The Sixth Elder immediately informed the Sect Master of the performance of Chen Yan and the other seven in the training hall.
"Thanks to Elder Qi, our Qiankun Sect has been blessed with seven geniuses!" The Sixth Elder's tone was extremely excited, and his words made the Sect Master's expression gradually become happy, but made the Nineth Elder and An Daqing's expressions increasingly ugly.
"Eight," Elder Qi corrected with a raised eyebrow. He said proudly, "The disciple I accepted is also a gifted and talented young man."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Sixth Elder quickly agreed with a smile.
Bu Feng cupped his hands and smiled, "Master, this is a happy event worth celebrating."
The clan leader's brows relaxed, a rare expression of joy showing on his face, and he nodded in agreement.
"Very good."
Elder Qi smiled slightly and said, "Master, there is one thing I haven't had time to ask you yet. How will you deal with the matter of Chen Yan becoming someone's concubine?"
The sect leader's smile faded slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The matter has been settled. Chen Yan is innocent. An Daqing will not only apologize to Chen Yan, but will also be sent to the Punishment Pavilion to be punished. As for the Ninth Elder, you must apologize for injuring Chen Yan."
The Ninth Elder's expression changed.
Dong Zhuxue sneered: "What? As an elder, you don't want to set an example?"
The Ninth Elder was about to retort, but he found that several elders present were staring at him with displeasure, as if implying a threat.
The Ninth Elder gritted his teeth and had no choice but to accept defeat.
He turned towards Chen Yan and said in a cold voice: "I'm sorry."
Bu Feng sighed softly, "Ninth Elder, your tone doesn't sound like an apology at all. Instead, it sounds like you're scolding someone."
The Ninth Elder was so angry that his chest heaved. He gritted his teeth and could only hold back his anger. He stared at Chen Yan with a sinister look and softened his tone: "I'm sorry."
Dong Zhuxue said coldly, "You hurt her. You can't expect her to forgive you just by apologizing. Shouldn't you show some appreciation? At least give her a fifth-grade Saint-level elixir to heal her!"
Fifth level of Saint rank? !
The Ninth Elder was furious. Just for such a minor injury, he was asked to give him a fifth-grade holy healing pill!
"No!" The Ninth Elder's face turned pale.
Dong Zhuxue raised her eyes and said, "No? Then deduct it from your salary."
When the Ninth Elder heard this, he was furious.
"Dong Zhuxue!" He wished he could kill this bitch Dong Zhuxue right now!
At this time, the clan leader spoke: "In that case, then deduct it from your salary."
The Ninth Elder's face was so dark that ink could drip out of it. He held a grudge against Chen Yan and these elders.
"Yes, Sect Master."
The Ninth Elder could only lower his eyes and agree. Then, as if he had thought of something, he sneered, "Judging them as peerless geniuses based solely on their achievements in the training hall is ridiculous! Wenren Ji from Chengyun Hall broke through to the True Spirit Realm within a year. If they can also break through to the True Spirit Realm within a year, they can be considered true geniuses. Otherwise, this is just a fabricated story. Don't let it get out there; it will only make you a laughing stock."
The Sixth Elder frowned and said unhappily, "An Ming, you can't target them just because of this festival!"
"I am only telling the truth." The Ninth Elder said with sarcasm.
Suddenly, the Sect Master spoke up: "What the Ninth Elder said is not without reason. Regarding Chen Yan and the others' training hall results, don't spread the news yet, and don't publicize the fact that the Qiankun Sect has recruited a peerless genius."
"But..." The Sixth Elder frowned and hesitated slightly.
The elders looked at each other.
Everyone understood why the sect leader gave such an order.
Keeping a low profile will allow the eight people of Chen Yan to grow better.
Over the years, countless geniuses have died unknowingly because they showed off their talents too much.
The Ninth Elder naturally understood the meaning of the Sect Master's words, and his expression became increasingly grim, because he realized that the words he had just said not only could not deal with Chen Yan and the others, but also helped them invisibly.
He was nearly beside himself with rage.
hateful!
The Sect Master's gaze swept calmly over everyone present and said, "There are only a few of you in the hall. If anyone spreads this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Everyone in the hall bowed and responded. Among them were Elder Qi, Dong Zhuxue, Bu Feng, Ji Liufeng, the Sixth Elder, Chen Yan, the Ninth Elder, An Daqing and three doctors.
Finally, the sect leader deducted a fifth-grade holy pill from the ninth elder’s salary and gave it to Chen Yan.
The Ninth Elder could only watch helplessly as his own elixir was delivered to Chen Yan's hands. He was filled with hatred in his heart!
"Thank you, Sect Master." Chen Yan lowered his head and took it, then turned in another direction, glanced at the Ninth Elder, and said nothing.
And this look, in the eyes of the Ninth Elder, was a provocation!
The clan leader, who was in a high position, said, "The elders, please stay. The rest of you, please leave the hall."
Chen Yan, An Daqing and the three doctors all left the hall.
Only the sect leader and six elders were left in the hall.
The sect leader's gaze fell on Dong Zhuxue, and he asked softly, "Zhuxue, do you want to accept Chen Yan as your personal disciple?"
"Yes." Dong Zhuxue nodded.
The Sixth Elder glared and objected: "No, he is my personal disciple!"
"I only want Chen Yan." Dong Zhuxue looked at the Sixth Elder and said, "You can choose a few others to be your personal disciples."
The Sixth Elder seemed slightly hesitant.
Elder Qi suddenly stroked his beard and said, "I think Wentian Mountain is still short of seven people."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Who doesn't know that Wentian Mountain is the mountain governed by Elder Qi? Inner disciples can only go to Wentian Mountain on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and the purpose of going there is to listen to Elder Qi's teachings.
At other times, Liuguang Mountain is not open to the public.
Apart from Elder Qi and his direct disciples, there is no one else who can stay in Wentian Mountain for a long time.
Of course, the sect leader and elders can enter Wentian Mountain, but they will not stay for long.
From what Elder Qi said now, it was obvious that he wanted to accept Chen Yan and the other seven as his personal disciples.
The Sixth Elder said with a rather resentful tone, "Elder Qi, this isn't very good. Haven't you already accepted a disciple?"
"I think it's pretty good." Elder Qi sighed.
Dong Zhuxue frowned and wanted to say something, but was pulled by Bu Feng. She turned her head and saw Bu Feng shaking his head slightly.
Ji Liufeng laughed teasingly: "Elder Qi, how come you have the energy to accept so many personal disciples now? In the past, you were reluctant to accept personal disciples because you thought it was troublesome."
"I've never had much energy, but now it's fate." Elder Qi smiled. "I've been eyeing them since I was on Half Moon Island, so don't fight with me."
After hearing this, the Sixth Elder and the others knew that there was no hope.
Who can compete with Elder Qi?
Unless the clan leader wants to accept personal disciples.
However, the sect leader was too busy and he simply couldn't spare any extra time to teach his disciples personally.
At this time, the Ninth Elder's face became even darker when he heard their conversation.
The Sect Master smiled slowly and said, "Leave them to Elder Qi, and I will feel at ease."
Elder Qi bowed and said with a smile, "I will definitely not disappoint the Sect Master's expectations."
