79: Chapter 79 Ye Fan Becomes a Disciple

The atmosphere in the plaza outside the City Lord's mansion was eerily quiet.

The City Lord of Dan City fixed his gaze on Ye Fan, remaining silent for a long time.

Luo Yunkai was very calm.

He had already laid all the necessary groundwork.

Ye Fan's advantage lay not only in his own talent but also in the connections behind him—his two brothers, Prodigies who had joined forces to kill a Golden Core cultivator while still in the Qi Refining Stage!

As Luo Yunkai had expected, the City Lord of Dan City's scrutinizing gaze shifted to Xiao Tian and Su Xin, who stood beside Ye Fan as if to show their support.

Xiao Tian and Su Xin felt immense pressure, their shoulders slumping heavily.

The two immediately activated their Cultivation Technique, attempting to neutralize the increasingly heavy pressure.

A flash of admiration crossed the eyes of the City Lord of Dan City.

To still be able to activate their Cultivation Technique and resist while facing his pressure head-on—their talent and temperament were truly extraordinary.

Thinking that such youths were all...

The City Lord of Dan City couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of Luo Yunkai.

What on earth did he have to deserve this!

Luo Yunkai: Because I have a System!

"I will not take your son as my disciple." The City Lord of Dan City's voice was cold and absolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Ye Fan's heart sank, his mood plummeting to the bottom, and a trace of desolation flashed across his eyes.

However, he wasn't entirely disappointed; a Nascent Soul Ancestor and a Level 5 Alchemist were existences he had never dared to hope for.

The person hit harder was Chen Xuanfeng.

For a moment, he even thought that his grandfather had truly been moved and would let him go.

But reality told him that it was merely an illusion!

Chen Xuanfeng closed his eyes; the chin that was always held high now lowered, and a bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The faint, pretentious aura that had always surrounded him finally dissipated.

The other person deeply affected was, naturally, Chen Shuangfei.

Luo Yunkai reached out and pressed his hand against the back of the restless woman in his arms, gentle yet firm, the warmth of his palm transferring to her: "Trust me!"

Chen Shuangfei took a deep breath, desperately suppressing her surging anger.

The expressions of everyone were seen by the City Lord of Dan City.

He just watched with great interest.

Ye Fan's composure and calmness, Xiao Tian's arrogance and resentment, Su Xin's gloomy killing intent, his grandson's desperate resignation, his daughter's burning rage, and...

Luo Yunkai's clear understanding.

Their eyes met.

Luo Yunkai's experience might not match that of the City Lord of Dan City, but his eyes revealed a wisdom that saw through everything.

"Father-in-law is right; Xiaofan certainly cannot take you as his master. If he were to apprentice under you, the relationships would become chaotic."

Chen Shuangfei was confused in Luo Yunkai's arms; was that what her father meant?

Luo Yunkai soothingly rubbed the top of this silly woman's head, as if petting a pet cat.

"Shuangshuang, how about Xiaofan takes you as his master?"

Chen Shuangfei blinked in confusion, then blinked again, "Ah?"

Let her man's son, born with another woman, apprentice under her?

Chen Shuangfei instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Shuangshuang, I won't make you Face Xiaofan every day. I know it's hard for you to look at that Face that resembles mine."

Chen Shuangfei nodded.

Yes, she couldn't bear for her father to take the Spirit of the Wood Spirit and harm Ye Fan, who possessed a Face extremely similar to Yunkai's, but she was even less willing to Face that Face every day.

"You taking Xiaofan as your disciple is only nominal, just to put Father-in-law at ease. In the future, Xiaofan will naturally be taught by Father-in-law personally and will never get in your way!"

Chen Shuangfei frowned in deep thought, and a moment later, she hesitantly pulled away from Luo Yunkai's arms and turned to look at her father.

"Father, would you… be able to agree to this?"

The City Lord of Dan City snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and the scattered Pill Furnace returned to their places.

