Chapter 40: The Sword Alliance
"Longman, if there's anything, just tell me directly. Ye Feng said.
Ye Feng's peaceful attitude made Longwen's hanging heart relax. He quietly glanced at Lin Huaiyu, who was standing in the courtyard at a loss, and the other two disciples who didn't dare to fight with everyone just now, and shook his head helplessly.
"That's right, Lin Huaiyu came to me just now, he meant to pay some protection money, and then let us protect the three of them. Longman said cautiously.
"Is this just this?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother Lang, you can just make your own decisions about this kind of thing." Also, you can tell Lin Huaiyu and the three of them that they don't need to pay protection fees, as long as they can work together with everyone and be consistent with the outside world, they are our good brothers. ”
Seeing Ye Feng agreeing so happily, a trace of gratitude appeared on Longwen's face.
In fact, he had long known that there was a gap between Ye Feng and Lin Huaiyu, and in his mind, it would definitely take a certain amount of time to persuade Ye Feng, but he didn't expect Ye Feng to agree so happily.
Ye Feng was so magnanimous, which made Longman admire Ye Feng again.
He stood up, walked into the courtyard, whispered to Lin Huaiyu and the three of them for a while, and led the three into the room.
"Senior Brother Ye, Lin Huaiyu has something to say. Longman said with a smile.
After saying this, he gently pushed Lin Huaiyu and motioned for him to take the initiative to step forward.
"Senior Brother Ye, I have offended many times before, and it is all my fault. I also hope that you will have a lot of adults and don't bother with me. As he spoke, Lin Huaiyu faced Ye Feng and bowed deeply.
"Get up. Ye Feng stood up and helped Lin Huaiyu up.
He stared at Lin Huaiyu for a long time, and after making sure that what he said was not a hypocrisy, he smiled brightly.
There was a dislike between him and Lin Huaiyu, but it was a few months ago. Thinking that now that Lin Huaiyu had just become a first-level swordsman and he had become a sixth-level swordsman, Ye Feng had a feeling of being in a dream.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the purple pendant on his chest. Finding that the pendant still didn't react, his expression couldn't help but darken.
If it weren't for Xiao Bai, Ye Feng would have been expelled from the sect by now. Thinking of all the efforts that Xiao Bai had made for himself, Ye Feng's heart swelled with warmth.
"Senior Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely enter the Falling Flower Palace one day and snatch your body back. Ye Feng said secretly in his heart.
After being stunned for a short time, Ye Feng regained consciousness. He gently patted Lin Huaiyu's shoulder and said, "It's okay. You can't be blamed entirely for the events of that day. Think about who I was at that time, and you can't do that too much. ”
Lin Huaiyu's face turned red, and he looked back at Longwen. Seeing that Longwen was covering his mouth and snickering, he realized that Ye Feng was joking.
He faced Ye Feng, nodded heavily, and swore that "Senior Brother Ye, don't worry, from now on, I, Lin Huaiyu, am willing to follow you, even if I leave the Lishui Sword Sect in the future, I will always regard you as a senior brother." ”
Lin Huaiyu's oath represents the thoughts of everyone present. Although Longwen and the others did not confess, in their hearts, they all agreed with Lin Huaiyu's words.
Outside the courtyard gate, there was a rush of footsteps. In less than a moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and more than a dozen inner courtyard disciples walked in.
Seeing the faces of these inner court disciples clearly, the faces of all Longman people changed.
Almost at the same time, the Longman people drew their long swords and rushed into the courtyard quickly.
Behind Longman and the others, Ye Feng walked out slowly. Seeing that the group of people who entered belonged to various different forces, his eyes also burst out with a cold light.
Coming straight to the man with a fierce face and a long sword in his hand, Ye Feng asked in a deep voice, "You are here, but you are here to return the silver ticket?"
There were thirteen people who came from thirteen different groups. Seeing Ye Feng, the eyes of these people showed a hint of fear at the same time.
The sword-wielding man at the head immediately changed his face after hearing Ye Feng's words.
He quickly inserted the long sword back into the sword bag behind his back, and then bent down and saluted Ye Feng.
"Senior Brother Ye, I am here to send you a silver ticket on behalf of Ling Luotang. Our hall master said that he didn't know that Senior Brother Ye was also one of the new disciples, and if he knew, he would never send someone to collect protection money. With that, the swordsman took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and presented them to Ye Feng.
Seeing that the other party was so happy to present the silver ticket, Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Just now, he thought that this group of people should come to the door to provoke, but he didn't expect them to give in so easily and give the silver ticket.
After the Ling Luo Hall disciple presented the silver ticket, the other twelve people behind him also took out the silver ticket from his arms.
The rhetoric in their mouths was almost the same as that of Ling Luotang's disciples, all of them said that they didn't know that Ye Feng was a new disciple, otherwise they would never come to the door to collect protection money.
The rhetoric and attitudes of many outsiders made the Longman people who thought that a vicious battle was about to take place, and they were all stunned. They looked at these low-voiced inner courtyard disciples in a daze, and then at Ye Feng, their eyes full of envy.
It can make the inner court disciples willing to give up, except for Ye Feng, no one can do it.
Including Lin Huaiyu, everyone's expressions when they looked at Ye Feng changed from admiration to admiration.
After many inner court disciples gave the silver tickets, they left one after another. Shortly after they left, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.
More than a dozen disciples in purple shirts poured in from outside the door.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the disciples of the Purple Shirt Hall led by Wu Taohan came to Ye Feng and bowed deeply.
