As the last person to be tested stepped down from the platform, the sect leader and all the elders appeared on the platform in a flash.
All the disciples turned their gazes to the sect leader, eager to see him announce the final list.
The sect leader glanced in Xiao Feng's direction and noticed that he had an indifferent expression, making him an excellent prospect.
The ability to keep one's emotions hidden is practically one of the essential qualities of a strong person.
The sect leader could no longer contain himself and pointed in Xiao Feng's direction: "Pack your things and move into my courtyard as soon as possible."
The elders beside him widened their eyes when they heard the sect leader want Xiao Feng to move to the sect leader's courtyard now, feeling that the matter was a bit hasty.
They had just finished talking about accepting apprentices, and the next thing they knew, they were going to have the people move into the courtyard to live.
Seeing the elders' surprised expressions, the sect leader burst into laughter: "Not only will I have him live in my courtyard, but I will also hold a disciple-acceptance ceremony for him."
Upon hearing that Xiao Feng was receiving such treatment, Feng Luo's face darkened to the point of being sullen.
Fortunately, the lackey didn't say anything, otherwise Feng Luo might have vented all his anger on his lackey.
Suddenly, a disciple in the crowd raised his hand: "There is a condition for becoming a closed-door disciple. I think he must meet that condition to become a closed-door disciple."
The disciple beside him quickly spoke up: "That's right, all closed-door disciples need to cross the Clear Spring River and obtain the Mountain and River Sword inside to prove that they have such qualifications."
As soon as the two finished speaking, the sect leader's gaze fell on them.
Instantly, the two lowered their heads, fearing that the sect leader would cause them trouble.
Regardless, both of them are disciples of the Azure Sect and are still subject to the jurisdiction of the Azure Sect Master.
Almost everyone could tell that these two were deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Feng, preventing him from becoming the last disciple of the Qing Sect.
Senior Brother Feng Luo, hearing his lackey come up with such a plan, had a cold glint in his eyes: "Let's see what he does this time."
In Feng Luo's mind, Xiao Feng's strength was fake from the start.
With their own strength, there was no way they could cross the Clear Spring River smoothly, let alone retrieve the Mountain and River Sword from inside.
Seeing that Feng Luo's expression softened slightly, the lackey finally smiled and said, "Senior Brother, we'll make him slip up."
Feng Luo nodded: "As long as you can stop that kid, I've seen everything you've done."
As the senior disciple, he had some privileges to some extent.
And if these disciples can please their senior brother, they will also be able to use his privileges.
On the high platform, many elders looked at the sect leader beside them: "I think this statement is correct. Only by obtaining the Mountain and River Sword can one become our closed-door disciple."
The other elders nodded in agreement: "That's right, the sect's rules cannot be broken, otherwise others will also have the right to break them."
Although the sect leader can decide on all matters, big and small, within the sect, he also has a great deal of trouble with the rules.
At this moment, Xiao Feng glanced around and asked, "What is the origin of the Clear Spring River? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Those around him stared at Xiao Feng with shock in their eyes: "You don't even know what the Clear Spring River is? I'm starting to doubt whether you're really a disciple of the Green Sect."
Now, Xiao Feng is no longer the same Xiao Feng he once was. He has almost no understanding of the internal situation of the Qing Sect, so naturally he doesn't know the reasons behind it.
Xiao Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "I've been so focused on cultivation that I've forgotten about some affairs within the sect."
Just then, Xu Qing'er's voice came from the other side: "Qingquan River is the only way to become a closed-door disciple. If you want to become a closed-door disciple, you must take this road."
When Xiao Feng heard Xu Qing'er say this, he took a deep breath: "Is it dangerous inside?"
There are probably very few people in the sect who receive such treatment, and very few people know the specifics of it.
However, Xu Qing'er always followed behind the powerful disciples in the sect.
While others might genuinely be unaware of the situation, Xu Qing'er had some knowledge of the Qingquan River.
She recalled for a moment: "I remember someone telling me that if Qingquanhe touches your body, you will experience excruciating pain and lose the ability to move."
Over the years, no one in the sect has ever passed the test of the Clear Spring River, which shows just how troublesome the Clear Spring River is.
The sect leader glanced at the elders beside him, who were all looking at him, and gave them a cold look: "I, the sect leader, have the final say in all matters, big and small, within the sect."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and returned to their seats.
The lackey beside Feng Luo was about to speak again, but he found that the sect leader's eyes had already locked onto him.
If he dares to say it, I believe the sect leader will definitely cause him trouble in the future.
Given the choice between his senior brother and the sect leader, he would have wisely chosen the sect leader.
Seeing that no one objected to his words, the sect leader showed a satisfied expression and looked at Xiao Feng: "You can come and live in our sect's courtyard directly."
Upon hearing that the sect leader intended to break the sect's rules for Xiao Feng, the elder sighed and walked to the side.
This time, the sect leader has essentially stood on the opposite side of all the elders.
Seeing the elders' troubled expressions, Xiao Feng knew all too well how much pressure the sect leader had been bearing on his behalf.
Since that's the case, Xiao Feng stood up from the side: "Sect Master, didn't the elders say that only those who obtain the Mountain and River Sword can become the last disciple? This disciple is willing to go."
With just one sentence, everyone present turned their attention to Xiao Feng.
Feng Luo's lackey muttered to himself, "Has this kid ruined his brain with cultivation? He actually agreed to go to Qingquan River to retrieve the Mountain and River Sword?"
When Feng Luo heard the lackey's voice, he sneered: "I think... that kid probably thinks his pills are useful. I want to see how he gets the Mountain and River Sword."
The elders exchanged glances and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sect leader, as if wanting to see his opinion.
The sect leader has just overruled all objections, relieving Xiao Feng of any worries.
No one expected that he would actually step forward on his own.
The sect leader glanced at Xiao Feng with a serious expression and said, "Qingquan River is not like the streams outside. You should be prepared."
Xiao Feng had the courage to come out, so he must have been prepared. He bowed slightly and said, "Sect Master, I have made preparations. We can't let others gossip about us."
The sect leader subconsciously looked in Feng Luo's direction and, sure enough, found them wearing gloating expressions.
Now that Xiao Feng has agreed to go to Qingquan River, the sect leader cannot make the choice for Xiao Feng and can only grant his request.
