Everyone couldn't help but be moved again. One must know that the old Taoist priest had entered the Dao with physiognomy and had never made any mistakes in his life. If the old Taoist priest could not tell Fang Ziyu's fate with his physiognomy, then there was only one possibility: the fate of this child was unknown to the heavens.
"Martial Uncle, please don't blame yourself…" Bai Du sighed.
"Martial Nephew Bai Du." The old Taoist priest interrupted Bai Du and said,""There's no need to comfort me. I've long been open-minded. Everything had been decided, and nothing could be forced. If the heavens don't let me know his fate, it will be his fate.”
Bai Du slightly nodded to the old Taoist priest and said,""Thank you for your teachings, Uncle-Master."
The sect leader smiled slightly and swept his gaze across the faces of everyone in the hall. Then, he closed his eyes and said in a deep voice,"You already understand these two children. It's time to call them in and decide who these two children will be under, right?”
Everyone replied in unison,"Everything is at the Sect Leader's command."”
"Bring Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu in.”
A voice outside the door answered respectfully,"I receive the Sect Master's decree."”
After a while, three figures gradually appeared at the entrance of the hall and slowly entered.
The leader of the group was a Dao child, and the two children following closely behind him were Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Aotian, and they found that this person's root bone was indeed excellent. He looked at everyone with a calm gaze and did not give in. This child was indeed a rare talent. When everyone's eyes turned to Fang Ziyu, they all gasped. Fang Ziyu, who was dressed in black, stood there with a cold face. If one only looked at his figure and temperament, he was indeed very eye-catching. However, his face…Other than Bai Du who was looking at him with a meaningful look, everyone else's eyes quickly swept past him and then fell on Xu Aotian.
"Sect Master." Bai Hao stood up first and said,"Bai Hao is willing to take Xu Aotian as his disciple."”
" Alright, Senior Brother Baihao." " You have enough disciples," Bai Jie said coldly." You should leave this opportunity to us junior brothers."”
Bai Nan stood up and said sternly,"Why leave it for Junior Brother?" Can't we junior sisters take him as a disciple?”
"Don't be angry, Junior Sister. I didn't mean that." Bai Jie smiled awkwardly.”
Bai Nan snorted coldly and said,"Since it's not interesting, leave that child to me."”
"What are you fighting for?" "Our Hollow Jade Temple focuses on alchemy. In terms of alchemy, who among you can beat me?" Bai Cao said. Sect Master, hand that child over to me. I will definitely make him the number one person in the Hollow Jade Temple.”
"You?" " Just don't treat him as a test subject for your new pill," Bai Li said sarcastically." Otherwise, he'll become an idiot like your apprentice alchemists."”
" You..." Bai Cao pointed at Bai Li with a flushed face, but he couldn't speak.
"Sect Master." Bai Li ignored Bai Cao and cupped his hands towards the Sect Leader."Please hand the child over to me."
"You?" "No matter how talented a person is, they will become trash in your hands." Bai Jie sneered.”
Bai Li stared at Bai Jie and said: "It's better than you, a martial arts fanatic. You only know how to cultivate all day long and never care about your disciples. How many of your disciples can become useful?”
"You…"
"Enough!" The sect leader suddenly opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the crowd. The hall that was filled with curses immediately quieted down.
The sect leader's gaze stopped on Bai Du who had been silent all this while, asking: ""Junior Martial Sister Bai Du, what do you think?"
Bai Du nodded slightly, saying: " Bai Du's disciples are all female, I don't dare to have any thoughts.”
The sect leader smiled and nodded. He looked at the old Taoist priest and asked,"Martial Uncle, who do you think would be the best choice for Xu Aotian?”
" This…" The old Taoist priest scratched his head and said,""Each of you has your own strengths, it's really hard to say.”
"Everything will be at your command, Martial Uncle," the Sect Master said with a smile.”
"How about this?" The old Taoist priest clapped his hands." For the sake of the Hollow Jade Temple, I hope the Sect Master can teach him personally. How about that?"”
Everyone was stunned. Everyone knew that the sect leader never accepted disciples because he had high standards. The disciples he accepted must have extraordinary talent. If the disciple of the sect master was stupid, once the sect master transcended the tribulation and ascended, the elders of the Hollow Jade Temple would definitely be dissatisfied. If this led to an internal struggle for the position of sect master, then he would be the sinner of the Hollow Jade Temple for eternity. If his disciple could convince the masses, once he ascended, the next sect master of the Hollow Jade Temple would undoubtedly be his disciple.
Everyone looked unhappy, but they could not say anything because of the old Taoist priest.
Bai Hao hurriedly said," Sect Master, Senior Master is right. Xu Aotian has an extraordinary fate. He's the most suitable to be under the Sect Master."”
Seeing that the old Taoist priest and Bai Hao had said so, the others did not dare to say anything else. They could only cupped their hands and said in unison,"This child is the most suitable to join the sect leader senior brother. I hope the sect leader senior brother will not refuse.”
The sect leader remained calm and smiled." Since you have said so, I will accept Xu Aotian."”"Then, the other child, Fang Ziyu…" the Sect Leader asked after a pause.
Before the sect leader finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked left and right. The people who were still mocking each other earlier were now as close as family.
"Hey, Senior Brother Bai Jie, you've been hiding and practicing. I haven't seen you for a hundred years, how are you?”
"Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Bai Nan. Senior Brother Bai Li, how are you?"
