Chapter 385 My Dad's Got My Back (1)
The Ultimate System · 第385章 我爹来罩着我(1)
"These disciples of the Profound Sword Pavilion are truly beautiful. Even the junior sisters of our Heaven and Earth Sect can't compare to these stunning women." A young man, elegant and unrestrained, curled his lips as he watched the female disciples of the Profound Sword Pavilion passing by, a hint of delight flickering in his eyes.
"Brother Huang, you are the senior disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. If you take a fancy to any of them, just have your father propose a marriage. What problem could there be?" The young man beside him was also exceptionally handsome, and he too was carefully appraising the female disciples passing by.
"Haha, Brother Li, what you say makes a lot of sense. We are both young; proposing a marriage and taking a concubine is naturally no problem at all." Huang Yuanlong said with a laugh.
Both of them were of extraordinary status, being the young masters of their sects, second only to one and above ten thousand.
Because their fathers were the current sect masters.
"The Profound Sword Pavilion is a women's sect. If they don't find some backing, I'm afraid it won't do. I heard that last time a demon lord came knocking on their door, and even their mountain-protecting formation was broken. If not for a mysterious person who came to their rescue, the Profound Sword Pavilion would have ceased to exist." Huang Yuanlong said.
"Brother Huang, is that so? But thinking about it, it's not surprising. Although the sect master of the Profound Sword Pavilion is advanced in age, she wouldn't choose a new sect master so soon. In my opinion, she must have been severely injured that time and had to retreat behind the scenes." Li Cangmang said.
The two stood outside the main hall of the Profound Sword Pavilion, as if directing the country, their eyes sweeping over the female disciples around them, burning with fierce flames.
As for the inside of the hall, they didn't want to go in, because to them, the discussions inside were utterly boring, or rather, a waste of time.
It was better to stay here and look at the beauties.
"Brother Huang, look at that guy over there. He's a bit arrogant, surrounded by so many beauties." Li Cangmang, seeing the scene in the distance, was somewhat displeased.
They had been standing here for a while without a single girl, but that guy over there was annoying, with so many beauties around him.
Huang Yuanlong followed his gaze and frowned slightly, then a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Brother Li, let's go over and get to know him. See what his background is."
...
"Senior Brother, today is the day of our master's enthronement. The rouge you gave me last night is really good, much better than what I used before." A female disciple said, hovering around Liu Lingfeng.
"Of course, my dad made it for me. He calls it perfume, not rouge." Liu Lingfeng sniffed the scent on himself, looking delighted. But when he thought of his deceased father, he was filled with sorrow.
"Brother Liu, since when did you have a dad?" Lei Hengfeng, a disciple of the Dao Seed Mountain, looked bewildered. He had always found Liu Lingfeng effeminate and annoying. Being girly was bad enough, but he also loved to show off—how could that be tolerated?
And now he had a dead father, which made Lei Hengfeng even more speechless.
"Senior Brother Liu, your dad is amazing. This perfume smells so good." Xing Yueyu, also a disciple of the Dao Seed Mountain and always Lei Hengfeng's shadow, had defected after using Liu Lingfeng's perfume. She now tried to curry favor with Liu Lingfeng, acting like a sister to get a few bottles.
"Huh, of course. Brother Lei, do I have to inform you if I have a dad? You're too nosy." Liu Lingfeng glanced at Lei Hengfeng and said in a effeminate voice.
The junior sisters around them covered their mouths and chuckled. Senior Brother Liu seemed to have an eternal feud with Lei Hengfeng; they would clash every time they met.
Lei Hengfeng curled his lips and didn't want to say anything more.
"May I ask how you all address each other? I am Huang Yuanlong, the young master of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and this is Li Cangmang, the young master of the Mountain and Sea Sect."
The two showed confident smiles and cupped their hands, as if trying to blend in. At the same time, their eyes swept over the female disciples nearby, nodding inwardly.
Not bad, all very good.
