Mo Tianlong is so bizarre!

He didn’t give Ye Feng any chance to explain.

Watching those figures gradually recede into the distance, Gong Qingqiu then looked at the five treasure boxes in the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, her mind trembling.

Those were treasures worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, left behind by the Myriad Islands Alliance, truly befitting an ancient Two-Star Force that controls the entire Southern River Lake, with profound foundations.

For them, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones were as insignificant as how ordinary One-Star Forces would regard a hundred Spirit Stones, untroubled in their hearts.

“Sect Master, that was Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong of the Myriad Islands. Why did he treat you as if you were old friends upon first sight?” Gong Qingqiu voiced her puzzlement.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Because this Sect Master helped the Myriad Islands carve thirty-six Miniature Cave-Heaven Arrays.”

Gong Qingqiu exclaimed in shock, “Cave… Cave Heaven Formation?”

“I forgot to mention, our Misty Sect also possesses a Miniature Cave Heaven World. I’ll take you to see it now.” Ye Feng walked to the backyard, stood in front of a large rock near the Spiritual Spring, and pointed at it, “This is the Miniature Cave Heaven World.”

Both of them entered.

Seeing the structures like the Spiritual Medicine Garden, vegetable garden, pond, and other facilities built inside, Gong Qingqiu’s beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.

She had thought this large rock was merely a decorative piece, not knowing until today that it was actually a precious Miniature Cave Heaven World.

“Though carving thirty-six Miniature Cave-Heaven Arrays is indeed shocking, it doesn’t seem reason enough for the leader of a distinguished Two-Star Force to be so courteous, does it?”

Gong Qingqiu muttered, still puzzled.

To this, Ye Feng did not explain.

He guessed that it was probably because Mo Tianlong had cut off his dark side and was now exceedingly pure, like a child, straightforward and open-minded, which is why his attitude was so favorable toward him.

If it were the Sect Master of the Divine Wind Sword Sect or leaders of other Two-Star Forces, they would not likely come asking for a marriage alliance just because he had carved the thirty-six Miniature Cave-Heaven Arrays. At most, they would express their thanks and keep in touch.

“Of course, it definitely has something to do with my strength,”

Ye Feng added.

Gong Qingqiu then came to a realization and said, “That’s true. Sect Master, at your young age, you’ve already attained the cultivation level of the Spirit Sea Realm. Mo Tianlong must have seen this and thus used his daughter to win you over.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “What a clever move. Mo Tianlong clearly knew that Sect Master wouldn’t dare to agree, so he intentionally left behind five treasure boxes. Not only did his daughter remain unmarried, but he also showed sincerity, and left gifts behind.”

“That way, no matter what, Sect Master, you will have to maintain a good relationship with the Myriad Islands Alliance, after all, ‘he who takes a gift is bound to comply.’

“Truly worthy of being an old fox from a Two-Star Force, with deep schemes!”

Gong Qingqiu wildly speculated.

Ye Feng stood aside and listened, the corners of his mouth twitching incessantly.

Big sister!

Mo Tianlong is straightforward, not as cunning as you imagine. All this is just your speculation!

Thinking this, Ye Feng covered his face with a hand.

Before long, the two returned to the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.

The disciples had already gathered around the five treasure boxes, their eyes sparkling with excitement at the treasures inside.

“Stop gawking, get back to your cultivation,”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Ye Feng urged, then collected the five treasure boxes.

Afterward, looking at Gong Qingqiu who was about to leave the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, he said, “Elder Gong, accompany this Sect Master to Whitefloat City.”

“Yes, Sect Master,” Gong Qingqiu nodded slightly.

…

In the back mountain of the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City,

in a serene courtyard, the Old City Lord was sitting in his seat, enjoying the service of a few young maids with a content expression.

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been the City Lord, and life would be much easier. Speaking of which, when can Sect Master Ye assume the position of City Lord? That way, I can finally relax completely.”

The Old City Lord muttered to himself.

In the past, he devoted himself to cultivation every day, without even a maid by his side. But after his breakthrough attempt failed, the Deputy City Lord brought him a group of maids. At first, he wasn’t accustomed to it, but after experiencing their boundless tenderness, the Old City Lord was utterly stunned.

He suddenly felt, what was the point of working hard on cultivation?

This kind of life was ultimately the most comfortable.

“Ahem!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Ye Feng and Gong Qingqiu stood behind the Old City Lord, making their presence known.

