Chapter 378: Chapter 397 The Chaos in Zhongzhou
Outside the house,
Chu Yuan was deep in thought.
He just had to not accept the person as a disciple, right?
Recruiting someone to serve tea and water wouldn’t deduct from one’s realm, would it?
The child seemed to have a strong future ahead of him.
In the future, he could very well act as a bodyguard for him.
With this thought, Chu Yuan’s eyes shone brightly.
Indeed, it should be this way.
With this in mind,
Chu Yuan’s gaze fell upon the child.
He was about to say something
when Mo Yin the Elder, standing beside him, thought Chu Yuan was about to refuse.
“Sect Master Chu, I absolutely mean no joke. The boy’s talent is truly passable! Please accept this young one!”
Mo Yin the Elder’s voice carried a hint of imploring.
He truly did not want to see the child end up languishing in the Mortal Realm.
It would have been an unfortunate fate for someone with top-notch talent to merely waste time in the Mortal Realm.
Therefore, Mo Yin the Elder was very keen for Chu Yuan to take the child with him.
As long as the child could be taken by Chu Yuan, he believed the future would certainly allow him to become a top-notch powerhouse.
It wasn’t because of anything else.
The mere words “Hidden Sect of the East State, Sect Without Dao” were enough to represent everything.
“Alright then, since you put it that way, it seems this little one indeed has some talent. I can accept you as an attendant by my side, would you like that?”
Chu Yuan spoke with a light and breezy tone, smoothly following up on Mo Yin the Elder’s words.
It sounded as if he was saving face for Mo Yin the Elder by taking in this child, Xu Yu.
Having said this,
Chu Yuan turned his gaze to the child Xu Yu,
waiting for Xu Yu’s response.
However, Xu Yu had no idea what was happening, and stood there dumbly, confused and dazed.
Mo Yin the Elder, on the other hand, became anxious.
“What are you dawdling for, you brat? Kneel down and show your respects to Sect Master Chu!”
Mo Yin the Elder smacked Xu Yu on the head, speaking in frustration.
In his view, it was good enough for Chu Yuan to accept Xu Yu.
Let alone taking him as an attendant.
“Ah? Greetings, Sect Master Chu.”
Xu Yu, slow to catch on, clumsily knelt down and paid his respects to Chu Yuan.
“You may dispense with the formalities. Since I have taken you as an attendant, you shall accompany me back to the Sect. Let’s go.”
Chu Yuan waved his hand, ready to leave with Xu Yu right away.
“We’re leaving just like that?”@@novelbin@@
Xu Yu was somewhat astonished.
“What, you want to stay here and celebrate the New Year? Hurry and leave with Sect Master Chu!”
Mo Yin the Elder’s eyes grew wide.
At this critical moment, he almost wished he could directly pick Xu Yu up and attach him to Chu Yuan’s side.
“But… but I want to say goodbye to my father and mother.”
Xu Yu hesitated before speaking out softly.
“What’s the rush for that? You can return once you’ve made progress in your practice. Isn’t it the same?”
Mo Yin the Elder said so.
“No matter, if you wish to go back and take a look, then go. I will wait here for you for half an hour. Whether you return or not in half an hour, I will leave. Do you understand?”
Chu Yuan said indifferently.
Upon hearing this,
both Xu Yu and Mo Yin the Elder were taken aback, seemingly surprised by Chu Yuan’s accommodating response.
Mo Yin the Elder reacted quickly, however,
and swiftly turned toward Xu Yu.
“You little rascal, aren’t you going to thank Sect Master Chu?”
Mo Yin the Elder urged repeatedly.
“Thank you, Sect Master Chu,”
Xu Yu said with his head lowered.
“Now go, and remember, I will only wait for half an hour.”
Chu Yuan waved his hand and spoke dismissively.
Upon hearing these words,
Xu Yu, despite his tender age, understood their meaning and quickly turned to run toward his home.
Very soon,
only Chu Yuan and Mo Yin the Elder remained in the area.
“Sect Master Chu, thank you very much. This child truly should not be buried in this village, not be buried in this Mortal Realm.”
Mo Yin the Elder expressed his gratitude with great sincerity.
“It’s nothing,”
Chu Yuan said, gently shaking his head.
He didn’t care to pay attention to Mo Yin the Elder.
Instead, he was carefully contemplating.
How exactly he could teach Xu Yu to be successful.
This kind of true talent, a disciple guaranteed by the system to succeed, cannot be taught carelessly like Ye Luo and the others.
He must be taught seriously.
Chu Yuan was estimating that he seemed to have nothing of great value to offer.
The only real cultivation text seemed to be the “Basic Cultivation Technique for the Early Qi Refining Stage.”
The only divine weapon, not counting the Divination Tube in his storage bag, appeared to be the Crimson Longsword.
Considering how to give serious instruction, he wasn’t sure how to proceed.
Chu Yuan pondered deeply.
Seeing Chu Yuan silent and thoughtful, Mo Yin the Elder didn’t dare to say much more and stood quietly beside Chu Yuan.
Meanwhile, Xu Yu had not been gone long.
About the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he returned.
Accompanied by his parents.
When Xu Yu’s parents heard that an Immortal Master wanted to take their son as a disciple, they didn’t dare to talk excessively. After giving some instructions, they hurriedly sent their child back.
Upon his return, they expressed their warm gratitude to Chu Yuan.
They knew what it meant for an Immortal Master to accept Xu Yu as a disciple.
It meant their son could step onto the Immortal Path, and if he were to succeed in the future, he would no longer be constrained by the necessities of life.
Chu Yuan didn’t put on any airs and had a warm conversation with Xu Yu’s parents.
Only then did he lead Xu Yu away, returning in the direction of the Wayless Sect.
…
At the same time,
elsewhere, in Zhongzhou.
At this moment, Zhongzhou was plunged into chaos.
Perhaps even Su Xi had not expected.
What was originally a conflict between the Tianyan Sect and the Morning Immortal Palace,
under Su Xi’s manipulation, escalated into war.
But both parties, unknowingly, drew in a myriad of relationships.
As things progressed,
nearly a thousand sects big and small within Zhongzhou joined the turmoil.
The Holy Lands of Zhongzhou also began to take sides.
Zhongzhou was enveloped in chaos.
There was even a faint trend of spreading further.
Some sects felt unsafe, so they invited sects from outside Zhongzhou to join in.
The disturbance showed signs of spreading throughout the Divinity Continent.
Atop a high mountain,
Su Xi stood at the summit, wearing a pale red garment, her eyes shining with a purple light that was eerily unsettling.
Around her, invisible Strings of Fate existed.
One end of these strings connected to Su Xi, while the other end poured into the void, invisible to where they specifically led.
A rough count suggested that there were perhaps hundreds of strings connected to Su Xi.
Since Su Xi began her schemes in Zhongzhou, her ability to control the Strings of Fate became increasingly abnormal.
Controlling several hundred cultivators at once was even within her easy reach.
However, Su Xi was currently feeling a bit of a headache.
Her original intention was only to use the Morning Immortal Palace to destroy the Tianyan Sect.
Unexpectedly, the Tianyan Sect turned out to be surprisingly cunning.
It pulled in a whole heap of connections.
Now, the situation in Zhongzhou had completely slipped from Su Xi’s control.
This caused Su Xi quite the headache…
