It took Su Nu Palace ten days to complete the screening of the first batch of disciples. After accepting this batch of fifty disciples, they stopped accepting disciples and explained to other people who came to the palace that they would start accepting disciples again on the same day five years later.
"Why is that? If we wait another five years, won't that be a waste of time?"
Someone immediately asked unhappily.
“Please understand, everyone. Su Nu Palace is just a small sect with limited resources and a limited number of disciples. If we recruit too many people, resources will be unevenly distributed and the practice of the skills will not be thorough. Then what is the point of accepting disciples to pass on the skills?
Five years is enough time for the new disciples to lay a solid foundation and make some progress. We can send a group of disciples down the mountain to gain experience, and then recruit new disciples. This is also a responsibility to you."
Suyun was dressed in a white robe, looked very elegant, and her words were very convincing.
Everyone looked at each other and had to give up. If someone didn't want to accept disciples, they couldn't refuse to leave. Moreover, the attitude of Su Nu Palace showed that they valued every disciple. They were not like some sects that only knew how to accept disciples but not how to teach them. As long as you have a normal brain, you will know what to choose.
As for those who were not selected, Suyun also comforted them:
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. The reason you were not selected is not because of you. It's because you are not suitable for practicing the Su Nu Palace's skills. Our skills are based on softness, toughness, and dexterity. Your body shapes are more suitable for the tough route. Practicing the Su Nu Palace's skills will make your progress slow. It is better to join a suitable sect to learn skills."
Suyun used her eloquent tongue to get rid of the people who were surrounding the foot of the mountain, and then turned back to the mountain gate.
Lianyi had fifty new disciples, and she went to see them with great interest. After all, she was Su Minyi's last disciple, so she had a high seniority but was the youngest.
One day, Lianyi was lying on the locust tree in her master's yard reading a book, when she suddenly noticed a sneaky female disciple sneaking into the yard, looking around but not entering the house.
"Are you here to see the Master?"
Lianyi asked suddenly.
The female disciple was startled and looked up suddenly. She saw a little girl sitting on the branch of a locust tree. The murderous intent in her eyes flashed, and then she said embarrassedly:
"I am a new disciple and I am not familiar with this place. I just got separated from my fellow disciples and ended up here by mistake. May I ask where the disciple hall is?"
"Oh! So you are a new disciple. No wonder you got lost. The houses here are all similar."
Lianyi tilted her head and said with a smile, even giving the other party a reason.
"Yes! This is not the first time I've gotten lost. I'm too embarrassed to call for help, for fear of alarming everyone. Little sister, can you show me the way?"
"Turn left after leaving this courtyard and walk about a mile forward. There is a flower bed and a small pavilion. The Disciple Hall is right under the pavilion."
Lianyi pointed the way very seriously.
"Thank you, Junior Sister. I'm leaving now. Don't tell anyone that I'm lost."
The female disciple said this with a smile and left the yard.
After everyone left, Palace Master Su opened the door and said to Lianyi on the tree:
"You shouldn't make a sound. What if she has bad intentions?"
"Master, I can handle it, but she smells too bloody. I don't know how many people she has killed. How did my brothers and sisters choose her?"
Lianyi shook her head and sighed like a little adult.
"It's not their fault. Some people are willing to deceive, so they will do it perfectly. However, no matter how smart a fox is, it can't escape the hunter's eyes."
Su Minyi said lightly.
"I knew that Master would be able to see through her disguise. I'll go somewhere else."
Lianyi jumped lightly from the locust tree and skipped out of the yard.
She wanted to talk to Senior Brother Suyun and Senior Sister Sulin about this matter.
Starting from the next day, the female disciple disappeared from the team of new disciples. It was found that she was a disciple from another sect who had sneaked into the sect and came to steal the skills.
Half a month passed in such peace. Then, on a dark and windy night, a group of masked men raided the Su Nu Palace. The disciples at the mountain gate sounded the alarm before they died.
Lianyi was originally meditating, but upon hearing the bell, she immediately jumped out of the room, raised her hand, and hit a spiritual essence on a pillar outside the door. Within a moment, white mist rose in the entire Su Nu Gate, and the white mist was still spreading down the mountain.
The appearance of white fog slowed down the masked men's progress. They couldn't even see their companions in the white fog, so they became more vigilant and slowly moved closer together.
Su Minyi had already stepped out of the room at this time. When she saw the white fog outside the yard, she frowned. It seemed that the white fog deliberately avoided her yard.
"Master, you stay in the courtyard. Leave the rest to me and the other sisters."
Lianyi said loudly outside the yard.
"Ripple, you did this?"
Su Minyi was worried, so she opened the gate and asked.
"Yes, Master, I read about a kind of fog formation in a book. It uses white fog as a cover to interfere with the enemy's vision and hide the figure of the person setting up the formation, making it easier to kill the enemy."
"You are young, so you shouldn't see blood. Just command your brothers and sisters."
"Yes, disciple, I will obey your order. Master, please go back and rest first. You don't need to take any action."
Lianyi invited Palace Master Su back to the courtyard with a smile, then turned around to look for Sulin.
The moment Sulin heard the alarm, she reunited with Suyun, Sulan and Wang Zhenzhen and issued two orders. As a result, white fog rose outside the yard, obscuring their vision for a moment.
"What's going on?"
"Don't worry, wait a moment and make sure it's the other party who did it, or..."
"Brother, I did it. Now we have trapped those masked men in the white fog."
Lianyi walked slowly out from the depths of the white fog and explained to the few people.
"Junior sister, what kind of formation are you setting up?"
Wang Zhenzhen knew her niece well. She was smart and clever, and if it weren't for her physical condition, she would have gone down the mountain to gain experience long ago.
"Mist formation, if you follow my instructions, you will be able to encounter the masked men."
"Use the secret voice transmission to avoid alerting those masked men."
Sulin has already grasped the sword in her hand.
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
Lianyi tiptoed onto the roof of the main courtyard, then began to send a message to the disciples of Su Nu Palace to surround and kill the masked man.
The masked men are the secret guards sent by Xiangyi. Their moves are mainly killing moves, without any fancy moves, and they aim to kill with one move.
Lianyi observed for a while and found that these people's moves were somewhat familiar. In the twelve years, she had gone down the mountain only a few times, so these people were definitely not the ones she met after she was born.
“It’s them!”
Lianyi finally remembered where she had seen these guys. The shadow of this group of men in black was in Yingze Villa where her parents were killed. Why did they come to Su Nu Palace? Was her identity exposed?
"Senior Sister, leave one person alive and ask them why they attacked Su Nu Palace."
"I know. Even if you don't tell me, I will ask you clearly. We in the Su Nu Palace have never made any enemies in the martial arts world." (End of this chapter)
