119: Young Master of Qingyang Sect
Lin Feng's expression was calm, his gaze sweeping over Yao'er's face, which held a hint of charm but couldn't hide her anxiety.
The surrounding low-level Cultivators held their breath, somewhat shocked by Yao'er's actions, and many had a faint sneer on their lips.
Which female Cultivator on Tian Du Street didn't want to climb the social ladder, but they also had to consider who the other party was.
This Senior was clearly a Core Formation grandmaster, so how could he fancy a woman from the pleasure district?
They were all waiting to see Yao'er get reprimanded and ignored.
However, Lin Feng merely gave a faint "Mm."
He didn't say anything more, turning around and walking towards the city's eastern exit.
The expressions on the faces of those who had been preparing to watch a show stiffened, then turned into deep shock and jealousy as they stared at Yao'er's retreating figure.
Yao'er herself was stunned, a surge of joy in her heart.
She quickly suppressed her wildly beating heart and hurried to follow, always maintaining a distance of half a body length behind Lin Feng.
The two, one in front and one behind, walked out of this bustling area under countless complex gazes.
The crowd on the street gradually thinned, and Lin Feng's steps were not fast, as if he was enjoying the local customs and traditions.
"Are you a local Cultivator of Kui Xing Island?" he asked casually.
Yao'er quickly replied, "Replying to Senior, Junior is not from Kui Xing Island, but has stayed here for many years. Junior's Sect is on a small island near Kui Xing Island."
"Oh? Then do you know what the difference is between the forces in the Inner Sea and the Outer Sea?"
Lin Feng's tone was still casual, as if he was just chatting.
Although Yao'er was somewhat surprised that this Senior had come from the Outer Sea, she dared not neglect him in the slightest and told him everything she knew.
"The biggest difference between the Inner Sea and the Outer Sea is that Star Palace reigns supreme. The entire Inner Sea is nominally under the jurisdiction of Star Palace."
"Star Palace's headquarters are in Tianxing City. It is said that an supreme Magic Treasure is hidden above that giant city, and above the city are the Immortal Caves of the Twin Saints, two Nascent Soul Late Stage grandmasters."
"Besides Tianxing City, the Inner Sea also has twelve Inner Star Islands and twenty-four Outer Star Islands, like stars surrounding the moon. Kui Xing Island is one of the twenty-four Outer Star Islands, located in a relatively remote area."
Yao'er's voice was clear and pleasant to the ear.
"Large islands similar to Kui Xing Island in this southwestern sea area include Weixing Island and Sangxing Island. In addition, there are also islands occupied by specific forces, such as Haiyuan Island, Kumen Island, which is exclusively occupied by Huangsha Sect, and some nameless small islands, such as Molake Island..."
Lin Feng listened quietly. This information corresponded one by one with the situation in his memory, giving him a more intuitive understanding of the current situation in the Chaotic Star Sea.
He nodded, indicating satisfaction.
Seeing that this Senior seemed to have finished asking his questions, Yao'er's heart once again became anxious.
She was afraid that he would dismiss her after asking, and then her hope of finding Yan Li would be completely shattered.
The anxiety in her heart overcame her fear, she bit her silver teeth and made a bold move.
Just as Lin Feng turned to leave, Yao'er quickly stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and hugged Lin Feng's arm from the side.
A faint orchid-like body fragrance wafted over, and an astonishing softness and warmth came from his arm, causing Lin Feng's mind to tremble involuntarily.
He paused, looking down.
He saw Yao'er looking up with her charming face, her eyes slightly red, full of pleading and determination.
"Senior!" Her voice trembled, "Could you... could you help Yao'er find someone!"
Lin Feng lightly coughed, but he didn't pull his arm away from her.
"You should explain the matter in detail."
Yao'er was overjoyed to see that this Senior did not show any disgust, as if she had grasped the last straw of hope.
She dared not delay and quickly recounted the entire process of Yan Li's disappearance.
"Senior Sister Yan Li and I are like sisters. Half a year ago, she was on duty on Tian Du Street, but after that day, she never came back. I asked all the sisters and familiar shopkeepers, and they all said they hadn't seen her leave."
"For the past half year, I have searched all over Kui Xing Island..."
After listening, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then interrupted her.
