Looking at the unfriendly expressions of the Divine Sword Sect’s prodigies around him, Ye Xiaofan felt a bit helpless.

At this moment, thirteen flying boats were suspended above the temporary base of the Divine Sword Sect, with almost every boat holding two of the most extraordinary prodigies among prodigies.

However, at this moment, everyone was staring fixedly at that figure, with terrifying auras locking onto him without any concealment, creating a somewhat delicate atmosphere.

Feeling more than ten extremely unfriendly glances, Ye Xiaofan could only manage a smile. These were senior brothers and sisters in the True Self and Self-Slaying Realms, and although they were the most terrifying potentials among the prodigies, Ye Xiaofan alone was not among the most powerful of them.

Any of the ceiling figures among these prodigies could easily crush him now.

Seeing that figure standing side by side with Luo Qingxian, many of her admirers almost had flames in their eyes, but with nearly two million Divine Sword Sect disciples watching below, they dared not overreact.

After all, compared to the earlier batch of admirers who charged up Spirit Peak Four, these were the ceiling figures among the prodigies and had to maintain some semblance of decorum.

Yet, someone still couldn’t help but slowly lift their eyes, their calm voice faintly rising: "Junior Sister Luo, if I recall correctly, when it was decided in Divine Sword Sect that you would enter the ’Valley of Space-Time’ together, wasn’t it supposed to be Junior Brother Ke? Are you intending to abandon Junior Brother Ke and take Junior Brother Ye instead?"

It was evident that the person spoke with a hint of emotion, as if if it were a cultivator with the last name Ke standing beside Luo Qingxian, they could bear it somewhat, but with Ye Xiaofan, they felt discontent.

However, Luo Qingxian merely smiled sweetly at these words without replying, seemingly not having a very good impression of the speaker. Instead, it was Luo Qingchen who spoke first.

"Senior Brother Mo Feng, my sister is the one recognized by the ’Space-Time Main Ring’ and the ’Space-Time Main Stele’ this time. If I’m not mistaken, according to the rules of the Divine Sword Sect, she should have the final say on who to take with her into the ’Valley of Space-Time,’ right?"

With a smile on her face, Luo Qingchen showed no signs of easing her tone.

It was obvious, even Ye Xiaofan could see it, that Senior Brother Mo Feng seemed to have some history with the siblings, and it was clear that he also admired Luo Qingchen, although their relationship seemed strained.

Before Luo Qingchen addressed him, Ye Xiaofan found the name Senior Brother Mo Feng unfamiliar, but upon hearing it, he instantly recalled a legend from the Divine Sword Sect.

Senior Brother Mo Feng, originally named Li Mofeng, whose fame already resounded throughout the Divine Sword Sect when Ye Xiaofan was still challenging the Seventy-Two Small Peaks.

He was none other than one of the masters of the Thirty-Six Holy Peaks and even one of the top ten Sacred Peaks, famous alongside Jian Wushuang and others. His prestige was immense, and even though these people despised the limelight back then, the tales about the Ten Great Sacred Peaks were deeply engrained in people’s minds.

Upon hearing this, Li Mofeng’s pupils narrowed, clearly sensing a hint of unfriendliness in Luo Qingchen’s tone.

Actually, he could not blame her for being repelled by him. Back when he pursued Luo Qingxian, his methods as a senior brother were extreme, even employing unsavory tactics that pushed Luo Qingxian into the spotlight, arousing Luo Qingchen’s dissatisfaction.

Seeing Luo Qingchen still harboring animosity towards him, Li Mofeng’s demeanor immediately softened, as he turned his gaze to Ye Xiaofan.

Suddenly, unable to do anything about Luo Qingchen, he shifted all his emotions onto that figure.

Ye Xiaofan raised an eyebrow at this, but said nothing. He already had plenty of enemies, what difference did one or two more make? Even if the opponent was a cultivator in the Self-Slaying Realm, there were possibly many such cultivators from both Righteous and Demonic Dao who wanted him dead. Who knew how they ranked compared to this person?

Besides, even if these senior brothers considered him a so-called ’romantic rival,’ at least they wouldn’t dare go too far openly.

Ye Xiaofan knew well that jumping out to explain would only make things worse, so he simply chose to remain silent.

For a moment, the tension above was palpable, with an indescribable awkwardness in the air.

Who would have thought that one day, some of the scariest prodigies of the Divine Sword Sect would be jealous in front of nearly two million junior disciples?

Of course, not all of the Divine Sword Sect prodigy peak representatives present were unfriendly towards Ye Xiaofan. After all, of these more than twenty individuals, not all were male cultivators; at least a third were stunning female cultivators.

The beautiful eyes of these astonishing senior sisters looked at that figure without the crisis sense male cultivators had, instead appraising him with great interest.

They all wanted to see, what made this new junior disciple, who caught Luo Qingxian’s eye, different?

Unfortunately, just at a glance, they couldn’t spot anything particularly remarkable. However, in terms of appearance alone, the young junior brother was indeed quite distinct, but in the Cultivation Realm, looks alone wouldn’t garner the future Saintess’ special attention.

Nonetheless, the fact that Luo Qingxian was willing to offend the Divine Sword Sect’s Supreme Elder Council’s Chief Elder to bring him up suggested it was definitely not that simple.
