Sure enough, once he appeared, Shu Yi was instantly delighted and skipped over joyfully like a little girl, then called out as if she was acting coy, “Master!”
Everyone was shocked and turned to look inquiringly at Shu Yuan but saw that his expression was already as black as the bottom of a pot. It was evident that he was completely unaware that his daughter had acknowledged someone else as her master.
“Mm.” Tian Ji’s gaze became warmer as he responded. In the next moment, it turned icy as he looked around. “Who said earlier that my personal disciple cannot compare to another!”
Personal disciple! Supremacy Tian Ji had accepted Shu Yi as his personal disciple!
It was another shock for the crowd, the looks they were giving Shu Yuan already held pity. Never mind that his own daughter acknowledged someone else as her Master, it was even being a personal disciple. Wasn’t this shaming him, finding that his teachings weren’t good enough?
“Well, I would like to see who can surpass my disciple!” Tian Ji ignored all that, his eyes scanned every person alongside the suppression of the Soul Formation phase, finally, they landed on Zuo Shuming, “Is it you?”
Zuo Shuming only felt an immense suppression land on his body, his chest stirred as his figure stepped back unstably, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lonemoon’s expression darkened, reaching out to support him and covertly used spiritual power to protect his heart meridians.
“Uncle-Master Tian Ji!” The Sect Master was startled too, as if he hadn’t expected him to strike out at a mere Foundation Establishment disciple and quickly stopped him.
“Hmph!” Tian Ji only retracted the suppression then, turning his head, he glanced at Yu Luan and said, “You intend to accept such a disciple as your personal disciple?”
“Uncle-Master, he…” Yu Luan wanted to explain.
“Can’t even handle 5% of my suppression and you had your eye on him! Yu Luan you are really becoming increasingly muddled!” Tian Ji interrupted directly, then turned to the crowd. “I came here today to inform all of you, I think Shu Yi is not bad and I have already accepted her as my personal disciple yesterday. I don’t wish to meddle in the affairs of the sect, but…” He darted a look at Zuo Shuming and went on, “The future of Gui Yi Sect cannot be so rashly placed into the hands of such a person.”
Everyone was instantly embarrassed, they’d just praised Zuo Shuming earlier but was humiliated by Tian Ji in the next moment, yet his seniority was higher and was also a Soul Formation cultivator that they could not refute him. Seems like Yu Luan won’t be able to take in this personal disciple today.
Yu Luan was flushed with anger as he looked towards Zuo Shuming with some guilt and regret. “You…”
Zuo Shuming naturally figured that this Supremacy called Tian Ji was intentionally targeting him to stand up for Shu Yi. However, he didn’t feel any disappointment or regret, he hadn’t planned on acknowledging a master anyway, hence he took the initiative to speak up first. “Thank you Sect Master for your good intention, but… I am without talent, during my practice of cultivation in the past, I did not choose core cultivation, instead I chose the sword. I’m afraid I cannot be Sect Master’s disciple, please forgive me!”
“You’re a sword cultivator!” Yu Luan was shocked, this was something he hadn’t expected.
“Yes!” Zuo Shuming replied, feeling Lonemoon’s nudge, he was enlightened and added, “Both myself and Junior Brother Lonemoon here are sword cultivators.”
Yu Luan took a closer look and sure enough, saw a hint of Sword Qi on the both of them, he could not help but felt slightly regretful. However, this had saved him from his difficult spot and he was instantly relieved. “The people of my Dan Lin Mountain are all core cultivators, you are indeed not suited to be taken in. How about…” He had thought of letting him choose which mountain he wanted to join and he’d do him a favor, then grant him a few technique books to end things.
Yet Supremacy Tian Ji who stood at a side suddenly sneered coldly. “Hmph! Turns out you’re a sword cultivator! Practicing the sword in my Gui Yi Sect, as expected, extreme stupidity!” His eyes were filled with scorn. “Never mind, with your qualifications as a triple spirit root, I reckon you can only become a rather useless sword cultivator.”
Zuo Shuming’s expression changed.
Beside him, Lonemoon’s eyes dimmed, feeling rage surge instantly from his chest!
His entire being was about to explode—
Damn it! What the f*ck! What’s wrong with us sword cultivators? Have sword cultivators offended you? You trash of a Soul Formation core cultivator, what right do you have to look down on us sword cultivators!
(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻
“Calm down, Father Niu!” Shen Ying quickly held onto the person who was about to charge out.
“Let me go, I, this sword cultivator is going to beat him to death!” Lonemoon’s entire being was upset! Where did this garbage core cultivator come from, with the exception of body cultivators, us sword cultivators have never taken a beating in any aspects, come fight me one on one if you dare!
“You can’t fight now!” The invader is still here, you will expose yourself!
Lonemoon turned back and glared at her, then inhaled deeply, barely managing to suppress the anger at heart. He sent a voice transmission, “Alright, I shall not strike! Chef, you go! Get out there and blind his dog eyes!”
“Ah?” Yi Qing faltered, how?
“Go out and be a showoff! Show this bastard core cultivator, what a true sword cultivator is.”
He could despise Two-Bucks Zuo, but sword cultivators were an absolute no!
Yi Qing was speechless, just how deep was Father Niu’s obsession with sword cultivators. He could only look towards his Master at the side, Shen Ying nodded, let’s go, we cannot afford to provoke a raging Father Niu.
The two then flew out.
On the other side, Tian Ji seemed to have had enough of being cocky, thinking that Shu Yi had won in appearances, then looked to her, saying, “Alright, that’s it for today. Little Yi, return with Master!”
Shu Yi smiled, looking again at Zuo Shuming who was wearing a long face, instantly feeling a hearty satisfaction. Fortunately, she’d listened to the system yesterday to end her isolation earlier and saved this Supremacy who was about to turn demonic and found a Master who was a good aid. As expected, another voice that made her even happier sounded next.
[Ding! Original owner’s resentment level -10!]
Hence she quickly replied, “Yes, Master!”
“Hold on! Little Yi!” Shu Yuan who was dazed for a long time then snapped back to his senses, looking complicatedly at his own daughter. Although he knew his daughter was a little willful, he didn’t expect that she would seek another master and was planning to talk it out with her after they returned to their quarters.
Yet Tian Ji said coldly, “Shu Yuan, Little Yi has already acknowledged me as her Master, it is only natural that she stays with me at Qi Tian Court in the future.”
“But…” Shu Yuan still had more to say.
However, Tian Ji had no more patience to explain and directly walked out with the girl in tow.
“Uncle-Master Tian Ji!” Shu Yuan panicked and gave chase.
He’d just stepped out of the door when an immense Sword Qi suddenly fell from the sky. Shu Yuan did not withstand it properly and fell to the ground. Even Tian Ji in the Soul Formation phase was forced to kneel on the ground in front of him, not falling only because he had both hands propping himself up.”
Not to mention Shu Yi beside him, she was already spitting blood, if it wasn’t for the existence of the system, her golden core would’ve been crushed. Gui Yi Sect’s Protective Mountain Array was activated, a layer of invisible shield appeared in the air, but followed with a crashing sound, that Protective Mountain Array was smashed like a bubble that was popped.
“This is Sword Qi!” The expressions of the Elders who also came out changed, they immediately conjured spells to set up an array formation. “Hurry, hold up a defensive array formation!”
