The disciples of the Xuyang Sect could not recognize Tong Ruizhen, the fifth elder of the Qingfeng Sect, but that did not mean that He Zhang, the leader of the sect, could not recognize him either.
In fact, when He Zhang heard Tong Ruizhen say, "Smelly old man, you are trying to steal my disciples from me again," He Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to mind.
He was eager to prove that this bad premonition was an illusion, and he couldn't show it too much. He could only suppress the anxiety and anxiety in his heart, stood up, put on a stiff smile, and went up to Tong Ruizhen. Said: "Elder Tong, let me tell you why I didn't see you today. I didn't expect you to be the finale, hahahahaha..."
Tong Ruizhen snorted angrily and said, "Come on, Master He, stop your rhetoric. I, Tong Ruizhen, am not in the mood for flattery."
He Zhang was choked by Tong Ruizhen's words, and the string of "hahaha" suddenly got stuck in his throat. Finally, it turned into several dry "haha"s, then disappeared completely in his mouth, and his face turned green for a while. A burst of white, really beautiful.
However, even someone as arrogant and vicious as He Zhang did not dare to show any dissatisfaction when faced with Tong Ruizhen's ridicule.
Who calls Tong Ruizhen the elder of a high-level sect? The most important point is that Tong Ruizhen is still a powerful formation master and talisman master. Even though his own strength is only above average among all the elders of high-level sects, just in terms of his weird and indistinguishable formations, A large group of people in the cultivation world are willing to deal with his troubles.
What He Zhang was afraid of was not Tong Ruizhen, but the large group of immeasurably powerful people behind Tong Ruizhen.
The other disciples in the Xuyang Sect stared at this scene blankly. If this old man suddenly appeared and was slovenly, they were just surprised at first. Now, when He Zhang was humiliated by the other party but still wanted to please him, the disciples of Xuyang Sect became completely curious about the identity of this old man.
What kind of person is this? He can be treated so politely by the sect master!
Jun Xiaomo curled her lips. Although she didn't know which elder of Qingfeng Sect wanted to accept her as a disciple, but now it seemed that it was probably the one in front of her.
This elder is quite in line with her temperament.
Because He Zhang had just been humiliated, the atmosphere at the scene was stagnant and awkward for a moment. Just when everyone didn't know how to break the atmosphere, the person at the main seat half-jokingly said that he would "accept Jun Xiao" The elder of the Qingfeng Sect who is "Mo's disciple" spoke.
"Old man Tong, I'm not talking about you. Even if you are dressed like a beggar in the mortal world, anyone with a little more normal brains would choose me as master instead of you, right? Also, you have obviously left the house two weeks in advance. Well, it took so long to arrive at Xuyang Sect, don’t you think you should give an explanation to everyone present?”
Tong Ruizhen lowered his head and glanced at his clothes. As expected, they were tattered and sloppy, no different from a beggar. However, he has never been a thin-skinned person. He sorted out his clothes with countless holes, raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Hey! It doesn't matter if my clothes are not good. I have all my most valuable things." It’s in my head!”
This is the truth. Tong Ruizhen's ability in arranging formations and drawing talismans makes no one dare to offend him easily.
Of course, this is for outsiders. Within the Qingfeng Sect, those who have truly understood Tong Ruizhen's temper can make some harmless jokes with him, and Tong Ruizhen will not care.
"Old man Tong, you haven't explained to us why you are so late..." Elder Duan of Qingfeng Sect asked casually.
"Ahem..." Tong Ruizhen coughed dryly and paused, as if thinking about what kind of excuse he should make.
"I think Elder Tong might have lost his way again." Another Qingfeng Sect elder said with a smile, "I seem to remember that Elder Tong's mount is good at everything, but it just doesn't have a good sense of direction, right?"
Tong Ruizhen was choked, and after glaring at the other party, he stopped talking.
"Pfft..." Jun Xiaomo couldn't help but laughed, and her smile made other people's attention return to her.
Only then did Tong Ruizhen realize that the apprentice he wanted to recruit was standing not far away.
Sliding in front of Jun Xiaomo in three steps and two steps at a time, Tong Ruizhen asked Jun Xiaomo with a bright look: "Hey, little girl, how are you thinking? Have you made up your mind to be my apprentice?"
There were a lot of gasping sounds in the surroundings. It can be seen from the interaction between Tong Ruizhen and the elders of Qingfeng Sect that the identity of this late old man must not be simple. Although the specific identity of this old man has not yet been figured out, the identity of "senior sect elder" cannot be escaped.
From Tong Ruizhen's tone, does he mean that he wants to recruit Jun Xiaomo as his disciple? ! What did he like about Jun Xiaomo
Jun Xiaomo smiled, hugged Tong Ruizhen, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Elder Tong, for your kindness, but I have made it very clear in my reply. I hope Elder Tong can understand my decision."
The sound of gasping around her became even more obvious, because the implication of Jun Xiaomo's words seemed to indicate that she had rejected the olive branch extended to her by a senior sect elder? !
Did this woman have water in her head? If she refused such a good opportunity, she must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
Most people present looked at Jun Xiaomo in disbelief.
