...
The argumentative remarks of Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er plunged the scene into a deathly silence.
Lin Feng's cheeks twitched slightly, and he stared at Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
As for the group from the Azure Sky Sect standing nearby, they were laughing so hard they almost cried, and they kept giving Shen Zhao and his group a thumbs up.
Master Zisong was furious: "What exactly do you two mean?!"
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"I know you're right, but let's not talk about logic for now."
"Your intentions are good, but don't start yet."
"This matter isn't urgent, but it needs to be done quickly."
"I know you're sad, but please don't be sad yet."
"As far as I know, I know nothing about this matter."
"So tell me first, what exactly do you plan to do?"
Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er showed no respect for Master Zisong, throwing their pedantic and nonsensical remarks directly at his face, leaving everyone stunned.
Master Zisong trembled with fear, never imagining that someone would dare to mock him in public like this.
Just as he was about to explode, He Lixian spoke up: "Yes, old man Zisong, how exactly do you plan to handle this matter? Don't make a fool of yourself in front of everyone!"
Master Zisong was momentarily at a loss for words, so he could only take a deep breath and say to Lin Feng, "Feng'er, for now, I can only ask you to make do. The position of sect leader cannot be yours for the time being."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Master, I am not wronged. Please rest assured, I really have no intention of coveting the position of sect leader."
As Lin Feng said this, he was extremely disappointed and filled with resentment towards Shen Zhao, the person who had hindered him.
However, he soon realized that it was too early to harbor resentment.
After being helped up by Master Zisong, Lin Feng was about to step down when Shen Zhao spoke again: "Master Zisong, if I may be so bold as to ask, what reason do you have for making an exception and accepting this disciple into your sect?"
Let me tell you about its talents, so you can all witness them.
Shen Zhao's words also revealed the doubts in the hearts of everyone present.
After all, Master Zisong had already stated that he would no longer accept disciples, but now he not only made an exception, but also made a big fuss to let the seven major sects of the Eastern Continent know about it.
What are the reasons behind this?
Upon hearing this, Master Zisong immediately adopted a proud expression: "Everyone, do you know just how outstanding my disciple's talent is? He has only been a disciple for a little over a month, and his cultivation has already advanced from the Body Tempering Realm to the eighth rank of the Spirit Gathering Realm."
Within three months, he will surely reach the Nascent Soul Realm. How many people in the entire Immortal Martial Continent can match such talent and cultivation?
Upon hearing this, all the Karami were greatly surprised.
To advance from the lower-level Body Tempering Realm to the late-stage Spirit Gathering Realm within a month—truly a prodigy!
No wonder Master Zisong cherishes this disciple so much. If it were him, he would definitely be willing to make an exception for him. Such terrifying talent will surely lead the sect to rise.
"Congratulations to Master Zisong on taking on such a talented disciple!"
"The Qingyun Sect is about to rise to great heights."
"Truly enviable."
Hearing the constant compliments around them, both Master Zisong and Lin Feng regained their spirited demeanor.
Lu Xuanji's pretty face turned bright red. The female disciple beside her asked with a smile, "Junior Sister Lu, what are you thinking about? Are you all set up in bed, waiting to marry Junior Brother Lin?"
"Ugh, don't talk nonsense."
Lu Xuanji's cheeks flushed even redder after being told off, and she no longer had the same resolute determination she once had for pursuing the Dao.
The female disciples also fantasized about sleeping intimately with Lin Feng, cuddling and enjoying the scenery, even without any official status or relationship, they would be willing to do so.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhao's lips curled slightly, but when he saw Su Yunying's gloomy face, which remained unchanged as she stared intently at Lin Feng, he couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong with this girl? Could it be that she was harmed by Lin Feng in her past life, and she has a connection to him in this life?"
Before he could think any further, Liang Hao suddenly broke the silence: "Ha, I thought he was some kind of genius, and I even had a glimmer of hope, but this is all I got?"
"Those mere ants at the Spirit Gathering Realm? I could easily crush three of them with a single finger. You dare to brag about that?"
Upon hearing this, Master Zisong looked at Liang Hao and asked, "What did you just say?"
"What are you glaring at me for? Did I say something wrong? It's just a mere Spirit Gathering Realm cultivator. What's the big deal? Empress Yu Xiyan of the Yintian Dynasty already reached the Soul Sea Realm at the age of fifteen."
Now at eighteen, and rumored to have already reached the peak of the Profound Void Realm, with a half-step Nirvana cultivation, I dare ask you, how can your so-called prodigy compare to him?
"Yu Xiyan?"
For some reason, when Lin Feng heard this name, some strange fragments flashed through his mind, but they were just scattered pieces that he couldn't piece together completely.
In his mind, he vaguely felt a woman with an indistinct face holding his hand, strolling on the suspension bridge as the lights came on, with a sweet laugh faintly reaching his ears.
It was as if Yu Xiyan was deeply connected to him and played a very important role in his life.
Master Zisong was enraged: "That's the Empress of the Great Yin Dynasty. The cultivation resources she possesses are naturally unmatched by our sect, so..."
"Stop making excuses!" Liang Hao interrupted him bluntly. "Useless is useless. I'm talking about the Empress's talent, not resources."
Some good-for-nothings, even if fed rare and precious herbs every day, will still end up as useless. I'll just ask you one question: can your precious disciple's talent be compared to that of the Empress of the Great Yin Dynasty?
Master Zisong was speechless. Empress Yu Xiyan's cultivation and talent were naturally among the best in the Immortal Martial Continent, and he could not compare Lin Feng to her at present.
Upon seeing Master Zisong's discomfiture, He Lixian said sarcastically, "Master Zisong, you don't actually think your disciple can be compared to the Empress of Dayin, do you?"
