[Chapter 231] Arrival at Xuanji Sect
[Chapter 231] Arrival at Xuanji Sect
The Ninth Elder secretly broke into a cold sweat for Nangong Chenyu, fearing that the ancestor of the Gong family would be angry.
Although fighting is not allowed in Zhongtian City, if the Gong family ancestor uses his power to pressure Nangong Chenyu, he will not be able to stop him with his strength.
While drinking tea, he secretly glanced at the ancestor of the Gong family out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the other person looked normal and didn't look angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The Gong family's ancestor's mind was entirely focused on Nangong Chenyu's purple aura, and he didn't care about Nangong Chenyu's attitude at all.
He said to them kindly, "What are your names, my two friends?"
"Junior Nangong Chenyu."
"Junior Ye Yisheng."
The ancestor of the Gong family didn't know that the "Chen" in Nangong Chenyu's name was the "Chen" of dust, and thought it was the "Chen" of stars, so he praised him: "The moon shines on the starry sky and enters the sea of stars. The shining light breaks through the fog."
It is much simpler to praise Ye Yisheng, and one idiom can summarize it: "sparkling and radiant."
“They’re all good names.”
Ye Yisheng smiled politely and said nothing.
Nangong Chenyu corrected him: "The word Chen in my name means dust."
The ancestor of the Gong family did not feel embarrassed at all, and said: "The heart is originally dust-free, and the dust is the heart. There is no dust in the heart, but there is a heart in the dust. There is no Bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing originally, so where can dust gather?"
"The word 'Chen' is also very good."
His words made Gong Xianjing and Gong Xianya both look at Nangong Chenyu. Ye Yishen saw the satisfaction in their eyes clearly.
Ye Yishen lowered his eyes, the emotions in his eyes were well concealed.
The Ninth Elder looked at the ancestor of the Gong family with a strange look. He felt that the ancestor of the Gong family was a little too enthusiastic towards Nangong Chenyu.
The people in the living room had different thoughts.
"Senior is indeed a great master in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Your unique understanding makes me admire you."
The Gong family's ancestor didn't hear Nangong Chenyu's ironic words at all. He thought Nangong Chenyu really admired him, and he looked at Nangong Chenyu with a kinder gaze.
"Young friend Nangong has reached the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age. I guess your family has put a lot of effort into training you."
These words were obviously meant to inquire about Nangong Chenyu's family background.
Nangong Chenyu guessed what the Gong family ancestor was going to say next, and said in a straightforward manner: "Senior, you don't know that I don't have any family behind me. I became a live-in son-in-law at the age of sixteen."
As soon as these words came out, the air was silent for a moment.
There was surprise in everyone else's eyes, only Ye Yisheng's mouth corners were slightly raised, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
The ancestor of the Gong family originally wanted to learn about Nangong Chenyu's family background first, and then introduce Gong Xianjing and Gong Xianya to Nangong Chenyu, and let Nangong Chenyu choose one of the two sisters as his Taoist partner, or Nangong Chenyu could accept both sisters.
Then he could use the two sisters as a medium to absorb the luck from Nangong Chenyu.
Unexpectedly, his plan would fail in the womb before it was implemented.
It seems we need to take a long-term view.
Gong Xianya and Gong Xianjing looked at Nangong Chenyu with a bit of contempt and unwillingness in their eyes.
The contempt was naturally for Nangong Chenyu's identity as a son-in-law, and the resentment was that they could not complete the tasks assigned by the ancestor.
The two sisters did not know the real purpose of the Gong family's ancestor asking them to get married. They only knew that if they did what the ancestor asked them to do, they would get a generous reward.
"I wonder what kind of outstanding person can make Nangong a son-in-law?"
The ancestor of the Gong family is already considering getting rid of Nangong Chenyu’s Taoist partner. Given the strong purple aura on Nangong Chenyu's body, it is naturally impossible for him to give up.
Without waiting for Nangong Chenyu to answer, Ye Yisheng said, "Ayu is my Taoist partner."
The ninth elder thought: The ancestor of the Gong family should give up now!
The ancestor of the Gong family really didn't expect that Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng would actually be a Taoist couple. It was only at this time that he began to look at Ye Yisheng seriously.
After taking a closer look, he found that he could not see the luck on Ye Yisheng. Before, because of the presence of Nangong Chenyu, a man with purple aura, he subconsciously ignored Ye Yishen.
It seems that Ye Yisheng has a treasure that can conceal his luck. Judging from Ye Yisheng's cultivation level, Ye Yisheng's luck must be pretty good too.
I just wonder how Ye Yishen’s luck compares to Nangong Chenyu?
When the Ninth Elder saw that the Gong Family Patriarch was either looking at Nangong Chenyu or Ye Yishen, his impression of the Gong Family Patriarch continued to decline, and he decided to stay away from the Gong Family Patriarch in the future.
In front of several people, Nangong Chenyu took Ye Yisheng's hand and said to the Ninth Elder: "Ninth Elder, if there is nothing else, we will go back to the backyard first."
At this moment, there was an aura between the two of them that no one else could interfere with.
The Ninth Elder said before the Gong Family Patriarch could speak: "Go down."
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng bowed to the Ninth Elder and the ancestor of the Gong family before leaving the reception room.
