Senior Brother, My Apologies!

Chapter 10: Senior Brother, My Apologies

Translator: Krukist

Overall, Wang Feng was quite satisfied with summoning Yue. As the Divine Immortal Sect continued to grow, managing the sect would become increasingly important. Yue, who had managed the vast Moving Flower Palace, undoubtedly had the skills to handle such responsibilities.

Although she was cold and aloof, Wang Feng was confident that, with the system's restrictions, he could still control her.

"Check Yue's attribute panel!" Wang Feng said without hesitation.

"Ding! Yue's attribute panel is as follows:

Name: Yue

Title: The World's Most Beautiful Woman, Palace Master of the Moving Flower Palace

Cultivation: Early Profound Sovereign Realm

Techniques: Bright Jade Art, Flower Shifting Jade (Peak Emperor-grade)

Weapon: Crimson Blood Canvas (Peak Emperor-grade)!"

Looking at Yue's attribute panel, Wang Feng was deeply impressed. As expected of the top female martial artist of her time, she was indeed powerful. Most importantly, Wang Feng knew that the strength of characters summoned by the system couldn't be judged solely by their cultivation level. Both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue far surpassed their cultivation levels in terms of combat prowess, and Yue was likely no exception.

Buzz!

Just as Wang Feng was marveling at Yue's abilities, the space within the grand hall trembled slightly. A figure in white robes descended gracefully from the void. Her clothes fluttered as if carried by the wind; her white robes were as pure as snow, and her long hair flowed like clouds. Her demeanor was elegant, like that of an immortal.

When Wang Feng saw her face, he was momentarily stunned. Words failed to describe Yue's beauty. She seemed to possess an innate, captivating charm.

"Yue pays her respects to the Sect Master."

A clear, ethereal voice echoed through the hall. Seeing this fairy-like figure bowing to him, Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"No need for formalities. From now on, you will serve by my side," Wang Feng said, nodding as he examined Yue.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were both obsessed with the sword, and their blades were always stained with blood. They weren't suitable to stay by Wang Feng's side. Xuansha, on the other hand, was a good fit, but Wang Feng wasn't entirely comfortable having only Xuansha accompany him. After all, his current strength wasn't enough to withstand a single strike from Xuansha.

"Yes, Sect Master," Yue replied respectfully, her expression as cold and unreadable as ever.

Listening to Yue's voice, Wang Feng couldn't help but marvel. Her voice was cold and emotionless, yet soft and beautiful. If Yue weren't so cold and ruthless, her beauty and enchanting voice alone would be enough to captivate countless men. But if that were the case, she wouldn't be Yue.

"You may leave for now. When I need to go out, you will accompany me," Wang Feng said, feeling a chill from Yue's icy demeanor despite her stunning appearance.

"Yes."

Yue bowed respectfully and then vanished without a trace.

After Yue left, Wang Feng calmed himself and began to inspect his own cultivation level and familiarize himself with the power within his body.

Meanwhile, after leaving the main hall, Yue chose a nearby pavilion to settle in. Coincidentally, Xuansha had just emerged from a neighboring pavilion.

"Strange. Isn't the Divine Immortal Sect supposed to be an ancient hidden sect? Why are there so few experts? Logically, an ancient hidden sect shouldn't have so few members," Xuansha muttered to himself, a look of confusion on his face.

Wang Feng had allowed them to choose their own pavilions, and Xuansha hadn't held back. While he appeared to be selecting a pavilion, he was actually probing the sect's secrets. To his surprise, most of the pavilions were empty, and even some of the larger halls were deserted.

If the Divine Immortal Sect was truly an ancient hidden sect, it shouldn't have so few members. Either the sect was just a facade with only a handful of people, or the other experts were still in hibernation, waiting to awaken.

Xuansha had some understanding of hidden sects. Typically, true hidden sects would have their experts enter a state of dormancy to conserve their lifespans, only awakening when a glorious era arrived.

Those so-called hidden sects that were still active in the world weren't true hidden sects. In Xuansha's eyes, the Divine Immortal Sect was the real deal, which made him lean toward the latter explanation. After all, the sect gave off an extraordinary aura.

As he pondered, Xuansha approached the pavilion where Yue had settled. Lost in thought, he absentmindedly reached for the door, assuming it was empty like the others.

Boom!

The moment Xuansha's hand touched the door, a terrifying aura erupted from within the pavilion. The door swung open on its own, and a glowing palm strike shot out, slamming into Xuansha before he could react.

Thud!

Caught off guard, Xuansha was sent flying, crashing into the ground some distance away. The impact shattered the floor tiles and shook the earth.

