Chapter 476: Chapter 135: Did Fairy Ye Get Preempted by an Outer Sect Disciple?

"Haha, who would have thought Niece Ye would take such a fancy to an Outer Sect Disciple."

Wei Shouyuan suddenly burst into laughter, but there was an uncontrollable bitterness in his narrow triangular eyes.

Shi Shuhong likewise looked at Jian Yue with disbelief:

"Peak Master Ye, how do you plan to get closer to my disciple?"

Just like Zheng Shengmo, both were coveting Ye Xiyue’s beautiful body and her Top-grade Spirit Root.

For years, the three have been openly and secretly competing, all wanting to take the lead, to be the first to get Ye Xiyue’s first time and monopolize her Innate Spiritual Qi.

Now, Zheng Shengmo is finally dead, removing their biggest competitor, and the two were secretly rejoicing. Who would have thought Ye Xiyue suddenly took fancy to an obscure Outer Sect Disciple!

Even if He Zhiqiu would soon become famous everywhere, in the eyes of the high-ranking elders of the Zhenyang Sect, he is still a minor character.

But now this minor character suddenly became their "love rival".

Shi Shuhong’s feelings were the most complicated; He Zhiqiu is his disciple from Divinity Transformation Peak and now seems ready to taste the fairy of the age before him.

Damn it!

Why is that?!

Jian Yue naturally knew what the two were thinking, and on that cold face appeared a hint of urgency at just the right moment:

"Junior Brother He has extraordinary talent, and discussing cultivation with him always gives me insights. Junior Martial Uncle Shi, are you afraid I will steal your disciple?"

Shi Shuhong’s face looked a bit ugly, then he laughed heartily: "Peak Master Ye is joking. If Zhiqiu can benefit from your guidance, it’s his fortune from many lifetimes. I certainly won’t stop you, you can see him anytime you want."

A "joyful" expression appeared on Jian Yue’s face, and he rarely smiled, saying: "Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle Shi, for making it happen."

These words left the already surprised Commanding Disciples completely stunned.

Thank Junior Martial Uncle Shi for making it happen?

What are you making happen?

Are you making the profound discussions of cultivation with Junior Brother He happen, or are you making your shared ’cultivation’ with Senior Brother He happen?

Senior Sister, your words are too... ambiguous!

Ye Xiyue is a fairy of the age, cold and aloof, admirers stretch from Zhenyang Sect to the Northern Wilderness!

Yet all these years, she has never truly looked at anyone in the eyes.

Let alone express closeness to any man in public.

Many Commanding Disciples couldn’t help but secretly glance at Ye Xiyue, only to see a faint smile on the face of the usually icy cold senior sister, which made them almost crumble.

Could it be that such a heavenly-like senior sister will actually be conquered by an Outer Sect Disciple?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

I don’t accept it ahhh!

Wei Wan looked at their fellow sect members grinding their teeth and sighed softly in her heart.

If these people knew the senior sister was already Junior Brother He’s concubine, they probably would go mad, wouldn’t they?

Tantai Mingyue gave Jian Yue a profound look, cleared his throat, and his voice suppressed the almost raging thoughts of the Commanding Disciples.

Then, Tantai Mingyue announced the rewards for several disciples who performed outstandingly in resisting the beast tide.

"Zhang Ling from Heaven-Reaching Peak’s Outer Sect, Zhao Zhen from Forgetful Peak’s Outer Sect... He Su, Lan Yin from Xiyue Peak’s Outer Sect, Ruo Mei from Danxia Peak’s Outer Sect will be promoted to Inner Sect Disciples!"

Cheers erupted in front of the mountain gate, these individuals were exceedingly brave during the beast tide chaos, killing countless Demonic Beasts, so their promotion to Inner Sect disciples was naturally unquestioned.