Ye Fan was uncontrollably pulled by a domineering spiritual energy and stood firmly at the central Pill Furnace facing the judge's bench.

This was previously Chen Xuanfeng's position.

And Chen Xuanfeng was gently sent to the main seat of the judge's bench.

On both sides of him, two seats rose from the ground; Xiao Tian and Su Xin seemed to be welded to the seats, unable to move.

Zhong Ziqi, from his original main seat on the judge's bench, had moved to the first seat on the left, and now, he was pushed directly to the second seat on the left.

But since the one doing all this was the Nascent Soul Ancestor, the City Lord of Dan City, and the only Level 5 Alchemist in the Southern Wilderness, Zhong Ziqi didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Before everyone realized what had happened, the City Lord of Dan City stood in the Void Realm with his hands behind his back.

"The Pill Viewing Assembly continues!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Generation Cultivators on the judge's bench immediately understood.

One person immediately stood up, "Congratulations to the City Lord of Dan City on gaining a grand-disciple!"

"Brother Xuanfeng, let's spar more in the future!"

"Alchemist Ye, would you happen to accept Alchemy commissions?"

This was the influence of a Level 5 Alchemist!

His single acknowledgment allowed Ye Fan and Chen Xuanfeng to enter the circle of Second Generation Cultivators, becoming figures who were even flattered.

Zhong Ziqi watched with an ugly expression as others scrambled to curry favor, feeling like a clown.

Regret filled his heart.

Why did he have to trip them up while guiding them just because he lost Face to Xiao Tian and Su Xin?

He should have been the guide!

The grandson of the City Lord of Dan City, the future successor of Dan City—they were actually both brothers of Xiao Tian and Su Xin!

Zhong Ziqi could no longer stay there and left silently.

His departure didn't even cause a ripple.

The others didn't even have the thought of mocking him.

Speeding out of the Formation, a woman's bell-like call seemed to ring in Zhong Ziqi's ears.

He frowned and glanced over, only to see a woman in a purple dress standing outside the Formation.

As her skirt swayed, she was full of charm.

Zhong Ziqi coldly withdrew his gaze, his figure instantly flying a thousand meters away, paying her no mind at all.

Rose was stunned.

"How could any man be able to refuse me?"

But watching Zhong Ziqi's receding figure, Rose pursed her lips, forced to believe the fact.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems I cannot be too reserved; otherwise, I won't even be able to see him."

"Luo Yunkai, I am determined to have you!"

Inside the Formation, Luo Yunkai felt his scalp tingle.

He thought it was because of the gazes from Chen Shuangfei and her father.

Especially after he shaved off his beard, the feeling became even more pronounced.

Chen Shuangfei's clingy enthusiasm and his father-in-law's icy gaze made him experience the extremes of ice and fire.

Luo Yunkai really didn't want to continue being tortured by the father and daughter, so he gritted his teeth and simply sent a telepathic message to Chen Shuangfei.

"Shuangshuang, I will send you back to go into seclusion for your Breakthrough."

Chen Shuangfei blinked rapidly, guiltily looking up at her father. Feeling a familiar Divine Sense sweep over, she immediately lowered her head, feeling like a thief, and sent a telepathic message.

"My father can also hear telepathic messages. While he hasn't reacted yet, let's leave quickly."

Luo Yunkai only felt a wave of pressure land heavily on him, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

He was innocent!

He really didn't mean it like that!

The pressure grew heavier, and Luo Yunkai grabbed Chen Shuangfei and fled toward the City Lord's mansion outside the Formation as if escaping.

The City Lord of Dan City raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "He has some ability."

But he still wasn't good enough for his daughter!

Forget it, just pretend his daughter is keeping a gigolo.

The one his daughter found was at least more reliable-looking than the gigolo Brother Jin's daughter found.

Luo Yunkai flew out of the Formation, felt the Nascent Soul pressure disappear, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally..."

A fragrant breeze struck, accompanied by an unfamiliar, coquettish voice: "Fellow Daoist Luo～"
