Chapter 396
"You..." Zuo Wenlu was a little uncomfortable seeing Xu Zhaoyue's drastically changed appearance. He was about to find an excuse to refuse, but Xu Zhaoyue was faster.
She opened the food box, took out the cakes, stuck out her tongue with a shy look on her face, and said, "Actually, I lied just now. Most of them were made by the spiritual chef. I made them several times, but they were all limp. Look, brother." She pointed to one of the cakes, which did look very ugly. Then she raised her hand and assured, "Brother, don't worry. I will continue to work hard until one day I can make cakes that you like."
Zuo Wenlu looked at the ugly-looking pastries, and for some reason, his heart softened and he couldn't bring himself to say no. He knew Xu Zhaoyue's status in Taiyi Sect and the entire Feihong Continent. Thinking of such a rich lady cooking for him, it was impossible for him not to be touched at all.
He sighed and said, "I am already in the Nascent Soul stage, so I don't need to eat much. Junior Sister Xu, there is no need to do these things. Just tell the chef what you want to eat. Junior Sister has good talent, so it is better for you to focus more on cultivation. This way, Elder Xu will be happy."
Xu Zhaoyue nodded and admitted her mistake: "Brother, you are right. I have made my father worry. Don't worry, brother. Apart from learning cooking, I will spend the rest of my time on cultivation. If there is anything I don't understand, can I ask you?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked eagerly at Zuo Wenlu. If she was still as arrogant as before, Zuo Wenlu would say that Elder Xu had a higher cultivation level than him. But looking at her eyes now, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only say, "If I have time."
Xu Zhaoyue immediately became happy: "That's great, Senior Brother, please try it. Although these beautiful cakes were not made by me, I watched the chef make them. Senior Brother, please see if you like them. If you don't like them, I will make something else next time."
Zuo Wenlu ate several pieces of cakes for the first time ever, and was then asked many questions about cultivation by Xu Zhaoyue. Finally, before his patience reached its limit, Xu Zhaoyue offered to leave.
Watching her leaving, Zuo Wenlu frowned slightly. If Xu Zhaoyue could really change her temper, he wouldn't hate her so much. But he just shouldn't think about anything else. He wouldn't let other things hold him back.
Xu Zhaoyue knew that she had succeeded. As expected, her senior brother didn't like her previous temper, so she decided to change for him. No matter what, as long as she could win his heart, he would take her to the upper realm in the future.
This time, she will step on that woman Qi Yunyun under her feet and let her watch her enjoy the glory.
While Xu Zhaoyue was trying hard to get close to Zuo Wenlu, he was also making some moves during this disciple-recruiting conference.
Finally, the day to accept a disciple arrived. Even if Zuo Wenlu did not plan to accept a disciple, as a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, he had to show up on this day.
His appearance caused quite a stir, especially since he actually tolerated Xu Zhaoyue staying by his side this time. Xu Zhaoyue also had such a gentle look on her face, which made the other disciples rub their eyes. Was this a ghost? Was this Miss Xu Zhaoyue?
"What's wrong with that girl? Has her personality changed?" another elder asked Elder Xu.
Elder Xu was not used to it at first, but after seeing it a few times, he let his daughter do what she wanted. He said, "Yes, Zhaoyue has been much more sensible recently. She has learned how to make cakes from the chef, and she brings them back to honor me as her father."
The elder saw Elder Xu's eyes narrowed with laughter and said, "Haha, maybe you have reached the age of understanding."
Jingyan Sect was also recruiting disciples, but with disciples like Lu Xianjun and the Heart-Searching Road, Yuan Jing and Ning Yan were not very busy. Yuan Jing calculated the time and said, "By now, the hero and heroine should be meeting. It can be seen that Zuo Wenlu is not without heart, but this heart is only for the heroine."
"When do you plan to start?"
Yuan Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait a little longer. In my opinion, it won't be too late to take action when Zuo Wenlu falls in love with the heroine. Then we can ask him if he still remembers his wife and son in the mortal world."
Ning Yan said: "It's been too long."
Yuan Jing clapped his hands and said, "Then let's get rid of that guy Lu Herong first, and then seek revenge on that vicious female partner and the Chen family's cultivators in Taiyi Sect, one by one."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ning Yan said with a smile. He thought that Lu Herong must not have a good time during this period.
Isn't it just like that? Lu Herong has always been proud of his identity. With his father around, no matter how big a trouble he gets into, his father will cover it for him. In his opinion, as the leader of the Chixia Sect, even the Taiyi Sect has to give him some face. What does he need to worry about in this huge Feihong Continent?
In his opinion, his father was omnipotent, but he never expected that his father would be defeated by that bastard Ning Yan. All the monks from the sect who went to cause trouble for Ning Yan were defeated by Ning Yan's sword and returned in disgrace. As soon as his father came back, he put him in solitary confinement and forbade him to leave the sect or even go down the mountain.
Lu Herong couldn't believe that his father would lose to Ning Yan. How could this be possible? Ning Yan had only practiced for a few years, how could he be stronger than his father?
However, the disciples who went with him all confirmed this, and the photo stone that was passed out also confirmed Ning Yan's strength. This time Lu Herong was finally scared. For the first time, he was willing to be put in solitary confinement by his father. He knew that Ning Yan would never forgive him.
