[Seeing the recommendation letter tossed aside, Lan Lianyan gathered the courage to ask why.]
[Elder Qian Baitong immediately exclaimed, What is this? A recommendation letter with just two words?]
[No signature even. Who gave you the audacity to bring this here?]
[Do you really think anyone and everyone can enter the Mystic Yin Sect?]
[Nowadays, the righteous path has no shame, infiltrating everywhere. Without someone vouching for you, no matter how powerful you are, the Mystic Yin Sect won't accept you.]
[Lan Lianyan immediately looked embarrassed.]
[Was it really unreliable? Lan Lianyan lowered her head slightly and spoke in a low voice: These words were written by the Grand Elder of the Mystic Yin Sect himself.]
[By the end, her voice was barely audible.]
[Clearly, even Lan Lianyan herself didn't believe this statement.]
[Qian Baitong burst into laughter on the spot.]
[What a joke! You say it's written by the Grand Elder, so it must be true?]
[The handwriting doesn't match at all. You might as well say it was written by the Sect Master!]
[Sharp laughter made Lan Lianyan blush.]
[Just as she was feeling ashamed and preparing to leave, Ye Yu suddenly appeared beside her.]
[He softly said to the elder on duty, Perhaps Elder should take another good look. This really is the Grand Elder's personal signature.]
[Heh, you...]
[Elder Qian Baitong was about to mock when suddenly, upon seeing Ye Yu, his face turned pale.]
[He was about to kneel down, but an invisible force sealed his body and mouth.]
[Ye Yu transmitted his voice directly to Qian Baitong's mind, warning him not to reveal his identity, or there would be an empty elder's seat in Mystic Yin Sect.]
[Upon hearing this, Qian Baitong discreetly blinked his eyes.]
[The next moment, he was released from the invisible force.]
[Lan Lianyan looked up at Ye Yu beside her, and using voice transmission, she asked, Why did you come? They already said the handwriting doesn't match. Do you think your presence will change the outcome?]
[Before Lan Lianyan finished speaking, Qian Baitong exaggeratedly said, Indeed, this is without a doubt the handwriting of the Grand Elder.]
[This fairy can join the Mystic Yin Sect right now.]
[Upon hearing this, Lan Lianyan was completely stunned.]
[Looking up, she saw Qian Baitong holding up the paper that had just been thrown aside, wearing a pleasing smile on his face.]
[Such eager attitude was completely different from the previous coldness, leaving Lan Lianyan at a loss.]
[After leaving the guidance hall, Lan Lianyan hadn't completely recovered her senses.]
[Her expression was puzzled, her eyes dazed, making her look even more adorable.]
[Ye Yu was about to speak when suddenly Lan Lianyan stopped in her tracks, her expression changed, and she said in a low voice, Something's not right.]
[Upon hearing these words, Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.]
[Could it be that she noticed something unusual?]
[Lan Lianyan suddenly turned her head and looked seriously at Ye Yu. She said, I noticed that just now, the elder in the guidance hall seemed afraid of you.]
[Considering you've only recently joined the Mystic Yin Sect as an ordinary disciple, why would he fear you?]
[Ye Yu was at a loss for words.]
[Is it Qian Baitong's acting skills that are the problem?]
[Ye Yu's mind raced.]
[He quickly explained, claiming that Qian Baitong was a henpecked husband.]
[Last year, while traveling, Ye Yu coincidentally caught Qian Baitong having an affair with another woman at the foot of the mountain.]
[So just now, he telepathically told Qian Baitong that if Lan Lianyan wasn't allowed to join the Mystic Yin Sect, he would expose this affair.]
[The old man was afraid, so everything went smoothly.]
[After hearing this, Lan Lianyan was deeply moved.]
[She immediately praised Ye Yu for his loyalty and reliability.]
[To help her enter the Mystic Yin Sect, he even dared to threaten an elder, risking his own safety.]
[She admired such spirit and believed it was worth emulating.]
[Thus, Lan Lianyan immediately wanted to send a message to Flower Spirit Mountain to reward Ye Yu.]
[But Ye Yu stopped her.]
[He said that such rewards were unnecessary and could blow their cover; what mattered most was completing the sect's mission.]
[After thinking for a moment, Lan Lianyan agreed that Ye Yu was right and obediently complied.]
[However, the sect's reward is optional, but her personal reward is a must.]
[After all, he had helped her.]
[Shortly after, with a pained expression, Lan Lianyan took out a mandarin duck-shaped pastry from her storage ring and handed it to Ye Yu.]
[Her eyes closed tightly, she seemed reluctant, as if this item were not just a pastry, but a priceless treasure.]
[Ye Yu was perplexed. Wasn't this just an ordinary pastry?]
[After tasting it himself, Ye Yu could confirm that it was indeed just an ordinary pastry, tasty but nothing special.]
[Ye Yu felt speechless. It was just food, wasn't it?]
[Why act as if it was so heartbreaking?]
[Furthermore, Lan Lianyan had already achieved the Integration Realm and didn't need to eat at all.]
[However, Lan Lianyan's response made Ye Yu respect her deeply.]
["In this world, only good food should never be wasted!"]
[The next day, Ye Yu arranged for Lan Lianyan to be placed in the Mystic Yin Sect's Treasure Pavilion.]
[He chose this location because it was the northernmost part of the Mystic Yin Sect, rarely visited by others.]
[Lan Lianyan wouldn't interact with anyone else there, reducing the risk of exposure.]
[Meanwhile, Ye Yu didn't stay idle.]
[He immediately headed to the Celestial Secrets Sect.]
[In this dream realm, he was endowed with a golden talent and knew it since birth.]
[As long as he didn't fall too early, he was destined to become the foremost figure in the entire demonic path.]
[However, astonishingly, the Sect Master of the Celestial Secrets Sect had already predicted this fate.]
[This shows that this person is definitely powerful.]
[Yet, why make such predictions public knowledge?]
[Isn't this purely to bring hatred to me from all corners?]
[It's so ridiculous!]
[On that very day, Ye Yu arrived at the Celestial Secrets Sect and found Wu Suoshi, the current Sect Master, in the main hall of the sect.]
[Upon seeing Ye Yu's arrival, Wu Suoshi was quite surprised.]
[He promptly issued orders to have Ye Yu expelled.]
[The reason given was that the Mystic Yin Sect belonged to the demonic path while the Celestial Secrets Sect upheld the orthodox ways. Throughout history, these two paths never intertwined, necessitating no communication whatsoever.]
[After speaking, Wu Suoshi swept his sleeves and summoned over a dozen elders to assist in escorting Ye Yu out.]
