Ye Nanshan’s old face flushed crimson!
The feeling of being instantly humiliated left him deeply embarrassed.
“Ye Feng, Elder Liuli has arrived!” “Get up at once!” Ye Nanshan quickly regained his composure, abruptly changing the subject as he loudly rebuked Ye Feng.
At that moment, Ye Feng was still immersed in his astonishment.
He had just discovered an earth-shattering secret!
The Lying Flat System could actually recycle Spirit Stones.
Moreover, one Mid-grade Spirit Stone was worth a staggering 100 Salted Fish Points.
After recycling all ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones returned by Lin Xian’er, Ye Feng’s Salted Fish Points had soared to 1190.
“I’m one step closer to taking down Old Wu and embracing the path of lying flat!” With a sigh of satisfaction, Ye Feng finally opened his eyes.
He immediately met the gaze of Ye Nanshan, whose face was flushed red, and the crowd gathered behind him.
“This must be Elder Liuli,” Ye Feng thought, glancing at the dignified elder standing behind Ye Nanshan.
But what truly caught his attention was the graceful woman beside Elder Liuli, her expression complex.
If his guess was correct, this must be Yue Wu, the Saintess of the Moon Shadow Sect.
In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Ye Feng’s mind.
Then, to the crowd’s utter disbelief, Ye Feng casually rolled over, turned his back to them, and drawled.
“We’ll discuss this tomorrow!” “Don’t disturb my sleep!” In the original work, Elder Liuli valued his reputation above all else.
Such blatant disregard would likely make him turn and leave immediately.
Ye Feng’s words left everyone dumbfounded.
Elder Liuli, a prominent figure from the Moon Shadow Sect, had personally sought out a discarded disciple of the Ye Clan.
Yet he was being rejected?
And even given the order to leave?
The younger generation of geniuses, gathered at the back of the crowd, nearly wanted to strangle Ye Feng and take his place!
They had schemed and maneuvered relentlessly, hoping to have their clan patriarchs mention them to Elder Liuli.
But now that Elder Liuli had come to their door, Ye Feng was acting this way?
What a fool who doesn’t know when he’s in paradise!
“That brat is too arrogant!
Legend has it that Elder Liuli has already reached the Early-stage Martial King realm.
How dare he humiliate such a powerful figure?” “Courting death!
I guarantee that kid won’t live past today.
The Ye Clan might as well prepare to collect his corpse!” “Hmph!
He still thinks he’s the genius who once shook Wulian City!
If Elder Liuli doesn’t slap him to death with one hand, I’ll change my surname to his!” Many envious and resentful young geniuses began mocking him, hurling insults.
Ye Feng, however, remained utterly unfazed.
In the original work, Elder Liuli was a man of strict principles and unwavering adherence to tradition.
Even if he disliked someone intensely, he would never act against them unless they had committed a clear offense.
Ye Nanshan, standing nearby and listening to Ye Feng’s words, was on the verge of tears.
If he could do it all over again, he would rather endure Li Changfeng’s vengeance himself than allow Elder Liuli and Ye Feng to meet.
Offending a Direct Disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect might leave the Ye Clan a sliver of hope.
But offending an Elder of the Moon Shadow Sect would undoubtedly doom the Ye Clan to eternal damnation, leaving them with no hope whatsoever.
Ye Nanshan opened his mouth to explain on Ye Feng’s behalf, but no words came.
Just as the crowd expected Elder Liuli to erupt in fury and punish Ye Feng…
…they were unaware of the tumultuous storm raging within the Elder’s heart.
The dazzling golden aura of fortune radiating from Ye Feng nearly blinded his titanium alloy eyes!
Even the entire Moon Shadow Sect’s accumulated fortune paled in comparison to less than a thousandth of the aura radiating from Ye Feng.
Consider this: the Moon Shadow Sect’s fortune represented the combined destiny of tens of thousands of Martial Artists.
