The hall was filled with people, the peak masters of each mountain and the Elders were all present, they even had their disciples behind them.
Gui Yiâs Sect Master sat in the main seat, smiling as he looked at the two people that walked in. With the exception of Shu Yi who didnât look friendly, the other Nascent Soul Elders all wore the same expressions, vaguely coupled with some hints of admiration, of course all of that was at Zuo Shuming.
Both of them respectfully bowed, Yu Luan then explained to everyone. âI summoned all Junior Brothers here today, mainly to inform everyone that I think these two disciples are not bad and I intend to officially make them my disciples. What does everyone think?â
Once his words fell, all the Elders looked like theyâd expected it, as if theyâd long guessed Yu Luanâs intentions. On the contrary, Shu Yiâs expression darkened.
âI said so!â An elder said, smiling, âOur Gui Yi Sect hasnât seen a disciple having an epiphany in so long. I also wanted to make him my disciple, who knew Senior Brother acted so quickly.â
âIf Junior Brothers have no objections, then I will accept these two disciples.â Yu Luanâs smile grew wider, then looked towards the two people in the middle. âI think youâre called Lonemoon? From today onwards, you shall be the 13th disciple under me.â
ââŠâ Lonemoon stiffened, he really didnât expect that they were summoned here to be taken as disciples. Honestly speaking, he really didnât want to acknowledge a master, the inconvenience in moving about was one thing, his master didnât know as much as he did too. He was about to come up with an excuse to reject him.
âAs for Zuo ShumingâŠâ Yu Luan turned to look towards Zuo Shuming, the satisfaction in his eyes deepening. âFrom today onwards, you shall be my personal disciple!â
The moment he finished his sentence, everyone was shocked. They didnât expect that he would take him in as his personal disciple! They didnât expect that Senior Brother Sect Master had so much faith in this person.
âHow can that be!â Shu Yi was stunned and blurted out.
How could he be a personal disciple, one must know that there was a difference between average disciples and personal disciples. There are usually only one personal disciple and a handing down mark will be left on his or her consciousness, that is something that cannot be casually removed. Masters also give everything to their personal disciples and wouldnât hide anything from them.
Shu Yi was instantly flustered, Yu Luan was the Sect Master of Gui Yi Sect, if Zuo Shuming were to become his personal disciple, then wouldnât he get everything he desires? Then wouldnât he received an even better treatment then he had in his last life at Dan Xia Mountain. Although he received pointers from Supremacy Tian Yi in his previous life, he was only accepted as a disciple under him only after his core formation and he was merely one of his many disciples.
âSect Master, how could you accept him as your personal disciple!â She stepped out directly.
âOh, why?â Yu Luan faltered and asked subconsciously.
âLittle Yi!â Shu Yuan frowned and chided Shu Yi with slightly anger. âDo not be rude!â As he did, he was about to reach out to pull her back.
Shu Yi came back to her senses, her eyes darted around before she continued to say, âHow can we be so casual with Sect Masterâs personal disciple? I donât see anything special with this disciple and heâs merely a triple spirit root in the Foundation Establishment.â She inhaled deeply and said worriedly, âMoreover, you are the Sect Master. Your personal disciple concerns the future of our sect. Many Golden Core senior brothers havenât even had the chance to be accepted as your disciple? Sect Master must be prudent!â
Upon hearing that, everyone thought that she made sense too. Sure enough, the personal disciple of the Sect Master, without any accidents, would probably become the next Sect Master. He must choose prudently indeed.
âBut I think this disciple is very suitable.â Yu Luanâs smile grew wider, yet he had no intention of changing his mind at all. âThere are things that all of you do not know, Iâve been paying attention to this child for a long time, though he is a triple spirit root and seems to be of average qualifications, it is not actually so. He has joined my Gui Yi Sect for less than a year, yet he has cultivated from level seven of Qi Refinement to late stage Foundation Establishment now. I think even celestial spirit roots do not have this speed!â
A hint of surprise flash through everyoneâs eyes, with such a speed, he was really a prodigy that heaven indulged.
âJust by watching a lightning tribulation, he had an epiphany, this proves that his aptitude isnât attainable by the ordinary. And he had once, while he was still in the outer sect, grew a spirit field full of variant spirit herbs in a barren spirit field.â
âHe was the one who grew that variant spirit herb!â The crowd was shocked, an Elder was even brought to his feet.
âIt was!â Yu Luan nodded. âAlthough those spirit herbs appeared because of the living spirit vein, without this luck, how could it just happen to be him. Everything that us, as immortal cultivators do, goes against the heavens. But this child, doesnât lack any of the qualifications, aptitude and luck. After taking the initiative to hand in all the variant spirit herbs, he never had any demands. After his epiphany, he was neither conceited nor rash and has been diligently practicing cultivation these days. It is evident that his disposition is excellent.â
Everyone was surprised even further, the gazes they gave to Zuo Shuming were filled with admiration.
âA disciple like that is indeed not bad.â
âThatâs right, there are lesser and lesser outstanding people like him now, no wonder Sect Master was in a hurry to take him in as your personal disciple.â
âEverything else is secondary!â Even Shu Yuan could not help but praise. âHis disposition alone is something that others cannot achieve. Senior Brother Sect Master has a good eye!â
Watching as Zuo Shuming becoming a personal disciple was about to settled upon, Shu Yi became even more anxious. âBut Sect MasterâŠâ
âLittle YiâŠâ Shu Yuan cut off his daughterâs words and glanced at her, saying, âDo not stir trouble! Sect Master knows what heâs doing. Just based on dispositions, even you cannot compare to him!â
âWhat!â Shu Yiâs eyes widened in disbelief, but a voice that made her even more indignant sounded by her ears.
[Ding! Original ownerâs resentment level +10! Warning! When resentment level hits 100, the mission is automatically failed.]
F*ck! Why was the resentment level increasing again!
Shu Yiâs anger was burning from inside, she even started to let her tongue loose. âWho said I cannot compare to him!â She had completed her Core Formation and her cultivation had always been above his!
Shu Yuanâs brows knitted together, slightly displeased with his daughterâs unreasonable tantrum, he was about to reprimand her when a cold male voice rang in the hall.
âWho said my Little Yi cannot compare to others!â
The next second, everyone felt a strong gust of wing sweep into the hall, coupled with an overpowering suppression, a figure in black appeared in the hall, radiating an icy aura as he swept his discontented glare across everyone.
Everyone was shocked and instantly recognized this person, all including the Sect Master stood up and bowed to him with cupped fists. âGreetings Uncle-Master Tian Ji!â This person was the other Soul Formation Supremacy of Gui Yi Sect.
Lonemoon lifted a brow, hey, the person who turned demonic was here. But for some reason, the demonic Qi in his body was all suppressed in his dantian, as if itâd been locked in by something.
âChef? Whatâs going on?â Lonemoon turned and glanced at Yi Qing.
âThereâs an energy in his dantian that does not belong to this plane that is suppressing the demonic Qi and keeping him from completely turning demonic.â Yi Qing said.
I see, judging by his imposing manner that was here to stand up for Shu Yi, seems like itâs the work of that system again.
