Along the way, Ye Qiu set up many difficulties, just to see whether the little monkey's desire to learn was strong enough.
One day later…
At the head of the Butian Sect, the thrilling ceremony of accepting disciples was held once again.
The head of the Seven Sects looked around among the many outstanding young people who had emerged, and already had the goal of accepting a disciple in mind.
Ye Qiu is not interested in accepting a disciple right now, mainly because there is a monkey waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.
Too busy for now.
"Brother, have you heard? There was a loud noise yesterday and Qin Chuan was in trouble."
"I don't know what happened, but a beam of seven-colored divine light went towards the East China Sea."
In the Yuqing Palace, several people talked about a strange thing that happened yesterday, and Yang Wudi spoke earnestly.
As soon as this topic was raised, Qi Wuhui immediately responded, "I have heard about it, and one of my disciples saw it with his own eyes. There seemed to be a monkey in the seven-colored divine light."
“Some people say that this is an auspicious sign. This monkey was born from heaven and earth to bring blessings to the world.
It implies that the East Wasteland is on the rise, and now the East Wasteland has begun to spread. "
“I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”
After hearing what Qi Wuhui said, everyone immediately became interested.
Mingyue lowered her head and said nothing. She wanted to say something, but suddenly she found that Ye Qiu was silent and had a strange expression on his face.
Curiously asked: "Brother, do you know the origin of this monkey?"
After these words were spoken, Ye Qiu suddenly felt guilty and broke out in a cold sweat.
"What monkeys? I don't know what you are talking about. I don't understand."
What auspicious sign, fellow Taoist? Don't believe it. It's all rumors.
That monkey is definitely not a good omen. It's a blessing that he doesn't cause any trouble.
Seeing Ye Qiu's abnormal behavior, Mingyue was stunned and very confused.
Seeing how heatedly they were discussing, Ye Qiu remained silent.
Ye Qiu did not intend to reveal the fact that he was going to take the monkey as his apprentice.
He prepared to use a pseudonym, and go in the name of Bodhi Patriarch to capture the monkey, and teach him Taoism at the same time.
After he finishes his studies, whatever he wants to do or what he does will have nothing to do with Ye Qiu.
He didn't want to get involved and be implicated by the monkey.
Seeing how heated their discussion was, Ye Qiu thought about it and decided to make an announcement today.
They just watched him slowly stand up, and everyone looked over at once.
You must know that Ye Qiu is now the only emperor in Eastern Wilderness, a person that everyone is paying attention to.
His status and position are naturally needless to say.
"Master, Brother."
Ye Qiu called out lightly. Meng Tianzheng's heart trembled when he heard it and he looked over in confusion.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
"Um……"
Ye Qiu hummed softly and pondered for a while, as if he had made a decision.
Said: "Brother, I have something to announce today."
When everyone heard this, they immediately perked up. In the hall, in addition to the seven sect leaders, there were also many elders and disciples.
As well as some young talents who have passed multiple assessments and entered the final selection.
After hearing Ye Qiu's words, everyone perked up.
Seeing that they were all looking over, Ye Qiu looked behind him and said, "Qingzhu, come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingzhu walked in slowly, holding a Zixia sword in his hand.
When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that she was wearing a jade pendant around her waist. That was the jade pendant that only the head of Zixia Peak could wear and it was a symbol of status.
Seeing this, Meng Tianzheng suddenly understood something.
"Junior brother, you want to..."
Qi Wuhui also understood something and started to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Qiu halfway through.
He just waved his hand and said, "My fellow brothers, I have been in charge of Zixia Peak for ten years, and now I have been promoted to the throne and transcended the mortal world.
It is not appropriate to meddle in human affairs anymore and concentrate on seeking the truth.
Today... I pass the throne to my disciple, Lin Qingzhu."
"From this moment on, she is the nineteenth generation head of Zixia Peak."
When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.
"this……"
Everyone was a little surprised that Ye Qiu, who was so young, would retreat behind the scenes so early and let Lin Qingzhu take over.
His words caused a sensation throughout the Butian Sect.
You know, many of the outstanding young people here come here just for Ye Qiu's reputation.
But I didn't expect to get such news in the end.
Looking at their reactions, Ye Qiu smiled slightly. It was completely within his expectations.
In fact, Ye Qiu had no choice but to push his beloved disciple out this time.
There are some things he needs to deal with and he can't stay in the mountains forever.
Now the trend of the integration of the Eight Wastelands has emerged, although the integration has not yet been completed.
But the world on the other side is approaching, and big changes are about to happen, which no one can predict.
Which comes first, death or tomorrow?
The strange source is ready to move, and the unknown danger is slowly extending.
So, Ye Qiu thought about it for a night and finally made this decision.
He only smiled faintly and said, "My disciple is now a fifth-level expert, qualified to become a master."
"Today, Zixia Peak is in her charge and she is accepting disciples. Everyone...if you are interested, you can become her disciple and become my disciple."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another sensation and everyone became excited.
"Fuck, fuck, did I hear that right?"
There was an overwhelming cheer from below, and everyone became excited.
You know, Ye Qiu is the Great Emperor! His power is the greatest in the world.
