How does it feel to be wanted as a disciple by two masters of high status?
Hua Shi was a little helpless, but he still couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart. Although he didn't show anything special, he was able to attract the attention of two masters. In his opinion, this must be because he was so gifted that he couldn't even hide it.
But how does it feel to be wanted as a disciple by four masters at the same time?
Hua Shi is now very confused. He has no idea what is happening and why they all chose him and even seem to be planning to fight.
While he was standing there in a daze, Yi Zhan, who had just been knocked away by Xuan Shuzhi's light palm, had already rushed back and attacked Xuan Shuzhi mercilessly. However, Xuan Shuzhi seemed to have been prepared and pulled Hua Shi to the side, avoiding the man's attack. He was very skilled in this action, as if he had done it thousands of times and knew Yi Zhan's skills and moves like the back of his hand.
Yi Zhan's attack was easily dodged, but he didn't seem angry at all. He slowly withdrew his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Xuan Shuzhi: "Are you trying to steal my people?"
Xuan Shuzhi was calm and collected: "Why is he your man?"
Before Yi Zhan could say anything, Lu Yao, who was standing next to him, came over with a wine jug and said drunkenly, "Yeah, how come he's yours?"
Yi Zhan looked a little strange: "Are you speaking for him?"
Lu Yao shook his head and pointed at Hua Shi, saying with a smile: "What I mean is, that's my man."
Yi Zhan was slightly angry: "You!"
The three of them talked for a long time, and it was obvious that they had known each other for many years. Hua Shi looked confused. He glanced at Ji Yuan on the other end, but he ignored them at all, as if he was ashamed to be associated with them. He kept a distance from them and stood there.
Hua Shi stared at them talking for a long time, and finally got around to interrupting them and saying, "Um..."
As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes returned to him. Yi Zhan and Lu Yao curled their lips but said nothing. Xuan Shuzhi said, "That's right. After all, it's you who chooses the master. Do you have any questions?"
Hua Shi opened his mouth, his mind slightly confused. He did not speak immediately, but quickly asked the system: "What should I do! Who should I choose among these people! System, please speak!"
The system remained silent and did not respond to his question. He stood there waiting for a long time, and the people in front of him stared at him for a long time. After a long while, he finally heard the system say, "It's up to the host to decide. These four people are all good candidates to be masters."
Hua Shi couldn't help but feel even more helpless after hearing this, but he changed his mind and seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly asked: "Did you laugh just now?"
Fang Wei was silent.
Hua Shi immediately shouted in his mind: "You did laugh just now, didn't you? You can laugh? It seems that you are not as unkind as before!"
Fang Wei knew that he had accidentally revealed his emotions just now. His current identity would easily expose himself, so he did not explain. He just lowered his voice and restored his previous emotionless voice, and reminded: "Host, please choose a master as soon as possible."
Thinking back to the present, Hua Shi's face suddenly became bitter again. It was not that he was unwilling to choose, but these people looked difficult to deal with. He was afraid that if he chose this person, he would soon be glared at by the others.
He looked at everyone again, and couldn't help but ask an irrelevant question in his heart: "Why did you laugh just now?"
Fang Wei was stunned and didn't say anything.
If Hua Shi hadn't reminded him, he himself would not have noticed that there was a smile in his voice. He just saw familiar people and the long-lost scenes, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, and he didn't expect that he would have the chance to see this scene again.
It's just that they haven't seen each other for a long time. What Fang Wei can't understand is why Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan, who used to have the closest relationship, have become so incompatible now.
No one knew what Fang Wei was thinking at this time. Now in the square, Ji Yuan, Lu Yao, Yi Zhan and Xuan Shuzhi stood on four sides and surrounded Hua Shi, making Hua Shi look like a helpless little pitiful person.
Although this scene was not as lively as when several sect leaders and masters were fighting for Yu Xing and Zhou Li, the identities and strengths of these four people and the status they represent are all extraordinary. The four of them stood here with full momentum, giving the feeling that they each had an army of thousands.
Hua Shi has now recovered a little from the shock, but he was soon followed by frustration. His original plan of keeping a low profile has long become a luxury due to the competition among these big guys. It will probably not be long after today before everyone knows that he was the one who was being fought over by four masters to be accepted as a disciple at the Spirit Transformation Conference. By that time, there will probably be no one in the entire Xuanqing Continent who does not know his name.
It’s not that Hua Shi doesn’t want to be famous, but when he thinks about what he might encounter after becoming famous, he can’t help but feel despair.
In the future, when encountering matters of slaying demons and exterminating monsters, he would definitely be the first among the young disciples to take the lead. If someone came to challenge the sect, the most famous one would definitely accept the most challenges, not to mention if someone was seeking revenge, the greater the status, the greater the responsibility, and he would not be able to hide. There would also be countless incidents of someone catching him and threatening the big boss...
Hua Shi didn't want to think about it anymore, feeling desperate that the road ahead was bleak.