"Senior Brother Ye, I, Wu Taohan, have no eyes, I have offended you, please forgive me. Here is a thousand taels of silver tickets, which I have prepared for you as you have instructed, and I hope you will accept them. While speaking, Wu Taohan held a stack of silver tickets and presented them to Ye Feng.
Wu Taohan's change made Ye Feng stunned. If the attitude of the group of disciples just now could only surprise him, then Wu Taohan's current performance made him full of doubts.
Ye Feng is not a person without self-knowledge, and he knows that what he has done today can have a deterrent effect, but it cannot be convincing.
Right now, even Wu Taohan has come to the door to make amends, which is absolutely weird.
Ye Feng did not take the silver ticket handed over by Wu Taohan, but stared at the other party with blazing eyes.
"What made you change your mind?" Ye Feng asked.
Ye Feng's question made Wu Taohan's face change. He shuddered, stuffed the silver ticket into Ye Feng's hand, and then hurriedly waved his hand to his subordinates.
"Senior Brother Ye, I have disturbed you a lot before, and I ask you to forgive me. If it's okay, we'll go first. After saying this, Wu Taohan didn't stop any longer, led the disciples of the Purple Shirt Hall, and left the courtyard directly.
Wu Taohan's panicked appearance made Ye Feng even more puzzled.
Looking at the trees outside the courtyard, Ye Feng's face suddenly froze.
"Who?" Ye Feng's body was like electricity, and he jumped out of the courtyard.
As soon as his figure entered the bushes, a dark shadow swept in front of him, and disappeared from his sight in an instant.
"That person's body is ......" Ye Feng looked at the direction where the black shadow disappeared, and his heart palpitated.
With his current strength, he couldn't even see clearly what kind of body the black shadow was using.
After patrolling the bushes for a while and finding no abnormalities, Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder.
It stands to reason that no one should pay attention to their group of new disciples. But what is the reason for this black shadow with obvious strength, hiding in the bushes outside the new disciple's residence.
Thinking of the performance of Wu Taohan and other inner court disciples, Ye Feng vaguely guessed the intention of the man in black to come here.
If he is not mistaken, the appearance of the man in black here should be related to the incident of Wu Taohan and others returning the silver ticket. It's just that Ye Feng didn't know anyone in the inner courtyard, let alone the kind of master whose strength far surpassed that of a swordsman.
Ye Feng returned to the courtyard with full doubts. As soon as he entered the cross-hospital, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The originally empty courtyard was now full of people. Except for the new disciples such as Long Wen, the others were all inner court disciples who looked extremely bright.
Seeing Ye Feng enter, the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.
In the crowd, a teenager who looked to be no more than ten years old walked out.
He came to Ye Feng, bowed deeply, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, I am Zhang Han, a disciple of the Inner Court. I have come here to seek your protection. You can rest assured, I will never let you protect in vain, here is a hundred taels of silver, please smile. ”
Zhang Han took out a package from behind him, held it in both hands and sent it to Ye Feng.
After he made this move, the group of inner courtyard disciples behind him also took out scattered silver taels or silver tickets from their packages or pockets, and presented them all in front of Ye Feng.
"Senior Brother Ye, from now on, please take care of me. Many inner courtyard disciples said in unison.
Facing everyone's plea, Ye Feng was confused.
He glanced back at Longwen, who was snickering, and asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Feng's question immediately made Longwen hold back a smile. He attached it to Ye Feng's ear and whispered, "Senior Brother Ye, you have made us so miserable. If it weren't for these senior brothers saying that you were accepted as a closed disciple by Sect Master Hai, we would still be in the dark. ”
"I was accepted as a closed disciple by Hai Wuya?" Ye Feng looked at Longwen in a daze, and wondered in his heart.
He had seen the sea without a pretense, but when was he accepted as a closed disciple.
Ye Feng wanted to explain, but he knew that with the current situation, it was useless for him to justify.
Since the defense was futile, he didn't mind being misunderstood. After all, the identity of Hai Wuya's closed disciple will bring great convenience to himself and everyone in Longman.
After a deep sigh, Ye Feng said loudly: "Everyone, thank you for your love for me. But I ask you to take it back. If you can trust it, you will stay here from now on. I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, there will be a great leap in strength, and at that time, we will not need the protection of others, and everyone will be able to live a good life. ”
Ye Feng's promise made many inner court disciples happy. Zhang Han, who was the leader of the crowd, heard Ye Feng's words like this, and immediately smiled in understanding.
He took back the silver taels he had offered, and then said loudly to the many inner courtyard disciples, "Everyone, since Senior Brother Ye said so, let's take the silver taels back." However, I want to warn you, no matter what happens from now on, everyone must be of the same mind as Senior Brother Ye, can you do it?"
"Yes!" Not only many inner court disciples, including Longwen and Lu Fei, also shouted in unison.
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Zhang Han smiled, came to Ye Feng, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, since everyone is willing to obey your leadership, why don't we also form a force in the inner courtyard." Look, what should be the name of this newly formed force of ours?"
Facing Zhang Han's suggestion, Ye Feng nodded helplessly.
So far, although he doesn't want to establish a force, he has to accept it.
After a moment of silence, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
He thought of Xiao Bai, who taught him the exercises, and also thought of the sect to which Xiao Bai belonged, the Sword Hall.
Since the force to which Xiao Bai belongs is called the Sword Hall, the sect he established must also be related to the Sword Hall.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng smiled slightly, and said loudly: "From now on, the force we formed will be called the Sword Alliance." I believe that with everyone's concerted efforts, the Sword Alliance will definitely have a broader tomorrow!"
Today's boutique small seal push, ironclad four more outbreaks, summoning red tickets, collection, everyone's support is the driving force for the outbreak of the tiger.
