Ji Yuan, the master of the spiritual path, has never accepted any disciples.
With Ji Yuan's abilities, there were many disciples who wanted to become his disciples over the years. Even many of the sect masters present at this moment had chosen Ji Yuan when they participated in the Spirit Transformation Conference, hoping to become his disciples. However, no matter how talented these disciples were, Ji Yuan never agreed to accept them as his disciples.
Many people have speculated on the reason why Ji Yuan refused to accept disciples, but no matter how they speculated, Ji Yuan never gave a real answer. However, after a thousand years, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus and understood that Ji Yuan would not accept disciples, so no one tried to become Ji Yuan's apprentice anymore.
But now Ji Yuan personally broke this matter and took the initiative to propose to accept Hua Shi as his disciple. Moreover, this person was the disciple that Lu Yao of Fengyu Palace wanted to accept before. This was really unpredictable.
Everyone originally thought that this was surprising enough, but no one could have expected that even more unbelievable things were yet to come.
The young disciple of the Hua family, who was favored by the Spiritual Master Ji Yuan, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Ji Yuan.
Now, not only the people present, but even Ji Yuan, who usually did not show his emotions, narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on Hua Shi.
The surroundings fell into silence again, and no one dared to make a sound and disrupt the atmosphere at the moment.
Only Lu Yao, who had just been rejected in the corner, let out a low laugh.
Ji Yuan looked at the laughing Lu Yao expressionlessly, and then looked back at Hua Shi. He stood up with his hands behind his back and moved closer to Hua Shi. The pressure from his body also moved closer. He said to Hua Shi in a faint voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Hua Shi still stood there, nodding his head in a somewhat innocent manner, yet extremely firm: "Of course."
Ji Yuan asked again: "Why?"
Hua Shi lowered his head and secretly glanced at Ji Yuan in front of him, but did not give an answer.
Of course he had a reason, but he couldn't say it in front of everyone, because it was related to Liu Qishuang who lived a thousand years ago, and also to the secret treasure Huiguangzhu on him.
Fang Wei had roughly guessed the reason why Hua Shi refused to agree at this time. He talked to Hua Shi from his soul and asked, "Is it also because of Liu Qishuang?"
Hua Shi did not hide anything from the system, nor did he need to. He said, "This guy was Liu Qishuang's follower back then, and he is my love rival. Of course I will not be his apprentice."
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to show that he is younger than him. Even if no one knows his feelings for Liu Qishuang, he himself cannot accept it in his heart.
Hua Shi silently expressed his resistance to being Ji Yuan's apprentice. Ji Yuan frowned slightly and was about to speak again, but Lu Yao had already stood up, came to Ji Yuan with a wine pot, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you hear him? He said he didn't want to be your disciple. What are you still doing here? Do you want to kidnap him? Or hold his head down and make him call you master?"
Ji Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and he turned his shoulder to avoid Lu Yao's action without making a sound, and said softly: "You are not much better than me."
"It's better than a parrot like you." Lu Yao lowered his body with a cold expression and whispered in Ji Yuan's ear, "You haven't accepted a disciple in a thousand years. Now that you heard me say that I want to accept a disciple, you immediately stood up to me and tried to snatch him away. What do you mean?"
Ji Yuan took a half step back and distanced himself from him: "It's meaningless."
Lu Yao did not pursue the matter any further. When he turned around, his sight returned to Hua Shi again: "Although I want to tell you that it is up to you to choose who you want to be your master, but now that this Spirit Master has spoken, it seems that things are not that simple."
He was clearly looking at Hua Shi, but his gaze seemed to pass over him and was looking at another figure in the void.
Hua Shi didn't understand what Lu Yao meant, and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Lu Yao said, "Because you are the one that Spirit Master Ji Yuan likes. Once he opens his mouth, no one from other sects will dare to accept you as a disciple."
Hua Shi's expression changed slightly when he listened to Lu Yao's theory: "How could this be?!" As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and turned his head to look around. People from other sects were all looking at this place, but when they met his gaze, they immediately turned their heads away and refused to meet his gaze.
Hua Shi: “…”
Isn't this a forced sale? The Spiritual Transformation Conference is supposed to be a place where the disciples can choose who they want to become disciples of, but this group of guys clearly didn't give them the choice!
Before Hua Shi could say anything, Lu Yao continued, "So now you only have two choices. Do you want to choose me as your master, or him?"
Lu Yao pointed at Ji Yuan, who had a gloomy face beside him.
Hua Shi: “…”
He looked at Lu Yao, then at Ji Yuan, his expression showing a look of despair.
One is a love rival and the other is a rival. He doesn't want either of them to be his master. But now everyone is staring at him. Although Ji Yuan didn't say anything, his eyes were extremely sharp and his pressure was constantly emanating from him, as if he would be thrown out by Ji Yuan immediately if he said no.
It has to be said that this Spirit Master Ji Yuan has indeed changed a lot compared to many years ago, from a bad-tempered and impulsive teenager to the current Spirit Master who is extremely shrewd and silent. But in some ways, this person is still just as unreasonable.
But if he had to choose between Ji Yuan and Lu Yao as his master, Hua Shi still felt...
