All the elders in the hall were shocked. Although inner sect disciples were qualified to have an elder as their master, it was only a qualification. In reality, very few inner sect disciples were so lucky. There were so many inner sect disciples in the sect, but there were only a few dozen elders. Naturally, not everyone could have an elder as their master. Moreover, some elders were not willing to accept disciples at all.
Now that the Sect Grand Elder had asked this question in front of everyone, it was clear that he intended to help Su Wan 'er. Since the Sect Grand Elder had asked this question in front of everyone, the elders in the hall could not remain silent. Otherwise, they would be humiliating the Sect Grand Elder.
There were many elders in the hall, but they fell silent for a moment. If she was a talented and intelligent disciple, it would not be a big deal to accept her as a disciple. However, Su Wan 'er was only a low-level outer-sect disciple. No one knew how talented she was. Moreover, outer-sect disciples generally had low cultivation and a low starting point. Very few people were willing to accept such a disciple.
However, since the Sect Grand Elder had asked this question in person, someone had to accept Su Wan 'er. Otherwise, wouldn't that offend the Sect Grand Elder?
"Sect Grand Elder, since Su Wan 'er has become an inner sect disciple, I will accept her as my disciple," a beautiful middle-aged woman said as she stepped forward.
She looked at Su Wan 'er with a meaningful smile. She was dressed in a brocade robe and was adorned with jewels. There was an unconcealable murderous aura in her eyes. She did not look like someone who was easy to get along with.
When Wan 'er saw the beautiful middle-aged woman step forward, her face suddenly turned pale. Her eyes became flustered as if she had seen some wild beast.
When the surrounding elders saw the beautiful middle-aged woman step forward, they were all slightly stunned. However, they seemed to have thought of something and smiled in sudden realization. There was an inexplicable meaning in their smiles.
The Sect Grand Elder, Wang He, frowned. He glanced at Wan 'er and said plainly, "Besides Elder Fu, are there no other elders willing to accept Su Wan' er as their disciple?"
"Sect Grand Elder, I am the only female elder here. It would be somewhat inconvenient for other elders to accept Wan 'er as their disciple. Moreover, they are usually busy and most of them have disciples. It would be inappropriate for them to accept Su Wan' er as their disciple," the beautiful middle-aged woman said with a smile.
The middle-aged beauty said with a smile as she swept a glance at the surrounding elders.
When the elders saw this, they all fell silent. Everyone understood Elder Fu's intentions. If they stood up and fought with her for Su Wan 'er now, they would offend this woman. Moreover, they were indeed unwilling to accept an outer-sect disciple like Su Wan' er as their disciple.
"Grand Elder, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for Elder Fu to accept Wan 'er. I've cultivated painstakingly, but I don't have a single disciple. I'm willing to accept Wan' er as my disciple."
A voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, and a person walked in. It was a middle-aged woman, and her clothes were not as luxurious as Elder Fu's. Her clothes were simple and plain.
The moment this person entered, he swept a cold glance at Elder Fu.
"Elder Mei Yixuan, I said that I would accept Su Wan 'er as my disciple first. Are you trying to snatch my disciple away from me?" Elder Fu's expression turned cold when she saw the middle-aged woman.
"Fu Yu, don't go overboard with some things. Everyone knows what happened back then. Wan 'er is just a little girl. Are you not going to let her go?"
Mei Yixuan said coldly.
Mei Yixuan's appearance caused all the elders in the hall to look at each other in dismay. Then, none of them spoke. This matter had nothing to do with them, and no one was willing to get into trouble.
Wan 'er's face was pale, and she did not dare to look at Fu Yu. She stood in the hall, trembling.
The expressions of the elders in the hall changed slightly. Although everyone knew about this matter, very few people dared to say it out loud.
"Mei Yixuan, are you courting death?" Fu Yu looked at Mei Yixuan sinisterly. She actually dared to threaten an elder.
"Grand Supreme Elder, Yixuan thinks that accepting a disciple is a matter between two parties. You should consult Wan 'er first. Both Fu Yu and I are willing to accept Wan' er as our disciple.
It's up to Wan 'er to decide who she will choose. "Mei Yixuan ignored Fu Yu and looked at the Grand Supreme Elder, Wang He.
"Su Wan 'er, who are you willing to choose as your master?" Wang He looked at Su Wan' er.
"Wan 'er hopes that Elder Mei Yixuan can be my master," Wan' er said hurriedly. She was afraid that the Grand Supreme Elder would make Fu Yu her master.
"Hmm, if that's the case, then …" Wang He nodded.
"Grand Supreme Elder, you should think twice before you act. Mei Yixuan is not qualified to compete with me." Before the Grand Supreme Elder could finish speaking, Fu Yu interrupted him. Her tone was very indifferent.
Wang He's expression darkened. He said expressionlessly, "This matter has been decided. There is no need to discuss it further. Inner sect disciples have the right to choose their own master. From now on, Su Wan 'er will be Mei Yixuan's disciple."
"Grand Supreme Elder, you are wise," Mei Yixuan said with a bow. The Grand Supreme Elder was obviously helping Wan 'er.
The other elders in the hall were all silent. They were like zombies, not participating in any argument.
"How dare you! Very well. It looks like many people do not understand who controls the Five Tigers Sect. Wang He, just you wait. "
Fu Yu snorted coldly and swung her hand. She had actually threatened the Grand Supreme Elder in front of so many people.
