Outside the War Hall.
This place is the inner gate of the Star Constellation Sect. Generally speaking, unless something significant happens, only the major figures, hall masters, elders, and inner gate disciples of the Star Constellation Sect are qualified to enter here. However, even so, this inner gate looks no different from the outer gate of the Star Constellation Sect, appearing quiet and elegant everywhere.
At this moment, in front of a flower bed outside the War Hall, Su Yu stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze calmly fixed on a delicate orchid in front of her. On the orchid, a pair of butterflies were flying together. Seeing this scene, a gentle smile appeared on Su Yu's face, clearly lost in thought.
"What? Do you envy the butterflies flying together?"
A voice tinged with amusement sounded, causing Su Yu's cheeks to flush. She turned around and glared fiercely at the young man with a faint smile on his face, saying viciously, "Do you want to die? You dare to tease even your senior sister, are you not afraid that someone will come to settle accounts with you again!"
"How much of a troublemaker my senior sister is, I have already experienced today, haven't I?" Ye Zhong smiled, his tone slightly playful.
"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. How did it go?" Su Yu glanced in the direction of the War Hall. She was somewhat afraid of that person, so she was quite worried about Ye Zhong's current situation.
"Not too well, but my status as an inner gate disciple is now confirmed. Of course, if someone can take this position from me in the future, then it will be their ability, and no one will stand up for me." Ye Zhong said calmly.
Su Yu nodded lightly upon hearing this. She understood that Ye Zhong had probably refused some of Huo Dong's requests. However, she did not say anything. Everyone has their own choices and their own paths. From the time she had spent with Ye Zhong, she felt that he might not be suitable for joining the War Hall.
The War Hall is the institution responsible for the Star Constellation Sect's external battles, and Ye Zhong's attacks are always merciless. If Ye Zhong joined the War Hall, the combination of such formidable forces would be terrifying even to Su Yu.
As for whether Ye Zhong could maintain his status as an inner gate disciple, Su Yu was not at all worried. Given Ye Zhong's strength, as long as he did not provoke certain specific individuals, his status should remain secure.
"Alright, since the matter with the hall master is settled, I'll take you to the Spirit Spell Hall first. I can also go to the third floor, so I'll accompany you there." After a moment's thought, Su Yu spoke softly.
Ye Zhong nodded upon hearing this. He was quite interested in the Spirit Spell Hall of the Star Constellation Sect. After all, the powerful spirit spells he had were not very beneficial for him to cultivate forcefully with his current strength. Moreover, he couldn't keep using the Asura Sword Seal to fight, could he?
Therefore, Ye Zhong had no resistance to the idea of going to the Spirit Spell Hall to choose a spirit spell. Besides, from Su Yu's expression, he could guess that the best spirit spells of the Star Constellation Sect were likely piled up on the third floor of the Spirit Spell Hall. As long as he had the right opportunity, he should be able to obtain a suitable spirit spell for his current realm without much difficulty.
Without further delay, the two of them set off quickly in another direction under Su Yu's lead.
This was a grand hall located at the summit of Xiang Mountain, ancient and simple, with ancient green bricks laid around it.
The two of them stopped in front of the hall.
Compared to the inner gate of the Star Constellation Sect, the Spirit Spell Hall appeared even more spacious and desolate, clearly not many disciples could come here even on a regular day. Moreover, there were faint but powerful fluctuations around the Spirit Spell Hall. Ye Zhong frowned slightly and identified that there were at least dozens of powerful spirit spell arrays layered on the hall. If someone who did not understand spirit spell arrays recklessly entered the Spirit Spell Hall, they would likely face serious consequences.
Clearly, such an important place for a sect would not be simple.
The two of them exchanged a glance and then stepped forward together, slowly approaching the entrance of the hall.
"Whoosh—"
However, just as they were about to enter the Spirit Spell Hall, a sound of wind breaking came from behind them, and three figures flashed over, landing almost simultaneously in front of the Spirit Spell Hall.
