The Haotian Sect's quarterly apprenticeship ceremony has arrived again.
In the main hall, a group of energetic schoolchildren stood in the center.
After completing the process, they will officially join the supreme sect in the spiritual world.
But not every schoolchild is so lucky.
Based on their qualifications, family background and sponsorship fees, these students have long been divided into different levels.
The best students will naturally be selected directly by the head teacher, Tianyue Zhenren, to serve as closed disciples and receive the best training.
Those who are slightly inferior will be taken in by the elders one by one and become inner disciples. The treatment is pretty good, with food, warmth, and wifi.
As for the worst batch, I'm sorry, no one claimed them and they were eventually assigned to be outer disciples, becoming exploited cheap labor.
Zhenren Tianyue and the elders all had smiles as beautiful as chrysanthemums on their faces, and looked at these new disciples amiably. Next, they would be able to harvest another wave of fresh and delicious leeks.
Seeing the rosy pink faces of these schoolchildren, some elders with less self-control couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of their mouths.
However, when some people's eyes fell on the eye-catching "old student" among the students, they sucked back their tears from the corners of their mouths.
Needless to say, that is our glorious and eye-catching dark horse in the cultivation world and also an older youth, Young Master Shen Yingnian!
In their eyes, he was just a useless young man who was hollowed out by alcohol and sex. Compared with those excellent students, even his urine was rotten and not fragrant at all.
"The apprenticeship ceremony begins!"
Someone shouted, "Worship the statue of the ancestor first!"
In the center of the main hall stands a huge gilded statue of the founder named Haotian.
Shen Yingnian took a glance and smacked his lips. Her beauty was not even one-tenth as beautiful as his.
It is impossible to worship him. How could Young Master Shen take a thief as his master
As other students bowed and saluted, Shen Yingnian looked at the statue proudly.
"Um?"
Zhenren Tianyue and others frowned.
Shen Yingjie immediately walked up and shouted, "Shen Yingnian! Show some attitude! Have you forgotten what you came here for today?"
Shen Yingnian continued to look at the statue thoughtfully.
"I'm talking to you, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?" Shen Yingjie stepped forward and scolded.
Tianyue Zhenren asked: "Yingnian, do you have any ideas?"
Shen Yingnian faced Tianyue Zhenren and said, "I just exchanged glances with this ancestor, and suddenly some more information entered my head, as if he was talking to me."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Don't be so pretentious. If you don't want to join Haotian Sect, get out of here. I will report your bad behavior to the family!" Shen Yingjie said. He really wanted to stop Shen Yingnian from joining Haotian Sect.
"It's true, this Ritian... Oh, Grandmaster Haotian told me something, and it has something to do with you." Shen Yingnian said seriously.
Shen Yingjie was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Yingnian, do you mean that the ancestor had a spiritual communication with you? What did the ancestor say?" asked Zhenren Tianyue. In fact, he didn't believe what Shen Yingnian said at all. He just wanted to see what tricks this young man was trying to play.
"The old man said that the Haotian Sect is in crisis and there are evil spirits lurking inside the sect." Shen Yingnian looked solemn.
"You said I was a demon?" Shen Yingjie was furious.
"I didn't say it was you. Why are you so anxious to identify yourself?" Shen Yingnian rolled his eyes.
"Then what did you mean when you said you had a relationship with me?" Shen Yingjie was furious.
"If it's related to Haotian Sect, then it's naturally related to you. Aren't you a disciple of Haotian Sect?" Shen Yingnian sneered.
Shen Yingjie choked for a moment, realizing that he had fallen into Shen Yingnian's trap, and bowed to Tianyue Zhenren and said, "Master, Shen Yingnian is a traitor and is not fit to be accepted into Haotian Sect. Please kick this villain out of Haotian Sect."
Zhenren Tianyue's face was as gloomy as water. He had been eager to drive Shen Yingnian away, but he was reluctant to part with the formula of the spiritual water in his hand.
Moreover, he has already fulfilled his promise and taught Shen Yingnian the art of replenishing yang, but Shen Yingnian has not expressed any reaction until now. It turns out that he is fooling him!
Therefore, how could he let Shen Yingnian go so easily? "Since he has committed treason, how can he be easily forgiven? Even if he has not yet joined Haotian Sect, he has offended the dignity of Haotian Sect. Otherwise, we should put him in solitary confinement and make a decision after the apprenticeship ceremony is over."
"No, Master, I haven't told you the secret that Grandmaster Haotian secretly told me." Shen Yingnian said.
“Then tell me. If what you say is true and accurate, I will forgive you. But if you are still talking nonsense, I will make sure you learn a lesson you will never forget!” said Taoist Tianyue.
"It's not convenient to talk about these things here..."
"Our Haotian Sect has always been aboveboard, and there are no secrets that cannot be revealed!"
"You said it, so I'll say it. Grandmaster Haotian said two words to me."
Shen Yingnian said mysteriously: "The back mountain!"
When these two words came out, almost everyone was confused.
However, Zhenren Tianyue and several elders' faces suddenly changed, and their eyes showed shock and fear!
Shen Yingnian noticed their changing expressions and said, "Grandmaster Haotian also said..."
"That's enough!" Tianyue Zhenren hurriedly stopped him, looking at Shen Yingnian for a long while with complicated eyes, and said: "Maybe the ancestor thought you were talented, so the spirit came down and established spiritual communication with you. Since it is the ancestor's will, it is a serious matter. Let's talk about it in private later."
Then, Tianyue Zhenren said to everyone as if he was trying to cover his ears and steal a bell: "Let me be frank. The mountain behind Haotian Sect is a forbidden area. Traitors and criminals of Haotian Sect are imprisoned there. This is also the evil spirit that Shen Yingnian just mentioned. You have heard about it today. I hope you will forget it after leaving the main hall. If anyone dares to leak it, I will never forgive him!"
The disciples quickly agreed.
In fact, some senior disciples had heard of this rumor, because from time to time when someone went to clean up near the back mountain, they would hear some strange cries.
Over time, the back mountain became a mysterious and strange place.
Tianyue Zhenren didn't want to dwell on this topic any more, and said to Shen Yingnian: "Although you behaved improperly just now, I won't bother with you because the Grand Master has shown favor to you. Let's continue with the apprenticeship ceremony. I will discipline you properly when you become my disciple."
Shen Yingnian gave a sweet smile.
I thought it was time for socialism to discipline you old guys!
At this moment, a disciple came running outside the door and said in a panic: "Master, it's bad, the people from the Tianshi Sect have reached the mountain gate!"
"People from the Tianshi Sect? Are you sure?" Zhenren Tianyue asked angrily.
I am sure that it was their headmaster who came over personally and told us to hand over the person immediately!"
"Who?"
"Their chief disciple, Bai Xuanxiao!"
