“Rise.”
“Thank you, Saint.”
After Ye Lin spoke, the Elders and Disciples below all rose.
“Alright, go about your business. Oh, and the Sect Master’s inauguration ceremony will be held tomorrow.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he and Chu Xue flew towards Du Peak.
After the two left, the nine Grand Elders gathered together.
“How are the preparations for tomorrow’s Sect Master inauguration ceremony?”
“Of course, they’re ready. I guarantee it will be the grandest Sect Master inauguration ceremony in Qingyun Sect’s history.”
“Hahaha, good. With the Saint leading us, our Qingyun Sect is guaranteed to prosper continuously.”
The nine Grand Elders beamed with joy, laughing heartily.
…
Meanwhile, on Du Peak, Ye Lin and Chu Xue stood side by side on the giant rock, overlooking the entire Qingyun Sect.
“Master, tomorrow’s Sect Master inauguration ceremony, let it be you. I nominate you to be the Qingyun Sect Master.”
After a long moment, Ye Lin slowly spoke.
“No need. I’m not interested in the position of Sect Master. I’ve been in Qingyun Sect since childhood, guarding it all day, which is truly boring.”
“Now that the overall situation is settled, I plan to travel around. With Senior Brother overseeing Qingyun Sect, it will be safe.”
After Chu Xue finished speaking, Ye Lin nodded silently.
He fully supported all of Chu Xue’s choices.
Now, the overall situation within a thousand miles was settled, and Qingyun Sect’s position as overlord was as stable as it could be.
“Master, since you won’t take it, the only candidates for Sect Master are Senior Sister Li Miaoling and Senior Brother Shi Jian. Which one do you recommend to become Sect Master?”
Ye Lin turned his head, looking at Chu Xue with curiosity.
He was very curious about Chu Xue’s choice.
“You are now the Qingyun Sect Saint. These matters are unrelated to me. You decide for yourself. I’m a bit tired, so I’ll go rest first.”
After Chu Xue spoke, she walked alone towards her dwelling.
Watching Chu Xue’s retreating figure, Ye Lin fell into thought.
Meanwhile, under a peach blossom tree, Li Miaoling stood alone with her hands behind her back, admiring the peach blossoms.
“Senior Sister, I’ve seen you standing here for half an hour. Do you have something on your mind?”
At this moment, Ye Lin walked out from the side, looking at Li Miaoling with a smile.
“Greetings, Saint.”
The moment she saw Ye Lin, Li Miaoling immediately bowed in salute.
“No need, Senior Sister. There’s no need for formalities between us.”
Ye Lin hastily waved his hand.
“Saint, aren’t you busy preparing for tomorrow’s Sect Master inauguration ceremony? Why do you have time to come find me?”
Li Miaoling asked with curiosity.
She now admired this Junior Brother from the bottom of her heart. If she had been unconvinced before, she was now truly impressed.
A Golden Core Stage cultivator at twenty years old was unprecedented.
“Senior Sister, I came here because I have a favor to ask of you.”
“What is it?”
Li Miaoling looked puzzled. Ye Lin was the Saint and would soon become the Sect Master tomorrow. What trouble could he have that required her help?
“Senior Sister, I want you to be the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect.”
“What?”
After Ye Lin spoke, Li Miaoling’s face was filled with shock. Let her be the Sect Master? Is he joking?
The position of Sect Master was above ten thousand people, incredibly noble.
Everyone dreamed of it, and now Ye Lin wanted to give it to her?
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand what Ye Lin stood to gain by letting her be the Sect Master.
“Senior Sister, don’t rush to refuse. I’m not interested in the position of Qingyun Sect Master.”
As Ye Lin slowly explained, Li Miaoling finally understood.
“How about it?”
Looking at the enlightened Li Miaoling, Ye Lin asked in return.
Compared to Shi Jian, he favored Li Miaoling more, as Li Miaoling was more steady in her actions.