Tantai Mingyue paused, and his voice rose a few notches:

"He Zhiqiu from Divinity Transformation Peak’s Outer Sect, exceptionally talented, strong in resolve, repelled the Red Flame Fox, resolving the crisis at Zhenlian City, promoted specially to Steward Disciple!"

Wow!!

Exclamations erupted, deafening, with countless shocked, envious, jealous, and disdainful gazes directed at He Zhiqiu.

Outer Sect disciples were mostly envious, Inner Sect disciples were jealous.

Steward disciples and even many of the Commanding Disciples showed disdain.

In their view, just a mere few-month-old Outer Sect disciple, how can he rise so rapidly?

Zhenyang Sect has always had a strict hierarchy, for Outer Sect disciples to endure into the Inner Sect, aside from cultivation, they must grind through seniority.

Unless one is as talented as Ye Xiyue, Wei Wan, Si Minglan, otherwise you won’t stand a chance entering the Inner Sect in ten or eight years.

Let alone leap two levels, directly jump from Outer Sect to become Steward Disciple!

"Back then, Senior Sister Ye, with her peerless talent, also trained in the Outer Sect for a year before entering the Inner Sect, and became a steward disciple the second year, what makes He Zhiqiu deserve it?"

Some started whispering, and some countered:

"Junior Brother He is already Golden Core Realm and repelled a seventh-grade demonic beast, which Steward Disciple has such achievements?"

"Doesn’t that break the rules?"

"What rules? Does the sect have such a regulation?"

"Rules are in the heart, everyone knows them!"

"What’s wrong with status enhancing based on cultivation and achievements?"

Many Zhenyang Sect disciples at the mountain gate started debating about He Zhiqiu.

Qin Gengyun stood quietly, like a leaf boat floating in raging waves.

He originally felt a little uncomfortable being the focus, but hearing those questioning, disdainful voices around him, he found it quite interesting.

Once cautious and seeking survival, now having entered Golden Core, with people he must protect, he naturally can’t be as timid as before.

In the future, diligence in cultivation must increase, reaching higher realms, as his wife desires.

Amidst the tumult, Tantai Mingyue announced the end, and each peak’s disciples returned to rest.

The crowd quickly dispersed, Qin Gengyun was surrounded by fellow disciples from Divinity Transformation Peak, heading back.

Liu Su, Qiu Zhihe, and Mo Xiaolan stood together, Liu Su had some concerns, softly said:

"Miss, did you push the lord too fast?"

Qiu Zhihe’s expression was calm: "My husband, how could he fear idle gossip?"

Liu Su stuck out her tongue, wondering Saintess is naturally fearless, but the lord is different, before meeting you, he was only at the Second-Layer Qi Cultivation!

She genuinely worried about Qin Gengyun’s Tao Heart being affected.

Mo Xiaolan showed concern: "Thus he becomes the target of public criticism, Peak Master Tantai is usually steady, why so impatient this time?"

Qiu Zhihe said: "Zheng Shengmo’s scandal has severely impacted Zhenyang Sect, they need to divert the Inner Sect disciples’ attention."

"Ah?" Liu Su exclaimed angrily: "Saying like that, they used the lord as a scapegoat? Too outrageous!"

Qiu Zhihe indifferently said: "The resources of Steward Disciple surpass ordinary disciples, my husband just needs to focus on cultivation."

Liu Su blinked, whispering: "But being watched constantly, what happens if Miss wants him? Ouch! Miss, I was wrong, I’ll never dare again!"

Danxia Peak, Peak Master Hall.

The five peak masters appeared solemn, Wei Shouyuan asked Jian Yue:

"Peak Master Ye, you were with Zheng Shengmo in Zhenlian City, do you know how Zheng Shengmo died?"

Earlier, they couldn’t mention Zheng Shengmo, who disgraced the sect, in front of many disciples.

Now, Tantai Mingyue gathered them because there were many ambiguities surrounding Zheng Shengmo’s death, raising their suspicions.

For a moment, four people looked at Jian Yue, their eyes scrutinizing.
