When the moment she had been looking forward to the most finally arrived, Jiang Yuebai thought she would be decisive and resolute, but she actually hesitated.
Wen Ci was very patient. "Of the twelve True Lords of Tianyan Sect, Fuyi practices formations, Guanghan practices swordsmanship, Canghuo is an expert in both elixirs and weapons, and although Qingnangzi is affiliated with them, he also accepts disciples and practices medicine. Lu Yinghuai and the other six are all practicing magic, with different focuses. Guanlan practices water magic and also emphasizes martial arts, and Lingxizi has made great achievements in studying the two arts of music and painting in recent years. If you can't make a decision now, you can think about it in a few days."
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath and said, "No need. I can decide now."
If you worry too much, you will think too much. My grandfather said that you should just follow your heart in everything.
"I want to become a disciple of Master Fuyi and learn the art of formation."
Wen Ci was a little surprised, thinking that she would choose a magician, but then she thought it was normal. Everyone admires the strong, and Fu Yi is the number one formation mage in the Earth Spirit Realm. If it were anyone else, they would choose her too.
Behind Wen Ci, Wen Miao shook her head and sighed.
Everyone's eyes fell on Master Fuyi. Her face was cold and there was no sign of any emotion on her face.
Seeing this, everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"Fuyi? What do you mean?" Wen Ci asked.
Master Fu Yi's eyes swept over Jiang Yuebai, and he bowed to Wen Ci and said, "Master, I have already accepted He Wangchen before the competition. She is not as good as He Wangchen in the art of formation, and I have limited energy. I have to be responsible for He Wangchen, so I don't want to accept him as a disciple."
Everyone was shocked. As the first place in the competition was always sought after by other True Lords, True Lord Fuyi actually refused in public.
Xie Jingshan was so angry that he wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Lu Nanzhi. Yun Shang also stared at Master Fuyi with wide eyes, with some anger in her eyes, and most of the other people looked puzzled.
"Zhao Fuyi, are you deliberately trying to be different here?" Wen Miao asked in a cold voice.
Lu Yinghuai straightened his sleeves and said, "If Master Fuyi is unwilling to accept it, I can..."
"Get out of the way!" Wen Miao shouted coldly, and Lu Yinghuai stepped back with a gloomy face.
Wen Ci looked over and before she could say anything, Wen Miao said, "You're worried that she'll have a demon in her heart, and you protect her everywhere. Do you still expect her to reach the state of spiritual transformation? I think it would be better to take advantage of today when everyone is here, and let everyone, including herself, see what kind of person she really is!"
Wen Ci swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and Wen Miao looked at Zhao Fuyi, "It's normal that you don't want to accept a disciple, but ask yourself now, do you really not have any personal grudges and deliberately make things difficult for a child?"
Zhao Fuyi looked calm as usual, looked Wen Miao in the eye and said, "No, I'm just telling the truth."
"The truth? You never tell the truth! I'll tell you what the truth is. The truth is that you are angry that He Wangchen lost to this girl. The truth is that this girl has a deep connection with Li Jiuchuan and you are too embarrassed to accept it!"
Zhao Fuyi secretly clenched her fists, "I have already told you, Grand Elder, that her talent in formation is indeed not as good as Wang Chen's, and my Tiangang Peak has always only accepted those with exceptional spiritual roots. She is very good, and her talent in other aspects is not bad. Why should I delay her if I don't want to accept her? What's more, her temperament is not compatible with mine, and we are not destined to be master and disciple."
"Incompatible personalities? Come on, tell me what incompatible personalities mean."
Zhao Fuyi said bluntly: "The key to the art of formation is stability. You need to plan carefully at every step and avoid being greedy and reckless. She... is too competitive and not calm enough."
Wen Miao sneered, "Zhao Fuyi, did I hear you correctly? You still have the nerve to say that others are too competitive? If you hadn't disobeyed orders and insisted on staying to hold on during the Nether Sea Ghost Tide, how could Li Jiuchuan's life treasure have been shattered and he almost died?"
Zhao Fuyi's calm eyes were filled with ripples, and her tone suddenly became urgent, "I am doing this for the mortals behind me who have nowhere to retreat!"
"You're nothing! Tell me that again!"
“That’s enough!!”
Seeing Wen Miao's aura was agitated and his hair was standing on end with anger, Wen Ci smashed the ground with his cane and a clear light swept across the two of them.
Zhao Fuyi took a step back, and Wen Miao suppressed her anger, but the atmosphere was still tense.
None of the True Lords dared to speak, and all the disciples present were terrified.
It was also at this time that everyone remembered that Jiang Yuebai was still there.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Yuebai's reaction.
Lu Nanzhi walked out of the queue, stood beside Jiang Yuebai, and put his arm around her shoulders.
Yun Shang and Xie Jingshan also came forward to accompany them, and even Zhuo Qingfeng and Ge Yuchan took half a step forward.
