Among the 12 disciples that Cheng Yu had chosen, there were only 4 people in the top 10. Among them, the top 3 had already been chosen. The remaining one was ranked 7th, a Tianshan Sect disciple.
From the start, Cheng Yu had told everyone that the disciples he had chosen were not chosen based on the rankings.
Therefore, the 12 people he had chosen were naturally not the top 12. Other than the 4 people in the top 10, the other 8 were all ranked below 10. There were even 2 people ranked below 20.
This was also what Cheng Yu had chosen from the competition situation that Han Yaowu had sent over every day.
In Cheng Yu's eyes, although these 12 people had strength and potential, there were also some whose strength was only at the top but had a lot of potential.
In fact, this matter itself was rather complicated. Their sect disciples had been chosen but these sect masters were not happy at all.
In their opinion, these disciples would definitely not return. All these years of hard work had all been for the Cheng Family's benefit.
However, there were also some sects that had not been chosen that felt regretful.
These sects were usually rather weak. Especially when Cheng Yu had said that if these disciples were to pass the test, they would be able to become his direct disciple.
Although their sect disciples had become Cheng Yu's direct disciple, even if these disciples were no longer part of their sect, they still believed that their sect had nurtured them.
Now that they had become Cheng Yu's direct disciple, wouldn't they give some benefits to the sect that had nurtured them for so many years?
That was absolutely impossible. They did not believe that the disciples that their sect had nurtured wouldn't have any feelings for them. If that was the case, then their sect had failed.
Therefore, in the eyes of these small sects, not only was this not a bad thing, it was also a very good thing.
Besides, if their sect were to nurture such a talent and be chosen by Cheng Yu as a direct disciple, it would be a good opportunity for them to advertise themselves.
With such a glory, as long as this matter was spread out, it was unknown how many people would send their children to their sect. Wasn't this also a good thing?
Therefore, these sect masters felt that those sect masters who had been chosen as disciples were too pretentious.
Such a good thing, yet they still had a sullen face. They were truly shameless.
However, they could only think about it in their hearts and didn't dare to say it out loud. Otherwise, they would be suppressed to death by these powerful sects.
Among all the sect masters, Daoist Xuan Zhen was the most upset. It was because their Shushan Sect's performance was the most outstanding in the first group competition. The number of top 20 disciples was also the most. In the end, their Shushan Sect disciples were also the most chosen by Cheng Yu.
Among the twelve people, three disciples were from the Shushan Sect, and two of them were ranked second and third. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
As for the other sects, only one disciple was chosen. Even the Netherworld Sect, which took first place, only had one disciple chosen.
As a result, the rest of the sect leaders were secretly laughing. This made Daoist Xuan Zhen even angrier.
Regarding this, Cheng Yu also closed his eyes.
But then again, the disciples he chose did not consider the problems of the sect. All of his choices were carefully selected from his own observation of the battle during the day and the information of Han Yaowu's match at night.
Actually, he only found out that three of Shushan Sect's disciples had been chosen after the results were out.
But even so, it was impossible for him to change his decision. After all, the disciples he had chosen were very important. How could he change his mind just because Shushan Sect had chosen too many disciples?
Besides, he was very clear that it was already extremely lucky for one of them to be chosen. Therefore, these people would still have to return to their own sect. There was no reason for him to change anything.
"Family Head, why is it that our Shushan Sect has so many disciples but they only have one? Isn't this too unfair to our Shushan Sect? "Daoist Xuan Zhen did not speak but their elder Xuan Qingzi could no longer endure it.
However, Daoist Xuan Zhen did not stop him. Obviously, he also supported Xuan Qingzi's questioning of Cheng Yu's decision.
He also felt that Cheng Yu was obviously targeting their Shushan Sect. Therefore, he had intentionally sided with the other sects.
"Unfair? Elder Xuan Qing feels that my choice is very unfair? "Cheng Yu asked nonchalantly.
"Family Head, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Family Head's choice is indeed unfair to our Shushan Sect," Xuan Qingzi clenched his teeth and persisted.
"Shushan Sect's disciples are very outstanding. This is something that everyone can see. Therefore, I chose a few more disciples from your Shushan Sect. This also shows that your Shushan Sect is very strong and has a lot of talented disciples. Isn't this a good thing?
Why was it that from Elder Xuan Qing's words, it seemed like it was a bad thing for Shushan Sect to nurture so many outstanding disciples?
Or perhaps, Elder Xuan Qing still feels that nurturing a few disciples for my Cheng Family has caused you to be very dissatisfied? "The more Cheng Yu spoke, the colder his voice became.
Obviously, everyone could feel that Cheng Yu had already gotten angry.
