34: Chapter 34 New Disciple Luo Xingchen, Lin Yu Returns

Chapter 34: New Disciple Luo Xingchen, Lin Yu's Return

After two months of clearing and reinforcement, the new disciple trial grounds had addressed all hidden dangers, and Leng Ruoxue, the powerful expert stationed there, could finally return to report on her work.

"Sister Yue, are you saying that Sixth Sister found a peerless genius with heaven-defying aptitude in Yunzhou?"

Leng Ruoxue suddenly stopped, her face filled with surprise as she spoke.

As her sister, she hadn't received this news immediately.

Moreover, it was received near the end of the disciple recruitment period.

"That's right, I just received this news myself. They encountered a young man blocking their path just as they were preparing to return."

Su Yue nodded and said, "And when Sister Yue tested him with the detection stone, the stone directly exploded! It was truly heaven-defying!"

She was also very shocked when she first heard the news.

One must know that the sect's detection stone could identify King-tier physiques.

For the detection stone to explode, it could only mean an Emperor-tier or even a Saint-tier physique, on par with Lin Yu's.

This made her feel somewhat unbelievable.

One must know that the Piao Miao Sect was merely a top-tier fourth-grade sect, only governing the four states beneath the Tianmu Immortal Mansion.

It wasn't even half a prefecture.

Logically speaking, it was highly unlikely for such a powerful physique to appear.

But now, not only had one appeared, but they were appearing one after another.

First Lin Yu, and now another one immediately followed.

To be honest, this put a lot of pressure on her as the Sect Master.

One must know that such high-tier prodigies were not something they could easily control.

Lin Yu was still fine, as his abilities hadn't been exposed.

But this time, Yue Lingxi had more than one elder and peak master with her when she took in the disciple.

They were all witnesses.

Although they were all their own people, who could guarantee that no one would leak the news?

After all, many things could happen under the impetus of profit.

"Sister Yue, then we..."

Leng Ruoxue's brows furrowed slightly.

She naturally knew that this matter was quite tricky.

A sect without talented disciples would be troubled, but having overly talented disciples was not necessarily a good thing either.

Moreover, from an emotional perspective, she actually didn't want to bring in this so-called prodigy who could potentially expose their sect to the eyes of major powers.

However, it seemed Sixth Sister hadn't thought too much at the time and directly took him in as a disciple, finding a junior brother for Lin Yu.

Nevertheless, the final decision still rested with Su Yue, and she wanted to see Su Yue's opinion.

"Ruoxue, this Luo Xingchen is not simple. He was once the top genius of the Luo family, the foremost family in Yunzhou, but for three years in between, his cultivation not only didn't advance at all but actually regressed."

Su Yue pondered for a moment, organized her words, and continued, "It was because of this that he was directly abandoned by his family and left to fend for himself. However, just this year, he suddenly rose, his cultivation leaping to the Fusion Realm, just one step away from forming a Golden Core, completely surpassing all the newly recruited disciples."

She paused here.

However, the meaning was already very clear.

A disciple just over sixteen years old, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Fusion Realm.

This cultivation speed was simply unheard of and unseen, even Lin Yu's apparent cultivation was inferior.

The most exaggerated part was that his cultivation had even regressed for three years in between, which showed how terrifying his talent was.

She naturally wanted to keep such a disciple.

At the very least, she had to try. If someone leaked his story, it wouldn't be too late to hand him over then.

Moreover, she had a deeper idea.

If Luo Xingchen was placed in the public eye, it could more effectively protect Lin Yu, their hidden trump card.

If he were exposed, everyone's attention would undoubtedly focus on Luo Xingchen like a spotlight, and Lin Yu would be overlooked.

This was exactly what she wanted to see.

She had personally witnessed Lin Yu's strength.

When it came to feigning weakness to trick others, no one could surpass him.

Young in age, not only was he exceptionally talented, but he also deeply understood the way to protect himself. Even his several masters were unaware of his true combat strength.

Of course, if he wasn't exposed, that would naturally be even better. With two monstrous talents in one sect, the sect's future would surely be even more glorious.

"Alright, I hope Little Yu won't mind!"

Hearing Su Yue's words, Leng Ruoxue instantly understood the deeper meaning. However, a hint of worry still lingered in her heart. At a time when Lin Yu's relationship with them had just begun to grow closer, suddenly taking in another disciple felt somewhat unreasonable.

"Don't worry, I will explain it to Lin Yu myself. That little sly one is not as simple as you imagine!"

Mentioning Lin Yu, Su Yue's face bloomed with a radiant smile like spring flowers, as if she had thought of something.

A peculiar glint flashed in her eyes, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

"Sister Yue, do you know something?"

Seeing Su Yue's expression, Leng Ruoxue, unusually, felt a spark of curiosity.

Her heart was filled with guilt regarding Lin Yu.

Their previous attitudes compared to Lin Yu's current attitude towards them were like heaven and earth.

Therefore, she also yearned to understand more about Lin Yu's situation, in order to mend their relationship.

"I can only say that the little sly one's current strength will definitely make your jaws drop, you masters! As for the specifics, you'll need to discover them yourselves."

Su Yue smiled slightly, deliberately keeping them in suspense.

She was the first to know about Lin Yu's terrifying combat strength.

Let those masters be envious.

Of course, she didn't think Lin Yu was deliberately concealing it. Su Li and Liu Xue had both become that little sly one's women; there were no closer people than them, so why would he deliberately conceal his combat strength?

If he hadn't said anything, it might be because he had his own thoughts.

After all, no one would believe that a disciple in the Fusion Realm could possess the combat strength of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Alright, then I'll be going!"

Leng Ruoxue nodded and excused herself.

She still needed to go back and discuss Luo Xingchen's matter with her sisters.

Although Su Yue had taken charge, they still needed to show their stance.

Especially when Sixth Sister Yue Lingxi brought him back, how they should treat him was a problem.

This was the trouble of not having guided disciples before.

Before, the disciples were not capable. Now, they were all capable, and they also had to consider the feelings of their eldest disciple, which made her feel it was harder than going out on missions.

...

An hour later.

"Sect Master, Lin Yu, a disciple from Jade Spirit Peak, requests an audience outside the hall."

In the pavilion by the tea table in the back garden, a young maid bowed and reported.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue put down her teacup, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

What a coincidence, Leng Ruoxue had just left, and this little sly one had returned.

However, this guy had disappeared for a whole month. Where exactly had he gone?

She had spent nearly half a month researching before, but still couldn't figure out how to enter that illusion formation.

Yet, that guy had smoothly slipped in, which showed that he had already known about that place.

She was curious about what had happened to the little sly one inside.

She remembered that Lin Yu hadn't gone in alone.
