"Old man Huo, if you want to fight, then fight. I'm not afraid of you." Xue Junhan rolled up his sleeves, ready to have a big fight with Elder Huo, but was stopped by a voice.
"What's wrong with you guys doing at the assessment site?"
That voice... belongs to the sect leader.
The elders exchanged glances and quickly greeted the sect leader: "Greetings, Sect Leader."
The new recruits who came to participate in the assessment all had their mouths wide open, looking incredulous. They never expected that the sect leader would arrive so soon after the Holy Master left.
The leader of the Haoqi Pavilion is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished people to come to the Blue Ocean Continent; ordinary people rarely have the chance to meet him. They all know in their hearts that the appearance of the Holy Master and the leader today is for one person: Ye Xiruo.
This person was so dazzling that they were destined to only look up to him for the rest of their lives.
"Xue Junhan, do you mean this young alchemist is your newly accepted disciple?"
"That's right. Last year, Xiaoye became my disciple, but now they want to steal my disciple. I beg the sect leader to do me justice."
Ye Xiruo's lips twitched. Her master was openly accusing her of something bad, wasn't he afraid of being ganged up on by the other alchemists?
“Young alchemist is a prodigy and a treasure of our Haoqi Pavilion. Entrusting him to you alone would naturally be difficult to gain the support of the masses, and I am also not at ease with him.”
Upon hearing the sect leader's words, the other alchemists' hearts instantly stirred. The sect leader meant that the junior alchemists should join other sects, and they would all have a chance.
Or should we give the initiative to Ye Xiruo? Should they try their best to win her favor right now?
"Sect Leader, what do you mean by this? What have I done to displease or worry everyone? This is my only precious disciple. How can I not teach him properly?" Xue Junhan asked, sounding inexplicably aggrieved.
“Your talent has its shortcomings. What I mean is that the fact that the junior alchemist is your apprentice will not change. However, you cannot stop other alchemists from passing on their knowledge to the junior alchemist. Your entire Medicine King Pavilion must be responsible for the junior alchemist.”
Upon hearing this, the other examinees felt utterly hopeless. They all dreamed of becoming disciples of one of these elders, yet Ye Xi could receive guidance from all of them without lifting a finger. How could this not make them jealous and furious?
And with the promise from the Holy Master, they could already foresee Ye Xiruo's overpowered future. It was truly incomparable. If they continued to think about it, their Dao hearts would become unstable.
Of all these people, Shui Xi was the one who found it most unacceptable. Xue Junhan had taken on a disciple, Ye Xiruo, and now the sect leader had also come for Ye Xiruo.
Back then, when Xue Junhan rejected her, he clearly said that he would not accept disciples. Now it seems that it was all nonsense and just an excuse.
Shui Xi's aura suddenly became chaotic, and her eyes turned red. This was a surge of true energy, and she might suffer a qi deviation.
"Go to hell!" Shui Xi screamed and rushed towards Ye Xiruo, who rolled her eyes but did not move.
With so many people around, she doesn't even need to lift a finger; someone will naturally take care of this menace, Shuixi.
Shuixi screamed in agony as Zishu blasted her away with a single palm strike.
"What happened? How could it suddenly turn out like this?" Could it be that someone poisoned them, or that Yue Ran Valley was a spy sent to their Haoqi Pavilion? The sect leader's face immediately turned very ugly. Yue Ran Valley was like a persistent ghost; his presence was felt everywhere.
They actually managed to cause trouble during such an important apprenticeship test.
The sect leader suddenly realized that Ye Xiruo's exposure was very dangerous, at least for now. No, they had to find a way to block the news.
It must be said that the sect leader has a very vivid imagination and quickly turned the matter into a conspiracy theory. Yue Ran Valley was thus made the scapegoat by Shui Xi.
With so many elders and managers from the Medicine King Pavilion arriving, they quickly ascertained the situation in the stream. Overwhelmed with anger and frustration, they suffered a tremendous shock, which caused their true energy to go berserk.
Upon hearing this, the sect leader and elders' expressions turned somewhat unpleasant. It seems that in the future, when recruiting new members, they will not only consider talent and age, but also character.
Someone with Shuixi's character is absolutely unacceptable.
"Erase her memory and send her away." Not only must Shuixi leave, but everything she sees and hears here must not be spread.
"Yes." Shuixi was quickly dragged out.
The sect leader released a little bit of his aura at this moment, and apart from a few elders, everyone else was suppressed and felt very uncomfortable. This feeling of life and death being in someone else's hands was really unpleasant.
"Today, no one is allowed to spread anything about Ye Xiruo."
Starting with the person in charge, everyone took turns swearing an oath.
Although the elders did not swear an oath, they were all warned by the sect leader that Ye Xi Ruo was not only related to the rise and fall of the Medicine King Pavilion, but also to the entire Haoqi Pavilion. They must distinguish between what was important and what was not.
The elders nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood and that they would definitely nurture Ye Xiruo well.
Then, the sect leader left. It was already against the rules for the sect leader to be here, and now that everything was settled, he should naturally go back.
Even after the sect leader left, the other elders still looked at Xue Junhan with deep chill in their eyes.
"Old man Xue, did you hear and understand what the sect leader said just now?"
"Anyway, the apprentice is mine, so what do you have to be proud of or smug about?"
"We're practically half-masters of Night Alchemist, so we're all equal. Don't put on airs."
"Believe it or not, I'll take Zishu and Yingxun with me too."
"You dare."
Xue Junhan was eventually driven out by the seven elders.
Zishu and Yingxun were naturally noticed by the elders, but they were not in a hurry to choose a master right now. Instead, they wanted to think about it.
Before leaving, Xue Junhan and the sect leader both said that Ye Xiruo would be exempted from all the upcoming tests and could go to Lingyun Peak now.
Before leaving, the elders made sure to make their presence known to Zishu and Yingxun before departing one by one.
The assessment of the remaining dozen or so alchemists was also suspended. Too much had happened today, and continuing the test now would not be fair to these people, so the test would continue tomorrow.
No one seemed to have any objections to this.
As for Ye Xiruo, the culprit behind all this, she went directly to Lingyun Peak to talk to Xue Junhan about life.
He wanted to inquire about the other elders so that his senior brother and Yingxun could find a good master.
Xue Junhan was very satisfied that Ye Xiruo had arrived at Lingyun Peak so quickly.
"Little apprentice, you've finally arrived."
"Didn't Master already prepare for this?"
