63: I'm afraid I'll be in trouble as soon as I get to the mountain.
When Elder Qi Taiyue's voice rang out, all the True Disciples present in the entire azure square turned their gaze towards Zhou Xuan.
It was extremely rare for the first-place winner of the Selection Ceremony to come to Red Thunder Peak.
After all, it might take more than ten years for a Disciple to arrive at Red Thunder Peak.
Facing the many gazes directed at him, Zhou Xuan was a little surprised, then smiled and continued, "Elder Qi's magnanimity truly surprises this Disciple. If I could join, it would certainly be the icing on the cake."
Zhou Xuan's words echoed throughout the azure square, and a smile also appeared on Qi Taiyue's face. The Disciples of his vein behind him couldn't help but curl their lips into a playful smile.
In their eyes, they were initially surprised and curious about Zhou Xuan, but now it seemed that this first-place winner was, in the end, just mediocre.
Many of the Disciples present had a good relationship with Junior Brother Qi Yue. If he could enter, they would humiliate him severely and then throw him out.
After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Dai Hongling's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, and her rosy lips pursed, clearly showing disdain for Zhou Xuan's actions.
This guy, as expected...
However, before Elder Qi Taiyue could say anything, Zhou Xuan's voice resounded throughout the entire azure square, saying, "But I thought about it, Elder Qi's Disciples are like clouds of experts, with many Prodigies. I think I'd better not go there. After all, the Elders of the other two veins are more suitable for me."
Zhou Xuan's voice echoed throughout the entire azure square, and then countless Core Disciples present widened their eyes, their gazes filled with solemnity and surprise as they looked towards Zhou Xuan.
The smile that had just bloomed on Qi Taiyue's face now froze, and the atmosphere in the entire square became somewhat strange.
Without a doubt.
None of the countless Disciples present had expected that Zhou Xuan would actually choose the other two veins. This had far exceeded everyone else's understanding.
Although the Disciples of the other two veins were unwilling to admit it, it was undeniable that...
The Disciples of Elder Qi Taiyue's vein were indeed very powerful. Compared to the Disciples of their two veins, their overall strength was still stronger.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan did not choose Elder Qi's vein.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several Disciples behind Qi Taiyue froze, and then their entire faces darkened.
Even Qi Taiyue's expression was a little unsightly, but his face quickly recovered its original smile, and his voice became much more indifferent, saying, "Since you are unwilling, then so be it. I hope you won't regret it when the competition comes."
In Qi Taiyue's view, among the entire Red Thunder Peak, their vein had the best Disciples. If Zhou Xuan did not join, it would be his own regret.
When the Three Vein Martial Meet came and he tasted the bitterness, he would naturally know how much he would regret his current choice.
Moreover, in the entire mountain, even if the first-place winner of the inner sect Selection Ceremony entered the inner peak to Cultivate, if he did not have good Cultivation resources, he would probably quickly become ordinary.
After hearing the Elder's words, Chu Gang, who was behind Qi Taiyue, swept his gaze towards Zhou Xuan, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes.
Without a doubt.
Zhou Xuan's arrogance had undoubtedly offended Elder Qi Taiyue, in addition to Zhou Xuan defeating Qi Yue during the Selection Ceremony.
Now, he had completely alienated Elder Qi. In the future, he would have a hard time on this Red Thunder Peak.
As for the strange gazes of these people, Zhou Xuan was too lazy to bother with them. After all, the Disciples of Elder Qi Taiyue's vein, more or less, harbored some hostility towards him due to Qi Yue's matter.
If he really joined Qi Taiyue's vein, he might be disgusted to death.
Thus, under the gaze of countless people, Zhou Xuan looked at Elders Lu Tongxuan and Dai Ming, bowed, and cupped his fists, saying, "Disciple Zhou Xuan is willing to join the tutelage of the two Elders."
Zhou Xuan's sudden question made many of the Disciples present widen their eyes, their gazes filled with disbelief as they looked towards Zhou Xuan.
They also naturally had not expected that Zhou Xuan would actually refuse Elder Qi Taiyue and instead directly join their tutelage.
Lu Tongxuan and Dai Ming also looked at each other, their expressions softening slightly.
Zhou Xuan's actions, even Dai Hongling, who was behind Elder Dai Ming, couldn't help but widen her eyes, her gaze shimmering with a faint hint of admiration.
