Chapter 3: Become a Disciple
"Brother Lu, have you decided which master you want to choose?" Someone approached Lu Fei in a very familiar manner and asked.
This man looked to be about the same age as Lu Fei. He was quite active among the crowd. After staying in Luoyun Peak for a few days, he became friends with everyone.
Even someone like Lu Fei, who is oblivious to what's happening outside, is somewhat familiar with him and knows his name is Ye Qingzhou.
Seeing that Lu Fei ignored him, Ye Qingzhou didn't get angry. He continued with a smile: "Actually, I felt a little familiar with you the first time I saw you. Are you from the Dongchang Lu family?"
In addition to the large and small sects, there are also various immortal cultivation families in this world.
However, most aristocratic families regard blood ties as a prerequisite for inheritance and do not allow outsiders to enter, so their scale is smaller than that of sects, and they are less influential.
Among these families, four have a long history and mysterious heritage from ancient times, so they are more powerful.
The Dongchang Lu family is one of them.
"However, Dongchang has been closed for ten years. The roads and teleportation arrays leading to the outside world have been destroyed. How did you get out? What happened to Dongchang?"
As Ye Qingzhou spoke, a raging fire of gossip burned in his eyes.
Lu Fei looked up at him, her expression indifferent and cold, and the words she spoke were like a knife that could hurt people's hearts.
"What's it to you?"
The smile on Ye Qingzhou's face froze for a moment. He wanted to pat Lu Fei on the shoulder and advise him not to do evil and make more enemies, but he met Lu Fei's eyes.
That gaze was like the sharpness of a sword, and he himself was like a long sword about to be unsheathed.
Ye Qingzhou swallowed his saliva, and somehow he didn't dare to touch Lu Fei. He ran to the other side dejectedly and chatted with others.
Lu Fei didn't give him any extra glances, but just held the knife in his hand, walking and thinking about where he had seen Jian An Ning.
What's wrong with this guy? Ye Qingzhou glanced at him and said secretly in his heart.
Someone answered his question in his heart.
"Don't worry about them. They're just insignificant minions." The slightly aged voice said contemptuously, "You only need to choose a disciple with the lowest presence. Then, do as I say. I guarantee you'll get what you want."
Ye Qingzhou was no longer surprised by this old voice.
In fact, his original name was not Ye Qingzhou, and he did not live in this world. He was a time traveler.
The Ye family is actually one of the aristocratic families with ancient heritage, and Ye Qingzhou is the most inconspicuous disciple of the side branch. Seeing that he could not obtain the most core inheritance of the family, the original Ye Qingzhou made up his mind to find a way out outside the family and decided to join the Qingyun Sect.
However, traveling from Cangwu where the Ye family is located to Zhongzhou where the Qingyun Sect is located requires passing through many dangerous places. The original Ye Qingzhou died on the way and died in Yuyuan, leaving the time traveler to pick up his shell.
Yuyuan is a dangerous place. The original Ye Qingzhou died there, not to mention the one who traveled through time.
Just when he was about to be eaten by Yu Yuan's bear monster, he heard this old voice.
The voice said that they could make an agreement. As long as he followed the old voice's instructions, Ye Qingzhou would survive and even have the opportunity to return to his real world.
And Ye Qingzhou had indeed overcome one difficulty after another under the guidance of the old voice, so he now trusted it more than he was on guard against it.
"The elder with the least presence?" Ye Qingzhou muttered to himself.
The inner sect elders of Qingyun Sect all have a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage, while the outer sect elders have a cultivation level above the Golden Core stage. If we talk about inconspicuousness, of course the outer sect elders are more suitable.
But the person next to him heard Ye Qingzhou's words and replied, "That's probably Elder Jian from Yuxuan Peak. She only has two disciples there."
Ye Qingzhou was a descendant of the Cangwu Ye family after all, so he had some understanding of the Qingyun Sect, and this understanding was also inherited by the people who traveled through time.
There are ten elders in the Nascent Soul stage in Qingyun Sect, and Jian Anning can probably only be ranked last.
But, come to think of it, didn't that old voice ask him to find someone with little presence to become his disciple?
If we look for an outer sect elder who is in the Jindan stage, it would be unfair to the original owner who came to Zhongzhou Qingyun Sect despite knowing that the road ahead was difficult.
Ye Qingzhou thought about it and had already made a decision in his heart.
The next day.
The sky, which had been shrouded in haze for a long time, finally cleared up a little, and the dazzling sunlight fell on the snow all over the Floating Mountain.
In front of the sect's main hall, young men who passed the entrance test lined up in several teams.
The young people's eyes, full of longing and expectation, shine brighter than ice and snow in the sunlight.
Generally speaking, this is their only chance to meet all the dozens of elders of Qingyun Sect and the Sect Master Yun Zhongzi.
Yun Zhongzi stepped forward, his robe and gray beard fluttering in the wind. He encouraged these young men who had passed the trial, welcomed them to join, and then let them choose their master.
This is a two-way choice. There is already a long queue at the Great Elder's side, and it is obviously impossible for the Great Elder to accept so many disciples at once.
The outer sect elders, whose cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage and whose resources were weaker, tried to attract more young people by showing off their magical powers.
