Sect Master's Hall.
All the elders of the Seven Stars Sword Sect gathered, wondering why the Sect Master had summoned them.
"Elder Chen, do you know why the Sect Master has summoned us?"
Several elders surrounded Chen Fan.
Chen Fan, with his Transcendent Realm cultivation, stood out among the elders, who were all at or above the Saint Realm, giving him a rather unique appearance.
However, the other elders dared not underestimate Chen Fan. If they offended Chen Fan and he cut off their lineage's resources, they would suffer a great loss.
In the Seven Stars Sword Sect, they secretly called Chen Fan the God of Wealth. Although it had a flattering connotation, Chen Fan, who controlled the economic lifeline of the Seven Stars Sword Sect, deserved the title.
Faced with the inquiries from the other elders, Chen Fan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know either."
"You don't know either?" Someone was puzzled.
Chen Fan smiled wryly in his heart upon hearing this.
He was only at the Transcendent Realm, and many inner disciples of the sect had higher cultivation than him, yet he held great power. Others only saw his glory, but they didn't know how much pressure he was under.
Many people said that taking Wang Yan as his disciple was a way for him to make up for his inner regrets, and he didn't deny it. However, if he hadn't been forced to, who would want to entrust their future to their disciple?
Talent!
This was the problem that had plagued him for over a thousand years.
The sect wasn't lacking in elixirs and miraculous medicines to improve talent, but it was already a stroke of luck for him to become an elder with cultivation below the Saint Realm. If he were to use those rare sacred medicines to cleanse his meridians and marrow, it would be suspected of using his power for personal gain.
The Sect Master and Vice Sect Master had shown him great kindness, and he couldn't tarnish their reputation.
"Yang Fan is here, oh, and he brought his little wife with him."
Just then, Yang Fan walked into the hall with Wang Yan, and he was immediately teased by the other elders. Yang Fan could only smile wryly, but he didn't deny it.
Wang Yan blushed and lowered her head, almost burying it in her full bosom.
"Go, go, go, you old geezers, stop teasing my disciple. Xiao Yan, come here to your teacher."
Seeing that the others were teasing his disciple, Chen Fan couldn't bear it any longer and immediately walked to Wang Yan's side to protect her.
"Master!" Wang Yan said softly.
Chen Fan nodded gently, then looked at Yang Fan and asked through voice transmission, "Why did you bring Xiao Yan here too?"
Yang Fan replied, "The Sect Master asked me to bring Junior Sister Wang here. I don't know the specific reason."
Chen Fan nodded, then glanced at Wang Yan, who was looking around curiously despite her lowered head, and couldn't help but say, "If you want to look, then be bolder. These are all your uncles and senior uncles, they won't eat you."
"Disciple won't look," Wang Yan said quickly.
Chen Fan shook his head, then patted Yang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yan will need your care in the future."
"Elder Chen, what are you saying? She is my junior sister, it's my duty to take care of her," Yang Fan said.
"Master, if you say that again, I won't pay attention to you anymore," Wang Yan said shyly.
"Haha... I won't say it, I won't say it," Chen Fan said with a happy laugh.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, a petite figure flew into the Sect Master's Hall and landed steadily on the ground.
"Where is Li Beifei?"
The petite figure looked around and said.
Everyone present was speechless. Xu Jiaojiao was the only one in the sect who dared to call the Sect Master by his given name.
At this time, Duan Fei came out. Everyone hurriedly saluted and greeted the Vice Sect Master, but Xu Jiaojiao, upon seeing him, stepped forward and asked, "Duan Fatty, why are you the only one here? Where's Li Beifei?"
Duan Fei wasn't angry at being called Duan Fatty by Xu Jiaojiao, but instead smiled and said, "He's here."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt an astonishing sword intent, and then they saw a long sword appear on the golden Sect Master's throne in the center of the hall.
Everyone looked at the long sword in surprise. They recognized it at a glance as the Sect Master's sword, the Tian Shu Sword.
"Everyone, it's been hundreds of years, how have you been!"
At this moment, a white figure was sitting on the throne without anyone noticing.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Everyone present bowed and saluted. At this time, even Xu Jiaojiao, who dared to call Li Beifei by his given name, was no exception.
She dared to call Li Beifei by his given name because she was very familiar with Li Beifei, but she would still observe the necessary etiquette in serious occasions.
"You may rise," Li Beifei waved his hand, and an aura involuntarily surged from his body, causing everyone present to straighten their backs.
Duan Fei sat on the silver throne one step below the Sect Master's throne. Gold was for the primary, and silver was for the secondary.
The silver throne was his seat.
Duan Fei looked at his boss's high-spirited appearance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He couldn't achieve such a scene, not because his deterrent power was inferior to his boss, but because of the sword aura on his boss's body.
He didn't cultivate the sword path, so it was difficult for him to possess such an aura.
Below, Wang Yan carefully looked at Li Beifei on the throne. So their Sect Master was so handsome, but Senior Brother Yang was still better-looking.
Wang Yan made a comparison in her heart and immediately came to a conclusion.
As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Wang Yan was in this state of mind at the moment.
However, Li Beifei's entrance was amazing to everyone else.
"Sect Master, may I ask why you have summoned us here?" At this time, a burly man asked. He was Xiao Tian's father, the patriarch of the Howling Moon Skywolf clan. It was he who brought the major demon clans of the Northern Chen Star to join the Seven Stars Sword Sect. Originally only at the Saint Realm, he had now become a Saint King.
Everyone looked at Li Beifei curiously upon hearing this.
Li Beifei smiled and put away the Tian Shu Sword, then said, "I have summoned you here today because I have several things to announce."
Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious, and they looked like they were listening attentively.
"Yi Ya, come out!"
Li Beifei said softly. As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun, one on each side, held Yi Yi's hand. They smiled and nodded to the others, then led Yi Yi to Li Beifei's side.
Everyone looked at this scene curiously, and they already had some guesses in their hearts.
Seeing their different expressions, Li Beifei signaled Yi Yi to sit next to him. Yi Yi obediently sat down. The throne was high, and after Yi Yi sat down, her legs could only dangle in the air.
"I believe you have guessed it, but this Sect Master still needs to formally introduce you. Yi Yi, the child of my disciples Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun, is also my grand-disciple."
"Of course, summoning you here is not just to simply introduce Yi Yi to you. The important thing is what comes next."
Li Beifei's expression became serious when he said this, and everyone straightened their backs even more.
And what Li Beifei announced next was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shocking their minds.
"My Seven Stars Sword Sect has been established for 1,432 years. In the past, we were just a small force, but now we are no longer what we used to be, and it is time to determine my next successor."
Li Beifei said slowly, and every word fell on everyone's heart.
