Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

8. Master Honoring III

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

Nan Chen jerked to the front of Murong Chi.

Without knowing what had happened, Murong Chi found himself lying on the ground, feeling a sharp pain in the chest.

Nan Chen retracted his foot and looked at Murong Chi condescendingly, “Do you want to compete once more?”

Murong Chi put his hands over his aching chest, stood up and didn’t say anything.

“Now, I announce that Nan Chen defeated Murong Chi.”

Murong Chi didn’t say anything this time. After the competition just now, he knew that he had no chance to win Nan Chen today in any way.

“The competition is over, and now I’ll announce the ranking.”

“The first place goes for Nan Chen.”

“The second place goes for Murong Chi.”

“The third place goes for …”

…

“Now, the Master Honoring Ceremony will be held.”

Qing Yangzi stepped down and stood in front of Nan Chen, “According to the rules, the first place can choose his own master. Who do you want to honor as your master?”

Nan Chen clenched his hand and endured the outrageous hatred. Not until he felt a sharp pain coming from his palms did he go to Zhuo Hua, “I would like to honor Zhuo Hua as my master.”

“Ha ha ha ha…” The short-tempered Elder Qing Mu laughed, “Little boy, you’d better change someone to be your master. Zhuo Hua has never received a disciple.”

Qing Yangzi raised his hand and said, “Hey, Elder Qing Mu, you are wrong. Who said that Senior Brother never accept disciples? This time, I tried my best, and Senior Brother finally agreed to admit a disciple.”

Before Elder Qing Mu could speak again, Qing Yangzi had turned and looked at Zhuo Hua, “Senior Brother, I wonder if you are satisfied with this disciple?”

“He won the first place, so he can choose his own master. Even I can’t break the rules of the Sect.”

Zhuo Hua said flatly.

“And, I also want to accept this disciple.”

“That would be great.” Qing Yangzi laughed.

Then he raised his chin at Nan Chen, “Hurry up to honor your master.”

Nan Chen gave a respectful bow to Zhuo Hua, “Master.”

“Hm,” Zhuo Hua answered.

Then it was Qing Yangzi’s turn to choose the disciples.

Murong Chi was very proud in his heart. ‘Even if I didn’t take the first place, I’m still the second place, so the Sect Leader and the Elders would be eager to be my master. Who should I choose as my master? It’s really difficult.’

Qing Yangzi stopped in front of Murong Chi, and Murong Chi showed a smile. However, he didn’t expect Qing Yangzi to continue walking towards his back. His eyes widened, ‘Why did he bypass me?’

“Little girl, what’s your name?” Qing Yangzi came up to the girl who had spoken just now and said.

Looking at Qing Yangzi, Liu Xia was surprised.

She didn’t know why Qing Yangzi would ask her name.

‘For any reason, I should answer the Sect Leader’s question.’

“Distinguished Sect Leader, I am Liu Xia.”

“Would you like to be my disciple?” Qing Yangzi continued asking her.

“But, my, my scores…” Liu Xia hesitated.

“Don’t worry about your scores. Just tell me if you want to be my disciple.” Qing Yangzi looked into her eyes.

“Yes, I do!” Liu Xia answered loudly.

Liu Xia gave a bow to him, “Master.”

“Hm,” Qing Yangzi nodded.

Qing Yangzi had been satisfied with Murong Chi at first, but he let him down during the competition.

He thought Murong Chi had been unstable in mind and needed to be trained. However, it seemed that training was not enough for him, so he might as well go to the outside part of the Sect for a period of time.

After the choice of the Sect Leader, it was the Elders’ turn.

Murong Chi thought that even if the Sect Leader didn’t accept him as a disciple, the Elders wouldn’t neglect him, a rising star.

But who were the Elders? They were geezers who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. They caught on the thought of the Sect Leader when he had made his decision. Besides, they also didn’t like Murong Chi’s disposition.

Thus, all the Elders ignored Murong Chi when choosing disciples.

When the Elders finished, Murong Chi still stood there.

Noticing the Elders had finished choosing their disciples, Qing Yun stood up and said, “The inner disciples have been confirmed, and the rest of you will follow me to the outer part of the Sect. I will then arrange tasks for you.”

“Wait,” Murong Chi suddenly spoke up, “May I ask the Sect Leader, why should I go to the outside part of the Sect since I had won the second place in the competition?”

‘I’m not convinced.’

“The Muyang Temple admits disciples, measuring not only one’s talent, but also his or her disposition. Who told you that the second place would definitely enter the inner part of the Sect? And the last one cannot enter the inner part for sure?”

“I…” Murong Chi was speechless.

When Murong Chi left, he glared at Nan Chen maliciously, ‘I will definitely take my revenge on you.’
