Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qu Lanyi stroked his chin and sat there lazily. “Fifth Elder, thank you for thinking highly of me. However, I know that I’m too inexperienced to become your disciple. Please forgive me for declining your kind offer.”
Hearing this, the Fifth Elder suddenly glanced at Qu Lanyi. He only felt that this kid was a bit too handsome. Not only that, the temperament he emitted invisibly made him a bit breathless! The eyes of the Fifth Elder darkened. This kid wasn’t simple!
Yun Feng also understood in her mind that it was impossible for Qu Lanyi to acknowledge the Fifth Elder as his master, so she didn’t say anything. You Yue stood there tensely. After hearing what Qu Lanyi said, his heart suddenly sped up a lot. The Fifth Elder looked over. You Yue took a deep breath and said, “It’s my honor to be able to become the Fifth Elder’s disciple!”
The Fifth Elder sized You Yue up carefully. Compared to Qu Lanyi, You Yue seemed to have a more normal reaction. The younger generation should feel a bit nervous in front of the five elders. Who would be as comfortable as Qu Lanyi? He even directly rejected the Fifth Elder’s intention of accepting him a disciple!
“A Grade 4 warrior of the King Level, just barely…”
!!
You Yue stood there with a tense body and didn’t say a word. He only felt like he was being judged. Yun Feng sat on the side and didn’t say anything. She knew that this little old man wouldn’t be very satisfied in his mind, but he wouldn’t be too disappointed either. After all, a Grade 4 King was considered to have crossed the bottom requirement of the inner campus. This strength wasn’t too bad here. This little old man only wanted to complain a bit. He would definitely accept him.
“Since you’re this girl’s friend, even though your potential can’t compare to this girl’s, your personality shouldn’t be bad. You can’t be greedy on the road of cultivation. As long as you’re willing to work hard, you’ll definitely have some achievements. However, you must think carefully. I’m a summoner. I can’t guide you on the cultivation of warriors. Everything depends on your own hard work.”
You Yue immediately heaved a sigh of relief and joy surged in his heart. Now that he had successfully entered the Fifth Elder’s tutelage! He finally didn’t let Feng down!
“Yes, I understand!” You Yue shouted with confidence. The Fifth Elder burst into laughter. “Alright! Your personality isn’t bad. You’ll be my disciple from now on!”
“Thank you, Master.” Yun Feng smiled at the Fifth Elder, who immediately waved his hand. “No need to say that.”
Yun Feng carefully noticed that there was always a hint of sorrow and anger in the Fifth Elder’s words. She knew that the Fifth Elder must have something on his mind. “Master, it seems that you have something on your mind. I won’t disturb you anymore.” She got up and was about to say goodbye, but the Fifth Elder stopped Yun Feng. “Kid, wait a moment. I have something to tell you.”
Seeing that, Qu Lanyi and You Yue both glanced at Yun Feng. Yun Feng gave them a reassuring look and the two of them finally went out. Seeing that the two of them walk out, the Fifth Elder put on a worried look and sighed hard. Yun Feng couldn’t help but chuckle in her mind. This little old man didn’t want to tell her. It seemed that she had to take the initiative to ask. Alright, she would follow his lead.
“Master, is there something on your mind? Why don’t you tell me? Even though I’m not very experienced, I’ll do my best if I can help.”
Yun Feng saw the eyes of the Fifth Elder and knew that she was right. This little old man might have been waiting for this. “I’m really gratified. What you said is enough.”
“What exactly is it?”
“Speaking of this, I’m really having a headache. Kid, you know that the ranking contest of the inner campus is about to begin. This is the matter of the Juxing School itself, but it just has to involve the other two schools. How troublesome!” The Fifth Elder was indignant when he said this. Yun Feng couldn’t help but feel surprised after hearing that. The other two schools? Why was the internal ranking contest of the Juxing School related to the other two schools?
“In the Central Region, the three academies belong to the three islands. In terms of fame and strength, they’re on par. Even though the three academies are on the same level, everyone wants to see who’s the best. Juxing is the most low-profile one, much more stable than the other two. I don’t know who caused the trouble this time. They held a so-called friendly competition between the three academies. It’s said to be a friendly competition, but I think they’re going to fight for victory! Juxing Academy represents the floating island. If we end up in the third place, we won’t be able to get away with it. So, no matter how low-profile we are, we must participate in this competition.”
Yun Feng raised her brows. “So… the ranking contest of the inner campus this time has another meaning?”
“That’s right. The five of us just agreed that the top five of the inner campus ranking contest this time will represent the Juxing School in the championship!”
Yun Feng chuckled. “What’s your plan, Master?”
The face of the Fifth Elder suddenly trembled. “Kid, you must get the first place of the ranking contest this time.”
“Why? Didn’t Master never care about the ranking? Senior Brother Rong Xin said that even if he was at the bottom every time, Master never scolded him.”
The Fifth Elder suddenly clenched his fists tightly with a slightly depressed expression. “It’s different this time. The elder who’s the master of the champion of the ranking contest will participate in the competition with them. I have to go with you this time!”
Seeing the expression of the Fifth Elder, Yun Feng knew that there must be a reason why he was so obsessed with being the top. As for the reason, Yun Feng knew that she shouldn’t ask. This time, the Fifth Elder’s request was for her to return the favor of accepting her as his disciple. This way, even if she left in the future, the Fifth Elder would protect You Yue because of her efforts this time.
“Alright, Master, don’t worry. I’ll get the first place this time.” Yun Feng didn’t say anything. She only smiled lightly and made a promise calmly. The Fifth Elder knew how difficult it was to get the first place in the ranking contest this time. After all, the disciples of the other elders weren’t easy to deal with.
“Kid, it will be hard on you this time. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have had any hope.” The Fifth Elder sighed leisurely. Yun Feng smiled. “I’ll definitely do my best.”
The Fifth Elder chuckled and was relieved. “It shouldn’t be a problem for you to get first place. I’m confident.”