Jiang Yuebai felt a lump in his throat and looked back at everyone. He didn't feel anything at first, but because of everyone's silent support, tears welled up in his eyes.
Wen Ci suppressed Zhao Fuyi and Wen Miao, and then asked Jiang Yuebai, "Good boy, Fuyi refused to accept you because she is unlucky. Can you choose another master?"
Jiang Yuebai sniffed and said, "Master, can I have a word with Master Fuyi?"
Lu Nanzhi pinched her shoulders and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, speak boldly."
Yun Shang nodded, and Xie Jingshan also said, "Yes, just say whatever you want to say, you didn't do anything wrong."
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Fuyi without fear.
"Master Fuyi, in the winter when I was six years old, there was a snowstorm in Tianyan Sect. I was fortunate enough to witness you wave your hand to shake the sky and reverse the world in Huaxi Valley. It was at that moment that you showed me what a truly heaven-defying supernatural power is. It also gave me a goal and a direction to pursue for the first time."
"So even though the way of formations is difficult, even though I don't have much talent, I am still working hard to learn and get closer to you, hoping that one day I can become a truly powerful cultivator like you. Perhaps, it is because I was so shocked when I first met you that I have been unable to let go and it has become an obsession."
"You are right. I am not as good as Wang Chen in the art of formation. Your rejection today has made me sober up in time and I will not make the same mistake again and again and go astray because of my obsession. And after being rejected by you, I found that I was not too disappointed or sad. It was just because I was a little embarrassed in front of everyone."
Wen Miao nodded in appreciation and turned her head to look around, not knowing what she was looking for.
Jiang Yuebai wiped away her tears and bowed.
"Yuebai thanks Master Fuyi for not accepting my gift today."
Standing up, Jiang Yuebai smiled, like the arrival of spring breeze and the dissipation of winter chill.
The clear energy from the Mingxin hairpin on your head will clear away the haze in your heart and reveal your true self.
Grandpa said that others have no obligation to like themselves. She dares to choose, but also dares to accept rejection.
"I know who the master I really want to worship is now."
At this moment, Wen Miao looked towards the east and shouted loudly: "If you don't show up, the disciple you've been thinking about will be gone!"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the east. There was a gentleman, like a mountain stream, walking through the air, handsome and unparalleled.
"Li Jiuchuan? He's in the Nascent Soul stage!" Lu Yinghuai and others were shocked when they saw who was coming.
Zhao Fuyi's pupils suddenly shrank, as if their eyes were stung by the dazzling light. As proud as she was, she never bowed her head in front of Wen Miao, but at this moment she actually took a half step back to avoid his gaze.
Jiang Yuebai's gaze also fell on Li Jiuchuan, and his heart beat violently.
Li Jiuchuan landed and bowed to Wen Miao, Wen Ci and others.
"Jiuchuan has returned from giving birth to a baby. I would like to pay my respects to the Sect Master, the Grand Elder, the True Lord Zhongshan, and all of you... Senior Brothers and Sisters."
At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered the unrivaled Jiuchuan Zhenren of the Tianyan Sect.
Today, he went through many hardships, returned as a baby, and became the True Lord of Jiuchuan.
This is the second Yuanying Zhenjun with five spiritual roots in Tianyan Sect since its founder Lu Xingyun.
He is destined to inherit Lu Xingyun's mantle, and in the future he will most likely reach the top of the avenue like Lu Xingyun.
Wen Ci looked at Li Jiuchuan excitedly, "Good, good, good, it's good to have a baby. God bless our sect, great good!"
Li Jiuchuan stood tall and graceful, and glanced at Zhao Fuyi indifferently. She clenched her fists secretly and did not dare to look up.
"She is a stubborn stone, but I am a bright pearl. I didn't want to interfere with her choice, but now the bright pearl is unknown. Jiuchuan, I would like to ask Jiang Yuebai to be my disciple!"
The clear and bright sound is powerful, and the echoing sound shakes the heart.
The word "ask" shook everyone's heart.
Li Jiuchuan turned around, his eyes fell solemnly on Jiang Yuebai, and his words were earnest.
"Jiang Yuebai, although I am not the best guide in the world, I will work hard to become a master worthy of you. I will do my best to protect you from the wind and rain, answer your questions, and protect you on your path."
"You and I are both teachers and friends. I am not a narrow-minded person. If there is something I cannot teach you, you can go to another master."
"As long as you want to learn, I will do my best to help you. So, are you willing to become my disciple? I will instruct you now, and we will seek the Tao together in the future!"

After finishing typing, I saw that [Kanzaki] became the first leader of this book. What a surprise and shock. Thank you, big boss!
Yesterday, there were extra monthly tickets and rewards, so I added more chapters to express my gratitude. As for the leader's thanks, I will pay it back slowly starting tomorrow...
