Fairy Youyue nodded and gave an order: "Qiong Xue! You accompany the deputy sect leader to go around and pick spiritual herbs!"
"Yes!" Elder Qiong Xue, who was guarding Shuixuan Gao, responded.
Ye Ling came down from the high pavilion and saw that Qiong Xue was still cold towards him. He was very unhappy. However, due to the fairy's instructions, he had to go with him and deliberately kept a long distance from him.
Seeing that she was very wary, Ye Ling asked curiously: "I see that Elder Leng Ju and Zixuan often serve the fairy in her daily life! Do you think they are the fairy's maids?"
Qiong Xue did not hide anything from him, and nodded in response: "That's right! These two little girls have been serving fairies since they were young! Otherwise, if they were to be ordinary female disciples in Youyue Fairy Sect, they would be able to practice It’s even difficult to reach the golden elixir stage! This is because the fairies favored them and provided them with a lot of resources for cultivating immortals, so they have been trained to this point!"
Ye Ling suddenly realized that this also confirmed his guess. It seemed that the fairy treated Leng Ju and Zixuan well. Although the relationship was between master and servant, she still took good care of them.
No wonder Zixuan accepted him as her teacher without the fairy's consent, so the fairy was displeased, thinking that Zixuan's elbow was bent outward.
But Ye Ling was still very curious. He looked at the cold and arrogant Qiong Xue and asked, "What about you? You have never served a fairy before. It seems that you are not a fairy's maid. You must be an outstanding member of the Youyue Fairy Sect. Is your female disciple deeply valued by the fairy?"
Qiongxue said coldly: "To tell you the truth, my name is Feng Qiongxue! I am also a member of the Feng clan. Although I am a distant branch, after all, I am still the fairy's cousin and her playmate since childhood! What can I do? Will she be a maid for her? It’s just that the ancestor asked me to protect the fairy and help her manage the Youyue Fairy Sect. As for her food and daily life, it’s not my turn to personally serve her!”
When Ye Ling heard this, he suddenly realized!
It turns out that Qiongxue is also from the lineage of Fengyao Immortal. When they first met, Ye Ling didn't pay close attention to it. But now, looking closely, Qiongxue does have some similarities with Youyue Fairy Feng Cailing!
He just looks cold as ice, unsmiling, and quite reserved, keeping strangers away from him.
Ye Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I see, that's disrespectful! By the way, have you ever been to the forbidden area of Youyue Immortal Sect? With your identity, you must know where it is!"
Feng Qiongxue nodded: "Youyue Valley is the shrine of the ancestor of our Feng family! The fairy had discussed with me before, and I was opposed to letting you, an outsider, go to Youyue Valley! But she insisted. So, now that you have also gone to Youyue Valley and come back safe and sound, you must be our ancestor, so let you go!"
Ye Ling could only smile bitterly: "No wonder! Ahem, Immortal Fengyao recognized me and asked me to take good care of your cousin! This time we are going to Beihuang, if you don't come with us, I must have done it for you. Sister, I’m guarding Youyue Immortal Sect!”
Feng Qiongxue listened to what he said and nodded, but still said angrily: "Since the ancestor has recognized you, I have nothing to say! In short, you and I must try our best to assist the fairy. Originally, this deputy sect leader The position belongs to me sooner or later, but you have interfered and you are ranked above me. It is simply unreasonable!"
Now, Ye Ling finally understood that this was where Feng Qiongxue's dissatisfaction with him came from! It was he who came from behind and occupied the position of deputy sect leader of Youyue Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, the deputy sect leader of Youyue Immortal Sect must be Feng Qiongxue. There is no doubt about this. Whether it is Feng Qiongxue's cultivation level or her origins, they are all there. Even in private, she has to call Fairy. elder sister.
Ye Ling secretly sighed. It seemed that Fairy Youyue's cousin was indeed arrogant and had a strong ambition for fame and fortune. She believed that Ye Ling had robbed her of the deputy sect leader that should have belonged to her! I'm afraid that in Feng Qiongxue's mind, Youyue Immortal Sect is the property of her Feng clan, and it would be very inappropriate for an outsider to be the deputy sect leader.
Sure enough, Feng Qiongxue frowned again and said: "However, I see that you are quite accomplished in the art of alchemy, which has greatly shocked the reputation of Youyue Immortal Sect. Now that you have been recognized by the ancestor, I will I reluctantly accept you as the deputy sect master! But the ugly words are coming to the forefront, if you want to boss me around like you did with Zixuan, and entrust me with any tasks, I will not submit to your control!"
Ye Ling said coquettishly: "That's natural! Just don't worry, I, the deputy sect leader, was also randomly assigned by the fairy. I can't take it seriously! Besides, I'm very good to Zixuan! I taught her this again, and Whoever taught her that lived up to the name of master."
Feng Qiongxue snorted coldly: "That's because she is stupid! Although a teacher does not have to be more virtuous than a disciple, I am not interested in alchemy, and I will not worship you as my teacher regardless of her! Don't treat me like a junior. and my subordinates look down upon me!"
"Yes!" Ye Ling didn't argue with her. After all, her ancestor was Feng Yao, so she was naturally proud of it.
In addition, Feng Qiongxue has been under the shadow of Fairy Youyue for a long time, and all the light has been exclusively enjoyed by Fairy Youyue Feng Cailing. Who will care about her, Feng Qiongxue! So over time, people will become extra sensitive.
But Ye Ling was very curious about the Feng clan and asked: "I heard from the Immortal Feng Yao that although your Feng clan has gone through thousands of years, your population is not prosperous and is declining day by day. I thought Fairy Youyue was... We come from the same line, I didn’t expect that there would be a side branch girl like you.”
Because her ancestor recognized Ye Ling, Feng Qiongxue did not shy away from him. She deliberately showed off her family background in front of him and said: "Although our Feng family is not prosperous, we are spreading our branches and leaves in the vast land of Jiuli. There are still quite a few clan members! Just because our ancestor is a female immortal, the exercises we practice are only suitable for female cultivators, so throughout the ages, our Feng clan has valued girls over boys!"
"But there are extremely talented clan girls who were selected by the ancestors before they even had Taoist companions. This is also the main reason why our Feng clan is not prosperous."
Ye Ling nodded slightly: "So that's it! If it were another great cultivating immortal family, with thousands of years of inheritance, and the blessing of the immortal, the family would be so prosperous! Your Feng family is indeed special. .”
Feng Qiongxue said proudly: "Among the Feng clan, Fairy's bloodline is more pure than mine, and her talent is higher, but if you really want to talk about it, even she and I are considered to be side branches of the Feng clan, not a real direct bloodline! It’s just that her talent is high and she is valued by the ancestors, so she focuses on cultivating her!”
"Both she and I are still far behind when compared with the direct lineage daughters of the Feng family!"
Ye Ling was startled: "Oh? It turns out that even Fairy Youyue Feng Cailing is not considered a direct daughter of the clan, but there is someone more talented than her? So where is the real direct daughter of the Feng clan now? Could it be that his cultivation has already transformed him into a god!"
