Chen Mu felt relaxed after sleeping for the entire night.
Outside the residential area, the other new disciples were already discussing the Entrance Competition, but he was not in the mood to participate.
Calculating the time, Zhou Jinglei should have woken up by now.
This matter was not over yet. He still had to wrap things up, or else there would be hidden threats.
After leaving the residential area, Chen Mu headed straight for the mountain gate.
Yesterday, when that elder brought him to the residential area, he had 'inadvertently' revealed his identity as the First Elder. Moreover, he had hinted that the Sect Leader was not involved in the sect's matters, and that the First Elder was the person with the greatest authority in the Azure Yang Sect.
In the end, he even intentionally or unintentionally expressed that he would leave the sect every morning for matters that he had to attend to for the next few days.
In other words, if Chen Mu needed anything, he could wait for him at the mountain gate.
...
Chen Mu waited silently for the First Elder to appear near the mountain gate.
...
On the other side, within the sect.
Zhang Yan soon received a report from the deacon of the residential area and learned that Chen Mu had gone near the mountain gate.
This made him rather conflicted.
After yesterday's discussion, they had already formulated a series of cultivation plans.
One of them was to keep a distance from Chen Mu!
At least on the surface, he had to look like an ordinary Outer Sect disciple!
However…
He had already hinted at it yesterday.
Would it be inappropriate if he went back on his word today?
"One last time! One last time!" Zhang Yan quietly warned himself before flying towards the entrance of the Azure Yang Sect.
...
A moment later, Chen Mu spotted Zhang Yan, who was about to "leave the sect for business". Without a word, he immediately went forward.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he said coldly, "It's you? What is it?"
Chen Mu did not know what the First Elder was up to when he saw that the elder had returned to his usual solemn self.
But he had to explain the situation.
After a momentary pause, he explained with some embarrassment, "First Elder, it's like this."
"On the way to the Azure Yang Sect, I met someone."
"Like me, he was delayed by some accident."
"Due to his guilt, he had planned to return and come back next year."
"Back then, I told him that the Azure Yang Sect is definitely a sect with great tolerance. As long as we are sincere, the Azure Yang Sect will definitely accept us."
"But he did not believe it."
"Finally, this disciple made an agreement with him. I would first come to the Azure Yang Sect. If I did not return, it meant that the Azure Yang Sect had accepted me."
"At that time, he would also come to the Azure Yang Sect as well."
"If I am made to leave, then we'll leave together and come back next year."
"First Elder, you are broad-minded. You allowed me to enter the Azure Yang Sect. He should be coming soon. I am here waiting for him to come… I wonder if First Elder can allow him to join our Azure Yang Sect?"
After saying that, Chen Mu silently thanked the brother who had returned halfway through the Immortal Seeking Path.
Thanks to him for the inspiration he provided, Chen Mu had already scammed two people.
Zhang Yan felt a headache.
It was fine if Chen Mu had entered the sect a day later. After all, he was someone destined to face the calamity.
But this new guy wanted to join the sect after being late for two days?
Did he really think that the Azure Yang Sect was a sect that he could enter as he wished?
What?
Great tolerance?
Fine!
I'll give you face!
As long as that person had a spiritual root, he would be allowed to enter the sect.
However, this was the last time!
With these thoughts in his heart, Zhang Yan agreed, "This is a small matter. As long as he is sincere, my Azure Yang Sect will definitely accept him. Even if you don't tell me, the other elders in the sect will also take him in."
As he said that, he looked towards the sect and grumbled softly, "Junior Sister Shui is really dilly-dallying every time she goes out to do something."
"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while today. "
After saying that, he looked at Chen Mu. Seeing that Chen Mu's expression was normal, he felt relieved.
There was no helping it, he had to wait here with Chen Mu.
If he did not wait here, if that scoundrel who was late by two days came and met the other deacons or disciples guarding the mountain, he would most likely be sent out.
If that happened, the Azure Yang Sect would no longer be as open-minded as it seemed.
However, he could not wait in the open. After all, he was the First Elder. How could he possibly wait for someone who was late by two days at the mountain gate?
Therefore, he could only pin this on Junior Sister Shui.
When Chen Mu heard this, he secretly felt worried for the First Elder.
First Elder, you can do it!
Don't let me see any flaws!
Don't let me know that you're treating me differently!
...
The two of them waited silently.
In less than an hour, a figure appeared in the distance.
Zhang Yan took a glance and did not forget to grumble at the same time, "Junior Sister Shui is really outrageous! She's already an hour late!"
When Chen Mu saw that it was Zhou Jinglei, he hurried forward and said, "My companion is here."