Dai Hongling also had not expected that Zhou Xuan would not choose to join Qi Taiyu's tutelage.
Dai Ming first smiled, then looked at the Elder beside him and said, "Currently, my vein is not lacking too many Disciples. Why don't Elder Lü take this Disciple?"
Zhou Xuan's talent and strength were indeed undoubtedly the strongest among the new batch of True Disciples. However, his current mental energy was indeed limited, and he did not have enough mental energy to teach Zhou Xuan.
Since Disciple Zhou Xuan did not choose Qi Taiyue, then among all three vein Elders, the best was Elder Lu Tongxuan.
Lu Tongxuan's gaze towards Zhou Xuan couldn't help but become a few shades gentler, and then he slowly said, "Now, join my Lu Tongxuan vein. I will diligently teach you and will not let down your potential and strength."
Zhou Xuan also cupped his fists and bowed, his eyes filled with excitement.
Looking at Zhou Xuan's polite demeanor, even the somewhat serious face of Elder Lu Tongxuan finally showed a smile, and then he didn't hesitate at all...
With a flick of his sleeve, he directly transformed into a jade token, which then turned into a stream of light, floating in front of Zhou Xuan, emitting a soft glow.
If Zhou Xuan looked closely, the jade token had complex and profound patterns, emitting a peculiar fluctuation. Vaguely, it could even absorb the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
This was clearly a Spirit Treasure of extraordinary grade.
"This is the identity jade token of a True Disciple. Take it, and later, I will have Li Wu of this vein take you to choose a golden Cultivation Immortal Cave!"
"Thank you, Elder Lü!"
Amidst countless envious gazes, Zhou Xuan took his unique identity jade token and then directly wore it on his waist.
When Zhou Xuan placed the jade token on his waist, the profound spirit patterns on it emitted faint specks of light, and then the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth immediately transformed into wisps of pure Spiritual Qi.
It began to follow his meridians, continuously nourishing his body. Vaguely, his entire body couldn't help but feel much more comfortable.
"It really is a good thing."
Zhou Xuan felt the Spiritual Qi gushing out from the jade token and couldn't help but exclaim slightly.
With the completion of the allocation of the last Disciple, Zhou Xuan, it also meant the end of this Disciple allocation.
Elder Qi Taiyue directly got up and left, but his entire face was somewhat unsightly, clearly a bit embarrassed.
After Elder Qi Taiyue left, the group of Disciples following him also left directly. However, many of them looked at Zhou Xuan with obvious disdain in their eyes.
Zhou Xuan's actions today had undoubtedly caused Elder Qi's vein to lose face completely and make a spectacle of themselves in the entire Red Thunder Peak.
Among them, the most piercing gaze naturally belonged to Chu Gang, who had just been speaking, his eyes flashing with maliciousness.
...
After the Disciples of Elder Qi's vein left, the Disciples of the other two veins also directly returned to their respective mountains.
As for Zhou Xuan, he followed behind Elder Lü's head Disciple, Li Wu, to claim the Immortal Cave he needed for residence and Cultivation.
At this moment, in Elder Qi Taiyue's Immortal Cave.
Chu Gang sat in an Immortal Cave with a gloomy expression. Around him were other True Disciples of Qi Taiyue's vein, but everyone's face was somewhat grim.
"Damn it! This Zhou Xuan truly doesn't know what's good for him. Our Elder Qi personally invited him, but he dared not come!"
"Heh heh! He has offended the Disciples of our vein. Within three months, we will definitely let him know our power!"
"At the Three Vein Martial Meet three months from now, I want to see if this Zhou Xuan, the so-called first-place winner of the Selection Ceremony, can reverse the decline of Elder Lü's vein?"
"..."
Many of the Disciples of Elder Qi's vein present complained with ugly expressions, all naturally dissatisfied with Zhou Xuan's performance today.
At this moment, Chu Gang's eyes flickered with a faint, strange glint, and then a playful smile appeared on his lips, saying, "Golden Immortal Caves are very popular on our Red Thunder Peak now. I don't believe other Disciples aren't tempted?"
Seeing this, many of the other Disciples widened their eyes, a sinister smile on their lips, saying, "Heh heh, next, I think this Zhou Xuan will probably make a fool of himself as soon as he enters the mountain!"
