Chapter 40 - Wishful Thinking!

Ling Feng furrowed his brows, for having been sent to the lineage of Duanmu Qingshan, he was isolated by the Inner Sect, making it impossible for him to possess an Identity Token.

However, he did possess a Sect Leader Token.

Ling Feng didn’t bother to fight with them, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He directly took out the Sect Leader Jade Token from his bosom, flashed it, and said coldly, “Then take a look, what is this?”

Though these two Outer Disciples had never seen a Sect Leader Token, they knew what the “Immortal” character in the center meant

In the Wenxian Sect, only the tokens representing Elders and the Sect Leader were engraved with the “Immortal” character.

Ordinary disciples would have their respective Inner and Outer Sect statuses marked, and those tokens were usually made of cheap bronze or black iron.

“This token…” the disciple on the right twitched his eyelid, “You…

you are Ling Feng?”

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and tucked away the token, “Can I go in now?”

“Ye…

yes.” The disciple on the right swallowed hard, hurriedly pulled the disciple on the left aside, and said to Ling Feng with a forced smile, “Please come in, Senior Brother.”

Ling Feng didn’t pay them any more attention, took a deep breath, executed his movement technique, and continued to ascend the steps.

The disciple on the left watched Ling Feng’s retreating figure and wondered, “Senior Brother Zuo, what’s with Ling Feng?

How come I didn’t know we had such a young Elder in the Inner Sect?”

“You fool, that was the Sect Leader Token!

Do you know who this Ling Feng is?

Recently, not only did he make the Guardian Elder bow his head, but he also slew Brother Xiao Qingfeng from the Inner Sect with a single strike.

Strangely, the Sect Leader didn’t even pursue it!

Think about it, is he someone we can afford to offend?”

“Gulp.” The Outer Disciple swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine, his back soaked with sweat, “Thank goodness you pulled me aside in time, Senior Brother Zuo, otherwise, I might have really lost my life.”

After Wenxian Sect’s mountain gate, there was a huge square, where Outer Disciples usually practiced cultivation, but today, an unusually large number of Inner Sect Disciples appeared, even the elusive True Disciples had suddenly shown up.

“What day is it today?

Why have so many Inner Sect’s Senior Brothers suddenly appeared?”

“Have you gone dumb with cultivation?

Haven’t you heard?

Miss Yue from the Cangqiong Sect has graced our Wenxian Sect with her presence.

Those Inner Sect Senior Brothers, of course, are vying to welcome her.

Just think, if they make a good impression on Miss Yue, they could rise to great heights!”

“Damn, then…

what about us…”

“Stop dreaming.

I heard Miss Yue is here to find Brother Yun Zheng who is a True Disciple of Sect Leader’s lineage.

How could such good fortune fall upon us Outer Disciples?”

“Ah, such is life!”

The Outer Disciples talked among themselves, were pushed to a corner by groups of Inner Sect Disciples, and were even directly expelled to avoid startling Miss Yue.

And this time, the one responsible for welcoming Miss Yue was not the Sect Leader nor any Peak Master, but Yun Zheng, who had once briefly encountered Yue Yunlan.

That was also what Sect Leader Lin Canglang intended; without these oldies around, these young people could better “perform.”

If Yun Zheng really won Yue Yunlan’s favor, the entire Wenxian Sect would ascend to the skies.

Before long, indeed, two graceful young women were received by the Mountain Guarding Disciples and nearly all the male disciples present were absolutely astonished.

Not to mention Miss Yue, even the maid beside her was a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers!

Yun Zheng and his group immediately went up to greet the two ladies, bowing, “This humble one is Yun Zheng, I have seen Miss Yue!”o meet the two young ladies.”

“Red Flame Ridge?” Qiaoqiao pursed her lips in thought, “I don’t remember, Miss, do you?”

Yue Yunlan didn’t respond but felt a faint trace of memory and lightly nodded her head, then said no more.

Yun Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, secretly overjoyed in his heart.

So, Miss Yue actually did remember him, which meant she had definitely come to see him!

With his handsome looks and abundant flirting skills, even if she were some high and mighty young lady, she would inevitably fall into his hands!

At that moment, heh heh…

Thinking this, Yun Zheng almost drooled, but his acting skills were excellent.

He maintained a graceful demeanor, slightly smiling, “I have long heard of Miss Yue toppling cities with her beauty, with a face that could make fish sink and birds fall.

Today I am fortunate to have Miss Yue grace us with her presence, and so my fellow disciples wanted to come see what a fairy looks like.”

It must be said that Yun Zheng was quite the smooth talker, casually transforming Yue Yunlan into a fairy with his words.

However, Yue Yunlan, having encountered countless sycophants from a young age, had seen many who were more eloquent and extraordinarily talented, and Yun Zheng was hardly the first.

Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she felt a trace of dislike for this Yun Zheng.

She suspected he thought that because they had once met, her visit to Asking Immortal Sect was specifically to see him.

How presumptuous!

Qiaoqiao, sharp and clever as ever, also noticed this dynamic and couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.

Her bright eyes widened as she scolded playfully, “We’ve seen enough now, you should all disperse!

Our Miss is not here for you!”

Yun Zheng’s face changed slightly, showing embarrassment.

Yue Yunlan was not here for him?

Then who else could she possibly be here for?

Were there any other young talents worth Yue Yunlan’s direct attention in Asking Immortal Sect?

Many surrounding disciples secretly snickered.

This time, Yun Zheng truly lost face.

What was this?

A toad lusting after swan meat!

Those from the Outer Sect felt even more secretly thrilled—Seeing you Inner Sect disciples usually act so high and mighty, brandishing your authority.

Humph, but now in front of Miss of Cangqiong Sect, you’re nothing more than dogs!

“May I know, Miss Yue, what brings you here this time?” Yun Zheng forced down his embarrassment, giving a sheepish smile.

As Yue Yunlan parted her lips to speak, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure approaching from the gate.

It was none other than Ling Feng!

Ling Feng was wrapped in a fluffy fur coat, yet oddly wore long pants, presenting a somewhat incongruous appearance that amused Yue Yunlan: How did he end up dressed like that?

Clearly, she hadn’t expected to encounter Ling Feng here, her eyes smiling into crescents, a slight smile also gracing her face.

That smile, like a refreshing spring breeze, intoxicated the soul.

However, to Yun Zheng, seeing this scene only fueled the fire of rage within him, with one thought pounding in his mind: Who the hell is that guy!
