After Ye Fei's affirmative nod, she left Elder Liu's courtyard with her senior brother.
Two days later, the appointed time arrived.
Ye Fei, having tidied everything up, prepared to depart for the Myriad Weapons Alliance.
Elder Liu had already left earlier to give his lectures.
Ye Fei considered for a moment, left a note, and then set off.
As Ye Fei continued to take a less-traveled path, the guards in their sharp attire and with cold expressions, stationed at the entrance of the Pill Sect, remained unaware of Ye Fei's movements. Kuaishu Pavilion.
"Ye Fei, you've arrived?"
Upon seeing Ye Fei's arrival, Feng Ruoqin couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
"Rest assured, our Myriad Weapons Alliance never engages in unprepared battles. We have prepared plenty of elixirs and hidden weapons, which will surely guarantee our safety!"
"Furthermore, we have also brought along a master alchemist who can provide us with the necessary elixirs at any time!"
These words were meant to put Ye Fei at ease.
Ye Fei's gaze swept over everyone present.
He noticed that many of them cast doubtful glances at him.
Especially seeing his low cultivation level, yet appearing before Feng Ruoqin, their relationship seemed quite close, leading them to dismiss Ye Fei as a kept man.
The most obvious reaction came from the young man with peach blossom eyes.
"Gigolo!"
He glanced at Ye Fei and then uttered the word lightly.
"Alright, is everyone ready?"
"If everyone is ready, proceed to the teleportation array in the backyard!"
The Myriad Weapons Alliance was clearly wealthy, having constructed a teleportation array in their backyard. This array conveniently led to the outer areas of the Myriad Flames Valley.
As the steward, Feng Ruoqin finished speaking, everyone obediently began to walk towards the backyard.
"Ye Fei, this way!"
Feng Ruoqin paid no mind to the surrounding gazes and directly led Ye Fei, walking at the very rear.
The young man with peach blossom eyes, witnessing their interaction, saw his eyes instantly darken, his teeth nearly grinding to dust.
Ye Fei, meanwhile, looked up and cast a casual glance at the man.
Then, he turned his head back, as if he hadn't taken him seriously at all.
To the young man with peach blossom eyes, this was an immense insult!
However, he knew in his heart that this was not a good moment to retaliate.
"We'll see!"
He refused to believe he wouldn't get a chance to teach this brat a lesson!
After a headcount, and with a final command from Feng Ruoqin, the teleportation array was finally activated.
This time, Ye Fei had only two familiar faces beside him.
One was Feng Ruoqin, and the other was an elder from before.
Elder Chen.
He was also a senior elder of the Myriad Weapons Alliance.
The previous day, after Ye Fei had clarified his doubts, it had been a revelation for him, sparking many new ideas regarding hidden weapons.
Consequently, his attitude towards Ye Fei now was unusually amiable.
Feng Ruoqin was already a focal point, and now, along with Ye Fei beside her and Elder Chen smiling obsequiously, they had all become the center of attention.
Everyone found it difficult to comprehend why this young man had garnered Elder Chen's favor.
It was known that Elder Chen was solely dedicated to hidden weapons and had never before taken the initiative to converse with anyone.
Yet, he was now engaging in enthusiastic conversation with this callow youth.
What's more, the roles had reversed.
It was Elder Chen who was enthusiastically conversing, while Ye Fei maintained the demeanor of a detached, knowledgeable master.
Although Ye Fei had joined the Myriad Weapons Alliance, only Feng Ruoqin and a few elders were aware of it; others remained ignorant.
Feng Ruoqin's original intention was to find a formal occasion to announce Ye Fei's identity, thus showcasing her regard for him.
However, upon observing everyone's slightly odd glances at Ye Fei, she suddenly realized.
They probably all mistook Ye Fei for a kept man!
With this thought, Feng Ruoqin immediately shifted her gaze to Ye Fei's face.
Seeing his serene, unfathomable eyes, she finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But letting everyone continue to speculate was not a solution!
After some consideration, Feng Ruoqin decided to seize this opportunity to reveal Ye Fei's true identity, thereby preventing everyone from continuing to cast doubtful glances at him.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
"Allow me to introduce the gentleman beside me!"
Huo!
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears, their gazes becoming sharp and focused.
"This is the newly appointed Elder of our Myriad Weapons Alliance, Elder Ye Fei!"
Huala.
This announcement undoubtedly caused everyone to begin discussing amongst themselves.
The news was simply too surprising!
This young man, estimated to be under twenty-five years old, had become an elder of the Myriad Weapons Alliance – it was almost unbelievable!
Ye Fei was well aware of the surrounding gazes but paid them no mind.
"Everyone, quiet down!"
"As for Elder Ye's strength, it will become apparent after we conclude this mission!"
"At that time, I will announce a significant, explosive piece of news, and everyone will then understand that Elder Ye is truly deserving of his position!"
"Even I am willing to yield to him!"
The crowd generally understood Feng Ruoqin, and anyone capable of earning her sincere admiration could not be an ordinary person.
Therefore, the vast majority of them accepted Feng Ruoqin's words.
They all eagerly awaited the momentous announcement to be made after the mission.
The only one unwilling to concede defeat was the young man with peach blossom eyes.
However, he maintained his composure and offered no objection.
After Ye Fei's introduction, the topic naturally concluded.
It was only after disembarking from the teleportation array that everyone became more vigilant.
As the name suggested, the Myriad Flames Valley was intensely scorching.
Even in the peripheral areas where they had emerged from the teleportation array, they felt a scorching sensation.
Ordinary cultivators would find it impossible to endure such high temperatures.
Fortunately, the alchemists of the Myriad Weapons Alliance could forge a type of heat-insulating apparel, which provided some relief.
However, the forging of this heat-insulating clothing was extremely difficult, and the materials were also rare.
Therefore, on this occasion, there was just enough for everyone to have one set.
Ye Fei did not feel the heat as intensely; in fact, he found it quite comfortable.
However, he did not refuse their kind gesture and directly put on the heat-insulating clothing.
Indeed, it proved to be quite effective!
"Alright, everyone must be cautious and vigilant!"
"Let's go!"
With the command issued, everyone set off together.
Ye Fei remained close to Feng Ruoqin.
This was also due to his unfamiliarity with the route, leaving him with no other choice.
As soon as they entered the Myriad Flames Valley, the temperature rose significantly.
Fortunately, they were all wearing heat-insulating clothing, so the impact was not too great, merely a slight decrease in their speed.
"Wait!"
Just as everyone was about to proceed further, Ye Fei suddenly called out to stop them.
