"Yes, yes, this subordinate understands. This subordinate will leave now!"
Liu Fang bowed repeatedly in fear.
At the same time, her figure retreated backward.
She could naturally feel the extremely sharp killing intent emanating from Ling Feng, and was truly worried that Ling Feng would kill her in the next moment!
Ling Feng stared at Liu Fang's retreating figure, remaining silent.
Liu Fang's figure gradually moved further away.
But when she was about five meters away from Ling Feng, Liu Fang suddenly thought of something and quickly stopped.
"Oh, Senior, there's one more thing to report to you!"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"It's about the Inner Sect Selection. In seven days, the Inner Sect will select disciples with outstanding aptitude from the Outer Sect disciples. I wonder if Senior will be participating then?"
As Liu Fang spoke, she kept stealing glances at Ling Feng, clearly worried that he might get angry.
As long as even a hint of annoyance appeared on Ling Feng's face, Liu Fang would immediately retract her unnecessary words!
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised by this news.
He hadn't expected that there would be such a legitimate opportunity to enter the Inner Sect of the Myriad Sword Sect so soon.
This matter would be properly arranged by Sect Master Hong and the others, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Ling Feng also understood Liu Fang's intentions for telling him this news in advance.
This person was simply being suffocated by the oppressive aura Ling Feng exuded.
Therefore, as long as Ling Feng could enter the Inner Sect.
Then she, Liu Fang, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, whatever Ling Feng intended to do in the Inner Sect or to the Myriad Sword Sect would have nothing to do with her, Liu Fang.
As long as she obediently followed the rules and didn't provoke Ling Feng, what reason would there be for Ling Feng to attack her?
Ling Feng stared at Liu Fang and said indifferently, "What? Do you feel that my presence here is like a persistent maggot on your bones?"
"No, no, Senior, you misunderstand. What I meant was... it's a sect rule. Everyone must participate in the Inner Sect Selection. Even handyman disciples have to come forward. So, if you don't wish to participate, I can arrange for you to go down the mountain in advance, and you can avoid the Inner Sect Selection."
Liu Fang was extremely terrified and kept shaking her head, explaining.
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you mean? Everyone must participate? And one has to go down the mountain to avoid it?"
"Yes, during the Inner Sect Selection, the Sect Master will join forces with the two Grand Elders to bring out the ancient sword of our Myriad Sword Sect. The sword's radiance will envelop all Myriad Sword Sect disciples. As long as a disciple activates their spiritual roots, the ancient sword will sense it. Those with stronger aptitude will have a stronger connection with the ancient sword. Since ancient times, the most outstanding disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect have made the ancient sword emit seven sword cries. It is said that that ancestor ascended to immortality three thousand years ago!"
Liu Fang quickly explained, recounting every word in great detail, not daring to miss anything.
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Interesting. Alright, I understand this matter. You may leave. Remember, when you have nothing to do, do not come to disturb me. No one else is allowed to come either, understand?"
Ling Feng waved his hand indifferently.
Liu Fang quickly scrambled away.
After returning to her residence, Liu Fang took a sip of tea and finally managed to catch her breath.
But it was only then that Liu Fang suddenly realized.
She had asked for so long, but in the end, she hadn't found out anything at all. It was truly a wasted trip.
What had Ling Feng said at the time?
"Interesting?"
"What does that mean? Does he actually want to enter the Inner Sect?"
"Logically speaking, someone of this caliber infiltrating the Myriad Sword Sect must have a purpose. And impersonating a handyman disciple is the simplest way. But no matter what they intend to do, they can't just stay in the Outer Sect of the Myriad Sword Sect forever, can they?"
Liu Fang muttered to herself for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't figure anything out.
However, she did remember something Ling Feng had said earlier.
When she had nothing to do, she absolutely must not disturb Ling Feng.
And she absolutely could not inquire about Ling Feng's situation with those two female disciples like before.
Now, it seemed that even the two handyman female disciples were not someone she, Liu Fang, could afford to offend.
This kind of life was truly suffocating.
However, facing all this, Liu Fang had no other choice.
Who else but Ling Feng held her life in his hands?
Ling Feng returned to the courtyard and saw Qing'er and the other girl waiting for him.
Upon seeing Ling Feng return, the two of them rushed forward and knelt before him!
"Senior, this servant deserves to die!"
The two spoke in unison and were about to kowtow.
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow slightly and casually raised a hand, sending out a surge of energy that supported the two of them.
Under Ling Feng's immensely powerful cultivation, the two had no ability to resist.
Facing Ling Feng, the two became even more reverent.
Ling Feng, however, smiled faintly at them. "You two have done very well. You are grateful and have not revealed what we did here!"
Qing'er and the other girl looked surprised upon hearing this.
Were Ling Feng's expectations of them so low?
However, the two of them had indeed mustered the courage not to reveal these matters, and this was indeed a demonstration of their gratitude!
"It is only what this servant should do!"
"This servant would rather die than betray Senior. You are our benefactor!"
As they spoke, the two again prepared to kneel before Ling Feng.
Ling Feng quickly reached out to stop them. "Stop kneeling. I don't like it. Also, I am not your benefactor. Our meeting is fate. You should seize this opportunity. Take these elixirs and cultivate diligently to improve your cultivation!"
With that, Ling Feng handed some elixirs to the two of them!
The two dared not refuse. After receiving them with both hands, they were shocked by the spiritual energy contained within the elixirs.
Their beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at Ling Feng.
Immediately, tears welled up in their eyes.
It was clear that they had never been treated so kindly before.
Ling Feng naturally understood their feelings and smiled faintly. "There's no need for too many thanks. Become powerful and protect yourselves. We will have to leave one day, and by then, you will have to rely on yourselves."
"Yes!"
The two responded as if taking an oath.
Ling Feng directly returned to his room. The moment the door closed, Ling Feng's voice emerged from within: "Don't worry, that Liu Fang won't dare to bother you from today onwards!"
The two exchanged glances, their hearts filled with even more emotion.
"We must not fail Senior's expectations. We must become strong!"
"Yes, we must become strong and not let anyone bully us!"
From this day on, the two girls also became cultivation fanatics.
As for Ling Feng, he continued to enter his secluded cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
The communication jade slip in Ling Feng's hand finally lit up.
The person contacting Ling Feng was none other than Sect Master Hong!
This Sect Master Hong was different from Liu Fang. He naturally understood what Ling Feng had come to the Myriad Sword Sect for, which was to conquer the entire Myriad Sword Sect.
Therefore, Sect Master Hong had to consider every step for Ling Feng!
"Senior, in three days, it will be the Inner Sect Selection, and it will also be your opportunity to enter the Inner Sect, a legitimate opportunity!"
Sect Master Hong's voice echoed in his ears.
Ling Feng nodded slightly and then replied, "I already know about this matter. You make the arrangements. We will enter the Inner Sect in three days!"
