PFC Chapter 15 Joining Misty Peak, Sun Qian is up to her old tricks again!
Chapter 15 Joining Misty Peak, Sun Qian is up to her old tricks again!
Xia Gucheng stretched and yawned, completely disregarding his image.
The elders and peak masters present were speechless and embarrassed.
"So you're the one who wants to become my disciple?"
Xia Gucheng lazily opened his eyes and looked at Li Wudao, his tone full of interest: "Tell me, why did you choose to become my disciple?"
"I feel... I get along with you quite well, you have a kind face."
Li Wudao stammered.
He couldn't possibly reveal the real reason.
Xia Gucheng shook his head slightly, "I have never taken on any apprentices before and have no experience. You should find someone else."
"No, please..."
Li Wudao got anxious and started rambling, "Actually, I'm used to being lazy and don't like being constrained. The competition at other peaks is too intense and not suitable for me. I prefer peace and quiet."
"Besides, I usually like to drink and listen to music, which can easily influence the atmosphere of other peaks, so I prefer to enjoy my freedom on my own."
He suddenly remembered the recent events mentioned by the system, and a thought struck him.
This kid.......
The sect's high-ranking members turned pale upon hearing this. This young man looked harmless, but they never expected him to be so frivolous.
The newly appointed disciples were speechless, their expressions twitching slightly.
Is this guy really second on the list?
Are you sure he's not a dissolute playboy who frequents brothels?
Jiang Churan was also stunned, her big eyes blinking.
What's Li Wudao up to now?
With her intelligence, she could naturally tell that the other party really wanted to become Xia Gucheng's disciple.
As far as she knew, this Peak Master Xia did not like cultivation; to put it more nicely, he was fond of nature and enjoyed a carefree life.
To put it bluntly, he spent his days either drinking heavily and sleeping soundly, or indulging in music and entertainment at brothels.
His reputation among the sect's higher-ups is not good.
However, Xia Gucheng was personally invited by the Supreme Elder to serve as the Peak Master, and his origins were mysterious.
Therefore, the other peak masters and elders are very wary of them and will not easily provoke them.
In her previous life, she had never seen Xia Gucheng make a move until she left the Xuantian Sect. She had only heard snippets of information from others, and her strength was still unknown.
"Oh? You like to drink?"
Xia Gucheng seemed to have become somewhat interested.
"Yes, yes, we can't have fun without alcohol. We feel uncomfortable if we don't drink for a day."
Li Wudao made a fuss about it.
He does drink, but not to the point of being addicted.
But for now, we can only cater to their preferences.
Upon hearing this, Xia Gucheng remained silent for a while.
"You're quite something..."
He stared at Li Wudao, his eyes, seemingly clear yet murky, appearing to see right through people's hearts.
"The old man might consider taking you as a disciple, but you won't have any of the benefits that other peaks offer. You'll have to earn all your cultivation resources yourself from now on. Would you still accept that?"
Xia Gucheng's tone became slightly tense.
"This disciple accepts."
Li Wudao nodded in agreement without changing his expression.
Other peak masters may have abundant resources, but they may not be able to compare with him.
Putting aside everything else, the Martial Emperor's Heart Sutra and the hundredfold comprehension alone are things that the Xuantian Sect cannot possess.
He wanted to become stronger, and he never intended to rely on the sect, but rather on the destiny of heaven.
"Alright, in that case, you will be my eldest disciple from now on."
Xia Gucheng grinned, revealing a set of yellowed teeth.
Seeing that Li Wudao had completed the apprenticeship ceremony,
The other peak masters shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that such a promising talent had been wasted.
Left with no other choice, they had to settle for second best and select the remaining true disciples.
After much deliberation, only two people were chosen and fortunate enough to become disciples of the head monk.
The remaining five newly recruited disciples looked dejected and unhappy.
There is still a difference between a regular disciple and a peak master's disciple.
For a time, the disciples had different thoughts, and their joys and sorrows varied.
This also marks the end of the introductory ceremony.
"Next, I'd like to ask all the stewards to help the disciples check in. Alright, everyone, you may all leave now."
After Elder Wu finished speaking, he and the sect's senior members left one after another.
Outer and inner disciples can only register at the Inner Affairs Hall to arrange accommodation, and the accommodations vary, depending entirely on their abilities.
True disciples can reside on the main peak, possessing independent courtyards and halls, enjoying the most abundant spiritual energy, and always remaining superior to others.
Li Wudao couldn't help but sigh, the system of the major sects was indeed rigorous, with a clear hierarchy and a law of the jungle, which conformed to the laws of heaven and earth.
"Time to go, kid."
Suddenly, Xia Gucheng grabbed him by the back of his collar, lifted him into the air, and arrived in the sky in three steps.
"Where are we going? Fly slower, I'm afraid of heights..."
Li Wudao was like a sick chicken, listless and weak, and dared not look down at all.
