“Not admitted?”

Long Zhenchuan furrowed his brows slightly, his voice deepened, and the atmosphere grew somewhat tense, conveying an immense pressure.

“Uncle Long, deciding who to recruit and who to reject should be our Sect Master’s prerogative, shouldn’t it?” Jia Yulan stepped forward, slowly releasing her Qi Refinement sixth layer aura.

Shi Lei, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao, and other disciples also stood in the front, creating a stance that made it clear no one should interfere with the internal decisions of Misty Sect.

“Hahaha, Miss Jia is right, indeed, this is Sect Master Ye’s freedom.”

Long Zhenchuan burst into laughter.

He walked over to the table and placed a small wooden box the size of a palm down, saying amicably:

“Sect Master Ye, these fifty lower-grade spirit stones are my nephew’s entry fee.”

Saying so, Long Zhenchuan leaned close to Ye Feng and whispered, “Tian Xing’s background is not simple. Before he breaks through to Qi Refinement seventh layer, make sure not to let him leave a three-hundred-mile radius around Whitefloat City.”

After speaking, Long Zhenchuan patted Ye Feng’s shoulder and left with Long Yuxin, not looking back.

“That’s it?”

“I thought it was going to come to blows!”

“How could it come to blows? With the second Miss Jia joining their Sect, Long Zhenchuan wouldn’t dare to offend them, right?”

The spectators whispered among themselves.

Not far away.

The disciples from other Sects immediately left to report today’s events back to their Sects.

The second Miss Jia, Jia Yulan joining Misty Sect was already big news, but with even Long Zhenchuan making concessions, the matter became even more significant.

Of course, none of that was the main point.

The truly shocking fact was that Ye Feng had, after only one look, been able to guide Jia Yulan, advancing her cultivation of “Falling Blooms in Profusion” to an incredibly high stage.

This fact was undeniable.

In just a moment, Ye Feng found that the Sect Prestige Points had exceeded 70, and they were still increasing.

“Sect Master, I need to return home first to discuss my entry with my father. I’ll be back at the Sect tomorrow,” Jia Yulan bowed to Ye Feng.

“Do you know the way?”

“Of course, Disciple knows the way to Misty Peak in the east of the city.”

“Good, we’re looking forward to your arrival.”

Ye Feng bid farewell to Jia Yulan, Xia He, and Qiu Ju, then he sat back down with a relieved expression.

Just two more Registered Disciples, and the assessment period task would be completed. Ye Feng was really looking forward to the System’s beginner gift pack.

“Sect Master Ye, are you still accepting disciples? I can clean toilets and carry water.”

“Sect Master Ye, I can cook.”

“I can pour tea and water.”

“I specialize in washing undergarments!”

At that moment, various voices emerged from the spectators on the square, full of excitement, and a long line even started forming in front of the table.

Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.

It was like people were offering pillows to someone sleepy.

In such a long line of people, picking any two Registered Disciples who looked pleasant enough shouldn’t be difficult.

Therefore, Ye Feng spread open the Book of Names, looking expectantly at the young man at the front of the line.

However, before he could speak, Ye Feng heard a prompt from the System: “Entry motive impure, does not meet requirements,” which almost made him bite his tongue.

Disciples not recognized by the System, even if a hundred were recruited, would be of no use and would not complete the assessment period task.

And, after hearing the System’s prompt, Ye Feng also thought of many things.

“These people did not join earlier; their attitude only changed after seeing Long Zhenchuan’s reaction and Jia Yulan joining. They are all fence-sitters.”

“To put it bluntly, they might betray the Sect in the future like Xiao Fangu. Taking them in would be a hidden risk.”

Ye Feng sorted out his thoughts and understood that the System was also looking out for the foundation of the Sect.

So he looked at the first young man in line and said, “I’m sorry, but you do not meet the entry requirements of Misty Sect.”

“Why?”

The young man’s face changed dramatically, as if he were in mourning.

His original intention was to join the Misty Sect so he could see Jia Yulan every day, licking her boots relentlessly, possibly becoming the Jia family’s son-in-law one fine day.

However, Ye Feng had unexpectedly deprived him of the chance to be a sycophant, which was totally unexpected.

“There is no why, next,” Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively, looking at the next person.

“Hehe, out of my way!” The second person in line hurriedly pushed the one in front aside, looking at Ye Feng expectantly, about to say something.

“You aren’t suitable either, next.”

“What?”

In less than half the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ye Feng rejected the applications of over a hundred people.

Most of these people were rejected for “having impure motives for joining,” others were turned away for various reasons.

Finally, Ye Feng looked at the empty square with a speechless expression, thinking to himself, “It seems none of these people meet the criteria after all; recruiting disciples is indeed hard.”

“Sect Master Uncle, why didn’t you accept those people?”

At this moment, Li Jiaojiao asked.

Ye Feng coughed and thought to himself that he clearly couldn’t say those people were eliminated by the “System.”

After a moment of thought, Ye Feng explained earnestly, “Those people had impure motives for joining. Accepting them would only bring harm to our Misty Sect.”

“Oh!”

Li Jiaojiao’s face showed a sudden understanding.

Mo Ying looked at Ye Feng, nodding secretly to herself, “The Sect Master really has good judgement, able to discern at a glance those with impure intentions. It seems he wants to build a Sect that is truly unique and solid as iron.”

The group waited in the square for half the day.

In the end, they were so hungry they could eat a horse, yet they still failed to recruit the last two Registered Disciples.

…

Jia Family Mansion, Council Hall.

A middle-aged man with long black beard slightly plump, sat on the main seat discussing some matters with several elders.

This man was indeed Jia Yulan’s father, Jia Li’an.

“Dad, I’m back!”

Jia Yulan’s voice was loud.

“Ah, my precious daughter is back.”

Jia Li’an picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

But the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded before him and the several elders.

Jia Yulan was seen stepping on a two-meter wide pink bird, gliding gracefully through the grand entrance and into the Council Hall.

Upon a closer look, Jia Li’an realized that the bird was actually made up of countless overlapped pink petals, which looked very familiar.

“Pff!”

Jia Li’an was so shocked that he spat out his tea, stammering, “You… your ‘Falling Blossoms in Profusion’ has reached Major Achievement?”

“Just a bit shy of Major Achievement, but it should be very soon,” Jia Yulan said with a slightly smug smile. With a thought, the bird at her feet scattered into countless petals and quickly vanished, while she landed steadily on the ground.

“How did you manage this?”

Jia Li’an immediately put down his teacup, asking excitedly, while the several elders were also gaping in astonishment, wide enough to fit a fist.

They were all elders of the Jia Family, truly high-ranking members of the family, and they all knew about ‘Falling Blossoms in Profusion,’ the Second-Grade Spell passed down through the family.

Unfortunately, the spell was incomplete.

Even they could only achieve beginner level.

But now, a seventeen-year-old girl had managed to almost reach Major Achievement, how could they not be shocked?

“Sect Master Ye from Misty Sect taught me, and before he did, he only saw me cast it once,” Jia Yulan revealed the reason.

“If he could teach you to this extent after just one viewing, could this Sect Master Ye be a divine being?”

Jia Li’an and the several elders were visibly astonished.
