"Considering your loyalty and righteousness, I will reluctantly agree to your request!" Li Beifei acted as if it was an incredibly difficult decision, but in reality, it wasn't that hard. Duanmu Yun was already someone he intended to take as a disciple, while Yi Jifeng was an unexpected bonus.
The group of elders looked at Li Beifei's reluctant appearance and praised in their hearts how their Sect Leader, despite being young, had acting skills that were even more mature than theirs. Their previous words had exaggerated things! Now, not only could they not beat the Sect Leader in a fight, but they couldn't even match his acting!
"Greetings, Master!"
Yi Jifeng led the bewildered Duanmu Yun to perform the disciple's apprenticeship ceremony towards Li Beifei.
Duanmu Yun still didn't know what was happening. She had just been wondering if she would be expelled from the sect, but now she had become the Sect Leader's disciple. The speed of this change was too fast for her to react.
Seeing that Duanmu Yun had become the Sect Leader's disciple because of Yi Jifeng, some young men and women were unconvinced. They could accept Yi Jifeng, but who was Duanmu Yun? She hadn't even been recognized by a spirit sword.
Especially the other ten talented young men and women who had been recognized by spirit swords, they all longed to become the Sect Leader's disciples. Now, seeing that Duanmu Yun had become the Sect Leader's disciple, they couldn't accept it at all.
They thought that even someone with Duanmu Yun's mediocre talent could become the Sect Leader's disciple, so their talent, which was much better than Duanmu Yun's, should definitely have a chance!
So these ten young men and women looked at Li Beifei with anticipation, but Li Beifei had no intention of taking any more disciples. He only brought Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun to his side.
Li Beifei looked at the bewildered Duanmu Yun and asked with a smile, "I told you we would meet again!"
"That...for..."
"Call me Master!"
"Master, I was wrong before. I didn't speak properly and offended you. I know I was wrong," Duanmu Yun quickly apologized for her previous words.
Li Beifei waved his hand and said, "Hey, I didn't take those things to heart."
Li Beifei's magnanimous appearance drew disdain from Xuan Mingzi and the others. He said he didn't take it to heart, but if Yi Jifeng hadn't interrupted his plan, he would have made her cry.
"Thank you, Master!" Duanmu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her hanging heart also relaxed.
Yi Jifeng, listening to their conversation, knew that his master was the person Duanmu Yun had met at the top of Flying Sword Mountain before.
"Senior Sister, I told you there was nothing to worry about," Yi Jifeng said to Duanmu Yun with a smile.
"Young Master, you..." Duanmu Yun was stunned by Yi Jifeng's sudden address as Senior Sister.
Li Beifei could also tell from their conversation that they should be master and servant before, but that was all in the past. Now, they were both his disciples, and there was no distinction between master and servant.
Li Beifei said, "Now that you are both my disciples, I don't care what your relationship was before. From now on, you are a senior sister and junior brother pair, understand?"
"Master, I..." Duanmu Yun was about to say that she wanted to be the junior sister, but Yi Jifeng said, "Understood, Master, I will definitely take good care of Senior Sister."
"You little rascal, do you think this is a wedding?" Li Beifei was amused by Yi Jifeng's words. He understood that this kid, despite his young age, was quite clever. He had to admit that he was inferior in the art of flirting.
Duanmu Yun's face turned red when she heard Yi Jifeng's words, even though she had been mentally prepared for it.
At this time, the group of elders, seeing that Li Beifei had no intention of taking any more disciples, began a verbal battle, introducing themselves one after another. They had observed this batch of seedlings, and although the remaining ten young men and women who had been recognized by spirit swords were not as strong as Yi Jifeng, they were still worthy of being called geniuses.
"Stop arguing, I want to take a disciple too!"
Xiao Tian stood up at this moment.
"Brother Xiao Tian, let's not join in the fun, okay?"
Sitting next to Xiao Tian was a beautiful woman with a bewitching look between her eyebrows and a hot, enchanting figure like a fox spirit. Many young men who were just beginning to experience love secretly glanced at her. She, like Xiao Tian, was also a demon, and she was indeed a fox spirit from the Snow Fox clan. Her cultivation was at the second level of Sainthood, the second highest cultivation in the field, only a small realm lower than Xiao Tian.