Tong Ruizhen snorted and said, "I don't care! If you don't become my disciple, I will stay in Xuyang Sect and never leave!"
Jun Xiaomo was speechless: "This..."
She has never seen an elder who is so "cheap", whether in the past life or in this life.
Tong Ruizhen glared at her and said angrily: "What is there about this elder that you can dislike? As the fifth elder of the Qingfeng Sect, there are a large group of people lining up to become my disciples. Just a girl like you is so I’m so ignorant that you even replied to me and rejected me!”
Jun Xiaomo smiled bitterly. There were some reasons that she couldn't explain clearly in a short while. Could it be that she said that she did not dare to leave the Xuyang Sect because she wanted to protect her parents and fellow disciples in Fengmen
At this time, Jun Linxuan stood up. He patted Jun Xiaomo on the shoulder, and then said to Tong Ruizhen: "Elder Tong, my daughter has had her own ideas since she was a child. I think I have to talk to her."
"Go, go, I'll wait for your good news." Elder Tong urged, waving his hand.
Jun Xiaomo pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then left with Jun Linxuan. She knew that her father wanted to convince her, and she was also thinking about finding some better reasons to convince her father.
After Jun Xiaomo and Jun Linxuan left the meeting hall, the atmosphere at the scene fell into a stagnant state again. The elders at the main seats were too lazy to find something to talk about, so they simply sat on their seats one by one, closing their eyes and concentrating, while He Zhang and the other peak masters and elders of Xuyang Sect were sitting there. He was shocked by Tong Ruizhen's choice, and was trying to digest this sudden incident.
Of course, the people who were hit the hardest were the disciples of the Xuyang Sect sitting on the seats, among whom Yu Wanrou and Qin Lingyu were the worst.
Qin Lingyu looked at the place where Jun Xiaomo and Jun Linxuan left with a sullen face, his eyes complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Yu Wanrou, on the other hand, squeezed the hem of her clothes tightly and suppressed the surging emotions in her chest.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would really scream unwillingly.
—The fifth elder of Qingfeng Sect! The person who took a fancy to Jun Xiaomo was actually the fifth elder of the Qingfeng Sect! Why! Why! There are so many people who are better than Jun Xiaomo, stronger than Jun Xiaomo, and more talented than Jun Xiaomo. Why did the fifth elder of Qingfeng Sect choose a person like Jun Xiaomo who is at the sixth level of Qi training
Yu Wanrou was so proud just now, but now she is so angry and disappointed.
Although she could also enter a high-level sect for further study, she followed Qin Lingyu as a "concubine", which was incomparable to the honor of Jun Xiaomo who was directly appointed as an appointed disciple of the Qingfeng Sect. Just move your toes and think about it, and you will know who is more powerful.
In the final analysis, she only rose to the top based on her "color". After entering the Xuanji Sect, someone might poke her back. But Jun Xiaomo was different. She had already become an unofficial disciple, and even officially Disciple, no one in Qingfeng Sect will look down upon her.
It can be seen from the eyes of the other disciples of the Xuyang Sect that just now they were full of contempt for Jun Xiaomo, but in a moment they turned into envy and jealousy, which was even hotter than the eyes they looked at Yu Wanrou just now.
Yu Wanrou felt that her limelight was once again suppressed by Jun Xiaomo, as if whenever she met Jun Xiaomo, she would always become the loser at the last moment.
Why is it like this? ! She was so unwilling, really unwilling! ! !
It would be best if Jun Xiaomo could refuse the olive branch of the Qingfeng Sect elder, and it would be best if Jun Xiaomo could offend an elder of a high-level sect. In this case, Jun Xiaomo will most likely never be able to step into a high-level sect. .
Because no elder would like such a high-minded disciple.
right! that's all.
Yu Wanrou was thinking angrily, staring at the door of the assembly hall, as if she wanted to set the entire door on fire.
The waiting time was always long. Some disciples couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and couldn't help but whisper to each other. Soon, a "buzzing" sound sounded in the meeting hall.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jun Linxuan and Jun Xiaomo finally came back. Jun Linxuan walked in front with a serious face, while Jun Xiaomo walked behind with her head lowered so that others could not see her expression clearly.
Tong Ruizhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to greet him, asking impatiently: "How is it?"
Seeing Tong Ruizhen's reaction, the disciples of Xuyang Sect became more aware of the importance Tong Ruizhen attached to Jun Xiaomo. Those who hated Jun Xiaomo silently complained in their hearts: Jun Xiaomo is really unlucky!
Jun Linxuan nodded and said to Tong Ruizhen: "Elder Tong should ask Xiaomo himself." After saying that, he stepped aside, revealing Jun Xiaomo's figure behind him.
"Little girl, what do you think? Are you willing to be my apprentice, Tong Ruizhen?" Tong Ruizhen stared at Jun Xiaomo and asked angrily.
Jun Xiaomo pondered for a moment, then raised his head, bowed to Tong Ruizhen, and said, "Master, please bow to me, my disciple."
"Hahahahahaha..." Tong Ruizhen laughed loudly, and the loud voice filled the entire meeting hall.
Others present were stunned again—this is... becoming a disciple? ! ! !
