Chapter 17 Wen Shuxue Apologizes; Elder Xin's Apprenticeship Fails (2)...
When Song Tian woke up, he realized what he had missed, and he was filled with regret. If only he hadn't gone to Xianxiao City yesterday, if only he hadn't drunk the wine yesterday…
He desperately needs a well-paid and long-term mission. He has spent too many spirit stones and is always short of them, and now he is quite in debt.
Song Yincai knew nothing about Song Tian's affairs and didn't want to know.
Unfortunately, the news that someone in the Mission Hall fainted from anger because they didn't receive a mission has spread widely. Everyone is discussing why that person fainted because of a mission, and how terrible their mentality is.
When the rumors reached Song Yin's ears, she was stunned. The Mission Hall had many other missions besides delivering spirit herbs. Why was Song Tian so fixated on the mission of delivering spirit herbs?
Soon, news about Song Tian was overshadowed by another piece of news.
One of the disciples from Class C was chosen by an elder from the Outer Sect's Spirit Herb Peak to become his personal disciple. The elder overlooked a group of disciples with single spiritual roots and specifically chose that disciple with both water and wood spiritual roots.
This matter is far more attention-grabbing than things like someone reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining in a year or someone fainting in the mission hall due to a task.
After many years, news has spread that an elder of the Immortal Cloud Sect is once again accepting disciples.
The Immortal Cloud Sect has many disciples, but the elders can only accept a limited number of personal disciples; not everyone can become a personal disciple of an elder.
In the Immortal Cloud Sect, the most popular choices are to become the sect leader's personal disciple or an inner sect elder's personal disciple, followed by an outer sect elder's personal disciple, and lastly, becoming an inner sect disciple. However, apart from the last option, the probability of the first three options occurring is too small.
Song Yin became curious after hearing this and specifically inquired about who that person with both water and wood spiritual roots was.
Upon finding out who it was, Song Yin immediately lost interest, because the person who had been accepted as a personal disciple was Wen Shuxue.
Wen Shuxue has been riding high lately, especially compared to Song Tian, she couldn't be happier. She had long disliked Song Tian, and Wen Shuxue specifically found out where Song Tian was, and Chao Jue accidentally bumped into Song Tian.
Wen Shuxue: "Oh, isn't this our backbone? I heard you fainted in the mission hall a few days ago?" She emphasized the word "backbone".
Song Tian clenched his fists, his teeth grinding.
Song Yin reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining in just one year, and Wen Shuxue was even accepted as a personal disciple by an elder of Lingcao Peak. And what about him? His cultivation was still at the early stage of Qi Refining, no elder had accepted him as a personal disciple, and what's worse, he still owed a large sum of spirit stones!
In just one year, the twenty-two new disciples selected from Qing Shi Village have begun to diverge. The status of being a disciple of a celestial sect, which they were once proud of at home, is no longer special, because everyone around them is a disciple of a celestial sect.
Song Tian forced a smile, "Congratulations on becoming an apprentice of the elders of Lingcao Peak. Don't forget to give us lots of guidance in the future."
Wen Shuxue said bluntly, "Why should I give you some pointers? Because you were ridiculed when you were assigned accommodations, and you were punished for taking others to the inner sect academy without permission. I also heard that you had your eye on Song Yin and the others' long-term missions, and now those two have lost their missions because of you. Song Tian, haven't you realized that everyone who comes into contact with you will become unlucky, and the source of all the bad luck is you?"
Wen Shuxue was unaware that Qi Zibo had ordered Song Yin and Shi Heming to abandon their mission. She only knew that after Song Tian set his sights on Song Yin and Shi Heming's mission, the two of them also lost their long-term mission.
Wen Shuxue: "After you joined the sect, instead of cultivating diligently, you formed cliques. That's bad enough, but you're only interested in profit. You distance yourself from those who can't offer you benefits, and associate with whoever brings you the most. You're selfish, hypocritical, and only interested in profit. The others in the sect aren't fools. After seeing through your true nature, many people have proactively cut ties with you. Only those who came from Qing Shi Village still choose to believe you. But I believe it won't be long before the others from Qing Shi Village also distance themselves from you. I remember a few have already left on their own, haven't they?"
