The immortal master and his party, who were originally going to leave immediately, stayed for half a day just for Wu Xinzhi. This was simply a supreme honor. Wu Xinzhi was so excited that his face turned red, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
The immortal master found it funny and said to the boy who was standing there in a daze, "Why don't you go home quickly, pack your luggage, and say goodbye to the people you need to say goodbye to."
Wu Xinzhi came back to his senses, bowed to the immortal master, and left, then turned and ran. He did not go home immediately, but ran to Chen's house.
Ershun also got the news and was hastily preparing a package. When his aunt called out from outside, Ershun hurried out with the package.
"Ershun! I was selected and can go again!" Wu Xinzhi ran so hard that his forehead and nose were covered with sweat, and he said while panting.
Ershun couldn't help but said happily: "Brother Xinzhi, with the blessing of the magic, I knew you would be chosen."
Wu Xinzhi nodded. He also felt that the red rope played a significant role. At least it was a very effective amulet.
Ershun stuffed the package into Wu Xinzhi's hand: "Brother Xinzhi, these are the wrist guards and leggings I prepared for you. It's tiring to travel, you will definitely need them. The journey to Chongxuan Sect is long and we won't be able to hear from you, so you must take care of yourself. ... I hope that one day, brother Xinzhi will achieve his ambitions, but please don't forget that I'm still waiting for you to come back in Fan Village." This shy and quiet girl, facing her lover who was about to leave, could no longer help but remind Wu Xinzhi.
Wu Xinzhi recovered from the excitement of being selected, and the sadness and reluctance of parting with his fiancée surged in his heart. He nodded heavily, reached out and hugged Ershun, and said with emotion: "Ershun, don't worry, I will never forget you, and I will always keep you in my heart."
Ershun leaned on Wu Xinzhi's shoulder with her face tilted up, tears streaming down her cheeks, feeling mixed emotions. She was happy for the other person, but also worried about her own future. She only wished, only wished that her brother from the Wu family would come back to marry her as agreed.
The young couple embraced each other affectionately in the courtyard of Chen's house. This was a bit too reckless, but the aunt did not step forward to stop it. Instead, she grabbed the corner of her apron and watched with tears in her eyes.
The two of them hugged quietly for a while before another person came running in from outside the Chen family. The person shouted directly at Wu Xinzhi: "Xinzhi, hurry home! Everything is ready for you, don't waste time here. Your parents are waiting to see you off!"
Wu Xinzhi let go of Ershun, looked at her apologetically and said, "I have to go."
Ershun nodded in understanding and obediently: "Okay, go ahead. I won't see you off, Brother Xinzhi, I wish you a safe journey."
Wu Xinzhi held the small package Ershun gave him and turned to leave the Chen family's yard. Ershun couldn't hold back any longer and choked with sobs. Chen Xiao sighed, stepped forward and patted her shoulder, whispering, "Don't be sad, as long as he keeps the red string on his wrist, nothing serious will happen."
The former Feng Shui master still had this confidence. Although the Feng Shui layout he arranged could not make Wu Xinzhi so successful, at least he would not suffer any major disasters and his life would not be in danger.
Wu Xinzhi followed his brother who called him back home. There were already several luggage packages piled on the eight-immortal table in the living room. Wu's mother insisted on packing the luggage herself despite her illness, fearing that her son would suffer grievances outside.
"Put these dry food in a separate bag, and take these snacks with you, so you can eat when you're hungry on the road." Mother Wu ordered her two daughters-in-law around, "Put these thick clothes and this cloak in there, too. In case there's a cold snap on the road, my son won't freeze..."
Seeing Wu Xinzhi, Wu's mother went over and took his hand, saying with relief: "I knew my son would be chosen! The headmaster was obstructing us, and the immortal master's eyes were not blind. He performed so well that day, and it is obvious that the immortal masters also remembered my son. Xinzhi, when you go to that Chongxuan Sect, remember to build a good relationship with the immortal master. We have suffered this kind of loss once, and we must not let anyone squeeze us again!"
Wu Xinzhi was proud and arrogant, and he looked down on such despicable means, and frowned unhappily. Seeing that he didn't listen, Wu's mother said anxiously: "I know you can't stand it. But if you don't humble yourself, you will suffer a great loss if others take advantage of you. This time is a living example."
Wu Xinzhi said in disbelief, "That's the Immortal Sect. The people who come and go are all Immortal Masters of noble character. They would never condone such mean behavior. Mother, you must not say such things again. If the Immortal Masters hear it, they will be unhappy, and it will be really bad for me."
Mother Wu immediately covered her mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Then she remembered something and said, "When you get to the Immortal Gate, see if there are any suitable girls and find a more equal marriage. You don't have to worry about your family. Sooner or later, I will find a way to get your engagement letter back from the Chen family."
Wu Xinzhi frowned and said seriously, "We can't do this kind of thing! I don't want to be laughed at by the whole village and regarded as a heartless villain who is fickle."
