Lin Feng, hearing this, flicked Chen Linger's forehead, making her almost cry. Lin Feng was truly helpless with his little junior sister, and could only coax and deceive her to get her out the door!
Chen Linger left the Thatched Hut and first snuck to the ancient well behind the Little Xuan Sect, pouring the contents of the Jade Bottle that Lin Feng had instructed her to into the well.
"So fragrant!"
After pouring it out, Chen Linger couldn't help but lick the mouth of the bottle, immediately feeling a sense of euphoria!
"Hmph! That stinky senior brother is definitely lying to me, this must be something good!"
Chen Linger, in a drunken stupor, made her way to her master's door and began banging on it!
Chen Chengren was in his room, contemplating the future of the Little Xuan Sect. Hearing the knocking, he opened the door and immediately saw the dazed Chen Linger. Seeing her flushed cheeks and her drunken appearance, he quickly shook Chen Linger and asked:
"You little rascal, how did you learn to drink at such a young age!"
Chen Linger mumbled, "Senior brother... senior brother... he..."
Chen Chengren's expression immediately changed.
"I knew it was that stinky brat! Daring to teach my Linger to drink! Wait until I break his legs later!"
Hearing Chen Chengren's words, Chen Linger jolted awake, becoming a little more sober. She quickly said, "Master, it's not like that. Senior Brother asked me to bring you some Elixir to help you heal!"
Saying this, she took out another Jade Bottle from her bosom.
Chen Chengren, realizing he had misunderstood Lin Feng, gave a sheepish smile and said to Chen Linger, "Alright, look at you. Go back and get some sleep. You're a young woman now, you can't drink like this anymore!"
After sending Chen Linger back to her room, Chen Chengren took out the Elixir Lin Feng had given him and held it in his hand. The Elixir was crystal clear, with a faint halo around it. Chen Chengren looked at the Elixir and couldn't help but sigh.
My eldest disciple, I thought he had decent talent back then, but ever since he joined the sect, he's been holed up in the Thatched Hut on the back mountain, saying he's researching alchemy. He occasionally sends me some newly researched Elixir. I've eaten so many over the years. Lin Feng does have a talent, and the Elixir are all top-grade. It's just his cultivation...
Chen Chengren swallowed the Elixir in one gulp and began to meditate, refining its medicinal power.
The next day.
Chen Chengren appeared in the Hall of Council, radiant. After taking the Elixir Lin Feng gave him, Chen Chengren felt like he had become younger!
However, as he entered the Hall of Council, he suddenly found the atmosphere was a bit off. Several Elders kept giving him meaningful glances.
Chen Chengren looked puzzled, but when he looked at the person standing in the middle of the hall, he was immediately surprised!
The person who came was none other than Immortal Lord Lu Kang from the Lu family!
However, Chen Chengren quickly returned to normal and clasped his hands towards Lu Kang, saying:
"Immortal Lord Lu Kang, what brings you to our Little Xuan Sect today?"
Lu Kang turned around, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Chen Chengren, and said coldly:
"I am here to see my junior, Lu Ming. He is a genius among the younger generation of the Lu family!"
Chen Chengren, upon hearing this, was somewhat disdainful:
"What could possibly happen to Junior Brother Lu Ming in my Little Xuan Sect? There were indeed some minor troubles in my sect the day before yesterday, but they have all been resolved. If the Immortal Lord had been here at the time, perhaps he could have offered some assistance!"
Lu Kang's expression changed upon hearing this. Of course, he knew about the Haotian Sect incident. He was also shocked after listening to Lu Ming's report, especially since the Little Xuan Sect was hiding an expert at the Immortal Emperor realm, which made him somewhat apprehensive!
But now, that mysterious Immortal Emperor had confirmed their departure due to karma, and his grand plan was bound to succeed!
Lu Kang looked at Chen Chengren and suddenly shouted:
"Chen Chengren! The reason why the Little Xuan Sect almost perished this time was ultimately due to your recklessness. Although you escaped a disaster with the help of a superior individual this time, what about next time? Are you going to have the entire sect die with you!"
"Our Lu family has a deep connection with the Little Xuan Sect. Naturally, we can't bear to see the Little Xuan Sect go down a path of no return, so I'm here to ask you to step down voluntarily!"
"Step down?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Chengren's face turned grim. He hadn't expected the Lu family to come after him so quickly. Although many elders within the sect supported him, these were useless in the face of absolute power!
"Impossible! The Sect Leader position was passed down by my master. How could I possibly step down? Besides, if I were to step down, who would take over as Sect Leader?"
Lu Kang sneered and said: "The Sect Leader position naturally goes to the capable. Although my Lu family's Lu Ming's cultivation isn't high, he possesses exceptional talent and is both wise and brave. Given time, he'll surely achieve greatness. He can take over the Sect Leader position in advance!"
Chen Chengren scoffed, saying: "Him? If I were to step down, I'd rather let my senior disciple, Lin Feng, take over!"
Lu Kang was taken aback. He was very familiar with the name Lin Feng, after all, he had been on the Xuantian Golden List twice. But it was the first time he knew that Chen Chengren had a disciple also named Lin Feng.
Lu Ming, who was standing beside him, took over the conversation, saying:
"Although Lin Feng is Sect Leader's senior disciple, and also our senior brother, his cultivation is too low, and he's naturally lazy and doesn't do his job. How could such a person possibly inherit the Sect Leader position!"
As Lu Ming's voice faded, a young man's voice echoed from outside the hall!
"Oh? Did I just hear someone talking trash about me?"
