Chapter 062 Disciple
In mid-air, a light cloud was flying rapidly towards the top of Mount Tai under Qiao Ji's control.
Standing on the cloud were the chairman and secretary Ye Caiying who were planting flowers. Originally, Ye Caiying was not qualified to come, but he had been in charge of related matters, so he made an exception and came along. In addition, there is the protagonist Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan, who comes as a relative.
They are now rushing to the Taimiao Hall to respond to the Dragon King's call.
With the assistance of the Nascent Soul cultivator, the group reached their destination in less than two minutes.
Qiao Ji stopped at the small square at the corner of the last staircase, put the people down and said, "Okay, I can only send you here. You have to walk the last part of the journey by yourselves."
Several people understood Qiao Ji's difficulties. As a ghost cultivator whose attributes were opposite to those of the Dragon King, it was already unexpected that she would help them up, so they had no objection to this arrangement. It's only about the height of one floor, and it won't take much time to climb up by yourself.
Fearing that Qiao Ji would feel uncomfortable staying here, the chairman took the initiative to say to her: "Thank you, senior. We can do it ourselves from now on. Senior, please go and do your own thing."
Qiao Ji nodded, without saying anything else, turned around, and left at a speed several times faster than when she came up.
After watching her leave, the few of them began to complete the last leg of the journey under the leadership of the chairman.
The chairman led the way at a moderate pace, and the others followed him one step behind.
Chu Yi pressed tightly against Gu Jiayan, holding onto his sleeves tightly with both hands. Because he was holding on too tightly, veins popped out. Although her expression was relatively calm, everyone could feel her nervousness and worry.
The meeting with Long Jun was about to begin. The chairman was afraid that Chu Yi would be too nervous and impolite, so he turned his head and chatted with her in a casual tone to ease her mood: "Xiao Yi, don't be nervous. Just follow Long Jun's arrangements. Long Jun is very kind."
It is normal for a little girl who has lived an ordinary life for more than 20 years to be nervous and afraid when she suddenly follows the national leader to meet higher-level beings. The Chairman did not think that Chu Yi was hopeless because of this. Even he himself was very nervous when he first talked to Long Jun, and even lost the ability to speak for half a minute.
So when he saw her open her mouth but no sound came out, he just smiled at her gently and said, "Although Long Jun didn't tell me the specific situation, I can feel that it is a very good thing."
The Chairman was always approachable, and his attitude, like that of an elder, relaxed Chu Yi's tense nerves. After blinking a few times, she finally forced a smile and replied, "Well, I'm not afraid of the Chairman. I'm just very excited to think that I have met the Chairman and will meet Long Jun later."
Although his smile was still stiff and his voice was a little trembling and small, he finally regained some composure.
"Hahaha, I'm just an ordinary old man, there's no need to get excited when you see me."
In response to Chu Yi's compliment, the Chairman laughed heartily and spoke modestly at the same time.
No one took the Chairman's modesty seriously, and of course no one refuted it without any tact.
Soon, the short distance was completed with everyone chatting in tacit understanding. The gate of the Taimiao Hall was right in front of them. As long as they pushed open the door, they would be able to see the immortal king meditating in the center of the hall.
At this point, everyone's emotions calmed down. They adjusted their attire and expressions tacitly, looked at each other, checked each other to make sure there were no problems, and then the chairman stepped forward and knocked on the exquisite wooden door in front of them.
After the standard three knocks, without making them wait any longer, the wooden door opened silently inwards.
At the same time, the Dragon Lord's voice, as pleasant as the sound of a jade chime, rang in everyone's ears: "Come in."
Under the Dragon Lord's gaze, the few people did not dare to make any other moves and entered the hall with a respectful attitude.
Although the main hall of the Taimiao was large, the Dragon King was sitting in meditation on auspicious clouds in the middle of the room, so after walking a few steps, they stood in front of the Dragon King.
Facing Taiyi Zhenxian, only the chairman was qualified to speak to Long Jun. He bowed slightly to show his respect, and then said gently: "Good day, Your Highness Long Jun. I have brought the girl here as per your request."
As he spoke, the Chairman slightly turned sideways to let Chu Yi behind him pass.
"This girl's name is Chu Yi. The test results are just as Long Jun said. She does not have any spiritual roots."
Chu Yi looked up at Long Jun curiously. After meeting Long Jun's smiling eyes, he pursed his lips embarrassedly and lowered his eyelashes.
In the eyes of others, she was showing nervousness, but only Chu Yi and the invisible clone standing next to Long Jun knew that she was just too lazy to act.
From the moment she followed Gu Jiayan out of the house, Chu Yi had been acting. Her every move, every word, every micro-expression was showing how an ordinary girl should react when faced with these things.
But she is not really a drama fanatic who is crazy about drama. She is too lazy to "act" in her daily social life, let alone pretend all the way.
In fact, she was already a little impatient when she was at the foot of the mountain just now, but there was nothing she could do; she had to act as she had to act. Qiao Ji's move was her struggle to shorten the time. Riding on Qiao Ji's Qingyun was much faster than following the Chairman up the mountain in a car.
Now we have finally reached the most critical shot of this scene. Chu Yi doesn't want to do anything unnecessary and would speed up the progress as much as possible.
With the help of the celebrity suit, her slightly perfunctory performance did not reveal any flaws. The chairman, Ye Caiying, and Gu Jiayan, who had been with her day and night, did not notice any problems. In order not to embarrass her, the chairman even spoke up and took over the conversation: "Your Highness Long Jun, please help us solve our doubts. What is the problem with Xiaoyi's spiritual roots?"
