The Grand Elder was on the verge of tears. He was just an elder; how could he possibly manage the sect leader's personal disciple?
If I were to foolishly run over and tell the sect leader, I might get killed by the enraged sect leader.
So the First Elder gave the Seventh Elder a look, hoping he would say a few words of persuasion.
Unexpectedly, the Seventh Elder said with a look of disdain, "Who said I was going to take you in? This isn't a place where just anyone can come and go as they please."
The Grand Elder nearly bit his tongue. "You'd be better off saying nothing at all. You look down on even the Sect Master's personal disciple. Are you trying to rebel?"
Yan Lin said without changing his expression, "If you don't want to, then forget it. Mian'er, come with me to the sect leader's place. The environment there is better."
Dongfang Mian nodded and said, "Okay."
"Oh my god! Father, Mother, if you have spirits in heaven, please take a good look! My only disciple, whom I just took in, was someone I was counting on to take care of me in my old age and see me off in my final days. I never expected that a mere brat would abandon her mentor like that!" The Seventh Elder cried out in despair.
The disciples below were all embarrassed for the Seventh Elder. It was a good thing that he didn't take on too many disciples, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble for making such a fool of himself.
"Enough! This is utter nonsense!"
As a deep and authoritative voice rang out, a flash of light appeared on the stage, and a figure materialized.
"Greetings, Sect Master"
The elders hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Sect Master"
Upon hearing that this was the sect leader, all the disciples hurriedly performed a grand salute to pay their respects.
"Alright, you all settle these new disciples in first. First Elder, Seventh Elder, and you two stay behind," the sect leader said, pointing to Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin.
Several elders hurriedly led their newly accepted disciples off the stage. Seeing that only a few people remained on the platform, the sect leader sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and with a flash of light, everyone was taken to the sect leader's residence.
"Tsk tsk, the sect leader certainly has an air about him. Even for such a short distance, he has to take a teleportation array," the Seventh Elder said.
The sect leader of the Divine Sect looked at him helplessly and said, "Third brother, do you really want to go against your eldest and second brothers?"
Seventh Elder: "I wouldn't dare. Second Brother, you are the Sect Master, and my eldest brother is the Grand Elder. How could I dare to go against you two?"
The sect leader shook his head helplessly, bowed deeply to Yan Lin and said, "There were too many people and too much chatter just now. I apologize for any disrespect shown to you, my lord."
"It's alright," Yan Lin replied casually, his attention now entirely focused on playing with a strand of Dongfang Mian's hair.
"Wait, can someone tell me what's going on?" Dongfang Mian felt her mind was a complete mess.
"This divine beast also needs a reasonable explanation," Aju said with a proud look, feeling very unhappy about being ignored by Yan Lin earlier.
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder whistled and looked at the ceiling, while the Sect Master looked worried. The task of explaining once again fell to the First Elder.
The elder couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, even though he was clearly the boss.
But at the moment, there seemed to be no other choice but him. After going through the options in his mind, the Grand Elder slowly spoke:
"First, let me introduce the three of us brothers. We all come from the Qi family in the Demon Realm. I am the eldest, and my name is Qi Xiu. The sect leader is the second eldest, and my name is Qi Yuan. The seventh elder is the third eldest, and my name is Qi Qing."
"The Divine Sect Holy Land was created by the three of us brothers. The purpose of the Divine Sect Holy Land is to resist foreign enemies and defend the human world when alien races invade, while also serving the Demon Lord at any time."
"For thousands of years, we have guarded the sacred land of the Divine Sect and developed it into the most powerful force in the ancient human realm."