"No … … I don't dare!" Xuan Qingzi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He felt as if countless swords were stabbing at his body.
"Sect Master Xuan Zhen, I really wish to know if everyone in Shushan Sect thinks so?" Cheng Yu ignored Xuan Qingzi and turned his gaze to Daoist Xuan Zhen as he asked coldly.
"Patriarch, please quell your anger. This is just Junior Brother Xuan Qing's personal opinion. It doesn't represent the entire Shushan Sect's opinion.
For Shushan Sect to be able to nurture a few more outstanding disciples for the Cheng Family, it is our Shushan Sect's honor. How could we not be willing! " Daoist Xuan Zhen felt Cheng Yu's anger. Immediately, he shivered in fear. He quickly explained to Cheng Yu.
"I hope you aren't people who don't mean what you say. Although I have always been easy to talk to, it doesn't mean that you can challenge my bottom line again and again.
Let's not talk about the fact that I still have to return the majority of the disciples to you. Even if I don't return them to you, so what?
Don't forget the current status of your sect in the Cheng Family. Don't forget the promise you made when you begged me to allow you to enter the secular world.
Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Since I have given you face but you don't want it, then I shall make it clear to you.
If you dare to interfere with your own sect's disciples and affect the competition later on, once I find out about it, I will let you know what is called regret. " Cheng Yu spoke sternly. Not giving them any chance to explain, he turned around and left, leaving behind all the sect masters who had a face of horror.
At this moment, their hearts started to tremble.
They had known Cheng Yu for so many years, but Cheng Yu had always been cultured and refined, causing them to feel that Cheng Yu was an extremely shrewd person.
They had never seen Cheng Yu speak such harsh words before.
This time, it was very obvious that their self-righteous petty tricks had thoroughly angered Cheng Yu.
They had to admit that Cheng Yu's anger caused everyone to tremble. It was as if they had seen the scene of Cheng Yu annihilating Kunlun back then, causing them to be even more fearful.
"Hmph! Now that you have offended the Family Head, your Shushan Sect is going to suffer! "Yu Lingzi laughed coldly. Following that, he brought along a few elders and left.
The other sect masters didn't speak, but they also brought their own people and left.
Cheng Yu's anger caused them to be afraid. They didn't dare to get too close to Shushan Sect, in case they got implicated.
"Sect Master Xuan Zhen, your actions are no different from provoking the Cheng Family. It's truly unwise.
Compared to losing a few disciples, it's not worth it to anger the Family Head, "Daoist Cang Song spoke to Shushan Sect before bringing his people and left.
"Hmph! These fellows really know how to add insult to injury. As it turns out, the Family Head didn't choose them.
How about letting them send out so many people? Let's see if they would be more calculative than us.
However, the Family Head was too unkind this time. Only our Shushan Sect had chosen three disciples. Furthermore, two of them were the most outstanding disciples. If it was someone else, who would be able to accept it? "Xuan Qingzi spoke disdainfully.
"Don't mention this matter anymore." Daoist Xuan Zhen was also extremely dissatisfied. He was even more unhappy with Cheng Yu's favoritism.
However, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Although their Shushan Sect had developed quite well these few years, compared to the Cheng Family, it was nothing.
However, it was too late to say anything now. They had already offended Cheng Yu. They had no idea if Cheng Yu would target Shushan Sect in the upcoming competition.
Otherwise, their Shushan Sect would suffer a huge loss this time. Almost all the outstanding disciples would be chosen by the Cheng Family.
"If we knew it would turn out like this, we wouldn't have chosen so many outstanding disciples just for the resources.
The Family Head had obviously set a trap for us. He thought that they would no longer need to choose disciples from the lower sects.
This time, we really went for wool and came home shorn. Our losses are huge. "Xuan Qingzi was infuriated.
Although he had angered Cheng Yu, he was also very angry in his heart. He felt that their Shushan Sect had been played by Cheng Yu.
"What's the point of saying all this now? Fortunately, the rewards that the Family Head had provided were not bad. Although we had already lost three disciples, we had at least obtained two of the top three spots. The rewards were also very generous.
Furthermore, this time, our Shushan Sect could be considered to have shown our face in front of all the other sects. After the competition ends, we will publicize this matter. Our Shushan Sect will definitely become famous.
When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of people who wish to enter our Shushan Sect to cultivate. When that time comes, would we still need to be afraid of not being able to find a few disciples with potential? "Daoist Xuan Zhen was looking at the future.
Although losing a few outstanding disciples was not something that could make anyone happy, at least it wasn't all bad news.
"Even so, even if we were able to find another seedling with potential, to nurture them to this stage, not only would we need a lot of resources, we would also need a lot of time," Xuan Qingzi said.