"Enter without permission again, and you die."

A cold, ethereal voice rang out from the pavilion, echoing in Xuansha's ears. The door then closed on its own, and the pavilion returned to its peaceful state as if nothing had happened.

"Ugh! Another Profound Sovereign Realm expert?!"

Xuansha spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale. But at this moment, he ignored his injuries, staring at the pavilion in shock. His earlier doubts vanished in an instant.

It seemed his suspicions were correct. The experts of the Divine Immortal Sect were still in hibernation and hadn't fully awakened. This one must have just woken up after being disturbed by him.

The thought made Xuansha break out in a cold sweat. He realized that his earlier actions of probing the pavilions had been incredibly reckless.

Now, Xuansha felt a genuine sense of awe and fear toward the Divine Immortal Sect. With Profound Sovereign Realm experts appearing left and right, he decided it was best to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he might end up dead without even knowing how.

In such a short time, the sect had already revealed two Profound Sovereign Realm experts. Xuansha wouldn't be surprised if there were even stronger experts, like Profound Venerable Realm cultivators, within the sect.

Looking at his injured body, Xuansha's face twisted into a bitter expression. His chest bore a sword wound on the left and a palm strike on the right. The Great Demon Xuansha, who had just emerged into the world, had already been thoroughly beaten. It was downright humiliating.

The worst part was that he couldn't fight back. He could only retreat to a corner, licking his wounds and healing in silence.

With a heavy heart, Xuansha chose an empty pavilion and settled in, no longer daring to probe further.

The next day, inside the main hall of the Divine Immortal Sect, Wang Feng summoned Ling Fei Wu and said meaningfully, "Fei Wu, you've just broken through to the General Realm, and your cultivation hasn't stabilized yet, right?"

"Yes, Sect Master! But Master has already prepared a series of plans to help me consolidate my cultivation," Ling Fei Wu replied, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Wang Feng.

"Good. But I called you here today to entrust you with a task," Wang Feng said, nodding. He was secretly surprised. It seemed Ye Gucheng truly intended to take Ling Fei Wu as his disciple. The usually aloof and cold Ye Gucheng was putting so much effort into guiding her.

"Please speak, Sect Master. Fei Wu will do her best, even at the cost of her life!" Ling Fei Wu said earnestly, her expression serious.

"It's not that serious. I want you to help your senior brother, Li Qing, with his training," Wang Feng said, waving his hand.

"Uh... Sect Master, I'm only at the Mystic General Realm. How can I guide Senior Brother Li Qing in his cultivation?" Ling Fei Wu asked, puzzled.

"I want you to spar with him frequently. Ideally, beat him half to death. As long as he doesn't die, you can hit him as hard as you want."

"Understood... Wait, what?"

At first, Ling Fei Wu was about to agree, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was off. Her delicate body trembled, and her face turned pale. Was the Sect Master really this harsh with his disciples?

Did he have a sadistic streak?

Seeing Ling Fei Wu's trembling figure and pale face, Wang Feng realized she had misunderstood. He quickly explained, "Your senior brother Li Qing may be a mortal, but he has a unique physique that hasn't been activated yet. Once it is, he will astonish the world!"

"And to activate his physique, he needs to be beaten to stimulate it."

Hearing Wang Feng's explanation, Ling Fei Wu nodded in understanding, though she was still a bit skeptical. What kind of physique required being beaten to activate?

"If you don't believe me, you can test it out. As long as you don't kill Senior Brother Li Qing, no matter how severe his injuries are, he'll recover quickly."

"Yes, Sect Master. I will go and assist Senior Brother Li Qing right away," Ling Fei Wu said, no longer hesitating. She bowed respectfully to Wang Feng and left the hall to find Li Qing.

Although Ling Fei Wu trusted Wang Feng completely, this method was just too strange. She decided to test it out first. If it really worked as the Sect Master said, she would do her best to help Li Qing activate his physique.

As Ling Fei Wu left, Wang Feng's eyes gleamed with a deep, thoughtful light. He murmured to himself, "Li Qing, I hope you can endure it. Once you activate the Spirit Turtle Emperor Physique, you'll truly deserve your position as the senior disciple of the Divine Immortal Sect."

"Junior Sister Fei Wu, what brings you here?" Li Qing asked, puzzled, as Ling Fei Wu appeared at his pavilion.

"Senior Brother, my apologies!"

Without explaining, Ling Fei Wu clasped her hands in a respectful gesture. Then, with a surge of energy, her delicate hands shot out, striking toward Li Qing!
