Ye Chen unexpectedly obtained a spot to enter the Qingyun Sect.

  When this news came out.

  Both Lu Jing and Lin Ke'er were shocked.

  Lu Jing was, of course, delighted.

  Although she was quite mature, she had no great ambitions and just wanted to live a peaceful life.

  But in the cultivation world, strength is everything.

  Without strength, one must rely on a Dao companion.

  She had already chosen Ye Chen.

  Now that Ye Chen had the opportunity to enter the Qingyun Sect, he had a great chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

  Even if he couldn't break through to Foundation Establishment, becoming a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining was very likely.

  He would definitely have the strength to protect her.

  So Lu Jing was very pleased.

  ...

  But Lin Ke'er was different.

  Looking at the Qingyun Token in Ye Chen's hand, Lin Ke'er was filled with regret.

  She originally thought that with Ye Chen's father's death, the resources Ye Chen could obtain would be greatly reduced, and he wouldn't even have a spot to enter the Qingyun Sect.

  That's why she hesitated at the time.

  But unexpectedly, Ye Chen actually got a spot to enter the Qingyun Sect.

  From now on, Ye Chen would be a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

  His future was limitless.

  He would have extensive connections.

  Not to mention, Ye Chen was so generous.

  Isn't this exactly the Dao companion she had been hoping for?

  So Lin Ke'er truly regretted it.

  When she heard the news of Ye Chen's father's death, she should have comforted Ye Chen like Lu Jing did.

  Although she made the wrong decision, it wasn't beyond remedy.

  That night, Lin Ke'er changed into a white gauze dress without hesitation in her room.

  Then she quietly pushed open the door and headed to Ye Chen's room.

  But as she reached Ye Chen's door, she heard noises from inside.

  "Ye Chen, you're so bad..."

  "Stop teasing..."

  Lin Ke'er's face instantly turned red.

  Lu Jing was already there.

  Lin Ke'er immediately felt like retreating.

  The scene was too stimuting; she really couldn't handle it.

  But thinking about Ye Chen's future, and how his attitude towards Lu Jing was obviously much warmer than towards her when he returned today, if she didn't seize the opportunity now, she might never have another chance.

  Lin Ke'er was always a decisive woman.

  After figuring it out, she raised her delicate hand and gently knocked on the door.

  "Daoist Ye, are you there?"

  The strange sounds in the room instantly quieted down.

  But because the room was quiet, Lin Ke'er could vaguely hear the sound of water.

  Strange...

  At this moment, Ye Chen's voice also sounded, with a hint of displeasure: "Is there something? If not, come back tomorrow."

  No one would be in a good mood when disturbed.

  Lin Ke'er spoke softly: "Daoist Ye, it's my first time at the Qingyun Sect, and I'm a bit scared..."

  When Lin Ke'er's voice fell, the room was obviously silent for a moment.

  But soon, Ye Chen's voice came out with a hint of ughter: "In that case, come in then..."

  The door opened, and through the thin veil of the bed, Lin Ke'er could vaguely see something.

  But Lin Ke'er seemed not to notice, her smooth long hair draped over her shoulders, as she entered the room.

  Then she closed the door.

  ...

  The next morning.

  Ye Chen stepped out of the room, feeling refreshed, and stretched zily.

  Lin Ke'er came over, but Ye Chen, of course, didn't do anything.

  After all, they were just lip Dao companions.

  How could anything happen?

  And as Lu Jing and Lin Ke'er came out together, their faces were somewhat awkward when they looked at each other.

  Ye Chen was too pyful.

  At the time, it was nothing, but thinking back now, it was a bit unbearable.

  The two women quickly said their goodbyes and went back to their rooms to freshen up.

  Ye Chen instructed the servants to prepare breakfast, pnning to cultivate after eating.

  By noon, he intended to stroll around the market to see if there were any suitable candidates.

  But just as the servant brought breakfast, and Ye Chen started eating, an uninvited guest arrived.

  It was Ye Chen's Second Uncle, Ye Tianhai.

  "Second Uncle is here..."

  Ye Chen gnced at him and continued eating.

  Lin Ke'er and Lu Jing stood up somewhat nervously.

  Gncing at the two women, Ye Tianhai knew they were the female cultivators Ye Chen had been fawning over at the Silver Moon Market.

