Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "This observation ceremony is a big event for the Tianyi Palace. Sect Leader Chen definitely can't get away. As the Young Sect Leader, you must be busy with a lot of things. Do you still have time to drink with me?"
Chen Xuan laughed and said, "The specific things are done by the disciples below. The important guests that I need to greet in person have basically all arrived. The others are the subsidiary sects of the Tianyi Palace or the leaders of some medium-sized sects. Let the elders receive them!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xuan added, "By the way, this time we also invited Valley Master Liu of the Soaring Flower Valley. She arrived at the Tianyi Palace this morning, and I personally went to greet her. Valley Master Liu only brought one disciple to observe the ceremony, and she is an old acquaintance of yours! "
"Oh?" Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yu Xin 'er?"
Xia Ruofei only knew three cultivators from the Soaring Flower Valley: Valley Master Liu Mansha, Elder Yangliu, and Liu Mansha's personal disciple, Yu Xin 'er. Since Liu Mansha only brought one disciple, and Chen Xuan claimed that she was an old acquaintance of Xia Ruofei, the answer was obvious. It couldn't be anyone else but Yu Xin' er.
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "That's right! Brother Ruofei, Fairy Yu is about the same age as you, and you both come from famous sects. If there is a chance, you can get to know each other more. Although the cultivators of the Soaring Blossom Valley don't care about male cultivators, Fairy Yu has always been kind to you. Furthermore, I can see that she admires you quite a bit! "
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "Brother Chen, don't try to match me up! I already have two Taoist companions, and I'm now obsessed with cultivation. I have no interest in the relationship between men and women. "
"You don't have to develop into Taoist companions! It's not bad to make friends! " Chen Xuan said with a smile, "I think Fairy Yu … might have fallen in love with you at first sight!"
"Don't make such a joke!" Xia Ruofei hurriedly said, "The female cultivators of the Soaring Flower Valley never get too close to men. If they hear it, it will inevitably cause a disturbance! You're the young head of the Tianyi Palace, and they're all your guests. It won't be good if something unpleasant happens. "
Chen Xuan thought about it and felt that what Xia Ruofei said was quite reasonable. He smiled and said, "I'm just joking! I originally wanted to bring you to visit Valley Head Liu, but since you said so, then forget it … "
"The less trouble, the better." Xia Ruofei said, "Anyway, I'll definitely see him at the observation ceremony tomorrow. I'll just go over and say hello."
"That makes sense!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Let's go! Brother Ruofei, I'll bring you to a place to settle down! "
Chen Xuan led Xia Ruofei along the mountain road for a short distance and arrived at a small courtyard.
Compared to the courtyards that were just arranged for Mu Sheng and Mu Jianfei, although the layout of this courtyard was basically the same, the environment seemed to be better, and the location was also better. It just happened to be in a prominent position on the hillside. Standing in the courtyard, one could overlook half of the Tianyi Palace. The view was excellent.
The two of them walked into the courtyard. It was a small courtyard with two rooms on each side. In the middle was a large bedroom in the style of a suite. There was a small courtyard in front of it. There were stone tables and stone stools in the courtyard. Every piece of furniture and furnishings were particularly exquisite.
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Brother Ruofei, you can stay here for the next few days. There are servant disciples nearby. If you need anything, just let them know! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said casually.
"Then I'll go take care of something first!" Chen Xuan said, "I'll come over at noon to drink and catch up with you!"
"If you're too busy, you don't have to come personally." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "In any case, I'll be here for the next few days. Once Sect Head Chen succeeds in his breakthrough, you'll have a lot of free time."
"It's fine. No matter how busy I am, I still have to eat!" Chen Xuan said with a smile. "Brother Ruofei, you rest first. See you at noon!"
After Chen Xuan said goodbye, Xia Ruofei walked around the small courtyard.
He looked through every room. Familiarizing himself with the environment was secondary. He was mainly worried that there was some kind of spying formation here.
He wasn't gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own pettiness. After all, Chen Nanfeng's attitude was unclear, and he had to be cautious.
Xia Ruofei's mental strength had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, which was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage. His attainments in formations were also very high. If there was really some kind of spying formation or trapping formation hidden here, it wouldn't be able to escape Xia Ruofei's detection.
He investigated very carefully, using his mental strength to scan inch by inch. He didn't even let go of the deep underground.
Although this would consume a lot of Spiritual Energy, Xia Ruofei did not hesitate to use this little bit of Spiritual Energy. He meticulously completed a thorough investigation of the entire courtyard.
