If none of the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders had a chance to acknowledge their teacher, then naturally, no one would cause a ruckus.
However, in their hearts, these few strangers from the countryside had just arrived in the Celestial Sect of Wonders and were about to s.n.a.t.c.h away their opportunity. How could the hearts of these disciples be willing to give up?
….
The ceremony of taking in a master had not yet started. Ye Feng and the others were waiting in the guest hall of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
One row was filled with students, and the other with members of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. The two waves of people stood facing each other across a corridor.
"What's the situation outside?" The light in Adept Liu's eyes vanished as he chuckled and asked one of his disciples.
"According to what Daoist Master has said, we have successfully stirred up the emotions of a few outer sect disciples. They are already on their way here." That disciple whispered into Daoist Master Liu's ear with a respectful expression.
Adept Liu smiled gloomily. "Very good. Wait until they are almost at the door. Remember to tell me …"
"Yes."
He raised his head and glanced at the martial inst.i.tution's students. His eyes were filled with disdain.
"Hehe, these b.u.mpkins from the Martial House really think that they can acknowledge the master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. According to Elder Suo's words, they are just putting on an act to let them know that the higher ups of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are doing their best to show them off. However, they are helpless and oppose them too loudly. Only then did they give up."
It didn't matter where they were discriminating. Some people naturally thought of themselves as superior to others, but they didn't know that in the eyes of others, they were nothing more than countryside b.u.mpkins.
When they were in the Martial House, the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders were considered as guests and were naturally polite. However, once they returned to their own territories, it would be different. Everyone had their own thoughts.
However, when he smirked and swept his gaze over Ye Wen, he was stunned to discover that the other party was also closely staring at him. The cold gaze seemed to be trying to freeze his entire body.
His disciple's face revealed an expression of slight surprise. "What's wrong, Daoist Master? Judging from your complexion, you don't seem to be very good. Did you just return from the Lei Zhou City? You must be tired."
Adept Liu retracted his gaze and shook his head. "Nothing … nothing …" "This must be my imagination."
He expected that even if Ye Wen, a mere Qi Condensation student, was a bit outstanding, what could he do? Within the Celestial Sect of Wonders, any random person would be able to defeat him.
And on the other side.
Liu Bingqian looked at Ye Feng's cold eyes and revealed a look of confusion.
"Brute big brother, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing her words, Ye Wen's expression gradually returned to normal, turning into a warm smile.
"Actually, it's nothing. You don't need to worry about it. Compared to that, among the other people, which one do you plan on choosing as your master?"
Originally, he didn't want to take on a master of a real person and freely use the abundant spiritual energy to cultivate. This was what he wanted, so he was the most open-minded.
Liu Bingqian smiled sweetly and shook her head, "How can I choose their side? They might not even think much of me."
In her heart, she secretly felt that Ye Feng's question was a little unnecessary.
"Since you haven't considered it yet, when there's a chance, you can choose …" "The furthest."
Ye Wen smiled and pointed with his finger.
"Good, I understand." Liu Bingqian smiled at him and nodded.
Following the direction Ye Wen was pointing at, it was precisely where Elder Zhao was standing.
Elder Zhao's mind shook as he thought, "Something's wrong. I intentionally stood at the corner in fear of being targeted by Ye Feng. However, when he saw Ye Feng point a finger at me, he immediately let out a bitter laugh and shook his head in lamentation. His luck was terrible."
After all, this time's ceremony was just like what Adept Liu had said before. He had only gathered the necessary people. Most of the Adepts he had gathered had already informed him that they wouldn't actually accept a disciple.
Thus, they had only come here once, but if it was Elder Zhao, then things would be different. After all, he and Ye Feng were acquainted. No matter what, they had to give him face.
"Xue Yi, did you hear what I said just now? You also follow Bing Qian to acknowledge him as her teacher." Ye Yifeng smiled slightly as he turned his head to look at the other and said.
Ye Xueyi had a smile in her phoenix eyes as astonishment flashed across her eyes. "Brother Zi Feng, it seems that you know quite a few powerful people. Alright, I understand. If there's a chance, I will join you with Sister Bing Qian."
After she had seen Elder Shen and Ye Qian Feng's interaction, she felt that her mental fort.i.tude had risen to another level. Even if Ye Feng told her that he really was on good terms with Elder Zhao, she would still happily accept it.
….
"Alright, it's about time."
The light in Old Man Suo's eyes swept across everyone. After exchanging glances with Liu, he immediately began to speak.
"Next, I declare that the ceremony of taking you as my teacher shall officially begin. First, I will introduce the five students on this side to the two of you. These five students were sent by the Martial House to exchange knowledge with the Celestial Sect."
