"Impossible. Although our Clear Lunar Island does not have any dealings with the Myriad God Ridge, we have heard that the Myriad God Ridge's sect master is an old man. How can it be you!?"
Jing Yuesha found it unbelievable. Although she did not know much about the Myriad God Ridge's sect master, she had heard from others that he was senile and lethargic. It was as though he had one foot in a coffin. That image was completely different from the youth in front of her.
"It's just a substitution. Is there a need for you to ask such an obvious question?"
Yi Yun did not stand on ceremony with the girl.
"Substitution …" Jing Yuesha was momentarily infuriated. Why did Yi Yun's words sound as though a restaurant had switched its chef?
"You only have a Dao Palace realm cultivation level and you are not more than three hundred years old, right? Even if the Myriad God Ridge's sect master were to be replaced, it would be impossible for such a young disciple to be replaced. How can you be the Myriad God Ridge's sect master? "
Jing Yuesha's cultivation level was lower than Yi Yun's but she had her own way of determining a person's cultivation level. She could even vaguely determine a Supremacy's cultivation level.
She could tell that Yi Yun was only at the eighth-storey Dao Palace realm. According to the cultivation speed of Clear Lunar Island's personal disciples, they would reach the eighth-storey Dao Palace realm at around three to four hundred years old. That was way too young.
However, Yi Yun turned a little impatient with Jing Yuesha's repeated questioning. "Did you come to visit me to ask how I became sect master? As the Myriad God Ridge's sect master, I am your senior. Yet, you keep questioning your senior. Did your Clear Lunar Island not teach you etiquette and respect your elders? "
"You …"
Jing Yuesha was left somewhat dumbfounded by Yi Yun's reprimand. Back when she traveled, she had met members of the opposite sex her age. They yearned for her to converse with them. Even if it was unpleasant to the ears, they would gladly endure it. However, Yi Yun had directly reprimanded her. She had never heard someone of the opposite sex her age speak to her with such malice. It left her furious and aggrieved.
Yi Yun looked up and glanced at Jing Yuesha. He could tell that the girl had led a smooth life. She had been fawned over by others and was accustomed to being arrogant. Yi Yun did not dislike such girls, but he would never go along with their temperament.
"You address your elders as' you. 'Is that how you address your Clear Lunar Island's Island Lord? You just bragged about your etiquette, saying that my Myriad God Ridge disciples do not know the rules. Why have you not bowed to me? "
Jing Yuesha was so infuriated that she nearly burst into tears. What was most infuriating was that someone was using her own words to return the favor. Furthermore, she had no way to retort.
Upon seeing Jing Yuesha's expression, Yi Yun suddenly felt that being the Myriad God Ridge's sect master was not a bad thing. At the very least, he could teach others a lesson without any qualms.
Jing Yuesha's face flushed red from Yi Yun's words. She could not say a word. Against Yi Yun, she had been bullied into a punching bag.
She was now certain that Yi Yun was likely the Myriad God Ridge's sect master. It was impossible for him to impersonate the sect master for so long. If he was fake, the Myriad God Ridge's true sect master would have long exposed him. This puzzled her. How could a junior be revered by the other Myriad God Elders?
The Myriad God Ridge had gone mad. To choose such a young punk as sect master, it would probably not take long for it to close its doors!
"Sect Master Yi, don't be angry. Don't tease Yuesha any further. Yuesha was rude when she questioned your identity. I apologize on her behalf," said Jing Yueping lightly.
Her tone was obviously protective of Jing Yuesha. As for Jing Yuesha bowing to Yi Yun, there was no need for her to do so. She obviously would not watch her martial niece suffer any grievances.
Since Jing Yueping had spoken up, Yi Yun did not pursue the matter further. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"It's about the Heavenly South Peaks Meet, but from Sect Master Yi's youthful nature and uninhibited heroism, I'm afraid you have no interest in participating."
