Chapter 148: Matriarchs Dragon Sun and Venomheart's Confrontation. Yang Wei's Assignment.

Now that the Lotus Blossom Ark had entered Dragon Blossom Sect territory, everyone stayed on high alert. Some of the female disciples were puzzled by the sudden change in atmosphere, questioning why they needed to be so cautious during what was supposed to be a learning opportunity.

However, they didn't dare question the wisdom of their esteemed elders.

Before long, representatives from the Dragon Blossom Sect emerged to greet them. Matriarch Dragon Sun, Míng Huīrán, could be seen hovering in the clouds with her arms behind her back, awaiting the arrival of the ark. As the two matriarchs locked eyes from afar, a tense silence hung in the air, each exchanging a glare that spoke volumes.

Míng Huīrán turned to Ling Meiyan, who was beside her, and instructed, "I will escort Xu Tung-Mei to the meeting venue. Ensure the disciples of the White Serpent Sect are treated with fairness and hospitality."

Ling Meiyan clenched her fist in determination and nodded, "Yes, Matriarch. I will see to it."

Addressing the other disciples, Ling Meiyan reminded them, "We must show respect to our rivals, even as we compete with them. Let us all behave accordingly."

The disciples nodded in agreement, echoing, "Yes!"

With a distance of 200 meters between them and the ark, Míng Huīrán opened a portal and swiftly flew through it, appearing above the Lotus Blossom Ark in full view of their visitors. The fierce intensity in her gaze sent a chill down the spines of the White Serpent Sect disciples, urging them to exercise even greater caution.

The only person who seemed unfazed was Yang Wei, who remained calm as he sipped his tea.

Then, he caught sight of Míng Huīrán.

Oh, it's Huīrán! She probably knows it's me...

He waved at her with a gentle smile, and she responded with a nod and a smile of her own.

Finally, Matriarch Venomheart spoke up, advising, "Fellow cultivator Míng, perhaps you should rein in your emotions a bit. Your spiritual pressure would crush everyone on this lotus if you don't."

Míng Huīrán's response was sharp, "Perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad thing if it meant eradicating such a despicable sect and its practices."

Gu Zhi clenched her fists, ready to confront Míng Huīrán.

But, Gu Yen intervened by placing a hand on her shoulder. "Sister, no... you must let the matriarch handle this."

"Tch!"

Turning to the matter at hand, Míng Huīrán suggested, "Shall we proceed to the Golden Palace now?"

Matriarch Venomheart then turned to Sun Yurong, "I'll leave our disciples in your hands. And don't worry, a seat will be made available for you when you're ready to join the meeting..."

"Yes, matriarch," Sun Yurong nodded respectfully.

Matriarch Venomheart then descended from her chair and approached Yang Wei, placing a hand on his shoulder.

This action sparked some murmuring among the disciples.

"Mingyu, I have an assignment for you," she calmly whispered. Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|-novelhall.net

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What's the task?"

Yang Wei, however, remained composed, sipping his tea leisurely.

The female disciples looked at him.

"Wow, she isn't even fazed..."

"It must be why the matriarch and chief elder Sun has taken such an interest with her! After all, she stood rigidly in the present of a Nascent Soul cultivator's aura!!"

"And don't forget those Core Formation beasts she killed in the Red Snake Mountains!"

"I heard it was over 150!"

"Legendary numbers!"

Yang Wei nodded approvingly and sipped his tea.

It seems everywhere I go, I am praised unendingly. Sigh~ why am I so outstanding!

Sun Yurong gave Yang Wei a curious side glance and saw him smugly drinking his tea. She leaned in, curious. "So, what did the matriarch tell you?"

Yang Wei let out a nonchalant yawn. "Just some nonsense," he replied, stunning her with his casual attitude.

Sun Yurong couldn't believe it. "Have you forgotten we're on the same side? We should be able to share everything with each other," she spoke softly, placing a comforting hand on his and gazing into his eyes with an almost innocent charm.

Yang Wei met her gaze, and they shared a moment of silence.

Sun Yujing scoffed from her spot, irritated by her mother's behavior. "This is ridiculous," she muttered under her breath.

It's as if mother doesn't even care about what our father had to sacrifice! She would dare dishonor his death by intimately involving herself with this classless young lady!

Deng Rulan turned to address the group. "It seems we've reached our destination. What's our next move?" She bowed her head respectfully.

She wasn't sure which chief elder to ask because they all had equal power. Although she was a disciple under the Venom Peak and reported directly to Gu Yen, she wasn't foolish enough to ask only one chief elder and ignore the rest.

But Gu Zhi didn't hesitate.

She already had an answer in mind.

Her fists emitted a green aura as she exclaimed, "Bloodshed! We should take as many men as possible from that sect. We'll use them as target dummies in our training grounds!"

Sun Yurong immediately stood up, objecting vehemently. "Absolutely not! We won't resort to violence!"

Gu Zhi sighed, resigned. "I figured as much," she muttered.

"Always so fiery, Sister..." Gu Yen chuckled.

Sun Yurong asserted, "We'll land and maintain decorum, regardless of how the Dragon Blossom Sect treats us."
