You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Oh?" Lin Yue was somewhat surprised.

Although he was not familiar with the Main Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall, he knew him to be a significant person of great importance!

Even the God Emperor treated the Main Hall Master with great respect.

After all, the Main Hall Master had already been seated before the dynasty of Great Yong was even established!

While it was unclear how many years this significant person had lived, even the Martial Saint had never heard of anyone living over a thousand years, and given his unique status, even the Martial Saint was respectful in his presence.

Even Princes, other than the Crown Prince, did not have a status comparable to that of the Main Hall Master.

Wu Nu once said, if the Crown Prince was considered the foremost in Martial Arts, then the Ancestor Hall Main Hall Master was undisputedly second.

And the Ancient Hall Master was expected to become the Main Hall Master in the future?

Indeed, he was extraordinary.

"But the Ancient Hall Master has very high criteria for accepting disciples."

Xiahong Baiye said, "Your Highness, although you possess unparalleled talent, you are nevertheless a core member of our Xiahong family. The Ancient Hall Master has ruled the Ancestor Hall for a long time, even if he’s willing to accept Your Highness, it would probably only be as a nominal disciple."

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows.

"However, being a nominal disciple of the Ancient Hall Master is also very good," said Xiahong Baiye. "Just a word from the Ancient Hall Master could provide some protection from the Ancestor Hall, and Your Highness’s situation would be much improved."

"Hopefully," Lin Yue nodded slightly.

The difference between a nominal disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple or a True Disciple was not only in status; the greatest difference was in the guidance from the master.

But with the Human Ancestor’s guidance, he didn’t really need anyone else’s guidance.

If he could be admitted under the Ancient Hall Master and pull the tiger’s skin banner of the Ancient Hall, a little more protection would be sufficient.

That was what he valued most.

Although he was a Prince, he would not pride himself on his nobility and refuse to accept a mentor; even as Princes grew up, they were not as noble as the Hall Masters.

Moreover, he was well aware that as a Prince, seeking mentorship would bring more trouble than benefits.

It was already good enough that he was willing to accept him.

Just then—

"Seventeenth Prince, Baili Fengzhi."

The voice of the Primordial Yang Hall Master suddenly came from above, "Would you two be willing to accept me as your master? His Highness could become my direct disciple, and Baili Fengzhi could be an Inner Sect disciple."

The square initially became silent, then buzzed with astonishment.

The Primordial Yang Hall Master actually wanted to take His Highness as a direct disciple?

In history, no Hall Master had ever taken a core member of the Xiahong family as a direct disciple, this was the first time!

Lin Yue was also slightly taken aback.

The Primordial Yang Hall Master was actually willing to take him as a direct disciple?

"You need not rush to reply."

The Primordial Yang Hall Master said with a smile, "After the other Hall Masters have made their decisions, Your Highness and Baili Fengzhi can then reply to me."

Lin Yue immediately bowed with sincerity, "Thank you, Primordial Yang Hall Master."

Baili Fengzhi also bowed, "Thank you, Primordial Yang Hall Master, Baili Fengzhi will follow His Highness’s decision."

The Primordial Yang Hall Master gave a slight smile and said nothing further.

He was still very confident.

The other Hall Masters were unwilling to spend time teaching a Prince who was doomed never to reach the high ranks of the Ancestor Hall; he alone didn’t care about the struggles for power and simply admired the talent.

Unless the Ancient Hall Master was willing to take the Seventeenth Prince as an Inner Sect disciple, who could match his sincerity?

In the square, the looks people gave Lin Yue had clearly changed.

As long as the Seventeenth Prince was willing, his future was destined to be a direct disciple of a Martial Saint!

Having a Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall willing to protect him and the support of Duke Heng, his path to growth was already much more stable.

"Congratulations, Your Highness," Xiahong Baiye said with a smile, bowing.

"Your Highness."

Baili Fengzhi also looked at Lin Yue with some joy.

"Mm." Lin Yue nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Unless the Ancient Hall Master is willing to take me as an Inner Sect disciple, let’s choose the Primordial Yang Hall Master."

Even though the Ancient Hall Master’s help would be greater, being only a nominal disciple also meant that the Ancient Hall Master did not pay him much attention.

It was better to be a direct disciple of the Primordial Yang Hall Master, who clearly showed great sincerity.

At this moment, a stream of light flew out from deep within the Ancestor Hall.

It was one of the Elders who had gone to report earlier.

The Elder landed in front of Lin Yue, Baili Fengzhi, and Sha Jiu.

Then, he said, "By the order of the Canghai Hall Master, the Canghai Hall Master is willing to take the Seventeenth Prince as a nominal disciple, and Baili Fengzhi as an Inner Sect disciple, and if they are willing, they can reply at any time."

After saying that, the Elder waited on the side.

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows.

The Ancestor Hall really did not want to get too involved with the core members of the Xiahong family, huh? The Canghai Hall Master was only willing to take him as a nominal disciple?

With the Primordial Yang Hall Master willing to take him as a direct disciple, he naturally could not agree.

Baili Fengzhi felt the same way.

She wanted to follow the Prince as much as possible; it would be better to be under the Primordial Yang Hall Master, especially since they were both Inner Sect disciples.

After a moment.

"Whoosh—"

Another Elder flew from deep within the Ancestor Hall.

"By the order of the Yuan Yang Hall Master, the Yuan Yang Hall Master is willing to take the Seventeenth Prince as a nominal disciple, and Baili Fengzhi as a direct disciple; if willing, they may reply at any time."

Lin Yue was still treated as a nominal disciple, while Baili Fengzhi was offered to be a direct disciple.

"Beloved general, you need not force yourself to have the same master as me," Lin Yue shook his head slightly at Baili Fengzhi.

"Unless absolutely necessary, I will try to accompany His Highness," replied Baili Fengzhi firmly.

And Sha Jiu, with no one taking him, was very calm as if it didn’t concern him at all.
