Chapter 1869 - 1897: Su Yourong
"Junior Brother Feng Ye, hello..." Those disciples, upon seeing Ye Feng, were exceedingly courteous in greeting him, knowing well that although Ye Feng had only joined the Green Lotus Sword Sect for just over a month.
However, Ye Feng had already become a prominent figure within the Green Lotus Sword Sect, and there was no one who didn’t know him.
Moreover, more than ninety percent of the disciples had benefited from Ye Feng’s breakthrough in the Sword Pool, where his Sword Intent had advanced significantly, causing many to also break through upon sensing the worldly phenomenon created by his Sword Intent after the breakthrough.
And these disciples had all benefited from Ye Feng’s breakthroughs, achieving advances in their own Sword Intent through his progress.
Therefore, everyone was exceedingly enthusiastic upon seeing Ye Feng, except for one female disciple who was different. That woman, dressed in a long blue gauze dress and adorned with a jade hairpin, had a flawlessly exquisite face that nonetheless gave off an aura of aloofness.
Long Yu awkwardly introduced Ye Feng, "Feng Ye, let me introduce you. This is Senior Sister Su Yourong, one of the five Daoist Lord disciples of our Green Lotus Sword Sect. Senior Sister Su, this time, let’s have Feng Ye join us in our mission!"
At this moment, Su Yourong finally turned around and sized up Ye Feng, a look of disdain appearing in her eyes.
"Mid-stage Proof of Dao?" Su Yourong asked, her tone openly scornful, clearly looking down on Ye Feng. And Ye Feng, having nothing to hide, nodded and replied, "Correct..."
Su Yourong sneered, "I heard you stayed in the Green Lotus Pond for a month. When you entered, you were at the initial stage of Proof of Dao. I didn’t expect that after a month, you only broke through to the mid-stage. Wasn’t it said that you’re the number one genius of our Green Lotus Sword Sect? Yet, you only advanced one level in the Green Lotus Pond in a month? How do you qualify?"
Hearing Su Yourong’s words, everyone felt quite awkward, not expecting her to be so blunt.
However, Ye Feng was not the least bit displeased, completely unfazed, thinking that such a small person like Su Yourong couldn’t possibly understand his abilities. Long Yu quickly said, "Senior Sister, what you said isn’t entirely true. After all, everyone has their own weaknesses. Although Junior Brother Feng Ye’s progress is a bit slow, at under a hundred years old, he’s still at the Proof of Dao stage.
Furthermore, his understanding of the Sword Dao is indeed unmatched in our Green Lotus Sword Sect. Even the Sect Master hasn’t reached the Divine Sword level. If his cultivation speed were as terrifying as his comprehension, that would be a bit too monstrous.
Junior Brother Feng Ye truly embodies Divine Sword Intent, his combat power surpassing even Super Three Dao Venerates. Amongst us, except for Senior Sister Su Yourong, none of us can match him in battle, so having Feng Ye join us is absolutely worthwhile!"
The surrounding disciples also nodded in agreement, "That’s right, Long Yu is right. Feng Ye is a Dao Venerate as well, and aside from you, Senior Sister Su, we are no match for him. Having Feng Ye join indeed enhances our combat strength!"
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister, please allow him to join!" The disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect urged.
Seeing everyone agree that Ye Feng was not her match, a smile finally appeared on Su Yourong’s face, "Well, since you all say so, I won’t make things difficult for him. He can join, but under one condition!"
Long Yu quickly asked, "Senior Sister, what’s the condition? Just say it, and as long as we can do it, we’ll agree!"
Su Yourong nodded, "It’s simple. If Feng Ye wants to join, you all must remember that I am your Senior Sister; I am the strongest in this team. I am the leader of this team, so you must listen to me!"
"Of course. Senior Sister, your strength is the greatest, and we have no objections to you leading the team." Long Yu and the others agreed.
Ye Feng said nothing, as he saw no need to argue with a woman about who was stronger.
Seeing everyone agree, Su Yourong nodded in satisfaction, "Good, then it’s settled!"
Then, everyone went to the mission registration area together, registered and picked up the mission, and then left the Green Lotus Sword Sect.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Su Yourong took out a Flying Shuttle, a low-grade Holy Level one.
Everyone was quite envious upon seeing Su Yourong’s Flying Shuttle since Holy Level Shuttles are extremely rare.
Typically, only those in the Sanctum Ascension realm possess Holy Level Shuttles. Everyone was excited to see Su Yourong’s Flying Shuttle, "As expected of our Senior Sister, having a low-grade Holy Level Shuttle while ours are merely Dao Level!"
"Indeed, I didn’t expect Senior Sister Su Yourong who hasn’t even reached the Saint Realm yet, to own a Holy Level Shuttle. It’s truly enviable!" The crowd looked on with envy at Su Yourong’s low-grade Holy Level Shuttle.
Su Yourong, full of pride, declared, "Naturally. Do you not stop to consider who I am? I am the most favored student under Elder Qingyu, and my Master is quite wealthy, unlike Elder Qingguang who has nothing and dares not even recruit disciples..." Then Su Yourong inadvertently glanced aside.
Yet Ye Feng remained calm, showing no visible disturbance on his face.
Usually, Elder Qingguang does not wield real power within the Green Lotus Sword Sect, having no means to acquire advantages.
So, everyone assumes Elder Qingguang is impoverished, but they do not know that Elder Qingguang is not as simple as he appears.
Just from the "Sword Classic" gifted to Ye Feng, he already knew Elder Qingguang was exceptional. Otherwise, why would even the Sect Master of the Green Lotus Sword Sect respectfully call him Senior Brother Qingguang?
A short while later, everyone boarded the Flying Shuttle, waiting for Su Yourong to initiate it.
But just then, Su Yourong turned to Ye Feng, "A Holy Level Shuttle requires Holy Crystals to operate at full speed. Do you have any Holy Crystals on you? If so, give me some, at least contribute a little effort."
Upon hearing Su Yourong’s words, Ye Feng didn’t bother arguing with her and instead took three Holy Crystals from his Execution and handed them to Su Yourong, "Here."
Seeing Ye Feng’s Holy Crystals, Su Yourong was a bit surprised, not expecting him to actually have Holy Crystals.
