The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 156 Pretending
This action made Ling Weiyun's clone grit his teeth in anger: Where is justice?

You guys were having a blast calling me an "old man" just now! Now that I'm shamelessly calling myself that, nobody's "supporting" me anymore...

*******
In fact, from the very beginning, Feng Ling never intended to accept the elder token that Feng Tianjue entrusted Elder Liu Yidao to send, because accepting this thing would be equivalent to binding himself to the Yuqing Sect!

Even if you leave the relationship later, there will still be ties. To give a simple example: the quality of the university you graduate from determines, to some extent, the value of your degree.

Conversely, if a graduate achieves great success, their alma mater will definitely be discovered and exposed, thereby increasing the college's influence.

Regardless of whether being tied to the Jade Purity Sect is good or bad, the word "trouble" alone will definitely be a big deal!

If it weren't for Feng Tianjue's message that "holding an elder's token grants access to the fourth floor of the library," he would never have taken it on.

Even if it were Elder Liu Yidao who came to invite him, or even if the Jade Purity Sect Master himself came and presented him with an elder's token, Feng Ling would never accept it!

Actually, Feng Ling had many options to choose from, such as Leng Ning Shuang. He had initially considered saying that the token belonged to Leng Ning Shuang.

The reason why Feng Yuqing was ultimately chosen was because she represented Feng Tianjue to a certain extent. Although he gave her the token under the guise of "returning the item to its rightful owner," it was also a way of indirectly expressing his stance to Feng Tianjue.

"That's good, it saves me from agonizing over it for so long!"

After figuring it out, Feng Ling let out a long breath, feeling much more relaxed. His mind immediately became sharp, and he stared at the two-faced elders before him, secretly analyzing the situation.

"This kid is said to be a nepotism recruit. Relying on his personal relationship with Elder Ling Weiyun, and Elder Ling Weiyun's personal relationship with the sect leader, he's almost managed to get into the core disciples!"

"Indeed, I've heard about it too! Now they actually want to sit in the position of elder! What wishful thinking!"

"Senior Brother Xu and Elder Nie are right, he doesn't even go to scatter bubbles... oh, no! This kid isn't ugly, it's just that he doesn't even go to get a ruler and measure the height of the sky!"

……

Every now and then, the elders and disciples would whisper sarcastic remarks that reached his ears, but the man in purple seemed to ignore them.

Feng Ling remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he grew even colder. "You don't want me to get that elder's token? I don't care!"

A bunch of pretentious bastards!

Oh well, people can say whatever they want, I have a clear conscience!

After several thoughts raced through his mind, Feng Ling suddenly remembered something, lowered his head, frowned, and muttered, "Who exactly is Li Tian? Why does he harbor such hatred towards me...!"

When Li Tian was performing that act, Feng Ling didn't say a word, wanting to observe the guy more closely. It wasn't until the Grand Elder spoke that he realized Li Tian and Grand Elder Long Yuzhong were master and disciple!
This made him secretly wary, wondering if he was being targeted by the Grand Elder!
Of course, if we include Ling Weiyun's clones, then Feng Ling would probably have been targeted long ago...

"Junior brother, befriend virtuous officials and stay away from petty people! Think positively, that's just how the world is..."

Looking at the man in purple with a complicated expression, Leng Ning Shuang secretly transmitted her voice. From her words, Feng Ling could tell that she was hesitant to speak.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister! But do you think I, your junior brother, am the kind of person who would do something drastic?"
Sigh...!
At least, I'm not like some people who are irrational and can't drink alcohol.
But he insisted on drinking…

A confident, perfect curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. Feng Ling secretly teased the white-clad woman who had cast a murderous glare at him, and said something.

"Hmph~!"

Seeing that the man in purple was still in the mood to joke with her, Leng Ning Shuang's face flushed slightly. She snorted coldly, slowly turned her head away, and stopped looking at him.

Even if I have a thousand words to say, I cannot express them all!

This was Leng Ningshuang's impression and conclusion of Feng Ling at that time. Then, the green-clad woman, who had calmed down, secretly transmitted her voice to Feng Ling, and also cursed the ancestors of the surrounding elders and disciples for eighteen generations.

Hearing those arrogant words that were completely out of character for Feng Yuqing, Feng Ling's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Regardless of the circumstances, Feng Yuqing did manage to vent Feng Ling's anger.

"Alright, the unpleasantness of before is over! Now, let's all observe three minutes of silence for the fallen heroes, to comfort their heroic souls in the heavens!"

The Daoist chant was majestic, spreading throughout the entire Jade Purity Hall. If it weren't for the invisible barrier of supernatural powers, Feng Tianjue's powerful shout would have carried for hundreds of meters.

It has to be said that Feng Tianjue is quite cunning and shrewd!

That previous move served as a warning to others, making everyone behave themselves now, even Long Yuzhong had to restrain himself a bit...

"That old bastard Ling Weiyun actually went to Sunset City? It seems the news from there is true!"

As everyone bent down to maintain their posture, Long Yuzhong, taking a rare moment to clear his head, began to think, as if he were weighing something in his mind.

"In this cruel and chaotic world, we who are alive should cherish it even more!"

Alright, that concludes the condolences for the deceased.

Next, let us extend our sincerest blessings to these surviving heroes!

The three minutes passed quickly, and it wasn't until the echoes of Feng Tianjue's words lingered around the pillars of the main hall that the disciples and elders came back to their senses with a sigh.

"Leng Ningshuang, Feng Ling, Feng Yuqing..."

"The disciple is here!"

The man in the purple-gold crown smiled again, as if he were a completely different person. As the Jade Purity Sect Master called out the names of several people in public, three disciples immediately clasped their fists and responded.

"Step forward...to receive your praise!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Liu Yidao suddenly produced a pitch-black tray that was 60 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide, and then handed it to the man with the purple-gold crown with a smile.

“Yes~!”

Upon hearing the news, the three men in purple robes immediately stepped forward side by side, respectfully facing the Jade Purity Sect Master and several important elders who were slowly descending from the hall.

"Tap, tap..."

Seven steps...

Five steps...

Three steps...

The crisp, rhythmic footsteps echoed throughout the vast Jade Purity Hall, penetrating the hearts of everyone present. The last trace of unpleasantness in Feng Ling's heart was instantly forgotten.

"What exactly is this prize? Why are they making such a fuss...!"

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