Could it be that Chu Yi has the blood of the dragon clan?
Looking at Long Jun who was quite concerned about Chu Yi, the chairman couldn't help but have a somewhat absurd idea in his mind.
It is no wonder that the Chairman has such a wild idea. It is because in the legend, another attribute of the dragon clan is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The saying "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different" perfectly reflects this attribute of the dragon clan.
Long Jun glanced at the Chairman, wondering if he had noticed that the current leader of a country actually had such speculation in his heart. His eyes casually passed over the chairman and Long Jun still focused his attention on Chu Yi. He stretched out his hand and waved to her, asking her to come to him.
Chu Yi hesitated for a second or two, but still walked over slowly and stopped when he was less than one step away from Long Jun.
After she looked at him with a questioning look, Long Jun gently placed his slender finger on her forehead.
The fingertips, feeling the gentle touch, stayed on Chu Yi's forehead for two seconds before being retracted. She couldn't help but raise her hands and cover her forehead.
Seeing her cute behavior, the holy and noble Dragon King couldn't help but smile. Having gotten the result he wanted, he didn't explain to the three anxiously waiting chairmen, but asked Chu Yi first: "Are you willing to become my disciple?"
"Brother, disciple??!!"
"Your Highness the Dragon Lord?!"
"?!!!"
Hearing this earth-shattering statement, several people present showed expressions of extreme shock at the same time, and some even couldn't help but scream in front of Long Jun.
They never imagined that Chu Yi's physique, which seemed like a spiritual body, would make an immortal at the Taiyi True Immortal level couldn't help but want to take him in as a disciple, and he didn't even notify him but solicited his opinion.
This was really beyond their expectations.
I don’t know what’s so special about Chu Yi’s physique. Is it more powerful than Gu Jiayan’s five elements of top-grade spiritual roots?
Faced with this huge opportunity that fell from the sky, Chu Yi was a little panicked. She subconsciously looked back at Gu Jiayan, and then realized that she needed to make the decision herself, so she turned her head back immediately.
However, in those few short seconds, it was enough for Chu Yi to see the support in Gu Jiayan's eyes. She knew that was not supporting her to agree to Long Jun, but telling her "no matter what decision you make, I support you." He was making it clear to Chu Yi that it was okay even if she wanted to reject Long Jun, he would stand by her.
This was of course also acted out by Chu Yi, but after seeing Gu Jiayan's performance, Chu Yi admitted that he was deeply moved. The luckiest thing in her life is to have a family around her who always cares about her and respects all her choices.
She turned her back to the crowd and smiled brilliantly under the gratified gaze of Long Jun. She did not hide her excitement and answered loudly: "I am very willing!"
After saying that, she wanted to kneel down, but the Dragon Lord did not let her kneel down. When she bent down, he used a spell to hold her body back, and said gently: "It's good that you agree. This is not the ancient times, and the customs are different. You don't have to stick to these etiquettes."
"Yes, Master~"
After acknowledging the master-disciple relationship, Chu Yi was no longer nervous. She returned to her usual playfulness and liveliness, with the tail tones of her replies swirling with joy.
After everything was settled, Long Jun explained to the chairman and others: "Xiao Yi is a rare Primordial Body. On the surface, she is a talentless Absolute Spirit Body, but in fact, she is a super cultivation physique that can absorb all energy. You can also understand this as a kind of Chaos Spirit Root."
"Primordial Body? Primordial Chaos Spiritual Root?"
"Can it absorb energy of all attributes?"
"Super cultivation physique?"
The three people blankly repeated the words explained by Long Jun, as if they wanted to understand the specific meaning through this method.
However, these terms are actually very easy to understand. After a few turns of their minds, the people finally understood them. Then they couldn't help but stare at Chu Yi with horror.
If it was such an excellent talent, it was understandable that Taiyi Zhenxian would be interested in him.
But in this case, Chu Yi will definitely not be able to join the Dragon Group, the chairman thought regretfully.
As a true disciple of Taiyi Zhenxian, Chu Yi had better not join any side. The power of their official flower-growing department is already strong enough. Apart from Qiao Ji and Liu Jimeng, all the people with outstanding talents in the past few days have been recruited by them, including Gu Jiayan, Chu Yi's relative.
If they insist on taking Chu Yi into their pocket, they will probably face a joint attack from various forces.
The Dragon King was too powerful. Before he accepted disciples, he was a high and mighty god that everyone could only look up to. But after having a direct disciple, as long as there is an organization that can control Chu Yi, he can be a "thug" who can be moved.
Perhaps it is disrespectful to describe the Dragon King like this, but this is indeed a foreseeable situation.
This 'reality' is something that no force except them wants to see. At present, they already have enough advantages, so Chu Yi will just let it go.
After resolving Chu Yi's issue, Long Jun turned his attention to Gu Jiayan.
Bathed in the extremely penetrating gaze of Long Jun, Gu Jiayan couldn't help but stiffen his body. His understanding of cultivation has always been just theory, with no practical experience. So he didn't know whether a cultivator of Long Jun's level could see through the secrets in him. If he did, what would Long Jun think of him.
Gu Jiayan didn't think that a Taiyi True Immortal like Long Jun would covet anything on him, but the problem was that at the ceremony two days ago, he did something that might anger Long Jun.
Now I hope that even if Lord Long sees through it, he will reveal it for Chu Yi’s sake.
Otherwise, his ambitions would have no chance of being realized.