The reason she said not to join in the fun was because she and Xiao Tian were both demons. Born on Beichen Star, a major star of swordsmanship, they naturally understood swordsmanship, but compared to humans, their swordsmanship was really not worth mentioning, so she said that.
"Yes, Elder Xiao Tian, don't make trouble!"
Someone advised.
"No, everyone else has disciples, but I don't. Today, I must take one," Xiao Tian shook his head, determined to take one.
The group of elders was helpless and turned their attention to the Vice Sect Leader. The Sect Leader was chatting with his newly accepted disciples, so now they could only rely on the Vice Sect Leader to uphold justice.
Duan Fei was also helpless. He looked at Xiao Tian and asked, "Elder Xiao Tian, do you understand swordsmanship?"
Xiao Tian shook his head. He didn't understand. He always used his fists to fight. How could swordsmanship be as satisfying as punching to the flesh?
"Then why are you taking a disciple?" Duan Fei was dumbfounded.
The group of young men and women originally thought that this powerful Elder Xiao Tian was a swordsmanship master, but they didn't expect that he didn't understand swordsmanship. They were disappointed. They joined the Seven Stars Sword Sect to learn superior swordsmanship. If you don't know swordsmanship, wouldn't it be misleading to become your disciple?
Just as the group of young men and women were eliminating Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian said, "I don't know, but my dad does! My dad is a famous wolf clan Sword Saint. I don't know how to teach swordsmanship, but can't I let my dad teach?"
"This...Elder Xiao Tian, is it you taking a disciple or Old Ancestor Xiao Feng taking a disciple?" The elders on the side were all dumbfounded. You are taking a disciple, why did you bring out your Saint Father?
"Nonsense, of course I'm taking a disciple. Besides, my disciple is that old guy's grand-disciple. It's reasonable for him to give some pointers!" Xiao Tian said as a matter of course.
"Old guy? Where is he? Where is he?"
At this time, Li Beifei spoke.
In the clouds, Gu Changsheng's face darkened, while Hou Tu looked at Gu Changsheng teasingly.
This Little Li, he is a rare talent, at least in terms of angering this lazy ghost, it can be said to be unprecedented. Not bad, not bad!
"So you were talking about your old guy, hey, I thought you were talking about someone else, boring!" Li Beifei found out that Xiao Tian was talking about his old guy, and immediately felt bored, so he exited the group chat.
"Thump!"
Suddenly, Li Beifei slid down from his seat.
"Master, are you okay?"
Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun exclaimed and quickly helped Li Beifei.
"It's okay, it's okay, this stone chair is too slippery, too slippery," Li Beifei quickly said. Just now, he was kicked by someone.
"Eh, Master, why is there a shoe print on your back?" Duanmu Yun asked in confusion.
"Is there? You must have seen it wrong. Actually, this was deliberately put on by your master... You guys continue, I'll take these two little guys and leave first."
After speaking, Li Beifei left Ten Thousand Sword Peak with Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun.
"I feel like...the Sect Leader is a little...a little..."
"Embarrassed?" Duan Fei said.
That person nodded and said, "This is not what I said, you guys are witnesses, this is what the Vice Sect Leader said."
"..." Duan Fei.
In the clouds, Gu Changsheng said very relievedly, "Little brat, I'll write this down in my little notebook for you!"
"I understand why Little Li said he wanted you to kneel and sing 'Conquer'. You either get beaten or kicked by you every day. People with weaker minds would have had their Dao hearts collapse long ago," Hou Tu complained.
"Hehe, you don't understand, this kid, he just doesn't learn from his mistakes. Do you believe that when his cultivation reaches your realm, he will dare to point his sword at me?" Gu Changsheng asked with a chuckle.
"I believe that!" Hou Tu nodded. It was precisely because I believed it that I had high hopes for Little Li.
After Li Beifei left, the elders of Ten Thousand Sword Peak let go of their competition, leaving the group of young men and women dumbfounded. How could these high and mighty sect elders be like women haggling with the boss in the street?
