Although Dongji Jun also has a celestial spirit beast, he only subdued it at the risk of his life after he became a terrestrial beast master.
Besides, when he first awakened his spiritual veins, he was only at the eighth level of his spiritual body. How could Riemann reach the ninth level?
In addition, the heavenly spirit beast under her is able to stand on equal footing with him at such a young age. If she continues to practice diligently in the future, her potential will be immeasurable.
It was the first time that Lord Dongji felt a sense of crisis after being the Lord for so many years.
After a long moment, Lord Dongji looked at Su Man, his eyes slightly darkening. "Since the competition is over, you can leave."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. He still wanted to accept Zuo Yaohe as his disciple.
Hearing this, Zuo Yaohe breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since she discovered that Su Man was a ninth-level spirit, Zuo Yaohe was completely furious. The cat next to her didn't dare to speak.
She was afraid that Dongji Jun would change his mind because of Su Man's talent and that ugly celestial beast. Now, when she heard Dongji Jun's final decision, she almost laughed out loud.
After being in the Beast Taming Sect for more than half a year, she naturally knew how much Li Man wanted to become a direct disciple, how much he cared about Dong Ji Jun's words and deeds, and was even willing to take risks for Dong Ji Jun.
But no matter how hard she tried or how outstanding she became, Lord Dongji was unwilling to accept her as his disciple.
Zuo Yaohe was happy, but the surrounding guests started talking about it.
"Lord Dongji didn't accept the ninth-level spirit body of the Heavenly Spirit Beast, but wanted to accept Zuo Yaohe?"
"I guess Lord Dongji still remembers Zuo Yaohe's kindness in saving him at the cost of her life."
"Oh, how confused! The development of a sect cannot rely on favoritism."
"That's right, if Lord Dongji doesn't like Li Man, she might as well come to our sect. Not to mention being the first disciple of the sect leader, I'll let her be the sect leader even if she wants to!"
"Hey, why is it your sect? If you want to come, come to our place."
"What a fart you are!"
Seeing the two of them getting more and more excited, someone beside them reminded them, "Whether to leave the Beast Taming Sect or where to go is up to Li Man himself. The two masters, please be patient."
-
No matter what, everyone was completely confused about Dongji Jun's choice, and the discussions were so loud that they could not be suppressed.
Seeing that the situation was beyond his control, Dongji Jun walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back and came to the middle of the stands.
"In Dongji, I select my own disciples. Talent and character are both indispensable. Please be aware of this."
Although the words were chosen carefully, everyone could hear the hidden meaning of Dongji, which was nothing more than saying that although Su Man had abilities, her character was not up to par and she was not worthy of Dongji Jun's eyes.
Seeing that Dongji Jun was backing her up, Zuo Yaohe regained her courage and bowed directly in the direction of Dongji Jun, "Thank you, Master."
"Get up."
Although he was talking to Zuo Yaohe, his eyes were looking at Su Man, as if he was wary of her causing trouble again.
Su Man was not annoyed. After Zuo Yaohe stood up, she said coldly, "Since the Lord said that the character of a disciple is particularly important, then if someone claims credit for others' achievements and even intends to murder a fellow disciple, can that be considered as having good character?"
...
When Su Man said this just now, no one took it seriously.
But now, there was not a single mocking sound from the audience. It was completely silent, and everyone was waiting for Su Man's explanation.
Su Man raised the corner of her lips. This is a bad thing. When your status is not high enough, others will put the blame on you even if you didn't do it.
But when you reach a certain status, even if you did it, they will find ways to find excuses for you.
Zuo Yaohe insisted that there was no evidence to prove her wrongdoing. Instead of panicking, she challenged him, "Senior Sister, I know you're not convinced that I'm your direct disciple, but this is Master's will. Even if you try to distort the truth, it won't change it. You'd better save your breath."
Su Man chuckled, "Oh? You mean you didn't see me in the forbidden area, didn't take the magical herbs I picked for the Lord, and didn't let the Peng bird hurt me?"
Without waiting for Zuo Yaohe to answer, Su Man continued, "I have served the Lord for many years. No matter if the Lord was injured, seriously, sick or cultivating, I was always by his side. How come when the Lord was poisoned, I avoided him?"
Listening to Su Man's slow and methodical analysis, Dong Jijun's brows unconsciously furrowed on the high platform. A strange feeling also arose in his heart. Yes, Li Man had been with him for many years. Even if he was unwilling to risk his life for him, he would not abandon him to fend for himself. Could it be that something really happened that he didn't know about?
Zuo Yaohe initially waited for Dongji Jun to speak for her, but in vain, she had to do it herself.
"Who knows, Senior Sister, if you've seen that Master is beyond help and you don't want to pretend anymore? Besides, you've been missing since Master became seriously ill. I haven't even seen you in the forbidden area, let alone the Beast Taming Sect. How can you possibly steal the herbs?"
Seeing her self-righteous look, Su Man raised an eyebrow, "You mean, you didn't let the Peng bird hurt me, and threw me into the forbidden area to fend for myself?"
In order to clear herself, Zuo Yaohe simply said, "I don't know what you are talking about. The Dapeng bird was given by Master, and I have always cherished it. Naturally, I would never use it against a fellow disciple. Senior Sister, please stop making unfounded arguments."
This is what Su Man wanted. Her goal was achieved. She pretended to be distressed and said, "Is that so..."
Zuo Yaohe thought Su Man couldn't think of a way to clarify the matter, and she became even more complacent. "Of course, Senior Sister, I advise you to apologize to Master and not make a fool of yourself in front of all the seniors."
"Really? If it's true, then if you haven't seen me in the forbidden area, and you haven't let the Roc fight me, then I have something to ask you."
Su Man paused, "Why is there a mark of a thousand-mile chase on the Peng bird's body?"
