The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 248: A Confounded Ye Feng, Firmly Declining
“Sect Master Ye, long time no see.”

Mo Tianlong stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze serene and clear, like a pristine spring—innocent as a child.

The likes of Mo Minxi and the Blue Dragon King, standing behind him, were silent, faces tranquil as they quietly observed Misty Peak.

Ye Feng glanced at Mo Minxi, veiled in a light haze, feeling that her gaze seemed somewhat resentful.

“How strange!”

Ye Feng scratched his head, thinking he shouldn’t have offended Mo Minxi, so why was she looking at him that way?

Full of questions, Ye Feng asked, “I wonder what brings you all the way here?”

Mo Tianlong smiled and said, “We’re here to discuss serious matters, but before that, doesn’t Sect Master Ye plan to offer us a cup of tea?”

Ye Feng slapped his forehead, opened the shield of the Five Elements Continuous Array, and said, “Esteemed guests from the Myriad Islands Alliance, please come inside!”

On the grass.

Elder Gong Qingqiu was instructing many disciples.

They lifted their heads and saw the formidable procession led by Mo Tianlong, feeling an immense pressure that shook their very spirits.

“They must all be at least high-order Element Gathering Realm. Who exactly are they?” Mo Ying observed Mo Tianlong and the Blue Dragon King, sensing an abyssal, ocean-like aura.

This is… the Spirit Sea Realm!

Especially Mo Tianlong—his aura far exceeded that of the Blue Dragon King, radiating a kind of majestic grandeur, likely a peak-level powerhouse of the Spirit Sea Realm.

“It’s the Myriad Islands Alliance!”

Elder Gong Qingqiu, looking at Mo Minxi’s attire, guessed something and said, “This lady is the Young Alliance Leader of the Myriad Islands Alliance, Mo Minxi. Rumor has it she has supreme grade talent and is already a renowned prodigy, possessing high-order Element Gathering Realm strength at a young age.”

“That strong?”

The disciples of the Misty Sect were deeply shaken.

The next moment, they saw Mo Tianlong and his entourage land on the ground, bowing their hands toward Ye Feng, as if they were peers, and said, “Master Ye’s Misty Sect, not bad at all!”

Although Misty Peak was not large, the spiritual energy there was rich, especially the Purifying Green Lotus that constantly exuded a fragrant scent, drawing the attention of Mo Tianlong and the others.

In their eyes, the Misty Sect seemed much stronger than many One-Star Sects.

Although it had not yet been recognized as a Star-Level Sect, Mo Tianlong saw it as a matter of time.

In the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.

Ye Feng sat in the seat of honour, Mo Tianlong on the first guest seat, while Mo Minxi, the Blue Dragon King, and the others all took their places on the side.

As it was a meeting between the heads of two major sects, disciples like Mo Ying and Shi Lei could not enter the hall; they could only wait outside.

Only the Outer Sect Elder Gong Qingqiu was permitted inside.

At their seats.

Elder Gong Qingqiu struggled to maintain her composure.

This was her first time seeing Mo Tianlong, a peak-level powerhouse of the Spirit Sea Realm, and her heart was filled with excitement.

The thought that he had come to visit Ye Feng of his own accord left her even more astounded.

She increasingly felt that joining the Misty Sect was a very wise decision.

At that moment, Ye Feng looked at the somewhat crowded Sect Leader’s Great Hall, resolving to prepare sufficient materials in the future to make the hall grand enough.

Alternatively, he considered transforming the Sect Leader’s Great Hall into a Miniature Cave Heaven World, spacious enough to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people.

After two rounds of Spiritual Tea, Mo Tianlong set down his teacup.

“Master Ye, I have come bringing some treasures, hoping you will accept them,” Mo Tianlong said with a wave of his hand, causing five treasure boxes to appear on the ground.

Upon opening, rich spiritual energy surged out.

Middle Grade Spirit Stones, Special Refining Materials, Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts…

The contents of the five treasure boxes had a total value exceeding ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones; even an average One-Star Sect, stripped of all assets, might not be able to assemble such wealth.

Ye Feng and Elder Gong Qingqiu exchanged glances, both bewildered.