"Sigh, thank you for your concern, Junior Brother.”
"Senior Brother Baihao, your disciple is really amazing. He has won enough face for you.”
"Hehe, this stubborn disciple is not talented. I hope that Junior Brother will give me more pointers in the future. Qingyu, come and greet Master Hundred Herbs."”
……
Looking at everyone in the hall talking about irrelevant topics, the sect leader smiled helplessly and said,"Since all of you are unable to make a decision, I will make the decision for you.”
"Senior Brother Sect Leader." Bai Hao was the first to step forward and say,""Junior apprentice-brother is untalented and shouldn't shoulder such a heavy responsibility. I hope senior apprentice-brother can entrust it to the other junior apprentice-brothers and sisters.”
"Senior Brother Bai Hao, what do you mean?" Bai Li asked. If even you can't teach them well, how can we junior brothers and sisters teach them well?”
"Yes, yes." Bai Nan nodded.
" Junior Brother Hundred Herbs," Bai Jie said." Your alchemy skills are one of the best in our Hollow Jade Temple. How about…"
"Senior Brother, stop fooling around." Bai Cao hurriedly interrupted Bai Jie and said,""If you want to gain a foothold in the cultivation world, you need to have very powerful martial arts. Alchemy is only a small role. If this child joins your sect…"
"Become my disciple?" "In terms of martial arts, Junior Martial Sister Bai Nan is more powerful than me.”
"You're a Hundred Kalpa!" Bai Nan pointed at the Disaster Breaker and scolded," You've really revealed your fox tail. You usually pretend to be a good person in front of me. In fact, you're looking for an opportunity to kill me earlier…"
"Junior Sister, I didn't mean that…" Bai Jie said awkwardly.
"Enough!" The sect leader gently knocked on the armrest, and everyone immediately quieted down.
The sect leader's gaze swept over everyone and finally stopped on Bai Du who had not spoken.
"Junior sister Bai Du, what do you think?”
"Senior Brother, I only accept female disciples, so I won't make any statements.”
The sect leader's gaze stopped on the old Taoist priest and asked,"Martial Uncle, what do you think?”
"Sect Master, I don't think we can continue arguing like this.”
The Sect Leader nodded and smiled.”
"Draw lots."
"Draw lots?"
"Yes, drawing lots is a way to test the will of the heavens. If any Martial Uncle draws a lot, it means that the will of the heavens has allowed Fang Ziyu to become his disciple.”
The sect leader thought for a while and nodded."This idea is not bad. I wonder what opinions do my junior brothers and sisters have?”
"Sect Master." "There are seven people here, including the sect master. The sect master can't take Fang Ziyu as a disciple, and the niece of Bai Du Master can't take male disciples." Thus, excluding the sect leader and Martial Nephew Bai Du, there were a total of five. I think we should prepare six lots..."
"Oh?" "Why do you need to prepare six lots?" the Sect Leader asked with great interest. There are only five people drawing lots."
"Yes, I am. Only one of the six lots had Fang Ziyu's name written on it, while the other five did not. If one of the five Martial Nephews drew the lot with Fang Ziyu's name on it, Fang Ziyu would be under that person's tutelage. If none of the five draw Fang Ziyu's lot, it means that the heavens won't allow Fang Ziyu to become a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple. I could only bring him back to the secular world.”
Everyone agreed with the old Taoist priest's words. If there were only five lots, one of the five would definitely take Fang Ziyu as his disciple. However, if there were six lots, everyone would have a chance not to draw that lot. After calculating in their hearts for a while, everyone realized that this was the best way. They couldn't help but secretly praise their martial uncle for being a wise old man.
Just as everyone thought that this was a good idea, a young and angry voice said,"Enough."
Everyone looked at Xu Aotian in shock. Xu Aotian's face had already turned purple. He shouted,"My brother is not your toy. Don't push him around.”
Looking at Xu Aotian gratefully, Fang Ziyu said,"I don't need pity." After saying that, he turned around and left. Xu Aotian looked at the crowd angrily and followed Fang Ziyu out of the Jade Mirage Palace.
"Wait a minute!" The old Taoist priest and the sect master shouted almost at the same time.
The old Taoist priest stood up slightly and disappeared from the chair. The next moment, he appeared beside Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu. "Little doll, why are you so angry?" Alright. I admit that we were in the wrong just now. We went too far, but this is understandable.”
"Pardonable?" Xu Aotian sneered. Do you think we're three-year-olds?"
With a bitter smile, the old Taoist moved his mouth closer to Fang Ziyu's ear and whispered something. However, Fang Ziyu's face remained calm, without any change.
"Alright." "I promise you." Fang Ziyu suddenly said.”
"Ziyu, you…" Xu Aotian was shocked.
"Brother, let's stay." Fang Ziyu said lightly.”
"But what they did to you just now…"
"They've already apologized. Let's stay.”
Seeing how determined Fang Ziyu was, Xu Aotian said helplessly,""Alright then."
The old Taoist priest clapped his hands with a smile and said,"That's right. Let's decide like this. Ao Tian, you belong to the sect leader, Zi Yu, you belong to the Hundred Tribulations Martial Nephew.”
"Martial Uncle…" Bai Jie shouted.
"Shut up," the old Taoist shouted."It's decided."”
Bai Jie was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He could only snort heavily.
"Alright." "Since these two children have already decided who they belong to, let's bring them to familiarize themselves with the environment first."”
