The radiant golden light shone like a bright lamp, causing all the surrounding demons to pale in comparison.
Ye Yu was surprised to discover that this demoness actually had two attributes: one gold and one purple.
Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart (Gold): Delicate thoughts, sharp and agile intellect, possessing top-tier insight and observation.
Well-Read (Purple): Versed in various cultivation techniques and miscellaneous knowledge; she could be called a walking encyclopedia.
Too much, truly too much.
This was the first golden attribute Ye Yu had encountered in this dream.
It was really exciting.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, the demoness also turned to look toward Ye Yu.
Her eyes were calm and wise.
Soon, Ye Yu and the others arrived at the front of the high platform and lined up.
A Zhutian Sect disciple loudly called out, “First-class talents step forward.”
Ye Yu stepped forward.
Although One in a Thousand was only a green attribute, it still earned Ye Yu a lower first-class wooden tag. Strictly speaking, he was indeed first-class talent.
In fact, demons with such talent were already quite impressive.
Ye Yu glanced around; including himself, there were only about a dozen.
The Zhutian Sect disciple then respectfully stepped forward and said to the platform, “Reporting to Sect Master, all first-class talent disciples are present.”
Zhutian Sect Master Huangfu Jin nodded slightly, then said to the elders beside him, “If any of you are interested, you may select one as your disciple.”
Senior Elder Wang Zhi quietly asked, “Sect Master, by convention, shouldn’t you screen them first, and after that we begin?”
Huangfu «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Jin smiled silently, shaking his head.
Perhaps before, he would have looked for promising talents to accept.
But this year was different. He had other tasks.
Huangfu Jin clasped his hands behind his back and began pondering whether to step outside the outer sect soon to look for the friend’s son.
No matter the rumors about his poor talent, for the sake of an old friend, accepting him as a closed-door disciple would be a kindness.
After all, by their standards, the kid wouldn’t stay outside for long.
Just let him fulfill his travel dreams!
What Huangfu Jin didn’t expect was that at this moment he suddenly heard an unfamiliar heart-voice message.
“Sect Master Huangfu, this is Zhao Jia, attendant to Young Master Ye Yu. I’m at the southeast corner. Didn’t the Demon Lord already explain the plan to you? According to his script, will you accept the Young Master as your disciple?”
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Jin felt some displeasure.
How far would they push the urgency?
Anyway, with your young master’s talent, he would have been filtered out at the outer sect. What’s the rush? Does he even plan to run away?
Still, out of respect for Demon Lord Ye Chenyang, Huangfu Jin wouldn’t complain openly.
He looked toward the southeast corner and soon fixed his gaze on the plump Zhao Jia.
He responded calmly, “I will visit the outer sect shortly.”
Pretending to run into him by chance would make the acceptance more reasonable.
Zhao Jia was speechless. “Outer sect? They’re already in the inner sect. The elders are about to choose disciples. Where’s the time to wait?”
No matter what, Ye Yu was the Demon Lord’s son. Even if apprenticed, it had to be to the sect master at worst. Taking a third-rate elder as master was unacceptable.
That was something Demon Lord didn’t want to see.
So Zhao Jia quickly pointed at Ye Yu ahead and heart-voiced, “Young Master is already in.”
Huangfu Jin was stunned.
Looking at Ye Yu standing among first-class talents, his gaze was extremely strange.
“Are you cheating?”
“If Ye Chenyang’s son really had first-class talent, how could he only be Foundation Establishment by now?”
Zhao Jia hurriedly replied, “I don’t know exactly how the young master obtained first-class talent, but please, Sect Master, act quickly and don’t disrupt the plan.”
Huangfu Jin frowned slightly and was about to speak,
when two voices rang out simultaneously.
“I want to accept him as my disciple!”
“I want to be her disciple!”
Turning to look, he found the speakers were Ye Yu and Zhutian Sect Elder Pei Runzhu.
What was going on? How did they respond to each other?
And Elder Pei Runzhu was known never to accept disciples.
What was happening today?
After some thought, Huangfu Jin stepped forward and quietly said, “I see this demon’s roots are special. I will personally instruct him.”
Then, heart-voicing to Pei Runzhu, “Elder Pei, I’m not trying to snatch your disciple. It’s just his identity is special and can only be under my name. You understand, right?”
In fact, this was Huangfu Jin’s carefully considered conclusion.
In Jueque Prefecture, Ye Chenyang’s reputation was great, and many wanted to scheme against him.
Since Ye Yu had come to Zhutian Sect, his safety must be in Huangfu Jin’s hands.
Moreover, it was best if no one knew his true identity.
Therefore, he could only compete with Pei Runzhu.
Unbeknownst to Huangfu Jin, Elder Wang Zhi’s expression beside him was quite amusing.
“Alright, you say everything. First you let us choose, then after we choose you start snatching?”
“Sect Master, you’re really a trickster.”
Ye Yu looked at Huangfu Jin speaking and noticed he only had two attributes: one green, one purple.
Tenacity (Green): Whatever the task, possesses extraordinary perseverance. Perhaps this is the key to success.
Frenzied Battle (Purple): The more serious the injury, the stronger the fighting spirit, allowing full power output.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Zhutian Sect Master’s second attribute was interesting.
The lower the health bar, the stronger the power — a good attribute.
Including the green Tenacity, but against a golden legend, they really paled.
Moreover, judging by his appearance, he looked a bit tough to kill. He decided to wait until stronger to kill him.
With this thought,
Ye Yu said seriously, “I refuse. I only want to apprentice under this female elder!”
At this, Pei Runzhu also heart-voiced, “I insist on my opinion.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Jin felt quite troubled and immediately began discussing with Zhao Jia.
“What now?”
“Don’t worry!”
Without hesitation, Zhao Jia quickly slipped away, found a quiet place, and took out a communication stone.
“Headsman, the young master isn’t following the script again!”