Mother Wu showed an indifferent expression. In her opinion, her son would become a master of immortality in the future. Even if he was an outer disciple of the immortal sect, he would be more noble than any rich man in the whole county. What about the Chen family? The father was a farmhand and the mother was a servant. Of course, the daughter born was not worthy of her son.
Seeing that his mother refused to change her mind, Wu Xinzhi immediately became anxious: "Mom, you must not regret this marriage! Not to mention what others think, if the people in the immortal sect know about it, they will also say that I have a bad character!" He took a deep breath, and seeing that his mother listened, he continued: "Besides, Miss Chen and I are in tune with each other, and she is virtuous and capable. In the future, she will be at home to take care of my parents on my behalf, so that I can practice outside with peace of mind. Ershun is a person who thinks ahead of everything and can make decisions. Look, this red rope is the immortal magic amulet she asked for me. If it weren't for this, I really might not be able to make the immortal master change his mind this time!"
He brought up this matter at this time, just to make his mother like Ershun better, and stop targeting and looking down on the Chen family girl. Sure enough, when Wu's mother heard about this, she never asked Wu Xinzhi to find another good match. As for whether to temporarily or permanently dispel Wu's mother's idea, Wu Xinzhi didn't care. As long as he was determined, he could convince his mother to listen to him.
With poor transportation and lack of information, people tend to be ignorant. Coupled with the respect for the immortal masters, they have a blind faith in things related to immortality. This is the case with Wu Xinzhi, Wu's mother, and other members of the Wu family. When people from another perspective hear this, their thoughts are not so good, and they directly imagine it in an evil direction.
The Wu family was so lively, and neighbors and friends also gathered to share the joy. So many people started to spread the news that Wu Xinzhi was blessed by a red rope amulet and was chosen by the immortal master to join the immortal sect. As a result, the news became more and more bizarre, and the function of the red rope became more and more exaggerated. It turned out that Wu Xinzhi used the red rope to control the immortal master to change his mind and let him go to the Chongxuan Sect.
Three people make a tiger, and a lot of gossip can melt gold. People who originally did not believe it had to believe it after seeing that it was so convincing. Especially the person who needed a handle to get Wu Xinzhi off the list, believed it without a doubt. This person was the young master of the Fan family who was eliminated, Fan Shiming.
The Immortal Master asked on the spot why the boy who had carried the most on his back that day was not there, and the head of the group was immediately frightened. He thought that the Immortal Master valued Wu Xinzhi, and even if he could not be selected as an inner disciple, he would take him back to be an outer disciple. He made a big mistake by deciding to reject Wu Xinzhi.
The head immediately admitted his fault and admitted that he had done a poor job. He called Wu Xinzhi over and asked Fan Shiming to go back. The immortal master saw it and immediately understood what was going on. However, he was too lazy to argue with the head, so he didn't say much.
Fan Shiming had already stepped half a foot into the Chongxuan Sect, but was driven back. Wu Xinzhi was unwilling to accept being eliminated, so he could not accept it even more!
Immediately, someone from the Fan family went to find the person in charge. There were five people on the list, and Wu Xinzhi couldn't come down, but there were still four others. Even if the two who entered the last round didn't move, the other three in the second round were eliminated only according to the order of standing, and the ranking was not clearly stated, so they could always find a way to squeeze Fan Shiming in.
Unexpectedly, the head was frightened by the Immortal Master's previous question. He dared not take down a person in front of the Immortal Master and exchange Fan Shiming. Not only did he refuse to help, but he also said something that made the Fan family feel unlucky. Who made their young master stand at the back? This immediately made the Fan family angry.
If the headmaster doesn't help, the Fan family can only find another way. When he heard this rumor, his eyes immediately lit up. Fan Shiming ran back to the ancestral hall. When the master tried to stop him, he just opened his voice and yelled. He said that the Wu family had found an evil cultivator to use evil magic to interfere with the selection of disciples by the immortal master of the Chongxuan Sect!
These young people in the school only heard what the teachers taught them. Most of these teachers were not very advanced and had no future, and what they told were just hearsay. Therefore, they did not understand the concept of evil cultivation and evil methods.
The world is divided into two sides, yin and yang. Where there is light, there is darkness. Where there is the right path, there is also the evil path. For various reasons, the famous and upright sects and the evil sects and evil cultivators do not get along well. Not to mention that they fight to the death after meeting, they also do not interact with each other. They often cannot stand each other's actions and fight without saying a word.
Fan Shiming shouted sensationally that an evil cultivator was using evil methods to interfere with the selection of disciples for the Chongxuan Sect. How could that be possible?! He was the one who presided over the test in Fan Village, and he would be responsible if something went wrong! Don't let this time you come out without any merit and get a serious punishment.
The immortal master immediately stood up, raised his hand, and pulled Fan Shiming over from the other side. He grabbed the man's collar and asked sternly: "Is what you said true? You dare to spread rumors and cause trouble. I will let you know how powerful I am!"
Seeing the immortal master's big reaction, Fan Shiming was frightened but also a little excited. This is a great reaction. The kid from the Wu family will definitely be severely punished.
