Chapter 120: Coercion and Inducement
The third elder looked at him and sat directly on the main seat. The Ling family members paused, but did not say much. The fourth elder sat below him, and the disciples of Tianshu Sect stood behind her. Seeing this, Ling Yanli could only sit next to him.
Ling Changge frowned slightly, looking at the two of them with a bit of impatience.
"Are you Ling Changge?" The third elder's tone was a little defiant.
Ling Changge sat across from him, leaning lazily against the back of his chair, his expression indifferent: "Doesn't this elder know me? Why are you asking such a stupid question?"
When the people from Tianshu Sect heard this, they couldn't help but look stern. They never expected that Ling Changge would be so arrogant and have such a disrespectful attitude towards the people from Tianshu Sect.
You know, it is easy for them, the Tianshu Sect, to destroy a family.
The third elder's expression was even more ugly.
He had been sitting on the elder's seat for many years and had never seen such a junior.
Seeing that Ling Changge was so disrespectful to the elders of Tianshu Sect, the Ling family couldn't help but break out in cold sweats, fearing that she would really anger Tianshu Sect, and then their Ling family would have no good days. However, the attitude of the people in Tianshu Sect was really unpleasant, so they felt worried and relieved about Ling Changge's attitude.
"No wonder everyone in Jinling City says that Miss Ling is arrogant. Now that I've seen her, I know the rumors are true."
"So, the elder came to our Ling family in person to verify these rumors?"
"you!"
Seeing this, the Fourth Elder smiled and said, "Of course not." He looked at Ling Changge and said, "We came here today mainly to ask Miss Ling to join our Tianshu Sect."
It’s true!
Upon hearing this, the Ling family's eyes lit up.
"Tianshu Sect is the leader among the four great academies. Miss Ling is incredibly talented. Only by joining Tianshu Sect can you unleash all your talents." The Fourth Elder said with a smile, "If you are willing to join Tianshu Sect, I am willing to accept you as my last disciple and teach you personally."
Being able to be personally taught by the elders of Tianshu Sect is a blessing that many people cannot achieve!
The disciples of Tianshu Sect looked at Ling Changge with envy in their eyes.
There was a resentful gaze among them, and the eyes of all the disciples fell on her.
Liu Lin secretly clenched his fists.
He was the disciple of the Fourth Elder, but not his closed disciple.
In Tianshu Sect, each elder can only accept one closed disciple. The reason why he was so wary of Lin Jue was that he didn't want his master to accept him as a closed disciple.
Now, his master actually promised in front of so many people to accept her as his last disciple, which meant that as long as she nodded, this last disciple would definitely be her, Ling Changge.
Having followed his master for many years, how could he be willing to give up the last disciple he had been looking forward to for so long?
But now, even if she was unwilling, it was useless. She could only hope that Ling Changge would refuse.
However, such a good thing is something that others would beg for, so what fool would refuse it?
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder. However, I'm afraid I can't go to Tianshumen."
Ling Changge's words stunned everyone present for a moment.
Rejected?
Liu Lin's heart moved.
The Fourth Elder, who originally thought he had already secured victory, never expected that he would be rejected by Ling Changge.
His expression changed, and he immediately said, "Miss Ling, do you not want to become my disciple?"
"Not really." Qin Ran smiled. "I think the elders should know that I already have a master, so naturally I can't find another one."
"If it's because of this, you don't have to worry." The fourth elder said softly: "Entering Tianshu Sect only means joining the academy. We are not forcing you to become a disciple."
"Junior hasn't finished speaking yet." Ling Changge fixed his gaze on Liu Lin. "Junior has some issues with the disciples of Tianshu Sect, so we probably can't train in the same academy."
The fourth elder tilted his head slightly and said, "Lin Jue is not here today."
"It's not just Young Master Lin." Ling Changge stood up and said with a bow, "Elder, I will not join the Tianshu Sect. If you came here for this matter, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"Hmph!" The third elder sitting in the main seat snorted coldly: "Master Ling, what do you say?" His tone was filled with a hint of coercion: "Everyone here knows how powerful our Tianshu Sect is. If you provoke us, we will not take the Ling family seriously."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yanli frowned, his face stern, and he whispered, "What do you mean, Elder?"
"Literally."
Ling Changge's lips curled slightly: "Elder, are you threatening us?"
"Ling Changge, don't think you're the only genius on this continent. You've reached the spiritual realm by chance and contracted a sacred beast. Do you think you're so great? You must know that there are always people better than you."
"The elder doesn't need to explain this to me; even a three-year-old child would understand." Ling Changge said with a smile, "Looking at the disciples behind the elder, they should all be from Tianshu Sect. I see that the strongest one is only at the peak of spiritual master. I guess it's not their first day in Tianshu Sect, and they haven't made much progress. In this case, it's better for me to practice better on my own."
"you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in Tianshumen looked grim.
"I don't know what's good for me!"
"Elder, what you said is really unreasonable. If I don't join Tianshu Sect, I will be ungrateful. There are too many ungrateful people in this world." Ling Changge sneered: "I see that the Third Elder's spiritual power is only slightly higher than mine. I am afraid that I will not learn anything from you."
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder suddenly stood up and glared at Ling Changge fiercely, with the spiritual energy around him surging.
Ling Yanli protected Ling Changge behind him and whispered, "Third Elder, my granddaughter simply doesn't want to join the Tianshu Sect. You're using force to coerce her. If you spread the news, I'm afraid it would be beneath your dignity!"
The fourth elder looked at the third elder and slowly shook his head.
Ling Changge's master has a mysterious identity, and they have been searching for several days but have not been able to find out his true identity.
But he could turn a powerful Spirit King into ashes with a wave of his hand. With such strength, he might have reached the peak of Spirit Profound or Spirit Emperor level, and was on par with the leader of their Tianshu Sect.
They really don't want to offend such a super strong person at the moment.
Therefore, the Ling family cannot be moved now.
Although the Fourth Elder disliked Ling Changge, he was not as hysterical as the Third Elder.
"Since you don't want to come to our Tianshu Sect, we won't force you, but what about the other disciples of the Ling family? Don't they want to come either?" The words of the fourth elder made the elders of the Ling family frown.
"If you are willing to join our Tianshu Sect, we are willing to accept you as a disciple of the Ling family. Even if your spiritual power is slightly weaker, you can still enter our Tianshu Sect to practice."
