Chapter 2046: The Holy Son Arrives

Li Jian came to deliver an invitation to Chen Feng, but didn't see anyone, so he felt a bit regretful.

He also wanted to pat Chen Feng's horse, hoping Chen Feng would help him say a few kind words in front of Ye Liuyun.

When he saw the items Chen Feng gave him, he felt even more that he must be extra courteous to Chen Feng.

Qing Yan casually handed him some Seventh Tier pills, and Li Jian already regarded Chen Feng as his great savior.

The best pills he usually takes are only Sixth Tier at most.

But Chen Feng gave him dozens of Seventh Tier pills at once.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun has maids here and a Seventh Tier ferocious beast guardian, so he thought Chen Feng's background must be considerable.

"It must be a capable general under the master; otherwise how could the bloodline test be of white rank!"

He thought that to himself.

In fact those pills were merely substandard products refined by Lin Luoyi.

Qing Yan knew his status and realm, so naturally wouldn't give him anything too good.

Just as Li Jian left, another young man came looking for Chen Feng.

"Excuse me, is Chen Feng here?"

The young man politely asked inside the Side Courtyard.

"Roar!"

The lion‑tiger Beast immediately let out a low growl, sounding a warning.

The young man was startled as well; he hadn't expected Chen Feng to have such a beast of this level.

Qing Yan also rushed out of the room to question him.

"Who are you?

What business do you have with the master?"

"Looks like this kid isn't ordinary! Both a maid and a ferocious beast!"

The young man thought that to himself.

But he immediately adopted a serious tone and said, "Holy Son Fengchen wishes to invite junior brother Chen Feng for a drink.

Please, miss, help convey the message."

Qing Yan had previously worked at Red Luan Pavilion, handling arrivals and departures, and was very experienced in receiving guests.

Through his slight expression change just now, she knew this person was probably

But since she is the Holy Son, she can't be negligent, so she first lets Fengchen into the living room.

But since he is the Holy Son, she couldn't delay, so she let Fengchen enter the main hall first.

"Holy Son, please wait a moment; the master is cultivating, I'll go fetch him."

After arranging Fengchen, Qing Yan went to Ye Liuyun's room to report to him.

Ye Liuyun immediately emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi.

"What do you think of this person?"

"It must be that kind of sweet‑tongued, dagger‑hearted, scheming petty person! Master, don't be fooled by his appearance! He's far more difficult to deal with than that fool Li Jian!"

"He must be the type who is honey‑tongued but dagger‑hearted, scheming! Master, don't be fooled by his appearance! He's far harder to deal with than that fool Li Jian!"

Qing Yan warned Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled, having a sense of the situation, and led

Qing Yan back to the main hall.

The reason he let Qing Yan come out to receive guests was also to assess the newcomer.

"Junior brother Chen Feng has just settled at Profound Heaven Sect, hasn't yet paid respects to the Holy Son, please don't blame him!"

Ye Liuyun smiled while walking, greeting Fengchen warmly.

The title Holy Son not only denotes great strength but also authority to deal with other disciples.

His status even surpasses that of ordinary Elders.

"Junior brother, no need to be formal; we're from the same sect, no need for distance.

I happened to be passing by, so I came to see, sorry for disturbing your cultivation!"

Fengchen immediately stood up, delivering the customary pleasantries.

"Not a disturbance, not a disturbance, the Holy Son can come to my humble abode, I

am so delighted I can hardly respond!"

Ye Liuyun politely replied, invited the Holy Son to sit, then ordered Qing Yan to prepare tea.

After a few idle chats, Fengchen finally got to the point: "Murong Tian has recently called a gathering; have you, junior brother, received the invitation?"

"I just received it not long ago; it was delivered by Holy Son Li Jian! Is the Holy Son here for this matter?"

"I think his invitation to you is mostly to give you a warning blow, then take you under his command to serve him."

Fengchen sighed, explaining to Ye Liuyun: "Alas! You've just arrived at Profound Heaven Sect, you might not yet understand the situation here.

Murong Tian dominates the academy disciples single‑handedly, his word is law, causing widespread resentment.

I think his invitation is mostly to give you a warning, then bring you under his control to serve him."

Ye Liuyun deliberately pretended not to understand and retorted, "Serving the Holy Son isn't something ordinary disciples should do, is it?"

Ye Liuyun suddenly thought, if the First Holy Son Murong Tian truly

dominates the academy, how could he accommodate a second‑tier figure like Fengchen?

Yet Fengchen has consistently held the seat of Second Holy Son.

This can only mean that Fengchen either has a strong background that Murong Tian dares not

take action against, or Fengchen is also Murong Tian's man.

【61】 As for Li Jian's claim about Fengchen confronting Murong Tian, after Ye Liuyun saw Fengchen, he thought Fengchen was not that

【62】 stubborn type.

【63】 He could never

【64】 directly with the First Holy Son

【65】 cause a conflict

【66】 in that way

【67】 Even if he truly wanted to act against Murong Tian, he would choose to endure, waiting for a one‑hit kill opportunity.

【68】 He would never so flamboyantly come here to stir trouble.

【69】 Especially when he is still unfamiliar with Ye Liuyun.

So, Ye Liuyun, when speaking to him, kept an extra guard, not letting him see that he intended to target the First Holy Son's matter.

"Junior disciple, you don't know! That Murong Tian is vicious, his actions ruthless; if disciples slightly disobey, he punishes directly—lightly cutting off hands or feet, severely wiping out talent entirely! Now the whole Profound Heaven Sect knows, and only I can contend with him…"

Fengchen began to denigrate Murong Tian, elevate himself, his ultimate goal nothing but pulling Ye Liuyun into his camp.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun used the Slave Seal to inquire Li Jian about Fengchen's background and past experiences.

"He is the treasured grandson of the Right Prime Minister of the Eastern Kingdom! Because of this, Murong Tian dares not act on him lightly!"

Li Jian replied.

"Is there anyone who has taken refuge with him, to jointly deal with Murong Tian?"

Ye Liuyun continued to ask.

"There are quite a few."

"But those truly targeted by Murong Tian, he cannot protect."

"In the end they all died at Murong Tian's hands!"

Li Jian replied.

He also advised Ye Liuyun: "Junior disciple, heed your senior brother, don't get involved with him."

"In the Profound Heaven Sect, only allying with Murong Tian is the safest!"

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun already had a clear idea.

This Fengchen is either a Holy Son more useless than Li Jian, or already aligned with Murong Tian, outwardly opposing him while Murong Tian uses Fengchen's existence merely to draw out his enemies.

Ye Liuyun understood this, and quietly watched Fengchen's performance.

Fengchen spoke passionately, also lecturing Ye Liuyun with a heap of grand principles.

Yet Ye Liuyun felt his acting was inferior even to Lei Ming.

When he spouted those principles, it wasn't inner excitement but merely tonal variation to appear passionate.

If a young person just left home, lacking experience, they might truly be fooled by him.

"Junior disciple, what have you considered? Want to join us, together oppose Murong Tian?"

Fengchen finally asked Ye Liuyun.

"What the ear hears is false, what the eye sees is real."

"I'll still wait until I see Murong Tian before deciding!"

Ye Liuyun directly refused him.

Indeed, no disappointment flashed in Fengchen's eyes.

Sure enough, there was no sign of disappointment flashing in Fengchen's eyes.
