up his mind in that moment, that no matter who he provoked in the future, he couldn't provoke this young man. This was definitely a super ruthless character.Zhai Lingxiu looked over at him again: “Mr....At that time, Ye Bufan thought a little too much this time. Even if he attributed everything to his talent, Hua Bingyu wouldn't have any doubts.

After all, it was only recently that I saw it with my own eyes. That legendary extermination thunder tribulation, a phenomenon that only appears once every ten thousand years and is feared by heaven itself. It's said to be encountered only by monstrous geniuses who appear once in an eon.

For ordinary people, ascending to the realm of True Immortal in ten days is inconceivable, but for a celestial being who has survived the tribulation of extinction thunder calamity, it's nothing special.

She continued, "What about the barrier before Even the old monster Bai Fa Xie Jun couldn't break through it. How did you get in"

Hua Bingyu couldn't understand how Ye Bufan had brought her into the powerful Lei Shen Dian barrier.

"That... my master left me a talisman before he died, saying it could break all kinds of barriers. "

I don't know what level this talisman is, but it worked pretty well this time.

Ye Bufan looked serious and sincere, with a straight face as he uttered nonsense.

This was a script he had prepared beforehand, no matter what he wouldn't expose the little one.

He still hasn't figured out the origins of the little thing, but a treasure coveted even by an Immortal King definitely shouldn't be shown to just anyone.

“Oh!”

Hua Bingyu nodded, not sure if she believed him or not. Whatever the case, she didn't ask any more questions.

After a slight pause, her gaze fell upon the dark temple doors. A complex expression flitted across her stunning face.

When the barrier was about to be broken, why didn't you flee into the Temple of Thunder

Ye Bufan was taken aback, he didn't expect her thoughts to jump so quickly.

"Because you have injuries, we need to treat them as soon as possible. We don't know what the situation is inside."

"In case you fall into some kind of formation or restriction and I can't heal your injuries, it would be a problem then."

"You can just leave me here and run. You don't have to take me with you."

Hua Bingyu's eyes blazed as she spoke, as if trying to see through Ye Bufan's heart.

Cultivation is difficult, and the vast majority of immortals are also very selfish. So she couldn't understand why this man was willing to die to protect her.

"What are you saying You fell into the clutches of that old monster to save me. If you'd run away and left me behind, would I still be human"

Besides, I'm still a man. If I abandon a woman in danger and run away myself, I might as well go to the palace and become an eunuch.

Hua Bingyu was slightly taken aback. Ye Bufan's following words surprised her.

For millennia, she had grown accustomed to her position of power, even thinking from a place beyond the perspective of womanhood.

Only now did I realize that I was a woman and he was a man, and in his eyes, a man should protect a woman.

"...There was a brief silence again, followed by, "Let's just forget about what happened today. As if it never took place."

Ye Bufan grinned, "Elder, could you possibly grant me a small request"

Huabingyu glared at him. She had already let bygones be bygones after being taken advantage of, yet the other party still dared to make demands.

"So, what do you want"

"Ye Bufan said: "It's about my own affairs, can you keep it a secret for me, don't tell anyone"

What did you say

Ye Bufan said, "It's what the elders saw before, including my cultivation level. Could you keep it a secret"

You know I like to keep a low profile and don't want too many people to know about me.

Although his cultivation has improved rapidly recently, he still knows he's a weakling. If too many secrets were to be revealed, it would definitely not be a good thing if others found out.

Hua Bingyu's cultivation was high enough, and her character was decent, so no one had any ill intentions towards her.

But her lack of interest doesn't mean others aren't interested. Once word gets out about how quickly she's improving, there will probably be countless problems at her doorstep.

I have many secrets myself, and I'd rather not draw attention to them.

He set his own guideline as being humble and focusing on development. He knew that while showing off could be appealing, it was crucial to have sufficient strength behind it. Otherwise, he risked losing his life easily.

Hua Bingyu looked at him, her expression ambiguous, "Are you asking me to lie for you"

"Ye Bufan said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also thinking about Elder. Think about it, if someone knew that Elder was secretly following me, they might spread rumors and damage your reputation."

"No one in the Liu Guang Jian Zong dares to spread my idle words."

Hu Bingyu said, "I can keep your secret, but you also have to promise me one condition."

"Huh"

Ye Bufan was taken aback, "Elder, what do you mean"

Hu Bingyu said, "In a few days, the sect master will select his disciples. I want you to promise me that you must be selected."

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan never expected the conditions to be like this, "That... Elder Sir, may I ask who my opponents are"

All disciples of the Liuguang Jianzong, including the personal disciples of each peak master.

"Pfft!"

Ye Bufan almost spit out a mouthful of blood. As a newly ascended cultivator, he was facing tens of thousands of disciples from the entire sect. Was there any way to survive this

He then steadied his mind. If the sect master recruited many disciples, he might still have a tiny sliver of hope.

"Elder, how many direct disciples does the Sect Master recruit at a time"

After he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with hope, wishing for as many disciples as possible to be recruited by the sect leader.

"It's better to have nothing than something mediocre. Either don't recruit at all, or only hire one person at most."

"Um..."

Ye Bufan instantly fell into despair. Among tens of thousands of disciples, how could it possibly be his turn to be selected This was simply impossible.

But then he relaxed, after all, there was no harm in promising something and not being able to deliver.

As just a lowly outer disciple, it's not shameful to lose.

"I promise the elder."

Hua Bingyu glanced at him, as if seeing through his thoughts at once.

"Since you've promised, you can't go back on your word and you must see it through. If you fail, I'll send you to the palace to become a eunuch."

"Uh... that's too much."

If it weren't for the opponent's overwhelming strength, Ye Bufan would have seriously considered beating them up. They just want to send him to the palace to be an eunuch every other time! Is that how they treat people

Is your family a palace intermediary You keep trying to send me to the palace. Do you really think those people are like leeks, that there's always another harvest after one is cut

When I am powerful enough one day, I will definitely pounce on you and avenge my second brother who has been frightened by you.

But he only dared to think these things in his heart and didn't dare to show them at all.

"Elder, are you joking"

Hua Bingyu smiled coldly: "Do you think I'm joking with you"

"This... Elder, it really won't work!"

First of all, let's not talk about the fact that I don't have that ability. Even if I had a little bit of cultivation, once it was revealed, I would be exposed immediately. What's the point of being conservative then

"How about this: I won't ask you to keep it secret, and I won't participate in the selection of inner disciples. What do you think" finished speaking, he began the countdown, "1987..."With his current medical skills, he wouldn't even need a Rejuvenation Pill to heal Fu Chunqiu's injuries, not to mention the Heavenly Repairing Pil...