Fang Wei read his imagination completely: "..."
Even he couldn't help but admire this man's ability to create something out of nothing. In just ten seconds, he had almost thought of all the possible ways in which he might encounter danger in the future.
But even if he didn't want to face it, Hua Shi finally relaxed a little because of the existence of the system. After convincing himself, he finally spoke up to interrupt the confrontation between the four masters beside him and said hesitantly: "Well, let me ask a question."
Xuan Shuzhi smiled and nodded slightly.
Lu Yao and Yi Zhan didn't say anything. They looked at each other strangely for some reason.
Only Ji Yuan seemed eager to get rid of them and immediately said, "Ask quickly."
Hua Shi coughed twice, blinked and asked, "You all want to take me as your apprentice, I have to make a choice, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi responded with a warm smile: "Of course."
After hearing what he said, Hua Shi finally threw out the question he had prepared long ago: "So can I hear each of your reasons for wanting to take me in as your apprentice?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhan immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you testing us?"
Hua Shi shook his head like a rattle and waved his hands, "No, no! It's just that I have to be serious about becoming your disciple, right? Otherwise, I would be irresponsible not only to myself but also to all of you, right?"
Fang Wei was a little surprised by Hua Shi's words.
But soon he heard Hua Shi add in his mind: "Of course it would be best to find out who has the best temper and who has offended the least people, so that it would be safer to practice under whose tutelage."
Fang Wei: “…”
While Hua Shi was thinking about these things, the four people over there looked at each other, and finally Xuan Shuzhi stood up first and said with a smile: "Of course it's because you are a good candidate for training."
Hua Shi pointed at himself and said hesitantly: "Me? Not bad?"
He had no doubts about his talent, but what he didn't understand was that he had never shown his strength from beginning to end. Even when he entered the spiritual realm to sign the contract for the spiritual object, he concealed his tenth-level strength from the other party. And these people in front of him had been fighting for him since before. How did they know that he had talent?
Under Hua Shi's doubtful gaze, Xuan Shuzhi continued, "You are very talented, have solid sword skills, and have cultivated your spiritual sea well. The spiritual objects you have bonded with are not bad. You are upright and interesting. It is naturally the best thing for our Xuanling Pavilion to accept you as a disciple."
Xuan Shuzhi said this with full confidence, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet for a moment.
He didn't understand what he meant, so he turned around to look at the people next to him, and then he noticed Hua Shi's strange expression.
Xuan Shuzhi asked: "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi pointed at himself and asked with eyes wide open: "Are you talking about me?"
Xuan Shuzhi nodded: "Of course it's you. Although I came late and didn't see you showing off your strength in front of others, I know that you must have extraordinary abilities to make them fight for it."
Hua Shi: “…”
He couldn't help but cover his face, and after a pause he corrected himself: "I'm really not a master. My strength is only at the upper level of the second realm, my spiritual sea is only at the fifth level, and the contracted spiritual creature is a sixth-level spiritual creature. There's nothing special about it."
Xuan Shuzhi fell silent, and then he quickly said: "That doesn't mean you don't have talent..."
Hua Shi added: "Also, what I used was not a knife, but a sword."
He spread his hands helplessly and said, "You actually don't even know who I am, and you said you want to take me as your apprentice, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi: “…”
After Hua Shi finished speaking, Yi Zhan beside him couldn't help but burst out laughing. When Xuan Shuzhi gave him a cold glance, he didn't know how to restrain himself. He held his stomach and laughed, "You're killing me. Just tell me straight. You don't even know who this kid is. You just saw that I wanted to take him in as your apprentice, so you wanted to snatch him from me, right? When will you change your temper? You must be thinking so, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi sneered: "So, you know who he is?"
Yi Zhan said confidently: "Of course I don't know, but the person Ji Yuan wants must have some outstanding qualities, so just grab him first no matter what." He turned around and smiled at Hua Shi, and said seriously: "I am much more honest than Xuan Shuzhi, that hypocritical guy. How about becoming my apprentice?"
Hua Shi forced a smile and shook his head quickly.
He then turned his gaze to Ji Yuan, wanting to know what was going on with this guy.
Ji Yuan was silent for a moment, then said truthfully: "Because Lu Yao wants to take you as his disciple."
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment: "So?"
Ji Yuan said in a deep voice: "I won't let him have his wish."
Everyone present was speechless.
Although the reasons given by these people were strange, they were answers after all. After hearing them, Hua Shi's face was completely blank. It turned out that these people wanted to take him in as a disciple, which had nothing to do with his extraordinary talent or his handsome appearance. It was just because of the personal grudges between these people.
He finally turned his gaze back to Lu Yao. Although the answers of the previous few people were strange, Lu Yao was the first person who said that he wanted to take him as his disciple. Hua Shi was indeed curious as to why Lu Yao wanted to take him as his disciple for no reason.
