Chapter 7: Are You Willing to Be My Disciple?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What?

Elder Xuan actually wanted this trash who couldn’t even activate the stone tablet?

The disciples present were extremely shocked.

If Elder Xuan was a divine figure from the heavens, then Bai Weiwei was an ant on the ground.

The difference between the two was so great that it was impossible for people to connect them together.

However, such a thing had indeed happened. Moreover, Elder Xuan had said it in front of everyone.

They were astonished. Some female disciples were crazy with jealousy.

Yeah, jealousy!

Why on earth could Bai Weiwei gain elder Xuan’s favor? Her strength was so low and her talent was mediocre. How was she worthy of Elder Xuan Yi’s approval?

But the disciples did not dare to question the elder.

The higher-ups on the stage were confused, especially Qing Xuzi. He had asked Xuan Yi to host this assembly because he valued Xuan Yi’s great talent. However, the assessment had not ended yet, and he was already recruiting disciples so arbitrarily. Furthermore, he had taken in an ordinary disciple with such low talent and strength.

What puzzled him even more was that Xuan Yi had actually taken in this disciple in front of the great sect masters of the south domain. It would be like telling everyone that the Profound Sword Sect was blind in selecting disciples and there would be no future for the sect.

Hence, he immediately opened his eyes and frowned, “Elder Xuan, what… what do you mean by this?”

Xuan Yi said calmly, “Sect master, you have already handed over the leadership of this assembly to me. If you believe me, then you have nothing to worry about.”

Seeing Xuan Yi so calm, the sect master felt a bit better.

However, there was still worry in his eyes.

At this moment, Ma Liang and Elder Ma got worried.

If Xuan Yi insisted on taking Bai Weiwei in, then their plan of getting rid of Bai Weiwei would fall through.

They could only brace themselves and face Xuan Yi.

“Elder Xuan, you are a Law Enforcement Elder. Why did you stop me from enforcing the law? Are you going to stop the assembly from going on?” Elder Ma said in a grave voice.

“Stop the assembly from going on? The sect master has placed the authority of the assembly in my hands. Elder Ma, aren’t you going too far?” Xuan Yi looked indifferent, and so was his voice.

Seeing that the two elders of the Profound Sword Sect were arguing, people from the other sects became interested. They loved to see a good show.

After all, if there was an internal conflict in the Profound Sword Sect, it would be a great thing for the other sects.

“Elder Xuan, this disciple is not only weak, but she also dared to cheat in front of everyone. We can’t ignore such a thing.” After being rebuked, Ma Wuliang’s tone became unfriendly.

“This kind of cheating behavior is unacceptable in any sect. If she is not punished, then our sect will become a joke among the top 100 sects of the south domain.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Elder Ma is right.”

Ma Liang quickly added, “Bai Weiwei used her blood essence to activate the secret technique. It was cheating. This is unfair to the other disciples! Elder Ma is impartial. He directly pointed out her inappropriate behavior. He set a role model for us. We’ll learn from Elder Ma, so that everyone in our sect will be fair and just.”

He hadn’t expected that Xuan Yi would suddenly take in Bai Weiwei as his disciple, but if he could mobilize other disciples to pressure Elder Xuan, Elder Ma could definitely destroy Bai Weiwei’s cultivation strength.

Hearing his words, even though Xuan Yi had a high status among the disciples, a few disciples began to question Xuan Yi.

“Yes, this is unfair to us.”

“Elder Xuan, you are fair and just. You must not let the cheater get away with it.”

“I hope that Elder Xuan will think twice and follow the rules of the sect.”

“That’s right. I support Elder Ma to kill this useless woman.”

“I also support it.”

…

More and more disciples began to protest.

Seeing the atmosphere was right for his plan, Ma Wuliang injected spirit energy into his voice and shouted, “Elder Xuan, the Profound Sword Sect has come a long way by following the rules and punishing those who are in the wrong. It has a history of more than three thousand years and its rules can not be violated just because of this insignificant disciple. If we don’t punish her, it will affect the foundation of our sect. Think about it, if a thousand-year-old sect loses its soul, how can it stand in the world?!”

Ma Wuliang’s voice was not loud, but infused with spirit energy, it could be heard by everyone present.

The elders and higher-ups on the stage were moved by his words.

They were even more confused by Xuan Yi’s action.

“Elder Xuan, it’s not a decision you can make by yourself. All of us have a say in it,” the First Elder said in a grave voice.

“That’s right, Elder Xuan. We all know that it’s difficult to advance to the next level from the Law Enforcement Realm. Only when we work together can we make a difference. So you can’t act so impulsively.” The Second Elder also agreed with Elder Ma.

“I say, Elder Xuan, the sect master handed the leadership to you because he hoped that you would select a peerless genius instead of a useless disciple who can’t even activate the stone tablet with her blood essence. It’s still not too late for you to take back your words. I believe that the sect master won’t blame you,” the Third Elder said with a frown.

However, even though so many people were questioning Xuan Yi, his expression did not change at all.

He had a faint but calm smile on his lips.

A gentle breeze blew at the hem of his robe, and his black hair danced freely in it.

Xuan Yi flew down from the stage and landed beside Bai Weiwei.

His elegance fascinated Bai Weiwei as she lay on the ground of the martial arts practice field.

He was a peerless genius, and he had a style that no one could copy.

Bai Weiwei knew that she was finished, so she did not dare to hope that Xuan Yi would violate the sect’s rules for her.

She coughed lightly, and blood spilled out from a corner of her mouth. She said weakly, “Elder Xuan, I thank you for your mercy, but I’m done… Please don’t…”

Before she could finish, Xuan Yi bent down and lifted Bai Weiwei up into his arms.

His voice was extremely gentle as he asked, “Are you willing to become my disciple?”
