Chapter 46 - Who Do You Choose as a Master?
"Which one is Yue Qianchou?" A figure from the air landed in front of the group, the two eyes swept around and finally fell on the distinctive dress on Yue Qianchou's body, he said, "Are you Yue Qianchou?"
Yue Qianchou nodded yet to speak, but the person didn't wait for him and continued, "You go with me! I take you as a disciple."
"Old fart!" Elder Guan stepped in front of Yue Qianchou. Fei and Huang, the two elders also stood in the same way to block him. Elder Fei said with a chuckle, "Isn't it Elder Liu, when did you learn to rob people?"
Cheng Genqing and Yue Qianchou were both dumbfounded and didn't know what these people were up to.
The newly arrived Elder Lie said disapproving, "Old Fei, you said that, but Yue Qianchou is still a disciple without a master, anyone is free to ask him to become his master, how could I'm robbing people?"
"Haha, Old Liu, I like to listen to this." Another shadow was nearing the crowd. The figure hadn't firmly landed, but there were dozens of people came from various directions. All of them were repeatedly asking, "Which one is Yue Qianchou?"
A group of elders made it clear that the people here came for Yue Qianchou. Cheng Genqing stared suspiciously at Yue Qianchou, he really couldn't see what quality he had to actually get so many elders rushed and asked to be his master.
What others didn't know that Yue Qianchou was shivering, he thought of a fairy tale about a certain monk in the past life. It was said that eating the monk's flesh would give immortality. Does Father's meat have the same effect? Yue Qianchou immediately focused his mind on the golden bead in his dantian, as long as there was something wrong, he would immediately hide himself.
The window of the Sect Leader's room on the third floor of the 'Penglai Pavilion' was open, and the Sect Leader Feng Xiangtian looked at the group of elders below with a smile. Once again, he felt that he had indeed made the wisest decision.
The disciples who passed by from time to time saw so many elders encircling in a group. They didn't know what was going on, they wanted to go and check it out but didn't dare to disturb the elders. A group of disciples could only stand from afar, and the people who heard the news kept coming to watch the commotion.
A heavy pressure was pushed on Yue Qianchou. He was stared at by a group of old people who have lived for at least two hundred years. The forehead couldn't help but produced a subtle sweat. The pressure was too great, Yue Qianchou felt that his throat was a bit dry as he swallowed. He saluted the surrounding people and said, "Disciple Yue Qianchou greets the elders."
"No need to be so courteous...." The elders replied one after another as if they had already become Yue Qianchou's master. Yue Qianchou could only smile wryly toward the crowd.
"Heavens! What exactly this Yue Qianchou had done? There are so many elders who give him face." Cheng Genqing also felt the strong pressure, he wiped the sweat on his forehead. Seeing all the elders in the surrounding, he wanted to escape but had no way out.
All the elders gathered knew what each other were thinking. The people were silent for a moment. Elder Liu, who had arrived first, glanced at the surrounding people and said in a deep voice, "It won't solve anything for us to just stand here. There is only one command token. Sect Leader had said, whoever accepts Yue Qianchou as a disciple will be eligible to possess the command token. Since Sect Leader said this, I will also obey. Now all the elders here want to accept Yue Qianchou as a disciple, but there is only one Yue Qianchou and one command token, we shouldn't be impulsive!"
"Don't chirp around, if you have some fart to say just do it quickly!" Said Elder Guan impatiently.
Elder Liu rolled his eyes at him and wanted to retaliate, but he thought that this old lunatic was like a madman when angered, not to mention that he would always refer to him for the medicinal pills, he couldn't help but ignore it. Elder Liu said to the surrounding people, "Since I'm one of the first to arrive here, I have a suggestion to solve this problem..."
Damn it! Frightened Father for nothing, it's actually because of the command token on me. Yue Qianchou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Genqing also came to understand that his master, Elder Qin, had already possessed command token. No wonder he was tasked to send Yue Qianchou to Immortal-Enchanting Island. If his master didn't possess one, he was afraid that Yue Qianchou wouldn't call himself as a Martial Ancestor, rather as a Senior Brother.[1] Cheng Genqing finally understood why his master had a lively look at that time.
"Old Liu, we are of the same sect, and it will be embarrassing for us to fight for the token. What do you want to suggest? Let's hear about it." Said one of the elders.
"Yes. Elder Liu may speak, we will listen first..." Many of the elders agreed.
Elder Liu glanced toward Elder Guan with a smirk, he smiled and said, "It's actually very simple, let Yue Qianchou decide it himself, who he wants to follow and take as a master. The command token will also belong to that person. How do the elders feel about it? If nobody disagrees, let's us be the witness together, so as to avoid any complaints about the result." When he said the last sentence, his eyes were fixed on Elder Guan, the meaning was obvious.
Elder Guan stared back and patted his chest and yelled, "Whoever breaks the promise is a grandson!"[2] The other elders also felt that this was a good idea. Everybody wouldn't fight for it, let Yue Qianchou decide it himself, and the lucky one shouldn't be criticized.
The momentary tense atmosphere was gone. All the eyes were focusing on Yue Qianchou. Elder Liu said to him, "Yue Qianchou, you have heard the words. Who do you think is rightful to be your master? No one will force you, so you don't have to be afraid."
Cheng Genqing noticed the surrounding burning eyes that stared straight at Yue Qianchou, he could only give him a sympathetic gaze. This was too much to offend, not just offending common people, but he might offend all the elders that weren't selected.
Uh... Father is only a rookie here! Yue Qianchou's slightly respectful posture of the bent waist was gradually straightened up. His gaze fell on the Sect Leader through the window on the third floor of 'Penglai Pavilion'. He now understood the situation. No wonder Sect Leader tried his best to send the command token back to him, it turned out he had predicted this problem.
The elders gave him all kinds of gaze, be it kindness, majesty, caring. In short, all eyes revealed a message of "I'm the Master you should choose" Yue Qianchou's scalp gradually felt numb, especially Elder Guan's eyes that were clearly a naked threat as if telling him, "Boy! If you don't choose me as your master, see how I will smack you."
What the hell is going on here? Little brother is just a newcomer, I can't afford to offend anyone ah! Yue Qianchou's eyes once again gazed toward the Sect Leader on the third floor. Feng Xiangtian also seemed to feel his gaze for help. His figure disappeared from the window side, and he murmured with a grin, "Young man, don't blame me. You offend them is better than I do!"
Shit! How could you just casually disappear? I was obviously asking for a help. Yue Qianchou's gaze finally fell toward the elders hiding a hope under their various expressions, he suddenly realized something.
