To be honest, in his previous life, he joined the sect twenty years late, and by then, Su Miaoqing was already a stunning beauty.
He had once been infatuated with Su Miaoqing, secretly admiring her for a time.
Seeing the beauty from his childhood again, he felt a mix of emotions. He solemnly cupped his hands and smiled, "Xiao Yifeng greets Senior Sister."
"Good boy! Hehe..." Su Miaoqing, as if discovering a treasure, didn't expect this straightforward boy to be so tactful.
She beamed with joy and said to Lin Ziyun, "Mom, this kid is quite clever! He even knows to call me Senior Sister on his own."
Her playful demeanor made several senior brothers and sisters laugh, and Xiao Yifeng joined in the laughter.
Su Miaoqing was always ranked last in Boundless Hall, and although the other senior brothers and sisters cared for her greatly, the age gap was too large.
As for the servant disciples and the latter disciples, as the little princess, she naturally looked down on them.
Su Miaoqing happily said, "Good boy, little junior brother, you must listen to your Senior Sister from now on."
Xiao Yifeng responded, "Yes, Senior Sister."
Lin Ziyun shook her head helplessly and said to Xiang Tiange, "Tiange, your little junior brother is still young. When he attends classes with Qing'er, he joined late, so take care of him a bit more. Don't let the disciples below bully him."
Xiang Tiange respectfully replied, "Yes, Master's Wife, rest assured."
The other ten or so true disciples stepped forward one by one to introduce themselves and greet Xiao Yifeng.
Including Xiao Yifeng, Su Qianyi now had a total of eighteen true disciples.
Three of them were currently away, so only Xiao Yifeng and fifteen others were in Boundless Hall, and Su Miaoqing was also one of Su Qianyi's true disciples.
Currently, only Xiao Yifeng, Su Miaoqing, and seven other senior brothers who joined in the past few decades did not have the qualification to establish their own peaks.
These nine were just qualified to participate in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competition's Talented Group, while Xiang Tiange and others, who had been cultivating for over a hundred years, participated in the Prodigy Group.
Having lived two lives, Xiao Yifeng was naturally very familiar with Su Qianyi's disciples and greeted each senior brother.
An elderly-looking man in his seventies was Xiao Yifeng's second senior brother, Daoist Lingxu, who looked even older than their master, Su Qianyi.
Lingxu had an immortal-like demeanor, and people might believe he was the master of Boundless Hall.
He was kind-hearted, started cultivating late, but had exceptional talent. Now he was a late-stage Elemental Infant expert, at the same level as Xiang Tiange.
Among them, a cold-faced man and a woman in red left a deep impression on Xiao Yifeng. The cold-faced man was his third senior brother, Gong Tianyu, with mid-stage Elemental Infant cultivation.
The woman in red was his fourth senior sister, Ju Youshan, with an average appearance, only considered sweet, and early-stage Elemental Infant cultivation.
Ju Youshan was very close to Su Miaoqing and later became a Dao companion with the third senior brother.
These four were the Elemental Infant experts among the disciples of Boundless Hall, and Xiao Yifeng suspected one of them was a traitor, leading to the downfall of Boundless Hall.
In his previous life, Xiao Yifeng never found out who it was, and now, as he looked closely at them, he couldn't discern any clues.
As for the brawny man, he was Xiao Yifeng's fifth senior brother, Cheng Hong Zhenren, skilled in artifact refining, among other things, which need not be mentioned.
After meeting the senior brothers and sisters, Lin Ziyun instructed, "Tiange, Yifeng is still young, and it's time to build his physique. Arrange for him to stay at the Star Convergence Courtyard on the Main Peak.
Take him to the Star Convergence Courtyard first, change his clothes, and then come join us for a meal."
Lin Ziyun gave her instructions, inviting all the true disciples to stay for a meal to celebrate Xiao Yifeng's entry into the sect.
Xiang Tiange led Xiao Yifeng to his residence, heading straight to the backyard after leaving the hall.
The two walked one after the other towards the grand courtyard. Along the way, Xiang Tiange introduced each small courtyard to Xiao Yifeng.
Xiang Tiange smiled and said, "Little Feng, I'll help you get familiar with the paths. You'll need to come and go on your own in the future, and I'll also tell you about the sect rules and precepts."
Xiao Yifeng nodded in agreement, having lived here for so long, he naturally knew them.

This backyard was the residence of Su Qianyi and his disciples, occupying a vast area with pavilions and towers arranged beautifully, adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings.
The grandeur of this place could shame mortal emperors, yet it had an ethereal aura absent in mortal palaces, blending perfectly.
Su Qianyi's family lived in the Dao-Enlightenment Garden in the middle, and Xiao Yifeng's residence was no different from his previous life.
Only now, he moved in over twenty years earlier, to a small courtyard next to the Dao-Enlightenment Garden.
The courtyard wasn't large, with a three-story building, a rock garden with flowing water at the front, a pine tree, and many green bamboos planted inside.
Due to the formation set in the courtyard, moon and starlight would fall at night, greatly benefiting cultivation, hence the name Star Convergence Courtyard.
It was originally Xiang Tiange's residence, but since he established his own peak, it had been vacant, with no one living there.
By now, the sky was getting late, the sun setting in the west, with a sky full of evening clouds, and the sunset casting its glow on Boundless Hall.
Listening to Xiang Tiange's deep and familiar voice, and looking at his broad and sturdy figure, Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but smile gently.
Returning to Boundless Hall seemed quite nice, with his master and master's wife treating him well.
Xiang Tiange brought Xiao Yifeng back to the Star Convergence Courtyard, where a servant disciple was already waiting.
On the way, he had used a communication talisman to have the servant disciple deliver Xiao Yifeng's disciple robe and identity token to the room.
Xiang Tiange was meticulous and thorough in his work, earning the trust of Su Qianyi and his wife.
After a brief introduction to the courtyard, Xiang Tiange waited in the first-floor hall while Xiao Yifeng went upstairs to change clothes.
***
Soon, Xiao Yifeng came down, wearing a jade crown, a white robe, a blue outer robe, a jade belt around his waist, and an azure jade tablet hanging from it.
Now, his attire was no different from Xiang Tiange's, only smaller in size.
The Heaven-Inquiry Sect had strict rules on hierarchy, and one could generally tell a disciple's status from the color of their outer robe.
Servant disciples wore gray robes, ordinary disciples wore yellow, latter disciples wore purple, and true disciples wore light blue.
Xiang Tiange examined him and laughed heartily, "Junior Brother Yifeng is indeed handsome, wearing our Heaven-Inquiry Sect's attire, truly extraordinary. You'll be something when you grow up."
Xiao Yifeng rubbed his nose, embarrassed, "Senior Brother, don't tease me."
Xiang Tiange patted his head affectionately and said, "Come, Senior Brother will take you to the dining hall to eat with Master and Master's Wife.
You don't know, the food is excellent. Master's Wife piles all sorts of heavenly treasures on the table for Junior Sister, greatly benefiting cultivation."
He showed a reminiscent expression and said, "The main thing is, it's very delicious! It makes us senior brothers drool."
Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but laugh at his exaggerated expression.
