“Sorry, Jin Fengzhu, I… don’t really want to go to the First Peak.”
Xu Taiping didn’t hesitate much and directly rejected the Peak Master of the First Peak.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yue’s mouth twitched, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. However, immediately after, he looked at Xu Taiping with a smiling face again and said:
Which peak you choose is your freedom, Taiping, and it is also the rule of our Qingxuan Sect.
When saying this, he casually glanced at Ninth Uncle.
If it weren’t for Ninth Uncle’s presence, how could he be so polite to Xu Taiping? He would probably have flicked his sleeves and left on the spot.
And after seeing Xu Taiping reject the First Peak, the other peaks all perked up again and looked at Xu Taiping expectantly.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping wanted to scratch his head again.
I…
Wait a minute.
Just as he was about to tell these people that he only wanted to go to the Seventh Peak, he was unexpectedly interrupted by Ninth Uncle beside him.
Little guy, I’ll give you another choice.
Ninth Uncle drank the wine in the gourd in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
Nine…Grand-uncle, you speak.
Xu Taiping was a little curious about what Ninth Uncle wanted to say.
You brat, although your bone structure is a bit inferior and your appearance is not as handsome as I was when I was young, but based on your performance in today’s sword-questioning, I can reluctantly accept you as my closed-door disciple.
While picking his ear with his little finger, Ninth Uncle said as if nothing had happened.
And just such an understated sentence made the entire arena, both inside and outside, boil over in an instant.
“What, did I hear that wrong? Uncle-grandmaster wants to accept a disciple?”
“No way, Uncle-grandmaster hasn’t accepted a disciple in over a hundred years.”
The people both on and off the stage were all discussing for a while.
The Zhou Sect Leader finally couldn’t hold back at this time.
“Little Martial Uncle, you want to accept a disciple here?”
He took a step forward and asked Ninth Uncle.
Although when speaking, he was trying his best maintaining his composure, but the eyes full of confusion and shock still betrayed him.
“Can’t I?”
Ninth Uncle coldly glared at the Zhou Sect Leader.
“This… this is a bit too abrupt, isn’t it? Your acceptance of a disciple is a major event for our sect and cannot be so a joke.
The Zhou Sect Leader persuaded.
Over the years, he had sent many disciples with good roots and bones to Ninth Uncle, hoping that they could inherit Ninth Uncle’s swordsmanship, but none of them caught Ninth Uncle’s eye.
And among them was Ye Xuan, who was being supported by Jin Hezhi at the moment.
“Pfft!”
Hearing that Ninth Uncle wanted to accept Xu Taiping as a disciple, Ye Xuan, who was already furious and had difficulty calming the qi and blood in his heart, finally couldn’t help but vomit blood in anger.
Seeing this, Jin Hezhi shook his head and immediately took him away from the ring.
“YousayI’m a joke?”
After listening to the persuasion of the Zhou Sect Leader, Ninth Uncle put down the wine gourd and stared at the Zhou Sect Leader and asked.
Just one look made the Zhou Sect Leader silent as a cicada in winter, breaking out in a cold sweat and not daring to say another word.
“Little fellow, if you become my apprentice, I dare not guarantee anything else, but at least all my lifelong learning will be imparted to you without reservation.”
Uncle Nine then looked at Xu Taiping with a smile again.
These words made the hearts of all the peak masters tremble again.
The words “impart without reservation” might not be a big deal if said by others, but when they came out of Uncle Nine’s mouth, their weight was enough to make these seven long-established peak masters envy.
Who is Uncle Nine?
In the eyes of ordinary people, he may just be a senior with an extremely high seniority in the sect.
But in the eyes of these seven people, Uncle Nine is not just as simple as having a high seniority.
Uncle Nine, named Jian Jiu, with the daoist name Daoxuan, is the only existence among the nine immortal mansions in this world who once dared to fight against the Demon Lord and seriously injured him.
Although that was something Uncle Nine did when he was young.
But the seven people who witnessed this scene still believed that the long sword in Uncle Nine’s sheath could still slay demons.
So it can be imagined how heavy the words “impart without reservation” are when said by Uncle Nine.
Seeing this, all seven of them took a step back and stopped talking.
In front of Uncle Nine, they had no chance of winning.
Seeing the seven peak masters take the initiative to step back, the uproar in the audience suddenly stopped, and the eyes of all the people looked at Xu Taiping again.
Including that Ninth Uncle.
Including Zhao Linglong on the viewing platform of Cloud Tower.
Actually, Zhao Linglong, like the seven peak masters, felt that after Ninth Uncle came out, it was self-evident who Xu Taiping would choose, but in the end, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.
“Hmm…”
Xu Taiping was indeed a bit Dilemma at this time.
However, what Dilemma him was not how to choose, but how to reject Ninth Uncle.
That’s right, for him, which peak to go to and who to worship as a teacher, he already had the answer when he went up the mountain.
“Grand-uncle, the reason I can stand here today is thanks to Qingxiao senior brother and Linglong senior sister of the Seventh Peak who led me up the mountain back then. And three years ago, I had an appointment with Qingxiao senior brother and Linglong senior sister of the Seventh Peak that I would become an official disciple went through the Seventh Peak selection for three years later and climbed the Seventh Peak.
After seriously thinking about it for a while, Xu Taiping replied to Ninth Uncle very solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, there was another outcry throughout the venue.
No one expected that Xu Taiping would actually reject Ninth Uncle.
After hearing these words, Zhao Linglong was even more stood there in disbelief, and then with a somewhat blank look. she confirmed to the senior sister Ziyan beside her and said:
“Senior sister Ziyan, I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”
Xu Ziyan was also stunned at this time, and then nodded with a smile and said:
“You didn’t hear wrong. Taiping said he is going to your Seventh Peak.”
And Qingxiao, who was standing beside Xu Taiping, was also initially look astonished, but then he quickly reminded Xu Taiping in a low voice, “Taiping, don’t be stupid. That grand-uncle is willing to accept you as his disciple is a great opportunity!
Youdaoplaceholder0 Zhao Linglong, he was very clear about the weight of the successor of Ninth Uncle.
“I…”
“Hahaha!…”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to explain to Qingxiao, he was interrupted by Ninth Uncle’s hearty laughter.
“Little guy, this is just a test for you. Do you really think I, Lu Daoxuan, want to accept you, a mere white bone, as my disciple?”
Ninth Uncle gave Xu Taiping a look with a “you wish” expression, and then continued:
“However, your performance is not bad. You didn’t lose your original heart because of the external temptation. In the future, you can cultivate well in Qifeng.”
As he spoke, he patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and then turned around and left handsomely.
However, when turning around, he suddenly grimaced and muttered in a low voice that only he could hear:
“Damned brat, damned brat. It’s not easy for me to lose face and ask someone for help once, and you actually dare to reject me? No, no, I can’t lose this face. You wait, I must make you come and beg me to accept you as my disciple!”
