Swoosh—
Just as Gu Feng was filled with confusion, a banner suddenly unfurled: "Welcome Qu Yanran's ex, [Gu Feng], to the Sunset Glow Sect."
The moment this banner appeared, the eyes of all those participating in the entrance examination instantly gathered in one direction.
"So, he's Gu Feng, no wonder he's so strong."
"Someone who was engaged to Qu Yanran can't possibly be an ordinary person."
"Losing to him is no shame!"
Qu Yanran was very famous among this year's examinees, and almost everyone had heard of her name.
The entanglement between her and Gu Feng had also become a topic of much discussion.
Those prodigies who had been beaten and extorted yesterday suddenly felt much more balanced in their hearts. Losing to the ex-brother was not shameful, after all, the other party was also a prominent figure.
Pfft—
Gu Feng's eyelids twitched, and he silently spat out a mouthful of blood in his heart. Whose brilliant idea was this? It's so damn bizarre.
Just as he was about to ask the person beside him about the dancing and singing, a graceful figure slowly walked over.
Her smooth, shiny black hair, flawless face with a lazy smile, and an alluring aura emanating from her entire body, she was like a ripe honey peach.
Seeing her approach, the outer sect disciples' eyes gleamed, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"On behalf of all the members of the Jade Maiden Sect, I warmly welcome ex-Junior Brother to the Sunset Glow Sect."
A magnetic voice sounded in his ears, and Gu Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This extremely seductive woman was truly a genius, actually calling him 'ex-Junior Brother' and putting on such a bizarre show.
If it were someone else, they might have been at a loss, but who was Gu Feng? He was a young man who had undergone nine years of compulsory education and had been ravaged by the 996-work schedule.
TL/N: The 996-work schedule is a work culture in China where employees work from 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week (i.e., 72 hours per week).
In terms of social experience alone, he could instantly surpass everyone present.
"Same to you, same to you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including the mature woman, was slightly stunned, not knowing where Gu Feng's 'same to you' came from.
"Ex-Junior Brother, I wonder what there is to be happy about?"
"I became the ex, so you have a chance now, right? Hence, I congratulated you!" As he spoke, he even threw a flirtatious glance at the mature woman, full of provocation.
The surroundings became quiet, the singing and dancing stopped, and the outer sect elders above widened their eyes.
Gu Feng's courage was not ordinary; he actually dared to flirt with her!
Giggle giggle—
"What an interesting little brother, do you want to become my current?" The mature woman laughed heartily, her laughter blooming like flowers.
Gu Feng's gaze moved downward, scanning the other party's chest, and he curled his lips, "Sister, what's your name?"
"She's the sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect, the fifth inner sect disciple, Chu Youhuan. This woman is not to be trifled with, don't have contact with her." Yan Xixi seemed to know her and whispered in Gu Feng's ear.
"Little sister, speaking like this won't make you live long!" Chu Youhuan narrowed her eyes, two dark lights flashing, and reached out to pinch the latter's face, scaring Yan Xixi into jumping back and hiding behind Gu Feng.
"If you have any difficulties in the outer sect in the future, go to the Jade Maiden Sect, they will take care of you." Chu Youhuan dropped a sentence, twisted her waist, and left.
"Great, so I can walk sideways in the outer sect, right? By the way, can you have your Jade Maiden Sect cover my food and accommodation?"
A slightly excited voice came from behind, and Chu Youhuan's eyelids twitched, a beautiful curve forming at the corner of her mouth. This ex of Qu Yanran's was quite interesting.
Originally, her actions were just to annoy Qu Yanran, but now, she suddenly had a bit of interest in Gu Feng. This man was different.
After the group of singing and dancing female cultivators left, Elder Liu above coughed lightly, "All unrelated personnel, please leave. The Sunset Glow Sect's entrance examination is about to begin."
Hearing this, Gu Feng raised his outer sect disciple token to the crowd, puffed out his chest, and stepped forward.
"Everyone, do well in the examination, bring out your full potential. I, this specially recruited outer sect disciple of the Sunset Glow Sect, look forward to becoming your fellow disciple."
Under the speechless gazes of everyone, Gu Feng slowly walked up to the viewing platform, stood beside Elder Liu, his face full of overflowing superiority. He looked down, and anyone who didn't know would think he was the outer sect's senior brother.
Damn this specially recruited outer sect disciple, pulling strings so openly, you're really a genius.
Elder Liu on the viewing platform glanced at the strange man standing proudly beside him, his mouth twitching slightly, and he spoke loudly to the crowd below, "This examination is divided into three rounds... The first place in the three rounds will receive a reward of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and a mortal high-grade weapon..."
Holy crap, there are rewards for the outer sect examination? Just the 100,000 low-grade spirit stones alone are exaggerated, not to mention the weapon and pills. How much money would that be in total?
Gu Feng was not calm, he took a step forward and solemnly said to Elder Liu, "It's not good to have special treatment, I want to participate in the entrance examination."
"Shut up!"
"Alright, don't get excited, just saying." Gu Feng was depressed in his heart, having lost an opportunity to earn money.
After all the examinees' identities were verified and they entered the assessment formation, Elder Liu instructed the other elders beside him a few words, then beckoned to Gu Feng, "Come with me."
Immediately after, Elder Liu rode a divine rainbow, soaring into the sky, bringing Gu Feng into the outer sect.
As they traveled above, looking down, Gu Feng discovered that the Sunset Glow Sect's outer sect was huge, at least two or three times the size of Cloud Dwelling City.
Pavilions and towers, spirit springs gushing, fragrant medicine gardens, towering ancient trees with demons and beasts occasionally appearing, all demonstrating the demeanor of a great sect.
Groups of disciples could be seen everywhere, some sitting cross-legged, some practicing martial arts, some listening to lectures, the atmosphere of cultivation was very intense.
Soon after, the two landed and entered the Hall of Elders.
"Gu Feng, how's the outer sect?"
"One word, awesome." Gu Feng said excitedly.
Elder Liu rolled his eyes, this kid always spoke so strangely.
"After entering the inner sect, don't worry about Qu Yanran dealing with you, she probably won't have the time. Even if she wants to make a move, I'm not just for show, her hand can't reach that far."
Elder Liu's first sentence gave Gu Feng a reassurance.
"The outer sect is a place where the weak are prey to the strong, remember one thing, don't cause any deaths..."
The situation in the outer sect was similar to what Gu Feng had guessed, survival of the fittest is the law of social survival, and the sect also encourages competition, as it can filter out excellent disciples.
Next, Elder Liu talked about the structure of the outer sect and some rules. Gu Feng listened carefully, as it was related to his safety for a long time in the future. More importantly, he wanted to see if there were any loopholes in the outer sect rules that he could exploit to earn money by walking on the edge.
This talk lasted nearly an hour.
"Elder Liu, what exactly is my physique?" Gu Feng finally asked the question in his heart.
Elder Liu chuckled, with a look that said 'you can't hold back after all', "Your physique is very special, it's not good to spread it around."
"Was it in ancient times that this physique once wreaked havoc in the world, and there are many enemies in the world?" Gu Feng's heart stirred as he asked, his mind conjuring up images of being an enemy of the world, fighting bloody battles everywhere, feeling both excited and anxious.
"You're overthinking it. I told you not to publicize your physique because I'm afraid you'll be looked down upon, affecting your state of mind!
If you're not afraid of being ridiculed, then forget what I said, feel free to spread it!"