Seeing Song Tian's pale face and swaying body, Wen Shuxue smiled, held her head high, and brushed past Song Tian.
Wen Shuxue felt as if she had won a battle, her body and mind refreshed. This feeling lasted until she reached Lingcao Peak, but upon seeing familiar faces, her expression instantly darkened.
Song Yin was sitting by the field, eating the snacks Xia Xining had shared. The two sat side by side, with a few large leaves under their bottoms.
Xia Xining: "I just found out that it was a direct disciple of Lingdan Peak who wanted the spirit herbs. He even asked me if I had seen you at Lingcao Peak."
Song Yin: "What did you say?"
Xia Xining: "I told him I'd already met him, and he even said he'd bring you along when he delivers the spirit herbs this time."
Song Yin: "What do you want me to do?"
Xia Xining: "I don't know. I think I heard him say that it was an order from the elders."
Should I give myself another compensation? Song Yin: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Song Yin, what are you doing on our Spirit Herb Peak?" Wen Shuxue was furious when she saw the two of them walking leisurely.
Upon hearing this, Song Yin sighed. It was the same person again.
Song Yin looked up, without even getting up, and asked, "What is it now, my young lady?"
Wen Shuxue frowned and said with disgust, "You're disgusting! You still haven't answered why I'm at Spirit Herb Peak."
Song Yin pointed to the spirit field in front of her: "It's obvious that I'm picking spirit herbs."
Wen Shuxue disliked Song Yin entirely because she disliked Song Tian, and by extension, she disliked everyone with the surname Song.
"No, you'd better not get in our way at Spirit Herb Peak." Wen Shuxue said domineeringly.
Song Yin swallowed her snack and ignored her. "Oh, then just go away and don't see me."
Wen Shuxue pointed at Song Yin, "You, you, you! I'm going to tell Master!"
Song Yin: "Oh, then go ahead."
Wen Shuxue was angry and turned to leave. She went to find the elder of Lingcao Peak, who was also her master.
The current elder of Lingcao Peak is named Feng Yuyan. He also has dual spiritual roots of water and wood. He chose to take Wen Shuxue as his personal disciple because he valued Wen Shuxue's spiritual roots.
After finishing her snacks, Song Yin clapped her hands and continued picking spiritual herbs. Once everything was picked, she and Xia Xining went to Lingdan Peak together.
As for Wen Shuxue, who went to find her master, she went in unhappy and came out dejected. She went to find Song Yin, but there was no one at the spirit field anymore.
Wen Shuxue thought of talking to her master about this matter. Her master did not immediately agree to kick someone out, but asked her why she disliked Song Yin and what Song Yin had done to upset her.
Wen Shuxue had been afraid of her teachers and elders since childhood, a fear ingrained in her very being. Not daring to lie to her master, she timidly told the truth about her relationship with Song Yin.
With a disappointed tone, the master said to her, "So you can't tolerate someone just because they share the same surname as the person you hate the most? She didn't even provoke you; you were the one who went looking for trouble."
"Sigh, this makes me feel like I misjudged someone and took in a disciple with bad character. Perhaps I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to take in a Qi Refining disciple, but should have chosen a Foundation Establishment disciple from the Foundation Establishment Competition instead."
Wen Shuxue immediately knelt down in fear and admitted her mistake.
Feng Yuyan: "If you truly know you're wrong, then go and apologize in person. Shuxue, it's not terrible for people to make mistakes, what's terrible is knowing you're wrong but not correcting them. In this matter, you're completely wrong. You shouldn't have applied the hierarchy rules of the mortal world to the cultivation world, where strength is paramount. If you don't change your old ideas, you'll eventually pay the price if you run into someone powerful."
Wen Shuxue lowered her head: "I know I was wrong, I'll go apologize right away..." She knew from the beginning that she was in the wrong, so when she met Song Yin later, she would only tease her a few times and didn't dare to make a move.
Wen Shuxue went out to apologize to someone, but couldn't find anyone. She clutched her clothes and struggled for a long time before finally deciding to go to Zhao Wenzhuo and ask him to accompany her to the bamboo hut that night to apologize in person.
She heard that Shuxue knew her mistake and corrected it, and she didn't want to be the kind of person her master talked about who knew his mistake but didn't correct it!
