Ye Feng said earnestly, "Grandmaster, rest assured, this has always been my philosophy."
Ye Feng wasn't just making empty promises.
He not only thought this way, but he also consistently acted on it.
When he has something good, he treats everyone equally, regardless of their relationship to him or their social standing.
Aside from the sect's reward and punishment mechanisms, he was like a money-giving boy, spending money wherever he went.
Jian Qingfeng smiled and said, "I know, that's why I asked you to do this. I hope that when we have a firm foothold, I can see you leading your disciples to ascend together."
Ye Feng replied with a smile, "Then you and Senior Brother Shenqing will have to hurry, Grandmaster. I won't give you much time to prepare."
"You little rascal, hahahaha..."
Jian Qingfeng's hearty laughter echoed in the back mountain; he was by nature a carefree person.
"Oh, right."
Ye Feng took out three jade slips from his robes and handed them to Jian Qingfeng, saying, "Grandmaster, two of these jade slips are filled with dishes. You and Senior Brother Shenqing should each take one, so you'll have some trump cards when you get to the Immortal Realm. The other one contains information about Grandmaster Chenxin collected by a friend in the Immortal Realm. Take a look, and you can go find him to meet up with him later."
Jian Qingfeng took the jade slip and examined the information it contained.
After confirming that she had memorized it, she returned the jade slip to Ye Feng.
After all, ascending to the Immortal Realm only allows one jade slip, and this jade slip only contains information such as the address, which he has already memorized.
"Thank you so much, please thank your friend for me."
Ye Feng suddenly leaned close to Jian Qingfeng's ear and whispered a few words in a mysterious manner.
Jian Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he subtly glanced at Shenqing Zhenjun and Youlan Fairy.
"This is the first original bloodline of my Shushan Sword Sect besides that child Xiao Hongzhuang. The important task of taking good care of them falls on your shoulders."
Ye Feng could see the gleam in Jian Qingfeng's eyes.
However, the emotions contained within are not complicated.
Rather than being the future hope of the sect, it's more like a grandfather hearing that he has a grandson or granddaughter.
If we're really talking about the future of the sect, this one in front of us is much more reliable than the one in my belly.
Therefore, he did not have such high ambitions for this child.
I only hope that this only human offspring of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect can be born safely and grow up happily.
Then, he turned to look at Yun Zhongzi, who had remained silent.
"You hate me for forcing you to become the sect leader?"
Yun Zhongzi was very straightforward and said through gritted teeth, "Grandmaster, you clearly know that I'm used to being idle, yet you still made me this damn sect leader. How can I not hate you?"
Jian Qingfeng shrugged indifferently and said, "Hate is useless. You can't beat me anyway. Just be your sect leader and wait until there is another suitable candidate or your junior brother wants to take the position before you talk about stepping down."
Yun Zhongzi felt very angry.
With his lazy nature, how could my junior brother possibly aspire to be the sect leader!
The other fellow disciples were the same; every single one of them would use various excuses to escape whenever the position of sect leader was mentioned, such as urinating, defecating, or forgetting something. There was only one who was willing to relieve himself.
Jian Qingfeng continued, "You're heartless too. As the head of a sect, you can just skim some off your junior brother so you can advance to the Mahayana stage sooner. Then you can make whoever you want succeed you. When your sword is faster than theirs, will they not listen to you?"
Yun Zhongzi shook his head helplessly upon hearing Jian Qingfeng's request.
"It's not that I'm embarrassed to take things from my junior brother, it's just that I feel other fellow disciples or fellow disciples are more suitable to enjoy those treasures, it's a bit of a waste for me."
"Then have your junior brother preach again. Tell him what you want. You're a fool to be guarding a treasure mountain but being penniless. Your junior brother is like a sponge; he won't produce anything unless you wring him."
Ye Feng said weakly, "Grandmaster, when you two are discussing how you exploit me, could you please keep it a secret from me?"
Jian Qingfeng grinned: "We Shushan sword cultivators have nothing to hide from others. Scheming behind people's backs is the behavior of a petty person. Speaking to your face is the true nature of a sword cultivator."
Ye Feng couldn't do anything about this grandmaster either.
Although they looked equally young, Jian Qingfeng always gave him a feeling of being like a grandfather and grandson.
Since the sect competition began, he has spared no effort in protecting himself.
He had protected Ye Feng's safety time and time again, and now that they were about to part ways, Ye Feng felt a little sad.
...
Shenqing Zhenjun and Youlan Xianzi held hands and gazed at each other for a long time, as if they had a thousand words to say, but could not find the words to express them.
For some reason, Fairy Youlan seemed to have no intention of telling Shenqing Zhenjun that she was pregnant.
Shenqing Zhenjun looked at Youlan Fairy with deep regret.
"I promised to give you a peaceful and happy life, but you never got to experience that kind of life for more than a few days. Now you're going to ascend to the immortal realm. I'm so sorry."
Fairy Youlan didn't seem to be too sad.
He chuckled and said, "I once imagined my Daoist partner to be a great hero, a man of unparalleled stature, who would fight countless battles and be victorious amidst a multitude of enemies, while also being a gentle and kind gentleman to me. I thought it was just an unrealistic fantasy, but I never expected it to actually come true. Heaven has been kind to me. You should go and explore the Immortal Realm first. With Junior Brother Ye Feng by our side, our ascension to the Immortal Realm will be just around the corner."
Shenqing Zhenjun gently stroked her hair with affection, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Suddenly, Shenqing Zhenjun's hand began to gradually become ethereal, and Jian Qingfeng's hand beside him suffered the same fate.
"When we go to the Immortal Realm, I will definitely make sure to find you a good place to stay, so you will never have to live such an uneasy life again."
As they squeezed Fairy Youlan's hand tightly, Shenqing Zhenjun and Jian Qingfeng's figures gradually rose higher.
As it rises, it becomes more ethereal, until it disappears completely.
There were no two people left in the air, only a gentle breeze remained.
Fairy Youlan's tears finally welled up in her eyes.
Wu Qiuyu stepped forward, took her hand, and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, why be sad? You must believe in your junior brother. We will be reunited in the Immortal Realm soon."
Fairy Youlan nodded, touching her still flat belly where a small life was growing.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Qiuyu finally asked, "Why didn't you tell your senior brother that you were pregnant?"
Fairy Youlan smiled freely: "He is already full of guilt. Saying it will only make him feel worse. Anyway, we will be reunited soon. It's not too late to say it then."
After speaking, he looked up at Ye Feng hopefully and asked, "Right, Junior Brother?"
Ye Feng nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes."
The words were short, but full of confidence.
Ascension is nothing, but... well, that's not something to brag about, it's quite difficult.
