"Who's speaking?"
Ye Chen turns around.
He sees a Daoist dressed in a purple robe, short and stout, with a kind and gentle face.
It's Daoist Yuanyi, the chairman of Tiandang Peak, who saved him twice just now!
"So it's Daoist Yuanyi!"
"Thank you, Daoist, for your timely rescue."
Ye Chen grits his teeth and bows.
He is indeed down on his luck now. If he were his usual self, he would never bow. People bow to him, not the other way around!
"Hahaha, it was just a small effort, no need to mention it."
Daoist Yuanyi still maintained his smile,"I wonder, would you like to join my Tiandang Peak and become my direct disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was first taken aback.
Then, a surge of joy erupted in his heart!
Heaven is indeed still favoring him, Ye Wudi!
Once he joins the Qinglan Sect, he will have a chance to kill Lin Xiao for revenge, and to find the one who stole his opportunity, to kill him with a single stroke!
With that in mind, Ye Chen clenched his fists, tempted by the prospect.
Suddenly, he grits his teeth, makes a decision that goes against his beliefs!
Thud!
He kneels down on both knees and performs a full kowtow!
"Disciple Ye Chen pays his respects to Master!"
I, Ye Chen, kneel today, not for anything else, but to prove that what I have lost, I will take back with my own hands!
A real man can bend and stretch! Today's shame, I will return it thousandfold in the future!
The youth in black lowered his head, trying to calm himself.
"You... Ye Chen! Although we have not formally become master and student, I have given you the chance to lead a fairy's life, imparted to you the martial arts, and never withheld anything! I have treated you as my student!"
"Now, you deign to bow down and recognize a lowly cultivator as your master. Do you still view me with respect!"
"How many masters do you intend to recognize in this lifetime!"
A dignified and indignant old voice emanated from the ring and entered Ye Chen's mind.
However, the youth in black paid it no attention!
He knew all too well.
This mysterious old guy in the ring maybe once formidable, but now he's just a remnant soul clinging onto life.
He simply cannot leave his host!
Since the two of them are in the same boat now, why should he care about a parasite's feelings?
"Hahaha, good disciple! Get up, get up!"
Seeing the youth's obedience, Daoist Yuanyi's chubby face trembled with laughter as he affectionately helped him get up, "I must admit, my dear disciple, I am proficient in hundred schools of techniques, especially face reading! The moment you appeared, I've already set my sights on you! You have the makings of an emperor!"
"Really, Master?"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He bowed again: "From today onwards, I am willing to serve and follow Master at all times!"
"What a letdown."
"Did I make a mistake? Could it be...the Son of Destiny is someone else?"
"Is it the mysterious person who usurped Ye Chen's opportunity and is hiding in the Qinglan Sect?"
In the vast space of the soul ring, an old man in a white robe with a floral beard stood with his hands behind his back. His wrinkled face was filled with regret.
...
...
"Tsk, an intermediate boss and the main character tangled up, this ridiculous case, is making me want to laugh."
"Well, the plot has already collapsed like this, so I can only play it by ear, sigh."
Lin Xiao, who was observing everything from the corner of his eyes, felt a thousand emotions.
The next second -
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on successfully recreating the main storyline! -
"You've earned a reward: Qinglan Law Sword x1 (it's been put in your storage space already. Note: Sealed 3/4, currently world's highest-ranked Immortal Sword. It contains boundless immortal power, at least half of the seal needs to be undone in order to activate it.)"
The system's reward notification sounded in his ear!
Lin Xiao's pupils contracted sharply, he almost fainted.
What the hell!
Isn't this Qinglan Law Sword the crucial prop that Ye Chen got mid-story from the forbidden area behind the mountain of Qinglan Sect?
In the original story, it was precisely through the immense power of this supreme Immortal Sword, which had half its seal undone, and combined with Xiao Hongling, that he was able to resist the joint invasion of the Eight Great Demon Sects!
How come it was suddenly forced into my hands?
"Forget it, the system is as stingy as ever, I can't get anything out of it."
"Let's not worry about it for the moment, seize the day! I'll probe a few more minor plot points, have some deep conversations with my three Junior Sisters, figure out the reality, and then make a decision!"
Lin Xiao grits his teeth.
...
...
It wasn't until late in the evening.
The once every three years Qinglan Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony was finally over.
In the end, Lin Xiao, as the eldest senior brother of the Divine Phoenix Peak, along with the several stewards and elders of his mountain, chose ten....no, a group of remarkable young girls and handed them to his Junior Sisters to take care of.
Why the Junior Sisters?
Isn't it obvious?
As a perverted and lecherous Eldest Senior Brother, there can only be one man in the Divine Phoenix Peak, and that's him, Lin Xiao!
Of course, the servants and Outer Sect disciples don't count.
After giving some instructions to his three Junior Sisters.
Lin Xiao directly steps into the teleportation array in the mountain gate and flickers to the Rainbow Bridge on Fairy Cliff.
One must be conscientious.
Tonight, he owes it to his Master to show his gratitude♂!
He has a hunch that the root of all the plot disruption may lie with his beautiful Master, who is peerless in both martial skills and appearance!
After all, that night's Sword Intent Baptism was not spontaneous!
It might be related to his duel with Ye Chen today!
"Could it be...she used some amazing divination technique, and calculated everything in advance?"
With this thought, Lin Xiao activated his True Yuan rapidly, increasing the speed of sword control.
Soon, he landed at the center of Fairy Cliff, near his beautiful master's cabin.
A light fragrance wafted out of the house, as usual.
"Xiao'er, you're here, do come in."
Just as Lin Xiao was hesitating whether he should knock first.
A gentle female voice emanated from inside the door.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Xiao pushes the door open to see a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a thin silk nightgown, holding a jar of fine wine, her long and slender white legs elegantly crossed, looking at him with a teasing smile.
There's also a tub filled with water and flower petals, from which spiritual energy is emanating, placed by the bed.
"You performed well today, and haven't disappointed me. Master...Hmm, decides to reward you!"
"Also, it's time to test your filial piety..."
Lin Xiao: ?
