After the flying ship set off, Su Ye and Su Meng were jubilant with their bountiful gains from this journey. The most update n0vels are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵 The two leaned close to Brother Cheng, once again entering their flattery mode. "Ancestor, why didn't you let them to the Feixian Sect?" Su Meng curiously asked, "Is it because their abilities are too weak and you look down on them?" Of course, Brother Cheng couldn't say it was because he was afraid they'd steal the limelight, so he nodded in agreement. "That's right, you're absolutely right." Su Ye said proudly, "Not many can catch Ancestor's eye, what are Immortal Kings and Demon Kings even worth?" "Hehe, Ancestor must be the strongest person in the Immortal Realm." Leng Huahan quietly grumbled to himself, you two are merely True Immortals, yet you dare to say 'what are Immortal Kings and Demon Kings worth'? Who gave you the courage? But looking at the ancestor's delighted expression, it was clear he didn't mind such excessive flattery. Alas, I've made a mistake on this trip! Looking back on the great opportunity Immortal Venerable Yuan Sheng mentioned before departure, turns out it was . It's a shame I was so dismissive then. Gu Qingyu missed the chance because she didn't come; I, despite coming, ended up empty-handed! Thinking about it, I almost want to hit myself. If I had flattered all the way like Su Ye and Su Meng, would I have also returned full-handed? Tier Six Immortal Armor, Top-Grade Magical Treasures, Seventh-grade Elixirs... The treatment is truly enviable! Moreover, there's the Ancestor's future guidance, the hidden rewards of goodwill from the four experts. Should I give it a try? "Ahem, Ancestor's divine might is unparalleled, commanding the Middle Immortal Realm with no dissent!" This abrupt shout drew the attention of everyone on the flying ship. Yuan Zhe and Yuan Wu, among other elders, doubted their ears. This statement, could it be Leng Huahan who said it? This true disciple, always proud and aloof, indifferent to everyone, He's long been capable of managing by himself, so even his master Yuan Sheng mostly lets him be. But for him to actually flatter? And in such a cringeworthy manner? Brother Cheng was also startled by the shout. He hadn't paid much attention to Leng Huahan along the way, but could see his pride and aloofness, like an upright pine tree in the snow. The type of person who sticks to his principles and doesn't 'go with the flow.' Jiang Zhang respects those unwilling to flatter and does not force them. But he didn't expect that he'd succumb. Brother Cheng was secretly delighted, this is a significant progress! However, kid, your flattery is too stiff, isn't it? It's like shouting slogans, awkward to the ear. For a moment, people might think I'm the Star Old Immortal with boundless power. Look at Su Ye and Su Meng; although not yet evolved to the level of a Flattery King, at least their every flattering point is solidly reasoned. Unlike your unnatural approach. Seeing everyone's perplexed gaze, Leng Huahan's face, hard like a sculpture, twitched, wishing he could die on the spot. It's as if my mind's covered in lard, forgetting my original pride! However, right afterward, Elder Jiang flew to his side and kindly patted his broad shoulder. "You've done well; I've noticed your transformation and improvement along the way." "Truly a pillar of Feixian Sect's future!" "I have my hopes in you." "I also don't need this Treasure Light Sword, so I'll reward it to you, hoping you'll continue to work hard and not let me down!" The Treasure Light Sword? Isn't this the Tier Seven Immortal Sword used by Meng Qin? Behind them, Yuan Zhe, Yuan Wu, and Yuan He, the three elders, almost spat blood on the spot. No one in the Feixian Sect has yet used a Tier Seven Immortal Artifact; even the Sect Leader and the Great Elder do not have one. And Leng Huahan, this true disciple, has it now? Where is his progress along the way? Just because he made a terribly unskilled flattery? Is that all it takes? Staring at the floating Treasure Light Sword before him, then the Ancestor's approving gaze with a smile, Leng Huahan's recently determined aloof nature utterly collapsed. The steadfast pine tree in the snow quietly bent. What's 'don't go with the flow,' what's losing principle, in front of a Tier Seven Immortal Artifact, are they all illusions? Moreover, this is the Ancestor of this Sect. As a younger generation, if not aligning with him, who else should I align with? His tiger-like eyes gleamed, trembling hands took the sword. "I will not let Ancestor's expectations down!" Brother Cheng nodded in satisfaction. Honestly, Leng Huahan wasn't as favored by him as Su Ye and Su Meng. Merely such an astonishing piece of flattery wouldn't warrant such a reward; he's not some Sudhana. But firstly, this person's flattery is rarer and needs encouragement. Secondly, while not necessarily valuing talent, even considering character and qualities, this person counts as a rare talent. Lastly, it's to set an example with a generous reward! When returning, other disciples of Feixian Sect seeing that even the true inheritor senior brother Leng Huahan has become a flattery expert, wouldn't it be a good leading example? Thus, he deliberately rewarded the Treasure Light Sword. Seeing Leng Huahan's treatment, the three elders could no longer hold it in. In front of him, does maintaining a status mean anything? Yuan Zhe was the first to speak up in flattery: "Following the Ancestor out this time, I finally see what it means for thousands of immortals to worship!" Yuan Wu was not willing to lag behind: "The Ancestor's power and connections are completely beyond our comprehension, truly astonishing!" Yuan He took a different angle, attacking himself: "Initially, I thought Ancestor's actions were reckless; now looking back, I find my perspective so myopic, like a barnyard bird unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth..." Even Brother Cheng was taken aback by Yuan He. Wow, this one's a talent, almost reminiscent of Immortal Mo of the past! Actually, he's not foolish, knowing these three were originally overseeing to prevent any misconduct like absconding with funds. But all are from Feixian Sect, with no ill intentions towards the sect. "Following me out this time, even if there's no merit, there's hard work." Tier Seven Immortal Artifacts are surely unavailable, but Tier Six ones can still be rewarded as encouragement, hoping they set a good example within the elder circle. Each holding a Sixth Tier Immortal Sword with joy, the three expressed their gratitude profoundly. Turns out, this is the proper way to interact with the Ancestor! Why didn't we realize earlier? The three deeply reflected, realizing it must have been their poor performance before, costing them points, hence the reward wasn't as good as Leng Huahan's. As for Su Ye and Su Meng, these two who long advanced to trusted aides/red favorites, they dare not compare, only look up to the big shots. Along the rest of the way, everyone shared smiles and laughter on the flying ship. In stark contrast to when they came. Even Leng Huahan, under the elders' instigation, told two jokes to liven the atmosphere, as if everyone became a family, blurring the line between elders and disciples. And so, they returned to Feixian Sect. As soon as they got off the flying ship, Sect Leader Yuan Zhen and Great Elder Yuan Sheng couldn't wait to greet them. "Patriarch, you're finally back!" "We've heard of your achievements outside!" They saw Second Elder Yuan Shu and Third Elder Yuan Mu leading a group of elders, all bowing respectfully.