On the other side, Lingdan Peak.
Upon seeing Song Yin, Shao Yangtian immediately came over.
Shao Yangtian: "Junior Sister, why did you quit your long-term mission?"
Song Yin: "Because of some other reasons."
Xia Xining took out the spiritual herbs, "Senior Brother Shao, I brought the spiritual herbs you wanted."
Upon hearing that Song Yin had arrived, Elder Xin and two other disciples also came to see her.
Upon seeing Song Yin, Elder Xin immediately asked, "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Song Yin's eyes widened, and she froze.
The fact that Feng Yuyan of Lingcao Peak accepted disciples ahead of schedule gave him a sense of crisis, after all, Song Yin was a very good prospect.
Before Song Yin could even get excited, Shao Yangtian was already buzzing with excitement, "Junior Sister, quickly agree!"
Xia Xining stood aside, watching the scene unfold; it was a rare sight to see an elder accepting a disciple.
Everyone was in high spirits, waiting for Song Yin to kneel down and kowtow to become his disciple.
Finally, Song Yin moved, but she did not kneel down.
"I'm sorry, Elder Xin, I already have a master."
You refused?
Rejected!!
The group of people who had come to their senses stared at Song Yin in shock.
Elder Xin frowned. "Who is your master?" Anyone is fine, just not his mortal enemy.
Song Yin: "My master's name is Qi Zibo."
After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent...
Elder Xin's three disciples all looked at their master.
Oh no! Just what I feared most has come to pass! Elder Xin's brow twitched, and he almost lost his composure as an elder.
No, I can't stand it anymore, I started cursing: "You damned Qi Zibo, you dog, you scoundrel, you even tried to steal the apprentice I had my eye on!"
Xia Xining, watching from the corner, didn't even blink. It was so exciting; she had to share it with her master. But the name Qi Zibo sounded familiar… wait, wasn't that the name of an elder from Danque Peak? Her master had just mentioned it a while ago!
Elder Xin saw Xia Xining while cursing, "You..."
Xia Xining was immediately startled, "Elder, I'm just a messenger delivering spirit herbs, I'll leave right away."
Elder Xin: "What spiritual root do you have?"
Xia Xining: "Fire Spirit Root".
Elder Xin: "It is the same as the Heavenly Spiritual Root of Shaoyang."
Song Yin was surprised, not expecting that Xia Xining also had a single spiritual root.
Elder Xin was determined to take on a disciple, saying, "Are you willing...?"
Xia Xining was so frightened that she immediately replied, "Reporting to the elder, this disciple has a master. This disciple is a disciple of Shi Wenbing from the inner sect's Tianqiao Peak, and is a weapon cultivator."
Elder Xin's lips twitched. Today was an extremely unlucky day; he shouldn't have accepted a disciple.
After a long while, Elder Xin waved his hand, "You two can go back now. Shao Yangtian, don't ask anyone else to deliver spirit herbs to you anymore. From now on, go to Spirit Herb Peak to get them yourself."
No wonder Qi Zibo took the initiative to arrange for Song Yin to do a mission at Lingdan Peak. No wonder Qi Zibo and Song Yin are neighbors. No wonder Song Yin is now tending to the spiritual fields at Lingcao Peak.
Elder Xin only just realized that it was all Qi Zibo's doing! He deliberately stole spirit stones from his Spirit Pill Peak! He deliberately flaunted that he had gained a good disciple!
After walking a distance, Song Yin muttered to herself, "So it wasn't going to be another Spirit Cleansing Pill as compensation."
The elder, with his high cultivation and keen hearing, immediately realized that Song Yin must have consumed the Cleansing Spirit Pill.
No wonder Qi Zibo came running in a rage demanding compensation!
No wonder!
The two kept whispering to each other on their way down the mountain.
Xia Xining: "So you're also a direct disciple of an inner sect elder, and so am I! The six peaks of the inner sect are one family, from now on we'll be good friends!"
Song Yin: "Good friend! But what does 'the six peaks of the inner sect are one family' mean?"
The six peaks of the inner sect are one family...
The faint sounds carried by the wind further aggravated Elder Xin's already fragile and wounded heart!
