All the disciples from Lotus Sect had gathered in the main hall, but they were confused as to why Lian Bing had asked them to gather so early.
"Do you know what Sect Master wants to announce, Sister Yu?" Tang Wan asked curiously.
Yu Mei shook her head. "Master hasn't said anything to me; maybe Junior Sister Ling knows about it."
"Since Sister Bing was still in seclusion yesterday, she hasn't told me about this either, so I don't know anything." Ling Ling replied with a shake of her head; she was also curious about Lian Bing's intentions to collect them.
"Do you know about this matter, Jing'er?" Xue Ying asked.
Ye Jing answered her directly. "I haven't met Sister Bing either."
In the end, they chose to wait for their Sect Master to announce it. Ten minutes later, Lian Bing came with Bing Xue and several elders.
However, judging from their expressions, it seemed that they had just had a heated argument, for some elders' faces were still gloomy. But some of them also looked excited, which made the disciples continue to whisper curiously.
Their thoughts were correct, Lian Bing had indeed had a heated argument with the elders since yesterday, especially since many of them didn't like her idea, but she finally managed to convince them to agree.
"Please pay close attention because what I will announce this time will be the new history of the Lotus Sect, and I believe this will bring great changes to our sect." Lian Bing said loudly; the disciples fell silent as soon as she said that, and they waited patiently for the announcement. "From today onwards, Lotus Sect will accept one male disciple; he-"
"What?" All the disciples were in shock.
Even Ling Ling and Ye Jing were shocked to hear that, but they already guessed who Lian Bing was referring to because only one man could make her decide on such a crazy thing.
"But Sect Master, why should we accept a male disciple? That would make us uncomfortable." Tang Wan immediately protested; Ling Ling and the others weren't surprised because she was the most outspoken person.
Yu Mei also asked. "Can you explain to us your reason, Sect Master?"
On the other side, a disciple frowned and looked at Lian Bing strangely, and she muttered in her heart. 'What is this woman planning? After this, I will tell my adoptive mother about this; I'm afraid her plans will interfere with ours.'
"I know what you all think, but I am doing this for the good of our sect. Because right now, not only our sect but the entire Cultivator Realm is facing great danger." The disciples gasped as soon as Lian Bing mentioned that, and he continued with a faint smile. "However, you don't need to worry about the male disciple, and I dare to guarantee that he won't make you guys uncomfortable, but I'm sure that all of you will feel very comfortable in his presence."
"Eh?" The disciples were surprised to hear Lian Bing's words, especially seeing her confident expression.
"Can you tell us the identity of that man, Sect Master?" One of the core disciples, Mu Lingxue, asked curiously.
Lian Bing smiled and answered her. "His name is Ling Yun, Ling'er's little brother, and he is also Jing'er's husband."
"Eh!?" The disciples immediately turned to Ling Ling and Ye Jing in shock, especially the core disciples, but both women only responded to them with a smile.
Those disciples knew that Ye Jing already had a husband, but they didn't expect that Lian Bing would also accept Ling Yun as the first male disciple of the Lotus Sect.
Ye Jing blushed at their strange gazes. 'Ugh! You embarrassed me, Sister Bing!'
Suddenly, Sun Xinxin, one of the core disciples, asked him. "Is your husband handsome, Junior Sister Jing?"
"Yun'er is really handsome, Sister Sun! So you better be careful when you meet him in the future, or you'll fall for him." Ling Ling replied proudly, for Ling Yun was indeed really handsome, especially after he swallowed the beauty returning pill, and then she sent them a sound transmission to them. 'Let me tell you a few things, he already has many wives, and Sister Bing is also his future wife.'
Unlike the elders, Lian Bing knew Ling Ling's character very well, and seeing the reaction of the core disciples, she knew that her beloved disciple had said something to them. 'Sigh, Ling'er, you know I'm not willing to accept Ling Yun yet.'
