"Well... there are so many people here, let's not reminisce about the past for now. It would be weird for everyone to see us." Shen Qingmang gently pushed him away.
"I cast the Moon Covering Spell. They can't see or hear me." Gu Suihan leaned down and looked directly into her eyes. "Master, didn't you feel it?"
"Ah... As for me, I am now a low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and I do not feel that sharp." Shen Qingmang touched his nose.
After she was reborn into this world, she became the daughter of the Jiang family, a family of immortal cultivators. Her parents named her Jiang Yao, and she chose the courtesy name "Cen Yun" for herself.
This name was used to make it easier for the disciples to recognize her. After all, her appearance was very different from the original Qiongju. It was closer to her original appearance and was somewhat similar to the empress in the illusion. With this name, the disciples would probably be able to recognize her.
Unfortunately, she does not have as good talent as Gu Sui Han. Her cultivation level will not be able to improve quickly after rebirth. She is still at the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is still a certain distance away from the Foundation Establishment.
"I heard from them that you have become a True Lord. Congratulations. It turns out that possessing the Heart of Heaven and Earth will achieve twice the result with half the effort." Shen Qingmang looked at him with satisfaction.
Gu Suihan's face was devoid of a smile. "What price did you pay to reshape my Heart of Heaven and Earth?"
Shen Qingmang didn't want to talk about this and changed the subject, saying, "That's not important. Let's reminisce later. Even if others can't see what we're doing, it's not good to wait so long. Your intention of allowing everyone who passes the trial to become an inner disciple is good, but isn't it a bit too radical? Would the teachers be willing to accept so many more disciples at once?"
"I have divided the inner disciples into true disciples and ordinary inner disciples. The true disciples are taught individually by the master, while the other inner disciples are taught jointly by all the teachers in the sect, similar to your previous classes."
"This is a really good idea. How did you come up with it?" Shen Qingmang asked in surprise.
"Master, didn't you tell me about the school there? So I imitated it."
"How clever," Shen Qingmang praised generously. Glancing at the two bored teenagers standing nearby, he said, "Then it's time for you to accept a few true disciples. As the head of a sect, you can't possibly not have any apprentices, right?"
"It's enough for me to have a master." said Gu Suihan.
"I'm not Qiongju now... but I could be your apprentice to make up the numbers. I've just had a brief encounter with those two kids. They have good aptitude and good character. They're rough gems worth polishing. Why don't you take them both in? After all, you've taught thirty people before, haven't you?"
Gu Suihan nodded in agreement. "Okay."
"That's great." Shen Qingmang looked around, his brows relaxed. "Axin and Arong have calmed down a lot, too. I'll go say hello to them later."
"Master." Gu Suihan gripped her wrist tightly. "Do you want everyone in the Taichu sect to know you're back?"
"Ah... that's not necessary. It would cause a lot of trouble and it would be hard to explain. Besides, if I were to reappear as Qiongju, wouldn't your position as the head be awkward? I think you're more suitable to be the head than I am."
"Then Master, please don't go and meet your junior brothers and sisters at this time." Gu Suihan said softly, "You think they have calmed down a lot, but in my opinion, they are still children at heart. If you reveal your identity in public, they won't be able to remain calm like I did, and it will be easy for them to discover the clues."
"You talk as if you are calm now." Shen Qingmang glanced at him with a smile.
"Disciple will remove the Moon-Covering Technique now and let Master see if I can remain calm." As soon as Gu Suihan raised his hand, Shen Qingmang immediately lowered his head, pretending to be obedient as if listening to the teachings of his elders.
"Master, just now..." A tall, thin young man in red came up to Gu Suihan. "But what's wrong with this guy?"
Shen Qingmang looked up. Oh, isn't that Huaining? He's now an elder of the Daodao Peak? The leadership of the Taichu Sect is changing rapidly.
"Nothing." Gu Suihan cherishes words like gold.
"Great...great-grandfather." Jian Qiuguang called out in a low voice.
Shen Qingmang quickly suppressed his laughter.
It turned out that Master Changle was Huaining. She almost forgot his last name was Jian.
"You are..." Huaining was attracted by him.
"I am the 23rd generation descendant of the Jian family, Jian Qiuguang, and I'd like to meet the great...Master Changle." Jian Qiuguang originally wanted to call him "great-grandfather" again, but found that the other party looked unhappy, so he quickly changed his words.
"It's already the 23rd generation..." Huaining murmured.
"Hahaha, you see, I told you that you are an old man, but you still didn't believe it." Hao Xin ran over at some point.
"Ling... Master Lingyun!" Haoze saw him and said excitedly, "I am Haoze, and I am also your junior! I... I have admired you for a long time!"
Huaining beamed and nudged Haoxin's shoulder. "Hey, if I'm old, you're not young either. I see you, this junior, are even older than me. And while they claim to admire you, they've actually chosen the headmaster as their master. Tsk, tsk, tsk, your title of number one isn't very appealing."
"It's better than someone getting nothing." Hao Xin sneered.
"I was just imitating the Taoist priest Yiqing. What? Do you think the Taoist priest's actions were wrong? Then I'll ask Ah Rong to come over and let her judge the matter."
"Shut up, you were the one who called me A Rong?"
Shen Qingmang looked at the two elementary school kids arguing in front of him and raised his hands to cover his face.
Sui Han was right. Asin's personality hadn't changed much over the years. If he were recognized on the spot, he would definitely not be able to hide his reaction.
Let’s wait until the disciple recruitment conference is over.
Gu Suihan quickly pulled the two little brats apart. When he put on a serious face, they both became obedient. Huaining said politely, "It's good that nothing's happening here. I'll go patrol somewhere else."
Hao Xin was afraid that he would not run fast enough and be punished by his senior brother, so he said, "I'm going to see those new disciples" and slipped away.
As Shen Qingmang wished, Gu Sui Han accepted the three of them as his disciples. Shen Qingmang and the two young men stood side by side in front of him, waiting for him to give them a gift.
He bestowed two jade pendants on Jian Qiuguang and Haoze, saying, "A gentleman's virtue is like jade."
The two men carefully put the jade pendants on their waists, and Gu Sui Han walked in front of Shen Qingmang again.
Shen Qingmang looked at him with a smile, thinking that she was too short and had to look up with great effort every time to look at her eldest disciple.
The other person seemed to be able to hear her thoughts. He quickly bent down and hung a bead necklace around her neck.
Shen Qingmang lowered his head and looked at the pendant in the center of the necklace. "Is this... petrified wood?"
"This is a twining branch." Gu Suihan whispered softly in her ear: "Master, please preserve it well this time and don't let it disappear again."
