The main hall of the Lotus Sect was already filled with disciples. After they left the Yin-Yang Chamber, Lian Bing immediately gathered all the elders and disciples, for she wanted to formally introduce Ling Yun to them.
Unlike the core disciples, the other disciples had only heard of Ling Yun, but they were also in awe of him, especially after they heard that he had won the competition not long ago.
However, the core disciples were shocked when they sensed that his cultivation had already reached the Soul Realm, which meant that his cultivation was a level higher than Yu Mei and Ling Ling, who were still at the Peak Core Realm.
Lian Bing then said to them. "As I told you several months ago, he is Ling Yun, the only male disciple in our sect, and I hope that you will accept his presence in this sect."
Ling Yun then introduced himself to them, and the disciples asked him many questions. He gladly answered all of their questions, but he was lost when they asked about his cultivation speed.
Seeing him like that, Lian Bing then told them. "Ling Yun is a dual cultivator, so you don't need to be confused by his cultivation speed."
The atmosphere in the main hall instantly became silent after Lian Bing said that, for they were really shocked to hear that, especially the outer and inner disciples. So far, only their Sect Master, Elders, and core disciples know about it.
"I know you must be confused about it, but I will also make three announcements that may change the fate of our sect in the future." Lian Bing then turned to Bing Xue and the elders, and they nodded to her. "From today onwards, any disciples whose Ice Lotus Heart Technique have reached the upper level can marry without leaving our sect, but your husbands are still not allowed to set foot into this sect."
"Eh!?" Lian Bing's words once more astounded the disciples, especially given that their sect's rules had been in place for a very long time. Moreover, Bing Xue and the elders also agreed with her.
"What is your purpose in changing the rules of our sect, Sect Master?" Yu Mei seriously asked, for Lian Bing's decision was so sudden, and they had never even heard any rumors about it.
Lian Bing smiled at her. "I wanted to make the Lotus Sect the strongest in the Cultivator Realm, but our old rules got in the way."
Yu Mei could understand Lian Bing's point; overall, they had always been the weakest in the Cultivator Realm, for their rules left them short of disciples, and their cultivation was also not as fast as other sects. "Then what is the second announcement, Sect Master?"
"For the second thing, I have long discussed this matter with my Master and elders, but I leave the decision in your own hands, and we will not force any of you." Lian Bing didn't say it immediately, and she looked at the expression of the disciples first. "Since you already know that Ling Yun is a dual cultivator, we will allow you to dual cultivate with him."
"What?" All the disciples screamed in shock; even Ling Yun himself was shocked by Lian Bing's decision because she had never discussed it with him.
However, some of them didn't seem interested in it, such as Yu Mei and several other disciples, who preferred monogamous relationships.
Even so, some of them are also interested in it, especially since Ling Yun is handsome and strong, and they also understand the advantages of being a dual cultivator.
Unfortunately, most of them couldn't do it, especially since their Ice Lotus Heart Technique is still in the lower and middle stages, so they still need virginity to train it.
Ling Ling laughed at their reactions, especially seeing the expressions of the core disciples, for almost all of them looked excited about it. She then pulled Mu Lingxue closer and whispered to her. 'Do you want to do it with Yun'er?'
Mu Lingxue turned to her in surprise. 'Why-'
Ling Ling directly interrupted her. 'Sister Lingxue, I've been observing you recently, and I can tell that you've started to take an interest in him, especially after you found out that he kissed you before.'
Mu Lingxue's face blushed brightly upon hearing that, but she didn't deny Ling Ling's words, for she did think of Ling Yun often after that incident. However, she also kept trying to forget him, especially since she could see that he wasn't interested in her, and he kissed her just to save her.
'Hehe, my words hit the spot, right?' Ling Ling embraced Mu Lingxue's shoulder. 'Shall we talk to Yun'er? You don't need to decide hastily, and you might get your answer after talking to him.'
Mu Lingxue nodded to her, for she also wanted to get to know Ling Yun first before making a decision. 'Okay.'
Lian Bing then told them the third thing. "Since I have become Ling Yun's wife, I will be stepping down from my position as the Sect Master of this sect. However, I will always be a part of this sect, and Elder Xue Xing will be the next Sect master."
They were not surprised to hear Lian Bing's third announcement, for they had guessed long ago that she would definitely do it after she became Ling Yun's wife.
After that, Lian Bing told them to leave the main hall and practice. However, her first two announcements caused the situation in the Lotus Sect to become quite boisterous, and those disciples kept talking about Ling Yun.
Xue Xing suddenly said to him. "Young man! My beloved disciple, Wen Qing, is now your wife, so you must always treat her well."
Ling Yun turned to her with a smile. "Elder Xing, the changes in my life started with Wen Qing, and she is my wife now, so without you needing to say that, I will definitely always treat her well."
"That's good." Xue Xing nodded in satisfaction with his answer.
Bing Xue then asked him. "What do you plan to do for the disciples?"
Ling Yun thought for a moment before he bought the five basic pills according to the number of disciples and elders in the sect. He then gave them to Bing Xue and told her the benefits of each pill. "Ancestor Bing and elders, you can all swallow your rations directly, and you can distribute the rest to the disciples. Although they are only basic pills, they will be useful for strengthening the foundations of all of you."
At first, Ling Yun didn't want to give those basic pills to anyone other than those closest to him, but the Lotus Sect was already like Lian Bing's family, and Ling Ling was also growing up in the sect, so he decided to give them the pills.
Bing Xue and the elders smiled in satisfaction at Ling Yun's consideration. "Thank you; these pills will definitely be of great use to all of us."
"No problem." Ling Yun then said to them. "About dual cultivating with them, if they really want to do it with me, then I'll accept anyone who comes to me, but I won't force anyone to do it."
"All right." Bing Xue nodded to him. "Let's just let them think about it first, especially since this change was so sudden, and many of them probably haven't been able to accept it yet."
After Ling Yun nodded to her, Bing Xue and the others immediately left the main hall. Lian Bing then informed him via voice transmission, and she followed after her master.
Ling Yun couldn't help but shake his head at Lian Bing's words, but he couldn't deny that Bing Xue was really tempting, and her extreme yin physique was also very beneficial to him. After that, he left the main hall, but Ling Ling immediately pulled him to go with her, and Mu Lingxue was already waiting for them in another area.
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows as he saw the red hue on Mu Lingxue's cheeks, and Ling Ling told him through the Harem Connection. 'Yun'er! Since you kissed her, Sister Lingxue has been thinking about you, but she has doubts about about you because you seem indifferent to her.'
After she said that, Ling Ling immediately ran away from them, and Mu Lingxue fell into a panic because she had to be alone with Ling Yun.
Seeing her like that, Ling Yun went straight to Mu Lingxue and held her hand, and he said to her. "Even though I kissed you to save your life, I still want to apologize to you because I did it when you were unconscious."
"No... You don't have to think about it, and I don't blame you." Mu Lingxue stammered, and her heart pounded.
Mu Lingxue wanted to pull her hand from Ling Yun's hand, but he held her hand even tighter instead, and he spoke to her. "Since it's my first time coming to this sect, how about you accompany me to have a look around this place?"
"All... all right." Mu Lingxue nodded with a blushing face. "However, there are some areas you can't enter, for many of them are cultivating naked, and they definitely don't want you to see them."
"It's fine; you can show me the general areas."
Afterward, Mu Lingxue took Ling Yun on a sight-seeing tour around their sect as they conversed with each other, which made her calm down a lot.