"Miss Yao'er, since your companion has been missing for half a year, it's highly likely she's no longer on this island."
His voice was calm, but it was like a basin of cold water poured over Yao'er's heart.
"Both of you are so beautiful. If you were targeted by some lustful high-level Cultivator, I'm afraid..."
"No! It won't happen!"
Yao'er's face instantly turned pale, she shook her head vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes.
Although they worked on Tian Du Street to curry favor with high-level Cultivators, she understood Yan Li. Even if she did find a backer, she would never disappear without a word.
There was only one possibility—something had happened to her!
"Senior!" Yao'er hugged him even tighter, almost pressing her entire body against him, "Please help Yao'er! As long as I can find Senior Sister, Yao'er... Yao'er is willing to follow Senior, to be a slave and a maid, without a second thought!"
Looking at her tear-streaked face, Lin Feng's heart stirred slightly.
"Since that's the case, Miss, follow me."
After he finished speaking, he led Yao'er directly towards the direction of the teleportation array they had come from.
...
Beside the teleportation array, the Star Palace Foundation Establishment Stage manager was standing somewhat leisurely. Seeing Lin Feng return with a beautiful female Cultivator behind him, his face immediately broke into a wide smile.
"Senior! Have you thought it through? Do you wish to join our Star Palace?" The manager greeted him with great joy.
If he could recommend a Core Formation Senior to join, he would also receive a considerable reward.
Lin Feng nodded, going along with the flow, "How long does it take to become a Guest Elder of Star Palace?"
The smile on the manager's face grew even wider, and he quickly replied, "Senior is joking. The matter of Guest Elder needs to be decided by the Elder of the Inner Star Island. However, with Senior's cultivation, joining our Star Palace Outer Sect is more than enough."
"If Senior just wants to become an Outer Sect Guest Elder first, you just need to go to Wanming Island and register with Executive Ling. If Senior trusts Junior, Junior can first send a voice transmission talisman to inform Senior, and then you can get the Outer Sect token from Executive Ling!"
Wanming Island, Executive Ling?
Lin Feng's heart stirred. This was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
He had only intended to use Star Palace's channels to inquire about information, but now it seemed that joining Star Palace was also a good option.
He cupped his hands to the manager, "Then I'll trouble the manager. I have admired Star Palace for a long time, and I will definitely go to find Executive Ling in the future. Please inform her, manager."
"No problem, no problem! We'll be on the same side from now on!"
The manager was overjoyed, and his attitude changed from respectful to much more enthusiastic.
"May I ask Senior's name?"
"I am Qinglian Hermit. I have been in seclusion in the Outer Sea and just came out not long ago." Lin Feng casually made up a name.
"So it's Qinglian Hermit! Senior's demeanor is extraordinary, and you will surely make a great name for yourself in our Chaotic Star Sea!" The manager flattered.
Lin Feng returned the bow, glanced at Yao'er, who was full of anxiety beside him, and changed the subject.
"Manager, my friend, there's one more thing I'd like to ask. My female companion's Senior Sister disappeared inexplicably on Kui Xing Island half a year ago. I wonder if any important figures have visited this place in the past half year?"
Upon hearing this, the manager's gaze swept over Yao'er's beautiful face, then looked at Lin Feng, showing a knowing expression.
He pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice.
"Brother Lin, to be honest, our Kui Xing Island is a remote small island in the Inner Sea. Usually, let alone a Nascent Soul Senior, even a Core Formation fellow Cultivator is rarely seen in a year."
"As for any special figures... Half a year ago, there really was one."
The manager glanced at Yao'er, seeing her face full of confusion, clearly unaware.
He understood and explained, "That person was the Young Master of Qingyang Sect."
"Qingyang Sect?" Yao'er's face was indeed blank.
The manager leaned closer, lowering his voice even further, with a hint of apprehension.
"The Sect Leader of Qingyang Sect is the famous Old Demon Sanyang, who is a Nascent Soul Middle Stage grandmaster! This Young Master is his Personal Disciple."
He cautiously looked around before continuing:
"It's just that... that Young Master's talent is mediocre, and his cultivation is not high, but... but he is extremely lustful. It is said that he Cultivates a special Cultivation Technique and often abducts beautiful Loose Cultivator women from various places to extract their primal yin as his Cultivation Cauldron."
