Everything happened too suddenly, catching everyone off guard. When Ye Feng heard Jiang Shiji's words, he finally felt a weight lift from his heart. His gaze inadvertently flicked over to Bai Chengfeng's face.
At this moment, his master had a twitch at the corner of his mouth, but he felt somewhat reassured internally, though there was still a hint of pain in his heart.
"Brat, I really invested a lot in this matter. This Azure Condensing Grass is the only one I have, and now it has ended up benefiting that old fox Jiang Shiji!"
Ye Feng couldn't hear Bai Chengfeng's inner thoughts, but from his helpless expression, he could guess a little.
The Dragon Tiger Sect's Outer Sect Disciples were at the foot of the mountain; only Inner Sect Disciples could enter the mountainside! The promotion ceremony didn't take long; it was just a simple selection by the Three Grand Hall Masters. Ye Feng noticed that those entering the Blazing Hall had mediocre cultivation levels, mostly at the Martial Realm, and there wasn't a single disciple from the Origin Martial Realm.
From this point, it was evident that the Blazing Hall was indeed weaker in terms of strength compared to the White Tiger and Azure Dragon Halls.
"Brother Ye, I really can't understand why you joined the White Tiger Hall." On the way back, Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow kept asking Ye Feng this question.
Ye Feng didn't elaborate much and directly led the two to the Scripture Pavilion! At this time, Bai Chengfeng had already returned to the Scripture Pavilion. It seemed he anticipated Ye Feng would come here and dismissed everyone from the Scripture Pavilion, including Yang Han.
"Brat, you're here!" Bai Chengfeng pretended to have an unfriendly expression when he saw Ye Feng and the others enter the Scripture Pavilion, speaking in a rather gloomy tone.
Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow felt quite uneasy. Would this elder of the Scripture Pavilion and Hall Master of Blazing Hall directly attack Ye Feng or vent his anger on them?
Ye Feng forced a smile and helplessly spread his hands, slowly saying, "Isn't it because of your plan, Master? Your disciples must hate me now. I don't need to see or hear to know what they'll say; most likely they'll curse me for being ungrateful and not knowing how to repay kindness. Sigh, I wonder if this plan of yours can actually succeed?"
Bai Chengfeng rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "Do you think your master is so incompetent? I wouldn't undertake something without absolute confidence. Of course, it will depend on you later; if you do well, perhaps this plan can be completed ahead of schedule. Now stop overthinking things; what do you mean by bringing these two kids here?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow trembled slightly. Especially Blue Shadow, who felt even more anxious and quietly tugged at Zhang Yihang's sleeve. The latter maintained a good mindset and inferred from their conversation that Ye Feng's actions were definitely sanctioned by Bai Chengfeng!
"Master, aren't you just pretending to be confused while knowing full well what’s going on? You asked what I could do by bringing them here. Of course, it’s because you are formidable, Master. We have offended the Li Family, and there’s no one we can turn to in the Dragon Tiger Sect. So, we can only come to you," Ye Feng said with a grin, trying to flatter Bai Chengfeng.
Bai Chengfeng rolled his eyes at him and replied discontentedly, "I'm not running a charity here. Besides, their cultivation levels are too low; they aren't suited for our Blazing Hall."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yihang exchanged glances with Blue Shadow, and a sense of disappointment washed over them.
"Forget it, Brother Ye. Lan Ying'er and I should leave the Dragon Tiger Sect. If we can't provoke them, we can at least avoid them. It’s just that if we don’t see you again, I hope you take care of yourself. Lan Ying'er, let’s go now," Zhang Yihang said to Ye Feng before pulling Blue Shadow and turning to leave the Scripture Pavilion.
Blue Shadow hurriedly added, "Brother Ye, I will miss you."
Ye Feng felt anxious at this moment and grabbed Zhang Yihang's arm, urgently saying to Bai Chengfeng, "Master, you can't do this! You can't just watch them walk into danger. Once they leave the Dragon Tiger Sect, it would be like sheep entering a tiger's den. Li Xingqi will definitely not let them off."
Bai Chengfeng waved his hand helplessly and chuckled, "I only said they aren't suitable for staying in the Blazing Hall. Did I say I wouldn't take them in? Young people these days are really too impatient; this isn't good for your cultivation. No wonder you've been stuck in the Martial Realm for so long."
"Master, does that mean you agree?" Ye Feng exclaimed joyfully without thinking.
"Well, if I didn't agree, wouldn't you be going against me? If things don't go well at White Tiger Hall and my plans fail because of you two, wouldn't that be a waste of my efforts?" Bai Chengfeng replied with a sigh.
Ye Feng smiled sheepishly; truthfully, if Bai Chengfeng had refused outright, he might have used that as leverage to threaten him. Fortunately, Bai Chengfeng agreed readily.
"You two will stay in the Scripture Pavilion from now on. Let Yang Han guide your cultivation. If all goes well, you should be able to enter the Origin Martial Realm. As for what comes next, it will depend on yourselves. Remember, in the Dragon Tiger Sect, if you want to avoid being bullied, your own strength is your best defense. For outsiders, just say you're my disciples," Bai Chengfeng said without hesitation as he accepted the two disciples.
