Xi Ming, the head of Xuantian Sect, looks like a middle-aged man with a majestic look. Compared to the naturally gentle young master, he seems to be on the other extreme, with a serious expression and an expression of no anger and self-importance, and his eyebrows are unconsciously tightened. He was twisting his head, with an unapproachable expression written all over his face, looking a bit fierce.
He turned his head and glanced over, watched Hong Ge finish her salute, and then said in a deep voice, "Are you the one who designed the peaks in the secret realm?"
"..." Hongge's heart sank, what do you mean, settling the scores after the fall?
She did use some strategies in the secret realm, but the game is a game. These are tactics at best, and they are within a reasonable range. She will not take them off the field and then look back for another place.
I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had to stay silent.
However, Venerable Chang Lan next to him heard something strange. He frowned and looked directly at Xi Ming and said, "Master, you called us here to announce the rankings and reward the disciples, didn't you?"
"There's no rush for this." Xi Ming responded, looking at Hong Ge again in the palace and said, "This trip to the secret realm, the first two team leaders said that this secret realm experience was all due to your proper arrangement. What do you think when you take the lead?"
"..." Ganqing Yuchao specially asked her to come and receive the award. But from the tone of the leader, it seemed that he didn't really want to reward her. Hongge thought for a while before replying, "Master, the results of this training are all the result of the hard work of the senior brothers."
"Well, we have heard about what happened in your secret realm. Although you are a bit quick-witted, I feel that you should not use it on your fellow disciples." Xi Ming frowned again and put on a preaching look. He said in a tone of voice, "The most important thing in practice is to cultivate yourself, rather than rely on some heretical ways to win. Besides, all the Xuantian Sect disciples in the secret realm should be united as one, and some small tricks should be kept to the outside world. It’s the right time.”
Chang Lan looked at the leader above in surprise, what did he mean?
"Hahaha... we're just like the same spirit!" Before he could speak, the master of the Beast Control Peak next to him suddenly laughed and interjected with a cheerful look on his face, "I heard that on the last day, they united. All the Immortal Peaks attacked together and won the victory. In the past, no one in the Wulin Secret Realm could do such a thing."
It's just that only the disciples from the first peak of Lingjian Peak were besieged, and they were allowed to pick up the second spot from the Beast Control Peak. The master of the Beast Control Peak would laugh out of his dreams, okay? He originally wanted to praise him, but when he saw the master's face turning green, he realized with hindsight that Lingjian Peak was the master's disciple, so he had to touch his nose and close his mouth.
But this interruption prevented the leader from pursuing further investigation. After all, the Master of the Beast Control Peak was right. After uniting such immortal peaks, how could they say that they were not united as one, but he did not bring his spirit sword? Just for fun. Xi Ming suddenly felt as if his spellcasting had been interrupted, but his expression remained silent.
"In this case, the rewards for Wulin Secret Realm this time will be according to the previous rules." I don't know if he felt that he had lost face, but the head of Ximing didn't seem to be excited to continue chatting. He directly raised his hand and said: At that moment, only three magical artifacts appeared in the hall. "These are high-grade magical artifacts. Let's consider them as rewards for the leading disciples of each peak."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chao, Peng Zhen and the leader of Xuanzhen Peak walked out quickly, each of them caught a magic weapon, and they all saluted, "Thank you, Master."
"Yeah." He nodded, completely ignoring Hong Ge who specially called next to him, and was about to end the meeting.
"Master." Chang Lan suddenly stood up, obviously not wanting it to end like this, and said directly in a deep voice, "Chu Hongge performed well this time, which shows that he is a good boy with potential. He also has a lot of insights on Dan Dao. I I want to accept her as my direct disciple, and I hope the master will make it happen."
"Personal disciple?!" As soon as she said these words, not only the head of Xuantian Sect but also all the peak masters and elders present looked at her in surprise. Although I understand that Chang Lan's temperament has always been open and direct, but he is a direct disciple, more important than the inner disciples, the one who truly passes on the inheritance. Almost all the direct disciples of each peak master train the people who will succeed the peak master in the future.
Although this disciple named Chu Hongge's performance in this secret realm was indeed outstanding, it only made them appreciate him a little more. He just accepted him as an inner disciple, so there was no need to become a direct disciple. Let's talk about the secret realm thing. She obviously offended the leader. After all, the only one who was cheated was his disciple. It was not cost-effective to accept her as a disciple at this time.
"Junior sister Chang, I heard that this disciple has the Five Elements Wasted Spiritual Root. Do you want to accept such a disciple as your direct successor?" Xi Ming also frowned, and even felt that the other party was deliberately seeking bad luck for him, and said a little unhappy, "As the master of a peak, how can you accept disciples so casually?"
"Who said you can't become talented if you have five elements and a broken spiritual root? Since I decided to accept her as my disciple, I will naturally solve this little problem." Chang Lan still insisted on her own idea. You know what the hell, Hong Ge is a genius in alchemy.
Xi Ming's frown deepened and he said angrily, "Junior Sister Chang, I remember that you already have several disciples under your name. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to accept another one, and it would also be unfair to other peaks!"
That's right, there is a fixed number of disciples in each peak. After all, a sect only has so many resources. If there is one more disciple in this peak, the resources will be one more, and the resources allocated to other peaks will be one less. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, every time Xuantian Sect accepts a disciple, the quota of inner disciples is distributed equally.
Especially the disciples of the Peak Master strictly arrange their numbers, no more and no less.
Chang Lan naturally understands this truth. Just when he was about to speak, the master of the Beast Control Peak next to him lit up his eyes and hurriedly took the initiative to say, "Why don't you join my Beast Control Peak? I also feel that although this woman's spiritual roots are a bit weak, , but it’s not impossible to cultivate.”
After all, the second place in their Beast Control Peak was also brought up by someone else, and there happened to be one more disciple in the sect, so he subconsciously opened his mouth to save the situation. Unfortunately, his kindness was not appreciated by Chang Lan, and instead he exploded.
"Old man Wei Qing, you shit shovel, why should I fight against you? Hong Ge is the disciple I chose first, don't even think about it!"
"..." No, don't you see that I'm helping you?
"Master, please don't forget that the number of disciples I originally accepted did not exceed the limit." She said pointedly, "Now it is my turn to accept disciples. I can't just refuse them every time." Let me choose my disciples.”
Xi Ming's face darkened, and he naturally remembered the exchange between Xie Yifei and Lu Chenhua. It was true that she was qualified to accept a disciple, but he had forced the Fire Spirit Root disciple to take up the quota. So it was hard to refute him for the moment, for fear that she would get angry and scold him directly for seeking personal gain with power in front of so many people, so she could only admit it, "Fine, you can take it if you want, but it can't be a direct disciple."
"Thank you, Master." Chang Lan also accepted the offer and reached out to pull Hong Ge behind him, giving Wei Qing a look as if he was guarding against thieves.
Wei Qing: "..."