Liu Lingfeng glanced at the two, then ignored them completely, continuing to chat with the junior sisters as he walked toward the main hall.
Huang Yuanlong and Li Cangmang frowned, feeling very displeased.
Lei Hengfeng looked at the two, then followed Liu Lingfeng. "Brother Liu, you're being a bit disrespectful. These two are not ordinary young masters. You might get into trouble like this."
"Huh... trouble? I'm not afraid. I have my dad to protect me. No matter how vast the world, who dares to bully me? Look at you, such a coward, living so miserably." Liu Lingfeng said.
Lei Hengfeng was now truly speechless. Damn idiot. But thinking about it, it probably wasn't a big deal, so he didn't take it to heart.
...
"Brother Huang, that guy is a bit too presumptuous." Li Cangmang said with a displeased expression.
"Hmph, I know the one beside him. He's Lei Hengfeng, the senior disciple of the Dao Seed Mountain. As for that guy, his cultivation is mediocre, not very high. I don't know his background, but we'll find out." Huang Yuanlong's eyes were shadowed with resentment, but there was no rush; they would take it slow.
...
The enthronement ceremony of the new sect master of the Profound Sword Pavilion was held grandly. After all, it was a major event for the sect. Even if the sect was poor, they would make sure this aspect was very solemn.
Outside the main hall, a heaven-worshipping ceremony was held to pray for blessings.
"Yunxian, from now on, you are the 138th sect master of the Profound Sword Pavilion. The future of the Profound Sword Pavilion depends on you." The former sect master handed the sword, a symbol of the sect master, to Xuan Yunxian.
"Yes." Xuan Yunxian nodded.
The former sect master looked at everything and breathed a sigh of relief.
The ceremony ended quickly.
The sect masters of various sects who came to attend the enthronement ceremony gathered together, discussing various matters.
Liu Lingfeng stood behind Xuan Yunxian, looking bored. Especially when he saw the sect masters of other sects looking at his master with unfriendly eyes, he became even more annoyed.
"Sect Master Xuan, congratulations on your enthronement. My son just told me something that I think will greatly benefit the future relationship between our two sects. I wonder if Sect Master Xuan can grant it." The sect master of the Heaven and Earth Sect said at this moment.
"Please speak." Xuan Yunxian said with a slight smile.
Whether a sect can become strong depends not only on producing talents within the sect but also on maintaining good relations with other sects.
The Heaven and Earth Sect and the Profound Sword Pavilion were not too far apart, and the older generation had some connections.
"Yuanlong, tell Sect Master Xuan yourself." The sect master of the Heaven and Earth Sect said calmly.
Huang Yuanlong, standing behind his father, cupped his hands to Xuan Yunxian and greeted her.
"Sect Master Xuan, I have taken a liking to that junior sister over there. I hope to become her partner, and I ask for your blessing." Huang Yuanlong pointed to the female disciple who had been talking with Liu Lingfeng earlier.
Li Cangmang, hearing Brother Huang's words, was immediately inspired and stepped forward. "Sect Master Xuan, I have taken a liking to that junior sister over there. I also hope to become her partner, and I ask for your blessing."
Liu Lingfeng, who had been standing behind Xuan Yunxian, was stunned when he heard this, then his face flushed with anger.
Especially when he saw the smug smiles in the eyes of those two, he was so angry his face turned red.
The two female disciples who were pointed out were also instantly bewildered. They had never expected something like this to happen.
Xuan Yunxian was taken aback, obviously confused by the situation. "Yunling, Yunyan, come out."
"Sect Master..." The two stepped forward, looking innocent. How could they have anticipated this? They then looked at Liu Lingfeng, hoping their senior brother would speak for them.
The former sect master of the Profound Sword Pavilion quietly patted the back of Xuan Yunxian's hand.
Xuan Yunxian glanced at the former sect master, then spoke, "Are you two willing?"
"We... we..." The two were flustered. Although they had been carefree in the sect, they knew some things in their hearts.
Just as they didn't know what to do, Liu Lingfeng stepped forward.
