Lin Feng turned to look at everyone and explained in a deep voice, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency! You are a celestial maiden, while they... are of lowly status. They... were only afraid of offending you, so they dared not approach." If it weren't for the accident, let alone otherworldly beings, even he, who came from a clan, would never have had the opportunity to meet the celestial maiden.
"Oh, what's the big deal?" You You waved his hand dismissively. "I'm still me. How about... I plant spiritual roots in everyone?" We're all brothers, if we can cultivate immortality, let's cultivate together. It's just a matter of a rejuvenation technique anyway.
"Absolutely not!" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise, shaking his head immediately.
Why?
"Your Excellency may not know, but each sect has strict rules for accepting disciples," Lin Feng said solemnly. "Those who join a sect must go through layers of selection. Only those with excellent aptitude and comprehension have the opportunity to obtain a spiritual root. These people will be the ones to protect the sect and the Heavenly Maiden in the future, so they must not be treated lightly."
“But I think my teammates are great!” Youyou said.
“I know Your Excellency is kind-hearted, but we cannot burden the Heavenly Maiden because of this.” Lin Feng said with an even more serious expression, “Although Your Excellency has not yet established any sect or belonged to any faction, you will one day do so. I am an exception, and my brothers… have not even had their aptitudes tested. To bestow spiritual roots upon them in this way may cause inconvenience to Your Excellency in the future.”
To be precise, only exceptionally talented individuals with extraordinary abilities have the opportunity to join a sect. Otherwise, very few sects will accept disciples with such abilities. There aren't many sects in the world, but there aren't a few either. You You is a newly emerged celestial maiden, and without a clan, she is already quite behind. If her first disciples are all extraordinary individuals, even if a sect is established later, it will likely be ridiculed by other sects.
His Majesty was unaware of these things; he simply considered them as his own people. But as her subordinate, he had no choice but to consider her feelings.
"If Your Excellency is mindful of the friendship we've built up over the past few days, you can wait until the sect is recruiting disciples in the future. Then you can assess the aptitude of our brothers and find an excuse to bring them into the sect." As long as they're not in the first batch, I'm sure no one will care.
His voice was loud enough that all his teammates heard it clearly, but no one objected. They all nodded firmly and looked at Youyou, as if they would rather die than let the Heavenly Maiden suffer any injustice.
Youyou: "..."
Suddenly I feel the burden on my shoulders has become even heavier!