Wang He's expression was extremely ugly. He looked at Fu Yu's back and clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
The elders in the hall all lowered their heads as if they had not seen anything. They could not afford to offend either side. At this moment, no one dared to speak.
Although Fu Yu was only an elder of the Five Tigers Sect, she was also the wife of the young sect leader. Of course, this was not enough for her to look down on even the Grand Supreme Elder. What truly made everyone afraid was her identity as the daughter of the Baili Sect sect leader.
Fu Yu had always been domineering in the Five Tigers Sect. She had never been afraid of anyone. Even the sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect was nothing to her. Because the Baili Sect was behind her, no one could do anything to her.
The reason why she was so against Su Wan 'er was because of the past. Almost all the elders who had been in the Five Tigers Sect for decades knew about what had happened.
Back then, Wan 'er's father had been an elder of the Five Tigers Sect. He was extremely talented and had Qi Nucleation realm cultivation at a young age. He was one of the candidates to become the next Grand Supreme Elder of the Five Tigers Sect. When she was young, Fu Yu had fallen in love with Wan 'er's father and hoped that he would marry her. However, Wan 'er's father had long since fallen in love with Wan' er's mother. Naturally, he would not agree to Fu Yu's request.
Fu Yu's courtship had failed, and her love for Fu Yu turned into hatred. Under the guise of marriage, she married the young sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect and became the young madam of the Five Tigers Sect.
After marrying into the Five Tigers Sect, Fu Yu never stopped. Back then, Su Rong and his wife had both died in an accident because of a sect mission. They had died in the line of duty. Everyone knew that it was not an accident, but a conspiracy that Fu Yu had planned long ago.
Originally, Wan 'er's parents had died in the line of duty. They were meritorious people. As their only daughter, she would definitely be treated well by the sect. However, Fu Yu did not even spare the young Su Wan' er. After Su Rong and his wife died, she accused them of a groundless crime and confiscated all of their assets. Then, she demoted Su Wan 'er to an outer-sect disciple.
If the few Grand Supreme Elders of the Five Tigers Sect had not intervened, Su Wan 'er would have been executed on the spot.
It had been almost ten years. No one had expected that Fu Yu would still not let Su Wan 'er off.
"Elder Mei, take Wan 'er away first." Wang He sighed softly. He waved his hand and stood up to leave. This was all he could do. Wan 'er's father had been the young man he had admired the most. However, he had not expected his family to be destroyed because of this vicious woman.
"Wan 'er, come with me."
Mei Yixuan held Wan 'er's hand and turned to walk out of the palace hall. Her expression was somewhat ugly. If Wan 'er had always been an outer-sect disciple, although her days would have been tough, at least she would have been able to live in peace. However, now that she had become an outer-sect disciple, with Fu Yu's viciousness, she would certainly not let her off.
Mei Yixuan had not expected that Wan 'er would actually be able to pick a stalk of spiritual medicine and completely change her position and fate in the sect. If possible, she would have preferred that Wan 'er was only an outer-sect disciple. She would have been lucky to be able to live in obscurity.
Otherwise, she would have helped this girl after so many years. As long as Fu Yu was in the Five Tigers Sect, Wan 'er definitely could not show herself in the Five Tigers Sect. If she helped Wan 'er, she would be harming her instead.
Mei Yixuan and Wan 'er's mother were best friends. Back then, Su Rong and his wife only had Wan' er as their only child. Mei Yixuan could not let anything happen to her.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Mo Wen's injuries were healing faster and faster, but the Martial Arts Circle Convention was approaching. At this rate of recovery, he would definitely not be able to recover his cultivation before the Convention.
In order to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, he had to quickly recover. Ordinary methods would definitely not be able to do it, so he could only use some special methods.
However, now was not the time. He had to wait until his injuries were a little better.
Wan 'er disappeared for a few days. This morning, she came to Mo Wen's wooden hut again.
"Big Brother Mo, do you know about the Huatian Palace?" Wan 'er asked the moment she entered.
"Yes. Why?" Mo Wen asked curiously. Why did Wan 'er mention the Huatian Palace?
"Big Brother Mo, I am now an inner-sect disciple of the Five Tigers Sect. I also have a master. Master is preparing to bring me to the Huatian Palace to broaden my horizons," Wan 'er said excitedly.
The Huatian Palace had always been a legend to her. She had never come into contact with it. She had never imagined that she would be able to go to the Huatian Palace.
Mo Wen blinked, not understanding. Broaden her horizons at the Huatian Palace?
Based on what he knew, the Huatian Palace did not seem to be a place that just anyone could enter. Even for the Huatian Palace's internal members, only those who were at least Three stars Executors could enter. Moreover, if one was not a member of the Huatian Palace, no matter how high one's cultivation was, one would most likely not be qualified to enter the Huatian Palace.
"Yes, yes. Brother Mo, do you want to go? I can beg Master to bring you along. " Wan 'er blinked. Naturally, she would not forget about Mo Wen when there was something good. Her master was so good to her, he would most likely not reject her.
After asking around, Mo Wen found out that this Huatian Palace was not the Huatian Palace he knew. The Huatian Palace that Wan 'er mentioned was just a branch palace hall of the Huatian Palace outside. The Huatian Palace managed the martial arts circle of the world. Naturally, there were Huatian Palace branches everywhere.
In the Taihang Mountains, there was a branch palace hall set up by the Huatian Palace. (To be continued.)
