But what about now?
"This kid is so lucky."
"Yeah, this guy is quite ruthless. He just knocked the little girl he knew off the ring."
"The second place winner can enter the inner gate. I don't know if he will have such bad luck in the future."
Luo Jianqing took all these mutterings into his ears, smiling faintly without saying a word. Xie Zizhuo, who was standing beside him, had already slumped in his chair in frustration, saying listlessly, "Heaven is unfair, Heaven is truly so unfair. I, Xie Zizhuo, have never heard of such luck in my life. Heaven is unfair!"
Luo Jianqing chuckled and said calmly, "Junior brother, the way of heaven has never been fair."
Xie Zizhuo had only casually remarked, but unexpectedly, he received an answer from Luo Jianqing. He looked up at his senior brother, and when he saw his face, he couldn't help but lose his focus for a moment. Then, he saw Luo Jianqing give a bitter smile and said, "If Heaven is unfair, then let's make it fair. Junior brother, we cultivate ourselves, not Heaven. Do you understand this?"
After being stunned for a moment, Xie Zizhuo nodded respectfully, no longer showing the casual and frivolous look he had just shown: "Yes."
The competition among the peaks ended here.
The top six in the competition were directly promoted to inner disciples, while the rest were outer disciples. The top three could choose the sect they wished to join, starting with the first place. The first-place disciple, born into an aristocratic family and possessing a first-class physique, chose Cangshuang Peak, home to the headmaster of Mount Taihua. He was taken away by a direct disciple from Cangshuang Peak who was present.
Next is Li Xiuchen.
Luo Jianqing stood in the center of the platform, his handsome face calm and serene. He spoke in a calm tone, "In the past ten days, a disciple should have told you about the basic situation of our Taihua Mountain. Now that you have won the second place in the peak competition, you can choose from the six peaks of Taihua Mountain. Which one will you choose?"
Unlike the disciple who ranked first, no one in the audience said a word after Luo Jianqing finished speaking.
The brothers and sisters sent by the Six Peaks to greet the new disciple fell silent, staring at Li Xiuchen with strange eyes. They didn't particularly like this weak junior brother. Who wouldn't want to improve their own strength? What was the point of taking this kid back? Could he ever have the same good luck as today?
This situation was completely different from his previous life, when everyone was clamoring for Li Xiuchen, but now no one was interested. Luo Jianqing looked at Li Xiuchen calmly, his expression neither sad nor happy, like a god above the frosty sky, his aura overwhelming and oppressive.
However, just like in his previous life, Li Xiuchen bowed slightly and said solemnly, "Brother, I heard that Taihua Mountain has seven peaks. Why did you ask me to choose from six peaks?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Luo Jianqing's heart was already icy cold, but he smiled gently and said, "Yuxiao Peak, where I am, never accepts disciples. I am the only one, so you can choose from the other six peaks."
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Li Xiuchen's eyes. He feigned composure and continued, "Brother, I want to enter Yuxiao Peak. Venerable Xuanlingzi is unrivaled in the world, single-handedly fighting against demon cultivators. He is a role model for our generation of immortal cultivators. To be honest, brother, I admire you very much. I came to Taihua Mountain specifically to become your disciple. Even if it means being a menial disciple, I am willing to do that."
At this time in his previous life, Luo Jianqing was so angry that the spiritual power in his body was rioting, and he almost knocked the boy to death with a flick of his sleeve.
He had been extremely well-mannered and patient throughout his life, but his only real weakness was that person. Li Xiuchen had touched that very spot, and he couldn't help but lash out, injuring Li Xiuchen. Then, that person, who never left the mountain gate, actually left Yuxiao Peak himself, brought Li Xiuchen back for treatment, and told him in a cold voice, "Jianqing, from now on, he's your junior apprentice."
In his previous life, he was framed countless times by Li Xiuchen, but there was only one thing Li Xiuchen was not wrong about.
He hated Li Xiuchen. He hated that Li Xiuchen had also become that person's disciple, taking away the position that belonged to him.
The past flashed by like a cloud. Luo Jianqing lowered his head to look at Li Xiuchen, only to see him looking at him with a hint of fear, but also with a hint of anticipation, as if waiting for something. However, this time, Luo Jianqing sighed deeply, his nails dug into his palms, hidden under his wide sleeves. He smiled gently and said, "Yuxiao Peak never accepts any disciples. Junior Brother, please choose another one."
Li Xiuchen was stunned for a moment.
He had been waiting for Luo Jianqing to attack him, and then Xuan Lingzi would come out to smooth things over for Luo Jianqing and take him back to Yuxiao Peak as his disciple. Why hadn't Luo Jianqing attacked him this time? Had his time in the book really changed so much?
After waiting for a while, Li Xiuchen remained uncertain and did not speak.
He didn't say anything, so Luo Jianqing didn't say anything either, waiting patiently. Jie Zizhuo, who was standing beside him, became impatient. "If you can't make up your mind, just go to the side. The third-place girl, I see you have good aptitude. Do you want to go to Haoming Peak with me? Our Haoming Peak is the most beautiful place in Taihua Mountain, and it's the most suitable place for a lovely girl like you..."
Li Xiuchen stood there motionless until the other five disciples in the top six had chosen their respective mountain gates. When Liu Xiaoxiao was accepted into the sect by the Qinglan Peak disciples, she hesitated for a moment before saying to Li Xiuchen, "Brother Chen, Qinglan Peak is great. Do you want to come with me?"
Li Xiuchen answered her with a firm voice: "I wish to become a disciple of Venerable Xuan Lingzi."
