Although he and Xiao Yang had a conflict, it was already in the past. Who would think about those unhappy things? Presumably, Xiao Yang wouldn't be so stingy.
He immediately said to Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, I think you shouldn't hesitate. Just follow this old man. This old man also doesn't have a disciple. This old man also promises you that in this lifetime, I will only take you as my disciple. I will pass on all my skills to you."
After he spoke to Xiao Yang, he turned around and glanced at the others. He coldly snorted and said, "All of you, quiet down. What are you all talking about?"
The Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Ten Pavilion Lords, and many other Pavilion Elders were dissatisfied with the Great Elder's strength, but they couldn't do anything about it. They could only bitterly smile. At this time, no one dared to raise any objections. They could only secretly curse the Great Elder for being shameless. Just a moment ago, he looked like he wanted to kill Xiao Yang. Now, he shamelessly wanted to snatch Xiao Yang away. He was simply too shameless. The older he got, the thicker his skin became.
The Great Elder saw that the originally chaotic scene had quieted down because of his words. He also let out a sigh of relief and felt satisfied with his prestige. Just now, he was really afraid that the others would fight with him over the spoils.
He secretly thought, 'Xiao Yang, did you see that? With just a word from this old man, they all submitted. From this, you can see my prestige and strength.
This Xiao Yang will most likely choose me. '
The Great Elder was even more proud. He glanced at the other higher-ups with contempt. The corner of his mouth curled up. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Facing the First Elder's invitation, Lan Jiaoye, Gu Qianqian, and the others were even more shocked. Their faces were filled with disbelief, and their eyes were filled with shock. They hurriedly urged Xiao Yang: "Cousin, quickly accept, what are you waiting for?"
It was obvious that in their eyes, the head elder was much more powerful than the second and third elders. He was basically the second-in-command of the Poison Sect. As long as he was under this person's name, Xiao Yang's status would rise as well. Who would dare bully them in the future? Only they could bully others.
Xiao Yang could only smile bitterly and did not agree.
What a joke! The only reason he came to the Poison Sect was because he fancied the Poison Sect's cultivation grounds. He didn't care about any of their statuses, nor did he care about their abilities or cultivation bases. Thinking back to his previous life, he had been the Eternal Poison Sovereign. If he wanted to learn anything, wouldn't it be as easy as flipping his hand? He didn't need a master at all.
He really wanted to refuse, but in the face of so many passionate invitations, he couldn't very well refuse. That would only offend them.
Especially in front of the First Elder, it was even harder to refuse. He'd had a conflict with the First Elder before and had almost shed all pretenses of cordiality. If he refused now, the others would think he was being petty and unable to let go of the past. This put Xiao Yang in a very difficult position.
"Xiao Yang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and accept me as your master. Who knows how many disciples have wanted to enter this old man's tutelage, but I've rejected them all. You're the only disciple this old man wants to accept. "
The First Elder spoke arrogantly so that Xiao Yang would understand that it was his honor to be chosen.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yang still didn't relent. This made the First Elder think that Xiao Yang still couldn't let go of his grudge from before. He could only turn to Xiao Yang and say, "Xiao Yang, could it be that you still blame me?"
"No, no, no, of course not."
Xiao Yang hurriedly explained.
However, the First Elder didn't listen to Xiao Yang's explanation at all. He pretended to be angry and snorted, "Xiao Yang, you can't be so petty as a person."
Xiao Yang clearly didn't take the previous matter to heart, but when the First Elder said this, it seemed that Xiao Yang was a petty person. This made Xiao Yang feel bitter, but he couldn't defend himself.
After the First Elder pretended to be angry, he immediately pretended to be wronged and lowered his voice to compromise. He begged Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, it's all in the past. It's all my fault, okay? I couldn't distinguish right from wrong and almost wronged you. For this, I apologize to you. I'm sorry, please forgive me. That Li Xingzong was so despicable. So what if he was killed? It's not a big deal. Look, even my old bones are like this. You can't refuse me, right? "
The First Elder took advantage of his seniority to speak. Everyone couldn't help but curse him for being shameless when they saw this.
With the situation already like this, if Xiao Yang still refused, then that would mean that he didn't understand how to empathize with the elderly and let go of the past. This would greatly affect Xiao Yang's righteous and imposing image.
Xiao Yang found it extremely difficult to persist.
After all, the First Elder was the second-in-command of the Poison Sect. If you refuse the second-in-command's invitation, what else do you want? You want the first-in-command's invitation? What if the first-in-command doesn't invite you? Won't you become a joke? When you want to rely on the second-in-command again, the second-in-command might not want you. As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't eat pasture. If you become a horse that everyone disdains, then the situation will be terrible.
Lan Jiaoye, Gu Qianqian, and the others were all anxious for Xiao Yang.
Just as Xiao Yang was feeling troubled, the Poison Sect Master spoke up.
He said authoritatively, "Everyone, don't make things difficult for Xiao Yang. This Xiao Yang is an acquaintance of mine. Back in Chaos City, he even made great contributions by defeating Lord Yin's general, Ghost Charm. At that time, I promised to reward Xiao Yang handsomely. How about it? Xiao Yang, come and be this sect master's disciple. This is your reward. "
After saying this, the Poison Sect Master was afraid that Xiao Yang would misunderstand his authoritative indifference and reject him, so he immediately squeezed out a smile. This was really too difficult for him. He hadn't smiled in all these years. This time, in order to accept Xiao Yang as his disciple, he had to force a smile. How comical was that?
When his expression fell into the eyes of the Poison Sect's upper echelons, they were all stunned. Holy shit, this Xiao Yang is actually so awesome that the sect master would personally accept him as his disciple. This is too incredible. Just what kind of background does this Xiao Yang have? He can even defeat Lord Yin's general, Ghost Charm?
When they saw the Poison Sect Master force a smile, they were all stunned. Damn, how many years has it been since the sect master smiled? Now, he's actually yielding to this extent for a mere Xiao Yang. This is simply rare.
They wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. The Poison Sect Master's comical smile really hit their funny bone.
As for Lan Jiaoye, Gu Qianqian, and the others, they were all shocked to the point of no return. It was as if thunder had struck their minds, causing their minds to go blank.
