“Teacher, why are you still mentioning that beast? Just now, Hei Suo was injured by Ling Xiao with his ‘Void Breaking Strike.’ In addition, an expert of the Soul Race appeared, so those two guys fled in sore straits.”
Shi Lei had also woken up. This fellow was a straight-forward person who spoke honestly and was loyal.
In his eyes, Ming Tian’s actions were not inferior to a beast’s.
Surprise flashed through White Cloud Great Master’s eyes, then dullness returned.
“Ling Xiao, this Master has nothing to say. In short, this Master was blind. This Master only cared about aptitude but forgot the most basic quality of a martial artist. This Master can’t help you, but if you are willing, then you can take one spot among the three!”
At this moment, although White Cloud Great Master was still alive, his heart was dead. Therefore, he didn’t care about Ling Xiao’s prior rudeness.
He said these words from his heart.
“Alas, I have offended that Hei Suo, so I can only accept you, this partial Master.”
Ling Xiao sighed.
Because of his words, the atmosphere became a bit less low-spirited. White Cloud Great Master also seemed to have become a bit better. But this kind of despair was hard to eliminate in a short time.
“Teacher, I think you should let everyone compete for those three spots. Otherwise, someone will definitely not be convinced.”
Fei Yu suddenly said.
“What unconvinced? Ling Xiao killed Zuo Leng. Can anyone among you all do that? If it weren’t for him, even Master’s ear would have been cut off by that beast Ming Tian, and you all are still not convinced?”
Shi Lei roared.
“Then, there are still two spots left to compete for, right?”
Fei Yu knew that he couldn’t compete against Ling Xiao in terms of strength or credit.
“Wasn’t one spot left for an outsider?”
Zhu Hua asked.
“I’ll not allow it now because it’s meaningless.”
White Cloud Great Master explained: “Previously, I told you all that I would give the third spot to someone else. Now, I can tell you who that person is: he’s a disciple of my senior apprentice brother. I feared that Demonic Flame would suppress you all after entering the Moonlight Sect. This senior apprentice brother is a Rank Eight Transcendent powerhouse, and he should be able to protect you all.”
“But now, you all know that Demonic Flame is already a Celestial Realm expert. My senior apprentice brother will absolutely not dare to offend him. Therefore, this spot will remain open. Everyone else besides Ling Xiao can compete for it.”
“Teacher, are you saying that after we enter Moonlight Sect, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy will make things difficult for us?”
Dai Yuling asked.
“With his character, it’s certain. However, your potential is not particularly good. And that person is very conceited. As long as you don’t perform well enough, he won’t bother to deal with you. Instead, he will keep you there to make himself feel superior.”
White Cloud Great Master explained.
From his words, anyone could tell that White Cloud Great Master had given up all hope. He didn’t believe that any of his remaining disciples could make a difference in Moonlight Sect.
Even if they smoothly joined Moonlight Sect, it wouldn’t be easy.
Perhaps, Ling Xiao could make a difference since he was very cunning and intelligent.
However, if he performed very well, it would attract Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy’s attention. Then, everything would be over.
Therefore, White Cloud Great Master could only explain everything now and obey fate. It was a small compensation for his disciples after experiencing this disaster.
His disciples were also considering their choices.
Even if you get White Cloud Great Master’s recommendation and entered Moonlight Sect, was that truly good?
In the future, they might face the suppression of Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy and his henchmen. Although it might not be too excessive, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate normally like other disciples.
The path of cultivation was already full of thistles and thorns.
This would simply push it to hell mode!
Among the disciples of Heavenly Ren Academy, all five chose to leave after some careful consideration.
They didn’t want to be tied up with White Cloud Great Master’s broken ship because they just had to return to their Ren Race and would have other chances to enter other sects.
This path was too unwise for them.
“Well, it seems that there is no competition now. Ling Xiao already has a quota, Ling Yixue has already left, and I’m a member of the Elephant Race, so I’m not qualified to enter the twelve sects. I guess I will leave soon. Like that, only Dai Yuling and Leng Mei are left.”
Shi Lei said with a smile: “You two truly got a cheap advantage, but you all have to think carefully about the hardships you will have to face. If you are truly unwilling to go, you can go to Elephant Race with me. I still have some influence there. I can guarantee that you will get enough cultivation resources, but it might not be as good as the twelve sects.”
“Many thanks for your kindness, Brother Shi, but I really want to see how far I can walk on the martial path under the suppression of others. In any case, I can’t let Ming Tian, that beast, be complacent.”
Although Dai Yuling was a girl, she was a decisive person.
“Wherever Noble Son goes, I will go too.”
Leng Mei’s answer was even simpler.
Ling Xiao smiled and said: “Naturally, I want to go to Moonlight Sect. Otherwise, Hei Suo and Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy will definitely be disappointed.”
He didn’t have the slightest fear in his heart, only a strong fighting spirit.
The greater the pressure and the more the difficulties, the more his Landscape Martial Soul’s potential would be simulated.
With so many benefits, how could he give up?
Hearing the decisions of these few disciples, a hint of a smile appeared on White Cloud Great Master’s face.
Immediately afterward, he sighed helplessly, and it disappeared.
He was very aware of youthful passion and impulse.
As an experienced person, he knew that this choice was neither optimistic nor wise.
The reason he said nothing was he didn’t want to give a blow to his own disciples’ drives.
Moreover, he also hoped that a miracle would happen.
“Okay, since the quota has already been fixed, the three of you should rest first. Ling Xiao, you stay. This Master has something to say to you.”
Perhaps due to receiving a setback in his other relationships, White Cloud Great Master was a lot more amiable. It was like he wanted to say his final words.
Ling Xiao nodded: “Okay!”
After Shi Lei and the others left, White Cloud Great Master looked at Ling Xiao and said: “Have you ready the diary in the Technique Imparting Hall?”
Ling Xiao nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed: “Yes.”
“Since you have read it, you should know this Master’s past.”
White Cloud Great Master sighed: “Honestly speaking, this Master’s purpose of nurturing Ming Tian and Zuo Leng was impure. This Master hoped that they would surpass Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy and avenge him!”
“That’s understandable!”
Ling Xiao felt that this was nothing. It was only natural for a disciple to avenge his Master. If White Cloud Great Master had treated him well like he had treated Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, he would definitely have been duty-bound.
“Demon Flame snatched this Master’s wisdom bone, and he is also suspected of killing this Master’s wife and daughter. This hatred is absolutely irreconcilable.”
White Cloud Great Master helplessly smiled: “It’s a pity that my revenge is an extravagant hope. Everything is already over.”
“Teacher, you still don’t know whether your daughter has died for certain, right?”
Originally, Ling Xiao had considered whether to tell this matter to White Cloud Great Master.
After all, it was like sprinkling salt on White Cloud Great Master’s wounds.
However, after some consideration, he decided to reveal it because he noticed that White Cloud Great Master had an inclination of committing suicide.
Once a person’s heart died, they might surrender in life.
Although White Cloud Great Master would feel even more pain, it might also save his life.
“Not dead? Who told you this?” White Cloud Great Master exclaimed in surprise.
“Hei Suo!”
Ling Xiao sighed. “Before leaving, Hei Suo said that Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy will take care of your daughter. There are two possibilities for this: one, your daughter was snatched and brought up by him; second, he has finally found who saved your daughter.”
