Azure Clod Sect, Main Peak!
"Hey! Why are the elders heading to the main hall in a hurry? Did something happen?" a disciple inquired curiously.
"I don't know, but it seems the sect master is summoning them," another disciple replied with a frown.
"Look, isn't that Hu Tian? He is also going to the main hall!" someone exclaimed, pointing at the figure of an eighteen-year-old young man with long red hair and red eyes.
"He is a genius; moreover, his grandfather is the friend of the founding sect master, so it makes sense for him to go follow his father there," someone explained, his gaze fixed on the gates of the main hall.
Suddenly, their attention was drawn to the sky as three figures descended gracefully. Two of them were otherworldly beauties, while the third was a handsome young man who gave bearing of immortality.
There were also female disciples on the peak, and when they saw the young man, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide with shock.
"I am dying; he is too handsome!"
"Yeah, I want to sleep with him, even if it's just for one night!"
"You bitch! Don't dream he is mine!"
"Humph, look at your face first. Do you think you are even worthy to stand beside him?"
The female disciple's exclaimed and started to bicker with each other, their eyes never leaving Ye Chen.
The male disciples were also affected by Ye Chen's handsomeness; it was just too much that they even forgot about the two beauties beside him.
Of course, it wasn't love but jealousy and hatred.
"Why do I feel like killing him? even if I don't have enmity within us."
"I am the same too; maybe he is the son of the demon, and heaven is ordering us to clean up the evil."
"Yeah, it must be there's no way someone this handsome can be born without any evil."
The male disciples commented with resentment.
Some even started to think of really killing him because he was too handsome, and the female disciples they were pursuing after were talking about sleeping with him even if it was for just one night.
"Hey, look, he is holding the hands of the girl, and why does she look familiar?" a disciple asked with a puzzled look.
"Are you an idiot? She is the personal disciple of sect master; didn't you see her at the recruiting ceremony today?" another disciple replied with disdain.
The female disciples, too, noticed this, and their faces twisted with jealousy.
'It should've been me, not her!' they all thought with remorseful expressions.
However, no one dared to say anything because they were afraid of getting disliked by Ye Chen.
This situation made the male disciples grind their teeth in anger. However, except looking at him coldly, they couldn't do anything.
'Hehe, it seems I am a bit too handsome for them,' Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle as he saw everyone's reactions.
However, there was no fear in his eyes but excitement.
'It will be fun to fight them all at once,' he thought to himself, wondering how great that chaos will be.
Li Mei, however, was not like him. She was very anxious as she felt the devouring gazes of female disciples on her.
Subconsciously, she couldn't help but grip Ye Chen's hand firmly while following behind him like an obedient child.
She really wanted to go back and live on the mountain alone, but alas, there was no going back now as they finally reached their destination, the main hall.
'It's quite grand and similar to traditional buildings from Blue Planet,' Ye Chen muttered in his heart as he continued to follow Zhen Yunqi.
Inside the main hall, about twenty middle-aged men and women stood on both sides, leaving the middle path open, which led to the imposing golden platform.
The middle-aged men and women were all sect elders and important ones at that.
When they noticed that Zhen Yunqi brought her disciple and an unfamiliar figure, their expression shifted subtly.
They had already seen Li Mei, so she didn't attract too much attention; however, for Ye Chen, it was a different matter.
Just like those disciples outside, the elders were all stunned at his immortal bearing and out-of-the world handsomeness.
Nevertheless, their expression soon returned to normal, and they calmly waited for Zhen Yunqi to explain.
However, this was not the case of Hu Tian, whose eyes were filled with killing intent.
'Why is Li Mei with that basterd?' he shouted inwardly, clenching his fists with anger.
Today was the recruiting disciple ceremony and the servant selection as well.
Li Mei wasn't here to become a disciple, but a servant, and he was present there at that time.
When he first saw her otherworldly beauty, he was stunned and immediately used his identity to assign her under his name in secret.
However, the next moment an elder appeared and asked her to take the spiritual root test.
After which she was found with high talent and alarmed Zhen Yunqi, who later took her as a personal disciple.
Hu Tian was angry at this, but he didn't say anything as he was still able to court her inside the sect.
But not even a half day passed, and he found her holding the hand of another man who was more handsome than him. How could he feel good?
'This vile woman!' he cursed inwardly, glancing at Li Mei with a cold look.
Li Mei noticed the hostility in his eyes and became confused, wondering why he was looking at her that way.
She didn't know that Hu Tian had selected her as a personal servant because the elder who did this was close to him, and he helped to hide this fact from everyone, even the sect master.
Just as Li Mei was lost in thought, she suddenly felt warmth on her head and discovered it was Ye Chen who was patting her like a kid, moreover in front of everyone.
However, he didn't say anything to her and looked at Hu Tian with a smirk.
In his previous life there was one thing he was very good at, and that was courting death without any reason.
He really liked to poke into the hornet's nest wherever he saw one, and now watching there was one here, he couldn't control his itch to provoke it.
"These days dogs don't have brains; they piss everywhere and look wherever they want, not knowing their death might be just near because of leaving their brains at home," he said with a sigh, while looking at Hu Tian with disdain.
