In Southern Wilderness Town, the Lin family is a top-tier giant. In such a powerful faction, securing a position is not easy, let alone climbing to the top.
However, with just one sentence from Ye Tian, the middle-aged woman Flower San Niang was promoted to the leader of Star Hall. This directly allowed her to save several years, even over a decade of time and effort, achieving her goal in one fell swoop.
In fact, Ye Tian could have arranged for her to work at the Lin family's main hall; it was merely a matter of saying a few words. However, Ye Tian did not want to do that. Firstly, Flower San Niang did not possess such high abilities, and secondly, a sudden rise to prominence could lead to subtle psychological changes that might not be beneficial.
Even so, Flower San Niang was still overwhelmed with gratitude. She had been in the thankless position in the intelligence department for nearly ten years, dedicating her prime years without making any progress. Now that she had suddenly become the leader of a hall, how could she not be overjoyed?
"Young Master Ye, I was blind before and failed to recognize your greatness. I hope you won't hold it against me," Flower San Niang said, wishing she could find a hole to hide in when recalling past events.
Ye Tian smiled and indicated that he did not take it to heart. Moreover, if Flower San Niang had not previously shown loyalty to the Lin family, he would not have spoken up for her in front of Lin Qingfeng.
"Your kindness is something I will never forget in this lifetime, Young Master. Although my humble abode is modest, I still wish to invite you over," Flower San Niang said sincerely. Compared to her previous image as a dusty old madam, the leader of Star Hall was indeed different.
With her change in status, her demeanor transformed as well.
"That's enough; it was merely a small favor. Besides, your position as the leader of Star Hall is well-deserved," Ye Tian declined modestly. At this moment, he wished he could return to the mountains immediately and share his knowledge of formations and martial arts with everyone. He was also eager to delve into research on the half Blood Leech King's Inner Pill he had.
Although there was no immediate pressure at hand, improving his strength had become an urgent matter in his mind.
"So... when will you return?" Flower San Niang asked shyly.
This left Ye Tian feeling extremely awkward. Yun'er was right beside him; he couldn't let her misunderstand that he had issues with the androgynous Hua Yu Gongzi or that he was involved with this thirty-four-year-old woman. That would be disastrous.
However, Ye Tian's worries were clearly unnecessary because Yun'er had never taken these matters seriously. Previously, she only used Hua Yu Gongzi as an excuse to tease Ye Tian.
"I don't know about that either, Flower San Niang, take care." Ye Tian cupped his hands and quickly turned to leave.
Yun'er chased after him with a playful smile, saying in a teasing tone, "Although you're a bit older, your looks are still decent, and you still have charm."
Hearing this, Ye Tian felt uneasy and turned to look back, only to see Yun'er gazing up at the sky as if she weren't even talking to him.
"How strange," Ye Tian muttered, avoiding Yun'er as he went to find Lin Qingfeng and the others. Yun'er giggled and followed him.
Along the way, everyone pressed Ye Tian for details about how he defeated the Abbot of the Arhat Hall. Of course, Ye Tian wouldn't tell them about his unfortunate encounter with the formidable Blood Leech King, nor would he reveal that he had seen the true form of a celestial-level figure like the Master of Yunhai Sect.
"Defeating him was extremely simple; it was just that I arrived too late, and the Brothers of the Star Hall unfortunately met with disaster," Ye Tian said nonchalantly, not hiding the fact that Blood Leech had drained blood. However, what he said wasn't entirely boasting; if the Abbot of the Arhat Hall were merely the heavenly master of the Arhat Hall, it wouldn't be difficult for him to defeat him.
With a Seventh-Dan Martial Artist, a Fourth Spirit Capsule, and Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, along with other secret techniques, the Abbot of the Arhat Hall would only be severely suppressed against these.
By the time they returned to the Lin family, it was already afternoon. Lin Qingfeng ordered preparations for a banquet, declaring that he would make sure to subdue Ye Tian at the table.
Naturally, Ye Tian didn't dare to show any defiance and could only meekly plead for mercy.
Feeling extremely pleased with himself, Lin Qingfeng left after saying, "Don't even think about it."
Once Lin Qingfeng was gone, Ye Tian decisively pulled Yun'er and sneaked out of the Lin family.
He didn't want to get completely drunk. After the assassination incident, Luo Shanshan had undergone a significant change in character, turning from bad to good, and was now able to get along well with everyone. Her matters were well arranged. Meanwhile, with the demise of the Blood Leech King, the threat posed by the Abbot of the Arhat Hall had also vanished.
With this matter settled, it was time to hurry back to the Cloud Sea Sect. Ye Tian was eager to see the power of the formation.
In the evening, Ye Tian and Yun'er finally appeared before the Mountain Gate.
Looking at the three grand characters carved on the majestic Mountain Gate, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the Cloud Sea Sect and Cloudscar, a major sect from years ago, known for its extraordinary powers.
"Cloud Sea Sect..." Ye Tian murmured quietly.
"Who goes there?" A voice questioned from ahead. A month ago, the Cloud Sea Sect had opened the Mountain Gate to recruit disciples, so many Newly Accepted Disciples had come to the Mountain recently.
