"Brother Yuwen, it's been a while! Your Star Picking Sect has been blessed with good fortune for the past two years. This year, there's a chance for you to break through two levels … Congratulations! "The Ling Tian Sect's elder said enthusiastically without waiting for Yuwen Tai Ran to speak after entering the courtyard.
"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Xia, haha …" Yuwen Tai Ran replied with a fist salute.
'Xia? Is he You You's elder? 'Chen Hao thought to himself when he heard how Yuwen Tai Ran addressed him.
The Ling Tian Sect's inner court elder was indeed a direct descendant of the Ling Tian Sect. The third inner court elder was the brother of the Ling Tian Sect's Sect Leader. He was Xia Lanlan's grandfather, Xia Lingyun.
Xia Lingyun's eyes glowed as he slowly scanned the thirty-one disciples of the Star-Picking Sect. At this moment, Chen Hao and the others all felt a faint pressure. When his gaze swept over Helian Wuzi and Tantai Lian, he paused for a moment. He was secretly surprised. The life aura of the two naturally couldn't escape his senses, especially Helian Wuzi. To have such a cultivation at such a young age was definitely very, very shocking.
In the end, Xia Lingyun's gaze stopped on Chen Hao.
"Little guy, you're Chen Hao, aren't you?" Xia Lingyun stroked his shiny black beard with a benevolent smile on his face. He stared at Chen Hao and asked all of a sudden.
"That's me." Chen Hao saluted with a fist salute. Although he was slightly surprised, he remained calm.
"Not bad! You're indeed a dragon among men … Old Man, you're Lanlan's grandfather. Thank you for saving Lanlan and Yu Fei's lives twice … "
"You're too kind, Senior. It's nothing. Moreover, Brother Duan has given me a reward … "Chen Hao said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"No matter how high the reward is, it can't be compared to the lives of my granddaughter and grandson-in-law, can it? This is our Ling Tian Sect's VIP token. Yours is different from the others. It's very special … You can't reject it, haha … "Xia Lingyun said as he stared at Chen Hao meaningfully. As he spoke, he sent out a burst of energy and a silver token appeared in front of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was slightly taken aback. Sensing the faint aura on the token, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of excitement. This aura was very weak. Even Yuwen Tairan, who was not far away, was confused by the other powerful aura on the token. He did not notice, or rather, did not care, that insignificant aura.
"Brother Xia, you're too polite …" Yuwen Tairan said, slightly surprised. Although the VIP token of the Ling Tian Sect was not a spirit weapon nor was there anything profound about it, it was still something that many cultivators in the Eastern Continent dreamed of having. With it, there would be no obstruction in the area under the jurisdiction of the Ling Tian Sect. Moreover, all the chambers of commerce and forces under the protection of the Ling Tian Sect in the Eastern Continent could enjoy VIP treatment. This was undoubtedly very convenient for cultivators who were training in the cultivation world. "Chen Hao, aren't you going to thank Elder Xia?"
"Thank you, Senior Xia." Chen Hao took the token and cupped his fists to express his gratitude.
"This is what you deserve. Perform well in the Inter-Sect Competition. Chu Qingtian, Wu Ruochen, and the others can be said to be a gathering of powerhouses. The competition is very, very intense. Big sects have their own views. Sigh … Brother Yuwen, your Star Picking Sect has a total of 31 people. Based on the number of people, you're considered average even among fifth-grade sects. However, if you want to be promoted to a fifth-grade sect, it'll depend on their performance … Here are 31 tokens. Let them refine it with their blood, input the information, and wear it on their bodies. Old Man, I'll take my leave first … "
"Alright. Thank you, Brother Xia! "
Yuwen Tairan was secretly surprised as he watched Xia Lingyun disappear in front of him. He did not understand what Xia Lingyun meant. Did Xia Lingyun think that Chen Hao could compete with Chu Qingtian, Wu Ruochen, Gu Xing, and the other top geniuses who had stepped into the Incarnation Stage? Even if he could, it was because of his potential and not his strength. After all, Chen Hao had just stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage and had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. What was even more strange was Xia Lingyun's words about big sects having their own views. It was even more baffling. What did this have to do with Chen Hao?
…
"Sectarian views? F * ck your f * cking sectarian views!"
After stepping into the cultivation room, Chen Hao's face that was as calm as water suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness without any warning as he scolded angrily. He was not scolding Xia Lingyun. Chen Hao could feel that Xia Lingyun's gaze was filled with admiration and sincere gratitude when he looked at him. Otherwise, with his arrogant character, why would he be so courteous to Xia Lingyun who was a junior?
Others might not understand Xia Lingyun's words, but Chen Hao could. Without a doubt, he was clearly telling Chen Hao that even with Chen Hao's current reputation in the Eastern Continent's cultivation world, he could not make the Ling Tian Sect accept his relationship with Xia Youyou. The biggest obstacle would be Chu Qingtian and Wu Ruochen.
When he recalled Xia Lingfeng, the Sect Leader of the Ling Tian Sect, and Xia Youyou's father, Xia Yutang, especially Xia Yutang's face, Chen Hao could not suppress his anger.
