"What happened next?" Ye Fan quickly asked.
"Later, as they got closer, they felt more and more uncomfortable. Because they were really scared, they came back first to report," explained Zhenren Ziyun. "I was thinking of going to take a look myself after Wang Yang and the others get married."
"Then let's go together when the time comes," Ye Fan added.
Although he wasn't sure if this clue was related to what he was looking for, it was better than having no clue at all.
At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly remembered something.
"Master?" Ye Fan looked at Zhenren Ziyun suspiciously. "Since you have these books, why didn't you tell me when I was looking for clues in the sect and the imperial palace?"
"Because I read a few of them back then and found that they were all about sect rules and the responsibilities of the sect leader, so I couldn't be bothered to read them anymore!"
Zhenren Ziyun replied righteously.
"With my sect leader's intelligence, do I still need to read these things?!"
Everyone was already used to Zhenren Ziyun's narcissism, and now they couldn't even be bothered to complain.
"Right, Master, I have something for you." Recalling his previous idea, "Do you have any spirit jade for recording?"
"This is rare!" Zhenren Ziyun was greatly surprised and immediately teased, "It's rare that you finally remembered me, your master. You still have some conscience."
Teasing aside, Zhenren Ziyun took out a spirit jade and handed it over.
Ye Fan took the spirit jade and activated his spiritual power.
The content of the cultivation technique was gradually recorded within it.
Two minutes later.
"Done." Ye Fan handed the spirit jade over. "Master, what do you think?"
"Mysterious, what is it?" Zhenren Ziyun curiously took the spirit jade and released a trace of spiritual power to examine it.
Her expression gradually changed from solemn to terrified!
Although she was seeing it for the first time, she could vaguely see the profundity and magic of this cultivation technique.
This was definitely high-grade stuff!
"Precious disciple, this cultivation technique...?"
"What do you think, Master?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"It's simply magical!" Zhenren Ziyun was shocked. "You're giving this to me now, does it mean...?"
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded. "Speaking of which, I've received a lot of care from you, Master. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"Precious disciple!" Zhenren Ziyun immediately hugged Ye Fan upon hearing that it was truly for her. "I'm so touched! I didn't dote on you for nothing!"
Ye Fan instantly felt a pressure.
He didn't expect his master to be so unfathomable!
His teacher had said that when encountering a question he didn't know, he should choose C.
But now, he found that the correct answer should be D!
The three senior sisters looked on with envy.
If their master was so excited, this cultivation technique must be very powerful!
"Uh, Master..." Ye Fan gently pushed Zhenren Ziyun away. "Don't get too excited, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"No, no!" Zhenren Ziyun immediately put the spirit jade into her ring and then clutched her hand tightly. "Once you give it to me, it's mine!"
Ye Fan and the others: ...
Wasn't this a child who had possessed their master?
"Actually, it's like this," Ye Fan quickly explained. "I still have a bit of this cultivation technique left. How about you give me a few more spirit jades first?"
"Still, still, still, still have more?" Zhenren Ziyun's heart rate surged, and her speech started to lean towards the second senior sister.
"Let's agree first, you're not allowed to faint!" Ye Fan quickly warned when he saw the situation was not right. "If you faint now, it'll be gone!"
"Okay, okay, okay... I won't faint..."
Zhenren Ziyun gasped for breath and took out several more spirit jades, handing them over.
Ye Fan recorded over a dozen spirit jades in one go before stopping.
"That's all for now. Master, you can decide how to distribute them later."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhenren Ziyun nodded like a pecking chicken and happily put away all the spirit jades.
With these treasures, she no longer cared about being a matchmaker and immediately left with the three senior sisters.
As for how their master would distribute them after returning, Ye Fan couldn't be bothered to think about it.
Although his master seemed unreliable usually, she was actually very shrewd!
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you," Ye Fan explained to the little demon girl. "It's mainly that I really don't have a suitable cultivation technique for you."
"Yes, I know," the little demon girl nodded obediently.
Ye Fan felt that the little demon girl was a bit off.
Why was she so quiet today?
What kind of nonsense had their master filled her head with?
...
Just then, two figures appeared at the doorway.
One looked like an ordinary old man, except for his slightly vacant eyes.
The other was even more exaggerated!
His left eyeball was darting around wildly...
"Ye Fan, you're back!"
"Ye Fan, we missed you so much!"
The two old men stepped forward, each grabbing one of Ye Fan's hands.
They revealed the most radiant and friendly smiles.
These smiles represented their joy at seeing their good friend again.
However, as Master Xie Yan smiled, his mouth turned into a horizontal 'S' shape...
Although Ye Fan had seen it before, he still felt a little unaccustomed to it...
"Second Elder, Master Xie Yan." Ye Fan nodded politely. "I'm back."
It turned out that when Zhenren Ziyun sent a message to Li Mingbai earlier, she had also sent one to the Second Elder.
It was just that something had delayed him then, so he was a little late.
"Ye Fan, you're not being a good friend," the Second Elder suddenly complained. "You went out to play before and didn't take us along."
"That's right!" Master Xie Yan's left eyeball darted even faster. "But we choose to forgive you, after all, we're good friends!"
"Mm!" The Second Elder nodded. "Who told us to be good friends!"
After speaking, the two of them stared fixedly at Ye Fan.
Fixedly, without blinking!
Even the frequency of Master Xie Yan's left eye movement had noticeably slowed down.
And their hands were still gripping Ye Fan's hands tightly...
The tone of their speech was very serious, very sincere.
But when this serious and sincere tone was paired with their expressions, the scene instantly became bizarre...
"Okay, I understand!"
Ye Fan replied, then very decisively pulled his hands out.
It was nothing else.
He just felt a chill down his spine...
Although Ye Fan knew that his spiritual power was in the abnormal category,
Compared to these two 'spiritual power powerhouses,' he was just a weakling!
I can choose not to discriminate against you.
But I'm sorry, I can't join you!
"By the way, Master Xie Yan," Ye Fan decisively changed the subject. "I found something earlier, does it look familiar to you?"
Ye Fan immediately took out those pillars.
They were the super large 'silver needles' discovered in the Xie Yan ruins...
Fortunately, the Grand Hall of Ziyun was large enough, otherwise, they might not have fit.
"Eh?" Master Xie Yan squatted down and curiously touched the pillars. "What are these things?"
"Master, you don't recognize them?" Ye Fan looked at him suspiciously. "Take a closer look."
"No need to look again." Master Xie Yan shook his head seriously. "I'm sure this is the first time I've seen these things today."
"Then take a look at this." Ye Fan immediately mobilized his spiritual power and condensed a black evil flame between his fingers.
"Ah—!"
The two old men seemed to have seen something terrifying and immediately sprang back a long distance!
Then they tightly hugged each other, trembling uncontrollably...
"What is this thing? It's so scary!"
"Ye Fan, quickly put it away, I'm scared..."
