Yang Yan asked somewhat curiously:

"If that’s the case, why does no one dare to sit?"

The Outer Sect disciple turned back with a gentle smile, then raised his head towards the sky:

"Well, if you have their strength, you could sit there openly and honorably."

Yang Yan followed his gaze and looked over, discovering dozens of cyan figures soaring through the sky, each deliberately exuding a powerful aura.

These cyan-robed disciples landed openly on the viewing platform and sat down, quite close to those Inner Sect disciples.

Just below the Inner Sect disciples.

Those Inner Sect disciples merely glanced once, and acquaintances from both sides greeted each other warmly.

"Are those the three hundred Marquis Mansion people of the Inner Sect?"

Such arrogant Outer Sect disciples might in Yang Yan’s eyes only be the three hundred abode masters on Ten Thousand Mountains who have the courage to act this way.

"Naturally."

The man nodded:

"Every one of them is a renowned figure in the Outer Sect. Even the Inner Sect senior brothers would give them some respect."

"After all, they are about to enter the Inner Sect; entry is often just a matter of time."

Yang Yan nodded thoughtfully:

"I see, thank you, brother!"

Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed Gu Sheng’s shoulder.

Xiaopang was still excitedly looking around!

The Ancient Abyss Sect recruits disciples once every ten years.

Such a grand occasion only occurs once every decade.

For him, this was the first time experiencing this; naturally, he was very excited and curious.

"Are you tired of standing?"

Yang Yan asked.

Gu Sheng instinctively nodded and responded:

"Yes! Young master, we’ve been standing for half an hour."

"Haha! Then I’ll take you to sit down!"

Without waiting for Gu Sheng to respond, Yang Yan lifted him by his broad shoulder and soared into the air.

A somewhat brighter beam of light rushed towards the viewing platform.

This scene immediately drew the attention of countless people.

After all, anyone who could sit on the platform was considered a big shot by the Named Disciples and Outer Sect disciples below.

As Yang Yan carried Gu Sheng towards the platform, two figures, one cyan and one white, happened to pass by in the sky.

The direction was just the area of the viewing platform Yang Yan had chosen.

However, Yang Yan flew up behind them and quickly surpassed the two graceful figures, causing them to be slightly surprised.

"Just sit here and sit comfortably!"

After tossing Gu Sheng down, seeing his surprised expression, Yang Yan smiled and reassured him, calmly sitting down.

The place Yang Yan brought Gu Sheng was right above where those three hundred Inner Sect Marquis Mansion Outer Sect disciples were, next to a large group of Inner Sect disciples.

Seeing himself appear directly here, Gu Sheng naturally understood Yang Yan’s intention.

But how could he dare to sit?!

Even if Yang Yan had access to the three hundred Inner Sect Marquis Mansion seats, it was barely appropriate to sit here.

Though others might see it as somewhat arrogant, it barely made sense.

But what about him, Gu Sheng?

His gray robe was so conspicuous!

Frightened, Gu Sheng shivered and ran behind Yang Yan, standing upright, trying to appear serene and composed.

Actually, he was terrified inside, fearing someone might focus on him and cause trouble.

This was the top row; there were actually no seats behind.

However, there was a small part of the platform behind where people could stand without a problem.

Noticing Yang Yan’s enquiring look, Gu Sheng hastily explained:

"Young master, I... I won’t sit; it’s against the rules, I’ll just stand obediently!"

When Gu Sheng said this, his face was pale, his tongue a bit tied.

As long as he saw the eyes of those Inner Sect disciples turn towards him, his legs went weak.

An Inner Sect disciple seeking to punish him needed only an unfounded accusation to doom him.

Even with Yang Yan’s strength, it would be hard to protect him completely.

"You’re tired, aren’t you? With me here, what are you afraid of?! Come on, put your mind at ease and sit down. If anything happens..."

Yang Yan was saying this with a smile, but suddenly stopped talking.

Two strong winds came, and Yang Yan’s eyes sharpened as he abruptly turned around.

Accompanying the breeze came a faint fragrance.

Appearing before Yang Yan were two graceful beauties.

Two women Yang Yan knew.

"Steward Yu, the woman in white... Fairy Wang Peicong, please sit, both of you!"

Once Yang Yan saw their faces, he felt relieved.

Just now, he thought trouble was coming!

Given that Steward Yu knew he was a Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body, she shouldn’t make things difficult for him.

And the other fairy-like person, Wang Peicong, had no enmity with him, so there was no need to fear.

"Why did you bring a follower up here? Don’t you know Named Disciples are only allowed to stand and observe the ceremony?"

Little did Yang Yan know, after greeting them, Steward Yu sternly questioned him.

Steward Yu, also known as Jade Ruyi, was the good sister of the Inner Sect senior sister Wang Peicong.

She was also a prominent figure in the Outer Sect.

She was even famous in the Inner Sect, rumored to have many admirers.

At this moment, having seen Yang Yan, she hadn’t changed her impression of him.

What Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body, Daoist Saint Son?

It’s merely good fortune.

He’s actually a wanton scoundrel!

And so arrogant was he to bring a follower onto the new disciples’ competition platform; it was intolerable.

Did he really think being a Celestial Flood Dragon Saint Body exempted him from sect rules?!

The more Jade Ruyi thought, the angrier she got, her pretty face slightly contorting.

That’s it, that’s it!

Little fatty Gu Sheng’s heart sank, his face turning bitter.

He bit his lip and whispered in Yang Yan’s ear:

"Young master, the sect indeed limits Named Disciples."

Yang Yan was momentarily speechless.

It seemed he was ultimately an outsider and didn’t understand these matters well enough.

Under the roof, he had to lower his head.

Furthermore, the other party was a woman, and there was no need to break relations.

Thinking this, Yang Yan felt relieved.

He seemingly cowered under Steward Yu’s imposing gaze, gracefully lowered his head, and explained:

"I’m truly sorry, I wasn’t familiar with the sect’s rules. Fortunately, you reminded me in time; I’ll immediately send him down."

Thus, under the astonished gazes of the two women, Yang Yan "ashamedly" carried Gu Sheng down from the platform, placing him among the Named Disciples.

That group of Named Disciples was also afraid of Yang Yan, respectfully making way for him.

They had witnessed the scene just now, realizing this inappropriate Outer Sect senior brother had been driven away by the fairies.

However, they dared not laugh.

Even toward Gu Sheng, they showed considerable respect.

They were genuinely afraid Yang Yan might vent his frustration on the minor roles they played.

"Stay here and be good; I’ll go up alone."

Yang Yan comforted Gu Sheng with a sentence; without waiting for him to speak, he rose into the air again, transforming into a streak of light flying towards the platform, leaving the Named Disciples in disbelief.