Sect Master Lu returned to the sect with a disgraced face. He did not even notice that there was one less female disciple in the sect. Moreover, he was called by the Supreme Elder who was in seclusion in the forbidden area, and was questioned on how he could be the sect master. Not only did he cause the Chixia Sect to lose a talented disciple, but he also made an enemy for the Chixia Sect.
Sect Leader Lu looked ashamed, "It's my incompetence. I didn't expect Ning Yan to be so lucky. He must have some secrets, otherwise he wouldn't have become so powerful in just over a decade. The Grand Elder also knows that it wasn't easy for He Rong to come, so he has been spoiled over the years. I will definitely discipline He Rong strictly in the future."
The Grand Elder was annoyed with him for bringing shame to the sect, but he did not think that Sect Leader Lu did anything wrong in choosing his son over his disciple Ning Yan. His mistake was that he did not clean up the mess and left such a huge trouble for the sect, while Ning Yan's behavior was truly treasonous.
Sect Master Lu said respectfully, "As for Ning Yan, I'm afraid the Grand Elder will have to intervene. He has a deep prejudice against the Chixia Sect. If we let him continue, he might..."
The Grand Elder waved his hand and said, "I understand what you said. I have asked him about his situation. This boy is really evil. Maybe he really has some secrets."
As soon as Sect Leader Lu heard this, he knew that the Grand Elder was interested in Ning Yan's secret. He had to be happy because this was the only way to ensure that the Grand Elder would get rid of Ning Yan. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep peacefully. Besides, if the Grand Elder knew it, how could he not know it?
"It was He Rong who caused trouble for the sect. After this matter is over, I will definitely send him to the secret realm to practice and temper his temper."
"It's time to do this."
When Master Lu came back from the forbidden area, Lei Yunyi saw his expression and guessed that the development of the matter was far from what he wanted. He was the one who brought the matter to the secluded Grand Elder, but he didn't expect that the Grand Elder would choose to stand on the side of the Master. The dignity of the sect must be maintained, but what about the mistakes made by Lu Herong and his son? Just cover it up?
Since the sect leader and his son were not punished, he guessed that the supreme elder would most likely take action personally. How could Ning Yan handle it?
The Supreme Elder's actions made Lei Yunyi even more disappointed. Are the sect's rules all for nothing? If Lu Herong doesn't learn his lesson, he will only become more arrogant next time. Anyway, his father will cover everything for him.
Taiyi Gate.
The top leaders are all paying attention to the new disciples who have come in. One group of them was brought over from the mortal world. After preliminary testing and screening, the top leaders were quite satisfied with the results. This time, they received two children with single spiritual roots, which is just the right age to join the sect. Children coming from the mortal world will be more loyal to the sect because the sect is the only one they can rely on.
There are also mortals in the world of immortal cultivation. Not all descendants of cultivators have spiritual roots and are able to practice. As they reproduce from generation to generation in the world of immortal cultivation, their numbers are naturally increasing, and they are all affiliated with various sects. It is more likely that there will be children with spiritual roots among the descendants of these cultivators.
Apart from the disciples with single spiritual roots who were worthy of their attention, even the disciples with double spiritual roots were not given much attention. At most, the disciples with double spiritual roots could enter the inner gate and start as ordinary disciples. Only after they had established their foundation could they be paid some attention to them.
Xu Zhaoyue stayed beside Zuo Wenlu the whole time, and gently poured tea for him: "Senior Brother Zuo, do you have a favorite disciple?"
Zuo Wenlu picked up the tea bowl and shook his head, saying, "I don't want to accept any disciples. I don't have that intention for the moment."
Xu Zhaoyue gritted her teeth secretly. Senior Brother Zuo said that he had no intention of accepting disciples. Could it be that Qi Yunyun was so special that Senior Brother Zuo, who did not want to accept disciples, changed his mind and accepted her as a disciple? However, there was no chance this time. She found someone to take the initiative and turn Qi Yunyun into someone else's disciple, severing the master-disciple relationship between her and Senior Brother Zuo.
Qi Yunyun came from the mortal world. Her qualifications were not the best, she only had three spiritual roots. But she secretly encouraged herself, thinking that it was okay, she would have the opportunity to come to the world of cultivation and enter the most powerful Taiyi Sect on Feihong Continent. She would fight back all the way up, and a time traveler like her should be the protagonist of this world.
When she first entered the sect, her first step was to find a master for herself. With a master as her backer, why would she still need to be afraid of other people with better qualifications?
She looked up at those high-ranking monks, and was immediately attracted by one of them, a male monk in white with a stern face. She stared at him intently. She thought that the monks she had seen before were outstanding enough, but they were nothing in front of this monk. She didn't expect that there was a man with such outstanding looks and temperament. This was the immortal cultivator she imagined.
It would be great if she could become his disciple, so that she could get the upper hand.
Xu Zhaoyue had noticed Qi Yunyun early in the morning. Seeing her staring at Senior Brother Zuo, she wanted to dig her eyes out. What right did this shameless woman have to seduce her Senior Brother Zuo? She glanced at Chen Anchen next to her, asking him to hurry up and take that woman away first.
After receiving the signal, Chen Anchen stood up and went to the registration place, pointed at a few people, and asked the manager to send them to him and register them as nominal disciples first. One of them was Qi Yunyun. Chen Jiachen had the cultivation level of Jindan, so he could also accept disciples.