“What does Alliance Hierarch Mo intend?” Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

“Haha, just a modest gift. Mainly, I’m here to propose marriage to Master Ye for my daughter Min Xi. If you’re willing to unite with Min Xi, these tokens of meeting are all for your sect,” Mo Tianlong said, getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.

With a “pfft” sound.

Ye Feng spat out all the tea in his mouth.

“What’s the matter, Master Ye? Are you unwilling?” the Blue Dragon King wiped the tea off his face, his expression slightly displeased.

Spitting out water is one thing, but why on my face?

And more importantly, why only on me?

The Blue Dragon King was a bit frustrated.

Ye Feng hastily put down his teacup, glanced at Mo Minxi sitting with her head held high and a somewhat resentful expression, and finally understood why.

“It looks like Mo Minxi is unwilling, and I am unwilling too!” Ye Feng thought to himself.

This was his genuine feeling.

Although he could see that Mo Minxi was very beautiful, like a celestial fairy, his own secrets were too many, and he was not suitable for having a cultivation companion at the moment.

In Ye Feng’s view, only when he had the power to stand on his own and no longer had to worry about others taking his treasures could he consider finding a girl to join in matrimony.

But for now, his eyes were only on the development of the sect.

Only if the sect was powerful could he become stronger.

Thus, Ye Feng spoke out, “This Sect Leader is very moved and thinks that Daoist Mo Minxi is indeed like a heavenly immortal, causing fish to sink and birds to fall, and flowers to close in shame. Truly a rare beauty, however, I refuse.”

Hearing the initial compliments, Mo Minxi’s face flushed red, and she thought to herself that Ye Feng really had a slick tongue, and his words were rather pleasing to hear, which she liked very much.

But the twist at the end left everyone stunned.

That was Mo Minxi!

She was a supreme talent with exceptional spiritual roots, the future leader of the Myriad Islands Alliance. Marrying her would be like gaining the Two-Star Forces of the Myriad Islands Alliance.

And yet, Ye Feng had refused!

“Since Master Ye praises my beauty so, why then do you refuse?” Mo Minxi was a bit displeased, but more curious.

Ye Feng had just praised her to the skies, so why suddenly refuse?

She couldn’t understand it.

Mo Tianlong, the Blue Dragon King, Elder Gong Qingqiu, and others also turned their gazes to Ye Feng, waiting for his answer.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng smiled and said, “A melon forced off its vine is not sweet, mutual affection is the key to a lasting relationship. I believe everyone present understands this more than I do.”

His words were very sensible.

All those present were old foxes and understood the implication immediately.

There was no emotional foundation between Mo Minxi and Ye Feng, so mutual affection was out of the question, and so-called love at first sight was merely a superficial lust.

Therefore, Ye Feng refused.

However, Mo Tianlong saw through the key point and laughed, “In that case, if Sect Master Ye requires an emotional foundation, how about this: Min Xi, you can interact more with Master Ye in the future. Once the feelings have developed, there will still be time to formally propose marriage.”

Ye Feng: “???”

Mo Minxi: “???”

Both were filled with question marks.

“My point is, we can let this matter rest now, no need for any follow-up or to develop any feelings!” Ye Feng cried out in his heart.

The reason he refused was to ensure sufficient private space.

Yet, Mo Tianlong had misunderstood…

Indeed, those who cut off their darker sides are too pure, their thinking too simplistic; such people aren’t cunning enough, and sometimes communication with them is inconvenient.

“Alright, let’s decide on this then. From today onward, our Myriad Islands Alliance and Misty Sect will interact with each other, and I also hope that Master Ye will communicate more with my daughter. Farewell!” Mo Tianlong put down his teacup and stood up, walking towards the outside of the great hall.

“The gifts on the floor…”

“Consider these as the welcoming gifts from me, the Alliance Hierarch, to your sect. If Master Ye and my daughter become a pair, there will be additional congratulatory gifts.”

Mo Tianlong’s hearty laughter echoed.

Under Ye Feng’s gaze, a huge blue dragon appeared beneath Mo Tianlong’s feet, carrying Mo Minxi, the Blue Dragon King, and the others as they flew away from Misty Peak.

“Is it really over like this?”

Ye Feng stood frozen on the spot.
