Chapter 216: Arrogant Ye Wu (Seeking Monthly Votes)
In the attic, on the third floor.
Facing the inquiries from representatives of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects,
Chu Yuan had no intention of hiding anything. With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke lightly.
"This is my newly accepted disciple, named Su Xi. Xi Er, haven't you met these individuals? They are all your seniors."
Chu Yuan looked towards Su Xi and said.
"Su Xi has seen the seniors."
Upon seeing this, Su Xi quickly stepped forward, standing in front of her respected master and performed a very standard junior's salute.
Seeing this scene,
The representatives of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects were shocked, not expecting this mortal girl to be the new disciple of Senior Chu.
Last time Senior Chu suddenly left, could it have been to take this person as a disciple?
What exactly is special about her that made Senior Chu personally go to accept her as a disciple?
The representatives were so curious they nearly wanted to pop their eyeballs out and place them in front of Su Xi for a closer look.
But no matter how they looked, they could not see anything special about Su Xi.
Just plain and ordinary.
As if she were just an ordinary mortal.
Obviously, the representatives were extremely puzzled, but they dared not use any Pupil Skills to examine her, especially with Chu Yuan standing right there.
The representatives had many thoughts, but on the surface, they maintained a cheerful demeanor, digging out items from their storage bags to present to Su Xi as a meeting gift.
"So, it's Su Xiaoyou... ah, no, since Respected Master Chu is our senior, we are peers, so we should address each other as Daoyou. Here, Su Daoyou, as it is our first meeting, I should give you something to show respect. Please accept this piece of Heart-to-Heart Wood." Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
"Su Daoyou, this object is a defensive treasure, the Ancient Shield. As you're just entering the Cultivation Realm, I'm giving it to you for your protection. Please don't look down upon it... "
"Su Daoyou, this is the Soul-Shocking Bell..."
"Daoyou, this is..."
Each person presented Su Xi with one item after another.
The items they took out were all at least of 'Spiritual Treasure' level, each one painful for them to part with.
But for the disciple of Senior Chu, they dared not offer ordinary Magical Treasures as gifts.
Those Magical Treasures were suitable as gifts for disciples from Holy Lands.
As existences of Hidden Sect status, offering Magical Treasures as meeting gifts would be embarrassing for them.
Who still uses Magical Treasures these days?
Which powerful figure from a Hidden Sect would still keep Magical Treasures in their storage bags?
Wouldn't that be impoverished?
In any case, these individuals could not, or rather did not dare, offer Magical Treasures to Su Xi.
On the other side,
Su Xi, seeing the shimmering treasures floating before her, was uncertain if she should accept them and looked up at her respected master.
At this moment, Chu Yuan's eyes were fixed on the floating treasures, almost wishing he could put them into his own storage bag.
But he also knew that it wouldn't be appropriate here to... cough cough, to take custody of his disciple's treasures, so he decided to let his disciple accept them first.
Chu Yuan was about to look away,
But just as he slightly raised his head, he met Su Xi's gaze.
Is Su Xi wondering...
If she should accept?
Chu Yuan understood what Su Xi meant and was momentarily speechless.
And still not accepting?
His disciple seemed a bit silly.
"Accept them,"
Chu Yuan waved his hand, indicating for Su Xi to accept the gifts.
"Yes, Respected Master, thank you to all the seniors... Daoyou!"
Su Xi initially wanted to address these individuals as seniors, but remembering what they just said about being peers and using the term Daoyou, she promptly changed her form of address.
She picked up her storage bag, intending to put away the items, only to realize that collecting things required mana, whereas picking them up did not.
She had no mana and couldn't collect those treasures.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan remembered this in time and, with a wave of his hand, he took the storage bag and easily collected all the treasures.
After he had put everything away,
Chu Yuan's palm, gripping the storage bag tightly as if he had expended a lifetime of effort, finally placed the storage bag in Su Xi's hand.
After placing the storage bag in Su Xi's hand,
Chu Yuan's palm trembled, a tremble of heartache.
He had personally given away a pile of treasures...
Chu Yuan, silent and wordless, walked to his desk and sat down.
Ao Yu also scurried over and took a seat behind him.
As for Su Xi's seat,
there was no need for Chu Yuan to remind anyone; the representatives from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects had already prepared Su Xi's desk.
Seeing Su Xi take her seat, Chu Yuan didn't say anything else.
He looked down at the bead on his desk.
When he infused mana into it, the images from before did not appear.
It was pitch black.
Clearly, the second round of the Great Competition of a Thousand Sects hadn't started yet.
When would this thing start?
Chu Yuan was somewhat perplexed.
Before he could ponder further,
a deacon from the Cultivators Alliance approached him.
"Honored lords! Senior Chu! The second round of the Great Competition of a Thousand Sects has commenced, and all participants have now been matched. Here is the list of matchups, please review it."
The deacon's palm sent up a sphere of light.
As his words ended, the sphere transformed into several smaller orbs that flew towards the front of each desk.
Chu Yuan watched the orb that flew towards him, touched it, and a stream of information immediately appeared in his mind.
He quickly searched through it and soon found the information pertaining to his disciples.
'Disciple of Wayless Sect Ye Luo vs disciple Zhang Lan of Qinglan Ancient Holy Land
Disciple of Wayless Sect Zhang Han vs disciple Ye Gu of Wind Thunder Holy Land
Disciple of Wayless Sect Su Qianyuan vs disciple Ye Wu of Wuji Holy Land
Disciple of Wayless Sect Dantai Luo Xue vs disciple Shan Ming of Wanfo Holy Land'
These were his four disciples' opponents.
Chu Yuan didn't know how strong these opponents were.
He only hoped his four disciples would perform well.
To rank higher so that his gains would be greater.
Chu Yuan didn't know the information of the opponents facing his disciples,
but that didn't mean the representatives from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects didn't know.
As the representatives from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects saw the opponents of the Wayless Sect disciples, they originally didn't think much of it.
But when they saw that Su Qianyuan's opponent was Ye Wu, they were all shocked for a moment and looked up at Chu Yuan,
only to find that Chu Yuan still looked calm and composed.
"Ye Wu? The prodigy from the Ye Family's Main Branch who joined the Wuji Holy Land?"
"Yes! That's him! The external world's proclaimed genius closest to the path of Ascension!"
"This Ye Wu is quite interesting. Truth be told, before this man had grown up, I once tried to recruit him and was rejected. Tsk, tsk, I was too lazy to care about it before, but now, he's been matched with a disciple of Wayless Sect, which I suppose is his bad luck."
"If Ye Wu is defeated, that would be quite entertaining. Someone hailed as the leader of the younger generation, yet he couldn't even make it into the top thousand."
"Who says Ye Wu will necessarily lose? These things are uncertain. Nonetheless, we'll have a good show to watch this time..."
"Not lose? Look at Senior Chu, so carefree. He must believe his disciple can win. With Senior Chu's insight, could he possibly be wrong?"
The group was quietly exchanging thoughts through transmitted messages.
