Chapter 1550: Do You Know Her Evaluation? (Second Update)
Xue Hanyue could reject and ignore the romantic pursuits and advances of countless young talents, but if anyone dared to ignore her, it would bother her.
This mindset is like, "If we're dating and want to break up, that's fine, but it has to be me who dumps you, not you who dumps me."
Just as Xue Hanyue was intently staring at Su Chen...
"Su Chen!!! Come back with me!" A deep voice, suppressing anger, reverberated.
Then, a middle-aged figure appeared.
He appeared beside Su Chen.
Li Buxiu.
Indeed, it was Li Buxiu.
Li Buxiu's appearance quieted all the previous discussions.
They were replaced by countless envious glances.
That was Li Buxiu! The Lineage Master of Xuanmie Peak! The Vice Pavilion Master of Xuanshi Divine Pavilion!
Although Xuanmie Peak had declined, Li Buxiu was still the Lineage Master and Vice Pavilion Master. Even in death, a skinny camel is still larger than a horse!
What virtue and ability does this kid in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain have to make Li Buxiu personally appear?
Rumor has it that this kid is Li Buxiu's disciple; on his first day joining Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, he became Li Buxiu's disciple. Many didn't believe it, but now, it seems the rumors were entirely true!
Moreover, not only is this kid Li Buxiu's disciple, he is highly regarded by Li Buxiu.
Otherwise, with Li Buxiu's status, why would he personally come to persuade Su Chen?
"Master." Su Chen was a bit surprised; he glanced at Li Buxiu, then bowed.
"You still recognize me as your Master? Boy, what are you up to? Do you know what Eliminate Red is? You planned to do it alone? Follow me back. When it's time for Eliminate Red, I'll inform you." Li Buxiu sternly reprimanded.
He truly valued Su Chen.
From the instant Su Chen defeated Feng Yitong and Fang Mi effortlessly... Li Buxiu had already decided to nurture Su Chen well.
Su Chen was the hope for the rise of Xuanmie Peak.
He even hoped that Su Chen could become the second person after him to successfully cultivate the "Nine Sun and Moon Apertures".
"Master. Forgive me for not complying." Su Chen felt warm inside; it was clear that Li Buxiu cared about him.
"You…" Li Buxiu was directly rendered speechless; Su Chen actually refused?!!! This audacious boy!
"Master, I am confident." Su Chen continued.
Li Buxiu's face darkened with anger.
He even contemplated taking action and forcefully taking Su Chen away.
However, at that moment, a voice reached Li Buxiu's ears.
"Immortal, let him be."
The voice belonged to the Pavilion Master.
Li Buxiu instantly comprehended.
"If he really encounters danger during Eliminate Red, this pavilion will intervene." Ling Tuanzhi's voice continued to echo in Li Buxiu's ears.
Li Buxiu froze in place, shockwaves rose within him.
The Pavilion Master personally appeared?!
How could it be?
As Pavilion Master of the Divine Pavilion, Ling Tuanzhi was elusive; given that the Four Great Divine Pavilions in Great Luo Heaven holds such a transcendent status, never facing any danger, lacking neither Cultivation Technique, martial skill, nor Martial Cultivation Resources, the Pavilion Master's usual activity was cultivation and secluded cultivation...
All matters within the Divine Pavilion were usually entrusted to the nine Vice Pavilion Masters and a few Deacon Hall leaders.
Especially the trivial matter of Eliminate Red, which should never have alarmed Ling Tuanzhi!
But the reality...
Li Buxiu wasn't a fool; he realized instantly that his disciple might be even more astonishing than he had imagined, likely harboring more secrets!!!
Given the Pavilion Master's presence and words, Li Buxiu was no longer worried.
"Boy, do well." Li Buxiu gave Su Chen a deep look and retreated.
"Thank you, Master." Though he didn't understand why Li Buxiu suddenly changed his mind, it was a positive turn.
At the same moment.
The hidden Ling Tuanzhi's gaze flickered slightly, and he turned to the elder beside him: "Elder Yon, what brings you here as well?"
He actually used the respectful form of address.
Ling Tuanzhi was utterly astonished.
"I instructed this lad to undergo Eliminate Red; naturally, I must come to observe." The elder was indeed the Deacon Elder from the sixth layer of Xuanbao Pavilion.
Ling Tuanzhi was even more surprised.
"Pavilion Master, you somewhat underestimated Zhao Funí's discerning eye." Elder Yon smoothed his beard and smiled: "Pavilion Master, do you know? Once, someone found Zhao Funí after Eliminate Red and sought to become her disciple; I was present. Do you know how Zhao Funí responded?"
Ling Tuanzhi's face changed.
That person?!
He certainly knew whom Elder Yon referred to. It was an enormous pain and secret within Xuanshi Divine Pavilion's history, buried deeply.
Everything was due to that person, that individual.
Even though millions of years had passed, thinking of that person still sent a chill down Ling Tuanzhi's spine.
Elder Yon continued: "At that time, Zhao Funí didn't hesitate and directly rejected that person, saying that their talent was only average. Not worth accepting."
"What?" Ling Tuanzhi sharply inhaled; others didn't know how terrifying that person was, but he did!!! If not for the colossal mistake that person made back then, the position of Divine Pavilion Master would never have fallen to Ling Tuanzhi.
In Ling Tuanzhi's mind, that person was far more terrifying than the current so-called "once-in-a-million-years monster", Gu Taisheng.
Elder Yon's gaze became deep, raising a finger toward Su Chen: "And Zhao Funí's evaluation of this young man is 'unprecedented, unlikely to be surpassed'. She also stated that she was unqualified to take him as a disciple."
"What?" Ling Tuanzhi's mind buzzed, almost exploding.
Wasn't this evaluation a bit excessively high?
Although he knew Zhao Funí was extremely favorable towards this lad, he hadn't imagined it to such an extent.
"By the way, Zhao Funí hasn't yet shared one thing with you, and today, I'll let you know: Do you understand the price Xuanshi Divine Pavilion paid for this lad's joining?" Elder Yon chuckled.
"Huh?" Ling Tuanzhi's breath slightly hitched; wasn't it always Great Luo Heaven's geniuses who made sacrifices to join Xuanshi Divine Pavilion? When did it turn around? This lad joined Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, and Xuanshi Divine Pavilion paid the price?
"The price is that, from the moment he joined Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, Xuanshi Divine Pavilion would be at a perpetual stand-off with Jiucang Divine Pavilion and Taiyuan Divine Pavilion." Elder Yon said distinctly: "Attacked jointly by two Divine Pavilions, Xuanshi Divine Pavilion will face hardships, even constant risk of annihilation."
"..." Ling Tuanzhi held his breath!!! He only felt his ears malfunctioned!
In the next moment, Ling Tuanzhi abruptly turned, eyes wide, looking toward Elder Yon: "Elder Yon, you must be joking?"