Zhang Yan nodded in a very casual manner.
...
Along the way, Zhou Jinglei had been thinking about how he could showcase his talent and make the Azure Yang Sect accept him.
As long as the Azure Yang Sect gave him a chance to display his talent, he was not afraid of not being able to join the sect.
He was afraid that the Azure Yang Sect would tell him to scram without another word.
Seeing that he was about to reach the entrance of the Azure Yang Sect, he began to feel nervous.
However, just as he raised his head to look at the entrance of the Azure Yang Sect, two figures entered his sight.
As they were very far away from him, it was impossible to see their faces clearly.
However, one of them was tall and handsome, so he recognized Chen Mu immediately.
"Has he really entered the Azure Yang Sect? Is he waiting for me?" Zhou Jinglei thought of that as he immediately quickened his pace.
Gradually, he saw the two people clearly.
One of them was Chen Mu, who was smiling at him.
That smile was very similar to the smile of a host welcoming guests.
From the looks of it, he was indeed treating the Azure Yang Sect as his home.
As for the other person…
His expression was solemn and dignified.
Zhou Jinglei's heart skipped a beat as he concluded that this person's status in the Azure Yang Sect was definitely not low.
He was at least a deacon!
Ordinary disciples who had just entered the sect would find it very difficult to see such an existence, let alone bring a deacon here to welcome him…
At this moment, Zhou Jinglei started to believe it.
Chen Mu's talent was truly extraordinary!
Before he could speak, Chen Mu took the initiative to welcome him.
"Brother Zhou, you're finally here!"
"Come! Let me introduce you."
With that, Chen Mu pulled Zhou Jinglei to Zhang Yan.
"This is the First Elder of the Azure Yang Sect!"
What? First Elder!
Zhou Jinglei felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his body trembled violently!
Chen Mu had just entered the sect, and the First Elder was already waiting for him here?
This…
Was this something a disciple could do?
"Chen Mu has already told me about you. As long as you are sincere and have a spiritual root, I will naturally let you enter the sect."
"Our Azure Yang Sect is not that petty." Zhang Yan glanced at Zhou Jinglei and said calmly.
To be honest, the scoundrel who had been late for two days looked extraordinary.
What was his aptitude like?
"Junior Zhou Jinglei greets the First Elder." Zhou Jinglei bowed respectfully.
"Mm. Give me your hand." Zhang Yan was nonchalant, just like Qing Yangzi yesterday.
Zhou Jinglei knew that this First Elder wanted to check his own aptitude, so he did not dare to be negligent and immediately stretched out his hand.
Zhang Yan placed a finger on Zhou Jinglei's wrist, and the spiritual energy surged into his body.
A moment later, a thick earth spiritual energy returned.
Zhang Yan was shocked!
His earth spiritual root aptitude had reached the limit!
This was the…
Earth Spirit Physique!
If it was in the past, he would definitely be overjoyed to discover a youth with a spirit physique and would immediately welcome him into the sect to take him in as a personal disciple.
However, after experiencing so much recently, he had become numb.
In addition, Chen Mu was beside him.
He had to take note of his image!
Not to mention that Chen Mu's aptitude was average. If he was overjoyed when he saw someone with good aptitude, it would inevitably affect this ordinary youth.
Zhang Yan!
You are the first elder of the Azure Yang Sect!
What kind of situations have you not seen before!?
Stay firm!
Zhang Yan quickly stabilized himself and lightly praised, "Your aptitude is, well, not bad."
After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Mu and could not help but sigh.
As expected of the person destined to face the calamity!
He had only been here for a day and he had already brought in a spirit physique disciple for the Azure Yang Sect!
Was this the power of his immense luck?
If it was not for him, this spirit physique youth might not have come until next year. Who knew what would happen this year?
Lucky star!
Chen Mu was really the lucky star of the Azure Yang Sect!
It was a proven fact!
...
Zhou Jinglei also noticed the change in Zhang Yan's expression.
After checking his aptitude, this First Elder was surprised for a moment before giving him an evaluation of 'not bad'…
Shouldn't he be accepted as a personal disciple immediately?
This was a little different from what he had imagined.
Zhang Yan could not help but look at Chen Mu, and he immediately understood why.
It turned out that compared to a gem…
His Earth Spirit Physique could only be eclipsed!
No wonder the First Elder only gave him a 'not bad' evaluation.
At this moment, he was already 50-60% convinced by Chen Mu's words.
...
When Chen Mu saw that the two of them were shocked and imagining things, a rather innocent smile appeared on his face.
He thought to himself, 'All of this is just your imagination.'
'It has nothing to do with me!"
