“Ha ha ha...”
The two exchanged smiles. Although Yue Lingwei's words were somewhat exaggerated, they sufficiently conveyed the Cloud Pavilion Master's praise for Ye Tian.
“Peng Shibo is truly flattering,” Ye Tian waved his hand, modestly replying.
“Come on, what flattery? Right now in Cloud Sea Sect, you can truly be considered quite famous,” Yue Lingwei said while looking around, then shouted again, “Waiter, waiter! Bring the dishes!”
Seeing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile. Since Yue Lingwei and the others entered the room, they had hardly spent a single coin aside from a few small dishes provided by the restaurant. The wine was brought by Ye Tian, and the small dishes were merely a few plates of peanuts and vegetables. This was indeed somewhat embarrassing for a Chief Disciple of Falling Cloud Pavilion.
“Brother Yue, I actually want to ask you something,” Ye Tian said seriously after Yue Lingwei finished shouting.
“What is it?” After getting the food and drink, Yue Lingwei no longer held back and grabbed a few remaining peanuts from the plate.
Watching Yue Lingwei's actions, Ye Tian felt slightly moved. This person appeared bold and unrestrained but also had some delicate thoughts, which was not easy to find.
“So-called Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, what are their merits? Why does everyone fear them? Is it just because their father is the master of Cloud-Drifting Pavilion?” Ye Tian asked.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingwei showed a look of disdain and sneered, “They are incompetent and unworthy. If it weren't for that old scoundrel Qiu Tiande, they would be nothing!”
“Doesn't the sect master know that Qiu Tiande indulges his sons in wrongdoing?” Ye Tian asked again. During his time in Cloud Sea Sect, his impression of the sect master was only mysterious; at least he could see Divine Dragon occasionally, but the sect master was truly elusive like clouds and mist.
Thus, under such circumstances, the status of the Four Great Cloud Halls' Lord became even more prominent. Qiu Tiande was quite domineering; those who were newly accepted disciples might even regard him as the sect master without knowing better.
“The sect master's authority is beyond comprehension; how can we understand the thoughts of such big figures...” Yue Lingwei sighed lightly, with a tone full of helplessness.
“Brother Ye, can we change the topic?” Yue Lingwei seemed somewhat resistant to this matter because Qiu Tiande was not as easy to deal with as Qin Fufeng. He had previously encountered issues due to the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters but ultimately had to let it go due to his insufficient identity and strength. Of course, Yue Lingwei also wanted to call upon the sect master to seek justice, but things did not go as planned; the sect master never appeared to clarify matters. This incident had always been a thorn in Yue Lingwei's heart; although others did not think so, he always felt that because of this matter, people would view him as someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
“Alright.” Ye Tianxin was clever and naturally would not engage in annoying forced questioning.
“Let’s drink!” Yue Lingwei said somewhat gloomily and raised his cup again. Ye Tian clinked cups with him, and they both drank it all down.
Yue Lingwei's emotions came quickly and left just as fast. After finishing the wine, his spirits returned once more as he laughed and said, “Brother Ye, you've been here for a while now; you must have heard about various figures in our Cloud Sea Sect. How about you give us your thoughts on our Rising Star?”
"Ye Tian" smiled and said, "There are five members of the 'Rising Star': 'Xuanyuan Changfeng' from 'Cloudscroll Pavilion', 'Peng Suoming' from 'Falling Cloud Pavilion', 'Qin Fufeng' from 'Azure Cloud Pavilion', and 'Qiu Tiande' from 'Cloud-Drifting Pavilion'... and the Master of Yunhai Sect..."
"Hahaha, Brother Ye is making a good joke. I was talking about the disciples," "Duan Liu" patted "Ye Tian's" shoulder and continued, "But even so, you are wrong. Excluding the sect master, the first three are indeed 'Rising Stars', but as for 'Qiu Tiande'... he may deserve the title of 'Wind and Cloud', but he is not even worth mentioning. In my opinion, 'Qiu Tiande' from 'Cloud-Drifting Pavilion' is not worthy of the title of Wind and Cloud!"
After saying this, everyone burst into laughter, while in a corner of the inn, an unusual gaze quietly lit up.
"Ye Tian" sensed something and caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye; that unusual gaze came from the eyes of the waiter.
"Thunderstorm" once said that every tavern in "Chuiyun Town" has someone from the "Mountain" backing it up, and this inn is no exception. The waiter's gaze likely indicated that their backer had some connection with the "Qiu Family".
Thinking of this, "Ye Tian" diverted some attention to deliberately observe the waiter's actions.
"Wind and Cloud is not worth mentioning... Hahaha... Brother Ye, you continue; I need to laugh for a while..." "Yue Lingwei" found this not-so-funny joke amusing enough to laugh heartily, which was even more puzzling since it was his own joke.
"Ye Tian" ignored him and raised his cup to drink, but it was merely a feigned action; his real intention was to create an illusion that made it difficult for the waiter to observe him.
The waiter was perceptive, so "Ye Tian's" slight suspicion raised his alertness. However, upon seeing "Ye Tian" lift his head to drink, he thought it was the right moment.
He quickly took out a small box from his pocket. Opening it, a "Message Bug" flew out. The waiter skillfully tied a piece of paper to the "Message Bug", then casually waved his hand, sending the "Message Bug" fluttering away.
This series of actions was executed very skillfully; it seemed he had done this kind of signaling many times before.
"Hmph, just when one wave settles down another rises; it looks like another good fight is coming." Seeing this, "Ye Tian" couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. He wasn't afraid of fighting, but he was truly annoyed by this endless scheming. As the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. The "Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters" were indeed petty people; they had likely issued a “wanted notice” regarding "Ye Tian" among all their spies. If they had even the slightest opportunity, they would take measures to punish "Ye Tian".
