1639 The Flying Celestial Sect
Chu Yunfan thought for a moment, then said, “I would like the Yi clan to issue me an ident.i.ty certificate.”
Lord Yi frowned. He had not expected Chu Yunfan to make such a request. But before he could say anything, a voice suddenly came from outside the living room.
“You want my clan to issue you an ident.i.ty certificate? Are you planning to partic.i.p.ate in the Flying Celestials exam?”
It was a female voice. Her voice was pleasant to the ear, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her voice.
A figure arrived in the hall. It was a woman dressed in white. Her face was exquisite and graceful, and her skin was as fair as snow. She was like a high and mighty G.o.ddess.
The moment he saw the woman in white, Chu Yunfan’s hair stood on end. This was the keen intuition he had after fusing with the hou. This woman gave off a dangerous and powerful aura.
She was another terrifying existence that had surpa.s.sed the Abstract Stage. It was the same feeling as when he met Li Qianyuan.
“You’re here, Yunyao.” When Lord Yi saw the woman, he smiled. “Young Master Chu, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter, Yi Yunyao.”
“Greetings, miss,” Chu Yunfan said, “What makes you think I want to partic.i.p.ate?”
Yi Yunyao pouted and said, “It’s not a hard guess. Flying Celestial holds a recruitment event every five years. Countless young geniuses wish to join Flying Celestial, but they are one of the ten great sects of Grand Xia. Selected disciples have to go through a strict screening process. If someone like you with an unknown background is selected, you’ll be tested for at least twenty years.”
Yi Yunyao had hit the nail on the head. Chu Yunfan’s goal was the Flying Celestials. He had secretly infiltrated Grand Xia’s Cloud Prefecture for a long time, and his goal was the Flying Celestials.
Grand Xia had ten great sects, and the Flying Celestial Sect was one of them. They were extremely powerful and had countless experts. Their power was deeply rooted in Grand Xia.
There was no room for reconciliation between Chu Yunfan and Li Qianyuan. Chu Yunfan had to kill Li Quanyuan. And for now, he needed a strong backer—one that could compete with the forces behind Li Qianyuan.
It was because of this that Chu Yunfan chose the Flying Celestials. This sect had an extremely huge influence throughout Grand Xia. Even in the Imperial Capital, they had a huge say.
Although Chu Yunfan was confident that he would be able to kill Li Qianyuan sooner or later, it would take time. That was why he wanted Lord Yi to issue him an ident.i.ty certificate. With it, Chu Yunfan could be exempted from being investigated for 20 years.
“That’s right. That’s indeed my goal. Think you can help me?” Chu Yunfan said.
“Sure, we can supply you with a cert. In the future, you’ll be under my name,” Yi Yunyao said lightly, “You brought news of Uncle Tianxing to our clan. This small favor isn’t worth mentioning.”
“Thank you,” Chu Yunfan said, “I’ll come back tomorrow for the cert.” He immediately took his leave.
After watching Chu Yunfan leave, Lord Yi said, “We know nothing of this person’s background. If you send him to the exam in your name, won’t it be a burden to you?”
Yi Yunyao shook her head. “It’ll be fine. I’ve just been promoted to true disciple, and countless people want to curry favor with me. This is nothing. He helped bring back news of Uncle Tianxing to our clan. This is nothing.”
“You’re been promoted?”
Lord Yi stared at Yi Yunyao with his mouth agape. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. At the same time, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
Yi Yunyao was now a true disciple of the Flying Celestials. Every disciple of the sect held great records in Grand Xia, and they were equivalent to courtiers. Now that she was a true disciple, the benefits the Yi Castle would gain would be endless.
A true disciple was enough to lead an entire sect.
“That’s right. I just got promoted. Grandfather, the imperial court will soon reward me. Please receive it on my behalf,” said Yi Yunyao.
“No problem. Hahahaha, our clan is truly blessed!” Lord Yi laughed.
Every true disciple of the ten great sects was a talent that the imperial court valued. This was a great benefit to Yi Castle. The imperial court had always been lenient in rewarding clans that nurtured such talents.
“This is nothing. There are many true disciples in the Flying Celestials. I have to do better. Now that Li Qianyuan has been conferred the t.i.tle of marquis, he’s one step ahead of me. I have to speed up my training. I will earn a marquis position for our clan,” Yi Yunyao proclaimed.
When she mentioned Li Qianyuan, her eyes flashed with an unwillingness to admit defeat.
“What great ambition!” Lord Yi was almost beside himself with tears.
Although Yi Castle was considered a tyrant within a radius of a thousand miles, in reality, in all of Grand Xia, a faction like theirs was not even considered a country b.u.mpkin. If Yi Yunyao could become a marquis, their clan would rise with the tide and successfully advance into the circle of n.o.bility.
“If your late father knew about this, he would be very comforted,” Lord Yi said with a solemn expression as he wiped away his tears.
“But keep an eye on this Chu Yunfan. He’s no ordinary person. We have to find Tianxing through him,” Lord Yi said, “When he said that he was here to bring a letter, I didn’t believe it. But although handwriting can deceive people, divine will can’t. Tianxing probably has something he can’t tell us. That’s why he asked this person to bring a letter home. If we keep an eye on him, we’ll be able to find Tianxing.”
Yi Yunyao nodded. “That’s my thoughts too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t personally take action for a mere recruitment exam.”
Her pretty face tensed up slightly as she recalled them first meeting Chu Yunfan. He gave her a feeling that she couldn’t see through him. At least, she couldn’t see through him at a glance. This was a very rare situation.
At this moment, she had a strange feeling in her heart. ‘Interesting!’
