He tilted his head back, exhaled a heavy breath, and tears welled up in his cloudy old eyes.
“Huaiyi… I swore back then to keep the secret to myself. Now, this huge hole has finally been exposed.”
Tian Jinzhong's smile was more like a grimace. "But it's good, I won't have to work so hard anymore."
Ye Xing took a step forward and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Tian Jinzhong.
"Old Tian, you made a promise, and your limbs were crippled. You spent most of your life without sleeping, for fear that your words in your sleep would leak the truth. I, Ye Xing, admire your commitment to this promise."
Tian Jin was shocked, and tears slid down his deeply lined cheeks.
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Chulan's mind went blank, and his nose instantly stung with pain.
He rushed forward in two strides, his knees buckled, and he slammed his head hard against Tian Jinzhong's face.
"Master Tian! You've suffered so much!"
Tian Jinzhong wanted to reach out to help Zhang Chulan up, but he couldn't. He could only call out in a trembling voice, "Good child, get up quickly. This is what your master should do..."
The touching scene lasted for a few minutes. When Zhang Chulan stood up, wiping away his tears, everyone felt that the conversation should end today. After all, the amount of information was so great that it could turn the world of supernatural beings upside down.
Ye Xing reached out and picked at his ear, then turned to look at the old master Zhang Zhiwei.
"Master, your methods are so skillful, can you completely isolate the inside and outside of this room?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's eyelids twitched violently, and he gave a dry laugh.
"Young man Ye, don't scare this old man like that. Do you have something important on your mind?"
Ye Xing didn't answer, he just nodded.
Apart from Feng Baobao still picking at her fingers, everyone else in the room tensed up instantly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Zhiwei's long robe fluttered even without wind.
The next second, a dense golden light burst forth from his body, spreading outwards and quickly filling the entire room, completely enveloping the people inside and the floor tiles beneath their feet.
This golden light blocked out all breath and sound.
Seeing this, Ye Xing slowly and deliberately spoke.
"The Daoist boy named Xiaoyuzi next to Elder Tian is Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing Sect."
This sentence, short and concise, was like a nuclear bomb detonating directly in a small room.
'Zhang Zhiwei has been detected to be enraged and harboring murderous intent. A critical hit has been triggered, increasing his emotional value by 100!'
'Detected a chilling and absurd reaction from Tian Jinzhong, triggering a critical hit, emotion value +80!'
'Detected Lu Jin's reaction of absurdity and shock, emotion value +60!'
'Extreme terror detected in Xu San and Xu Si, emotion value +50, +50!'
'Zhang Chulan's shock was detected; emotion value +70.'
The system notification sounds came one after another, creating a symphony in Ye Xing's mind.
Tian Jinzhong's lips were trembling as he stared at the doorway, his voice slurred.
"How...how is that possible? Xiaoyuzi has been on the mountain for three years, serving me wholeheartedly. How old is he? How could he possibly be the acting leader of Quanxing!"
"Yes, Brother Ye, this is no joke!"
Xu Si's expression was serious. If this was true, it would be explosive intelligence for All-Knowing.
"This time it's guaranteed to be authentic."
Ye Xing spread his hands casually and continued speaking.
"He went to great lengths to infiltrate Old Tian's side for three years. What was he after? Wasn't it all for the secret of Zhang Huaiyi from back then?"
Ye Xing paused for a moment, then faced Zhang Zhiwei directly.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, this kid is very cunning. Once the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is over, if things get chaotic on the mountain, he will definitely take the opportunity to make a move against Elder Tian."
Zhang Zhiwei remained silent.
But the air inside the golden light shield seemed to have been instantly sucked out. The usually cheerful old celestial master narrowed his eyes, and the cold light shining through the gaps was so sharp it hurt one's skin.
At that moment, the terrifying aura truly belonging to the pinnacle of the world made everyone in the room feel breathless.
"I've said everything I needed to say. As for what to do next, that's your business."
Ye Xing knocked on the golden barrier in front of him. "Old Celestial Master, let's leave. I should leave too."