Many people came to the Butian Sect this time just for him, but the conditions for accepting disciples at Zixia Peak were too harsh, and so far, they haven't accepted a single disciple.
These people originally thought that they had no chance to join Zixia Peak, but they did not expect Ye Qiu to suddenly say such a thing.
Letting Lin Qingzhu inherit the position of the abbot of Zixia Peak also means that she has to establish a sect, recruit disciples, and continue the legacy.
As long as they are good enough, they can be admitted to Zixia Peak, although they will become Lin Qingzhu's disciples.
But don't forget, Ye Qiu is behind her.
To be able to become the great emperor's disciple, your ancestors must have prayed for such an opportunity with great enthusiasm.
The Great Emperor is an existence that many people can only look up to. Let alone becoming his disciple, one would be just a dog on Zixia Peak.
If you visit any city on earth, you will be greeted by the city lord himself.
Is it an exaggeration?
No, that's not an exaggeration at all.
"Junior brother, Junior Sister Lin is still so young, and you let her come up. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Qi Wuhui frowned, feeling that it was inappropriate.
Meng Tianzheng didn't react much, just shook his head and agreed with Ye Qiu's decision.
He knew in his heart that Ye Qiu was now an emperor. Although the change in his status was subtle, they could feel it.
Discussing matters with Ye Qiu was too stressful.
He may have abdicated in order to relieve their embarrassment and pressure.
Therefore, letting his apprentice take over does not actually mean that he will completely ignore it.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I've made up my mind. Brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Ye Qiu said lightly, looking at his little cotton-padded jacket with satisfaction.
For Ye Qiu, Lin Qingzhu occupies a very high position in his heart.
When I was down and out, she was the one who accompanied me all the way, regardless of her poverty or the favorable circumstances, and she was always there for me wholeheartedly and silently.
Now that she has grown up enough to stand on her own, Ye Qiu is extremely pleased. It is time to let her come up and experience the pleasure of being the leader.
"But, my niece is still so young and doesn't understand many things yet. Are you sure she can teach me well?"
Qi Wuhui questioned. It was not that he doubted Lin Qingzhu's ability, but mainly because she was too young.
As of this year, it’s only nineteen at most, right?
Being the headmaster at this age, it is inevitable that he is a little unstable.
Hearing his doubt, Ye Qiu smiled faintly, squinted at Qi Wuhui, and said: "Brother, do you still remember how old I was when I inherited the throne of Zixia Peak?"
After hearing this, Qi Wuhui immediately shut up.
Okay, I'm sorry for talking too much.
This lineage is full of weirdos. How can we judge their behavior using common sense?
Yes, when Ye Qiu inherited Zixia Peak, he was the same age as Lin Qingzhu, but he still made Zixia Peak look very presentable.
Although he was unknown during those ten years, that was mainly because he was low-key and did not want to be in the spotlight.
When Ye Qiu was not in the limelight, he also thought that Ye Qiu was a waste and had no ability.
As a result, he was slapped in the face and almost died of anger. He even threw his face out of the mountain gate.
This experience once became a shadow in Qi Wuhui's life, which could not be shaken off.
Forget it, I'd better not say any more, so as to avoid getting slapped in the face again.
"hehe……"
Seeing Qi Wuhui being humiliated, Meng Tianzheng chuckled and said, "Junior brother, do you not plan to accept any more disciples?"
"Are you not going to pass on your unique skills?"
Now, Ye Qiu has only three disciples in total. Lin Qingzhu practices sword, and he has inherited the area that Ye Qiu is best at.
Zhao Wan'er is an alchemist, which is a side job, while Xiao Linglong is a body cultivator.
What they learned was probably less than one-tenth of what Ye Qiu had mastered.
If Ye Qiu retires like this, won’t these inheritances be cut off?
Meng Tianzheng just felt it was a bit of a pity, but Ye Qiu didn’t think so.
"Brother, when did I say I would not teach you anymore?"
"Um?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
What's the meaning?
After thinking about it for a moment, everyone suddenly realized.
"Yes, just because he doesn't accept disciples anymore doesn't mean he won't teach anymore."
Someone suddenly realized.
Although Ye Qiu says he won't accept disciples, Lin Qingzhu will. And her disciples will have to call Ye Qiu "grandmaster", right?
If she can't teach him later, her master will definitely not sit idly by.
Everyone present knew that Ye Qiu had a special preference for her, his eldest disciple.
He would definitely not sit idly by and do nothing. He would only hand over Zixia Peak to Lin Qingzhu in name so that he could free up his hands to do what he wanted to do.
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly understood.
"Alright! It's settled..."
Without allowing anyone to say anything else, Ye Qiu insisted, turned around, and carefully instructed Lin Qingzhu.
"Disciple, from now on, Zixia Peak will be handed over to you. I am very pleased with your performance."
"I hope our lineage can flourish in your hands."
Hearing Ye Qiu's touching words, Lin Qingzhu's eyes turned red and she was deeply moved.
This message carries the Master’s expectations for her. How could she let the Master down?
"Master, I will remember this."
Lin Qingzhu gritted her teeth, holding back the tears in her eyes and spoke in a firm tone.
