Martial Uncle Ling, also known as Ling Peiyue, the Holy Master of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven.
He was the junior brother of Li Fufeng's master. This time, he came as a holy master accompanying the group, staying by Li Fufeng's side to protect them and prevent any unforeseen events from happening.
Although this is Holy Heaven City, where nothing is likely to happen, accidents can still occur.
He never expected that the fire from this matter would spread to him.
Li Fufeng's idea is very good.
Whatever the reason for the conflict between Duan Chengshou and Lin Xuan, it doesn't matter. With her here, there's no way Duan Chengshou would bypass her to harm the person she values.
If Lin Xuan can be successfully recruited into the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven, all other matters, big and small, can be easily resolved.
Alas...
A bitter smile appeared on Ling Peiyue's face.
It's true that he greatly admires his junior apprentice Li Fufeng. Moreover, during their trip to the Vast Sea Secret Realm, Li Fufeng brought out an extremely rare spiritual herb that he needed for alchemy, enabling him to successfully refine the Scarlet Fire Heart-Clearing Pill and save his dao companion's life. He thus owed Li Fufeng a favor.
Each issue can be considered separately.
He had no intention of taking on any apprentices.
He had no intention of taking on apprentices, let alone training students.
He only occasionally taught a few classes in the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven, and had no disciples in name only.
Moreover, even if he were willing, Cang Xuan Holy Heaven doesn't accept just anyone. Even Li Fufeng was only taken away because he had qualified.
The person in front of him didn't seem to have much of an aura, making it difficult for him to assess the other person's aptitude, but he figured it probably wasn't very good.
Generally speaking, it's already a rare thing for a low-level realm to produce even one prodigy.
The Profound Domain has already produced Li Fufeng; where else could it find a second one?
Ling Peiyue smiled wryly, but didn't directly offend Li Fufeng. He hesitated and said, "This is a matter of great importance... I have no authority to make a decision. Fufeng, if your old friend doesn't mind, other first-class sects in my Cang Xuan Realm Domain, such as the Qianyue Heng Sect, are also good options..."
Although the words were phrased tactfully, the unspoken meaning was rejection.
The woman who had initially clashed with Lin Xuan and insisted on getting the bronze mirror from him now curled her lip and said, "Not just anyone can enter our Cang Xuan Holy Heaven. Senior Sister Li, even if he's your friend, he can't be admitted through special consideration. Otherwise, it would be too unfair!"
"Only the most outstanding talents are allowed to enter the Holy Heaven. This is the rule, and rules cannot be broken, regardless of who it is!"
Lin Xuan hadn't expected Li Fufeng to do this.
Judging from the mocking glances between her and Ling Peiyue, he could guess that she probably wanted to offer some price in exchange for him entering the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven. However, Ling Peiyue did not agree.
Seeing the impatience creeping up Li Fufeng's brow, Lin Xuan felt a warm current flow through his heart.
Li Fufeng meant well.
But he really doesn't need it.
He smiled dismissively, and with a faint smile, he advised, " Fufeng, there's no need for that. I've been in the Eastern Continent for quite some time now, and I have my own place to go."
Upon hearing this, Li Fufeng immediately became anxious.
She pursed her lips, a hint of anxiety creeping into her voice, and quickly spoke.
" Lin Xuan, wait a little longer! I've already sent a message to my master. He'll be here soon."
"Don't worry, even if I have to beg, I will ask my master for help. Even if he can't accept you as a formal student of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven, he can still get you into the outer academy!"
In her opinion, Lin Xuan was just being stubborn and concerned about saving face.
However, she couldn't just sit idly by and let things develop as they were.
The dangers in Eastern Province are immense. Lin Xuan must have endured a great deal of hardship to get here. She had to help her old friend in distress, no matter what.
Even if Lin Xuan says it's unnecessary... that's only temporary. It's better than letting Lin Xuan suffer alone, right?
The other students of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven all looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression.