As for the role of the Newly Accepted Disciples, they mostly handled menial tasks like guarding the Mountain Gate in the past few months. However, after Ye Tian arrived and became a direct disciple, he naturally did not experience that.
"Disciple Ye Tian from Cloudscroll Pavilion," Ye Tian replied kindly. These new brothers and sisters certainly did not recognize this boy who was about their age but already possessed a Cloud Token.
"And you?" The person ignored Ye Tian and looked up at Yun'er instead.
At that moment, a figure flashed out from the nearby forest with great speed and quickly approached.
The several Gatekeeper Disciples' eyes lit up; just by observing the person's movements, they knew he was not an ordinary disciple. They hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This senior brother must be back from a mission?"
The person disdainfully acknowledged them with a cold grunt. Then, he casually glanced at Ye Tian, and his expression changed instantly as he rushed into the mountain.
The Gatekeeper Disciples no longer inquired about his identity and followed behind him, repeatedly calling out "Senior Brother, take care," their flattery evident.
After sending off the unknown senior brother from some pavilion, they turned back to stare at Ye Tian and Yun'er, their expressions suddenly becoming arrogant. After all, that previous fellow had come and gone like the wind with Skyward Martial Arts, while Ye Tian and Yun'er walked step by step to the Mountain Gate. The contrast was indeed significant, making it hard for these ignorant gatekeepers to take them seriously.
"Are you going to answer my question? Where are you from?"
This attitude was quite rude, and Ye Tian's expression turned slightly displeased. He could tolerate their rudeness towards himself, but he would not allow it when it came to Yun'er.
Moreover, they were the type to look down on others, which was one of Ye Tian's pet peeves.
However, Ye Tian did not explode immediately because these Gatekeeper Disciples were clearly newcomers. They might think that guarding the Mountain Gate was a crucial task, and being sent here meant they were valued, which made them feel superior.
In fact, the elder who arranged for them to guard the gate said as much. After all, no senior disciples were willing to take on this tough job, but these newcomers were different; a few kind words had them eagerly standing guard.
They even believed they had gained the sect's favor by guarding the Mountain Gate! What an important mission!
Ye Tian had been at Cloud Sea Sect for nearly a year and was well aware of these little tricks. Seeing the demeanor of these fools, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
They didn't stop to think that the prestigious Cloud Sea Sect dominated the Square Area for thousands of miles. Who would dare to storm the Mountain Gate? It would be like lighting a lantern in a toilet—seeking death.
Moreover, even if a powerful figure did attempt to breach the Mountain Gate, could ordinary junior disciples withstand it? Ye Tian suspected that Master of Yunhai Sect, Cloudscar, had an incredibly terrifying level of perception. Otherwise, how could he have arrived in time when the Blood Leech King emerged from thousands of miles away?
If someone capable of drawing his attention approached Cloud Sea Sect's Mountain Gate, he would undoubtedly be aware of it immediately.
"You say you are an ordinary commoner," Ye Tian said with the intention of 'teaching' these two arrogant fools a lesson, leaning over to whisper to Yun'er.
"What are you mumbling about, sneaking around?" one of the Gatekeeper Disciples barked with authority.
"I come from Divine Wood County and am just an ordinary commoner," Yun'er replied in perfect sync with Ye Tian. Even if Ye Tian hadn't told her to say that, she still wanted to tease these two condescending boys.
"An ordinary commoner dares to come here? Do you know what kind of place this is? Is this somewhere you can come?" The leading disciple placed his hands on his hips, striking a pose of superiority.
"This is Cloud Sea Sect, isn't it?" Yun'er feigned surprise and asked.
"This is Cloud Sea Sect, but it's not a place for someone like you," the man replied while eyeing Yun'er up and down with a sneaky gaze. After all, Yun'er was exceptionally beautiful; any ordinary man would be captivated by her looks.
"He's probably trying to show off in front of you before letting you in, hoping you'll feel grateful," Ye Tian teased using the Secret Sound Technique.
"Hehe, then I'll just spend a few days getting to know him," Yun'er replied with a smile.
"That's great! I’ll be free again," Ye Tian laughed as well.
The two communicated through the Secret Sound Technique, their expressions changing frequently while leaving the Gatekeeper Disciples aside.
"Hey, kid, didn't you hear me talking to you? You seem to be getting a bit too friendly with the girl!" The leading Gatekeeper Disciple was filled with jealousy, thinking to himself, "This girl is too good for that guy. Why would she flirt with him instead of someone like me, who has an important role?"
"Flirt? She's actually my fiancée; how could there be any ill intentions?" Ye Tian retorted.
Upon hearing this, the others were instantly surprised, thinking, "How could such a stunning beauty be interested in this guy? It's like putting flowers in cow dung—what a waste!"
One of them quickly seized the opportunity to provoke him, saying, "So you're saying you want to bring your family into the mountain? Who do you think you are, a Cloud Token?"
Before they came to guard the Mountain Gate, the elders had instructed them that direct disciples and those with Cloud Tokens were highly esteemed; many elders would treat them with respect and never offend them.
"What is a Cloud Token?" Ye Tian pretended to be confused while secretly enjoying the situation. It was quite amusing to tease these Dog Eyes Look Down on People types.
