Dongfang Mian never expected that after arriving at the Divine Sect Holy Land, she would suddenly become a love mentor. Faced with Shu Yao's various questions, Dongfang Mian was simply powerless to resist.

In the end, Ah Ju had no choice but to pretend to be in pain and run away under the pretext of taking care of the animal trainer.

The next day, someone came early to inform them to attend the first formal disciples' assembly. It was said that after the assembly, elite disciples could directly choose their favorite elder to become their disciple and be personally taught by the elder.

The three of them went out full of anticipation, but the difference was that Dongfang Mian was looking forward to seeing Yan Lin at this conference.

The initiation ceremony for disciples of the Divine Sect Holy Land was as dull and uninteresting as any academy ceremony that Dongfang Mian had attended before, consisting almost entirely of introducing the glorious history of the Divine Sect Holy Land.

Although the three major sects of the Ancient Domain—the Divine Sect Holy Land, the Jade Pool Ancient Land, and the Peerless Buddhist Temple—are roughly equal in strength, the people of the Divine Sect Holy Land firmly believe that their sect is the strongest in the Ancient Domain.

Dongfang Mian only perked up when the elder introduced her, because she heard a familiar voice.

"I am Qing Xuanzi, the seventh elder of the Divine Sect Holy Land. I have no disciples and have no intention of taking any. I am here purely to give face to the Grand Elder, so you don't need to consider me."

Dongfang Mian looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with a stubble beard, looking unkempt, with a red, bulbous nose, muttering to himself.

On the stage, the Grand Elder felt he had completely lost face and interrupted him impatiently, then announced that everyone could choose an elder to become their disciple.

The selection criteria for elite disciples are very strict, so there are only about twenty people. Excluding the Seventh Elder who does not plan to take on disciples, each of the other elders can only get three or four disciples.

Shu Yao and Liu Ruyan fell into deep thought, wondering which elder's tutelage would be best for their future development.

Dongfang Mian walked towards the Seventh Elder, Qing Xuanzi, who was sitting alone to the side and seemed to be about to fall asleep, without hesitation.

"Dongfang Mian, have you forgotten that the Seventh Elder said he wouldn't accept disciples?" Shu Yao hurriedly whispered, afraid that Dongfang Mian's actions would cause dissatisfaction among the other elders.

Dongfang Mian walked straight up to the Seventh Elder. He glanced at her and said, "I have said that I do not accept disciples. Please do as you wish."

Dongfang Mian chuckled and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Back on the Vermilion Bird Continent, someone said that if I had a chance to survive, I should come to the Divine Sect Holy Land to find him."

As Dongfang Mian spoke, the Seventh Elder Qing Xuanzi's eyes widened, and finally he simply stood up, pulled Dongfang Mian to the First Elder's side and said, "First Elder, this is my newly accepted disciple, please register him quickly."

The elder said irritably, "You're an elder, don't you even know how to write the word 'queue'?"

The Seventh Elder said with a wounded expression, "Brother, we are brothers. After hundreds of years, I, your younger brother, have finally chosen a disciple to take as my personal disciple. I never expected that the first person to stop me would be my own brother. Father, Mother, if you are watching from heaven, please take a look..."

The elder was so angry from his outburst that his veins bulged. Just as he was about to say something, several other elders quickly advised, "Get it done for him first, we're not in a hurry."

He also curiously observed Dongfang Mian, wondering what kind of disciple could catch this person's eye.

The Grand Elder couldn't help but check Dongfang Mian's information and gasped in shock: a Saint King-level prodigy with three King-level professional badges and a contracted divine beast, the Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger.
