Outside the hanging basket was a very wide platform, just like a large helipad. After the hanging basket landed, it was slowly dragged on the ground, and then lifted from the other side of the platform.
At this moment, a male and female cultivator stood outside. The man was Senior Apprentice Brother Bai, whom he had met before, and the woman, presumably, was his Honorable Master, Ancestor Hong Luan.
Ye Kong had heard Junior Apprentice Brother Ma's introduction and knew that Ancestor Hong Luan was an early-stage Yuanying Cultivator, the weakest of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain's Five Magnates, and also the elder sister of Lian Ruolan's Master.
However, although Ancestor Hong Luan was the elder sister of Ancestor Blue Luan, she looked even younger than Ancestor Blue Luan. She had red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows were arched in a palace dress. Her figure was even more enchanting, and her simple cultivator's robe could not hide the undulating peaks under her clothes.
Lian Ruolan did not hear the conversation outside, so when she saw Ancestor Hong Luan, she was a bit surprised and quickly greeted her.
"Greetings, Martial Aunt." Lian Ruolan gracefully stepped forward and spoke in a well-behaved manner.
"No need. Did your experiential learning go well?" Ancestor Hong Luan motioned for Lian Ruolan to stand up and asked casually. However, her eyes were still staring at Ye Kong, which made Ye Kong's hair stand on end.
'F * ck, this father is very handsome, but you don't need to look at me like that, right? What do you mean by that look? You're speaking ill of me behind my back, so what? '
Ye Kong thought in his heart and looked back at Ancestor Hong Luan without fear. 'So what if you're a Yuanying Cultivator? A Qi Refining Cultivator also has dignity! '
Ancestor Hong Luan stared blankly for a moment. She thought that this little cultivator would be scared to the point of trembling when he saw the Yuanying Cultivator. However, she did not expect that this kid would have the courage to stare back at her. She did not know whether this kid had something to rely on, or was just arrogant and ignorant.
Lian Ruolan did not know that they were staring at each other and quickly replied, "Reporting to Martial Aunt, this experiential learning went well. Ruolan not only saw the world, but also made a lot of loyal friends." As she spoke, she turned around and waved at Ye Kong. Then, she introduced, "This is a friend I made on this trip, Ye Kong. He saved me several times." Then, he said to Ye Kong, "Hurry up and greet him. This is one of the five great Yuanying cultivators of our Spiritual Medicine Mountain, Patriarch Hong Luan."
"Greetings, Patriarch Hong Luan." It was Ye Kong's first time in this noble land, and he did not want to offend anyone. He also did not want to make things difficult for Lian Ruolan, so he had to humble himself and come over to pay his respects.
Ancestor Hong Luan smiled complacently. 'This kid is truly ignorant and fearless. Now that you've heard that I'm at the Yuanying stage, are you afraid?' I thought you were more daring.
Ancestor Hong Luan did not give any face to Ye Kong. She cupped her hands towards Ye Kong and did not answer. Instead, she lectured Lian Ruolan, "Ruolan, the outside world is not as simple as our mountain. People's hearts are unpredictable, and some people approach you with a purpose. You should not make friends carelessly, or else it will be too late to regret it."
When Ye Kong heard this, he secretly cursed in his heart. 'This woman is really hateful. Did I provoke you? Why did you belittle me in front of my face? I think that you, master and disciple, are the ones with ulterior motives.' As Ye Kong thought about it, he withdrew his bow and stood to the side. 'Damn it, if you don't give me face, then don't even think about getting any face from me!'
Lian Ruolan also heard the words of Ancestor Hong Luan. Although Ancestor Hong Luan was good to her, she could not let others slander Ye Kong. She immediately retorted, "Martial Aunt, although people's hearts are unpredictable, I believe that there are still people who are just and selfless. Otherwise, wouldn't the Immortal Cultivation World turn into a world of beasts?"
Ye Kong felt refreshed as he listened to her words. She was this father's future Dual Cultivation Companion. The words she spoke were becoming more and more like this young master's style.
Ancestor Hong Luan did not expect that her Martial Niece, who had always been well-behaved, would actually contradict her in such a manner. She could not help but gawk at Lian Ruolan, unable to reply.
