The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

The night is long and many things may happen. Such extraordinary talent, if known to others, will surely attract countless covetous eyes. Although the father and son are not afraid of trouble, it is never good to be coveted by others.

"Um."

Su Zhen responded and then made the arrangements.

"Then you should go and have a good talk with Xue. She has a cold and stubborn personality. In a year or two, he can gradually accept it."

"Also, have her take Ye Feng to handle the matters related to joining the sect tomorrow."

……

The next morning.

Lihuo Peak, Tianxia Academy.

After a night of quiet meditation, Ye Feng felt refreshed and invigorated.

The energy of heaven and earth in the core area of ​​the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is extremely rich, far surpassing that of imperial regions like Tianfeng and Dali. Just one night of meditation and cultivation is equivalent to several days of cultivation in the past.

Under these circumstances, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the mid-stage of the Sword Soul Realm, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to reach the Sword Domain Realm within a year.

"call…"

Ye Feng pushed open the door and stepped out into the courtyard, breathing in the fresh air. He couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for his upcoming life in the sect.

This place can rapidly improve his strength, and just thinking about it is truly exciting.

As Su Zhen said yesterday, his granddaughter would personally come to pick him up today to complete some matters related to entering the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and to familiarize him with the environment of Li Huo Peak.

Just as Ye Feng was pondering, footsteps came from the courtyard gate, and then a beautiful figure came into Ye Feng's view.

"Um…

Ye Feng looked up and saw a woman in a silver-white dress gracefully stepping into the courtyard.

The morning light fell on the woman, unconsciously giving her a faint halo.

The woman's long skirt was made of light and airy fabric. With each step she took, a section of her fair and delicate calves was revealed beneath the hem, their curves graceful and perfectly proportioned.

She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long, black hair that cascaded down her back. She loosely tied it up with a simple jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fell down her cheeks, adding to her aloof and otherworldly air.

Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, with skin as white as snow and delicate features like a fairy in a painting. In particular, the small red mole between her eyebrows resembled a red plum blossom in the snow, adding to her captivating beauty.

The woman was none other than Su Qingxue, the granddaughter Su Zhen had been talking about to Ye Fengyan. In addition, she also had the identity of the Holy Maiden of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

For a moment, even Ye Feng, who had lived two lives and was generally calm, couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

"That old man Su Zhen really wasn't lying to him..."

Ye Feng made a very honest judgment: the woman in front of him was the most stunning and beautiful woman he had seen since he came to the Sword Continent.

The reason that stirred the deepest part of his heart was that this woman would be his fiancée, and judging from Su Zhen's attitude, there could only be one outcome for the two of them.

"Ye Feng..."

Su Qingxue looked at the young man in the courtyard. He was tall and slender, dressed in simple blue clothes, with a handsome face and clear, bright eyes. At this moment, he was looking at her with a hint of appreciation and dazedness. His gaze was pure, without the unpleasant infatuation or lewdness that most men showed when they first met her.

This slightly softened his previously cold expression, which had been a result of being forced to come.

"Such talent and achievements are truly beyond my reach..."

Sensing the powerful and pure sword energy fluctuations within Ye Feng's body, and the faint aura emanating from him that stirred the Yin energy within her, yet also evoked a sense of longing, Su Qingxue murmured to herself, her pretty face unconsciously flushing slightly.

The pure yang energy held a great attraction for her, and given that she had achieved such success at a young age, it was no wonder that her grandfather and father would speak to her in a commanding manner for the first time in years, contrary to their usual behavior.

The marriage between the two of them was already arranged, and she had no power to resist it.

But upon seeing this person today, he was quite different from what she had imagined.

"There must be some other reason behind this. Merely possessing extraordinary talent might not be enough to make Grandpa and Father achieve the same level of success..."

Su Qingxue thought to herself, she was not an unreasonable person, she was well aware of the severity of the Yin Sha disease in her body.

Her grandfather and father wouldn't harm her. Marrying the person in front of her and resolving the problem in that way was indeed much better than other methods. Besides, her Xuanbing Sword Body was originally a dual cultivation physique.

The person in front of her, from any angle, was flawless to her; he was practically perfect.

However... it was ultimately her life's most important matter, and she couldn't help feeling some complicated emotions and resistance.

"We still have a year or two to go, let's see what kind of person he is first..."

Su Qingxue secretly made up her mind that if this person was of bad character, she would never compromise easily, no matter how talented he was.

Composing herself, Su Qingxue looked at Ye Feng, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was clear and melodious, like ice springs striking stones.

"My name is Su Qingxue."

Ye Feng also recovered from the momentary amazement, his eyes regained their clarity, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Ye Feng".

The voice was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing Ye Feng's quick reaction, proper demeanor, and clear, open eyes, Su Qingxue's first impression of him improved even further.

At least, the person in front of me is not a shallow person who is easily seduced by beauty.

"Grandpa asked me to help you with some matters related to entering the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and to show you around the Li Huo Peak."

Su Qingxue stated her purpose directly, her tone still aloof, but less distant than before.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Qingxue."

Ye Feng nodded his thanks, a peaceful smile on his face.

"Let's go..."

The two walked out of the courtyard one after the other. Ye Feng followed half a step behind Su Qingxue, looking at her aloof and beautiful back in front of him, smelling the faint fragrance wafting in the air, and a ripple in his heart couldn't help but rise.

Putting aside other factors, having such a beautiful and elegant fiancée in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is not a bad thing, but rather a blessing.

Of course, the premise is that he himself has enough strength to match and protect what belongs to him.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more trouble she represents.

In a sect like the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, there are no exceptions. Su Zhen won't always be there to help him with minor troubles.

The sunlight stretched their shadows long, as if they were telling a story.

...

After leaving Tianxia Academy, Su Qingxue led Ye Feng along the mountain paths of Lihuo Peak.

The pavilions and towers along the way were scattered in a well-organized manner, and disciples could be seen coming and going from time to time. When they saw Su Qingxue, many male disciples cast a look of awe and hidden admiration in their eyes.

But when these people saw Ye Feng behind Su Qingxue, they instinctively felt hostility.

However, when they sensed Ye Feng's sword energy fluctuations, which, though restrained, were far more powerful than theirs, their gazes immediately became more solemn and curious.
