Chapter 519 Join The Sect II
"Why do you keep looking at her, Big Brother? Do you know her?"
"Her name is Yan Qingcheng." Chen Li answered Bei Yudie's question, and Yang Guo and the other two also turned to the woman. "Anyway, she's been following me since I took Chen'er out for a walk yesterday."
"If I'm not mistaken, Aunt Yueyan's mother came from the Yan Clan, but there are no female younger generations in that clan now." Noticing his suspicious glance at her, Yan Qingcheng distantly winked at Yang Hao, which confused him even more.
'I felt that I had met her before, but I remembered for sure that I had never seen her face before'. Huo Rui inwardly muttered. "Yang Hao is right; there are no other female descendants in the Yan Clan after Aunt Yuelan's mother."
"Okay, you guys have nothing to worry about regarding that woman; she is solely focusing her attention on me."
Unlike those three people, Bei Yudie was familiar with Chen Li. 'Big brother, you already know the identity of that woman, right?'
'Haha.' Chen Li laughed and hugged Bei Yudie's waist. 'You're right, I already know her identity, but she's actually a clone like Ye Xiaoling, who visited our residence three days ago.'
'Why did Big Sis Xiaoling do that? Who is the real identity of that woman?''
Chen Li glanced at Yan Qingcheng for a moment before telling Bei Yudie. 'Her real identity was Leng Yueyan, and she seemed curious about me after she saw me training in the forest, so she probably asked Ye Xiaoling to teach her.'
'Huh?' Bei Yudie wanted to turn to Yan Qingcheng, but Chen Li stopped her from doing so, as he did not want her to realize that her identity had been exposed. 'Does that mean you're going to approach her, Big Brother?'
Chen Li nodded with a smile. 'I can't possibly let go of prey that deliberately comes at me, right? Since Leng Yueyan did that on purpose, then I will follow her game, and I will enjoy harvesting her yin qi. That way, I can get stronger faster, and I can help you guys too.' Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
'Somehow, I feel sorry for her, Big Brother.' Bei Yudie said that as she shook her head helplessly. 'She doesn't know that the man she's after is a lustful dragon, and she won't be able to get away from you again once she dual cultivates with you.'
Suddenly, the concealment formation covering the sect opened slightly, and several people walked out from within it.
Yang Hao immediately told them. "That man is Li Jingyun, the male sect master of this sect, and the woman beside him is Aunt Yueyan."
However, Chen Li was not interested in Leng Yueyan, as he had seen her from Yang Hao's memories before, and he was more interested in a woman standing behind them.
The woman has an alluring oval face with long black hair flowing loosely along her back, and a golden ornament adorns her head. Her black eyes are mellow but soothing, her nose is a bit slender, and her lips are slightly thick at the bottom. Although she is quite tall, her body is not as seductive as that of Leng Yueyan; her breasts are a mere A-cup, and her posterior is nearly flat. Even so, her appearance was graceful in her white and purple dress, and the aura that radiated from her made people feel an extraordinary sense of serenity.
'Hmm?' Diao Hudie turned to Leng Yueyan in surprise. 'Do you know that young man, Big Sis?'
'Not really.' Leng Yueyan replied by shaking her head before touching Diao Hudie's forehead, and she shared her memories of when she saw Chen Li training in the southern forest. 'I only saw him once at that time, and you can see for yourself that he is very unique; even his fighting abilities are far above his generation.'
Diao Hudie nodded in agreement as she looked at Leng Yueyan's memories, but her expression became shocked when she saw the necklace of destiny. 'What a marvelous artifact! This is the first time I've seen a necklace that can transform into so many kinds of weapons, but what kind of weapon is he using that can shoot such powerful qi?'
'I don't know; it's the first time I've seen such a weapon, and its attack power is so strong.' Leng Yueyan then ordered one of the male elders. "We can start now, Lu Chao."
"Quiet! My name is Lu Chao, one of the elders of this sect, and I am your first examiner. For the first assessment, it is very easy but also difficult at the same time, and many people always fail at this stage." After that, he snapped his fingers, and hundreds of barrels filled with large rocks landed in front of the prospective disciples. However, they are divided into two categories, and the section for men looks much heavier than that for women. "We as dual cultivators need strong physique and stamina, so for this first assessment test, you only need to take one of the barrels and climb up to the main gate, and only those who successfully reach the main gate will pass to the next test. Now let's start the assessment first of all, and you guys only have two hours to reach the main gate."
After Lu Chao gave the signal, the prospective disciples immediately took the barrels, and they began to climb the stone stairs in front of them, but the stairs were really high.
However, Chen Li did not move immediately and asked the other four to wait, especially since the number of prospective disciples taking the test was too large. Besides, he counted a thousand stone steps to get to the main gate, and the barrels weighed about a hundred kilos each, which would drag them down if they moved along with them, so he chose to wait for some time.
Unlike Huo Rui, who was confused by Chen Li's decision, Yang Hao and the other two women still seemed relaxed about it, and they were confident enough to pass the first assessment easily, especially since they had all trained on the beast plane, which had ten times the gravity of the Seven Moon Realm.
"Aren't we going to move?"
"You can move first if you can't wait." Chen Lie answered as he paid attention to prospective disciples who had good potential, especially female prospective disciples, and his gaze fell on a young girl.
Even though the girl was just ordinary and her body was a bit chubby, Chen Li could see the high spirits in her expression. Moreover, she was the first female disciple candidate who managed to lift the barrel filled with stones, and she began to walk up the stone stairs with difficulty.
'Tsk!' Huo Rui gritted her teeth after the other three gave the same reaction as Chen Li, so she immediately took one of the barrels and started climbing straight away. However, a powerful aura suddenly enveloped her, and she was brought up to the main gate directly, making those prospective disciples jealous of her.
"I didn't expect that you would join here, Rui." Leng Yueyan said as she glanced at Yang Hao. "Are you doing this to get back with your ex-fiancé?"
Hearing that, Huo Rui pouted his lips in complaint. "We haven't seen each other in quite some time, Aunt Yueyan. Therefore, there's no need to tease me, all right? I admit that I joined this sect in order to win Yang Hao's heart again, but the girl beside him is his future wife, and they will get married soon; even the Yang Clan has spread the news in the eastern region."
"Oh?" Leng Yueyan was taken back for a moment. "Are you sure that you can accept the status of a second wife? Moreover, Lingxun can't possibly agree to that, especially since she wants you and Qingya to be the first wives."
"What can I do?" Huo Rui asked back with a bitter smile. "They dual-cultivated yesterday, and Yang Hao loves her very much; he even gave me the cold shoulder because I was hostile towards her. Moreover, I love Yang Hao too much, so I will try to accept the status as his second wife. As for my father, you surely know that he's always afraid of my mother, right?"
"Linghua is indeed as fierce as a tigress, and Lingxun will never win against her." Huo Rui nodded repeatedly, and Leng Yueyan asked her. "Have you known Long Wang for a long time?"
