Chapter 1277: Chapter 1276: The Lifelong Affairs of the Brothers
The next day.
In front of Lingyun Hall.
All those who met the requirements were present, including the Clan Leader and the three Elders Zu.
Yang Chen, Ye Xin, and Kun Yao all came.
However, today’s protagonists were not them, but Purple Cultivator and Sun Yue.
Once everyone gathered.
Yang Chen walked up to the high platform, scrutinized the crowd, and slowly said, "Are you willing to give up your personal rights to become a member of the Lingyun Team?"
Yun Haotian immediately stepped forward, respectfully saluting Yang Chen, "Your Highness Asura King, I apologize. After thinking it over, despite really wanting to join the Lingyun Team to reach higher levels, the Yun family cannot be without a Clan Leader, so..."
Yang Chen nodded slightly, understanding Yun Haotian’s meaning, "Then you just stand aside."
"Yes!" Yun Haotian breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, part of what Yun Haotian said was true; for example, he really wanted to practice the cultivation technique that could surpass the Divine Realm. But more than that, he was wary of Yang Chen. So far, everyone with potential in the Yun family had been chosen by Yang Chen. Currently, they did not know if this technique would truly be effective.
If anything unexpected happened, someone would still need to take control.
Yun Haotian had to assume this responsibility! After all, he was the Clan Leader!
A nation cannot be without a ruler for a day, nor can a clan be without a leader.
This is his responsibility!
Yang Chen continued, "From today, you are official members of the Lingyun Team! From today, you will abandon your current identities; you will exist only in the Lingyun Team. As long as the Lingyun Team is not disclosed, you are nonexistent. From today, you will live in the night, hidden in darkness! As long as I don’t permit you to appear, you will remain silent forever! As for now, whether you are elders of the Yun family, administrators, or noble direct descendants, family geniuses! In the Lingyun Team, you are nothing, just a new guard! And in the Lingyun Team, you have no names, only codes!"
Upon hearing this, the Yun family members looked at each other.
Wasn’t what Yang Chen said essentially telling them to start over?
This was still rather difficult for them to accept.
In fact, according to the Yun family’s education, the Yun family could already be considered a standard noble family.
Abandoning all aspects of nobility and starting anew was indeed somewhat challenging and hard to accept.
Yang Chen, however, did not care about these things.
In the Guard, not everyone can accept the intense training of the new guard. Yet, no one would stop because of your inability to accept, nor would anyone abandon your training because of your refusal!
Without accepting the training, one cannot undergo transformation!
"You six Divine Realm martial cultivators will receive individual training," Yang Chen said.
He referred to the three Elders Zu and three masters from the Cabinet who had broken through to the Divine Realm.
The six immediately stepped forward, aligning themselves in a row.
Yang Chen looked at Meng Po, "I’ll leave these six to you."
Meng Po nodded seriously, approached them, and stood upright.
Seeing Meng Po, the six couldn’t help but glance at each other.
They were about to transition from martial cultivators to cultivators, a transformation they hadn’t yet grasped. Now, Yang Chen assigned them to what seemed like a twenty-year-old yellow-haired girl!
Most importantly, she was a foreigner!
The Flame Country’s profound culture, being taught by a foreigner, felt unprecedentedly odd, even more so for these stubborn old folks hard to accept.
Of course, now they had no right to oppose, only to follow Yang Chen’s arrangements.
"The rest of you!" Yang Chen’s gaze swept over the remaining people, coldly saying, "From today, your instructors are Purple Cultivator and Sun Yue. You will completely follow their orders, only their orders! If I bypass them to give you a direct command, it will be invalid! Understand?"
The Yun family members exchanged glances and finally shouted unevenly, "Understood."
"What?" Yang Chen frowned, "I can’t hear!"
"Understood!" everyone shouted in unison.
Yang Chen then nodded in satisfaction, handing over the remaining time to Purple Cultivator and Sun Yue.
Purple Cultivator immediately assumed the role, starting to address the people.
Yang Chen and Ye Xin watched from the side.
The Yun family members felt extremely uncomfortable, their former goddess, their Yang Chenxi, their Left Envoy Yang, their dream lover, now stood intimately by a man’s side. Once stern-faced, she now made conversation and laughed. And appeared indifferent as they were scolded... the feeling, truly bizarre.
Purple Cultivator quickly divided the team into five groups and assigned each a code name.
Then led them for their first island cross-country race!
After the team ran off, Meng Po led the few Divine Realm masters away to guide them in practicing the technique given by Yang Chen.
But Purple Cultivator and Sun Yue appeared like rivals, persistently quarrelling.
"Don’t use the old methods on these people! They don’t buy it at all! What’s the use of island cross-country running? With their cultivation, they won’t even feel tired! Do you want them to end up exhausted like the new guards?" Sun Yue snorted coldly.
Purple Cultivator remained unfazed, "Experiences summarized by predecessors are invariably correct. Whether they tire or not, this process is something they must endure! How else to train their tough character?"
"Ha!" Sun Yue let out a cold laugh, folding his arms, turning away.
Purple Cultivator equally unyielding, "Ha!"
The two glared at each other only to realize the team had already run far ahead. Hastily, they chased after.
Yang Chen and Ye Xin saw and couldn’t help but laugh.
Yang Chen winked at Ye Xin, "My dear, it seems our Purple Cultivator is still single."
"I can tell!" Ye Xin replied with a smile.
Yang Chen immediately asked, "So you think..."
Facilitating a match for his subordinates, Yang Chen felt was also a very good idea then.
Ye Xin replied, "I can see that Purple Cultivator is single entirely because of his capabilities! Impressive!"
"Uh!" Yang Chen was momentarily dumbfounded.
Single by sheer capability? Was this praise or a jab?
While Yang Chen pondered, Ye Xin already began to walk back.
Yang Chen quickly caught up, asking, "What do you think? If Sun Yu doesn’t work out, I think Wang Piaoliang is good, he should be single too, right? If Purple Cultivator doesn’t interest you, I still have Yang Cao, Dongzi... they’re single too!"
Ye Xin stopped, turned to look at Yang Chen, sizing him up, "Who would have thought! You, the illustrious Asura King, have a matchmaking talent!"
Yang Chen’s face showed embarrassment, he chuckled, "Don’t you see, so many of my brothers are still single, now with such a disparity in gender ratio, as their leader, shouldn’t I worry about their lifelong affairs?!"