Under the blinding golden aura emanating from Ye Feng, Elder Liuli, who had activated his Aura Observation Technique, felt a piercing pain in his eyes and inexplicably shed two streams of clear tears.
Only after dispelling the Aura Observation Technique did the pain in Elder Liuli’s eyes finally subside.
Yet the surrounding crowd was stunned!
Everyone had been expecting you to punish Ye Feng.
Why are you crying instead?
Could it be that Ye Feng made you cry out of anger?
The thought of an Early-stage Martial King powerhouse being reduced to tears by a Late-stage Martial Artist junior left everyone with strange expressions.
Unbeknownst to them, Elder Liuli had already made up his mind.
No matter the cost, he was determined to recruit Ye Feng into the Moon Shadow Sect.
With Ye Feng’s addition, and the sect’s already formidable destiny aura, they would surely rise to unprecedented glory.
Even becoming the foremost sect in the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty was no longer a mere dream!
As for Ye Feng’s impudence?
Elder Liuli had long since dismissed it.
Such a peerless prodigy blessed with heaven-defying destiny was bound to have some eccentricities.
If securing Ye Feng for the Moon Shadow Sect meant Elder Liuli had to kneel and kowtow to him, he would do it without hesitation.
Noticing the crowd’s bewildered expressions and the lingering tears at the corners of his eyes, Elder Liuli’s eyes darted around, and an idea struck him.
“He looks just like him!” “Absolutely identical!” Elder Liuli exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Ye Feng, who stood with his back to him.
“This Ye Feng…
he’s the spitting image of my deceased grandson!” Hearing Elder Liuli’s words, the crowd finally understood.
No wonder Elder Liuli had reacted so strongly.
Ye Feng’s appearance had reminded him of his grandson.
At the same time, the crowd’s gaze toward Ye Feng now carried a hint of envy.
Who could have imagined Ye Feng’s luck would be so extraordinary?
Not only would he escape death this time, but he might even receive a great blessing.
The young men who had mocked Ye Feng earlier quietly retreated, fearing he would seek retribution later.
Only Yue Wu, standing nearby, looked at Elder Liuli with suspicion.
As the Saintess, she was intimately familiar with the sect’s elders.
To her knowledge, Elder Liuli had never had any children, let alone grandchildren.
Moreover, Elder Liuli, completely immersed in martial arts, had once famously declared: “Women only hinder my sword’s speed.” Where, then, had this grandson come from?
Elder Liuli, seemingly oblivious to the crowd’s reaction, forced a smile onto his aged face, stepped forward, and addressed Ye Feng’s back.
“Ye Feng, would you be willing to accept me as your master and become a Direct Disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect?” As the crowd heard Elder Liuli’s words, their eyes turned green with envy as they stared at Ye Feng.
Many young, talented disciples gnashed their teeth, their hearts burning with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Ye Nanshan also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly marveling at Ye Feng’s innate gift.
Only Ye Feng, his back to the crowd, was rendered speechless.
In the original novel, the reason Elder Liuli took the Son of Destiny Ye Feng as his direct disciple was merely brushed over.
Even Ye Feng himself remained unaware of the true reason.
Yet, seeing Elder Liuli’s determined expression, he knew he couldn’t brush this off with a vague refusal.
The elder wouldn’t let it go.
With a sigh of resignation, Ye Feng rose to his feet and slowly asked, “What are the benefits of becoming a Direct Disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect?” Seeing Ye Feng’s reluctance, the crowd was speechless.
The Sect Leader and the ten Great Elders of the Moon Shadow Sect could each only take one Direct Disciple.
In other words, the sect had a mere eleven Direct Disciples, each serving as a pillar of the sect.
And you, a useless Late-stage Martial Artist, are acting like the Moon Shadow Sect is begging you!
To everyone’s astonishment, Elder Liuli showed no anger whatsoever.
Instead, he gave Ye Feng a thumbs-up.
“Excellent, excellent!” “Neither arrogant nor rash, acting only after careful deliberation!” “In terms of intellect, among the younger generation, none can match you!”
