"Thank you for your reward, Sect Master!"
Ling Xiao wasn't an insatiable person.
Chang Yue Ying's treatment of him this time was indeed very generous.
Next, he had to consider three requests.
Chang Yueying had made it very clear that as long as his request wasn't excessive and the sect could do it, they would agree.
Of course, this was considered polite, so Luo Yunyang still had to consider it carefully.
After pondering this for a while, Ling Xiao made a decision.
"Sect Master, my first request is that the Yuehua School can bestow upon my master, Master Baiyun, the status of an inner sect disciple!"
This had always been Master Baiyun's dream. His only wish before he died.
The reason he wanted to nurture an outstanding disciple into the Yuehua School was that he hoped to contribute to the sect so that the sect could bestow upon him the status of an inner sect disciple again.
Perhaps this was just an empty title for Ling Xiao, but it was a lifelong pursuit for Master Baiyun.
Even though Ling Xiao and Master Baiyun had some unpleasant experiences in the past, Ling Xiao wouldn't be where he was today without Master Baiyun.
Ling Xiao wasn't an ungrateful person like Ming Tian.
Furthermore, Master Baiyun was guarding the Divine Sword Sect for him. If he could fulfill Master Baiyun's wish, Master Baiyun would definitely do his best.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Ling Xiao's request. Then, many of the higher-ups nodded their heads.
"Even though he's in the sect, he doesn't forget his master in the secular world. Based on his character, he isn't the kind of person who would betray his master. He can't be nurtured!"
If Heavenly Venerable Occult Flame was here, he would definitely object.
Unfortunately, The Flame Deity was seriously injured and was still recuperating. Thus, he couldn't leave the Volcano Palace.
"This request is to repay a debt of gratitude. I agree to it!"
Chang Yueying nodded with a smile. Clearly, her impression of Ling Xiao had improved a lot.
"My second request is that the sect can release a Yuan Venerate."
Ling Xiao had considered this request carefully. Actually, it wasn't too excessive. The suppression of a Yuan Venerate was entirely due to the Law Enforcement Hall's bias towards The Flame Deity.
In fact, the Yuan Venerate had never done anything detrimental to the Yuehua School. On the contrary, he was Yang Danlin's friend and could even help the Yuehua School at a critical moment.
If he thought about it carefully, Yuehua School would not object to it.
"The Yuan Venerate is not related to you in any way. Why would you release him?"
Chang Yue Ying asked doubtfully.
"Sect Master, the Yuan Venerate is a friend of my benefactor, Old Hall Master Yang Danlin. I have also received his guidance in the past and have some achievements in array formations and alchemy. Therefore, he can be considered half a master to me. Thus, I sincerely request that the Sect Master release him."
Ling Xiao replied. "The Yuan Venerate and Old Hall Master Yang are close friends and have never done anything detrimental to the Yuehua School. He even helped Old Hall Master Yang develop many good pill formulas. He can be considered half a Yuehua School member. The Law Enforcement Hall suppressed him because of The Flame Deity. I have always felt guilty and uneasy."
After all, the incident with The Flame Deity had happened because of him.
"No! The Yuan Venerate must not be released! "
Elder Jin panicked once again.
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. Chang Yueying might have hesitated. However, his words made Chang Yueying make up her mind.
"Oh? What is the reason for the Law Enforcement Hall's Head to say this?
He injured Mo Yan. How can he be released so easily? "
Elder Jin roared.
"To think that you are the Law Enforcement Hall's Head. Do you really think that I don't know anything about what happened that day? The reason I didn't interfere was because I didn't want to get into a conflict with the Law Enforcement Hall! "
Chang Yueying's expression turned cold. "Mo Yan actually disregarded his status as an inner sect elder and injured an outer sect disciple in Guanghan Hall. He almost killed the outer sect disciple. I won't pursue this matter. How dare you protect him?"
There were some things that the sect could only be happy if everyone turned a blind eye to.
However, Chang Yueying wouldn't be careless if someone really wanted to take this matter seriously.
Elder Jin's expression kept changing. In the end, he shut his mouth and didn't say anything else.
"Ling Xiao, I will also agree to your second request. I will release the Yuan Venerate today!"
"Thank you, Sect Master, for being lenient with me. I pledge my loyalty to the Yuehua School and the Sect Master!"
Whether Ling Xiao's words were sincere or not, only he himself knew, but he was indeed grateful to Chang Yue Ying.
Furthermore, after this incident, his resentment toward the Yuehua School wasn't that deep.
This sect had many problems and many people who made people unhappy. However, there were also people like Yang Danlin, Wanghan Tianzun, Heavenly Venerate Golden Light, Sect Master Chang Yueying and many others who could be considered fair and just.
"Tell me your third request. Your first two requests were for the sake of others. You still have to consider this last request for your own sake."
Chang Yueying reminded him kindly.
Ling Xiao naturally had the same intention.
Master Baiyun and the Yuan Venerate were both his masters.
However, Master Baiyun was a master in the secular world.
The Yuan Venerate was a master that couldn't be made public for the time being.
The first two requests were for their sake, so Ling Xiao couldn't shirk his responsibility.
However, he had to consider this last request for his own sake.
"Disciple's third request is that I hope to be able to acknowledge the Sect Master as my master!"
Ling Xiao said respectfully.
In the Mystic Realm, there was no such thing as only having one master.
There was a saying left behind by ancient sages: "When three people walk together, they are bound to have a master."
Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, people who truly achieved heaven-defying achievements often had more than one master.
There was once a senior expert from the Yuehua School who had reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Before he passed away, he had acknowledged as many as 99 masters.
The rest of the people had at least three or four masters.
Of course, there was an unwritten rule here. Within the same sect, one could only acknowledge one master.
Master Baiyun was considered a master in the secular world, so strictly speaking, he wasn't included.
The Yuan Venerate wasn't a member of the Yuehua School, so this didn't affect him.
Therefore, Ling Xiao was completely qualified and should find another senior expert of virtue and prestige to acknowledge as his master.
In this way, even Elder Jin and Empyrean Demonflame would definitely not dare to openly harm him. Now that he had completely displayed his impressive aptitude, he believed that it was not impossible for him to become the disciple of Headmaster Chang Yueying.
Upon hearing Ling Xiao's request, Yang Danlin nodded repeatedly.
Wanghan Tianzun and Heavenly Venerate Golden Light looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In fact, both of them wanted to accept Ling Xiao as their disciple, but unfortunately, their cultivation wasn't as good as Sect Master Chang Yueying's. This kid really knew how to choose his master.
However, Elder Jin angrily rebuked, "How dare you! A mere outer sect disciple actually made such an excessive request to acknowledge the Sect Master as his master. Do you know that even if you have a divine-grade treasure body, even if you are one of the top ten core disciples, none of them have been accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master. Who do you think you are? "
As he spoke, Elder Jin didn't hide his terrifying aura, trying to use this aura to suppress Ling Xiao and make Ling Xiao give up on this idea.