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Zhiwei dispelled the golden light, and the room returned to normal.
He looked up at Ye Xing, his expression calm, but his voice was frighteningly deep.
"Go."
Ye Xing turned and walked out, patting Zhang Chulan on the shoulder as he passed by.
"Are you hungry? Want to grab some skewers?"
Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, glanced at the three old men in the room with their strange atmosphere, and the silent Xu San and Xu Si, and quickly followed Ye Xing.
When Feng Baobao heard that there was food, her eyes lit up and she immediately followed with quick steps.
The three of them pushed open the door and swaggered out.
In the small courtyard outside the gate, Lu Linglong and the other young people were peering in from a distance.
As soon as Ye Xing came out, dozens of inquisitive eyes were fixed on him.
'Detected extreme curiosity from Lu Linglong and the others, emotion value +320!'
Ye Xing waved to them cheerfully and walked down the mountain path without looking back.
Just as Ye Xing stepped out of the courtyard gate, a muffled bang was heard, and the door behind him slammed shut again.
Ye Xing could feel the golden light filling the room again. He grinned and left.
Chapter 35 Ye Xing vs. Deng Youfu
The next morning, the air on the back of Longhu Mountain was still a bit chilly.
Ye Xing went to bed early because he wasn't interested in watching Zhang Chulan walk his bird under the moon last night.
Early this morning, Ye Xing yawned and leisurely strolled to the competition venue.
His match today was the second one, so he didn't have to come so early, but he had nothing better to do.
As he walked onto the stands, he casually pulled up the system panel and glanced at it.
Yesterday's grand performance in front of the Old Master and the Ten Elders, along with the revelations, sent my emotional value soaring. Combined with my previous savings, now...
[Host: Ye Xing]
[Cultivation Level: Two years and eight months]
[Spell: (80 years)]
The Sheep Charm (allows the soul to leave the body and move freely, and can also enter other people's dreams and transmit messages.)

[Emotional Value: 5520/10000]
"At this rate, once the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is over, we should be able to draw another new talisman."
Ye Xing closed the panel with satisfaction.
At this moment, the referee was already in position on the field below.
The first match was between Feng Xingtong of the Tianxia Society and Wang Bing of the Wang family of the Ten Elders.
Wang Bing strode into the arena with an air of arrogance, his nostrils flaring upwards, as if he wanted to write "I am the best in the world" on his face.
His smug expression made many people in the stands frown.
Feng Xingtong quietly walked out from the other side.
"Match 1, Feng Xingtong vs. Wang Bing, begin!"
The voice just fell.
Feng Xingtong didn't even bother with a starting stance. He simply raised his right hand high and shouted loudly at the referee, "Referee, I concede!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
"What's going on? They've already voted?"
"The young master of the World Society doesn't even dare to fight?"
"Boo—!"
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Wang Bing's smug expression froze instantly, replaced by rage.
"What the hell did you say?! Admit defeat? Who gave you permission to admit defeat?!"
Wang Bing pointed at Feng Xingtong and cursed loudly, his facial muscles contorting with rage.
Feng Xingtong completely ignored him. After confirming with the referee that his forfeit was valid, he turned around and walked off the field with light and quick steps.
This dismissive attitude immediately ignited Wang Bing's anger.
"Did I say you could leave?! Get back here and get beaten up!"
Wang Bing roared, and a turbid, viscous black aura suddenly burst forth from his body. He charged at Feng Xingtong's back like a mad dog, and unleashed a vicious attack.
At this critical moment.
A figure dressed in a Taoist robe suddenly descended from the sky and landed between the two with a "bang".
Rong Shan, the referee from Longhu Mountain, blocked Wang Bing's attack with one hand, his face serious.
"The match is over. Player Feng Xingtong has forfeited. Wang Bing, stop immediately!"
"Stop fucking! I'm willing to beat him up, who do you think you are? Get out of my way!"
Wang Bing continued to shout, his dark aura growing thicker and thicker, as if he intended to attack even the referee.