Before this, "Yue Lingwei" had always been shouting, preventing the waiter from sending messages. Now that he finally caught a good opportunity, the "Message Bug" transmitted messages quickly; it wouldn't take two hours for assassins to arrive.
“Brother Ye, what are you thinking about?” After laughing, “Yue Lingwei” noticed “Ye Tian” seemed lost in thought and asked.
“Nothing much; where were we?” “Ye Tian” snapped back to reality. Whether it was assassins or killers didn't matter; anyone who dared come would have no return.
“We were talking about 'Rising Star'.” As “Yue Lingwei” spoke, the waiter had already brought over the dishes—four meat and four vegetarian dishes that were quite sumptuous.
“Oh...” “Ye Tian” nodded and pondered for a moment before jokingly saying, “The 'Rising Star' must be the Chief Disciple of the 'Four Great Cloud Halls'. If Brother Yue wants praise, just say so directly; there’s no need to go around in circles.”
"Hahaha, you little rascal, such sharp words. But to be honest, you really have seen through my little thoughts!" Yue Lingwei laughed heartily without any pretense.
"Eat up, eat up." The other disciples of Falling Cloud Pavilion moved their chopsticks after letting Ye Tian pass.
"Wait." Ye Tian's expression changed slightly as he stopped everyone.
The others looked puzzled at first, but when they saw Ye Tian's gaze sweep over the dishes, they suddenly understood. However, they didn't take it seriously and thought to themselves, "There can't be that many sinister plots."
Of course, Ye Tian was just being cautious. After all, the waiter had already sent out a message notifying the assassins, so poisoning the dishes was not out of the question.
Yue Lingwei frowned slightly and after a moment nodded at Ye Tian. Then she pretended to eat but was actually testing for poison.
"Everyone, dig in!" After confirming there was no poison, Yue Lingwei prompted.
With her encouragement, everyone began to eat and drink naturally, as if nothing had happened just moments ago.
"Brother Ye is overly cautious." Yue Lingwei whispered using Secret Silver to avoid raising the waiter's suspicion.
"I just saw that waiter send a Message Bug. I estimate trouble will arrive soon. Today I had a pleasant conversation with Brother Yue, but since things have taken a turn, I can only leave first," Ye Tian replied using Secret Sound Technique.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingwei nodded and replied, "That's fine; it would be better to avoid dragging Brother Ye into this."
"Dragging me into this?" Ye Tian was confused. He was clearly worried about dragging Yue Lingwei into trouble, yet it seemed to have reversed in her words.
"Naturally dragging you in. I'm used to this kind of thing. Every time I come down the mountain and reveal my name, within two hours, the Qiu Family's Twin Dogs' assassins will definitely show up. Damn it, it's exhausting," Yue Lingwei said without using Secret Silver because the waiter was sneaking glances in their direction.
As soon as these words left Yue Lingwei's mouth, the waiter immediately shrank back and hurried into the back room, clearly feeling guilty.
"Oh, I see. To be honest, I thought they were coming solely for me. I didn't expect Brother Yue to have more experience with those dogs than I do," Ye Tian couldn't help but smile. It was indeed a coincidence to meet someone like Yue Lingwei today.
"Haha, have you encountered them too?" Yue Lingwei laughed loudly. He had deep-seated grievances with the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters and had experienced numerous assassination attempts; he had always thought he was fighting alone until today when he found a new ally.
"Haha, let's drink!" Ye Tian also found it amusing and raised his cup for a hearty drink. Naturally, Yue Lingwei followed suit as they both drank three cups in quick succession, feeling quite pleased.
Putting down his wine cup, Yue Lingwei suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled, "Continuing from our previous topic, do you know who among the disciples of Cloud Sea Sect can be considered a Rising Star?"
"Brother Yue must certainly be one. The young and talented Thunderstorm from Cloud-Drifting Pavilion, and Ji Lianyue from Azure Cloud Pavilion, who, despite being a woman, occupies the position of chief disciple, which is truly not easy. They should both be considered Rising Stars," Ye Tian said while playing with his wine cup, reflecting carefully.
He mentioned all three chief disciples of Cloud Pavilion, but only Li Xun from their own pavilion was left out. Yue Lingwei smiled and asked, "Why not mention Li Xun?"
"Hehe, to be honest, Li Shixiong is too narrow-minded; I'm afraid he can't be considered a significant figure," Ye Tian did not hide his disdain for Li Xun.
"Indeed, however, Thunderstorm isn't much better. He spends all day flirting with Qiu Tiande's eldest daughter; he's just a pretty boy. As for Ji Lianyue, hehe, let's not mention her; she certainly doesn't count as a significant figure either," Yue Lingwei commented one by one.
Yue Lingwei's words shocked Ye Tianxin. Thunderstorm flirting with Qiu Tiande's eldest daughter? Did Sister Ningyue know about this?
Of course, Ye Tian wouldn't discuss such matters in detail in front of Yue Lingwei. He quickly regained his composure and asked with a smile, "Is Brother Yue the only Rising Star among the disciples of Cloud Sea Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingwei laughed heartily and said, "It used to be so, but now there is one more!"
At this point, Yue Lingwei paused for a moment before suddenly becoming serious and said, "Looking across the entire Cloud Sea Sect, only two people dare to confront Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters: one is me, and the other is you, Brother Ye!"
"So if we are to talk about the Rising Stars among the disciples of Cloud Sea Sect, it can only be us two!"