Of course, after Xiao Tian threw out his Saint Father, some young men thought about joining his sect, but Xiao Tian thought about it and refused.
"I don't understand swordsmanship. Wouldn't it be misleading to take you as disciples? So, you should choose someone else!" Xiao Tian said.
These words left everyone speechless. That's not what you said just now!
However, after Xiao Tian and several other demon elders withdrew, the remaining ten young men and women who had been recognized by spirit swords were just divided up by the ten human elders, and although the elders who did not receive anyone were disappointed, they also focused their attention on the young men and women who had not been recognized by spirit swords.
People who have not been recognized by spirit swords may not necessarily be unable to become swordsmanship masters. These people had not been recognized by spirit swords before, but now they have become successful in cultivation, haven't they?
Nothing is absolute!
In the end, eight more young men and women were selected, crossed the threshold of outer disciples, and became the personal disciples of the elders, enjoying the same benefits as inner disciples. However, unlike ordinary inner disciples, they could get more resources in cultivation, after all, their masters were elders of the sect. The sect would not issue more resources, but their masters could give resources to their disciples.
This is the benefit of personal disciples.
The disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Sect are divided into three levels: outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples.
The cultivation of core disciples needs to be above the Life and Death Realm. Yang Fan, the senior brother of this sect, is the strongest core disciple.
At this point, the Seven Stars Sword Sect's disciple recruitment conference ended successfully, and the ten-year agreement was approaching.
...
After Li Beifei took Yi Jifeng and Duanmu Yun back to his courtyard, he divided two rooms for them to live in, and then took them to the mountain peak where Gu Changsheng lived in the back mountain.
"Master, what are you bringing us here for?" Yi Jifeng asked curiously.
"Bringing you here is naturally to meet your grandmaster. Remember, after seeing your grandmaster, your mouth must be sweet, say more nice things, as long as your grandmaster is happy, even if he shakes a leg hair down, it will benefit you for a lifetime."
In front of the gate of Gu Changsheng's courtyard, Li Beifei whispered to the two of them.
Yi Jifeng's eyes lit up when he heard that his master was going to take him to see his grandmaster. He said, "Master, is grandmaster that great man?"
"That great man?" Li Beifei was stunned. He didn't know that Gu Changsheng was respected by the world as "that great man" on Beichen Star because he was too mysterious.
"It's that great man who destroyed the Huang family in Zhongyuan City with a palm!" Yi Jifeng explained.
The corners of Li Beifei's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "I'll go, why does this old guy have such a mysterious title? That great man, I'll go!"
"Creak!"
At this time, the wooden door of the courtyard opened automatically.
"Master, the door opened by itself!" Duan Youyun pointed to the door that no one had opened and exclaimed.
Li Beifei was startled by Duanmu Yun's exclamation. He glared at Duanmu Yun and said, "You can't be surprised in front of your grandmaster."
"Oh oh!" Duanmu Yun nodded repeatedly.
Li Beifei took a deep breath, and then exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. To be honest, going in might mean getting beaten. Just now, he was scared by Duanmu Yun because he was apprehensive.
When Li Beifei led the two into the courtyard, he saw Gu Changsheng sitting in the pavilion drinking wine alone.
"Master!"
This time, Li Beifei honestly and respectfully called out to his master, and there were no slip-ups. After all, before coming in, he kept reminding himself not to mention those three words.
"Duanmu Yun, greetings, Grandmaster!"
"Yi Jifeng, greetings, Grandmaster!"
Duanmu Yun and Yi Jifeng gave Gu Changsheng a three-kneel and nine-kowtow salute.
"Get up, you don't need to be so polite in the future," Gu Changsheng said with a smile looking at the two little guys.
The two responded and stood up. They looked a little restrained. This was the legendary great man, so young and handsome, even more handsome than the master.
Gu Changsheng looked at the two and said with a smile, "Following my rebellious disciple, you are wronged."
"Master..." Li Beifei looked at Gu Changsheng resentfully. It was fine usually, but now he was tearing down my stage, didn't I want face?