The disciples were shocked to hear Ling Ling's confession and turned toward Lian Bing, and they saw the pink hue on her cheeks, which made them sure that she was not bragging.
'I didn't expect Sect Master to already have a husband-to-be.' Those core disciples thought the same thing, but it also made them even more curious about Ling Yun and how he had managed to subdue their ice queen. However, they then realized something else: if Lian Bing really became his wife, she would have to resign from their sect, weakening their sect.
"Cough!" Lian Bing pretended to cough and then continued. "Moreover, Ling Yun also has powerful Ice Qi. In fact, his Ice Qi is much stronger than all of us in this place, including my Master."
"Are you serious, Sect Master? His Ice Qi is even stronger than you and Ancestor Bing?" Qiao Yan asked in shock.
Bing Xue nodded to her. "That's right, Qiao Yan. His Ice Qi is much stronger than ours, but he also has other Qi."
However, Bing Xue had no intention of mentioning that Ling Yun possessed nine qi, or else that would create an uproar. She was afraid that it would leak out to outsiders and harm her.
"So when will he come here, Sect Master? And how strong is he?" Han Xian felt excited to meet Ling Yun. Moreover, Ling Ling said he was very handsome, and she didn't care even though he already had many wives.
"He is currently in the Illusion Forest, and he might come here in the future. If you are wondering how strong he is, his cultivation is already at the Lower Core Realm, and he is only 19 years old." Lian Bing explained it to them, causing them to go into shock.
Other disciples were stunned to hear that, especially since Ling Yun was only 19, but he had already reached that high.
However, the core disciples looked at Lian Bing strangely, for their Sect Master chose a very young man whose cultivation was far below hers.
After that, Lian Bing explained a few other things to them, and they left the main hall immediately afterward.
The other core disciples pulled Ling Ling and Ye Jing to come with them, for they wanted to inquire about Ling Yun and Lian Bing's relationship, and they still couldn't believe that their Sect Master had such a relationship because their age and cultivation were so far apart.
On the other hand, a female disciple was sneaking around looking for a quiet place and then contacted someone using a communication device.
.
.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun had arrived at the Illusion Forest, and his women were still fast asleep as they were exhausted. However, he immediately raised his eyebrows when he saw Glacia, and he didn't like how she looked at him.
However, before Ling Yun could speak to him, Feng Xing had already embraced his arm and asked worriedly. "What about Madam Feng? Did you manage to save her?"
"Of course, we managed to save her, and she has returned to the Feng Clan now." Ling Yun replied with a chuckle, causing the four young women of the Feng Clan to heave a sigh of relief. "However, I killed Feng Xinyun and crippled Feng Hao, and Ruxue will use him as a warning to the rest of your clan."
"Humph! It's good that you did that to them!" Feng Xiu said with an angry snort, for she loved and respected Feng Ruxue very much, and she was the one who took care of her and her big sister after their mother disappeared.
Feng Qiong also agreed with her. "I thought that no one would dare to betray our clan again after this, or else they would meet the same fate as them."
"That's true." Feng Yao also nodded approvingly, but her face turned red when Ling Yun turned to look at her, and she immediately ran like a rabbit away from them.
Ling Yun laughed in amusement, seeing Feng Yao react like that. "She's so shy, huh?"
"Yao'er is just like that, Ling Yun." Feng Qiong said with a chuckle. "Among the four of us, she is the shyest but very kind and gentle."
Feng Xing then teases him. "Are you interested in Yao'er?"
"Eh?" Ling Yun was surprised and shook his head. "She's very nice indeed, but I've only known her for a day, so I don't have any interest in her yet."
"Humph!" Feng Xing snorted softly after hearing his reply.
On the other hand, Feng Qiong and Feng Xiu looked at Ling Yun strangely; they thought he would reply that he was attracted to Feng Yao.
Ling Yun then turned to face the two angels and said. "Hey, female angel, I warn you to stop looking at me like that. Even if you are an angel, I won't keep quiet if you look down on me like that."
