Chapter 62 Inner Disciple Conference

“Ahem…”

Luo Xuyou patted Nan Wang's back to comfort him, and said, "I know you are very excited, but don't get excited yet, just listen to me slowly!"

Nanwang: “…”

To be honest, he still has no real sense that he has become a true disciple.

After coming out of Panlong Palace, he never told anyone except Du Xueling that he had become a true disciple.

He never told any of them, whether it was Lingzhi, his second senior brother, or the two good friends with whom he played cards and discussed philosophy every day.

He himself knew that his behavior was undoubtedly covering his ears and stealing the bell, but apart from covering his ears and stealing the bell, he really couldn't think of any other way.

Ever since he came out of Panlong Palace that day, Nanwang's heart would beat faster every time he heard words related to the number "four".

And now, Nanwang heard the four characters "Fourth True Teaching" directly from Luo Xuyou's mouth. Not only was his heart beating wildly with fear, but he also felt that the storage bag seemed to be slightly hot.

After all, the fourth true disciple's true disciple card is lying in his storage bag at this moment.

Luo Xuyou didn't notice Nan Wang's abnormality at all, and was still chattering about the "big gossip" that had been circulating in the entire sect in the past two days.

The inner sect elders were of high status, and were all top monks who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. Each of them had an aura of maturity and stability, and were normally awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring without even getting angry. In fact, gossip about them was not that easy to spread.

For the disciples in Qingyun Sect, the true disciples who are also disciples are the gossip stars in the sect. Matters related to the true disciples have always been the things that people care about and are most interested in.

Now, a new true teaching is about to appear, and every disciple with a gossipy heart is excited and tries every possible way to find out the relevant news.

After some inquiries, everyone seemed to agree that Yu Hui of Qi Zong was definitely the fourth true disciple.

The more Nan Wang listened to Luo Xuyou's words, the more complicated his mood became, and the more uneasy he felt.

He pinched his philtrum to stay awake and asked again, "Who is this Yu Hui? We are from the same school, so why have I never heard of his name?"

Seeing that Nanwang was really curious, Luo Xuyou introduced him:

"Senior Brother Yu Hui is the eldest son of the elder of the Weapon Sect. The elder originally had two children, but the second child unfortunately died in the secret realm, leaving only Senior Brother Yu Hui as the only son. Senior Brother Yu Hui is very hardworking, having broken through the foundation-building stage at a young age, and is also very talented in refining weapons. There was a rumor that if the fifth sister had not appeared out of nowhere, Senior Brother Yu Hui would have been chosen as the true disciple."

However, it would have been better if Luo Xuyou had not introduced him. After he introduced him, Nan Wang's face became even uglier.

It's just as ugly as eating shit.

To be fair, if there really was someone who could replace him and become the fourth true disciple, Nan Wang would actually be quite happy.

But, the son of the elder of Qi Sect, Yu Hui?

This person is no longer just an ordinary passerby, but a higher level one - a cannon fodder villain.

Yu Hui's name was indeed not mentioned in the original novel, but he was mentioned as the son of the elder of Qi Sect.

The elder of Qi Sect wanted to support his own son, so he tried his best to suppress the fifth junior sister Lingzhi who was also in Qi Sect.

There is only this random villain who doesn't even have a name in the original novel. How can he be the true hero?

Nan Wang gave a bitter smile, his heart and eyes filled with despair.

Half a month later, the elders announced the convening of a meeting of inner disciples.

In addition to the inner sect elders, true disciples and inner sect disciples, those attending the conference also included outer sect elders and prospective inner sect disciples.

The so-called quasi-inner sect refers to the outer sect disciples who have already achieved ordinary Qi-refining cultivation. These disciples have already stepped into the inner sect with both feet. As long as they pass the disciple-accepting ceremony, they can choose the branch sect they want to enter.

It has been several years since the last disciple-recruiting ceremony. During these years, four people have broken through to the Qi refining level, three of whom are Nan Wang and his friends.

The second senior brother raised his hand lightly, refined a few pills, and achieved three-quarters of the quasi-inner sect of the entire outer sect.

However, compared to the unattainable and rare second senior brother of Qingyun Sect, the situation of Nanwang and others made the outer disciples more jealous.

On the eve of the conference, Nanwang and his friends gathered together for the last time to discuss the Dao.

Nan Wang was not in a good state of mind. Several times he became distracted while playing cards and no one knew what he was thinking.

Luo Xuyou couldn't stand it anymore and complained: "I said, is it necessary for you to be so nervous? You are not the only one here, everyone is here!"

Yuan He said objectively: "Although tomorrow is also the day we join the branch sect, we are not the main characters. It is a small matter for an elder to accept a disciple, but it is a big matter for an immortal to accept a disciple. We just need to go through the process."

Luo Xuyou sighed, "Alas, I finally broke through the Qi Refining stage and attended the disciple-recruiting ceremony, but in the end I'm not the protagonist. Who could have thought of this?"

Yuan He comforted him: "These are all external things. People who practice Taoism should focus on their realm of cultivation. Brother Luo, don't be obsessed with those vain things."

Luo Xuyou nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, that's what I said."

Nan Wang's hands were shaking as he held the cards, and his mood was extremely confused.

He may not be able to escape from anything, big or small.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen tomorrow...