The two sides had been staring at each other for quite a while now, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward. However, there were still some things that could not be explained by the students' words.
"Greetings everyone."
At the same time, Old Suo surveyed his surroundings. His gaze was actually wandering around the vicinity of Adept Liu. Seeing the rea.s.suring expression he was about to give to him, he immediately understood what was going on.
A flash of light flashed across Elder Suo's eyes as he laughed, "Then, it's useless to say anything more. Now, I invite all of you fellows to take a step forward and begin your selection …" … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Right at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the great hall. A moment later, many outer court disciples followed.
"Wait, I can't accept this."
"That's right, I don't believe it either. Why are these countryside b.u.mpkins able to become the disciples of our Celestial Sect's teachers?"
"That's right. These people are clearly only at the Qi Condensation stage, and there are already some among us who have reached the Martial Disciples realm. Why did they have to come and acknowledge us as masters? As outer disciples, we can only look on with envy."
Duan Wu's eyes were as cold as knives as he shouted with a stern voice. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and shot a glance in the direction of Adept Liu.
Although this process only lasted for a split-second, Ye Feng was still able to capture it.
"So that's how it is. This is the person who incited the anger of so many disciples. I'm afraid it's this person."
Ye Wen stared at Duan Wu, and a divine light flashed across his eyes.
Since the Daoist Master of the Celestial Sect of Wonders wanted to start this show, he naturally needed to invite ordinary disciples to complete it. Among these, the Outer Sect Disciples were the best.
He only needed to give him a certain amount of benefits and promise a good future. Some of the outer sect disciples who were usually lacking in people's attention and helped the real people in their work were especially diligent.
At this moment, under the noise made by these outer sect disciples, the entire hall began to become chaotic.
"How dare you!" Old Suo glared at the outer sect disciples and coldly snorted, "Who allowed you to enter? Why aren't you quickly leaving? Where is the Discipline Hall's lord? Listen to my orders and throw them out as well."
"Yes, Elder Suo." The Discipline Hall Master's name was Yelu, and he was considered to be one of the people who could acknowledge a master this time. After receiving Elder Suo's order, his face instantly darkened.
When they heard Elder Suo's angry roar, some people's hearts turned cold and they immediately began to retreat in fear.
"Why did you send us out? What we want is only the most basic form of fair treatment." Duan Wu was still unwilling to forgive him.
However, there were some people who were more excited by what Duan Wu said than those who were willing to back down.
"That's right, we've been in the Celestial Sect of Wonders for more than a year now. What we want is a chance to acknowledge someone as our teacher. Isn't this request a bit too much?"
Since Dong Tianrui had made use of his family's influence and caused trouble, the higher ups of the Celestial Sect of Wonders would not dare to do anything to him.
Seeing him step out, even Yellowfang couldn't help but be startled for a moment.
Therefore, at this moment, he directly cursed out loud: "Today, since we came here, we are here to demand an explanation. Either we have to have the outer sect disciples acknowledge us as teachers successfully, or we can have the people from the outer city scram out of the Celestial Sect."
"That's right, that's right. Get out of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."
"Country b.u.mpkin, get out of the Celestial Sect of Wonders."
Old Suo's face alternated between shades of green and white. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Yulu! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase them out!"
"Yes, yes."
Actually, at this time, even if Yale really did drive these people out, the ceremony would be considered as having been ruined.
Elder Suo and Adept Liu looked at each other as if they had no idea what was going on. A trace of complacency appeared on their faces.
It seemed that the current situation was progressing far beyond his imagination.
However, at this moment, Ye Wen's calm voice began to ring out.
"TianRui, are you saying that you want me to scram out of the Celestial Sect of Wonders?" While he was smiling, he was playing with a Spirit Gathering Pearl in his hand with a carefree att.i.tude.
Originally, if the Celestial Sect of Wonders had made the ceremony a bit more peaceful, he would have turned a blind eye to it. After all, he didn't really want to become a disciple of any teacher and expand his horizons.
However, now that these people had so arrogantly rushed over his head, he had no choice but to blurt it out.
Dong Tianrui was startled when he heard those words. In that instant, it seemed as if all the blood in his body was about to freeze.
He slowly raised his head and looked ahead. His mouth gradually opened wide, as if he could swallow a fist.
"Brother Ye, Sister Bing Qian …" "Why are you guys here? Could it be …"
"That's right, we are the b.u.mpkins that you spoke of." Ye Wen replied indifferently.
In that instant, Dong Tianrui's body relaxed as he lost all his strength. Now he finally understood where the restlessness in his heart came from …
