Daoyuan and the others remained silent, not uttering a single word.
They all simultaneously released their almost tangible divine senses, forming an invisible net that completely enveloped the one hundred people who had successfully passed the trial.
These divine senses, as if possessing sentience, swiftly swept over each person, as if conducting a meticulous examination.
A moment later, they all withdrew their consciousness as quickly as the tide.
Immediately afterwards, Dao Yuan's deep gaze slowly fell upon the five peak masters and nine elders, and then he slowly opened his mouth and said softly, "Everyone, I will make my choice first. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
At this moment, Chu Tianhe, the peak master of Fire Cloud Peak, curled his lip in disdain and let out a cold snort, saying, "Sect Master, I disagree! Even if you are the sect master, why should you be the first to make the choice?"
This Chu Tianhe was the old man in green robes whom Qin Feng had recognized at a glance as having extraordinary strength.
Zang Yunfeng's peak master, Li Chenfeng, immediately echoed, "What Tianhe said makes a lot of sense, and I also firmly disagree!"
Subsequently, the two peak masters of Cangyun Peak and Lianyun Peak, as well as the nine elders, all expressed their opinions, disagreeing with Daoyuan's decision to make the selection first.
Dao Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes. He then looked at Su Liyue, the peak master of Qingyun Peak, a gentle smile on his face, and asked softly, "Junior Sister Su, what about you?"
Su Liyue is a peerless beauty whose strength is on par with Chu Tianhe.
Her delicate eyebrows, like a crescent moon, arched slightly, and her lips curved upwards in a gentle smile, like the most radiant flower blooming in spring.
That smile held a hint of cunning, as if it concealed endless secrets.
"Senior Brother Daoyuan, may I choose first? I solemnly promise you that I will only choose one person!"
Su Liyue's voice was clear and melodious, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, echoing in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing Su Liyue's words, a look of surprise flashed in Daoyuan's eyes.
It should be noted that although Qingyun Peak is one of the five peaks of the Kaoshan Sect, it only has one peak master, Su Liyue, and has no disciples.
In the past, Su Liyue would come to observe every trial tournament, but she never took the initiative to choose anyone.
Now, she has actually considered taking on a disciple, which really surprised Daoyuan.
“Since Junior Sister Su has decided to take on a disciple, then you can choose first!” Dao Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes full of encouragement and trust. “Please feel free to choose; whatever you like, you can take it!”
"I believe that the four peak masters and nine elders will not have any objections."
Upon hearing Dao Yuan's words, Chu Tianhe and the others spoke up one after another, agreeing to let Su Liyue choose first, and without any limit on the number of people.
Su Liyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an elegant smile, a smile that bloomed like the most beautiful flower in spring. She said softly, "Then thank you all, senior brothers."
After she finished speaking, her slender and agile figure flashed like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Qin Feng and the others amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
Fu Rang and the others looked at Su Liyue, who suddenly appeared in front of them, with surprise on their faces and disbelief in their eyes.
Immediately, their eyes lit up with anticipation, a light so intense and bright it seemed to ignite the entire sky. They eagerly awaited being chosen by the highly respected Peak Master of Qingyun Peak.
You should know that the five peak masters are second only to the sect master Daoyuan in the Backing Mountain Sect!
If one is fortunate enough to become Su Liyue's personal disciple, it will undoubtedly be a meteoric rise, a soaring to new heights, and a bright future awaits.
However, when Su Liyue's clear, autumn-water-like eyes slowly swept over everyone, she seemed to completely ignore Fu Rang and the others, treating them as if they were invisible.
Su Liyue's gaze was fixed on Qin Feng and Xiao Lin, her eyes containing an indescribable depth of meaning.
But she didn't say a word; she just quietly and attentively observed the two of them.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a faint sense of helplessness.
If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that Su Liyue has taken a liking to Xiao Lin?
Could it be that this woman actually saw through the mysterious and unpredictable Chaos Demon God Body hidden within Xiao Lin?
If that's really the case, then it's going to be quite troublesome!
When Fu Rang and the others saw Su Liyue's actions, they all assumed that she had taken a liking to Qin Feng and his son. A complex mix of emotions welled up in their hearts, including envy for Qin Feng and his son, and disappointment at not being chosen themselves.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of resentment and disappointment.
"Are you father and son?" Su Liyue finally spoke slowly on her delicate face.
Her eyes, as bright as stars, shimmered slightly, carrying an unfathomable emotion as she quietly gazed at Qin Feng before her.
As if trying to discern something from Qin Feng's face, the doubt and surprise in his eyes were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Yes!"
Su Liyue's clear, autumn-water-like eyes were fixed on Qin Feng's slightly resolute face, as if trying to see through his features to his innermost thoughts, and she stared at him for quite a while.
Then, she slightly raised her chin and slowly spoke again, "I want to take your son as my apprentice. Do you have any objections?"
Her tone remained calm, like a clear mountain spring, pure and serene, yet containing an unwavering resolve and an air of absolute certainty.
Qin Feng naturally didn't want to agree, but given the current situation, if he disagreed, he would definitely anger Su Liyue.
Just as Qin Feng was hesitating, Xiao Lin spoke up. "I can agree to your request, but you must agree to one condition!"
Su Liyue was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Xiao Lin with a smile and said, "What are your conditions? Tell me first!"
Xiao Lin pointed at Qin Feng, Lan Yingying, and Fu Rang and the others, and said decisively, "I want them all with me!"
"You can refuse to take them as apprentices, but you must agree to my conditions!"
Lan Yingying and Fu Rang were stunned. They hadn't expected Xiao Lin to make such a request to Su Liyue, and they were all touched.
Su Liyue looked at Xiao Lin with some surprise and said, "I really didn't expect you, little guy, to be so assertive!"
"Okay, I agree to your request!"
"However, I'll pass on this little girl!"
