"Chen Feng, I have high hopes for you. Are you willing to become my disciple and the future master of the Chaotian Sect?"
Two rays of light burst out from Guo Chang's eyes as he stared at Chen Feng.
Even though Chen Feng had long guessed that Guo Chang's purpose was not simple, he still couldn't help but feel his heart trembling when he heard Guo Chang's words.
"Worship you as my master? Become the future master of Chaotian Sect?" Chen Feng swallowed his saliva and said solemnly: "Are you kidding me, the deputy sect leader?"
Chen Feng's expression was within Guo Chang's expectations. Hearing this, he just smiled faintly: "As the deputy head of Chaotian Sect, I am responsible for everything I say and do. Do you think I would make such a joke?"
Chen Feng's face became increasingly serious.
"Why did you choose me?" He said bitterly, "There are so many people stronger than me in the inner sect, why did you choose me?"
"Because you are mysterious enough!" Guo Chang laughed and said, "Chen Feng, I have been keeping an eye on you since the disciple-recruiting ceremony that day. Your mystery is unmatched in Chaotian Sect. Mysterious people always have cards that are incomprehensible. If you can really become the future leader of Chaotian Sect, perhaps Chaotian Sect will flourish because of you."
Chen Feng smiled bitterly: "What if my mystery is all fake?"
"Whether it's life or a sect, they all move forward in one gamble after another. Some sects become stronger and stronger in the gambling, while some sects decline and are buried in the dust of history. The difference is nothing more than the right or wrong choice. My choice of you is also an unusual gamble. If you are really hopeless, then it's only my fault for being blind. Besides, if I really made a mistake, you would never have become the head of Chaotian Sect." Guo Chang said lightly, his tone calm.
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, as if there was another meaning in Guo Chang's words.
Guo Chang did clear up Chen Feng's confusion at this time: "The Chaotian Sect has two deputy leaders, one is me, Guo Chang, and the other is Deputy Leader Duan Ren. We had an agreement in our early years, that is, each of us would choose a disciple with extraordinary talent in the Chaotian Sect to train, and eventually let these two disciples compete for the position of leader. Now, thousands of years have passed, and both of us have become eight-tribulation loose immortals, and are about to face the ninth life and death catastrophe, but we have not found such a successor. You, this group of disciples, are our last hope."
Chen Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. It turned out that there was such an agreement between the two deputy heads of Chaotian Sect.
"Chen Feng, to be honest with you, Duan Ren has already selected his successor not long ago. If I don't take any action, I will lose this agreement." Guo Chang stared into Chen Feng's eyes and said slowly.
Chen Feng was silent.
Becoming Guo Chang's disciple is undoubtedly a blessing that is hard to find even with a lantern. Once you become Guo Chang's disciple, you will be able to ascend to heaven in the Chaotian Sect in the future. Not only can you get countless training resources, but you can also have a supreme status.
For anyone, such an opportunity is extremely rare.
But what about Chen Feng
Chen Feng was silent, thinking silently.
Guo Chang looked at Chen Feng quietly. Even though he had the strong will of an Eight Tribulations Immortal, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
After a long while, Chen Feng's eyes suddenly became firm. He looked at Guo Chang seriously and said solemnly, "Deputy Sect Leader, please forgive me. Chen Feng cannot agree to this!"
"Why?" Guo Chang's brows moved, and he looked incredulous: "Do you know that becoming my disciple means you are destined to become a superior person?"
Chen Feng nodded slightly, very calmly: "Chen Feng knows."
"Then why did you reject me? Do you know how many of the countless inner sect disciples are begging and hoping to be my apprentice?" Guo Chang's tone also had a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Disciple understands." Chen Feng's eyes were firm. "Being the disciple of the deputy headmaster can indeed help you reach the sky in one step, but the responsibilities that come with it are also huge. I, Chen Feng, have already had too many concerns in my life. If I am also tied to the Chaotian Sect, it will not be beneficial to my path of cultivation!"
"On the road of cultivation, although I don't know how far I can go, my pursuit is to reach the pinnacle of cultivation. I don't want to waste my energy in Chaotian Sect." Every word Chen Feng spoke was sonorous, as if he was declaring his great ideal.
Guo Chang was silent.
At first, his thoughts were very similar to Chen Feng's. But later, he was disturbed by the temptation of power. Although he finally sat on the throne of the deputy leader of Chaotian Sect, he no longer had the ambition he had at the beginning. Perhaps, only a monstrous genius like the leader of Chaotian Sect can have both power and cultivation.
Thinking of this, the blame in Guo Chang's eyes disappeared, and instead he showed a kind smile.
"Chen Feng, you see things more clearly than I do." Guo Chang smiled lightly, and said in a carefree manner: "Whatever, this is my fate. The artistic conception in the stone platform has been passed on to you. Whether you agree or not, you are already half of my disciple. As for the position of the head, it is up to you whether you want to fight for it or not."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately bowed and saluted: "Disciple Chen Feng, greetings to Master!"
After this bow, Chen Feng was sincerely convinced.
Whether it was Guo Chang's help to him or Guo Chang's own boldness and unrestrainedness, it was enough for Chen Feng to worship him as his teacher.
"Hahaha, Chen Feng, I, Guo Chang, never care about these etiquettes. As long as you have me as your master in your heart, what does it matter whether you bow down to me or not?" Guo Chang grabbed Chen Feng's hands with a smile and helped him up: "It's better not to have these red tapes in the future."
"Yes, Master!" Chen Feng said respectfully.
"Okay, Chen Feng, since you have acknowledged me as your master, I have to tell you something." Guo Chang's eyes suddenly became serious: "I, Guo Chang, am the deputy head of Chaotian Sect. I have dedicated my whole life to Chaotian Sect. As my disciple, you cannot do anything to betray Chaotian Sect. If you dare to betray Chaotian Sect, I, Guo Chang, will definitely kill you personally!"
"Disciple understands!" Chen Feng was secretly impressed by Guo Chang's loyalty. Such an old man who is devoted to the sect deserves respect.
"Of course..." Guo Chang changed the subject: "As my disciple, as long as your heart is in Chaotian Sect, no matter what you do, as long as I am alive as your master, I will stand behind you! At least, before I die, I will not let you be oppressed by others."
"Thank you, Master!" Chen Feng said in a deep voice, his words full of emotion: "Master must be blessed with great fortune and a long life!"
"Chen Feng, to be honest, your days are numbered." Guo Chang sighed, "Thirty years from now, your ninth great calamity of life and death will come."