"What? Do you have any objections?" Gu Changsheng's smile faded and he glared at Li Beifei.
"No, absolutely not!"
Li Beifei shook his head frantically like a rattle drum.
"If you have nothing to do, go to the side, your master is talking to my grand-disciples, what's it to you?" Gu Changsheng said unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Beifei quickly retreated to the side, as long as he didn't beat himself, he could say anything.
Duanmu Yun and Yi Jifeng were frightened when they saw Gu Changsheng treating their master so strictly. This was a ruthless person who destroyed a quasi-emperor force with a palm!
Gu Changsheng noticed their inner anxiety, and a gentle smile instantly appeared on his face, and said, "Don't worry, I have high hopes for your master, so I am so strict with him. As the saying goes, beating is love and scolding is affection. In the future, when you see me beating your master, it is all an expression of my love for your master, don't be surprised."
Li Beifei curled his lips to the side, sophistry, it's all sophistry.
"Grandmaster, my dad used to tell me that too," Duanmu Yun said with a smile at this time.
"Well, your dad is very wise!" Gu Changsheng praised.
"Does that mean the harder you hit, the more you love?" Yi Jifeng asked.
"That's right, that's the logic!" Gu Changsheng laughed heartily. These two little ones, their talents are mediocre, but they have great wisdom. Their future is promising, very promising!
Li Beifei's mouth twitched beside him. Did I take in two harbingers of doom?
"Then will Master beat us in the future?" Duanmu Yun asked.
"Dare he?" Gu Changsheng said, looking at Li Beifei, and said, "If you dare to touch a hair on my precious grand-disciples, see if I don't punish you severely!"
Li Beifei shrank his neck, feeling sad. I not only took in two harbingers of doom, but also two ancestors.
"Beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. Only your grand-master is allowed to do that to your master, understand? Anyone else doing that is just nonsense," Gu Changsheng said.
"Understood!" The two nodded.
Yi Jifeng winked at Duanmu Yun, meaning that they wouldn't be afraid of their master's reprimands in the future!
"Come, come, your grand-master is poor and doesn't have anything good. These two swords are called Yin-Yang Twin Swords, one yin and one yang. They contain a set of combined attack sword techniques, perfect for you two to practice."
Gu Changsheng took out two swords, handing the Yang sword to Yi Jifeng and the Yin sword to Duanmu Yun.
"Thank you, Grand-Master, for bestowing the swords!"
The two said in unison, excitedly accepting the precious swords.
Li Beifei couldn't help but ask Old Six in his heart: "Old Six, do you know what grade these two swords are?"
"The Yang sword is made of Bright Immortal Gold, and the Yin sword is made of Dark Immortal Gold. Their grades are both Immortal Artifacts, but Gu Changsheng sealed their power. They will only gradually unleash the sword's true power as their cultivation grows," Old Six explained.
"What, Immortal Artifacts? Damn it, that old bastard only gave me a Tianshu Sword that didn't even reach the level of a Saint Weapon when he took me in as a disciple. The treatment is too different, right?"
Li Beifei felt that the gap between them was so huge, and he immediately felt a little envious and jealous of his disciples.
"Tch, this Old Six is better than any Immortal Artifact. Are you still complaining?"
Old Six's words left Li Beifei speechless, with absolutely nothing to say!
"Master, Xiaoyun and Xiaofeng will stay with you for the next few days. I should also prepare to go and destroy them," Li Beifei said at this time.
"Okay, go!" Gu Changsheng waved his hand, looking very disgusted.
"Master, I want to use tribulation to kill the enemy. This process is very dangerous!"
Li Beifei didn't leave, but said these words.
"I know, so what?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"There's a possibility of dying!" Li Beifei emphasized the importance of the matter.
"You said there's a possibility, there's also a possibility of not dying," Gu Changsheng said.
"..."
"Damn it, you old bastard, you'd be happy if I died, wouldn't you?"
Li Beifei exploded, and then, like a shooting star, he flew down the mountain.
Gu Changsheng said to Duanmu Yun and Yi Jifeng, "See, this is why I have to be so strict with your master!"
The two also witnessed their master's sharp tongue for the first time.
...
