Chapter 87
Inside the Cloud Soaring Hall.
Aside from Xiao Hongyi, many other Ninth Peak elders were gathered at this moment.
Xiao Hongyi intended to take Lin Feng as the sixth true disciple of Ninth Peak, which was a major event for both Ninth Peak and the sect, and naturally, it was to be treated with great care.
But, “Let me go! You bunch of lunatics! I, Lin Feng, will never take a master! A master who can teach three lunatics, you tell me she’s normal? You’re kidding me!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s lips twitched.
Although Xiao Hongyi was somewhat annoyed, she felt more helpless than anything.
Indeed, she had taught three lunatic disciples, and these three lunatics had given Lin Feng quite a hard time.
Thus, it was natural that Lin Feng had changed his mind.
Soon, Lin Feng was brought into the hall by Zhang Hu and the others.
Struggling non-stop and with severe pain in his abdomen, he was now pale, and the wounds on his lower abdomen and shoulders had burst open again, oozing a lot of fresh blood.In such pain, he couldn’t even fully open his eyes.
“Great Elder, he has mistakenly ingested Zijun Blood Soil. Please fetch a Complete Body Pill,” Xiao Hongyi said.
Her voice was soft and clear, like the sound of a mountain stream, making the listener feel completely relaxed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng felt his stomach pain subside.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes widening, standing there stupefied.
He saw a beauty, an unparalleled beauty!
The beauty had a graceful figure and was dressed in a long red gown with delicate features and rosy lips, a vision of celestial charm.
Between those slightly furrowed brows, there was a hint of authority yet also a touch of weariness.
The beauty gave him a kind smile.
That smile is so enchanting and beautiful. It was enough to make all things in the world pale in comparison!
Seeing him in a daze, the beauty wondered, “Strange, did he get scared silly?”
Although she was actually scolding himsellf, Lin Feng felt utterly refreshed.
He swallowed and asked softly, “You are…”
“This is the Peak Master of Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak!” an elder answered for her.
The Peak Master?
Isn’t that the Master of Jiang Chen and those three lunatics?!
Lin Feng was startled again.
He hadn’t forgotten that when he first met Qingning, he was also shocked by her beauty, but in the end, he was nearly buried alive!
And it happened twice!
Though reluctant in his heart, he forced himself to look away as he kept reminding himself.
‘The most poisonous woman’s heart! Old Man Tianji did not deceive me!’
He repeated this phrase in his heart like a mantra.
He felt that it was enough, but when he opened his eyes again, he was still captivated by Xiao Hongyi’s beauty.
Unable to extricate himself, his gaze became dull once more.
As for Xiao Hongyi, she would definitely feel disgusted if it were someone else staring at her so intently.
But for some reason, she always felt that Lin Feng was very approachable, and she didn’t think of it in any other way, just assuming that Lin Feng was indeed scared.
“Sigh.”
With a helpless sigh, Xiao Hongyi said, “Lin Feng, you have been injured by my disciples, and as their Master, I cannot shirk the blame. Since you do not wish to take me as your Master, I will give you some cultivation resources, and once your injuries are healed, I will personally see you off from the sect.”
Hm?
Lin Feng noticed something was off.
Her words sounded reasonable and beyond reproach, making it difficult to find fault.
This beautiful Master seemed to be quite sane…
With such beauty before him, it was hard for him not to be moved. But when he thought of Jiang Chen and the other three lunatics, he hesitated again.
Moreover, when he first met Qingning, Qingning also seemed normal, but didn’t she go mad in the end?
“Of course, if you bear no grudges and are willing to take me as your Master, I will teach you all I know. As for those disciples of mine, you need not worry. They are only temporarily mad. I have the Nine Abyss Soul Embryo, which, if not able to cure them, can suppress their condition,” Xiao Hongyi added.
After all, she still had a desire to nurture talent.
With just one glance, she could tell that Lin Feng was already in the late Human Origin stage.
With his age, coupled with Lin Feng’s extremely solid Core Formation, it was clear that Qingning’s message to the sect was correct.
This Lin Feng had cultivated an ancient technique and his talent was also exceptional!
Such a talent was hard for anyone to resist.
Lin Feng didn’t know what Xiao Hongyi was thinking, but upon hearing the words ‘Nine Abyss Soul Embryo’, the dormant Old Man Tianji actually sent out a wave of soul force!
