Chapter 99: Arrogant at first but respectful later

Ye Ling stared coldly at Miss Cao Zhen. Now that he was in Fengqiao Town and had not walked out of the wilds of the western suburbs, Cao Zhen was so overbearing and aggressive. Ye Ling had to sigh that the daughter of a great cultivation family was indeed spoiled and regarded Fengqiao Town as their Cao family's territory!

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving!"

Ye Ling said coldly. Ye Ling would not do any of the rude requests made by Miss Cao.

Just when Ye Ling turned around and was about to step into the teleportation array, Cao Zhen suddenly flashed and blocked Ye Ling's way with her Qi training stage great perfection.

Miss Cao said in a deep voice: "Want to leave? It's not that easy! Anyone who is targeted by our Yuxu Sect, no one can leave this place easily without inspection!"

As she spoke, two Yuxu Sect foundation-building elders came out of the Wanbao Pavilion, followed by several Qi training disciples, all staring at Ye Ling with unfriendly eyes, forming a situation of encirclement.

Ye Ling was slightly startled, thinking that the truth had been revealed. Why would Yuxu Sect arrange so many people? Could it be that they were waiting for him?

But when Ye Ling looked carefully without making any noise, he saw that these Yuxu Sect elders and disciples were all doing their job and were indifferent. Ye Ling was relieved immediately.

It turned out that outside the west gate of Fengqiao Town that night, most of the Yuxu Sect disciples and Han family servants were killed by Ye Ling's two fourth-level spirit beasts. Miss Cao made a presumptuous guess and mistakenly thought that it was done by a foundation-building elder of Nansheng Sect.

When she went back to ask the leader of Yuxu Sect and the head of Cao family, and then gathered the people of Han family to Nansheng Sect to ask for punishment, she was not surprised.

Nansheng Sect leader Tang Xiong refused to admit it. For this reason, Yuxu Sect, Cao, and Han families turned against Nansheng Sect and have been fighting openly and secretly.

Yuxu Sect specially sent several elders and disciples who survived that day to wait in the West Street of Fangshi every day, hoping to find clues about the monk wearing a bamboo hat and a blue shirt. They almost never met anyone they felt suspicious. The elders and disciples on duty in Yuxu Sect would point and ask questions, even the strong foundation builders were no exception.

Today, Miss Cao Zhen and her group were patrolling and ran into Ye Ling who was about to return to Yaogu Sect. His back looked familiar. By intuition, she suddenly remembered the blue-shirted monk, but Ye Ling's cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi training seemed to be too far behind that of the blue-shirted monk in cultivation and strength, so she couldn't make up her mind. But Cao Zhen hated Ye Ling for not cooperating and was determined not to let him go until the truth was revealed.

An elder of the Yuxu Sect who was in the middle stage of foundation building looked at Ye Ling with a frown, shook his head and sighed: "Niece Cao, the jade token of the elite disciple of Yaogu Sect is hanging on his waist, and his cultivation is only the seventh level of Qi training. He is definitely not the blue-shirted cultivator that night."

The more Cao Zhen looked at him, the more similar he was. He pondered and said: "I think his back looks very similar to that person! Even the way he walks is somewhat similar! Who knows if he is really a disciple of Yaogu Sect? Besides, as long as he puts on a hidden cultivation talisman, his cultivation can be hidden. Elder, please take a closer look to see if he has hidden his cultivation and is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"

Ye Ling was surrounded by these people from the Yuxu Sect. His expression was calm and indifferent, just waiting for the patrolling cultivators from Fengqiao Town to pass by.

In this public, even if Ye Ling had the strength and the opportunity to escape the siege of the two Yuxu Sect elders and several late Qi training disciples, this would confirm the matter and make them more suspicious. If Ye Ling had to use his trump card in the process of breaking through the siege, he would be exposed, which would be bad.

Ye Ling sneered: "This is Fengqiao Town! We haven't left the city yet, what dare you do? I am the eldest disciple of Yaogu Sect, Ye Ling! It is true, make way for me! Why are you surrounding me? It's inexplicable!"

"The eldest disciple of Yaogu Sect? This..."

The two elders of Yuxu Sect were stunned. They also heard recently that Yaogu Sect has appointed a seventh-level Qi training disciple with extremely high alchemy talent as the eldest disciple of the sect. Could it be him?

Miss Cao Zhen was also stunned for a long time, looking left and right, and her heart was shaken. Those who can be appointed as the eldest disciple by the master of Yaogu Sect must be in the Qi training stage. It is impossible for him to be a blue-shirted cultivator who killed dozens of disciples of Yuxu Sect and Han's Sect with a wave of his hand.

Cao Zhen finally calmed down and forced a smile. She was the eldest sister of Yuxu Sect, and she and Ye Ling were both senior disciples of the sect, with the same status, so Cao Zhen changed her previous arrogance and became much gentler: "Oh? Really? Fellow Daoist Ye, please take off the jade pendant and let us see it. If it is really the legendary Yaogu Senior Disciple Ye Ling, I am willing to apologize."

Ye Ling casually took off the jade pendant and gave it to them. The two elders of Yuxu Sect and Miss Cao came over and scanned it with their spiritual sense. They saw that on the leaf-shaped sect jade pendant, there were a few words engraved, "Ye Ling, Senior Disciple of Yaogu Sect", flashing with the unique mark of Yaogu Sect, which was true.

The expressions of the two elders of Yuxu Sect immediately became complicated, and they smiled awkwardly at Ye Ling: "Haha, he is indeed the eldest disciple of Yao Valley! Hehe, we are also doing routine work and accidentally offended nephew Ye. Please don't tell your sect's leader Zhao when you go back, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two sects."

"Well, for the sake of the old man, Nephew Ye Xian must give us some face. Come on, give Nephew Ye Xian two thousand spiritual stones as an apology. Oh, Nephew Cao, don't you think so? Apologize to Nephew Ye Xian quickly."

Although Miss Cao Zhencao was very reluctant in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face until now. It was all because she had misjudged the person again. Cao Zhen could only pretend to have a sweet smile on her face, and returned Ye Ling's jade sign in her hands, deeply apologizing and saying: "I'm sorry, my little girl, that I can't see Mount Tai, but I still look at Ye Ling." Brother, please calm down and ignore the younger girl's fault. Hehe, I heard that your sect is going to send elite disciples to Donglingze for training. Our Yuxu sect is also setting off in the next few days. We will still be there by then. Please take care of me, Brother Ye.”

Ye Ling shunned the donkey and accepted the two thousand spiritual stones from the elder of Yuxu Sect without any courtesy. He waved his hand coolly: "Easy to say, easy to say! I still have the responsibility of being a teacher, so I'll take my leave."

"Nephew Ye Xian, walk slowly."

"Brother Ye, see you in Donglingze!"

Cao Zhen smiled sweetly, and watched Ye Ling disappear behind the screen of the teleportation array. Cao Zhen's pretty face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily: "Who is it? He accepted Elder Xiao's carelessly. Two thousand spirit stones were obviously given to him in vain, but he has the nerve to take them!"

Elder Xiao, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, sighed: "Well, I heard that this boy is extremely talented in alchemy. He was promoted from a novice alchemist to an alchemist in just one month! He is very likely to become the number one alchemist around our Fengqiao Town in the future. He is a master of alchemy. He has to be on good terms with such a prodigy and cannot offend him! There will inevitably be rare spiritual herbs that need to be refined by him."
