Master Xu Yan

Just as Wang Longzhi was about to leave, a shout came urgently from the crowd.

The old man, who had noticed the sound in front, suddenly turned his head and sternly rebuked!

"Shut up!"

At the same time, his heart was uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on his back, fearing that if Wang Longzhi was displeased, he would take his life.

As a Prodigy of noble status, everyone was willing to befriend them.

Unlike him, a small figure, lonely and without background, who had to rely on himself for everything.

One wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.

The old man did not dare to hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground to show his respect.

"Senior Brother Wang, it's my fault! I didn't manage the person under me well!"

"I beg Senior Brother Wang for mercy! Give Junior Brother a chance to make amends!"

He held a Qiankun bag in his hand, and just as he was about to hand it to Wang Longzhi, it was unexpectedly blocked by Spiritual Qi!

Wang Longzhi's expression was calm as he looked at the old man in front of him, with no intention of blaming him.

"Spirit Stones are not necessary, I don't lack your small change."

"Who was it that shouted just now? Step forward."

Wang Longzhi had no desire to get entangled with them; it was just that the shout he heard earlier felt very familiar, making him vaguely feel he had heard it before.

As soon as his words fell, a delicate-looking young girl walked out trembling.

"Li Kexin!"

Her Face was dirty, her robe was very tattered, and she looked very disheveled, like a beggar by the roadside, extremely shabby.

Li Kexin's ranking was very low, so no Elder chose her.

But she was also very lucky; in her time of despair, she met Wang Longzhi, and she was also fortunate that she did not miss the Grand Competition with the Wang family....

Without much catching up, Wang Longzhi took the two of them back to his courtyard.

He casually pulled out two clean robes and instructed them on what they needed to do from now on.

Li Tan said nothing when he saw the two women, his eyes filled with indifference.

Now, Li Kexin was no longer the Li family Young Miss, but merely a humble maid.

"A triumphant civet is as fierce as a tiger, but a fallen Phoenix is worse than a chicken."

......

The next morning, Bai Youqianshan visited again.

Without much interaction, he led them to board the Sect Flying Sword once more.

At the same time, Li Tan was silently pondering where the Dao field he had been in for the past three years truly was.

The Flying Sword's first stop was Wenwu Pavilion.

Bai Youqianshan remained unmoved, clearly indicating that this was not their destination.

"Could it be Tianjian Mountain?"

However, as one mountain peak after another was passed, Li Tan's idea was once again proven wrong.

The Flying Sword swayed, sometimes stopping, sometimes speeding, finally landing on a desolate mountain peak.

"Tuisu, Dingmao number."

Bai Youqianshan exchanged a few polite words, then hurried away, it seemed that the days when new Disciples entered the Sect were always busy for him.

Li Tan and Wang Longzhi walked together and soon found a Yanwu Arena.

There were already several people in the field, all familiar Faces from yesterday.

A handsome young man walked towards them, his behavior very courteous.

"Presumably, you two are Senior Brother Tan and Senior Brother Long, Fellow Daoist's performance yesterday truly made me feel ashamed."

Before Li Tan could speak, Wang Longzhi asked first; he was not a slow-tempered person.

"Who are you? Coming up to flatter us?"

Wang Longzhi did not give him any Face at all, directly stating his thoughts.

The man opposite was momentarily speechless, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say, and he was also very puzzled in his heart: "This person is so rude, completely a blockhead!"

The scene was a bit silent....

As fellow Disciples, Li Tan did not want to be too excessive and quickly smoothed things over.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Li Tan, and my friend beside me is named Wang Longzhi."

"His nature has always been so straightforward, please forgive any offensive remarks, Fellow Daoist."

As his words fell, the man's expression immediately softened a few points: "I have long admired Senior Brother Tan's great name; you are even ranked among the top fifty on the Myriad People's List!"

"I am Chu Yunjie, and the two Junior Sisters behind me are Bai Yi and Yue Shiwei."

The two women hurriedly bowed and cupped their hands.

Li Tan's ranking in the previous assessment far surpassed everyone else's, so they naturally would not put on any airs.

Looking from afar, in the corner of the field, there was a solitary man silently standing; Chu Yunjie did not introduce this person to Li Tan.

Clearly, that person did not blend in well, or there was some personal grudge involved.

Chu Yunjie, perhaps sensing Li Tan's peculiarity, quickly explained: "Senior Brother Tan, don't mind him, I don't know his background either."

Yue Shiwei echoed: "Senior Brother Jie is right, this person is so arrogant!"

"The three of us went to visit him repeatedly, but we didn't receive any good Face!"

Yue Shiwei's anger was evident on her Face, and her fists were tightly clenched because of it.

With the thought of seeing each other often in the future, Li Tan also greeted that person.

The latter merely nodded slightly, without making any other response.

"Hmph! Senior Brother Tan, you are too soft-hearted; in my opinion, this person is simply ungrateful!"

"Those whose Dao differs cannot plan together!"

In just a few words, the three seemed to have made up their minds to stay away from this strange person.

......

Time quickly reached noon, and during this period, people arrived one after another.

Everyone exchanged their Dao names, considering it an initial understanding.

As night approached, Master Xu Yan arrived swiftly on a Flying Sword.

Naturally, no one dared to have any objections, taking it entirely as Revered Master's test for them.

Everyone's Face was filled with anticipation, and they harbored even more longing for their future cultivation.

Xu Yan looked at the bright moonlight and couldn't help but slap his head: "Practicing swordplay delays things!"

"Revered Master!"

Upon seeing Master Xu Yan's arrival, the crowd seemed to be invigorated, their voices loud and spirits high.

Xu Yan's feigned calm Face held a smile, trying his best to maintain Revered Master's dignity.

"You are the first batch of Disciples I have led; your future cultivation must not be careless!"

"I will not be stingy either! I will impart some of my true skills....."

After a series of admonishments to the crowd, Xu Yan issued a token to each person.

The token felt cool and comfortable in hand, was overall dark green, and had a large 'Yan' character carved on the back!

"In the future, if you ride the Sect Flying Sword, you can use this token to be exempt from fees for three years!"

"If you encounter trouble within the Sect, you can also hold this token to prove your identity!"

After learning the function of the token, Li Tan nodded silently.

Being able to be exempt from Flying Sword fees for three years was very friendly to poor Disciples, but the nearby young men and women seemed to be either rich or noble.

"Every day before the sun comes out, you must come here, and you can return on your own when the sun sets."

"Also, don't bother me when you have nothing to do; Revered Master has a very bad temper."

"All matters, big and small, within the Sect cost Spirit Stones; although your family backgrounds are superior, you must also learn the principle of saving."

Xu Yan had no intention of guiding everyone, only continuously explaining the Sect rules.