"Oh? What's the Heavenly South Peaks Meet? "
Yi Yun asked casually. Jing Yueping was taken aback by Yi Yun's question. The Myriad God Sect Master did not even know of the Heavenly South Peaks Meet?
What kind of sect master was he? Although the Calm Sea factions typically did not participate in the Heavenly South Peaks Meet, it was not to the extent of being completely unheard of.
Jing Yueping despised Yi Yun in her heart but she still explained, "The Heavenly South Peaks Meet is a grand gathering held by the Heavenly South Great World. There are many aspects to the gathering. First, it is a meeting between the Heavenly South Great World and the leaders of the surrounding major factions. They will discuss the Dao and discuss martial arts. Together, they will explore the profundities of the martial laws."
"Secondly, there will be a treasure exchange. Everyone will take what they need and exchange what they need."
"Apart from that, there is another highlight. It is a sparring competition between the young disciples of the various large sects. The victors will be chosen and they will be rewarded handsomely. At this segment, the sect masters of the various large factions will be invited to observe and judge the juniors."
After Jing Yueping finished her explanation, Yi Yun figured out the reason why Jing Yueping had sought him out after hearing the contents of the Heavenly South Peaks Meet.
She had originally planned on inviting him to be a judge at the Heavenly South Peaks Meet's martial arts competition. At the same time, he could participate in the treasure exchange and even preach the Dao in public.
To the Heavenly South Great World, the Calm Sea was still a little small. Although the Clear Lunar Island could participate in the Heavenly South Peaks Meet, they did not have the confidence to do so. Therefore, they wanted to rope in the Myriad God Ridge to make it stronger. If not, be it the treasure exchange or the Dao preaching and martial arts sparring, they might be outdone by the local sects of the Heavenly South.
However, when the other party came to Jade Emperor Palace with such a mindset and saw the real Myriad God Sect Master — who was also Yi Yun — he probably had a string of curses run through his heart.
How could such a young fellow participate in the Heavenly South Peaks Meet? How could he be a judge? And what Dao preaching and martial arts sparring? Wouldn't that make him a laughing stock?
It was no wonder Jing Yueping said that based on his' youthful nature and uninhibited heroism, he would probably not be interested in participating. '
With this in mind, Yi Yun looked at Jing Yueping's expression. He noticed that she had a solemn expression and did not look odd on the surface. However, Yi Yun knew that the old woman was probably cursing his ancestors in her heart. When he returned to the Clear Lunar Island, just Jing Yuesha alone would definitely treat today's meeting as a huge joke, much less the old woman. She would recount it vividly to the women of the Clear Lunar Island.
All sorts of disdain and ridicule would be inevitable. From Yi Yun's point of view, women were born with a gossipy heart. It was the same even for women who cultivated in martial arts. Furthermore, in a place like the Clear Lunar Island where no men could see, it was obvious how gossipy women with excess energy could be.
"I wonder how they will vilify me."
Yi Yun found it amusing.
At that moment, Jing Yueping clearly did not wish to stay any longer. She did not wish to waste time with a young punk. She said, "I've long heard that the Myriad God Ridge has a deep heritage and is powerful. Now that I've met you today, my horizons have truly been broadened. Sect Master Yi, you are truly a young hero. You are extraordinary. If there's nothing else, I'll bid you farewell. It was a worthwhile trip to witness Sect Master Yi's splendor."
After Jing Yueping finished her words calmly, she did not even have the mood to sit down and have a sip of tea. Yi Yun could obviously tell that her words of 'young hero' and 'sect master's splendor' were just sarcasm. However, he did not mind it. He said, "Fairy Ping, don't be in such a rush to leave. Didn't you come to me for the Heavenly South Peaks Meet? I'm rather interested. I think being a judge is quite fun. When does the Heavenly South Peaks Meet begin? I want to join in the fun. "
He could ignore the young disciples' martial tournament and Dao preaching and martial arts sparring, but the exchange meet left Yi Yun very tempted.
An exchange meet held by the Heavenly South Great World would probably be filled with divine treasures. It would be a dazzling sight.
