As Daoist Tianxing finished speaking, Ghost Face and Lin Bingxuan walked in from the main entrance of the great hall, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
However, the more captivating figure was not Ghost Face walking in the front, but Lin Bingxuan a short distance behind him.
Her flawless beauty and incredibly graceful figure were so captivating that her every smile and frown gave a refreshing feeling akin to a spring breeze!
After the two of them introduced themselves, a young man who appeared remarkably handso walked to stand behind the elder seated on Daoist Tianxing's left, whispering sothing in his ear.
Simultaneously, the young man gazed at Lin Bingxuan with a look full of undisguised desire.
Lin Bingxuan's brows couldn't help but furrow tightly; a flash of disgust passed through her eyes, but given the location, she hesitated to react.
At the sa ti, although the elders seed to focus on Ghost Face, they had actually perked up their ears, focusing all their attention on the young man.
The young man's Daoist na was Yun You, and the seated elder before him was Celestial Punishnt Daoist, the second in the hierarchy of the Kunlun Sect.
In reality, Yun You was the illegitimate son of Celestial Punishnt Daoist. Since Yun You's mother wasn't officially married, the two often addressed each other as uncle and nephew.
But anyone who stayed in the Kunlun Sect for a while would understand the relationship between them.
Because Yun You, an outstanding individual of the younger generation, never shied away from his identity, he even seed proud of being an illegitimate child, eager to declare it to everyone!
This was due to the status of Celestial Punishnt Daoist. Since Sect Leader Zhenren Tianxing was often in seclusion, only appearing once or twice a year, all major sect affairs were handed over to Celestial Punishnt Daoist to manage.
On the surface, Celestial Punishnt Daoist was just an ordinary elder with no official title as acting elder, but in the absence of Daoist Tianxing, he was undoubtedly in charge!
"Father..." Yun You sidled up to Celestial Punishnt Daoist, but as soon as he spoke, he felt an uncomfortable pressure. Realizing his mistake, he quickly corrected himself, saying, "Celestial Punishnt Master!"
This scene almost made the other elders burst into laughter, secretly comnting on how Celestial Punishnt Daoist was putting on an act, acting as if sothing well-known was a major secret.
Feeling the pressure lift, Yun You whispered, "That woman..."
Before he finished, he felt a pushing force, causing him to involuntarily step back, but he believed his father, Celestial Punishnt Daoist, already understood his aning.
After sending Yun You off, Celestial Punishnt Daoist sighed, as in the past when his son coveted other won, he might have turned a blind eye, but in his heart, he despised those ordinary won.
Celestial Punishnt Daoist often instilled in Yun You the idea that one should never let temporary desires cause lifelong regret, and even if one must, proper precautions should be taken.
Whenever this happened, Yun You would nod as if in agreent, but he actually felt disinterested, thinking his father was just bitter about not getting what he wanted.
Little did he know, his birth was due to a lapse in judgnt by a drunken Celestial Punishnt Daoist.
The ordinary woman he had a one-night affair with knew Celestial Punishnt Daoist was unlikely to marry her, and rashly informing him could endanger the child.
Therefore, she secretly born Yun You on her own and delivered him to the gates of Kunlun Mountain on a snowy night without leaving a note or anything.
But Yun You recognized him imdiately, because the bundle wrapping him had the sa pattern as the underpants Celestial Punishnt Daoist wore that drunken night!
From this point forward, Celestial Punishnt Daoist, a fad philanderer, abruptly ceased his escapades. Yet Yun You's mother was nowhere to be found, leaving a constant heartache over the years.
The guilt towards Yun You's mother made Celestial Punishnt Daoist pour compensation onto Yun You, inadvertently cultivating a son with an insatiable attraction to beautiful won.
In response, Celestial Punishnt Daoist could only silently curse his son's lack of progress, reminding himself of his own past romantic escapades, realizing that mories do indeed fade with ti.
As for Yun You's recent suggestion, after so pondering, Celestial Punishnt Daoist thought it might not entirely be a bad thing.
If that girl, Lin Bingxuan, could help Yun You focus entirely on improving his abilities, he was confident that she'd beco the Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect!
This line of thought was not unrelated to Sect Leader Zhenren Tianxing's long-standing delegation of responsibilities, which had given him a growing sense that he was the true Sect Leader.
...
"Brothers, who would be willing to accompany my old friend on this journey?" Daoist Tianxing asked, glancing around.
At the sa ti, Ghost Face offered his terms of exchange just in ti: "Once I have the Five Elents Crystal, I can share so of my research results with you."
Although Ghost Face's condition seed like trying to get sothing for nothing, it sparked discussion among the Kunlun Sect elders in the hall.
Yet the greater impact was yet to co, as Ghost Face then offered to give the Kunlun Sect three magical pills that could significantly boost one's strength in a short ti, making the crowd restless.
Logically, a sect as grand as Kunlun should not be easily tempted by this, but Ghost Face claid his pills could more than double a user's strength!
Despite Ghost Face's explanation that the side effects would be significant, the elders were reassured when they heard their foundations would remain unhard, turning their attention to Daoist Tianxing.
They wished to verify Ghost Face's claims and gauge the Sect Leader's stance.
While Daoist Tianxing's words had already shown a slight inclination towards Ghost Face, the elders were hesitant to speak out without a clear signal.
However, before Daoist Tianxing could nod, Celestial Punishnt Daoist suddenly stood up from his chair, volunteering, "Brother, I am willing to accompany this friend on his journey!"
Daoist Tianxing nodded with satisfaction, saying to Ghost Face, "This is my brother, Celestial Punishnt Daoist. Besides , he is the most powerful in the Kunlun Sect. With him accompanying you, I am at ease!"
"Brother, you're too kind. Our Kunlun Sect is full of talent, and when it cos to strength, my fellow disciples are no less capable than I am," Celestial Punishnt Daoist said, bowing with a humble posture and modest tone.
"You are too modest, junior brother!" Daoist Tianxing laughed. "In that case, I'll trouble you with this journey!"
Within a few words, the matter was settled, leaving the elders sowhat unprepared for the pace. Typically, such important matters would not be resolved without prolonged discussions, but today it happened so quickly.
It almost seed as if Daoist Tianxing and Celestial Punishnt Daoist had prearranged it.
Ghost Face, anwhile, could only smile wryly at Daoist Tianxing's high efficiency, feeling that this old friend had indeed changed over the years, as if he had beco a completely different person!