Luo Xuyou said: "This is the first time for you two to see the Immortal Master accepting disciples. It was a grand ceremony. Let me tell you..."

"Brother Luo!" Nan Wang really didn't want the two to continue discussing the matter of the Fourth True Transmission, so he changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which branch sect have you decided to join?"

Luo Xuyou looked at him in confusion: "Do you even need to ask this? Can we still be separated?"

Yuan He also analyzed the situation objectively: "I don't have a fire spirit root, nor do I have a family background that is strong enough to capture exotic fire for me. I don't think I'm suitable to join the Dan Sect or the Qi Sect. The Zhen Sect's requirements for physical training are too high. The Jian Sect is indeed more suitable for me."

Nanwang: “…嘤.”

Luo Xuyou noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Nan Wang put his hands up to cover his face: "These are, these are tears of excitement."

All his friends wanted to join the Sword Sect, but he couldn't.

Luo Xuyou said happily: "Brothers, we will walk together for life! When we reach the Sword Sect, we will discuss the Dao together!"

Yuan He nodded slightly.

Nanwang: “Wuwuwu——”

His sword master!

His senior sister!

His lineage!

His good brother!

Wuwuwu——

…

Soon it was the day of the conference.

The Qingyun Palace was filled with applause.

The reason was simple, because there was a person who shouldn't be sitting in the position of a true disciple -

Fifth Junior Sister, Lingzhi.

Except for a very few people who knew the inside story, everyone else was stunned.

"Is this the Fifth Junior Sister? Am I seeing things?"

"No, what does this mean?"

"I've been to all the clan tombs. Is this a hoax? Is this a hoax?"

"Bah! He's fine! Who on earth spread the news?"

"Fifth Junior Sister is not dead, then the Qi Sect has the true teachings, then Senior Brother Yu Hui..."

"It's not right. It's not right."

Everyone was talking about it, especially the disciples of Qi Zong, who were all in disbelief to the extreme.

The true disciples still sit in order.

And there was indeed an empty seat between Zhan Chenming and Lingzhi.

In the past, when a seat was empty, the spiritual tea, spiritual wine and spiritual fruit placed in front of the seat would also remain empty, because no one would sit in the seat and it would be a waste to leave it empty.

But today was different from the past. On the small table in front of the Fourth True Disciple's seat were placed the same spiritual tea and spiritual fruits as those of the other True Disciple disciples.

The slight change indicates that someone will fill this seat that has been vacant for many years today.

"Alas, just because the fourth brother can't drink, we don't even prepare spiritual wine. It's okay once, but from now on... we won't prepare anything at all, right?"

Zhan Chenming had no spiritual wine to drink and could only gnaw on spiritual fruits with a crunching sound. His mood was visibly depressed.

Lingzhi was also in a bad mood. She was chewing the spiritual fruit angrily, making a crunching sound:

"My senior brother is so abominable. He didn't even inform me of such a big thing in advance. Am I still his favorite junior sister?"

Click, click, click, click, click, click.

"Are you two done yet? If you want to complain, go find someone to complain to. Why are you trying to show off here?"

Chu Songping had been busy for several days taking care of the injury of the Danzong elder, and he was already troubled and upset. Now seeing these two funny guys chewing the spiritual fruits to make symphony, he felt even more confused.

"Second Senior Brother, please forget it. Didn't your bottle of Immortal Grade Nine-Transformation Resurrection Pill not get you even a single word of truth?"

Lingzhi lay down on the table, his eyes passing through the tall Zhan Chenming and falling on Chu Songping's face.

She was in a very bad mood today, and anyone who came would be kicked, even Chu Songping.

"you--"

Chu Songping's face turned red due to the provocation, and the yellow sand gradually gathered around him, which was the end ready to move.

The spiritual branches are not afraid at all, and the thousand flower bells ring without wind.

Zhan Chenming, who was caught in the middle, hesitated for a moment, and then -

Crack, crack, crack.

“Ahem.”

At the critical moment, it was Du Xueling who spoke up and interrupted the internal strife among the true disciples:

"One by one, what a sight!"

"snort."

“A little bit.”

"Crack, crack, crack."

When the true disciples were talking, those disciples who were close by could hear a few words, but people like Nanwang could not hear a single word.

There was no other way. In such occasions, seats were arranged according to the level of cultivation. People like Nan Wang, who had just stepped into the threshold of refining Qi, could only sit in the very back row and eat dust.

However, although I couldn't hear the sound, I could still see the picture clearly.

Luo Xuyou and Yuan He were not fools. The moment they saw the spiritual branch, Luo Xuyou reacted immediately and looked at Nanwang suspiciously:

"You already knew that Fifth Sister was still alive, right?"

"Brother Luo, what are you talking about? Haha, how could that be possible? How could I possibly know?"

Nanwang explained stubbornly, his smile was extremely stiff:

"I just found out that Fifth Junior Sister is still alive. This is such a great joy!"

Luo Xuyou rolled his eyes to the sky.

Yuan He said, "Brother Nan, has anyone ever told you that you are not good at lying?"

“…”

Nanwang lowered his head in shame and pretended to be a quail.

His face turned red with shame, and he thought angrily:

[What's wrong with not being good at lying? This shows that I am an honest and good person! ]

[What Qingyun Sect lacks most is honest and kind people like me! ]