Ye Zhong's gaze swept over them, and he saw that the three were two men and one woman. The two men were both about seventeen or eighteen years old. The man on the left wore a blue robe, with a rather handsome face, but his complexion was somewhat sallow. The man on the right was relatively robust, clearly having cultivated a different body-strengthening spirit spell, giving him a sharp and unreleased aura.
Standing between the two men was a green-robed girl who was probably about the same age as Su Yu. She was tall and slender, with a graceful figure and delicate features, her beauty was breathtaking, as if her every smile and frown could make people lose their minds.
Such a beauty could be described as a world-class enchantress. Standing next to Su Yu, she was like a spring orchid and an autumn chrysanthemum, each with their own charm.
The three of them clearly noticed Ye Zhong and Su Yu, and their gazes quickly fell on the two of them.
Ye Zhong could clearly feel that the two men's gazes paused briefly on Su Yu before landing on him, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.
The girl's gaze, however, fell on Su Yu, and she smiled lightly. However, this smile carried a myriad of complex emotions.
"Senior Sister Su Yu, it's been several months since we last met, hasn't it? In these few months, you seem to have become even more elegant and refined." The girl smiled, her face as beautiful as a rosy sunset, captivating to behold.
Su Yu also smiled and said, "Junior Sister Xiao Xin is too kind. No matter how elegant and refined I am, I can't compare to your elegance and refinement..."
"Senior Sister, you are usually a solitary person, aren't you? Why have you changed your interests and found a junior brother to follow you around?" Xiao Xin's eyes twinkled, her gaze falling on Ye Zhong, and she smiled sweetly, "This junior brother, you should know that Senior Sister Su Yu is a fox who doesn't spit out bones after eating. Don't let her swallow you whole and still help her count the money foolishly."
"Junior brother, this Senior Sister Xiao Xin is no ordinary person. Look, two inner gate disciples are willing to follow her around. It seems that with their help, she has completed another high-level task. But don't follow her on sect missions. If she's in a bad mood, she might leave you in some remote mountain, and even I would find it difficult to save you!" Su Yu laughed lightly.
As she spoke, Su Yu smiled at Xiao Xin, and though both of them had gentle smiles on their faces, the tension in their words grew thicker.
Ye Zhong watched the two women's confrontation with interest, unable to help but marvel at the quality of the beauties in the Star Constellation Sect.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhong's gaze met the gazes of Xiao Xin's two "followers," and all three of them exchanged a look of mutual understanding, their faces showing a sense of mutual appreciation.
"Junior Sister Su Yu, we are here to collect spirit spells from the third floor of the Spirit Spell Hall today. Is it a coincidence that you are here as well?" The handsome man on the left, seeing the situation getting a bit out of control, stepped forward and stood between the two women, smiling as he spoke.
"It's just a coincidence. What, do you three want to go up with us?" Su Yu glanced at the man on the left and said calmly.
"If I, Cheng Xuan, have the honor, I wouldn't mind going up with you." Cheng Xuan smiled faintly.
"Is that so? If Cheng Xuan is going up, you, Guo Yan, shouldn't be shy, right?" Su Yu smiled slyly, glancing at the robust man with an unchanged expression and the girl with a gentle smile, then turned around and walked into the Spirit Spell Hall without saying more.
Seeing this, Ye Zhong shrugged at the three behind him and quickly followed.
These three people, no matter how you look at them, seemed to have "trouble" written on their foreheads. Ye Zhong had no interest in befriending such people. His current task was to obtain the spirit spell he wanted, then go to the Spirit Medicine Hall to exchange for the spirit medicines he needed, and finally find Wang Mo to find a place to cultivate in seclusion. In the Star Constellation Sect, his strength at the fourth level of body strengthening was not yet enough to make him walk around with impunity, even though he cultivated the Divine Body Strengthening Spell, it still did not reach that level!
Seeing Ye Zhong and Su Yu enter the Spirit Spell Hall, Xiao Xin suddenly smiled and said, "Since our Senior Sister Su Yu has the opportunity to enter the Spirit Spell Hall, let's go in with her. After all, we were going to enter anyway, right?"
As she spoke, Xiao Xin took the lead and walked forward.
