"Depend on!"
Three exclamations were heard in succession in the main peak tower. Jin Nanfeng, the only one who maintained his composure, no longer had the calm expression on his face.
"Wait a moment, let me take a break."
Nie Yanchen held the edge of the table with one hand and his forehead with the other. After taking two deep breaths, he pointed the hand that was supporting his forehead at Tu Nian and said, "Xiao Si just said that the doll is..."
"Spirit beast, Master." Chu Qiurong was still in shock and didn't come back to her senses. She continued blankly.
"Spiritual beast?"
Nie Yanchen's voice instantly rose several notches, "You call that a spirit beast? That's Bai Ze! A divine beast!"
Tu Nian was frightened by his shout and quickly stepped forward to comfort him, saying along his back, "Master, calm down. Don't let anyone else know about this."
Tu Nian struggled for many days about letting Bai Ze into the sect before finally making up his mind to confess to Nie Yanchen today.
What she feared most was that the news would get out and be detrimental to Bai Ze. Also, according to Bo Qiu, Bai Ze was still a youngster. If Nie Yanchen did not agree to let him stay, there would be no more suitable place for him to stay.
Nie Yanchen sighed deeply, his face full of devastation.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Jixue suddenly changed from an unknown organization of about thirty people to a small sect of more than a hundred people. Although there were newly recruited managers to share the affairs, it was indeed difficult to take care of everything when the sect suddenly became busy.
Not to mention that the new disciples were ignorant as they were joining the sect for the first time, the old disciples were also facing so many newcomers for the first time. Both sides had their own constraints, so Nie Yanchen, as the sect leader and master, had to help with the adjustment.
And under Tu Nian's idea, the old disciples also changed from disciples to assistants in various cultivation.
Take Song Chengming for example. He is only in his early twenties, but now he has to teach talisman courses to new disciples together with Nie Yanchen and Jin Nanfeng. The psychological pressure can be imagined.
Therefore, Nie Yanchen had to act as an intimate master, helping all the disciples to relieve their worries, so as to prevent them from being under too much pressure and causing their cultivation to deteriorate and fall into demonic obstacles.
In addition, the Jixue teaching system has not yet stabilized, and Nie Yanchen now has to serve as a teacher of several cultivation subjects, so he basically has no time to rest throughout the day.
In such a difficult environment, he had just finished his morning class and was called by Tu Nian to listen to such psychologically challenging news - who wouldn't collapse?
"We can't let him stay in the sect."
Lifting his hand to push his hair behind his ear, Nie Yanchen lowered his head and said, "After today's classes are finished, Qiu Rong, go see him off."
“Master!”
"How can this be possible?"
As Nie Yanchen said this, Xu Ziqiao and Tu Nian spoke at the same time. Chu Qiurong was also stunned, frowning. He said hesitantly: "This is not good, Master. Even if he is a divine beast, he is just a child."
What's more, they still don't know why this Bai Ze came to Jixue to join the sect. If there is a hidden reason, they so decisively released this Bai Ze who has no ability to protect himself back to the world of immortal cultivation. Isn't that tantamount to pushing him to death?
"A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure."
Nie Yanchen sighed deeply, "The sect really doesn't have the energy to take care of other things lately."
What a sad eight words.
Tu Nian was feeling a little uncomfortable at first, but he immediately fell silent after hearing these eight words. He also grabbed Chu Qiurong who wanted to persuade him again. The other party looked at him doubtfully, but she only shook her head heavily in response.
Kindness is noble, but misplaced, it will only harm both oneself and others. Wasn't the snow in the past destroyed because of the "crime of possessing a treasure"?
At that time, the Jixue family was wealthy and powerful, yet they were still slaughtered. Now that they have finally started over, there is really no room for repeating the same mistakes.
Jin Nanfeng said: "It seems that this is the only way at the moment."
If Jin Nanfeng agrees, it means Xu Ziqiao will follow suit. So it will be useless if Chu Qiurong is the only one who disagrees.
Chu Qiurong could only droop her eyelashes in annoyance, cursed a few times, and after a moment of silence, she added sullenly, "If you must send me off, then go ahead. I won't go."
His words were a bit willful, but no one blamed him. He had just accepted a new disciple, and now he was sending him away just a few days later. How to explain this to the other disciples was secondary. The main issue was the feeling of powerlessness that made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Nie Yanchen raised his eyes and looked around the room, "Who's going then?"
No matter how he looked, everyone in the room kept their heads down and said nothing.
After a while, when Nie Yanchen was about to give in and send the person away, Bo Qiu, who had been sitting silently at the desk, spoke up, "Actually, the Sect Master doesn't necessarily have to send this Bai Ze away."
Although Bo Qiu had been in the sect for a long time, Ji Xue and the others had basically accepted his existence as an idler. However, due to his lack of authority and Bo Qiu himself being too lazy to participate in discussions, whenever he followed Tu Nian somewhere, he would usually avoid occasions where issues were discussed. Even if he was just listening in like today, he would rarely express his opinions.
Therefore, when they heard him speak, several people in the room were a little surprised. However, Nie Yanchen did not think he was rude. Instead, he asked him with interest, "What do you want to say?"
Bo Qiu didn't mind giving due respect to the leader of a sect, especially Tu Nian's teacher. He put away his lazy look and said calmly, "Bai Ze knows everything about humans, ghosts, and all things, and he has the ability to protect them. There are many benefits to staying in the snow."
"Before he reaches adulthood, I can ensure that his identity remains hidden. This way, the Sect Master won't have to worry about being convicted of possessing a treasure."
"real?"
Tu Nian always believed in his words and looked at him in surprise. Bo Qiu looked back, raised his lips and nodded.
But Tu Nianxin, that was because she knew Bo Qiu's background, but the others present didn't know this, and most of them were skeptical about what he said.
Nie Yanchen pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are Xiao Si's friend, I, as your master, shouldn't doubt you. However, since this concerns the safety of the sect, I hope you can be responsible for your words."
Taking his eyes off Tu Nian's cheerful face, Bo Qiu smiled lightly at Nie Yanchen, "Don't worry, even if it's just to stop Ah Nian from crying, I will take care of this matter."
In the end, Nie Yanchen chose to believe Bo Qiu's words. Although it sounded a bit hasty, everyone in the room knew that he actually chose to believe Tu Nian's vision.
After solving the issue of Bai Ze's stay or departure, it was time for the afternoon class. Today's class would be about swordsmanship. Except for Tu Nian, several senior brothers had to follow Nie Yanchen to class.
Tu Nian sent his master and several senior brothers away, and then couldn't wait to turn back and tease Bo Qiu.
"You really do care for your own kind. Last time it was Fengli, and this time it's Bai Ze. It's true that the awareness of powerful beings with high cultivation levels is different."
Bo Qiu chuckled and looked at her with interest, "Do you think I kept Bai Ze just because I'm overly affectionate?"