In the bustling crowd, Jane Anning seemed a little out of place.
There were few people around her, and few young people outside the Qingyun Sect had heard of her name. She was not active in recruiting disciples like those Jindan stage elders.
Her eyes were only on Lu Fei.
She thought to herself that she must drag this young man to Yuxuan Peak.
So, Jian An Ning walked towards Lu Fei.
Lu Fei's state was completely out of tune with those teenagers. He did not take the initiative to step forward like the other teenagers. He just stood there.
His red clothes were particularly conspicuous in the heavy snow, but he lowered his head, and no one knew what was in his mind.
Jian An Ning raised his hand and was about to call Lu Fei's name when he saw someone suddenly intervene and stand between him and Lu Fei.
Ye Qingzhou's face was full of smiles and a look of respect. He even prostrated himself before Jian Anning and said, "I have heard of Elder Jian's great name for a long time. I admire him deeply and would like to become a disciple of Yuxuan Peak."
Jian Anning paused slightly, not because of Ye Qingzhou's respectful attitude, but because of his words.
Does she still have any good reputation in the world?
So Jian Anning directly bypassed Ye Qingzhou and left him two words:
"No."
The kind expression on Ye Qingzhou's face froze for a moment, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
He wanted to go forward and fight for it again, but he saw Jian An Ning rejected him very decisively, turned around and smiled at Lu Fei.
He said, "Since you have seen me, you should become a disciple of Yuxuan Peak!"
Ye Qingzhou was actually there that day, but for some reason, he felt a fire rising in his heart, burning his teeth.
What was even more infuriating was that Lu Fei only looked up at Jian An Ning, then continued to look down at the white marble floor and said softly, "I don't know."
However, Ye Qingzhou did not realize that this was not the limit of his anger.
Elder Zhao, the Discipline Hall elder who always appeared like a ghost at Luoyun Peak, also relaxed his expression, as if a relative had died, and said to Lu Fei in a gentle voice, "I have many disciples in Yuxu Peak, and as the sect's Discipline Hall elder, my disciples can get the most training resources except for those in Yunlu Peak."
Jian An Ning never expected that Zhao Tan would actually compete with her.
What was even more unexpected was that after hearing what Zhao Tan said, Lu Fei was actually moved.
This won’t do. Lu Fei must be her apprentice. She also wants to know whether the world will develop as described in the book.
So Jian An Ning didn't hesitate and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. The reason why Yuxu Peak was able to get so many resources is purely because there are so many disciples. It's not certain how much will be allocated to everyone."
"What's more," Jian An Ning said with a sinister smile towards Zhao Tan, "He is the Elder of Discipline. All Yuxu Peak disciples, regardless of their cultivation level, are members of the Discipline Hall. This means that in addition to the tasks required by the sect, Yuxu Peak disciples also have additional tasks for the Discipline Hall."
Lu Fei's expression was instantly shaken, and he walked directly to Jian An Ning and announced his attitude.
Jian An Ning's smile instantly became more genuine, and she raised her chin proudly and looked at Zhao Tan.
But Zhao Tan was not annoyed. After all, there was already a long queue of disciples who wanted to join Yuxu Peak in front of his eldest disciple.
Because there were so many people, most elders with many disciples asked their own disciples to help. Zhao Tan deliberately took time off to come and look for Lu Fei.
Ye Qingzhou watched this scene from the side and felt as if there was a breath stuck in his chest and he couldn't breathe out.
But his mind was still functioning normally, so he quickly followed Zhao Tan's pace and gave another big gift. He modified the words he had just said to Jian An Ning and said them to Zhao Tan again.
Zhao Tan glanced at him for a few times, not knowing what he had figured out. He simply pointed and told him, "Go line up over there."
Ye Qingzhou: ...
He was afraid that others would find out and think that there was a new soul in Ye Qingzhou's shell, so he obediently followed Zhao Tan's instructions, as if he really wanted to become a disciple of Yuxu Peak.
Let me explain this in two ways.
As for Jian An Ning, she originally only planned to accept Lu Fei as her apprentice. After getting the person, she quickly left here, turned into a beam of light, and headed towards Yuxuan Peak.
However, although Jian An Ning often uses flying instead of walking, she obviously forgot to consider that Lu Fei is still a mortal.
Although the escaping light will protect the people inside from being harmed, it sometimes causes some subtle effects.
As soon as Jian An Ning returned to the cave, he called his apprentice.
She introduced Lu Fei, "There are only four of us in Yuxuan Peak, including you. Your eldest senior brother will be here soon, but your second senior sister is in seclusion, so it may take some time before you can see her."
As she spoke, she walked towards the cave entrance, as if to see if Fan Qingyue had come, so she left Lu Fei behind and did not notice anything unusual about him.
"Master, has Junior Brother arrived?"
Fan Qingyue came very quickly and spoke enthusiastically.
"Here it comes." Jian An Ning pointed behind her, but her eyes fell on the horizon.
The setting sun dyed the sky red, like a burning flame, or like bloodstains left after a heavy blow.
"Hmm..." Fan Qingyue didn't notice that Jian Anning was lost in thought. He scratched his head awkwardly, took out the gift he had prepared for his junior brother, and said:
"Junior brother, your hairstyle is quite unique."
