717- Falling Sky Valley_ 1

“Warden Xiong will be here shortly. Please wait for a while.” The disciple smiled and said.

“Warden Xiong? Is his name Xiong Feng?” Ye Qingtang suddenly asked.

“Yes.”

Ye Qingtang had spent quite a long time at the Falling Sky Valley in her previous life. Xiong Feng, warden Xiong, was someone she knew…

Ye Qingtang smiled secretly. Things would be much easier if the man was Xiong Feng.

Within a short while, a tall middle-aged man with a full beard came over. The patrolling disciples stepped forward when they saw him. They introduced Ye Qingtang and then continued with their patrolling duties.

Xiong Feng stared at the pretty young man in front of him. His eyes were filled with patience, and he said, “Why do you come to the Falling Sky Valley?”

“I am Ye Chen, and I want to enter the Falling Sky Valley as a disciple,” Ye Qingtang said directly.

When she just finished her words, Xiong Feng’s face was extremely impatient. He sized up the young man in front of him and waved his hand. “There’s still half a month’s time to the assessment time for new disciples who wish to enter the Falling Sky Valley. Why do you come so early? Go back and wait. Come here after half a month.”

Xiong Feng then intended to leave as he felt irritated. He was still thinking about why the disciples asked him to come out, but he did not expect that it was for this young man who wished to enter the Falling Sky Valley.

A smile flashed across Ye Qingtang’s eyes as she saw Xiong Feng about to leave. She immediately took out a bottle of elixirs from her space ring and stepped forward.

“Please wait, Warden Xiong.”

“Did I not tell you to come back in half a month? What do you still want…” Xiong Feng turned his head impatiently, but he suddenly saw Ye Qingtang handing over a bottle of elixirs to him.

Xiong Feng’s eyes flickered. He stopped and stared at Ye Qingtang with hesitation.

“This is…”

Ye Qingtang smiled and passed the elixirs to Xiong Feng. “Warden Xiong, this is the Luyuan Pill. It’s very expressive to strengthen your body and your strength. Please accept it.”

“Luyuan Pill?” Xiong Feng’s eyes brightened. He focused on the physique in cultivation and required elixirs. He had heard of the Luyuan Pill before. It was very rare, and normal elixir workshops were not able to refine it. There was supply from a few super sects only. It could be considered a rare and priceless item.

Xiong Feng did not believe Ye Qingtang’s words instantly. He opened the bottle and sniffed. As the fragrance entered his nose, his eyes were brighter.

It’s really the Luyuan Pill?

Xiong Feng held the elixirs in his hand. As he raised his eyes and looked towards Ye Qingtang again, the impatience disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

“Ye Chen, right? How can I accept such things?” Though that was what he said, Xiong Feng had kept the Luyuan Pill in his pockets as he spoke.

Ye Qingtang’s eyes were filled with a smile as she saw Xiong Feng’s move.

The easiest person who could be bribed in the Falling Sky Valley would be warden Xiong. Though he was tall and strong, he was keen on gaining petty advantages.

“Ye Chen, I can feel your determination to enter the Falling Sky Valley. Since the mountains here are hard to climb and there’s only half a month left till the assessment, I shall arrange a place for you to stay outside the valley. You’ll stay there for half a month and join the rest of the candidates after half a month.” Xiong Feng’s tone was much gentler.

718- Falling Sky Valley_ 2

Wait for half a month?

Ye Qingtang did not have time to waste here. Furthermore, the Falling Sky Valley’s assessment was very complex. There would be more trouble if she had to go through the assessment.

Ye Qingtang said immediately, “I’m very determined today. May I know whether I can enter first…”

Xiong Feng frowned slightly. However, before he could say anything, Ye Qingtang suddenly took out a pair of boxing gloves.

The gloves were made of unknown material, but it was shining under the light, making it extremely eye-catching.

Xiong Feng opened his eyes wide as he saw the gloves.

“Scorching Sun Gloves?!” Xiong Feng recognized the gloves instantly.

The Scorching Sun Gloves were made of pure gold, an extremely rare material. Even the Falling Sky Valley might only have a few weapons made of that.

The Scorching Sun Gloves would take half a year for forging masters. The price one had to pay a blacksmith would be unimaginable, not mentioning the price of the pure gold.

Xiong Feng had seen one of the Tiangang Sect elders wearing the Scorching Sun Gloves before. His fist was able to break mountains and overturn rivers. The power was insane. He longed for that all the time. However, the Scorching Sun Gloves were priceless. Even if he had the money, he would not be able to find one. Furthermore… he did not have that amount of money…

Xiong Feng’s sight was immediately fixed on that pair of Scorching Sun Gloves.

Xiong Feng’s reaction was totally captured by Ye Qingtang. A smile flashed across her eyes, and she handed the gloves over to Xiong Feng.

“I have heard that your Eight Direction fist techniques are outstanding. As people say, heroes must be paired with the best swords. I think this pair of Scorching Sun Gloves match with your fist techniques well.” Ye Qingtang smiled and said.