Moreover, in the first stage of the Saint assessment, she was also superior to Shi Jian. In terms of combat power, Shi Jian was naturally no match for Li Miaoling.
As for Heart-Nature, there was even less to say.
Although he hadn’t interacted with Li Miaoling that much, he was very confident in her character.
She completely surpassed Shi Jian in every aspect.
“Saint, of course I want the position of Qingyun Sect Master, but the Elders…”
After understanding everything, Li Miaoling was clearly tempted.
The position of Qingyun Sect Master was a position she had always dreamed of.
The Qingyun Sect Master had always been male, and Li Miaoling believed she was not inferior to anyone in her life.
The reason she worked so hard was to prove to everyone that even a woman could hold up half the sky.
“As long as Senior Sister is willing, I’ll handle everything.”
“It’s getting late, Senior Sister, get some rest early.”
Watching the distant sun gradually set, Ye Lin finally spoke.
“Junior Brother.”
Looking at Ye Lin’s retreating figure, Li Miaoling couldn’t help but speak.
“What is it?”
Hearing this, Ye Lin slowly turned around.
“May you prosper continuously.”
“Thank you.”
Hearing this, Ye Lin smiled slightly, then walked towards Du Peak.
Watching Ye Lin disappear, Li Miaoling sighed softly.
The Junior Brother who had competed with her for the Saint position that day had now become someone she needed to look up to.
And in the future, she probably wouldn’t even be able to see Ye Lin’s back.
Life is unpredictable…
…
Meanwhile, Ye Lin looked at Little Red in front of him, full of shock.
After not seeing it for some time, Little Red had already Broken Through to Core Formation Stage Late Stage.
This once again refreshed his understanding and once again showed him Little Red’s terrifying power.
“Little Red, let’s discuss something. Can you give me another one of your feathers?”
Ye Lin took out the true feather Little Red had given him that day, smiling.
When Little Red saw Ye Lin’s cunning smile, it immediately retreated a few steps, its bird face full of vigilance.
“Just one, just one.”
Ye Lin smiled broadly.
He was very envious of Little Red’s feathers. Transmitting information regardless of distance—what a monstrous treasure!
Seeing Ye Lin like this, a human-like helplessness flashed in Little Red’s eyes. Then it shook its body, and a fiery red feather floated down from its tail, slowly drifting into Ye Lin’s hand.
“Thank you, Little Red is the best.”
“Oh, right, Little Red, enter the Beast Taming Bag first. After tomorrow, I’m going to take you to a new place.”
At this moment, Ye Lin took out the Beast Taming Bag and slowly opened it. Little Red didn’t hesitate at all and directly entered the Beast Taming Bag.
Ye Lin was its Master, and it trusted Ye Lin unconditionally. Even if Ye Lin told it to die, it would do so without hesitation.
This was the loyalty of a Divine Beast.
Divine Beasts were proud and would not easily recognize a Master. Once they did, it was for life.
If the Master died, the Divine Beast would never live on.
Seeing Little Red enter the Beast Taming Bag, Ye Lin put the Beast Taming Bag into his space ring.
In the blink of an eye, a night passed.
The next day, the entire Qingyun Sect was bustling. Even the Utility Disciples had no work.
All Qingyun Sect Disciples were celebrating, after all, this was a major event.
“Master, take this feather. In the future, it will be for contacting me.”
On Du Peak, Ye Lin took out the feather he had gotten from Little Red and handed it to Chu Xue.
Chu Xue gladly accepted it.
“This is one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, the annual output of that Spirit Stone mine. When you go to a giant Sect like Nameless Mountain, how can you go without some resources yourself?”
Chu Xue took out a cloth bag and handed it to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin put away the cloth bag and looked at the clouds in the distance. Within the clouds, Sha Wudao looked at him with a smile.
Behind Sha Wudao stood a man and a woman, presumably the new Prodigies Sha Wudao had taken in.
