Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Departure (3)
Li Feng, who had suddenly become someone’s disciple without his knowledge, stood there looking completely dumbfounded.
He stared at the beautiful woman in green, whose eyes were shining with excitement and whose smile was so wide it looked almost radiant.
Just as he was about to ask what she meant—
“Cough.”
Another figure appeared beside him.
It was the dignified Elder Yu.
Now standing between the two beautiful elders, Li Feng blinked again, his mind momentarily blank.
Yu Lianru glanced at Li Feng, then at the overly excited Qing Lianhua, before speaking calmly, her voice serene and composed.
“Disciple Li, could you follow us for a moment ? We would like to discuss something with you.”
Li Feng frowned slightly. It wasn’t that he minded the sudden request—but there was a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard her voice somewhere before.
Before he could think too deeply about it, Qing Lianhua interrupted his thoughts by grabbing his hand.
“Hehe~ Come with us, my disciple. I even prepared a gift for you!”
Feeling the softness of her hand and seeing her beautiful face up close, Li Feng let out a quiet sigh.
’Well… let’s see what’s going on.’
He decided to follow them and find out what this was all about.
Li Feng turned and said goodbye to Wang Chen before following the two beautiful elders—
—or rather, being dragged along by the hand by Elder Qing.

They soon arrived at a quiet pavilion carved directly into the ship’s upper deck.
Spiritual runes pulsed faintly along its pillars, sealing the space from prying senses and isolating it from the rest of the ship.
Only after they entered did Qing Lianhua finally release Li Feng’s hand and move to sit beside Yu Lianru.
Li Feng flexed his fingers slightly, unconsciously missing the lingering warmth.
Elder Yu waved her sleeve, and a translucent barrier instantly formed around the pavilion.
Only then did she turn her calm, composed gaze fully toward him.
“Disciple Li,” Yu Lianru said softly, “you must be wondering why we wanted to speak with you, correct?”
Li Feng sat down opposite them and nodded hesitantly.
“…Yes. Please enlighten me, Elder.”
Yu Lianru studied him carefully.
His youthful face.
His steady, powerful aura.
And most importantly….his cultivation realm.
A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes at the changes she sensed within Li Feng.
’…Did I truly pick up a hidden gem?’
The thought stirred something deep within her.
Anticipation…no, even a trace of greed slowly crept into her heart.
’A cultivation genius… and possibly an alchemy genius as well.’
The mere idea made her almost eager to slap the faces of the sect master and those old coots who had mocked her endlessly over the years.
Suppressing her excitement, Yu Lianru smiled faintly, maintaining her dignified appearance and spoke.
“Actually, I noticed your extraordinary potential in alchemy for a long while now. And I want to help you walk further on the path of alchemy. That is why I wish for you to become Elder Qing’s personal disciple.”
She gestured calmly toward the woman beside her.
“This is Qing Lianhua. You may address her as Elder Qing. She is one of the foremost master alchemists in our Azure Moon Sect.”
Qing Lianhua leaned forward eagerly, her hands slamming lightly onto the table causing her ample breasts rising and falling slightly with her excitement.
“Yes! Once you study under me, I’ll make sure you succeed and become a master alchemist!”
Li Feng blink and finally understood the situation.
’Ah… to think I even caught the attention of an elder. It seems I really am amazing.’
He praised himself inwardly, then glanced at the two beautiful women before him.
Desire quietly crept into his heart.
But mixed within those thoughts was also a sense of admiration.
Li Feng had never expected a sect to be this good…to willingly and actively try to help a disciple like him advance.
If he had been an obvious genius, he wouldn’t have been surprised. Yet judging from Elder Yu’s words, it seemed she had already paid attention to him back when he was still a nobody.
….Of course, Li Feng didn’t know that Elder Yu’s true intention was simply to wash away her dark history.
’It seems I’ll have to return the favor for their goodwill…’
A grin slowly formed in Li Feng’s heart.
’And I’ll return it properly… double, on the bed. Hehe.’
In the past, he had been a nobody, someone who wouldn’t even dare entertain improper thoughts toward such powerful elders.
But now?
With his strength and growing confidence… the idea no longer felt impossible.
And the chance has already presented itself.
He thought of the disciple arrangement.
Though he had heard rumors about Elder Qing’s… teaching abilities, truthfully speaking, he could become a master alchemist with a single thought if he wished.
He didn’t need anyone to teach him.
But when his eyes landed on Elder Qing’s voluptuous figure and on those godly curves—
Li Feng smiled and bowed respectfully.
“This is truly a great opportunity. Please allow this disciple to greet Master.”
Yu Lianru nodded in satisfaction, her smile widening slightly.
She understood how tempting the status of a personal disciple was.
Then she coughed softly, apologizing inwardly.
Li Feng probably doesn’t know about Qing Lianhua’s reputation…
Even though her ability to teach cultivation was… lacking, Yu Lianru knew very well that Qing Lianhua’s talent in alchemy was genuine.
Even the sect master himself hoped that she could one day break through from a master alchemist and become a Rank-3 alchemist within a hundred years.
Qing Lianhua beamed brightly upon hearing Li Feng call her “Master.”
“Hehe~ I finally have a personal disciple,” she said happily, cupping her cheek.
After so many years, she had finally managed to take in her first personal disciple.
It wasn’t her fault.
Most disciples of the Azure Moon Sect focused on cultivation and combat rather than the alchemy path and she truly wasn’t good at imparting cultivation enlightenment.
That was why, until now, she hadn’t managed to take in a single personal disciple.
So when Yu Lianru suggested that she take in a personal disciple, one who also walked the path of alchemy , she agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Watching this mature woman with such a shapely figure act so childishly, Li Feng felt his heart thump slightly.
Still, he maintained the expression of an earnest, excited disciple dreaming of a bright future.
Yu Lianru and Qing Lianhua both smiled at the sight.
Especially Qing Lianhua, who believed she had finally found a good disciple.
…They had no idea—
That they had just invited a wolf into their own house

After bowing politely and bidding farewell to the two beautiful elders, Li Feng who was silently enduring the fire in his heart, hurried back toward the main deck.
After asking around for a bit, he learned that each top disciple had been assigned a private room.
And it didn’t take long before he found Yue Lan’s.
Knock.
Knock.
The door soon opened, revealing Yue Lan’s usually cold expression.
But her face softened slightly the moment she realized it was Li Feng.
“Ah… I was just about to go find you—mm~”
Her words were cut short as Li Feng suddenly leaned down, pulling her into his arms and sealing her lips with a firm kiss.
Caught completely off guard, Yue Lan froze for a brief moment before instinctively gripping his robe.
Soon,
Li Feng’s broad figure stepped inside, and with a smooth motion as he closed the door behind them
