The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 40: Overthinking!

Ling Feng furrowed his brow. Due to being sent to the Duanmu Qingshan's branch, he faced isolation within the inner sect. The concept of a token of identity seemed improbable for him to possess.

However, he did possess a sect leader's token.

Ling Feng chose not to resort to physical confrontation with them, avoiding unnecessary trouble. With indifference, he retrieved the sect leader's token from his pocket, bringing it into the light. In a cold tone, he questioned, "Now, take a good look. Any idea what this is?"

These two outer sect disciples might not have seen a sect leader's token before, but they understood the significance of the "xian" character in the middle of the token.

Within the Wenxian Sect, only tokens representing elders and the sect leader could bear the character "xian". Ordinary disciples' tokens, on the other hand, would be inscribed with distinctions between inner and outer sects, usually crafted from inexpensive materials like bronze or black iron.

"This token..." The disciple on the right's eyelid twitched. "You... you're Ling Feng?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, stowing away the token. "Can I go in now?"

"Y-yes." The disciple on the right swallowed nervously, quickly pulling the one on the left aside. He awkwardly smiled at Ling Feng and said, "S-senior brother, please come in."

Ling Feng didn't pay them any further attention. Taking a deep breath, he unleashed his body technique and continued ascending the steps.

The disciple on the left, watching Ling Feng's figure, asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Zuo, what's up with Ling Feng? Since when did we have such a young elder in the inner sect?"

"You fool, that's the sect leader's token! Do you even know who Ling Feng is? Not long ago, he made the depository-guarding elder bow his head and even killed Senior Brother Xiao Qingfeng from the inner sect with a single strike. Strangely enough, the sect leader didn't pursue it! Just think about it – can we afford to offend someone of his caliber?"

Gulp. The outer disciple swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine. Sweat soaked his back as he said, "Senior Brother Zuo, thanks for pulling me out of that situation in time. Otherwise, I might have lost my life."

...

Past the entrance of the Wenxian Sect laid a massive square typically designated for the martial training of outer sect disciples. Surprisingly, today witnessed an influx of many inner sect disciples, and even the usually elusive direct disciples, who were seldom seen, suddenly appeared in this area.

"What day is it today? How come there are so many senior brothers from the inner sect all of a sudden?"

"Are you cultivating yourself into foolishness? How come you haven't heard? The young lady from the Cangqiong Sect has graced us with her presence at the Wenxian Sect. These inner sect senior brothers are naturally eager to rush up and greet her. If they manage to leave a good impression on Miss Yue, it could mean soaring success for them!"

"Oh my, then... we..."

"Don't even think about it. I heard Miss Yue came to find Senior Brother Yun Zheng, one of the direct disciples from the sect leader's branch. How could us outer sect disciples have a chance at such a good thing?"

"Ah, it's all fate!"

The outer sect disciples chatted animatedly, but they were soon driven to the edges and even expelled by groups of inner sect disciples. It was to prevent them from causing any disturbance during Miss Yue's visit.

This time, the one in charge of welcoming Miss Yue was not the sect leader or the peak leader of any particular peak. Instead, it was Yun Zheng, who had a previous encounter with Yue Yunlan.

This was also in line with the sect leader Lin Canglang's intention. Without the presence of the older generation, these young people could "shine" more brightly.

If Yun Zheng could truly win Yue Yunlan's favor, the entire Wenxian Sect would experience a dramatic change.

Soon enough, two elegantly poised young ladies were ushered in by the disciples responsible for guarding the mountain. Nearly every male disciple in attendance was left in utter astonishment.

Not to mention Miss Yue, even the little maid accompanying her was astonishingly gorgeous!

Yun Zheng and his group immediately went forward, bowing respectfully to the two young ladies. "I am Yun Zheng, I greet Miss Yue!"

"Wow!" Qiao Qiao blinked her bright eyes and exclaimed, "What's with all this grandeur? Are you here to besiege our miss?"

"Not at all, not at all." Yun Zheng quickly waved his hand. "Miss Qiao Qiao, you must be joking."

"Oh? You actually know me?" Qiao Qiao was slightly surprised, not expecting that the somewhat handsome man before her knew her.

"Uh..." Yun Zheng was slightly taken aback but quickly said, "Back when we were slaying the Sky-Swallowing Python in the Crimson Flame Mountain, I had the privilege of meeting both young ladies."

"Crimson Flame Mountain?" Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, pondering. "I don't remember. Miss, do you recall?"

Yue Yunlan remained silent, sensing a faint hint of recognition. She nodded lightly and chose not to speak further.

Yun Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, secretly pleased in his heart. It turned out that Miss Yue did remember him, which meant she must have come specifically to find him!

Relying on my handsome and suave appearance, coupled with rich skills in courting, even if you are a high-and-mighty young lady, you will still be captured effortlessly by this me

When that time comes, hehe....

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng almost drooled, but his acting skills were top-notch.

He maintained a charming demeanor on his face and smiled slightly, saying, "I've heard a lot about Miss Yue's extraordinary beauty, described as stunning and captivating. Today, we are fortunate to have Miss Yue's gracious presence. That's why my fellow brothers are eager to come over and see what a fairy looks like."

One couldn't help but acknowledge that Yun Zheng was truly eloquent. With just a casual remark, he praised Yue Yunlan for being a fairy.

However, Yue Yunlan had encountered numerous flatterers and eloquent individuals from a young age. Compared to Yun Zheng, there were many who excelled in both speech and talent.

Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a trace of disgust emerged towards Yun Zheng.

He must have thought that because we have crossed paths before, my visit to the Wenxian Sect this time is specifically to see him.

Overthinking!

Clever and sharp-witted, Qiao Qiao naturally perceived this connection. With a mischievous glint in her bright eyes, she scolded playfully, "Now that you've seen her, you all should disperse! Our young lady isn't here to find any of you!"

Yun Zheng's expression changed slightly, his face displaying a hint of embarrassment.

Is Yue Yunlan not here for me? Then who else could she be here to find?

Does the Wenxian Sect have any handsome young talents worthy of Yue Yunlan's attention?

Many disciples around couldn't help but secretly laugh. This time, Yun Zheng had truly embarrassed himself. What a spectacle!

He was overreaching

The outer sect disciples felt a surge of satisfaction. Those inner sect disciples, who often acted arrogantly and domineeringly, were now reduced to nothing in front of the young lady from the Cangqiong Sect. It served them right for their previous haughty behavior, making them look like nothing more than obedient dogs now!

"May I ask what brings Miss Yue here this time?" Yun Zheng forcefully suppressed the embarrassment on his face and spoke with a slightly awkward smile.

Yue Yunlan's rosy lips parted, about to express her intentions. However, at that moment, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure approaching from the mountain gate.

It was Ling Feng!

Ling Feng was wrapped in a furry animal hide, and oddly enough, he wore long pants on his lower body. The entire outfit appeared somewhat mismatched, and seeing this, Yue Yunlan couldn't help but suppress a smile. She wondered, "Why is he dressed like that?"

Clearly not anticipating that she would encounter Ling Feng here, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face.

This smile was as enchanting as a gentle spring breeze, intoxicating the heart and soul.

However, in Yun Zheng's eyes, this scene only fueled his anger, and in his mind echoed a single thought, "Who is that trash!"
