A Different Script
Elder Cabinet.
Nine old men sat in the spacious front hall. They were the nine elders of Yonghe Temple.
They were in charge of the inner sect, outer sect, and discipline.
Among them, there was an old man with a square face and unibrow who was sitting in the center. He was wearing a purple robe and was frowning. He had just heard the news of the Green Scaled Snake's rampage and was very shocked.
"Ever since the Green Scale Snake rampage a hundred years ago, there has never been a rampage. Why would it suddenly rampage at this time?"
"Old Black and I went to take a look," snorted the black-robed old man. "The Green Scale Snake seems to have been frightened. That's why it suddenly rampage."
"Frightened?"
The purple-robed old man hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyebrows.
"The Green Scale Snake is in the depths of the cave, but the four-leaf clover is in the middle of the cave. Moreover, there's a group of Iron Scale Snake before it. How could these kids scare it? "
"Rather than saying it was frightened, it should be saying that it felt that it encountered a powerful enemy, so it woke up from its slumber. That's why it chose to fight. "
Said the white-robed old man suddenly. The black-robed old man glared at him.
"Heh, Old White, I think you're trying to make life difficult for me today. You didn't give me any face in front of the outer sect disciples, and now you're arguing with me in front of your senior brother. "
"What do you mean?" Asked the white-robed old man. The black-robed old man frowned. "Based on what you just said, the Green Scale encountered a powerful opponent? Are you talking about those outer sect disciples? They're barely spiritual bodies. What threat can they pose to the Green Scale? "
"Are you sure they're spiritual bodies?" smiled the white-robed old man.
"Then are you trying to tell me that there's a Sky Immortal expert among the outer sect disciples? Isn't it a joke for a Sky Immortal expert to be an outer sect disciple of Yonghe Temple? "curled the black-robed old man.
"Alright, let's stop talking!"
The purple-robed old man frowned. "We haven't even clarified the problem and you're already arguing. You're already a hundred years old, it's embarrassing to argue with kids! "
The black-robed and white-robed elders remained silent at the same time. Only then did the purple-robed elder frown.
"I'll investigate when the outer sect disciples arrive."
"In front of us is the Elder's Cabinet. When the time comes, there's no need to be nervous. Just answer their questions truthfully."
Hu Qing led the group of disciples to the front of the Elder's Pavilion. The disciples all nodded their heads, but there was still some nervousness in their eyes.
"Master, Uncle-Masters, disciple has brought them here."
"Hu Qing, you've worked hard." The purple-robed old man nodded indifferently. Hu Qing gave the group of disciples a look of encouragement before walking behind the black-robed old man.
Unexpectedly, Hu Qing was actually the black-robed old man's disciple. The difference in their personalities was too great.
"You are the new batch of outer sect disciples."
The people around him all nodded carefully. Even Cui Fugui, who had always been the most noisy, quieted down.
"I didn't expect there to be so few outer disciples. Looks like there should be even fewer inner disciples."
"Martial Uncle, the number of inner sect disciples is actually several times that of outer sect disciples," Hu Qing said from the side. The purple-robed old man was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "That's rare."
"It's all because Senior Apprentice Brother spread the word that the inner sect disciples will be given the position of Legacy Disciple. Senior Brother, our inner court elders really have enough true disciples. Aren't you just adding more pressure to us!? "
The first person to the right of the purple-robed old man could not help but shake his head and sigh.
"Hmph, you're still trying to act innocent after getting a bargain. If you think the inner sect is too tiring, then you can come to the outer sect. I'll stay in the inner sect. I've had enough of this godforsaken place. "
The black-robed old man rolled his eyes, but the burly man wasn't angry. He just pursed his lips and smiled.
"Sure, if you defeat me during the inner and outer sect transition, I don't mind giving you the position of inner sect elder."
"Why am I …" The black-robed elder slapped his thigh and cursed angrily. The purple-robed elder frowned slightly. "Why are you quarreling again? If you keep quarreling, we'll all go to the back mountain and face the wall!"
"Tsk."
The black-robed elder twitched his mouth and snorted. The purple-robed elder pretended not to hear anything and turned to Ye Zichen's table.
"This trial was our Elder Cabinet's negligence. I must apologize to you guys here."
"No need, why are you being so courteous? It's fine as long as you can keep us in the outer sect."
Nobody said anything. Only Ye Zichen waved his hand like an idiot and giggled.
Hu Qing twitched his mouth and muttered in his heart. From what I remember, Ye Zichen isn't someone with this sort of personality.
What he didn't know was that Ye Zichen was doing it on purpose.
Since I've already gotten to this point, I have to get the elders' attention, right? As long as one of them can detect my Sky Immortal strength, then the problem will be solved.
"The spots for outer sect disciples are limited, so it will depend on your immortal fate," the purple-robed elder smiled. "Luo Ying!"
"Yes, disciple!"
In the corner of the front hall, a woman with an excellent figure and a veil over her face walked out.
"Go and see."
"Understood!"
The female disciple slowly walked towards Ye Zichen's group. The disciples below couldn't help but gulp.
The only ones whose expressions didn't change were Ye Zichen and Cui Fugui.
"Not bad." The purple-robed elder nodded with a smile. Before Ye Zichen and co. arrived, he had specifically told the female elder to use a bit of charm techniques in order to test the disciples' willpower.
The path of cultivation was full of thorns. Talent was important, but willpower was equally important.
It was clear that he was very satisfied with Ye Zichen and Cui Fugui's test.
"Dual spiritual roots of fire and earth. What a pity. If it was fire or wood, then he might be able to learn pill refinement."
"Dual spiritual roots of water and metal. They are actually spiritual roots that counter each other. It will be very difficult for him to achieve anything great in the future."
"Metal spiritual root, not bad."
The female disciple continuously walked past Ye Zichen and co. and pinched their arms as she passed by them, while telling them the attributes of their spiritual roots.
When everyone else was done, the girl arrived in front of Ye Zichen and Cui Fugui.
The purple-robed elder's gaze also landed on them. If the two disciples had high-grade spiritual roots, then even if they were a bit older, he would still want them to enter the inner sect.
However, to everyone's surprise, the girl actually stopped and didn't pinch anyone else's arms like before.
"It seems like sire is a person with bad interests as well," the girl smiled softly.
The woman smiled gently. Everyone in the front hall, including the elders, were stunned. No one understood why this woman would say such a thing.
Ye Zichen, on the other hand, felt a surge of joy in his heart. Does this girl know my strength?
Is my identity as a Sky Immortal expert going to be made public?
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, he saw the girl put her hand on Cui Fugui's shoulder with a smile.
"Ice attribute, Mutated Heaven Spiritual Root, and strength above the Sky Immortal level. Sire, coming to Yonghe as an outer sect disciple is a bit of a waste, right? "
"What!?"
Ye Zichen was shocked. The girl actually wasn't talking about him …
Cui Fugui!
F * ck, this is ridiculous!
