The Lay Flat Life: My Wife's Cultivation Makes Me Stronger - Chapter 58

The Sect Leader waved his hand and said,
“Alright, everyone, stop hovering in the air and follow me to the main hall.”

The Sect Leader led the other Peak Masters as they flew toward the Yin-Yang Sect’s main hall, located behind the statue.

When the Sect Leader gave his order, Han Feng didn’t dare disobey. Carrying Wang Mian on his back, he flew toward the hall with Zhang Xiu and Jiang Surou. The Jiang family disciples, however, went to regroup with their family’s designated area.

The Yin-Yang Sect’s main hall was a place for discussing important matters and receiving foreign guests. It was grand and opulent—so much so that Han Feng felt it was larger than a royal palace, though he had never actually seen one.

Once inside the hall, the Peak Masters took their seats. The Sect Leader gestured and said,
“Bring a chair for disciple Wang Mian.”

The attendants outside immediately brought in a chair. Han Feng helped Wang Mian sit down before quickly asking,
“Sect Leader, could you take a look at Wang Mian’s injuries? Is there any hope of recovery?”

The Sect Leader shook his head and replied,
“If he could be saved, why would you, Han Feng, have gone and destroyed the dantians of those other disciples?”

The implication was clear: Han Feng had acted so ruthlessly toward those disciples precisely because he knew destroyed dantians couldn’t be restored.

Han Feng understood what the Sect Leader meant—Wang Mian’s body truly had no chance of recovery.

Maybe somewhere in the world, there existed miraculous pills capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing all wounds unconditionally. But such treasures were far beyond Han Feng’s reach; even the entire Yin-Yang Sect didn’t possess them.

To the side, Elder Tie Lian, head of the Enforcement Hall, spoke coldly,
“From now on, the rules for the Ancestor’s Ceremony must include a new provision: no one is allowed to destroy another’s cultivation, in addition to the existing rule prohibiting killing.

In the past, no one was this ruthless, so there was no need for such a rule. But this time, Ye Longyuan and Han Feng have set a dangerous precedent. According to the current rules, they didn’t technically violate anything, so they won’t be punished.

But from now on, this can’t happen again. If everyone started behaving like them, how many promising talents would we lose each year?”

The other Peak Masters nodded, indicating their agreement with this addition.

Elder Tie Lian then turned his gaze to Han Feng and said,
“As for you, Han Feng, there are two things I need to address with you.

First, regarding the Ye family’s attempts to assassinate you, the Enforcement Hall will conduct a thorough investigation and ensure justice is served. In the future, if anyone tries to assassinate you again, you can call on the Enforcement Hall for help.

If you’re able to subdue the assassin on your own, remember not to kill them. Bring them to the Enforcement Hall—this old man will personally extract their memories and gather evidence to punish the Ye family. I will not tolerate their lawlessness!”

A warm feeling rose in Han Feng’s heart. He cupped his hands and said,
“Elder Tie Lian’s reputation for impartiality is well known. This disciple greatly admires you and trusts that you will ensure justice.”

“Good. The second matter,” Tie Lian continued, “is this: I’ve observed that you’re both ruthless and deeply loyal, with a strong sense of justice and remarkable aptitude.

I’m willing to take you as a disciple, to bring you into the Enforcement Hall as one of its own, where you will uphold fairness and enforce justice with strict impartiality…”

Before Tie Lian could finish his sentence, a loud cracking sound interrupted him.

Everyone turned to look and saw that the armrest on the right side of Si Yu, the Peak Master of Luoxia Peak, had been shattered into pieces.

Si Yu’s icy gaze swept across the hall. She extended her hand, letting the fragments fall to the ground, and said calmly,
“The chairs in this hall are far too fragile. They should be replaced.”
The hall fell into an eerie silence. Despite her actions, none of the other Peak Masters dared to speak up.

The Sect Leader forced an awkward smile and said,
“Elder Tie, Han Feng is, after all, a disciple of Luoxia Peak. If you want to take him as your disciple, shouldn’t you ask Peak Master Si Yu’s permission first?”

Tie Lian stood up and retorted angrily,
“Why should I ask her? Every disciple has the right to choose their master, just as every master has the right to choose their disciple. A master-disciple relationship is only established when both parties agree.

If every Peak Master demanded that their disciples only study under them, how would the Enforcement Hall ever recruit anyone?”

Han Feng finally understood what was happening. His own Peak Master, Si Yu, was clearly angry about Elder Tie Lian trying to take him as a disciple.

It made sense. Given the aptitude and combat strength he had displayed, it wasn’t surprising that these powerful figures wanted to take him under their wing.

But judging by her reaction, Si Yu didn’t seem to have the best temper, did she?

The Sect Leader waved his hand and said,
“Sit down, both of you. You’re the two most hot-tempered people in the entire sect. Of course, you both have the right to take disciples, as do the other Peak Masters.”

The Sect Leader then addressed the group.
“Let me ask: who else is interested in taking Han Feng as a disciple?”

The Peak Masters exchanged glances, and just as a few were about to raise their hands, a low, threatening sound came from Si Yu.

“Hmm?”

The intimidating tone caused every other Peak Master to freeze and lower their hands.

Han Feng was stunned. Was his Peak Master really this domineering?

This seemingly young, beautiful, and curvaceous elder sister… was she really this formidable?

One icy hum, and the entire hall of Peak Masters was too scared to even speak?

This was definitely someone worth sticking to!

If he didn’t cling to this thigh now, when would he?

Elder Tie Lian frowned and said,
“Si Yu, what are you trying to do? Are you saying you won’t take him, but you won’t let anyone else take him either?”

Si Yu, her lips barely visible beneath her veil, spoke coldly,
“Did I say I wouldn’t take him? And did I say you couldn’t try to compete?”

“With the way you’re acting, who would dare to compete?”

“Is that my fault?”

“You… Humph! Impossible to reason with women!”

Crack! Si Yu shattered the armrest on her left side.

She stood up slowly and said,
“Whether I take him or not is up to me. I have very strict standards for accepting disciples; I don’t take anyone without exceptional aptitude.

Han Feng claims he has a Wind-Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, but I haven’t personally verified it yet. How could I make such a hasty decision?”

After speaking, Si Yu motioned decisively for Han Feng to step forward.

Without hesitation, Han Feng hurried over obediently.

This woman had a temper—he had to tread carefully.

“Stand still. Don’t move!”

Si Yu reached out her flawless, jade-like hand and placed it on Han Feng’s neck, feeling for something. Then, she moved her hand to his dantian, infusing spiritual energy and extending her divine sense to probe further.

After a moment, Si Yu said,
“It’s true. He has a Wind-Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root. His physical strength is remarkable, his vitality robust, and his bloodline exhibits traces of active, unique spiritual energy. I’m not sure what bloodline it is yet, but it seems promising.

Hmm, still a virgin.”

Han Feng’s face darkened. Was that last remark really necessary?

Si Yu gazed at Han Feng and said nonchalantly,
“When my disciple Jiang Surou chose you, I was initially baffled and couldn’t be bothered to intervene. But now, it seems she made a good choice. You’re worthy of her. She has good taste.”

Jiang Surou’s face turned slightly red. Good taste? She had no such thing. She had chosen Han Feng back then because she had no other options.

At the time, it was either him or a dog. And she couldn’t exactly marry a dog.

But now, it seemed she had really lucked out.

Strange. Both Han Feng and Ye Longyuan had excellent aptitude and gave her similar pressure. So why didn’t she find Han Feng annoying?