He could not do anything to them, but he wanted to use his own strength to slap them back. Since they looked down on others, then he would become an existence that they could only look up to!
So what if they were a grade-nine sect?
"Youyou belongs to me, Chen Hao. Nobody can stop me! Nobody can have her! If you push me too far, I'll cook the rice with you and give birth to my grandson … Cough cough … "
When he thought of the innocent and flawless Xia Youyou, her beautiful figure, clear and innocent eyes, her angel-like pure, cute, and holy face, and her unrestrained and pure personality, Chen Hao who was boiling with anger instantly calmed down and looked at the VIP token that Xia Lingyun gave him.
With Chen Hao's character, he would never accept any gift related to the Ling Tian Sect. However, due to the uniqueness of this token, he had no choice but to accept it temporarily. This was because there was a trace of Xia Youyou's aura on the token. It was the aura of the Nine Revolution Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Form.
Such a low-level aura was the most familiar aura to both Chen Hao and Xia Youyou. How could Chen Hao forget it?
However, Chen Hao did not understand why Youyou left her aura on the token. Was it just to let him accept the VIP token? Obviously, it was not that simple. Both of them had been cultivating in the ruin for more than a year and had always been in a state of telepathy. They had a deep understanding of each other's character, so how could Xia Youyou not know? However, the token was not a communication talisman nor was it a jade slip. What kind of mystery could it have?
Chen Hao urged his mind slightly. Although he could not use his True Origin, it was very easy for him to release such an aura that was very low-level to him.
Hiss hiss hiss!
What Chen Hao did not expect was that as soon as his aura came into contact with the token, a strange fluctuation suddenly emitted from the token. It was like a wisp of green smoke drifting out, causing Chen Hao to widen his eyes in surprise.
"Hao Hao …"
A devastatingly beautiful figure, both real and illusory, suddenly appeared in front of Chen Hao. A voice that was as pleasant as the sound of nature, carrying a trace of surprise and excitement, shouted out from the illusory figure. "Hao Hao." Only Youyou would address Chen Hao as such. Only Youyou, who was older than Chen Hao and called herself 'Big Sister', would call him by such a nickname that Chen Hao could not bear.
"Hehe … Why are you in a daze? This is Youyou's incarnation …"
Incarnation. After a cultivator stepped into the Incarnation Stage, they could rely on a wisp of True Origin that contained their mind to condense an External Incarnation that was connected to the main body. The farther away the External Incarnation was, the weaker it would be. If it was by their side, they could rely on powerful magical treasures to condense an Incarnation and increase their battle strength by several times. This was because the main body and the incarnation were completely connected. However, although Xia Youyou was also living in this palace, she was in the deepest part of the palace that only ninth rank sects had the qualifications to live in. They were separated by at least ten li. To be able to use a wisp of True Origin to condense an Incarnation that was both real and illusory was already very impressive.
After entering the cultivation world, although they had coincidentally met twice and talked once, it was under the condition that they had not recognized each other. The third time they met, although Xia Youyou was only an incarnation, the two of them were alone. At this moment, Xia Youyou was the real Xia Youyou. In front of Chen Hao, there was not the slightest change due to time or distance, nor was there any barrier.
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Hao's heart that was as firm as a boulder was almost instantly moved by Xia Youyou. The corner of his mouth naturally revealed a smile as he said, "This incarnation of yours is really ugly. I can't even see it clearly …"
"So hateful. For Youyou to be able to condense an Incarnation from so far away is already very impressive … Haohao, I heard from Sister Lanlan that you have made many, many good friends, and they are all very beautiful …"
"Eh … Youyou, don't listen to her nonsense. How are there many, many?"
"One is called Tantai Lian, one is called Chen Xue, one is called Helian Wuzi, and there are many others that Sister Lanlan did not mention. Youyou knows all of them … Tantai Lian obtained the Phoenix Inheritance with you, Chen Xue trained with you, and Sister Lanlan said that she is very powerful. Helian Wuzi has only recently entered the cultivation world and is from your kingdom. She is also very powerful …"
"Cough cough …" Chen Hao awkwardly coughed twice. He did not expect Xia Youyou to know his situation like the back of her hand. It must be that girl Xia Lanlan who was gossiping and maliciously making up stories to increase the number. Of course, it must also be because Xia Youyou had been collecting information about him all along. However, Chen Hao was clear that Xia Lanlan was thinking for Youyou. But what would Chen Hao say?
This was a very complicated question. It was a question that made Chen Hao's head hurt and unable to answer. Explain? This was the truth, what's the point of explaining? As for concealing, lying, and temporarily placating, Chen Hao disdained to do it.
"Haohao, you can't … can't treat them better than Youyou, okay?"
Just when Chen Hao's head was about to explode and he did not know what to say, the pure and cute Xia Youyou's illusory figure gently "pulled" Chen Hao's arm. It was just an action, and she did not really pull him, as she said in a seemingly pitiful manner.
"Good! Youyou, you are still the best! "Chen Hao was a little emotional as he agreed. This was the absolute truth. Even Chen Hao did not expect Xia Youyou to be so "reasonable" and "considerate".