“Oh, Sect Master Ye has arrived, and there’s also Daoist Gong from Shuiyang City. The arrival of both of you truly makes this humble courtyard shine!” Upon seeing them, the Old City Lord quickly pushed the maids aside and put on a serious face.

Ye Feng and Gong Qingqiu exchanged a glance and nearly burst out laughing.

After some pleasantries, Ye Feng got straight to the point, “Old City Lord, Daoist Gong Qingqiu has now joined our Misty Sect and has become an Outer Sect Elder.”

“Oh? That’s truly congratulatory news for your sect, adding such a powerful Elder to your ranks,” the Old City Lord quickly offered his congratulations.

Gong Qingqiu was beautiful and kind-hearted, with high cultivation and strength. She was considered a goddess in the eyes of many Sect Masters.

Hearing that she had joined the Misty Sect, the Old City Lord silently envied them.

At this moment, Ye Feng asked, “Old City Lord, what is your opinion of Elder Gong?”

Upon hearing this, the Old City Lord’s eyes lit up.

Could it be, Sect Master Ye knows I now fancy beautiful women and is playing matchmaker for me?

The Old City Lord grew excited, “Elder Gong is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, with endless charm. She is indeed the perfect candidate for a Dual Cultivation Companion.”

At his words, Gong Qingqiu’s face flushed red.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Ye Feng’s expression turned strange.

His original intention was to acknowledge Gong Qingqiu’s strength, high cultivation, and adeptness at managing cities, to have her act as the provisional City Lord of Whitefloat City and see how that would work out.

Gong Qingqiu, as an Outer Sect Elder of the Misty Sect, taking on the role of City Lord of Whitefloat City would essentially make the whole of Whitefloat City an asset under the Misty Sect.

This was much better than being the City Lord himself.

Taking these factors into account, that’s why Ye Feng brought Gong Qingqiu over.

“Old City Lord, now is not the time to discuss Dual Cultivation Companions. Instead, I have a plan, and I wonder if I should share it,” Ye Feng said.

Upon hearing it wasn’t about arranging a match for him, the Old City Lord immediately deflated and replied listlessly, “Please go on, Sect Master Ye.”

“Elder Gong’s cultivation has reached the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, meeting the standard of a One-Star Sect Master. She was also the Deputy City Lord of Shuiyang City, skilled in Talisman, Formation, Alchemy, and other arts. She is the best choice for the City Lord of Whitefloat City,” Ye Feng said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, both the Old City Lord and Gong Qingqiu showed signs of surprise.

The Old City Lord pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands in admiration, “Brilliant! With this, I can retire in peace and enjoy a pastoral life that I have never had before. With Elder Gong, who is at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, in charge of Whitefloat City, we can secure our status as a Star-Level Force. It’s truly a flawless plan.”

He had long since grown tired of being the City Lord.

He was delighted to hear that Gong Qingqiu would take over.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Gong Qingqiu, however, was quite surprised. She mistook Ye Feng’s intent as wanting to kick her out of the Misty Sect and hastily said, “Sect Master, you don’t want me anymore?”

“Eh? It looks like Sect Master Ye and Daoist Gong have already… gotten together?” The Old City Lord raised his eyebrows, his thoughts taking a turn.

Ye Feng clarified, “Daoist Gong may not be aware, but the Old City Lord’s breakdown has caused him to lose all his cultivation, except for physical strength comparable to an ordinary Lower Rank Demon General.”

With plenty of experience, Gong Qingqiu instantly understood, “Sect Master means that Whitefloat City no longer has a Sect Master-level powerhouse, and if word gets out, we could lose our qualification as a Star-Level Force.”

“Elder Gong is indeed wise. I hope you can take on the position as City Lord of Whitefloat City, ensuring that our Star-Level status stands firm. However, you’ll still be an Outer Sect Elder at our Misty Sect’s Elders’ Hall on a day-to-day basis,” Ye Feng explained.

“Daoist Gong is only an Outer Sect Elder? If I were the Sect Master of the Misty Sect, such an enchanting fairy would absolutely be an Inner Sect Elder, preferably even a bedside Elder!” the Old City Lord internally criticized.

Upon hearing this arrangement, Gong Qingqiu was relieved and nodded, saying, “If it is the Sect Master’s wish, I am willing to take on the position as the City Lord of Whitefloat City.”