Clearly, this item must be of great benefit to Old Man Tianji.
Lin Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Returning to the Lower Domain was a safe bet, but resources there were scarce, making it difficult to find the heavenly treasures needed to awaken Old Man Tianji.
At this moment, he changed his mind.
He was determined to join the Jiuyan Sect. Not for himself, but for Old Man Tianji!
He had always been so loyal and righteous!
“Master, please accept my bow!!” Lin Feng knelt down and kowtowed directly.
Such an abrupt change not only startled Xiao Hongyi but also the other Ninth Peak elders.
“You… you won’t reconsider?” Xiao Hongyi was astonished.
“No need to think it over!”
Lin Feng said resolutely, patting his chest and boasting, “It’s fate! When I first came to the Central Domain, there were so many madmen around, but why did I only meet the Master’s disciples? And three of them at that? This is fate! I have personally felt the destined bond between Master and disciple!”
“But you just said you’d rather die than take me as your master.”
“Before meeting Master, that was indeed my thought. But Master was brave enough to take responsibility for her disciple’s mistakes, and as the Ninth Peak’s Peak Master, you treated me with great respect. It’s my great fortune to be able to take you as my Master!”
“…I see.”
Although Xiao Hongyi felt something was off, she still accepted his explanation.
She raised her hand in a gesture of help, and after Lin Feng stood up, she said,
“The sect rules state that the true disciple of each peak is not solely decided by the Peak Master. Rest and heal your injuries. After you have fully recovered, you must pass the true disciple test and have your blood entered into the sect’s records before performing the ceremony of taking a master.”
The true disciple test?
These words filled Lin Feng with immense joy. He was familiar with tests!
In the Lower Domain, he had joined various forces and sects and naturally had undergone many tests of talent and fortune.
Without exception, he shocked the crowd with every test he took and caused a sensation.
In his eyes, these so-called tests were nothing more than stages prepared for him to show off!
An opportunity to soar and be the center of attention!
When the time came, if he attracted the competition of various Peak Masters and then resolutely took Xiao Hongyi as his Master, he would surely gain a wave of goodwill.
Taking the opportunity, he might even ask Xiao Hongyi for the Nine Abyss Soul Embryo, thus awakening Old Man Tianji!
Just thinking about it excited Lin Feng, feeling that his hardships were finally paying off.
After that, with the sect and Xiao Hongyi valuing him, what was there to fear from Jiang Chen and those three madmen?
“Master, rest assured, I will not let you down.” Lin Feng promised with a solemn expression.
Seeing his confidence, Xiao Hongyi smiled with satisfaction.
Worried that Lin Feng might have concerns, she added, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will be able to hurt you again.”
“Master, you’re too serious.”
Lin Feng smiled indifferently, not caring in the slightest, “Since I’ve chosen to take you as my Master, I naturally won’t hold a grudge against Second Senior Brother and the others for their past actions. Not only that, but I will also try to help them. However, about Eldest Senior Brother…”
“Jiang Chen, he…” Xiao Hongyi wanted to say some good words for Jiang Chen.
“Please hear me out, Master.”
Lin Feng interrupted with a hand gesture, still looking indifferent, “This time, although Eldest Senior Brother scared me quite a bit, I still ask that you do not punish him.”
“Why?” Xiao Hongyi was stunned.
“Ah.”
Lin Feng sighed, “Although Eldest Senior Brother’s behavior was improper, I can see that he is still kind-hearted at heart. I don’t want to make things difficult for you because of this.”
Xiao Hongyi fell silent. She was feeling somewhat tearful.
She had defended Jiang Chen countless times, but no one had ever stood by her side, considering her feelings.
When Qingning was young, although she also trusted Jiang Chen exceptionally, she never cared for Xiao Hongyi’s feelings as Lin Feng did.
“Sigh.”
Xiao Hongyi sighed, looking at Lin Feng with satisfaction.
With her cultivation and temperament, she would not easily believe someone based on a few words.
Yet, for some reason, the more she looked at Lin Feng, the more pleasing he became, and she had no doubts whatsoever.
‘I wouldn’t have to worry so much if Jiang Chen could be as understanding as this Lin Feng.’ She sighed again in her heart.
But just as this thought crossed her mind.
“Master? What’s wrong, why are you distracted?” Lin Feng’s concerned voice rang out.
“I… I feel a bit dizzy. You should go rest.”
“Oh.”