"Disciple pays respects to Master!"
Zhang Yihang was quite perceptive; despite Blue Shadow sometimes appearing foolish beside him, he could clearly distinguish right from wrong when it mattered most.
As he knelt down, he reached for Blue Shadow.
At that moment, Blue Shadow also realized what was happening and hurriedly knelt down, saying with some trepidation, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"
"Alright, alright, no need for this pretense. I have already spoken with Yang Han before you arrived. You two can go out now; Yang Han is outside and will arrange everything. I still have a few matters to discuss with this Brat," Bai Chengfeng waved his hand and said.
"Understood, Master. Disciple takes leave!"
After saying this, Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow both left the Scripture Pavilion.
"Do you know the real reason I had you join White Tiger Hall?" After the two left, Bai Chengfeng quietly asked.
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and replied, "I only know that Master has his own plans, but I don't know exactly what they are. Brother Yang mentioned that he would secretly find a way to inform me about what to do specifically; it seems Master has something for me to cooperate with, working together from the inside and outside!"
Bai Chengfeng nodded in approval and said, "That's right. You also know the current situation of our Dragon Tiger Sect. The Jiang Family and Li Family have significant power and are gradually starting to break away from our control. However, although Li Xingqi is somewhat cunning, his temperament is impulsive and not a major concern. My biggest worry is Jiang Shiji; this person is like a smiling tiger; you never know what he is truly thinking. He is very shrewd, which is why I want you to join White Tiger Hall and preferably investigate secretly who exactly is in Jiang Shiji's White Tiger Hall."
"Who exactly? Forgive me for my ignorance; I do not understand what Master means by this."
Bai Chengfeng pondered for a moment and said softly, "Jiang Shiji's White Tiger Hall is dominated by him, especially in the inner chamber where ordinary people cannot enter. I have always suspected that there are cultivators in White Tiger Hall who are not from our Dragon Tiger Sect. Although it's just a suspicion, the feeling is very strong. Over the years, Jiang Shiji's cultivation has rapidly improved, and many disciples of White Tiger Hall have also advanced quickly in their cultivation. I find it hard to believe that the disciples of White Tiger Hall are genuinely that talented and can improve their strength so quickly without any tricks involved!"
Ye Feng immediately understood and exclaimed, "Does Master suspect that there is an Alchemist hidden within White Tiger Hall?"
Bai Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask, "Why did you think it was an Alchemist?"
Ye Feng replied with a smile, "The pills of Dragon Tiger Sect have always been managed by you all. Since you say that the disciples of White Tiger Hall are not that talented and their cultivation does not increase so quickly, it might be due to forcibly enhancing their abilities with pills. However, since the pills are managed by you all, they naturally wouldn't be able to obtain them. So it’s very likely that there is an Alchemist within White Tiger Hall continuously refining pills for them. After all, anyone can find ways to obtain herbs!"
Bai Chengfeng laughed heartily and said, "As expected of my disciple, your observation and deduction skills are impressive. That's right, I believe so, but you will need to investigate further. Also, in ten days, the Nine Sects Trial will begin, during which the three major halls will select disciples to participate. I plan to have you and Ruo Xue join, while the sect leader will choose the remaining two candidates."
"Master, I don't quite understand. You want me to participate in the Nine Sects Trial and also represent White Tiger Hall. Isn't that contradictory? Wouldn't the Jiang Family realize that my joining White Tiger Hall is definitely your intention? Wouldn't that ruin the plan?" Ye Feng asked, confused.
"I've already considered this. When the time comes, I'll have Yang Han help you with disguise; his skills in that area are quite remarkable. However, within these ten days, you must uncover the secrets within White Tiger Hall and ideally gain Jiang Shiji's trust. Although he allowed you to join White Tiger Hall because of Azure Grass, he must still harbor some doubts. You should display your cultivation at around the sixth level of Origin Martial Realm; that should be enough to get their attention. Once you gain their trust, your future actions will be much easier."
Ye Feng understood and nodded. Suddenly, he thought about the Ethereal Clan matter and considered whether he should mention it to his master. After thinking it over, he decided it was better not to bring it up; the disadvantages outweighed the benefits!
After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, he did not see Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow; perhaps Yang Han was busy arranging accommodations and other matters for them.
"Alchemist? Heh, that's interesting!" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
"I feel that the possibility of an Alchemist is low. You must understand that such a special profession generally does not easily attach itself to a particular Sect unless there is something to gain. Your White Tiger Hall doesn't have anything worth an Alchemist's ambition. An Alchemist, even a first-grade one, has their own pride and will strive to improve their rank. They would never settle for Dragon Tiger Sect," Xuan Lao's voice suddenly came through.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and cautiously asked, "So what does Xuan Lao mean?"
"I suspect it has something to do with that fellow from the Ethereal Clan!"
