Although the first thing announced by the Patriarch made everyone still a little confused and didn't understand why the Patriarch would do this, at this moment, they were even more curious about the second thing announced by the Patriarch!
Everyone looked at the head of the family expectantly, and many people also hoped that this would be a good thing related to them.
After all, because they disappointed the family leader too much, they were directly deprived of the qualification to participate in the third round of assessment, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, they are still looking forward to whether the head of the family can give them another chance.
Although they felt that this possibility was not very high, they were still looking forward to it. What if the family owner really wanted to give them a chance?
"The second thing is that I want to accept Bai Zhengqi as my first direct disciple!" Cheng Yu looked at so many longing eyes and announced directly.
Although he knew that everyone would be disappointed after learning the news, the reality was so cruel.
Sometimes if an opportunity is missed, it is missed. He has made the content and purpose of the assessment clear to everyone.
If the opportunity is given to them again, then what's the point of these assessments he asked for?
As for the announcement of accepting Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple, that had been planned for a long time.
Because of last year's competition, Bai Zhengqi was eliminated by him personally, so if he had announced Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple at that time, many people would have been unconvinced.
But today, the time is obviously ripe, and Bai Zhengqi has shown his ability to everyone with his own progress and strength.
Even if everyone is a little surprised when this news is announced now, at least everyone has seen Bai Zhengqi's ability with their own eyes, so it is relatively easy for everyone to accept it.
Although he is the head of the family, even without these things, if he wants to accept Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple, no one else can do anything. However, Bai Zhengqi's outstanding performance can convince everyone, which is the best thing.
What's more, because of the relationship between Coco and Bai Zhengqi, if he accepted Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple, then others would only think that it was because of Coco that Bai Zhengqi became his direct disciple.
Bai Zhengqi obviously doesn't want everyone to always look at him like this behind his back.
Therefore, after passing this assessment, Bai Zhengqi can legitimately become his disciple. I believe that even if some people still question him, at least these people present will always have someone to clear his name!
"Accept Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple? Didn't the Patriarch say that this is for our assessment? Why are we accepting Bai Zhengqi as our direct disciple now?" Everyone was stunned. What they were looking forward to now suddenly not only disappeared, but Somewhat desperate.
Many people here are a little dissatisfied at this time. They all think that the head of the family is going to choose the direct disciple among them this time, but after going back and forth, it has become Bai Zhengqi's problem.
"Yes, Patriarch, we are the ones you want to assess. Bai Zhengqi is just our assessment standard. Now none of us have become the direct disciples of the Patriarch. Instead, Bai Zhengqi has become your direct disciple. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" someone asked.
In this matter, Bai Zhengqi should have been just a foil, but now he has become the protagonist.
They had worked hard for a year just for this day, but the result seemed to have nothing to do with them. Naturally, they felt a little unhappy.
"You only know that Bai Zhengqi is your assessment standard, but do you know why he becomes your assessment standard?"
Cheng Yu knew that once he announced the news, many people would be dissatisfied. After all, they had really worked hard this year.
Now that they are not even qualified to participate in the third round of assessment, and then they accept Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple, it is normal for them to complain in their hearts.
However, he won't change anything because of it.
As the head of the family, he needs to give appropriate explanations to the disciples of the family to ensure fairness, but he must also maintain enough dignity.
If the disciple can always succeed in forcing the palace, then what is the meaning of his existence as the head of the family?
"This... is because his strength has improved very much and he has cultivated his skills to the fifth level!" After everyone thought for a while, someone said.
"This is just the surface you see. Before I choose him to become your standard, I have already evaluated him.
As you can imagine, Bai Zhengqi passed my assessment. At least I am very satisfied with his performance. What do you think? "Cheng Yu said to these people.
"I think the head of the family's statement is a bit too one-sided. If we only look at the speed of cultivation, we may not be as good as Bai Zhengqi. But in terms of strength, we don't have a chance to play, and we may not be worse than Bai Zhengqi!" Someone said.