He felt so depressed that his heart was almost knotted. He looked at the two people for a long time but couldn't make a decision. No matter who it was, he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body when he thought that he would call them master in the future. He saw that he had become the focus of the crowd. Everyone in the square, whether they were busy or not or just watching the fun, was staring at him. His face was bitter, and he finally decided to hand over the right of choice to the system.
"System, are there any hints for the main quest? Who should I choose?" Hua Shi asked the system for help with a bitter face, and couldn't help but whispered a possibility, "Is it okay if I don't choose?"
Fang Wei was silent.
Although it was somewhat unexpected that Lu Yao and Ji Yuan would say they wanted to accept disciples at the same time, but as Lu Yao said, at this point Hua Shi had no better option. If he wanted to have a good master and be able to enter the sect for formal training, he could only choose one of the two.
Unless someone at this time is not afraid of offending Ji Yuan and stands up to accept Hua Shi.
And Hua Shi also had reasons to become his disciple.
But in fact, Fang Wei believed that whether Hua Shi chose Lu Yao or Ji Yuan as his master, it would be a good choice. Both of them were the people he trusted the most, and Fang Wei also believed that as long as Hua Shi became their disciple, he would receive the best care and be able to receive good training.
Fang Wei was thinking about how to choose between the two. Hua Shi didn't hear his response for a long time, so he couldn't help but urge him again: "System?"
Fang Wei came back to her senses and took the initiative to say: "You still choose..."
He was about to make a decision, but at this moment, there was a commotion in the distance of the square. Hua Shi was concentrating on thinking about the problem, and was almost startled by the sudden noise. He quickly stepped back, raised his eyes and looked at the place where the commotion came from, and asked with wide eyes: "What's going on?!"
It was not only Hua Shi who was frightened. Many other people in the field were also frightened. Some of them even couldn't help but scream loudly and retreated nervously, trying to avoid the possible danger.
However, after the crowd waited for a while, the expected danger did not come.
A black shadow suddenly rushed towards Hua Shi from the commotion. Hua Shi was stunned and had almost no time to dodge before the thing landed heavily at his feet.
Suddenly, a huge hole was smashed into the ground, and rubble raised up dust that filled the surroundings. Hua Shi, who was closest to the hole, was surrounded by the dust and could not help but choke and cough.
"What's going on?" Hua Shi asked while coughing and fanning the thick smoke in front of him, but this action was obviously useless.
There seemed to be a figure in the hole in the thick smoke, slowly crawling up on the ground.
Hua Shi stared at the figure, trying to determine who the other person was, but Ji Yuan and Lu Yao, who were standing with their hands behind their backs not far away, did not seem surprised by the man's sudden appearance, as if they already knew his identity.
"Who is this guy?" Hua Shi murmured to the system. He could vaguely make out that the other person seemed to be wearing a dirty gray coat with some holes in it.
While Hua Shi was asking the question, Fang Wei was also looking at that person.
It turned out to be an old friend.
After many years, Fang Wei thought that his old friends had been affected and either died, were injured or had disappeared, but today he finally met someone familiar again.
The man climbed up from the hole he had created with difficulty, brushed off the dust on his body, shook his head helplessly, and straightened his messy hair. Only then did he finally look like a human being before the smoke and dust cleared. He said to the people in the field, "It seems that I am a little late, but fortunately I didn't miss anything."
As he said this, he turned his head and smiled at Hua Shi beside him, then he hooked his arm around his shoulder and said, "Little guy, I'm Yi Zhan, the master of Po Xue Zhai. I seemed to hear them vying to be your master just now, right?"
Hua Shi opened his mouth and looked at the tall man who suddenly fell from the sky in a daze. He didn't have time to react immediately.
The man who called himself the Master of Poxue Zhai glanced at Ji Yuan and Lu Yao beside him and said with a half-smile, "Do you want to become their apprentice?"
Hua Shi blinked, and this time he reacted quickly and shook his head immediately.
Yi Zhan laughed again, then retracted his finger and pointed at himself: "That's easy, I'll accept you as my disciple."
Hua Shi was really determined this time.
After a while, he hesitated and asked, "What?"
He was obviously just an insignificant guy, and he still couldn't figure out why he was suddenly fought over by Lu Yao of Fengyu Hall and Ji Yuan, the spiritual master, and now there was another person who also came out and was also fighting to take him as a disciple. And this person was the owner of Poxuezhai, who was rumored to be neither a spiritual path nor an evil path, and was now in the limelight.
Why is he so popular that so many big shots are vying to take him as their apprentice?
But before Hua Shi could figure out where Yi Zhan, the owner of Poxue Zhai, came from and why he came to join in the fun, another figure in green rushed into the scene from the place where the commotion had just come from in the distance, and landed gracefully in front of Hua Shi.
This man was tall and slender, wearing a loose robe and belt. His black hair was ankle-length and tied behind his back with a white headband. He tapped his toes lightly on the stone slab, as if he was weightless. At this moment, his eyes briefly passed over Yi Zhan's face, his eyes narrowed slightly with a smile, and then he finally looked at Hua Shi and nodded with satisfaction: "Xuanling Pavilion Xuan Shuzhi, my name."
As he said this, he smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "You don't have to pay attention to Yi Zhan's nonsense. Letting me be your master is the best choice now."
Hua Shi: “…”
