Compared to what the master gifted them, these so-called divine-tier profound skills were nothing at all.
Ye Yun said with a light smile, "See? Even Zhiwei agrees, so there's no need to be polite."
"This... alright then."
Fang Wanqiu sighed softly and nodded.
"Since you've put it this way, I won't stand on ceremony and will accept it."
Looking at the precious profound skill, she suppressed the shock in her heart and put it away.
At the same time, she did not forget to express her gratitude, "Regardless, thank you, Elder Ye, oh no, I should call you Alliance Leader Ye now."
Constantly referring to him as Elder Ye was indeed a bit unfitting for his current status.
Ye Yun, however, was not particularly fond of titles. Any name was fine, as long as he wasn't called his son-in-law.
"No need to be polite. I hope these two profound skills will be of some help to you."
Ye Yun smiled.
With that, the gifts had been given.
As the representative of the Star Gazing Immortal Sect, Fang Wanqiu should now return to the sect to make arrangements.
As for Fang Zhiwei, Ye Yun had initially intended for her to return to the Star Gazing Immortal Sect and spend some time with her mother.
However, in the end, she chose to stay by his side, and he had no choice but to agree.
Fang Zhiwei's true intention was, naturally.
"Here in Chaofeng Mountain, so many people are vying for my master, how could I possibly return at this time?"
After all, her mother could accompany her anytime. She was an Emperor-tier expert anyway, not about to die anytime soon.
In comparison, the competition for her master was reaching a fever pitch. She didn't want to return only to find she had acquired a second or third mistress.
Little did Ye Yun know at this moment that Fang Zhiwei's strong desire to stay by his side was to poach him.
On his end, after sending off Fang Wanqiu, two more guests arrived.
"Alliance Leader Ye truly has remarkable methods."
Not far away, Emperor Hongchen, Gu Changfeng, and Xu Binglan walked over together.
The one who had spoken just now was none other than Gu Changfeng.
He said with a smile, "Was my cooperation earlier satisfactory?"
"Of course."
Ye Yun nodded. Judging by his acting skills earlier, it was definitely professional grade.
"If you hadn't stepped forward, it would have taken more effort to completely subdue those fellows."
Gu Changfeng sighed.
"Indeed. With our combined efforts, the persuasion became instantly more effective."
In fact, his seemingly confrontational stance towards Ye Yun earlier was purely a coordinated act.
Using his status to voice the doubts held in their hearts, he appeared to be on their side.
After that, as long as he responded to their questions and led the agreement, the other immortal sects and immortal cities would generally concur.
Once the top factions agreed, even if others had reservations, they would follow suit.
And finally, he would reveal his trump cards: divine-tier profound skills and Emperor-grade weapons.
This would essentially subdue most factions, leading them to form an alliance. Although it wasn't particularly robust, Ye Yun hadn't expected them to play a significant role anyway.
He was using them for the final wrap-up, or rather, as errand runners. As long as there were people to command and the situation wasn't too chaotic, it was sufficient.
Ye Yun looked at Gu Changfeng and smiled.
"Thank you for your earlier assistance. Here is the divine-tier profound skill that was promised to you in advance."
With that, he raised his hand and produced another jade slip.
Gu Changfeng accepted it, his lips curving upwards. He was extremely pleased.
"Then thank you, Alliance Leader Ye."
A divine-tier profound skill! After cultivating for so many years, he finally had the opportunity to glimpse the appearance of such a top-tier profound skill.
It was like a beautiful woman, who had always been veiled, and now he could finally appreciate her true beauty.
For a cultivator at his level, a higher-tier profound skill was precisely this feeling.
If Ye Yun hadn't been present, Gu Changfeng would have likely sat down on the spot and begun cultivating.
He suppressed his excitement and glanced at Xu Binglan beside him, as if remembering something, he asked.
"By the way, you two have been reunited for some time now. How are things between you?"
In his opinion, if Xu Binglan could become Ye Yun's immortal partner, or have some special relationship with him.
It would not only bring her countless benefits but also allow the Hongchen Tower to benefit as well.
Upon hearing this, before Ye Yun could even explain.
Xu Binglan replied calmly, her expression serene.
"This... has not yet occurred."
"..."
As her words fell, both Gu Changfeng and Ye Yun were stunned.
Clearly, they were both taken aback by this sudden, blunt statement.
Ye Yun was curious whether she was genuinely indifferent or feigning ignorance...
Gu Changfeng was somewhat helpless, turning to Ye Yun and asking.
"Perhaps Elder Ye can explain? Hasn't anything happened between you two?"
As he spoke, he wore a slightly lewd smile.
Ye Yun felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation. What had happened? He had to dare first.
Given the current state of Chaofeng Mountain, if he were to break his vows, he would likely be torn apart by the other women the next day.
However, he naturally wouldn't admit to such embarrassing matters. He cleared his throat and offered a more proper reason.
"I apologize. While Elder Xu is indeed outstanding and beautiful, I already have an immortal partner, so I can only disappoint her feelings."
Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, Xu Binglan showed no reaction.
It was as if she hadn't understood that this was Ye Yun's polite rejection.
Gu Changfeng also knew about his situation with Xing Wu, and he sighed.
"That's true. After all, Miss Xing Wu is very outstanding, possesses considerable strength, and her temperament is quite assertive."
At this point, he felt a strange sense of understanding towards Ye Yun.
Listening to him, Ye Yun shrugged helplessly and said.
"Yes, with her personality, if I were to take another one, it would be quite dangerous."
As soon as he said this, Gu Changfeng seemed to hear some interesting gossip.
He leaned in curiously, smiling as he asked.
"Speaking of which, does Xing Wu control you very strictly?"
With that look and tone, he seemed a bit like an old woman from a village.
Ye Yun coughed lightly, speaking with a hint of awkwardness.
"You could say that. Sometimes she's quite terrifying. She's too fierce."
"Normal, perfectly normal. Women. They have bad moods for about thirty days out of every month."
Gu Changfeng shook his head and sighed, as if his bad memories had been triggered.
His reaction made Ye Yun raise an eyebrow and ask in return.
"Oh? From what you're saying, your household is also..."
"Alas..."
Gu Changfeng let out a long sigh, filled with emotion.
"It brings tears to my eyes just to talk about it. Take my advice, don't provoke your wife if you can help it."
From him, Ye Yun seemed to see countless tales of woe.