He hadn't even said goodbye to the maid yet.
But never mind, since we're both true disciples, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to meet.
No matter what, Jiang Churan has to protect him this year; there will be plenty of opportunities.
Xia Gucheng soared through the air, covering hundreds of meters in an instant. The strong wind made the boy's mouth puff up, and his hairstyle, needless to say, was messier than a bird's nest.
The boy looked up and could vaguely see wisps of white clouds, at least a thousand meters above the ground. If he fell from there, he would surely be smashed to pieces.
"By the way, Master, I still don't know what our Seventh Peak is called."
Li Wudao shifted his attention.
"Piaomiao Peak".
Xia Gucheng said.
"......"
Li Wudao laughed, and suddenly he wasn't so afraid of heights anymore.
He simply couldn't associate the word "ethereal" with his slovenly master.
It doesn't feel as fitting as "Salted Fish Peak".
at the same time.
In the square, Sun Qian and several disciples of the Sun family looked worried.
They had planned to apologize to Li Wudao after the initiation ceremony and try to restore their previous relationship.
However, the latter was taken away directly by Peak Master Xia, and the others could only watch helplessly.
"It's okay, we can do it another time if we have the chance."
The group comforted Sun Qian.
Sun Qian bit her lip tightly, her face turning pale.
She felt resentful, humiliated, and unable to accept it all.
In the past, Li Wudao was just a good-for-nothing, and anyone could ride roughshod over him.
But now that the other party has become a true disciple, she can no longer bully him at will.
Forget about avenging the previous slap; if we're not careful, the entire Sun family could be buried with us.
In just a few days, what I have witnessed feels like a dream, so unreal.
Just as Sun Qian was in a daze,
Several young figures walked over from not far away.
"Qianqian, what are you daydreaming about?"
A long-faced man stepped forward and asked kindly.
The newcomer was none other than Ruan Fei, who had previously appeared at the Li family's residence.
He was the son of the third elder of the Xuantian Sect. Upon hearing that Sun Qian had finished her assessment, he immediately came to celebrate.
"Senior Brother Ruan, what brings you here...?"
Seeing him made Sun Qian feel a little better.
“You seem a bit off. Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you.”
Ruan Fei noticed Sun Qian's red eyes and immediately realized something.
Sun Qian sobbed for a moment, but still shook her head, "It's nothing, just a little grievance, not worth mentioning."
At this moment, several disciples of the Sun family stood up and spoke out in defense of Sun Qian.
After some embellishment, Ruan Fei understood the whole story.
"I can't believe that piece of trash actually dared to come to the sect, and even dared to slap you. He really doesn't take me seriously!"
Ruan Fei frowned, his tone angry.
He never expected that the ant he had ignored that day would transform into a true disciple after only a few days.
"Let's forget it, Senior Brother Ruan. Li Wudao is now a true disciple. There's no need for me to offend him. It's not worth it... I'm fine."
Sun Qian wiped away her tears with one hand, her face streaked with tears, a sight that evoked pity and stirred feelings of compassion in the heart.
Seeing this scene,
Ruan Fei's heart melted instantly, and his hatred for Li Wudao reached its peak.
He turned to look at the people behind him, his gaze landing on the two people at the front.
"Brother Tang, Brother Deng, you two have to help your brother out in this matter."
Ruan Fei's eyes were filled with resentment as he gritted his teeth and said, "If we can teach that kid a painful lesson, I'll cover both of your salaries for half a year!"
In order to avenge Sun Qian, he had no choice but to ask his true disciple for help.
The true disciple receives a monthly stipend of 500 low-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to giving up 6000 low-grade spirit stones.
Even though he was the son of the third elder of the inner sect, he still suffered a huge loss.
"Since Junior Brother Ruan has spoken, we brothers can't back down. What can a mere new disciple do to cause trouble?"
“That’s right, you can leave this matter to us. We’ll make sure that new disciple suffers a terrible defeat.”
Tang Yi and Deng Lin patted their chests confidently.
"Thank you both, senior brothers."
Sun Qian bowed, her beautiful face captivating the two disciples, who secretly swallowed.
No wonder Ruan Fei was so angry for the sake of a woman.
With Sun Qian's looks, she would be considered a top-tier beauty even within the entire Xuantian Sect.
Ruan Fei and his group arrived quickly and left just as quickly.
Because of Li Wudao, the group was in a hurry to go back and discuss countermeasures, intending to thoroughly dampen the former's arrogance.
Sun Qian watched Ruan Fei and the others' retreating figures, a barely perceptible sneer appearing on her lips.
She never expected that after all the difficulties, she would find a way out and that Ruan Fei, an inner disciple, could actually persuade two true disciples to come to his aid.
In this way, she wouldn't have to lower herself and grovel to apologize.
"Li Wudao, so what if you've become a true disciple? I can still command true disciples. I haven't lost yet. We'll see..."
