Upon hearing that clear and cheerful voice, Lu Li's body stiffened slightly.
It sounds somewhat familiar, but I'm not entirely sure.
Before he could turn around, he saw the disciple on duty in front of him quickly step out from behind the counter, his face full of respect.
Together with the other outer disciples dressed in white robes, they all clasped their hands and bowed, their tone reserved.
"I've met you in True Person!"
"Greetings, Your True Person!"
"..."
The howling echoed throughout the General Affairs Hall.
Lu Li slowly turned around, and a familiar handsome face appeared before him.
" Junior Brother Lu, it's been a long time!"
Ye Chenfeng greeted Lu Li warmly.
He wore a flowing, elegant blue robe, and his posture was as upright as a sword.
Her hair was black, adorned with a jade crown, and her starry eyes held a smile.
A slight upturn at the corners of her lips exuded a carefree yet gentle charm.
Standing casually, he exuded the refined and elegant aura unique to Foundation Establishment True Person, making him stand out from the surrounding disciples like heaven and earth.
" Senior Brother Ye..."
"It's you..."
Lu Li was stunned. In the years since returning to the sect, Ye Chenfeng had unusually stopped bothering him frequently.
Unexpectedly, the other party had already successfully Foundation Establishment and entered the inner sect at some point.
" Junior Brother Lu, don't panic, it's just renting cave abode, isn't it?"
"Go ahead and rent it! I'll see who breaks the rules today, even reserving cave abode —what a big shot!"
"What's that person's name? Is it Bai Kun? Who is Bai Kun?"
Ye Chenfeng suppressed his excitement and maintained a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
My heart was filled with joy.
Five years, five years!
" Elder Jian, I've finally seized this opportunity to demonstrate my abilities in front of Junior Brother Lu and help him out of his predicament."
"Today I'm determined to completely change Junior Brother Lu's opinion of me!"
"That's right, kid!"
"It's quite a coincidence that you're leaving the pass today. Seize the opportunity and get to know this young man Lu better so that you can become close friends sooner, and we can leave as soon as possible."
Elder Jian's voice rang out, tinged with joy.
He seemed even happier to see Lu Li than Ye Chenfeng.
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng's last words, Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.
Something's definitely not right about this scene!
There's always this feeling that at any moment, someone will step forward, scoffing, "I am Bai Kun! What? You're protecting this guy?"
And... why is it someone with the surname Bai again?
Could it be another Bai Household from Upper White Peak?
What kind of karmic enmity theory is this?! Is Upper White Peak really going to fight him to the death?
Coming to his senses, Lu Li suppressed the twitching at the corner of his mouth and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.
" Senior Brother Ye, forget it."
"I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of in the cave, so I'll postpone renting this cave abode."
"See you another day, farewell."
Lu Li cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, unwilling to stay any longer.
I just want to be alone.
He witnessed the power of "pig's feet" firsthand during his last trip.
It should be that he forced a Qi Rogue Cultivator Qi Refinement to use Secret Method to Foundation Establishment on the spot.
He didn't want to cause trouble or draw attention within the sect now that he'd come again.
Seeing Lu Li turn to leave, Ye Chenfeng quickly chased after him and grabbed his sleeve.
His tone was slightly hurried.
"Junior brother, don't be anxious. Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid, your senior brother is here! Today I'm going to make sure you rent this cave abode. You, the disciple on duty, come here and tell me who Bai Kun is?"
Ye Chenfeng stood casually in the center of the General Affairs Hall.
A faint aura of Foundation Establishment emanated from him, and his profound and powerful aura caused all the outer disciples present to turn pale.
Upon hearing this, the disciple on duty felt his legs go weak.
Before he could speak, he noticed that another person had appeared outside the hall...
Bai Kun was a little stunned; he had just arrived.
Before he even entered the General Affairs Hall, he heard someone calling his name.
As he stepped inside, he saw a Foundation Establishment in a green robe calling out his name and saying nonsensical things, such as "Get revenge, junior brother, don't worry," and so on...
To be honest, he was a little confused at that moment.
I don't even know that Foundation Establishment, and besides...
He hasn't caused any trouble lately and just wants to make a breakthrough.
Aside from renting the cave abode for the past few days, nothing else has happened...
What's going on?
"Who is this...?"
Before Bai Kun could figure it out, he saw the disciple on duty tremblingly raise his hand and point at him.
Then, the Foundation Establishment in the green robe turned around with a cold and arrogant expression, his eyes shining.
"You're Bai Kun?!"
"What arrogance! A mere outer disciple hasn't even arrived, yet he's already occupied the cave abode."
"What, do you think this Azure Pool is yours?"
Hearing Ye Chenfeng's obvious reprimand.
Bai Kun's face turned pale, then flushed red.
His body trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress himself.
He took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Chenfeng.
" True Person, Master. I've been coming here every day lately. Is it wrong to inform my fellow disciples that I'm staying here in my cave abode?"
"Furthermore... although Azure Pool is not from my family, my ancestor was one of the five Golden Core of Azure Pool."
"Isn't it inappropriate to insult True Person like this?"
Bai Kun spoke through gritted teeth, clearly suppressing his temper.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Chenfeng was at least a Foundation Establishment, he would never have been so obsequious.
As a direct descendant of the Bai Household, he treated the outer disciples as nothing, while ordinary inner disciples would at least address him as "Nephew Bai."
Ye Chenfeng immediately humiliated him, and he naturally didn't want to swallow his pride.
He spoke again, his tone defiant.
"May I ask which peak and clan you are a disciple of True Person?"
"If I, Bai Kun, have done anything wrong today, I will have my Foundation Establishment uncle from my Lineage take me to apologize to the True Person."
"Hmm? What's wrong? You seem to have some complaints?"
"So what if Upper White Peak! I True Person, Ye Chenfeng, am an instructor at the Supreme Azure Peak Battle Hall."
"If you disagree, call your uncle to discuss this with me."
Ye Chenfeng's tone remained unchanged, as if he truly didn't take Upper White Peak seriously.
It seems that even the likes of the Golden Core Elixir are nothing special.
Upon hearing this, Bai Kun's face darkened even further.
Putting aside the fact that Supreme Azure Peak is the most skilled fighter among the inner sect members, he couldn't possibly go and recruit people to help him settle things.
Although the Lineage who had reached the Foundation Establishment cherished him greatly, they could not allow him to be at their beck and call.
I froze, unsure of what to say.
The outer disciples were all terrified, never expecting this Foundation Establishment inner disciple to be so formidable.
Upper White Peak Golden Core True Lord, looked at Lu Li with even more subtle expressions.
It seemed to be speculating about the relationship between the two, but it was unclear what kind of relationship could make an inner sect Foundation Establishment so protective of him...
As for Lu Li... he was even more confused at this moment.
Lu Li: "..."
His expression visibly turned strange.
What's going on here?
What... what kind of script is this?
Making enemies?
And then what? The Golden Core cultivator made his move, the protagonist unleashed his full power, and the entire sect was thrown into chaos.
He's been beaten so badly he now has to go out and become Rogue Cultivator...
"No, I didn't say anything!"
Lu Li, realizing what was happening, watched as things spiraled out of control.
He quickly went up and grabbed Ye Chenfeng.
"Senior brother, what are you doing? It's just a cave abode."
"Alright then, senior brother, you should return now. Come to my cave abode tonight, and we'll have a good drink together. It's been so long since we last met; let's have a good chat!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng visibly became pleased.
His eyes lit up, and he asked, "Junior Brother, are you serious?!"
"Really!"
