309: Bai Yunzi's guess

She suddenly leaned forward and planted a heavy kiss on Yao Delong's face,

leaving a bright red lip print. Her voice held an unprecedented sweetness and attachment:

"Delong, you are so good to me!"

At this moment, she was no longer the charming and effortlessly poised Liu Rumei,

but rather like a little woman who had received a cherished gift.

Yao Delong smiled slightly and pinched her smooth, delicate cheek:

"Refine it well, Cultivate well. Your path is still long."

Watching Liu Rumei fondle the golden crow setting sun,

feeling the abundant 295 points of yin-yang value in his body, Yao Delong was quite satisfied with tonight's "harvest."

Dragon Head Peak.

Leng Yuekui had finished discussing the Luoxia Peak attack with Sect Head White Cloud Master,

and now brought up another critical matter concerning Luoxia Peak's future.

"Sect Head Senior Brother, regarding the position of Luoxia Peak's Chief Disciple, I nominate Yao Delong."

Leng Yuekui was direct, her voice clear and carrying an air of absolute certainty.

White Cloud Master sat on the high platform, unsurprised by the news.

The Yin Yang Sect has Eleven Peaks, and each peak establishes a Chief Disciple. Their status is revered,

second only to the Peak Lord, and they are the natural successor to the future Peak Lord.

Those who are sufficiently outstanding even qualify to contend for the position of future Sect Head.

For example, Heavenly Sword Peak's Chief Disciple is the Sword Dao Prodigy famous throughout the Eastern Region—Dao Changge.

"Martial Nephew Yao possesses exceptional talent and profound Luck. In a short time, he advanced from Golden Core Perfection to Mid Nascent Soul Stage,

and even achieved great merit in the Burial God Abyss by exposing the Demon trace and protecting his fellow Disciples.

His Heart-Nature, strength, and achievements make him truly deserving of the position of Luoxia Peak's Chief Disciple."

White Cloud Master stroked his long beard and slowly nodded, indicating his approval.

However, he changed the subject: "Nevertheless, the Sect rules cannot be abandoned.

To become a peak's Chief Disciple, one must first enter the True Disciple ranks of our Yin Yang Sect.

Although Martial Nephew Yao's cultivation improved quickly, due to... past reasons, he has not yet participated in the True Disciple assessment."

Upon mentioning "past reasons," a faint ripple of emotion crossed Leng Yuekui's cool brow.

She recalled Yao Delong's years as a "Trash."

At that time, although Yao Delong was her Personal Disciple, due to his low cultivation, the Sect only gave him the status of a Utility Disciple.

Only after she was promoted to Peak Lord did she forcibly raise his status to Outer Sect Disciple,

which drew dissatisfaction and criticism from several other Peak Lords.

The Cultivation World is precisely this realistic: without strength, no one acknowledges you.

"If we directly promote him to Chief Disciple, I fear it will be difficult to convince the masses, and the other Peak Lords will certainly have objections."

White Cloud Master looked at Leng Yuekui, "In my opinion, it would be better to first let Martial Nephew Yao participate in the True Disciple assessment.

Once he passes the assessment and rightfully becomes a True Disciple,

we can then choose an auspicious day to hold the ceremony for his coronation as Chief Disciple.

This way, we can silence the critics and save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Leng Yuekui was silent for a moment. Her original intention was to fight for her Disciple directly, but White Cloud Master's words were reasonable.

Given the strength Yao Delong currently displayed, passing the True Disciple assessment would be effortless,

and there was indeed no need to force special treatment for him, giving others an excuse to criticize and making them look guilty.

"Senior Brother is absolutely right." Leng Yuekui nodded slightly,

"We shall follow Senior Brother's arrangement. After Delong passes the True Disciple assessment, we will proceed with the Chief Disciple coronation ceremony."

"Good." White Cloud Master nodded.

With the main business settled, Leng Yuekui's figure flickered, ready to depart.

"Junior Sister, wait."

White Cloud Master stopped her, his brow slightly furrowed, his face showing deep anxiety,

"Regarding the matter of the Demon Sect's hidden agent... I always feel uneasy about it.

