"
"Hey, if I had such talent, you wouldn't even have the chance to salute me."
"Stop complaining. The Sword God is planning to give him all his swords. What's the big deal about us just paying our respects?"
