Finally, the various abnormalities within his body settled down, and Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes once again.
The first face he saw was surprisingly Cloudscar, which left him quite astonished.
"Master..."
"You owe me another favor, kid. You say you owe me so many favors; how are you ever going to repay them?" Cloudscar said with a smile.
"I owe you a favor again?" Ye Tian was puzzled, as he couldn't recall what had happened before due to his unconsciousness.
"Hey, still not willing to admit it, are you?" Cloudscar seemed to be in a good mood, joking around.
If anyone else had witnessed this scene, they would likely be shocked. Cloudscar was a figure at the pinnacle of Divine Wood County, someone whom countless people looked up to. The fact that he was joking with Ye Tian was enough to demonstrate Ye Tian's uniqueness.
"No, no, no, I’m just a bit confused," Ye Tian waved his hands repeatedly. However, he was surprised to find that he didn't feel any pain from injuries at all.
"I'm telling you, you owe me half of the Blood Leech King Inner Pill Essence, and I also helped suppress the violent power that could have taken your life," Cloudscar explained.
"Half of the Blood Leech King Inner Pill Essence?" Ye Tian became even more bewildered by this explanation.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about that. Don't you want to try out your skills?" Cloudscar laughed.
"Why?" Ye Tian felt like he was wrapped in a fog; nothing seemed to connect.
"Because you've broken through." After a pause, Cloudscar added, "Let's talk outside; that Sister of yours is so worried she's about to cry."
Upon hearing this, warmth and happiness filled Ye Tian's heart. He knew that the Sister Cloudscar mentioned must be Yun'er.
As he pushed open the door, the glaring yet warm sunlight poured in. Yun'er stood in the courtyard, her gaze vacant and clearly troubled.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she quickly stood up. At first, she thought it was Cloudscar coming out, but when she saw that it was Ye Tian, she jumped up in joy.
She immediately hugged Ye Tian tightly without saying a word, simply lost in silent happiness.
The two embraced for a long time until Cloudscar cleared his throat a couple of times, prompting them to finally separate.
"I estimate that you should at least have reached the late stage of Martial Sovereign Level Four by now. You can give it a try," Cloudscar said.
"Breakthrough? Didn't I just suffer serious injuries? How could I possibly break through?" Ye Tian asked in confusion.
"Sometimes misfortune brings good fortune; it's all thanks to the Sect Master and your Master. You should thank them," Yun'er urged happily.
"Come on, there's no way it's all due to misfortune bringing good fortune," Ye Tian still didn't believe it.
"Ahem, as the Master of Yunhai Sect, do I lack this little credibility?" Cloudscar said with frustration.
"..." Ye Tian was speechless and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just can't believe that I keep turning misfortunes into blessings."
At that moment, Xuanyuan Changfeng and Qin Fufeng rushed over. Qin Fufeng had a mischievous grin on his face as he said, "Someone has taken a liking to you."
"Who? Her?" Ye Tian pointed at Yun'er and said, "She's liked me for a long time."
Yun'er blushed and lightly hit Ye Tian.
"I meant him!" Qin Fufeng pointed at Cloudscar and burst into laughter.
Everyone followed his gaze, and at the end of it stood the helplessly amused Master of Yunhai Sect, Cloudscar.
"I say, Junior Brother Qin, how can you make jokes without considering the occasion or identity?" Cloudscar pretended to be angry.
"Oh please, I know exactly what kind of person you are. We're not that different; stop pretending to be serious," Qin Fufeng replied. This wasn't entirely nonsense; among their group of senior brothers from back in the day, he and Cloudscar were closest in age and temperament, naturally forming a close bond.
After Cloudscar became the leader, the two could no longer joke around in public. However, today, Qin Fufeng felt there were no outsiders, so he took the opportunity to tease Cloudscar.
For this kind of situation, Cloudscar could only smile wryly, lamenting his poor choice of friends and regretting his lack of authority in daily interactions. After today, his lofty image would likely vanish in the minds of Ye Tian and others.
“Nonsense, Uncle Qin, how can you talk such nonsense? The leader is not someone like you,” Ye Tian said, joking with Qin Fufeng as usual. However, this remark was clearly aimed at mocking Cloudscar.
“Rude, simply rude! Ye Tian, don’t get involved in this,” Xuanyuan Changfeng quickly pretended to reprimand Ye Tian. Although he knew that Cloudscar valued Ye Tian, he was unaware that their relationship had reached a point where they could joke with each other.
In fact, before waking up, Ye Tian had not felt that he and Cloudscar shared such a relaxed relationship. It was only after Cloudscar made several jokes in succession that he realized the esteemed Master of Yunhai Sect also had a down-to-earth side.
“Alas... the image I worked so hard to establish has been ruined today!” Cloudscar sighed deeply and added, “I can no longer stay here in shame!”
With that, golden clouds rose beneath his feet as he ascended into the sky.