These strong people were eliminated by the family leader without a chance to play. Of course, they were not willing to accept such a result.
So no matter what, they still want to fight for themselves. What if the family owner agrees to give them this opportunity again?
"If you want to prove your strength to me, I don't think you need to worry, because the Cheng family's annual competition will start soon.
But if you want to become my direct disciple, then what you are saying now is unqualified. Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"I wonder what the master of the house means?" the man asked doubtfully.
"I have told you before that the second round of assessment is not really a test of strength, but a test of your character.
If I want to select a strong disciple, why go to so much trouble? I can just choose it during the Cheng family's big competition or small competition?
In my opinion, a person's character is more important than his strength. At least the direct disciple I want must satisfy me in terms of character.
It's the same reason as you clearly haven't reached the fifth level of cultivation, but I still let you pass the test.
Because compared to these, I care more about a person's character.
Otherwise, based on strength alone, with the current state of our Cheng family, countless powerful people will become my direct disciples every year. Can I accept them?
But in fact, I use Bai Zhengqi as the assessment standard. If I really just want to eliminate you, I have enough reasons to eliminate all of you based on the cultivation of skills alone. Why bother to go to the second round? And what about the third round of assessment?
So now do you understand where you failed? "Cheng Yu said to these unwilling disciples.
"Got it!" After receiving this explanation from the family leader, those who originally wanted to get a chance for themselves were immediately discouraged.
Now the head of the family has explained clearly enough, but they really have no reason to refute.
Especially when the head of the family said that if he really wanted to eliminate them, just practicing the techniques alone would be enough to eliminate them all.
Indeed, Bai Zhengqi has cultivated his skills to the fifth level, and he serves as their assessment standard. To put it bluntly, if he fails to meet this standard, he has failed the assessment.
So they really don't have the face to defend themselves.
As for the second round of assessment, although they did not understand the true purpose of the assessment of the family leader, they also blamed themselves for being too scheming, thinking that they could take advantage of others.
Unexpectedly, no one got the advantage in the end. Instead, Ye Wen and Sun Qiao, who appeared first, got the biggest advantage.
"Then do you have anything else to say about me accepting Bai Zhengqi as my direct disciple?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Master, I have another question to ask!" A disciple from the crowd stood up and said.
"Just ask!"
"This time we have all disappointed the Patriarch and failed to become the Patriarch's direct disciples. Will we still have this opportunity in the future?" the man asked.
In fact, his question revealed the thoughts of everyone present.
If the master wants to accept Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple, can they still be able to stop him?
Of course it's impossible!
Now that the head of the family will accept Bai Zhengqi as his direct disciple has become a certainty, what reason do they have to stop it?
And whether they stop it or not is also other people's business. Now they are more concerned about their own interests.
What they fear most is that this time the family leader has been disappointed with them and failed to select them, then they will never have a chance.
"Of course, I believe that after this assessment, you will grow more. I also believe that when I come to assess you next time, you will be even better.
But you also need to understand that my assessment of you is not static, and the next assessment will be more difficult.
So I told you before, I don’t need you to regard becoming my direct disciple as the purpose of your practice, and this is definitely not the end of your practice.
You still have a long way to go, and your world is also very vast. It is not just the world of cultivation, it is even as big as the human world. In the future, you will ascend to the fairy world, and that is where you really need to show yourselves. I hope you can Look further! "Cheng Yu said looking at these people.
"Can we all really ascend to the immortal world?" But some people are confused.
The fairy world is such a desirable place, but they also know that not everyone can ascend to the fairy world.
Throughout the ages, every monk has regarded ascending to the immortal world as the purpose of his practice.
But how many people can truly ascend to the immortal world? Most people died on this road.
"Why not? That's why you have to work harder to practice. The human world is just a very short resting place for you." Cheng Yu encouraged.
"Thanks to the Patriarch for your guidance, we will definitely work hard, but before that, I still hope to become the Patriarch's direct disciple.
I think if you can't even achieve this, let alone ascending to the fairyland! "The person who asked the question before said firmly.