Senior Apprentice Brother Bai, who was standing on the side, could not stand it anymore. He quickly came out and reprimanded her, "Junior Apprentice Sister, how can you speak to Honoured Master like that? Moreover, it is in front of outsiders. You are too rude! "
Humph, is there any use for you to come out and help her? Ye Kong, who was standing behind her, spoke out to himself, "Polite? At least we don't speak ill of people behind their backs, nor do we play dirty tricks behind their backs. "
Senior Apprentice Brother Bai's face turned red from being ridiculed. He could not help but fly into a rage out of shame, "Hey, what did you say? Speak clearly! Who is speaking ill of people behind their backs? "
Ye Kong laughed and spoke, "Senior Apprentice Brother Bai, why are you so agitated? I'm not talking about you … Oh, could it be that Senior Apprentice Brother Bai often speaks ill of people behind their backs? Oh, sorry for my disrespect. I was wrong. In fact, speaking ill of people behind their backs is a kind of good moral character. It has been passed down for thousands of years. It is precisely because of people like Senior Apprentice Brother Bai that this kind of good moral character has been passed down from generation to generation.
Ye Kong's sarcasm and ridicule caused Senior Apprentice Brother Bai's face to turn from red to white. However, he had no way of replying, because he did not know if Lian Ruolan had heard the conversation between him and Ancestor Hong Luan.
"Enough!" Ancestor Hong Luan angrily roared, and threw a sentence at Ye Kong, "Arrogant and ignorant!" Saying that, she took Senior Apprentice Brother Bai to the basket and rose into the sky.
Once in the basket, Senior Apprentice Brother Bai pitifully spoke to Ancestor Hong Luan, "Honoured Master, this disciple was scolded by that kid to such an extent. Honoured Master, you have to uphold justice for me."
In fact, he could not wait for Ancestor Hong Luan to kill that kid out of anger. Only then would he be able to vent his anger and feel happy.
However, Ancestor Hong Luan smiled and said, "When cultivators cultivate, the most important thing is to pay attention to one's state of mind. If you can't even bear a few words from a little cultivator, how can you advance to a higher level?"
"Honoured Master is right." Senior Apprentice Brother Bai hurriedly accepted it humbly, but in his heart, he hated Ye Kong even more.
Ancestor Hong Luan spoke again, "This little cultivator has a sharp tongue. You can't beat him in a verbal argument. Now that Ruolan has a good relationship with him, if you kill him, I'm afraid that she will never forgive you for the rest of her life. This kind of rogue cultivator is looking forward to joining a big Immortal Cultivation Sect like us. Therefore, the best way is to make him fail in his apprenticeship and drive him out of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. This is the biggest punishment for him. "
Senior Apprentice Brother Bai's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Honoured Master is really brilliant."
In fact, Ancestor Hong Luan did not agree to help Senior Apprentice Brother Bai in the beginning. After all, playing tricks behind the scenes and ruining the path of a little cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm to become an apprentice was too despicable. As a Yuanying Ancestor, Hong Luan disdained to do such a thing.
However, when she saw the two of them, Hong Luan still made a decision. The key was that she could see that Lian Ruolan was indeed interested in this kid. Moreover, when Lian Ruolan walked out of the basket, her slightly red face made people's imagination run wild.
"It seems like the apprenticeship matter is going to fall through." Ye Kong said with a faint smile.
He really had a bad start this time. First, he encountered Yi Manying, who deliberately caused trouble for him. Now, he was schemed against by a villain. Moreover, Ancestor Blue Luan did not have a good impression of him. Therefore, it was most likely that he would not succeed.
Lian Ruolan anxiously said, "Don't be discouraged. Wait for me to go back and beg my Honoured Master. She will definitely agree. There are thousands of cultivators in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, is it really that difficult to accept one person?"
Sometimes, it was just that difficult! Ye Kong did not try to dampen Lian Ruolan's enthusiasm. In fact, he also wanted to stay in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. He wanted to be intimate with Lian Ruolan every day. He wanted to use the "One Pillar Towards the Sky" to scare her.
"Let nature take its course." Ye Kong said and followed Lian Ruolan to the Elixir Refining Workshop.
