Another consideration

The cold wind howled, and heavy snow fluttered down!

Within the small courtyard, one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was waiting for Zhong Qing to make a decision.

At this moment, whether it was the Twelve Demon Generals, or True Disciples like Lin Feng, Su Ye, and Du Hao, or even Feng Buqun and his son Phoenix Yingtian, an astonishingly consistent thought emerged in all of them.

"Our Master's (Master's) boundless charm has truly reached an unparalleled level, capable of making such a powerful woman fall for him at first sight."

On the other hand, Phoenix Aotian showed no surprise at all.

After all, his Master had almost charmed even him back then; compared to that, this was just a small scene.

At this moment, Zhong Qing sat quietly on the long bench, looking at Ye Ji kneeling on the ground.

He had a bit of a headache!

When the other party spoke earlier, he had used his Heavenly Eye to observe her, knowing that what she said was not false at all.

He also knew early on that she was attracted by the Extreme Charm Body he possessed.

This further deepened his understanding of the domineering effects of the Extreme Charm Body.

He had never expected the dominance of the Extreme Charm Body to be so terrifying.

Even when his Physique was concealed, it could still exert such a terrifying attraction on a Saint-Grade woman.

Just seeing him once made her fall hopelessly in love with him.

This Physique was so powerful it was almost unreasonable.

After a moment of contemplation, he said to Ye Ji, "It's not impossible to let you stay!"

"But you must not keep saying 'Young Master Zhong' here and 'Young Master Zhong' there."

"I'm letting you stay simply because you're quite honest, not for any other reason."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing this, Ye Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded frantically like a chick.

"I know!"

"To be able to follow Young Master is already an immense blessing for Ye Ji; how could Ye Ji dare to ask for anything more?"

"Thank you, Young Master, for taking me in!"

At this moment, she looked exactly like a homeless girl who had suddenly found a spiritual sanctuary.

Overjoyed, her entire spirit and energy instantly soared to their peak, and she appeared bright and captivating.

She even looked at Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao with kindness and gratitude.

A loss may turn out to be a gain.

If not for the two of them, she would at most only be able to admire Young Master from afar in this life.

But now, being able to follow Young Master, she truly felt that at this moment, the whole world had been lit up.

This scene left Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao completely bewildered.

One moment, she looked as if she wanted to dismember them.

The next moment, she was expressing gratitude towards them.

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; the ancients truly did not deceive me!

The outcome presented a joyous situation for everyone.

"Alright, get up, and close the door on your way out."

Zhong Qing glanced at her, giving a meaningful instruction.

The reason Zhong Qing kept this woman by his side was not truly because he saw her as honest, nor was it because of her beauty; he had other calculations and plans in mind.

And for Zhong Qing's first command, Ye Ji quickly settled into her role.

In fact, deep down, she felt a little joy and excitement.

She closed the door, moved in front of Zhong Qing, and respectfully said, "Young Master, I'll pour you some tea!"

As she spoke, she nimbly refilled Zhong Qing's cup.

Not only Zhong Qing's, but also Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei's, Vice-Dean Ning Hao's, the Twelve Demon Generals', and others' cups were nimbly refilled.

She clearly regarded herself as a maidservant.

This instantly made Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao feel overwhelmed with flattery.

How could they be worthy of being personally served by a Saint-Grade expert?

Recalling how she had previously repelled the Inheritance Academy's Half-Saint Divine Weapon with a single finger, suppressing the entire Inheritance Academy, and then seeing her now as a maidservant serving tea and water, they felt this matter was too Xuanhuan.

It is said that Heavenly Dao is unpredictable, and worldly affairs are impermanent and ever-changing.

But Ye Ji's before and after transformation made them feel as if the entire world had become somewhat illusory.

This was truly too incredible.

But such an incredible thing was playing out right before their eyes.

This could only prove one thing.

That is, the current Phoenix Feather Sect Revered Master, Senior Zhong Qing, was too extraordinary.

Despite their inner shock, the two did not forget their mission.

After taking a sip, Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei said to Zhong Qing, "Senior, the most important reason for our visit is to inquire whether the Prodigy of your sect who ascended the Heavenly Dao Rankings is willing to accompany us to Fengtian Hall for cultivation?"

"If so, when can we depart?"

Originally, he had wanted to use Ye Ji's matter to curry favor with Zhong Qing, and then seize the opportunity to bring up this matter.

But who could have known such a major unforeseen event would occur midway?

