Lin Xiyue was dumbfounded. Becoming my disciple had become a stroke of good fortune?
"Take... take a Disciple?!"
"Who?"
"Me?!"
As soon as Elder Jian said this, Lin Xiyue was completely stunned. She pointed a finger at her own nose, her Face full of disbelief.
She had originally thought that Elder Jian had been moved by talent and wanted to take Shen Qingyi under his own wing.
After all, this was the legendary Taiyin Sacred Body!
Even if Elder Jian was once a Saint standing at the Peak of the Cangxuan Great Realm,
facing such a Heaven-Defying Physique that was extremely rare even in ancient times, he should definitely be moved.
But who would have thought.
Elder Jian actually changed the subject and suggested that she take this Disciple?
This script isn't right!
"That's right."
"My meaning is for you to take her as your Disciple and teach her personally."
Seeing Lin Xiyue's expression, as if she were hearing some tall tale, Elder Jian looked solemn and nodded heavily.
"Uh, this..."
Getting confirmation from Elder Jian, Lin Xiyue immediately became anxious. She shook her head like a rattle-drum and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no!"
"Old Grandfather, you're joking with me, aren't you!"
"You also know that I've only been in contact with cultivation for a few months at most. Right now, I'm just a small Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm. Not only is my cultivation not profound, but I also have no teaching experience."
"Letting me teach a future Female Emperor candidate? How can that be okay?"
"Isn't that just purely leading a student astray!"
Lin Xiyue was truly anxious, not just being pretentious.
She really felt that she wasn't qualified.
Leaving aside the issues of cultivation and experience, just speaking of age,
according to the data, Shen Qingyi is already twenty-one this year, two or three years older than her!
Letting an older sister call her Revered Master, and even having to kowtow and serve tea... Just thinking about that scene made Lin Xiyue feel uncomfortable all over, it felt weird.
"Old Grandfather, I think it's more appropriate for you to do it yourself!"
Lin Xiyue's eyes darted around, trying to throw this hot potato back.
"Look, you were once a Saint, a true powerhouse!"
"Whether it's vision, experience, or understanding of the Great Dao, you're a hundred and eight thousand miles ahead of me!"
"If you teach her, it will definitely be a case of a famous teacher producing a high-level student. It'll definitely be much better than following a half-baked dabbler like me!"
The more she spoke, the more she felt it made sense, looking at Elder Jian with expectation.
However.
Facing Lin Xiyue's refusal and suggestion, Elder Jian slowly shook his head, rejecting it very decisively.
"Forget about me."
"I feel... that in my hands, this Physique might not necessarily develop better than in yours."
"Why?" Lin Xiyue was stunned, not understanding why Elder Jian said that.
To this, Elder Jian explained earnestly:
"Little girl Lin."
"You underestimate yourself too much."
"As the biological younger sister of the Dao Ancestor of Great Xia, do you know that your Status... is actually unimaginably high?"
"Status?" Lin Xiyue blinked, somewhat understanding but not quite.
"Correct."
Elder Jian put his hands behind his back and looked toward the Void Realm.
"The Taiyin Sacred Body is indeed a legendary Physique in the Cangxuan Great Realm, possessing the potential to become an Emperor."
"If it were in the past and I encountered it, I would certainly be ecstatic and take her under my wing."
"But..."
Elder Jian changed the subject and looked at Lin Xiyue.
"Compared to you, this so-called Sacred Body is actually a bit lacking."
"In terms of Status alone, you are completely qualified to take the Taiyin Sacred Body as a Disciple!"
This was not Elder Jian being complimentary.
It was a judgment he made after careful consideration.
In his view, the Taiyin Sacred Body was certainly powerful, but its upper limit was basically locked at the level of "Great Emperor."
To go one step further and break through that ceiling, without other opportunities, it would likely be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
If Shen Qingyi really followed him, then in the future she might become an Emperor, or she might perish on the path of competing for the Emperor's Path.
But if she followed Lin Xiyue, the incredibly noble younger sister and sole spokesperson of the Dao Ancestor... there was a high probability she could benefit from her ethereal yet real supreme Luck!
In the future, as long as Lin Mo did not fall, and as long as Great Xia was not destroyed.
As Lin Xiyue's first Disciple, Shen Qingyi's future possibilities would be infinite!
Even... there would be a chance to touch that legendary Realm above the Great Emperor!
This was the benefit that following a remnant soul Saint like him did not possess!
Therefore, in order to give a good seed like Shen Qingyi a broader future,
the talent-cherishing Elder Jian felt that Lin Xiyue was more suitable to be the Revered Master.
"Uh..."
Elder Jian's convoluted explanation left Lin Xiyue completely dazed.
"Old Grandfather, you really think highly of me..."
"So, taking me as a Revered Master has actually become an Opportunity?"
Although she didn't fully understand what he meant by "Status," she understood the general meaning.
It meant her brother was too powerful, and by extension, she was powerful too, so if she took a Disciple, the Disciple could also benefit.
It was equivalent to saying that Shen Qingyi taking her as a Revered Master was a great Opportunity!
This logic... didn't seem to have any problems?
"Mainly, you've underestimated yourself and your brother."
Elder Jian waved his hand and didn't explain further.
"Alright, I'm just making a suggestion."
"The specific decision-making power is still in your hands."
"If you're really unwilling, then I won't force you."
After speaking, Elder Jian said no more, quietly waiting for Lin Xiyue's choice.
To this, after Lin Xiyue pondered for a moment, she took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.
"Um... okay."
"Since Old Grandfather has said so."
"Then I'll... try?"
Although she didn't have much confidence in being a teacher, she had confidence in Elder Jian's judgment.
Since the Old Grandfather said it would work, it would definitely work!
And... if she could really take a Sacred Body as a Disciple, how much Face would she have when she took her out in the future?
Thinking of this, the bit of apprehension in Lin Xiyue's heart instantly dissipated a lot.
And so.
She straightened her dress, put on a smile that tried to look as gentle as possible, and walked toward Shen Qingyi.
At this time, Shen Qingyi was still immersed in great joy and emotion because she learned that her mother and brother could be saved, sobbing from time to time.
Suddenly feeling someone approaching, she subconsciously raised her head.
She saw that Goddess-like Chief Lin standing in front of her, looking at her with a very serious and slightly nervous gaze.
"That..."
Lin Xiyue cleared her throat and asked with a slight expectation:
"Student Shen Qingyi..."
"Are you... willing to take me as your Master?"
Hearing this.
The sobbing Shen Qingyi immediately stopped crying.
Her beautiful eyes, still with teardrops, suddenly widened,
and on that stunningly beautiful Face, a dazed expression immediately appeared.
"Ah...?"