Thunder Marsh Peak Lord Junior Brother Lei Zhenzi once said upon his return that when Moyang Sect's Law Enforcement Hall Master Liang Wufeng intervened to stop him,

the timing was handled too precisely, occurring almost simultaneously with Luo Tianying's appearance.

He suspects... that within the Moyang Sect, there are also people from the Demon Sect lurking!"

Leng Yuekui paused, and the cold Qi around her slightly solidified.

White Cloud Master continued: "The Demon Region's structure is vastly different from our Eastern Region.

The three major Dynasties of the Eastern Region—Hegemonic Summer, Great Yan, and Xuan Ye—constantly clash with each other.

The four top Immortal Sects: our Yin Yang Sect, the Moyang Sect, the Great Yan Dynasty's Myriad Sword Valley,

and the Xuan Ye Dynasty's Nine Nether Sect, also engage in open strife and veiled struggles for resources and territory.

But in the Demon Region... the Heavenly Demon Sect dominates alone! The other Sects are merely vassals, like ants."

His eyes flashed with sharp light, carrying deep apprehension:

"This time, the hidden agent's infiltration and the wood evil qi sneak attack were aimed directly at our Sect's newly promoted Void Refining Peak Lord!

If there is also a Demon trace within the Moyang Sect... this is definitely not an isolated incident!

I fear... the Heavenly Demon Sect is no longer satisfied with the Demon Region. Its claws,

have quietly extended toward our Hegemonic Summer Dynasty, intending to annex it?!"

This conjecture made the atmosphere of the entire great hall heavy and solemn!

The morning sun began to show, and Luoxia Peak was enveloped in a thin mist.

Yao Delong stepped out of his Immortal Cave door, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

His Mid Nascent Soul Stage aura was smooth and restrained, and his steps carried an invisible majesty.

Just as he reached the courtyard, he saw a small white figure listlessly lying on the corner rockery. It was Little White Flood Dragon Qiong Shuang.

However, her current state was quite strange. Around her two originally lively large eyes,

she conspicuously sported two heavy dark circles, looking exactly like she had been punched twice.

The entire Flood Dragon was listless, lacking even her usual enthusiasm for rushing up to Yao Delong and licking him to beg for treasures.

"Qiong Shuang?" Yao Delong called out, slightly surprised.

Little White Flood Dragon Qiong Shuang heard the sound and, like a startled rabbit, suddenly shivered.

She quickly lifted her eyelids and glanced at Yao Delong. That look was full of complexity—shame,

panic, and a hint of... guilt?

Immediately, she turned into a flash of white light with a "swoosh,"

plunging headlong into the dense Spiritual Plant patch beside her, disappearing from sight.

"Why is this little guy acting so strange today?"

Yao Delong rubbed his chin, feeling puzzled.

How could he know that last night, Qiong Shuang had been resting coiled up on the rafters of Lin Qingxue's room.

As a result, the intense Dual Cultivation session between Yao Delong and Lin Qingxue meant to "consolidate cultivation,"

made too much noise, forcibly waking up the sleeping Little White Flood Dragon.

Ignorant and newly awakened, she opened her eyes and saw the thrilling, vivid, and sensual scene below!

As a Yao Beast with noble Bloodline, destined to transform into human form in the future,

although Qiong Shuang had not experienced human affairs, her spiritual intelligence was already developed, and she instinctively understood what was happening.

That shock made her want to look yet dare not look,

she was so embarrassed her scales nearly burst open, yet she couldn't help but sneak a few glances.

The result was that after Yao Delong left, her mind was filled all night with those lingering images,

tossing and turning, unable to calm her mind, which resulted in her developing two massive dark circles.

Seeing the "culprit" now, she was naturally both ashamed and scared, wanting only to hide far away.

Although Yao Delong found it strange, he had more important things to attend to right now,

and did not investigate further, assuming the little guy was just throwing another tantrum.

He shook his head, his figure flickered, turning into a streak of light, and flew straight toward Luoxia Peak's main hall.