Xiong Feng held the pair of Scorching Sun Gloves, and his heartbeat accelerated. He thought that the Luyuan Pill that Ye Chen gave him was precious enough; however… he even had the Scorching Sun Gloves for him.

“This… This is inappropriate…” Xiong Feng held the Scorching Sun Gloves tightly, but he was still being polite on his words.

“The Scorching Sun Gloves are only suitable for a strong person like you. If they fall into normal people’s hands, their potential will not be expressed as well.” Ye Qingtang threw out a lot of pretty words that made Xiong Feng feel contended.

The Luyuan Pill and the Scorching Sun Gloves were precious, but Ye Qingtang did not feel pity for them at all.

She acquired these things from the disciples’ corpses in the Hell of Avicinaraka. Besides these two, she still had many precious things from all the sects in her space ring.

Ye Qingtang really gained a lot from the Hell of Avicinaraka. People would be surprised by any few that Ye Qingtang took out.

“Then I’ll accept them.” Xiong Feng smiled and said. He kept the Scorching Sun Gloves, and his sight was getting ‘gentler’.

“Young Brother, I see that you are in a rush. I will help you to ask the elders in the valley. If you have the ability, it should not be a problem for you to enter early.” Xiong Feng was easily convinced after receiving such heavy presents. Furthermore… he guessed that Ye Chen came from some renowned family clan. If not, he would not be able to offer such treasures like the Luyuan Pill and the Scorching Sun Gloves.

719- Falling Sky Valley_3

Since he was a disciple from a big family clan, his foundation should be pretty good.

Ye Qingtang looked at Xiong Feng’s blissful expression, and her smile deepened.

Indeed, Xiong Feng’s character was exactly the same as in her previous life. As long as he was fed fully, it was much more convenient for him to do things.

Ye Qingtang immediately said, “Thank you, Warden Xiong. May I trouble you to refer me to the Valley Master please?”

“What?” Xiong Feng was excited over the two treasures at hand but could not help but be shaken when he heard Ye Qingtang.

“You want to meet the Valley Master? Why?”

Ye Qingtang said, “Truth to be told, I’ve long heard about the current acting Valley Master of Falling Sky Valley, Perfected Xuanchen, and have looked up to him for a long time. If I can become Perfected Xuanchen’s disciple, it will be my honor.”

This time, Xiong Feng could not smile anymore.

“Little brother, this is a little hard already. Our Valley Master has not accepted a disciple for many years. Even if you look up to him, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to get what you want.”

Xiong Feng originally thought that Ye Qingtang merely wanted to enter Falling Sky Valley as soon as possible; thus, he agreed to her request. Given Ye Qingtang’s situation, there should not be any problem in gaining an Elder’s approval and be permitted to enter the valley.

Yet, unexpectedly…

The person she wanted as her Master was actually their acting Valley Master, Perfected Xuanchen!

Ever since their old Valley Master was heavily injured and was recuperating, Perfected Xuanchen became their acting Valley Master, and his position in Falling Sky Valley was naturally different from before. Moreover, he had not accepted a disciple for many years, and many geniuses who wanted to become Perfected Xuanchen’s disciple were all rejected.

“Little brother, it’s best if you don’t think about that. It’s alright as long as you enter Falling Sky Valley, but as for our Valley Master… you can forget about it.” Xiong Feng accepted many things from Ye Qingtang and could only persuade her instead of being too tough.

However, Ye Qingtang had made up her mind long ago. The purpose of coming to Falling Sky Valley was to become a disciple under Perfected Xuanchen.

She did not say anything and retrieved an armor from her space ring straightforwardly.

Once that armor was taken out, Xiong Feng was giddy by the sight.

It was a dark green armor with golden fine lines all over the armor which sparkled under the sunlight, extremely eye-catching.

Xiong Feng could not notice anything else at that moment as he was in a daze by the shining armor.

“Golden Moon… Armor…” Xiong Feng naturally heard of the name of this armor before. If the Scorching Sun Gloves was a valuable treasure, this Golden Moon Armor could only be described as rare.

“Do you like this Golden Moon Armor, Warden Xiong?” Ye Qingtang said with a smile as she watched Xiong Feng’s reaction in satisfaction.

“Yes… Of course I like it…” Xiong Feng nodded repeatedly and was only short of gluing his eyes on that armor.

“If you can refer me to the Valley Master, regardless of whether the Valley Master is willing to accept me as a disciple, this Golden Moon Armor can be considered as a fee for your hard work,” Ye Qingtang said generously.

Xiong Feng was about to tear up from the agitation. He had only seen this Golden Moon Armor in paintings and had never thought that he could lay his hands on it.

It was only possible for such a treasure to be possessed by someone at an Elder level, and a warden like him did not even have to think about it.

What exactly is this fellow’s background?

First the Luyuan Pill.

Then the Scorching Sun Gloves.

And now, even the Golden Moon Armor is out?!

Could she be Ouyang Family Clan Master’s illegitimate child?
