"No, not a chance. You're my personal disciple. If you went around challenging Outer Disciples like a madman, what would that do to my image?" Yue Zifeng denied it immediately, giving Xue Bai an odd sense of deja vu.

"In the Training Pagoda on your peak, there are a few Sword Puppets with varying cultivation levels if you want to." Yue Zifeng said.
"But I'd rather fight something with sentience than some Sword Puppet." Xue Bai didn't relent.
However, Yue Zifeng just waved off Xue Bai and spoke mysteriously before kicking him out.
"Don't underestimate those puppets. They are much stronger than you think."
Xue Bai still didn't fully believe his Master, but since he couldn't do much about it, he could only leave and return back to his peak with dropped shoulders.