The ancestor of the Gong family was thinking about how to get the luck of the two people, so he did not stop them from leaving. There is still a long time to go, so he will wait until he comes up with a foolproof plan before taking action against the two men.
"Senior Gong, is there anything else?"
The Ninth Elder's words were obviously meant to send the guest off.
The ancestor of the Gong family was no longer in the mood to chat with the Ninth Elder, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Seeing the three people from the Gong family leave, the Ninth Elder breathed a sigh of relief.
His cultivation is not as good as others, and he doesn't speak with confidence.
However, the visit of the Gong family's ancestor gave the Ninth Elder a wake-up call. In order to prevent any complications, the Ninth Elder spoke to the resident manager, and immediately took Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen on the teleportation array and left Zhongtian City.
Xuanji Sect is located at the top of Cangyun Mountains, and the magnificent sect buildings are located on the towering peaks. The sect has a rigorous internal layout, with vast training grounds, practice rooms, and library.
Like most sects, Xuan Ji Sect is also divided into outer sect and inner sect.
The outer sect is the sect's peripheral organization, which includes a large number of menial disciples and outer sect disciples. Although the status of menial disciples and outer disciples is not as high as that of inner disciples, they are also important parts of the sect and are responsible for the sect's daily affairs and basic work.
The inner gate is the core of the sect, and those who can enter the inner gate are disciples with good qualifications. Inner disciples are usually the ones who are given key training, have a higher status, and enjoy more resources and privileges.
As one of the three major sects in Zhongxuan Continent, Xuanji Sect has more than ten thousand outer disciples alone.
All cities under the jurisdiction of Xuan Ji Sect have teleportation arrays leading to Xuan Ji Sect, and conversely, Xuan Ji Sect also has teleportation arrays leading to these cities.
In order to facilitate disciples to go out to perform tasks, a teleportation array was set up at the junction of the outer gate and the inner gate. There are eight in total, in two houses of 500 square meters.
A white light suddenly flashed in one of the teleportation arrays, and three figures appeared out of thin air.
The disciple guarding the teleportation array saw the three people and saluted the oldest one among them and said, "Ninth Elder."
The three people were the Ninth Elder, Ye Yishen and Nangong Chenyu who had left Zhongtian City.
The Ninth Elder nodded to the disciple who greeted him, and walked out with Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng.
As soon as they walked out, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen found that they were at the top of a mountain. Looking around, you can see continuous mountains, lush green, and floating clouds, just like a fairyland.
When the disciples coming and going saw the Ninth Elder, they all stopped and greeted him respectfully.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen, who were following the Ninth Elder, were unfamiliar faces as they were not wearing the Xuan Ji Sect's sect robes. When they saw the two of them, they couldn't help but take a second look at them out of curiosity.
The Ninth Elder is an Outer Sect elder, and his residence is on a mountain with the most dense Outer Sect influence.
Soon, the Ninth Elder brought the two of them to stop in front of a cave.
"This is my cave in Xuanji Sect. You can stay here for one night. I will take you to the inner gate tomorrow morning."
Nangong Chenyu didn't understand and asked, "Why do you have to wait until tomorrow morning to take us to the inner gate?"
"The elders who process new disciples' admission are only here in the morning." The ninth elder gave the reason he had thought of long ago.
The real reason is that the elders, deputy sect masters and sect masters who have the power to speak in the sect are all elite disciples. Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen were accepted as elite disciples by the sect as an exception, and the sect must train them well.
However, the sect is worried about training two ungrateful people, so out of caution, the sect will send out an ancestor in the Tribulation Crossing stage to investigate the past of the two to see if they are worth training.
Investigation takes time, so we don't have to wait until tomorrow.
If the incident with the ancestor of the Gong family had not happened, the Ninth Elder would have brought the two back to the sect tomorrow.
Ye Yisheng, who didn't understand the twists and turns, nodded in understanding, but Nangong Chenyu seemed to be thinking about something.
In this way, the two of them temporarily lived in the cave of the Ninth Elder.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, after receiving the notice, the Ninth Elder woke up Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen who were still practicing, and took them to the inner gate office.
The three of them stopped in front of a nine-story pavilion.
"Follow me." The Ninth Elder called out to the two of them and walked straight inside.
The two of them hurriedly followed him into the nine-story pavilion.
Seeing the deputy sect leader waiting here, the Ninth Elder was very shocked. He didn't expect that the sect valued Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen so much. At the same time, he was glad that he brought the two back to the sect early yesterday.
"Deputy Sect Leader, they are Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng who are in the top 50 of the Tianjiao Ranking."
The Ninth Elder introduced Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng: "This is the deputy sect leader."
The deputy leader of Xuan Ji Sect is named Lin Chengwang. He is in the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation. He wears a blue robe and looks to be in his fifties. His actual age is unknown.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen bowed to him respectfully.
"Meet the deputy master."
As soon as Lin Chengwang raised his hand, a gentle force lifted the two of them up.
"Ninth Elder, please go down first!"
"yes."
"I already know the basic situation of both of you. Before you officially become disciples of Xuan Ji Sect, you need to pass the test of refining your heart."
Lin Chengwang looked at the two and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The two knew that the so-called heart-refining test was to test whether they were the devil's spies, so they naturally had no objection.
"Where is the test?"
Lin Chengwang led the two to a door and said, "The test will begin once you enter this room. If you can come out within one stick of incense, you will have passed the test."
The two walked into the room one after the other.
