Chapter 838: I’m Coming, Xiao Clan!
“Senior Brother Yue Kun is right. An elder of a third-rate sect might not even be able to become an inner disciple in our Star Sect!
“At the end of the day, the outsiders are too ignorant…”
As soon as the youth surnamed Yue finished speaking, he received the support of the person beside him. His tone was filled with pride.
Ye Chen did not care.
Fu Haishan’s lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words in the end. He knew that these people were Fu Qiuchan’s fellow disciples. As a disciple of the Star Sect, it was normal for them to look down on small sects and even rogue cultivators.
Thinking to this point, he immediately changed the topic, “Oh right, Chan’er, why did you come back suddenly this time? You didn’t let your father and I be mentally prepared.”
It could be said that once one entered a supreme sect like the three sects and four groups, it was equivalent to cutting off their mortal ties and wholeheartedly cultivating. Therefore, they could understand why Fu Qiuchan had only returned two or three times in the past ten years.
“Grandpa!”
Fu Qiuchan slightly opened her red lips and said, “This time, the Xiao clan’s patriarch of the 12 ancient clans is celebrating his 200th birthday and has sent out invitations everywhere. Therefore, the sect ordered us to represent the sect to celebrate his birthday.”
The three sects and four groups were supreme sects in the Kunlun Ruins, and below them were the 12 ancient clans. These ancient clans had been pa.s.sed down for more than 1,000 years. Although their foundation alone could not be compared to the three sects and four groups, their strength could not be underestimated.
“The Xiao clan’s patriarch is celebrating his birthday?”
Hearing that, Fu Haishan and the rest were shocked, “When? Do we send people there?”
What the few of them did not notice was that a gleam flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes when he heard the words’ Xiao clan ‘.
He clearly remembered that when the Xiao clan’s patriarch entered the world last time, he was forced to self-destruct his physical body. Only his divine soul escaped. How long had it been since then, and the other party had already recovered his physical body?
“Three days later!”
Fu Qiuchan did not hide anything and said, “As for our Fu family, you guys don’t have to partic.i.p.ate. This time, I pa.s.sed by Qingyang City and thought that it had been a long time since I returned home, so I stopped halfway and will depart on the same day.”
Fu Haishan was disappointed.
At this time, Fu Qiuchan turned to look at Fu Qingqing, whose face was full of reluctance, and said with a smile, “Right, Qingqing, go and pack up. Come with me after dinner. When the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration is over, you will follow me to the Star Sect to cultivate!”
“Sister, I can join the Star Sect too?”
Fu Qingqing’s face was full of disbelief. Entering the three sects and four groups had always been her dream, but she knew that there was a gap between her apt.i.tude and Fu Qiuchan’s. She did not expect that Fu Qiuchan would take the initiative to mention it now.
“Chan’er, aren’t the requirements for the Star Sect’s disciples extremely strict? Why are they…” Fu Haishan and Fu Xiaochen were equally surprised.
“Old Master Fu, you’ve no idea!”
At this time, Yue Kun, the white-clothed youth beside Fu Qiuchan, faintly smiled, “Junior Sister Qiuchan has displayed extraordinary talent in our Star Sect’s inner disciple compet.i.tion. She has obtained the first place and is favored by the elders. As long as she steps into the peak venerable stage, she can hold the apprentices.h.i.+p ceremony and be promoted to a true disciple!”
As he said that, he glanced at Ye Chen as if he was challenging him, “In our Star Sect, there are seven true disciples. The minimum requirement is to be a peak martial venerable. We can recruit one or two outsiders as disciples.”
“Great, that’s great!”
Fu Haishan and Fu Xiaochen were extremely excited. They turned around and said to Fu Qingqing, who was already stunned, “Silly girl, what are you waiting for? Go and pack up!”
Fu Qingqing snapped back to her senses and went to pack her bags happily.
Ye Chen turned a blind eye to Yue Kun’s provocative gaze. Yue Kun was only a peak martial venerable. In his eyes, he was no different from an ant.
What surprised him was that a peak martial venerable could only be a true disciple in the Star Sect. If this was in the secular world, they would be a lord of a region.
Thinking to this point, he raised his eyes and looked at Fu Qiuchan, “Ms. Fu, I heard you are going to the Xiao clan to celebrate the patriarch’s birthday. May I go with you?”
“Why do you want to go?” Fu Qiuchan frowned slightly.
Ye Chen said extremely calmly, “I’m not familiar with the Kunlun Ruins. I knew nothing and wanted to experience that!”
Yue Kun, who was standing beside Fu Qiuchan, was about to reject him subconsciously, but Fu Haishan beat him to it and said, “Qiuchan, since Sage Ye is interested, you should bring him along so that you guys can take care of each other on the way.”
“Take care?
“I wonder who would have to take care of who.”
Yue Kun said in a weird tone. He always had a trace of enmity toward Ye Chen as he had always treated Fu Qiuchan as his exclusive property. He would never let any strange man get close to her.
Fu Qiuchan’s eyes flickered a few times as if she was thinking. She then looked at Ye Chen after a few seconds, “It’s possible to bring you along, but you have to listen to our orders along the way. You can’t act recklessly. Otherwise, we won’t be able to protect you if something goes wrong.”
The reason why she agreed to it was because she felt that Ye Chen had an unknown background. She would be worried if she let him stay in the Fu residence.
‘Listen to your orders?’
Ye Chen was stunned, “Sure!”
Yue Kun could not insist anymore after seeing that things were already set in stone. However, he secretly made up his mind to kick Ye Chen out once they arrived at the Xiao clan.
…
After a sumptuous banquet, Fu Qiuchan walked out of the Fu residence with Fu Haishan and the rest.
Fu Xiaochen reminded her worriedly, “Qingqing, you must listen to your sister on the way. It’s the same even when you’re at the Star Sect.”
“Got it, father, grandpa!” Fu Qingqing stuck out her tongue, and excitement filled her eyes. She was looking forward to the world outside.
Yue Kun whistled. Under the shocked gazes of Fu Haishan and the rest, a huge demon beast over ten meters in size flapped its wings and flew over. It looked like a bat, but its eyes could discern things.
Above them was a small house that looked like a palace. It was extremely s.p.a.cious and could accommodate 20 people.
Yue Kun seemed to be showing off as he said, “This is the transportation tool that our Star Sect specially raised—the Green Bat Beast. Its combat strength is equivalent to a martial venerable!”
He glanced at Ye Chen secretly after saying that. He tried to see any expression on Ye Chen’s face. However, to his disappointment, Ye Chen remained calm throughout.
When Fu Haishan and the rest heard that, they became even more respectful towards the Star Sect. Such a demonic beast was enough to destroy the entire Qingyang City, yet it was willing to be raised and tamed by the Star Sect.
“Let’s go!”
After saying goodbye to Fu Haishan and the rest, Fu Qiuchan grabbed Fu Qingqing and leaped onto the Green Bat Beast. The rest followed suit. Ye Chen was the last to go.
Under the gaze of everyone in Qingyang City, the Green Bat Beast spread its wings and flew towards the southeast like a giant beast that covered the sky. It was incomparably stable, and in the blink of an eye, it flew 300 meters away.
Fu Qingqing had never experienced such a scene before. She exclaimed while sitting next to Ye Chen and held his arm tightly.
Ye Chen shook his head while forcing a smile. However, his eyes were flickering, “I’m coming, Xiao clan…