  When he first heard about Ye Chen's actions from Steward Zhang, Ye Tianhai was overjoyed.

  Ye Chen was the biggest obstacle to his son's spot in the sect.

  He always saw Ye Chen as a formidable opponent.

  But he didn't expect Ye Chen to be a lick spirit.

  Giving all his resources to female cultivators.

  With his mind entirely on female cultivators, how could Ye Chen have any focus on cultivation or improving his alchemy skills?

  So he always thought the situation was settled, and Ye Chen was not worth mentioning.

  But unexpectedly, even though Ye Chen was a lick spirit, his cultivation hadn't fallen behind; instead, it had advanced rapidly.

  He directly broke through to the sixth yer of Qi Refining.

  And Ye Chen's alchemy skills had even surpassed his own.

  It was simply unbelievable.

  Things had taken an unexpected turn, but he was still unwilling to give up.

  So today, he came to find Ye Chen at the first opportunity, fearing Ye Chen had already gone to register at the Qingyun Sect.

  Seeing Ye Chen, who didn't even bother to stand up, made him feel a surge of anger.

  But remembering his purpose, he still put on a kind smile.

  "Ye Chen, my nephew, I had a deep bond with your father, and in my heart, I've always treated you like my own son."

  At the opening line, Ye Chen was stunned.

  How could this guy say something so shameless?

  It's one thing to target me yesterday.

  But before, when teaching alchemy, he didn't teach properly, and the content was full of errors.

  He even instructed Steward Zhang to set traps for me.

  And in such a situation, he says he treats me like his own son?

  Being your son would be quite unfortunate.

  Ye Chen was tired of pying mind games in this small family, pretending to be polite.

  He directly spoke: "Second Uncle has indeed been good to me, teaching me alchemy without caring about the state of the herbs, and the fire control methods were all over the pce..."

  "I really have to thank you!"

  Ye Tianhai didn't expect Ye Chen to speak so bluntly, and his face instantly darkened.

  But thinking about his son's entry into the Qingyun Sect, he forced a smile and said: "There's no such thing, it must be a misunderstanding, or maybe I was drunk that day and misspoke..."

  "Second Uncle, I came today to talk to you about the Qingyun Sect spot."

  "Nephew, with your outstanding alchemy talent, you can even refine top-grade pills, so there's no need to enter the sect as a disciple!"

  "Focus on learning alchemy, and once you break through to a second-grade alchemist, you can directly become a guest elder."

  "Isn't that status much higher than an ordinary disciple?"

  "And your younger brother, whether in cultivation or alchemy talent, is average. If he can't enter the Qingyun Sect, he'll be destined to be mediocre."

  "So I came to discuss with you about giving the spot to Ye Feng."

  "And I'll provide three top-grade spirit stones to support you in further improving your alchemy skills."

  "Isn't this a win-win situation?"

  Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but ugh.

  Everyone has a bright future, right?

  This guy is completely trying to fool me.

  Being a disciple means being part of the family and receiving training.

  There's even a chance to obtain the precious Foundation Establishment Pill.

  You can enjoy various benefits exclusive to disciples.

  And a guest elder?

  That's just working for money; in modern terms, it's called a job.

  What future can a job have?

  Having eaten enough, Ye Chen didn't want to waste any more time on Ye Tianhai.

  So he coldly said: "It does sound good."

  "Big Brother Ye Tian's cultivation speed is even faster, you should persuade him to give up the spot. Once he establishes a foundation, he can become a guest elder."

  "Such a good deal, Big Brother surely won't refuse."

  Ye Chen's response made Ye Tianhai's mouth twitch in anger.

  This kid, Ye Chen, is really hard to deal with.

  It seems really difficult to get the Qingyun Sect spot from him.

  But just as Ye Chen was about to leave, a gatekeeper quickly came to report: "Seventh Young Master, two cultivators ciming to be Sun Ye and Sun Ruoxin are here to visit, saying they are your friends. Should I let them in?"

  Ye Chen, who was about to step out, stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise on his face.

  These two actually knew he was back?

  After doing such a despicable thing, not only did they not avoid him, but they even came to see him?

  Interesting...

  Ye Chen smiled lightly and immediately said: "Let them in!"