So he immediately got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

As these words came out, Zhong Qing pondered, "Although I am their Revered Master, I do not wish to interfere with their choices."

"For this matter, I must first ask for their opinions before I can give you a reply!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Feng and Su Ye exchanged glances, their eyes moving.

"Revered Master, can we two go to Fengtian Hall?"

Lin Feng and Su Ye had been in the Chaotic Land for quite some time now.

They had long heard of the great name of Fengtian Hall.

It is said that top Prodigies are always proud and ambitious.

The two of them naturally also possessed their own ambition and pride.

The two of them were among the first Disciples to join Zhong Qing's sect.

They were determined to follow in their Master's footsteps throughout their lives.

But for so many years, they had almost always lived under the protection of their Master's wings.

A young eagle can only spread its wings and soar after leaving the protection of the adult eagle.

Moreover, the two also very much wanted to make a name for themselves on the stage of Central State, relying on themselves, and meet the Prodigies of the world.

Therefore, upon learning that they could enter Fengtian Hall, and enter the strongest Domain in Central State, the two were instantly moved.

Facing their request, Zhong Qing naturally had no reason to refuse.

Although he could continue to provide growth resources for these Disciples now.

But to achieve greater accomplishments and have a broader future, the best choice was for them to go out and explore on their own, forging their own unique path.

He then said, "This is the path you have chosen, and I, as your Master, naturally will not obstruct it!"

Speaking of this, his gaze turned to Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and he said, "I heard that all Prodigies who make it onto the Heavenly Dao Rankings receive a reward from Fengtian Hall. I wonder, what kind of things can Fengtian Hall provide?"

Although Zhong Qing did not care for Fengtian Hall's rewards.

But these were benefits for his Disciples, so it was better to ask clearly.

Hearing this, Vice-Dean Ning Hao quickly said, "Replying to Senior, Fengtian Hall's rewards will be distributed based on the Heavenly Dao Rankings and talent."

"All Prodigies on the Heavenly Dao Rankings across the Three Thousand Domains of Central State will be uniformly classified and then divided into four Ranks: A, B, C, and D."

"Given the talent and strength of your sect's Disciples, even if they are ranked last on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, they would definitely be among the top three in other Domains."

"Therefore, they will certainly enter the Rank A Prodigy category."

"They will receive the highest quality resource cultivation from Fengtian Hall."

"As for the rewards, the rewards for these Rank A Prodigies are quite generous."

"They will not directly distribute a specific physical item, but instead will be granted a very large amount of trading points."

"These trading points can be exchanged for any material within Fengtian Hall."

"Either Cultivation Techniques, or Divine Weapons, or requesting a powerful expert to act once, or directly buying a certain territory, or a certain high-ranking position…"

"If calculated purely by value, the points distributed to Rank A Prodigies should be enough to purchase a Saint-Grade Divine Weapon!"

Speaking of this, a hint of envy appeared in Vice-Dean Ning Hao's eyes.

In the past, the top spot on the Void Domain's Heavenly Dao Rankings was almost always occupied by the Inheritance Academy.

However, the first place in the Void Domain, in the entire Central State Three Thousand Domains, was at least ranked beyond ten thousand.

They simply did not qualify to enter the Rank A Prodigy category.

In contrast, this time's Phoenix Feather Sect.

Even those ranked ten thousandth would probably be a Rank A Prodigy.

This meant that just from rewards, they could receive ten thousand Saint-Grade Divine Weapons.

As soon as he thought of this number, even he, who had long been accustomed to major events, couldn't help but gasp.

One must know that the Inheritance Academy had stood in the entire Void Domain for many years, yet it only possessed one Half-Saint Divine Weapon as its ultimate trump card.

He found it hard to imagine what an astonishing fortune ten thousand Saint-Grade Divine Weapons would be.

"One Saint-Grade Divine Weapon?"

Zhong Qing murmured.

"It's just so-so!"

“?????”

The voice was not loud, but Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao still heard it.

This made them involuntarily stunned.

A Saint-Grade Divine Weapon, just so-so?

They knew Zhong Qing was extremely extraordinary.

After all, how could a person who could cultivate ten thousand Innate Dao Body Disciples be an easy person to deal with?

But to say that a Saint-Grade Divine Weapon was just so-so, was it not too exaggerated, too outrageous?

One must know that the Phoenix Feather Sect had ten thousand Disciples on the list.

That meant they could be rewarded with a full ten thousand!

This was not one or two!

But a full ten thousand.

They opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but in the end, they didn't know what to say…
