NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3
It Was Only Because It Is A Mission From The System…
Lu Changsheng already knew Ye Qiubai’s location and he also discovered that someone wanted to kill him.
It was not easy for the system to issue a mission. How could it let these brats ruin it?
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai immediately cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Senior!”
Lu Changsheng nodded and looked at the man in black. All of a sudden, a palm landed on the top of his head.
Then, a transparent spirit body stretched out from the top of the man’s head under Ye Qiubai’s terrified gaze!
“This… This is the Soul Searching Technique?”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly. With a flip of his palm, information was transmitted into his mind.
At the same time, the spirit body revealed a pained expression.
He stopped searching after a while as the black-robed man’s soul had long been destroyed.
He looked at Ye Qiubai and said softly, “Do you want to know now?”
Ye Qiubai was stunned for a moment before nodding, his eyes filled with determination.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng did not intend to hide the truth. “Jiang Chan.”
Boom!
Ye Qiubai felt as if he had been struck by lightning hearing this answer. He was stunned on the spot.
He reacted after quite some time, and smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with sorrow.
He wondered about who wanted to get rid of him so quickly.
But he had never thought that this person was actually his childhood sweetheart, the Jiang Chan who wanted to be together for everything when they were young.
“Do you need me to help you solve it?”
Ye Qiubai raised his eyebrows and shook his head. “There’s no need to trouble Senior. I’ll do this myself.”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng also looked impressed.
A man who does not retreat when he is down on his luck.
One could only grow quickly by advancing courageously.
Ye Qiubai cupped his fists and asked, “I will definitely repay Senior’s kindness in the future. May I know Senior’s name…”
Lu Changsheng looked at Ye Qiubai and smiled. “My name is Lu Changsheng. I want to take you in as my disciple. That’s why I’m here.”
Ye Qiubai was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly. “Senior, don’t joke. Now that I’ve lost my cultivation and talent, how can I be qualified to be your disciple?”
Looking at his extraordinary temperament and killing methods just now, he knew that Lu Changsheng was not ordinary. Why would such a person like him like the current him?
Lu Changsheng didn’t say anything. He pointed at Ye Qiubai’s glabella, wanting to check his condition.
[His meridians are filled with sword qi and his foundation is damaged. Both can be repaired and rebuilt with medicinal pills and cultivation techniques.]
Hmm? The system actually have such a function?
“What kind of cultivation technique and medicinal pill?” He asked inwardly.
[I’ll give them to you after you accept Ye Qiubai as your disciple.]
“Senior?”
Lu Changsheng came back to his senses and said with a smile, “If I say that I can help you return to your peak and even maximize your talent, will you come with me?”
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai’s eyes instantly lit up.
Returning to the peak, even far surpassing that peak, wasn’t this what he wanted?
Moreover, seeing that the senior was so confident, he felt that he probably wouldn’t lie to him. He didn’t have anything precious on him anyway.
Why the hell not?
Ye Qiubai immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Changsheng.
“Disciple Ye Qiubai greets Master!”
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s just a discipleship. Why are you kowtowing?”
Ye Qiubai’s expression was serious as he said, “A teacher for a day, a father for life. I naturally have to kowtow.”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng could not help but nod in satisfaction.
His talent was not bad, and his character was passable.
Taking in such a disciple was not bad.
[Completed the disciple recruitment mission and received a disciple recruitment gift bag.]
[Top-grade Sacred Artifact—Green Cloud Sword]
[Primordial Sword Scripture]
[Creation Pill]
[At the same time, the disciple nurturing mission will be activated.]
After hearing the system’s words, Lu Changsheng nodded to himself. He looked at Ye Qiubai and said, “Alright, in that case, follow me.”
…
On the sword, Ye Qiubai asked, “Master, where are we going now?”
“The Hidden Dao Academy.”
The Hidden Dao Academy?!
Ye Qiubai was shocked.
The Hidden Dao Academy was not in Tianyuan City but was there anyone in the Southern Region who didn’t know about the Hidden Dao Academy?
This was the publicly acknowledged place of cultivating Dao in the Southern Region!
“Master is an elder of the Hidden Dao Academy?”
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, “Our force belongs to the Academy, but it’s not under the Academy’s jurisdiction. It’s called the Cottage. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.”
Ye Qiubai shook his head.
This was normal since the Cottage had never done anything earth-shattering after all. In fact, Lu Changsheng had never taken in any disciples after he took over the Cottage.
Ye Qiubai actually wanted to ask what realm his master’s strength was at, but he thought that it wouldn’t be good to ask too much, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
…
The disciples of the Hidden Dao Academy were in the process of being chosen by the elders.
However, most were already done with their selection.
The leftovers were to enter the outer courtyard to study.
Except… There was a woman in red who was extremely stubborn in front of the elders.
“I want to join the Cottage.”
That was the only thing she had said so far.
Then, she stood on the spot with a cold expression.
Moreover, she was the most outstanding person in this batch of students, no, it should be said that she was the most outstanding person for the past few years, be it her identity, talent aptitude, or strength.
This made the elders very helpless.
She didn’t want to become their disciple, so they couldn’t force her after all!
At this moment, two figures flew over on their swords.
“Oh? Is the enrollment not over yet?”
The elders looked at the man on the sword with complicated expressions.
Lu Changsheng was stunned and asked, “What… Is there something on my face?”
One of the elders pointed at the girl on the empty ground and said helplessly, “Lu Changsheng, she wants to join the Cottage.”
She?
He looked at the girl in red at the door. “I want to join the Cottage.” She mentioned it once again.
However, Lu Changsheng refused and said with a smile, “Join the other elders. I don’t accept disciples.”
With that, he led Ye Qiubai into the academy.
“Why?”
The girl was indignant. Her clan wanted her to join the Cottage and had also told her about its history before she came to the Hidden Dao Academy.
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and said, “I’m lazy, I like peace and quiet, so I’m afraid of misleading disciples.”
The elder at the side noticed Ye Qiubai and asked, “Changsheng, who is this?”
“My disciple.”
With that, he led Ye Qiubai into the academy.
“…”
Didn’t you just proclaim that you are lazy, like peace and quiet and are afraid of misleading disciples?
And I thought you didn’t accept disciples?
The elders looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They could only look at the girl and say, “Xin Hongyi, why don’t you choose another elder?”
Xin Hongyi shook her head and cupped her hands. “Since I can’t enter the Cottage, I’ll cultivate by myself.”
She really did not need the guidance of an elder with her family background even though she sounded arrogant.
Xin Hongyi looked in the direction Lu Changsheng had left and said in a low voice, “I will prove myself.”
Clearly, Xin Hongyi thought that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t accept her because he didn’t like her talent and strength.
She did not know that he was really just too lazy!
As for taking in Ye Qiubai? It was only because it was a mission from the system.