Many people were quite surprised by Li Fufeng's attitude today.
Although Li Fufeng has a gentle personality, it is precisely because of this that she treats everyone equally and never gives anyone any special treatment because of their status.
Even when helping others, she always tries her best to do what she is supposed to do.
I have never asked for help because of someone else's problem.
Not to mention that now, he actually has to ask his master for help because of the man in front of him?
this...
The man before me seems to have a special relationship with Li Fufeng!
Lin Xuan, faced with Li Fufeng's True Intention, could only manage a bitter smile.
He spoke helplessly, "I appreciate your kindness, but Fufeng, I truly cannot go to Cang Xuan Holy Heaven. I am currently..."
Before he could finish speaking, some of the people around him already couldn't stand it anymore.
The stall owner who sold him the bronze mirror, in particular, was green with envy, but instead of doing anything malicious, he stamped his foot in exasperation and hurriedly interrupted Lin Xuan: "Hey! You, at a time like this, what do you care about saving face?"
"That's the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven! What an incredible fortuitous opportunity! So what if it's just the outer court? Young man, don't be so arrogant. The outer court of the Holy Heaven is extraordinary, much easier to get by than a Rogue Cultivator like you!"
The other students of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven were also somewhat speechless.
While it might be difficult for Lin Xuan to become a student of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven, it wouldn't be too hard for Li Fufeng to ask his master to grant him the status of an outer disciple.
But this person was still concerned about saving face.
More terrifying than losing face is losing your life. Is this person really a fool?
Either they're stupid, or...
Greed knows no bounds; a snake tries to swallow an elephant!
How could Junior Sister Li have such an old friend?
Ling Peiyue's gaze also turned colder, clearly indicating that he had also considered this possibility.
However, he did not say it directly, but instead said, " Fufeng is right. Since you are an old friend of Fufeng's, although I cannot accept you into Cang Xuan Holy Heaven, I can still let you into the outer courtyard."
"I can make that decision."
Lin Xuan was somewhat speechless at being dragged into this situation.
Let them finish speaking!
Why would the head of the Primordial Holy Heaven become a student in the outer court of another Holy Heaven?
Just as he was about to speak, interrupt those around him, and resolve the matter swiftly, the expressions of those around him suddenly changed to one of surprise.
A terrifying aura swept across, its overwhelming and unparalleled power barely leaking out a trace, yet it still caused many to feel apprehensive and turn to look in the direction of the newcomer.
This antique street is mostly frequented by students with low cultivation levels.
And this person who suddenly arrived...
He is at the Peak Half-Saint!
Crush!
Absolute crushing victory!
Absolutely dominant!
Many people were terrified, staring at the woman descending from the sky, their hearts filled with inexplicable fear.
So strong...
Why would such a powerful senior come here?
Could it be the master of that prodigy from the Cang Xuan Holy Heaven...?
Some people thought this and subconsciously looked at Li Fufeng's expression, only to see a blank look on her face.
All the students of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven stared at the woman in surprise and bewilderment. Clearly, they did not recognize her at all; she was not from Cang Xuan Holy Heaven.
Then why would such a powerful predecessor...?
No one dared to speak at that moment.
Everyone fell silent, their eyes flashing with a variety of emotions.
This is Half-Saint level expert! Forget about discussing it, some of them didn't even dare to raise their heads!
Even among the many Holy Heaven, the existence of Half-Saint is not of low status.
Ordinary Saint Masters don't have this strength; even the Holy Master Ling of Cang Xuan Holy Heaven is only Ancient Emperor.
However, under everyone's gaze, the woman's eyes swept over everyone, finally landing on Lin Xuan. She immediately put on a helpless expression and went to Lin Xuan's side to speak.
" Academy Master Lin, what are you doing here? Dean Bai has been looking for you for a long time, and you didn't reply even when I tried to communicate with you telepathically. I've been looking for you for ages, and I've finally found you."
