In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

"Why don't you go and get the outer disciple robes issued by the sect? Did you listen to what the Cloud Mist Sect said and now you look down on this outer disciple status?"

Mengyao casually tossed over a bundle containing white clothing symbolizing outer sect status.

"No, that's not it! No matter what happens to Fengqing Sect, there are still many people here who care about me silently. I would never do something so disloyal!"

"Besides, if my parents were here, they definitely wouldn't let me do this!"

"Besides, with you here, where else can I go?" Fan Tong chuckled at Meng Yao and continued, "What brings you here today? Have you finished fixing your foundation?"

"With the pills given by the sect leader, my foundation has naturally been repaired! Moreover, my cultivation has even increased slightly! Tomorrow is the official celebration day, so I came to see you!"

Mengyao smiled sweetly, which made Fan Tong stare at her in a daze!

"Wow! Who would have thought that the little kid I used to be so brave to protect has grown into such a beautiful young woman? It's amazing!"

Fan Tong was given a disapproving look by Meng Yao, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, saying something with a sigh.

"When you risked your life to save me back then, weren't you afraid?" Mengyao seemed to be taken back to that night she could never forget by Fan Tong's words.

"Fear! Of course I'm afraid! You don't know, I can see the bits of food between the teeth of the wolf closest to me!"

"But there's nothing I can do! Even though we're both four or five years old, I'm still a boy. I can't just watch you get carried off by a wolf right in front of me!"

Fan Tong smiled, seemingly admiring his own courage at the time.

"It's alright, it's just a lone wolf driven out by a pack. If it were a pack, the two of us wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between those beasts' teeth!"

"You can still laugh! I'm really impressed!" Mengyao was also amused by Fan Tong and couldn't help but punch him lightly before immediately hugging him.

"Fan Tong, do you know! I've been cultivating so hard because I want to increase my influence so I can help you change the situation back then! I really, really want to help you, just like you would risk your life for me!"

Hearing Mengyao's slightly tearful voice and feeling the beauty trembling in his arms, Fan Tong gently patted Mengyao's back and softly comforted her.

"Isn't all of this thanks to you? Without your help, how could I have obtained the Dragon Elephant Skill, successfully defeated Yun Zhongyan, and become an outer disciple?"

"Isn't all of this thanks to the help of our Narcissus Fairy Mengyao?"

"Stop trying to make me happy. The humiliation and pain you suffered during that time still breaks my heart when I think about it!"

"Sigh! All that is in the past! Now I can cultivate, and the cultivation speed isn't bad at all! Water Fairy, you'd better work hard, maybe I'll catch up with you in no time!"

"Then you should work hard at your cultivation!" Mengyao raised her head, looking at Fan Tong's determined face, and said in a barely perceptible tone, "If you can catch up with me, then we can officially establish a relationship!"

Fan Tong looked at Meng Yao, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and his heart trembled. He involuntarily lowered his head.

"Senior Sister Mengyao, I'm sorry to disturb you, please continue!" Biluo rushed to the warehouse and saw the two about to do something intimate. She couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands and peek curiously through her fingers, urging them on.

"What's all the fuss about?" Mengyao tried to remain calm, punched Fan Tong in the chest again, and quickly turned to look at Biluo!

"You guys continue! Just pretend I wasn't here, okay?" Biluo was somewhat unsatisfied and regretted her words!

"Looks like you're getting too cocky!" Mengyao said angrily as she charged at Biluo.

"Senior sister, I was wrong! Master is looking for you and wants you to find him quickly. It seems to be about the celebration tomorrow!" Upon seeing this, Biluo finished speaking and quickly ran outside!

Mengyao didn't turn back and chased after him, but no matter how you looked at her back, it gave the impression that she was fleeing in panic.

"Fan Tong! You'd better surpass me in cultivation soon!" Meng Yao shouted as she reached the courtyard gate, then ran away without looking back!

"Don't worry! It'll be quick!" Fan Tong shouted, watching Meng Yao disappear into the distance.

Only when Mengyao's retreating figure could no longer be seen did Fan Tong turn his gaze away, his eyes once again filled with fighting spirit!

"The Profound Spirit Realm? It's not impossible! With the Yama Ancient Sword as an accelerator, I believe I can catch up with you very soon!"

"Then I can protect you again! After we rescue our parents, we can return to Crimson Thunder Ancient City together. That would be a perfect ending!"

Fan Tong imagined his future life and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"But for now, it's best to focus on cultivation, since my situation isn't exactly safe either!"

"After all, dignity lies only in the sword, and truth only in the fist!"

After thinking about it haphazardly for a while, Fan Tong finally calmed down and continued his cultivation.

Tomorrow is the celebration, which has nothing to do with him, but it is very important to Mengyao.

Such a meaningful event naturally required him to stay by Mengyao's side.

Even just standing in a space where Mengyao is within sight would be enough!

While Fan Tong was cultivating, the other four major sects of the Northern Region also arrived at Fengqing Sect in a grand manner.

Under the reception of Elder Dongfang Yaoda, everyone came to the main hall of Fengqing Sect, which was regarded as a pre-celebration meeting.

"Sect Master Feng, it's been a long time! Congratulations on your sect producing another outstanding talent, breaking Elder Dongfang Yao's record! This is truly a cause for celebration!"

Jian Wuhen, the Grand Elder of the Fengjian Sect, the number one sect in the Northern Region, was the first to speak, offering his congratulations to Feng Qingyang.

"Elder Jian Wuhen, you are too kind. I have heard that the Wind Sword Sect is quite prestigious! The growth of the younger generation of disciples is also an honor for our Northern Region!"

Feng Qingyang burst into laughter, then praised the Wind Sword Sect!

Everyone loves a decorated sedan chair!

Sometimes, saying a few kind words isn't a loss for you!

After Feng Qingyang finished speaking, Tong Daoren, the Grand Elder of Mulan Sect who ranked third, and Bing Yu, the Grand Elder of Jueqing Valley who ranked fourth, also offered their congratulations.

As for Haoyang Zhenren, the Grand Elder of the Burning Flame Sect, who ranked second, he remained silent and looked displeased with everything.

Feng Qingyang didn't pay any attention to Haoyang Zhenren's appearance, acting as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, and started chatting with the other major sects.

Meanwhile, in the hall, all the sects that were well-known in the Northern Region started chatting together, all wanting to take this opportunity to connect and build relationships!

After all, the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social interactions!

A simple reception ceremony concluded amidst everyone's lively conversation. As they left the Fengqing Sect's main hall, they patiently awaited the official start of the celebration the following day.

After the other sects left, only Feng Qingzong and Shen Youtu remained in the hall. Shen Youtu immediately stepped forward and said, "Sect Master, something seems amiss!"
