The square outside the main hall was filled with darkness. At first glance, it felt like a "crowd of people". A slight visual inspection revealed that there were probably nearly ten thousand people.
All the disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect gathered here and stood in a neat line. Although some people were chatting quietly, they were not in a mess. Most of them were looking at the main hall of the Weapon Refining Sect, as if waiting for something.
"Sect Master and the others are coming out!"
"The sect master, all the elders, and all the direct disciples are here. What exactly are you going to announce at this grand sect-wide meeting?"
"Look, the one walking next to Senior Brother Lingyan is Bai Yunfei!"
"That's him... the one who blew up half of the West Peak weapon refining cliff, the one who was accepted as an exception as a direct disciple. Do you think this sect meeting is related to him?"
"Isn't it possible? Even if we make an exception and accept him as a direct disciple, there is no need to hold a general meeting of the whole sect. However, today coincides with the three-month period set by the original sect leader. Maybe it is really..."
"I heard that he just had a fight with Senior Brother Chen Huanghua from Xifeng on the mountainside, and he easily won without moving even an inch..."
"What? Didn't Senior Brother Chen Huanghua just reach the Soul Sect realm? How is it possible..."
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. Senior Brother Bai is so much stronger than Senior Brother Chen Huanghua that he ended the battle with just a raise of his hand..."
"Huh? Who is that old man walking next to the sect leader? How come I haven't seen him before? All the elders are actually walking behind him..."
"You are just starting out, so of course you don't know him. That is the previous generation master of my Weapon Refining Sect, the old master Zijin who has retired."
"He's actually the master?! In that case, he looks too young, right?"
"Nonsense, for a powerful soul master, even a hundred years old can still look like middle age. Isn't it so strange..."
"Didn't the old sect master not care about the internal affairs of the sect? Why did he actually attend the sect-wide meeting this time?"
"how could I know… "
“…”
Everyone was talking a lot, but when Kou Changkong and others came closer, they immediately stopped talking with great respect. For a while, the whole square fell into silence.
Facing so many people for the first time, and most of these people's eyes were looking at him, although Bai Yunfei felt a little uncomfortable, he still held his head high and looked calm.
There is a large stone platform in front of the main hall, which is used for martial arts competitions by sect disciples. Several elders such as Zijin and Kou Changkong walked directly onto the stone platform, while Song Lin led a group of direct disciples to the front of the crowd and took the lead. stand.
This was a sect-wide meeting of the Weapon Refining Sect, not an award ceremony for a company, so there were no elders speaking in turn, not even a presiding disciple. Kou Changkong glanced at the nearly 10,000 disciples in front of him, and said in a clean and deep voice: "This general meeting is just to announce one thing!"
He did not deliberately amplify his voice, but every disciple of the Weapon Refining Sect present could hear it clearly, and they all waited in silence for what was to follow.
Kou Changkong glanced at Bai Yunfei: "Yunfei, come up!"
"It really has something to do with me!" Bai Yunfei's heart suddenly flashed. Although he was shocked, he did not dare to neglect and walked up quickly and respectfully.
Walking in front of Kou Changkong, Bai Yunfei whispered doubtfully: "Master..."
Unexpectedly, Kou Changkong suddenly shook his head and whispered something that made Bai Yunfei almost turn pale! !
"Don't call me Master."
Bai Yunfei's mind went blank for a moment, and he roared in his heart: "'Don't call me Master'?! What kind of consciousness... Could it be that... I can't become a direct disciple?!" As soon as this thought appeared, an incomparable feeling of loss came to his heart. Bai Yunfei was a little confused...
But he didn't notice that all the elders in front of him were looking at him with smiles in their eyes.
Kou Changkong didn't pause for long. He raised his hand and pointed at Bai Yunfei, looked at all the disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect in the audience, and said loudly: "As I said just now, the purpose of this conference is only to announce one thing, and that is..."
"Bai Yunfei, the new disciple of the sect, from now on, is the fourth direct disciple of the old master Zijin of our weapon refining sect!!"
“…”
“…”
The whole place was silent for three seconds, and then an uncontrollable chaotic discussion erupted.
"What? Did I hear you correctly? What did the sect master just say? Whose direct disciple?"
"I heard that he was a direct disciple of the old master Zijin. Did I hear it wrong too?"
