Chu Feng sat outside the entrance to the smithy with a look of worry written on his face .
He had put forth so much effort and did all those things because he wanted Old Freak Tang to help him remove Bai Liluo’s curse .
However, Chu Feng truly did not have any romantic feelings for Song Ge . It was even more of an impossibility for him to marry her for the sake of obtaining curse techniques . If he were to do that, he would be harming both Song Ge and himself .
However, with Old Freak Tang’s personality, he might really end up destroying his curse techniques .
This made things very difficult for Chu Feng .
He sighed . “I can only hope that Old Freak Tang is not that stubborn; hope that he doesn’t destroy the curse techniques, and instead teaches them to Song Ge . ”
Chu Feng felt very helpless . Submitting to fate was the thing he detested doing the most . However, at that moment he had no choice but to do so .
As such, Chu Feng could only wait . . .
He could only wait for Old Freak Tang and Song Ge to meet in two days .
Two days later . Chu Feng arrived at the Void Cleanse Monastery ahead of time .
“Is this Fate-changing Bell actually this famous?”
When Chu Feng arrived at the location of the Fate-changing Bell, he was somewhat flabbergasted .
The reason for that was because the plaza the Fate-changing Bell was in was completely packed with people . It seemed like all the elders and disciples of the Void Cleanse Monastery had arrived there .
There stood a woman before the Fate-changing Bell .
That woman was somewhat good-looking . However, she had a slightly crafty look to her face, and did not belong to the type that Chu Feng was fond of .
That woman was also an elder of the Void Cleanse Monastery . Her age was similar to Song Ge’s . Her cultivation was also identical to Song Ge's; that of a rank one Heavenly Immortal .
She stood before the Fate-changing Bell and seemed to be waiting for something .
She gave off a very imposing air, and seemed like the queen of the entire Void Cleanse Monastery .
From the discussions of the bystanders nearby, Chu Feng learned that the woman was named Zuo Ying .
Like Song Ge, Zuo Ying was an influential figure in the Void Cleanse Monastery due to her good looks and exceptional talent .
She was also Song Ge’s rival .
In recent days, she had been competing against Song Ge for the Void Cleanse Monastery’s outer sect’s head elder position .
Originally, Song Ge and Zuo Ying were completely equal in terms of both martial cultivation and ability . The Void Cleanse Monastery was also unable to make a decision between the two of them .
Feeling helpless, they could only consider other alternatives . As for the alternative they had decided upon, it was by means of a popular vote .
Although Song Ge and Zuo Ying were completely equal in all other aspects, Song Ge was much more popular than Zuo Ying .
Although Song Ge was also an ice-cold beauty in the Void Cleanse Monastery, she was willing to help others in all sorts of things . Because of that, the crowd was more fond of her .
However, at the moment when the outcome was determined, Zuo Ying’s father suddenly arrived at the Void Cleanse Monastery .
It turned out that Zuo Ying’s father was a Martial Immortal-level expert . Furthermore, he possessed the cultivation of rank three Martial Immortal .
Most importantly, Zuo Ying’s father did not belong to any sect, and was willing to join the Void Cleanse Monastery as a nominal elder .
However, Zuo Ying’s father gave a condition . That is, he demanded that his daughter become the outer sect’s head elder .
One should know that the Void Cleanse Monastery’s headmaster was only a rank four Martial Immortal-level cultivator .
A rank three Martial Immortal-level cultivator was willing to join their Void Cleanse Monastery . Naturally, that was something that the Void Cleanse Monastery sought .
Thus, after Zuo Ying’s father gave the demand, the Void Cleanse Monastery did not hesitate in the slightest, and handed the position of the outer sect’s head elder to Zuo Ying .
Furthermore, they decided to publicly recognize Zuo Ying as the outer sect’s head elder on that particular day .
Furthermore, the person appointing Zuo Ying her title was none other than her father .
This was the reason why there were so many people gathered here .
The Void Cleanse Monastery was giving face to Zuo Ying’s father, and deliberately ordering their people to be there .
Upon learning about the matter, Chu Feng realized why Song Ge was somewhat unwilling when she learned that he wanted to meet her there .
It turned out, such a special event was occurring there on the same day .
At the same time, Chu Feng understood why Old Freak Tang insisted on recognizing Song Ge as his daughter at that place and time .
Old Freak Tang must’ve known about this matter . That was why he wanted to stand up for her .
“Look! Isn’t that Song Ge?”
Suddenly, a disturbance occurred among the crowd . Song Ge had appeared .
“She actually came? I’d thought that she would not come here today . ”
“Alas . Elder Song Ge’s tolerance is truly strong . If I were in her shoes, I would definitely not come . After all, it will be truly too sullen to be here today . ”
“There’s nothing that can be done . After all, Elder Zuo Ying has such a powerful father . ”
The crowd immediately engaging in spirited discussions upon Song Ge’s arrival .
There were people that were sympathetic toward Song Ge and also people that ridiculed her . All sorts of things were said nonstop .
As for Song Ge, perhaps because she was afraid that Chu Feng would not be able to see her, she had deliberately stood at a very obvious location .
Even when rumors were assailing her ears like a torrential storm, she remained unmoved, and continued to resist everything .
Although Song Ge was unaffected by the crowd’s discussions, the place where she stood was simply too eye-catching . Because of that, Zuo Ying became displeased .
“Elder Song Ge, you are truly impressive . Those who don't know might even believe the main character here today to be Elder Song Ge,” Zuo Ying said to Song Ge with a mocking tone .
“Elder Zuo Ying, congratulations . ”
Song Ge did not refute Zuo Ying . Instead, she smiled at her .
Facing such a Song Ge, Zuo Ying felt that her ruthless punch had landed on a pile of cotton . This caused her even greater displeasure .
However, as Song Ge had even offered her congratulations, it was unsuitable for her to say anything else .
Thus, she could only forcibly swallow the displeasure in her heart .
She thought to herself, ‘In the future, I will be the outer sect’s head elder . As for you, Song Ge, you will only be a common elder of the outer sect . Since you’ll be working for me, prepare to suffer . I will slowly settle our previous debt with you . ’
After thinking that, Zuo Ying’s feeling of displeasure eased a lot .
“Elder Zuo Ying, why did you arrive so early? It’s still not time yet . ”
Suddenly, a voice was heard .
Following that, a group of people appeared from the sky and landed in the plaza .
Seeing those people, everyone present felt deep veneration .
The reason for that was because those people were the upper echelons of the Void Cleanse Monastery . As for the person who had spoken earlier, he was the Void Cleanse Monastery’s strongest expert, their headmaster .
Normally, as he was the Void Cleanse Monastery’s headmaster, he simply did not have to greet an elder from the outer sect .
However, not only had the Void Cleanse Monastery’s headmaster greeted Zuo Ying, but his tone was also very good-natured .
The people from the Void Cleanse Monastery all knew that their headmaster was not normally such a good-natured person .
Furthermore, they also all knew that it was all due to Zuo Ying’s father that their headmaster was acting in such a manner .