The result made him feel slightly relieved. Everything in the courtyard was normal, and there were no hidden means or formations.
Confirming his own safety was one thing. More importantly, there were no formations in this courtyard, which meant that the possibility of the Tianyi Sect suspecting him had been further reduced.
Of course, this possibility could never be completely ruled out. Xia Ruofei was very afraid of Xia Ruofei. He felt that the number one person in the cultivation world was unfathomable. Sometimes, the means of such a person were not so easy to discover. Moreover, they wouldn't show up on the surface. They would directly tamper with the place where Xia Ruofei lived.
After the investigation, Xia Ruofei came to the courtyard. He sat down at the stone table and took out a tea set from the Ring-Tu space. He lit the charcoal in the clay stove and poured the spiritual pond water into the teapot, preparing to boil the water and make tea.
The tea leaves were the Da Hong Pao tea produced in the Ring-Tu space. Although Xia Ruofei had successfully cultivated the magical wild tea of the Tianyi Sect, he wasn't so careless as to take out wild tea and make tea in the territory of the Tianyi Sect.
The boiling water was poured into the tea set, and a strong tea fragrance immediately spread out.
Xia Ruofei skillfully made a cup of tea for himself with the technique of Kung Fu tea and then took a sip.
At this time, there was the sound of knocking on the door.
Xia Ruofei didn't use his mental strength to check. After all, everyone here was a cultivator. Even if Xia Ruofei's mental strength was very high, if he rashly scanned others with his mental strength, they might not notice it. However, this was still very rude.
Moreover, if the person who came was an expert like Chen Nanfeng — although this possibility was very small, Chen Nanfeng must be in closed-door cultivation at this time to adjust his state — if the other party noticed it, it might even cause a dispute.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't release his mental strength. Instead, he directly stood up and walked through the small courtyard, directly opening the door.
When Xia Ruofei saw the person standing outside the door, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He felt a little surprised — the person who came to visit was actually the head of the Star Picking Sect, Luo Qingfeng.
However, Xia Ruofei thought about it and understood.
The Star Picking Sect was very powerful to begin with. This time, the Tianyi Palace invited many guests, so the Star Picking Sect was definitely qualified to receive an invitation. Moreover, Chen Nanfeng and the others all knew that Xia Ruofei and the Star Picking Sect had a deep relationship. Even if the Star Picking Sect was very weak, with Xia Ruofei's face, they would definitely invite Luo Qingfeng.
"Head Luo!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "You're also here to attend Head Chen's observation ceremony?"
"Yes! Elder Xia! " Luo Qingfeng said. "I just met Young Head Chen. He told me that you live here, so I came to pay you a visit!"
After all, this was the territory of the Tianyi Palace, so Xia Ruofei was very careful and addressed Luo Qingfeng in a very formal manner.
Luo Qingfeng naturally understood immediately and changed the way he addressed Xia Ruofei.
When Luo Qingfeng announced in public that Xia Ruofei would be the Grand Elder of the Star Picking Sect, the news had naturally spread to the entire Cultivation World.
Therefore, no one would be suspicious if he addressed Xia Ruofei as "Elder Xia". As for his attitude, it was normal for him to be more respectful. After all, Xia Ruofei was the Grand Elder, and Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and the others still believed that there was a master of the Nascent Soul Stage behind Xia Ruofei, who was from the Star Picking Sect.
With this relationship, Xia Ruofei could even be considered Luo Qingfeng's elder. Naturally, there was no problem for Luo Qingfeng to be more respectful.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Don't stand at the door. Let's go in and talk!"
"Okay!" Luo Qingfeng said.
The two of them walked into the courtyard together. Xia Ruofei turned around and closed the door. Then, he led Xia Ruofei to the stone bench under the grape tree in the courtyard and sat down.
Then, he casually set up a soundproof array and asked with a smile, "Qingfeng, how have you been recently? How are the disciples in the sect? "
"Greetings, Master!" Luo Qingfeng bowed respectfully to Xia Ruofei.
When he saw Xia Ruofei set up a soundproof array, he immediately changed the way he addressed Xia Ruofei.