"You heard that right, unless the sect master said it wrong, otherwise, this Bai Yunfei will be the old sect master's disciple and the sect master's junior brother from now on..."
"Isn't it incredible?! The old sect master who has been retired for many years actually accepted a disciple again!"
"This Senior Brother Bai... No, from now on, he should be called 'Uncle Bai'!"
"What's so special about him that he was actually accepted as a direct disciple by the old sect leader..."
“…”
And all the direct disciples, including Song Lin, were all shocked and seemed unable to believe what they heard. It was obvious that even they did not know about it beforehand.
Looking at the dumbfounded Bai Yunfei, Kou Changkong smiled slightly and said: "Yunfei, from now on, you can no longer call me master. The seniority of the masters is insurmountable. From now on, you and I will be considered brothers. You don't have to feel awkward. , In fact, I haven’t officially accepted you as my disciple yet. Now that you are appreciated by the master, it is all due to your own extraordinary performance. You must familiarize yourself with your future identity as soon as possible."
"This... I..." Bai Yunfei still hadn't fully recovered from the sudden turn of events. Listening to Kou Changkong's words, he didn't know what to answer for a moment.
Seeing his stunned look, Huangfunan on the side curled his lips and said: "Hmph! Boy Bai, you have been so lucky for eight lifetimes. I didn't expect that you would be of the same generation as me just three months after you came here. Why are you still standing there? , my uncle is still waiting, why don’t you call me master quickly!”
After his reminder, Bai Yunfei suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at the old master Zijin who was looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly bowed with some trembling: "Disciple... Disciple Bai Yunfei, pay homage to Master... Master!!"
Zijin smiled and nodded: "Well, Yunfei, you will be my direct disciple from now on. I will do my best to teach you my skills. Don't let me down..."
"Yes, Master!!"
Bai Yunfei responded loudly. From the extreme disappointment just now to the ecstasy of surprise now, one sentence echoed in his heart...
Life goes up and down so fast, it’s so exciting! !
… …
The entire sect meeting ended after Kou Changkong announced this matter.
The disciples left with a lot of confusion and discussion one after another. The old master Zijin also told Bai Yunfei to go to Beifeng to find him early tomorrow morning, and then returned to the hall with the other elders to let Bai Yunfei and others Leave on your own.
Not long after, only Bai Yunfei and some people who knew him were left in the square.
People including Tang Xinyun, Ye Zhiqiu, Zhong Xuhao and others gathered around, surrounding Bai Yunfei in the middle.
"Big Bai... Master Bai... Uncle..." Mo Xiaoxuan walked up to Bai Yunfei and wanted to say hello first, but he hesitated and didn't know how to say hello.
"No... let's forget it." Bai Yunfei quickly waved his hand and said, "I heard that Shen was panicking, so let's just go with the original call. We don't need to be too particular about this."
"Really? Can we continue to call you Brother Bai?" Zhong Xuhao said happily.
"Yeah." Bai Yunfei smiled and nodded.
"Huh... okay, okay..." Mo Xiaoxuan breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief and smiled, "I thought I wouldn't be able to talk to Brother Bai like before! You suddenly became an 'elder', let us How to adapt!"
Bai Yunfei said: "It's just the sect's seniority, we are still the same as before in private."
As he said that, he looked at Tang Xinyun beside him and said with a smile: "Xinyun, don't worry, I won't let you call me uncle, haha..."
"..." Tang Xinyun was speechless. She had asked Bai Yunfei to call her senior sister as a joke before, but now she was really afraid that he would ask her to call her 'uncle senior'.
At this time, Song Lin, Xiao Nanren and Ling Yan came over. Song Lin looked at Bai Yunfei and hesitated: "Master Bai... Master..."
It can be seen that he is actually unable to adapt to this sudden change.
"Senior Brother, please don't call me Uncle..." Bai Yunfei waved his hand, "Everyone can just call me Yun Fei from now on. There is no need to be too unfamiliar."
Song Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Haha, then you must never call me senior brother again..."
Bai Yunfei thought for a while and said: "Then I will call you Brother Song from now on, as well as Brother Xiao and Brother Ling. You are both older than me, so it is appropriate for me to call you 'Big Brother'."
"Well, that's fine, then that'll be it from now on."
Song Lin and the other three people all nodded in agreement. After all, it was too awkward for them to call someone who was previously a 'junior brother' 'junior uncle'.