Once Cloudscar left in a huff, Ye Tian and Qin Fufeng burst into laughter. Then, unusually, with funding from Xuanyuan Changfeng, they decided to indulge in a night of drinking.
As night fell, a small group consisting of Ye Tian, Yun'er, Qin Fufeng, Xuanyuan Changfeng, Duan Liu, and Cold Moon stealthily slipped out from Cloud Sea Sect.
They headed to the best tavern in Divine Wood County, known for its finest food and wine...
“Old man Xuanyuan, I didn’t realize you were quite wealthy!” teased Qin Fufeng.
“Just my savings...” replied Xuanyuan Changfeng with a helpless expression. He then added, “To be honest, this meal isn’t on me.”
“Oh? Then who is it?” asked Qin Fufeng.
“It’s Li Xun.”
“Li Xun?” exclaimed Ye Tian, somewhat surprised but quickly understanding. After all, Li Xun was not the kind of person who would act immorally; it was normal for someone who had suffered for another to express gratitude.
“Exactly, it’s Li Xun.”
"Then why hasn't he come?" Ye Tian asked again.
"He said he couldn't face you and asked me to apologize on his behalf," Xuanyuan Changfeng replied.
"What does that even mean? I never said I held a grudge against him, so why should he apologize?" Ye Tian said dismissively.
"I'm glad you can think that way, but he also mentioned wanting to leave Cloud Sea Sect," Xuanyuan Changfeng sighed.
"Why?" Ye Tian had a vague suspicion but felt it was inappropriate to voice it.
"What else could it be? He feels ashamed; after all, he has already said so," Qin Fufeng interjected while drinking.
"Really, where is he now? I'm going to find him," Ye Tian stood up. He had already let go of past grievances and was determined not to let Li Xun leave.
"Don't bother; he won't come," Xuanyuan Changfeng smiled mysteriously and said, "I was just testing your character. In fact, I've already sent him out for training."
"Training? Where did he go?" Ye Tian's heart stirred, wondering if he had gone to the same place as Guan Yangyu.
Seemingly sensing Ye Tian's thoughts, Xuanyuan Changfeng nodded and said, "That's right, it's Seamless Horizon; Guan Yangyu is there too."
"The Beach Line?" Duan Liu stopped chewing on his chicken leg and said with great longing, "I want to go to the beach too."
"Beach my foot; that's the Beach Line. You fool," Cold Moon hit him lightly and laughed.
"See, my eldest disciple knows more," Qin Fufeng said proudly.
No one paid attention to his self-praise and all focused their gaze on Xuanyuan Changfeng.
"Master, what kind of place is Seamless Horizon? What mission are they carrying out there?" Ye Tian asked, eager to know Guan Yangyu's whereabouts.
"From the name alone, you can hardly imagine the dangers there. Between Seamless Horizon lies a vast ocean with only a narrow passage connecting them. On the other side is Spirit Sect territory, and this operation is aimed at Spirit Sect," Xuanyuan Changfeng explained, his face serious as he spoke, indicating how tricky this matter was.
"Spirit Sect? What happened to the Spirit Sect?" Ye Tian became even more curious upon hearing about the Spirit Sect, as his mother was a member of it.
"The Spirit Sect is suspected of launching a large-scale invasion of Martial Sovereign..." Xuanyuan Changfeng glanced at Qin Fufeng before speaking up.
"Don't look at me; I'm not a member of the Spirit Sect, but I'm also not a member of Martial Sovereign," Qin Fufeng replied with an indifferent expression.
Of course, everyone understood that Qin Fufeng was merely pretending to be unconcerned. How could he not be a member of the Spirit Sect? The supreme realm's Twelve Peaks had already been vividly displayed on him. What could prove his identity more than that?
"That can't be possible. As far as I know, the strength of the Spirit Sect cannot compare to that of Martial Sovereign. How could they possibly invade Martial Sovereign?" Ye Tian had paid considerable attention to matters regarding the Spirit Sect in the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, which led to his doubts.
"Well, I don't know about that. Anyway, I have a feeling that chaos may soon ensue in the world," Xuanyuan Changfeng said, taking a sip of his drink. He had consumed quite a bit today; otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things.
However, after saying that, he seemed to realize it was inappropriate. This was simply stirring trouble, so he quickly corrected himself: "I'm just speculating; it's all nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
Although Xuanyuan Changfeng said this, how could everyone not take it to heart? Such significant matters concerning the world were hardly something anyone could treat lightly.
Even though they were not great figures who took the world upon their shoulders, such news would likely unsettle anyone who heard it.
As the banquet continued, it eventually fell into silence, with everyone lost in their thoughts. In the end, under the heavy atmosphere, they were forced to disperse. After returning to Cloud Sea Sect, Ye Tian found it hard to sleep for a long time. He vaguely felt that this turmoil might not just be simple chaos but could potentially lead to a catastrophe.
