516: Clown Li Beichen

However, when he saw Lin Feng's performance at the recruitment assembly, he realized that he might have underestimated this young man.

Lin Feng's Aptitude and strength were exceptionally outstanding, even making him, as a father, feel a bit jealous.

He knew that although his daughter Murong Xue had good Aptitude, compared to Lin Feng, there was still a significant gap.

He hoped that Lin Feng could become Murong Xue's helper in the Nine Stars Sect, assisting her in establishing herself within the Sect.

At the banquet, Murong Feng was extremely enthusiastic towards Lin Feng, constantly toasting him and asking about his performance at the recruitment assembly.

Lin Feng answered each question, humble yet confident.

During the banquet, Murong Feng specifically approached Lin Feng, looked at him, and said very respectfully, "Young Friend Lin, this old man truly had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I apologize for any previous slights, and I hope Young Friend Lin will not take offense."

Lin Feng did not take Murong Feng's change in attitude to heart. He smiled and said, "Family Head Murong, you overstate it. As a Junior, I am new here, and I am grateful for the Murong Family's care."

Hearing this, Murong Feng was even more pleased. He felt that Lin Feng was not only outstanding in Aptitude but also humble in character, and would surely achieve great things in the future.

He patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said, "Young Friend Lin, this old man only has one daughter, Xue'er. She has been pampered since childhood and has never left the Family. I hope you can look after her more in the Nine Stars Sect."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "Family Head Murong, rest assured, this Junior will do his best to take care of Miss Murong."

Hearing this, Murong Feng finally relaxed. He raised his wine glass and said, "Come, Young Friend Lin, this old man toasts you. I wish you and Xue'er a bright future in the Nine Stars Sect."

Lin Feng also raised his wine glass, clinked it with Murong Feng's, and drank it all.

After the banquet, Lin Feng and Murong Xue returned to the guesthouse together.

At night, the moonlight outside the guesthouse was like water. Lin Feng stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky, his mind filled with thoughts.

He had been in the Immortal Realm for some time and had gained some understanding of the Cultivation system and power distribution here.

Although the Nine Stars Sect was not a major Sect, here, he might be able to find opportunities to improve himself.

Because Murong Xue was extremely beautiful, she stood out among the female Disciples of the Nine Stars Sect, so many male Disciples in the guesthouse began to actively approach her, wanting to get acquainted.

But Murong Xue had a cold personality, and she always politely refused those male Disciples who came to chat, never getting too entangled with them.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew that although Murong Xue appeared cold on the outside, she was actually very kind-hearted, just not good at expressing herself.

Just then, Murong Xue walked in from outside the door. Seeing Lin Feng standing by the window lost in thought, she softly asked, "Lin Feng, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Feng came back to his senses and smiled, saying, "Nothing, just thinking about our upcoming Cultivation path."

Hearing this, Murong Xue also fell into contemplation. Although they had successfully joined the Nine Stars Sect, they still needed to put in more effort to establish themselves here.

"Lin Feng, do you think we will encounter any difficulties in the Nine Stars Sect in the future?" Murong Xue suddenly asked.

Lin Feng heard this and said nothing, but instead comforted her, "Miss Murong, don't worry. We will cross the bridge when we come to it. Our priority now should be to Cultivate well."

Murong Xue nodded upon hearing this, covering her mouth and chuckling softly, "Young Master Lin, you're right. We should Cultivate diligently and strive to achieve something in the Nine Stars Sect."

The two exchanged a smile, then returned to their respective rooms to Cultivate.

During this period, a male Disciple who claimed to have connections in the Nine Stars Sect had been pestering Murong Xue, trying to get closer to her.

This male Disciple was named Li Beichen. He claimed to be a distant relative of an Elder of the Nine Stars Sect and often used this title to swagger and deceive within the Sect.

Seeing Murong Xue's beauty, he wanted to win her over and often showed her attention, but Murong Xue ignored him.

Li Beichen felt a surge of anger when Murong Xue was cold towards him, but he dared not act on it. After all, Murong Xue and Lin Feng were both newly admitted probationary Disciples with outstanding Aptitude, and he dared not easily offend them.

So, he began to spread rumors about Murong Xue and Lin Feng behind their backs, attempting to damage their image within the Sect.

But these rumors were quickly learned by Lin Feng and Murong Xue, who paid no mind to them. After all, a clear conscience fears no false accusations, and they believed their strength and performance would prove everything.

Within the Nine Stars Sect, there were many Disciples and fierce competition. To establish oneself here, one needed not only excellent Aptitude and strength but also good interpersonal relationships.

The two did not take Li Beichen's rumors seriously. Lin Feng wanted to get rid of this kid, but it was inconvenient to act while they were still in the guesthouse.

Several Combination Stage Cultivatorss of the Nine Stars Sect were still in the process of recruiting Disciples, and it would be some time before it ended.

At that time, they would take Lin Feng and other probationary Disciples who met the Sect's recruitment conditions back to the Sect to officially begin their journey of Cultivation.

Lin Feng and Murong Xue both knew that this was just the beginning of their Cultivation path, and the real challenges were yet to come.

Seeing that Lin Feng and Murong Xue were unmoved by his rumors, Li Beichen became even more annoyed, and he began to plot how to secretly deal with the two.

However, he did not know that his small actions had already been noticed by Lin Feng and Murong Xue.

Although Lin Feng and Murong Xue outwardly paid no attention, they had already made their calculations.

During this time, Lin Feng had learned some background information about Li Beichen through a well-informed Disciple named Zhao Yu.

It turned out that Li Beichen's claim of being a distant relative of a Nine Stars Sect Elder was completely baseless.

He was just a Disciple with decent Aptitude who, like them, entered the Nine Stars Sect through normal channels.

Lin Feng also learned through Zhao Yu that Li Beichen was narrow-minded, vindictive, and skilled at playing dirty tricks behind people's backs.

At the same time, the Nine Stars Sect's identity for Disciples was also related to their Cultivation and Aptitude.

Generally, according to strength, Disciples below the Golden Core Realm were Utility Disciples in the Nine Stars Sect.

And Disciples whose Cultivation reached the Golden Core Nascent Soul Realm could become Outer Sect Disciples of the Sect. When a Sect Disciple's Cultivation reached the Soul Transformation Void Refining Realm, they could become Inner Sect Disciples of the Sect.

Those who recruited them were all in the Body Integration Realm, and those in the Body Integration and Mahayana Realm were True Disciples in the Sect.

In addition to these, the Sect also had some deacons and some deacon Elders. These positions were held by Disciples whose Cultivation had no hope of further advancement.
