Chapter 74: Can These Benefits Be Given Away?

On the flying boat heading toward Green Cloud Sect, Lu Jing and Lin Ke’er’s faces were flushed with excitement as they looked at Ye Chen, their eyes filled with surprise and joy.

While they had been waiting in the courtyard, they overheard the servants say that Ye Chen had given his Green Cloud Token to an outsider, angering the patriarch. The consequences would undoubtedly be severe. Both women were startled at the time.

Lin Ke’er even considered running away, severing all ties with Ye Chen. But to their surprise, after only a short while, Ye Chen had become the direct disciple of a Peak Master in Green Cloud Sect. What a sudden and unbelievable turn of events.

Although the two women didn’t fully understand the value of being a Peak Master’s direct disciple, they were clear about how rare it was to have a master in the Foundation Establishment late stage. Thus, Lin Ke’er, who had hesitated earlier, immediately climbed aboard the flying boat without a second thought. She willingly became Ye Chen’s maid.

The flying boat soon arrived at Green Cloud Sect. It made a brief stop at the mountain gate, where the gate elder saw the red-robed Gu Yunyun with a cold expression and quickly bowed, “Greetings, Elder Gu!”

Gu Yunyun nodded slightly. “Have someone from the Internal Affairs Hall come to the Sword Peak later to handle the registration. I’ve taken on a disciple.”

Upon hearing this, the gate elder was taken aback. Gu Yunyun was actually accepting a disciple?

Gu Yunyun had always been indifferent to anything outside of swordsmanship. She had never taken in any apprentices, not even those with extraordinary spiritual roots. Now, for her to take in a disciple, how remarkable must this person be?

The gate elder didn’t dare delay and quickly agreed.

Gu Yunyun didn’t say much more. After the array opened, she steered the flying boat directly into the mountain gates.

Ye Chen, sitting upright on the flying boat, couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. He had heard that when entering the sect, one would have to handle the registration themselves. But after becoming a direct disciple, things had changed. Now, the Internal Affairs Hall came to take care of the procedures for him. The status of a Peak Master’s direct disciple was far more esteemed than Ye Chen had imagined.

Within Green Cloud Sect, the air was filled with ethereal energy. The mountains were like swords, and various spirit cranes and magical creatures flew gracefully through the skies, creating the atmosphere of a paradise for immortals. Even the spirit Qi was denser here than outside the sect. This left Ye Chen, Lu Jing, and Lin Ke’er in awe, their eyes wide open at the sight.

Soon, the flying boat landed on one of the mountain peaks.

“Here is Sword Peak. You will be the only disciple of Sword Peak. This is my cave residence. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you may come here to seek guidance from me. Your talent is poor, but since you insist on cultivating immortality, I will still grant you the status of a direct disciple. Whether you can maintain that status, or even break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, will depend on you.”

After storing the flying boat, Gu Yunyun looked at Ye Chen with indifferent eyes. To her, this sudden direct disciple wasn’t something to be happy about.

Firstly, she only cared about the sword path; she had no interest in anything else and had never even considered taking on disciples.

Secondly, Ye Chen’s talent was abysmal. A third-grade spiritual root. If you grabbed ten random loose cultivators from the roadside, five of them would be stronger than Ye Chen.

Finally, it was the women beside Ye Chen. He was bringing maidservants into Green Cloud Sect. Clearly, he wasn’t someone who sought harsh cultivation.

Poor talent combined with a lack of effort, indulging in pleasures instead. It was a recipe for failure. Thus, Gu Yunyun had no expectations for Ye Chen. She simply planned to give him the title of direct disciple and let him fend for himself. She figured it wouldn’t be long before Ye Chen left on his own.

As for Ye Chen, he did feel the coldness of his master’s attitude. But he didn’t care in the slightest. With the simp system, he could make even an iceberg warm up to him, let alone a cold, stunningly beautiful master with a figure like that.

He figured, “Let me see if I can turn you into a puddle of warmth, and then we’ll be fine.” So Ye Chen didn’t feel anxious at all.

Gu Yunyun nodded. “Soon, someone from the Internal Affairs Hall will come to register your identity and introduce you to everything in the sect. I’ll leave now.”

With that, Gu Yunyun walked off, her movements graceful and composed.

Ye Chen quickly bowed and watched his aloof master leave. As he observed her retreating figure, Ye Chen made another discovery. Her waist was unbelievably slender. From behind, he could clearly see the contours of her figure.

Lu Jing also had a stunning figure, but she couldn’t compare to that level. No wonder his master had a hundred times the feedback. Just her figure alone was probably half of that multiplier. But it seemed that his master really didn’t care much for him. She just left him here, barely bothering to say more than a few words.

Fortunately, the Internal Affairs Hall arrived quickly. A flying boat descended in front of Ye Chen and the two girls. Dozens of elders from the Internal Affairs Hall stepped off. Among them was even an elderly man with white hair and beard.

“Where is Elder Gu?”

The elderly man looked at Ye Chen and asked.

Ye Chen bowed. “Greetings, Elder. My master has gone to rest and asked me to wait here for the Internal Affairs Hall to handle the formalities.”