Then, Luo Qingfeng said, "Thanks to Master's blessing, the Star Picking Sect has been developing rapidly. A group of talented young disciples have emerged, and I am preparing to focus on training them. I believe that in a few years, they will grow into the backbone of the sect! "
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "You are tied up with some daily affairs in the Star Picking Sect. Otherwise, you can also go to Peach Blossom Island to cultivate. I think that when you have trained disciples of the Golden Core stage, you can give them up and concentrate on cultivating in Peach Blossom Island. "
"Yes! Thank you, Master! "Luo Qingfeng said," I will definitely work hard to train my disciples! "
"Good! Come, come, come! Sit down and have some tea! "Xia Ruofei greeted with a smile.
Then, he sat down first, picked up the kettle on the clay stove again, and began to make tea himself.
Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Master, let me do it!"
"No, no …" Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Making tea is also about feeling. I think that the tea I make is the best! Come! Try it! "
After that, Xia Ruofei took out a clean teacup and poured the filtered tea into a cup. Then, he smiled and handed it to Luo Qingfeng.
Luo Qingfeng was flattered and took the teacup, repeatedly thanking him.
The two of them sat in the courtyard, and Xia Ruofei chatted with Luo Qingfeng while making tea.
After a while, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Luo Qingfeng quickly stood up and prepared to open the door. Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Let's go out and have a look! There are a lot of visitors today! "
Xia Ruofei stood up and walked to the courtyard door, and Luo Qingfeng followed closely behind.
When Xia Ruofei opened the courtyard door and saw the people standing outside, he quickly bowed slightly and said, "Valley Master Liu! Miss Xin 'er! Hello! "
It was Liu Mansha with her disciple, Yu Xin 'er. Liu Mansha had a gentle smile on her face, and Yu Xin' er was slightly reserved. She didn't look directly at Xia Ruofei, but slightly lowered her eyes.
"Fellow Xia, I hope I didn't disturb you?" Liu Mansha smiled and said, "So Sect Master Luo is also here!"
"Greetings, Valley Master Liu!" Luo Qingfeng said politely.
Although they were both sect masters, the Star Picking Sect and the Soaring Flower Valley were not on the same level. At least, the Soaring Flower Valley's strength was still far stronger than the Star Picking Sect.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Valley Master Liu and Miss Xin 'er's visit really brings light to my humble dwelling! How could I disturb you? Please come in! "
After that, Xia Ruofei stepped to the side and made an inviting gesture.
Liu Mansha smiled and nodded, then walked into the courtyard with Yu Xin 'er.
Xia Ruofei led the two of them to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.
The stone table was perfectly matched with four stone stools. If there was another person, there wouldn't be enough space.
Xia Ruofei poured away the tea leaves and replaced them with new tea. After skillfully brewing the tea, he poured everyone a small cup and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to pay a visit to Valley Master Liu, but I was afraid that I would disturb you. I didn't expect Valley Master Liu to personally pay me a visit. This makes me very nervous!"
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "Everyone here is a guest. We're just visiting each other, so there's no need to be so particular! Moreover, Xin 'er benefited greatly from the previous expedition to the Mystic Luna Realm, including the entire Soaring Flower Valley. Speaking of which, we all owe you a favor! If not for your Obsidian Flying Ship, no one would have been able to reach the moon! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Valley Master Liu, you're too kind! Everyone cooperated fairly, so there's no need to say who owes whom a favor is owed. Miss Xin 'er was able to gain something in the Mystic Luna Realm because her strength and talent met the test standards of the Mystic Luna Realm. Otherwise, even if I brought her into the Mystic Luna Realm, she would definitely gain nothing and might even lose her life! Didn't Elder Muhua of the Surging Wave Sect and Elder Shen Tianfang of the Tianyi Sect unfortunately die in the Mystic Luna Realm? "
Liu Mansha sighed and said, "Yes! In front of a real mighty person, we are just like ants. So what if we're in the Golden Core Realm? We died in the Mystic Luna Realm just like that … "
Then, Liu Mansha said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, this time, Sect Master Chen should be very confident in his breakthrough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited so many guests to watch the ceremony. It seems that the Tianyi Sect will dominate the cultivation world in the future. "
Xia Ruofei's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew that Chen Nanfeng's breakthrough made Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng, the sect masters of the top sects, feel a sense of crisis.
Originally, although the Tianyi Sect was stronger than everyone else, the gap in their overall strength was not so big that they could not compete with them. However, once Chen Nanfeng broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he would definitely be an invincible existence, at least on the surface.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Yes! If Sect Master Chen can successfully break through, he will be the only person to reach this height in hundreds of years. His glory will be unparalleled! In comparison, the other sects will be much dimmer. "
