Right away, Qin Yi packed up simply, changed into a set of clean clothes, and went down the mountain in quick steps.
At the foot of the mountain, he saw Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng Tianhe.
His face had some tiredness. One could tell that he had been standing here the entire day and night without the slightest sign of moving.
After seeing Qin Yi, a hint of relaxation flashed across Cheng Tianhe's face. Following that, he said nonchalantly, "Master is looking for you. Follow me."
Finished talking, he turned around and left first.
Qin Yi did not say anything else either. He strode out and followed.
After a moment, the two people arrived at that great hall from last time again.
Seemingly hearing the commotion outside, the great hall's door slowly opened. A cold voice floated out, "Tianhe, it's been hard on you. Go back and rest."
"Yes! Master! "
Cheng Tianhe bowed respectfully, turned around, and left.
"Come in."
After hearing the voice, Qin Yi did not stand on ceremony either, walking in with large strides.
Seeing the old man again, Qin Yi said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Senior, this junior has already broken through to the Dao Tribulation Realm. Is this considered passing your test?"
The old man answered, "To be able to cultivate from rank four Dao Palace Realm to rank two Dao Tribulation Realm in less than three months, this talent can be considered top-notch even in the Brushing Willow Sect. Compared to the other guy, your talent is much higher. "
Qin Yi's expression changed, and he asked, "Could it be that Duan Xinghe did not pass the test?"
Honestly speaking, he still rather admired Duan Xinghe. Back at the Five Forest City Competition, although he won Duan Xinghe in the end, the other party's difficulty was absolutely not low.
In his eyes, Duan Xinghe was absolutely considered an expert with pretty good talent.
If even he did not pass the test, then the Brushing Willow Sect's disciple recruitment requirements were a little too harsh.
Or rather, the old man's disciple recruitment requirements were a little too harsh. During this period of time, he also battled with quite a number of Brushing Willow Sect disciples.
Although there were quite a number of people with decent talent among them, many people still had a certain gap compared to Duan Xinghe.
Even they could enter the Brushing Willow Sect. If Duan Xinghe couldn't, then it could only mean that this old man's requirements were very high!
Fortunately, after hearing Qin Yi's question, the other party shook his head and said, "It's not that he didn't pass the test. In less than three months, he also broke through to the second stage of the Dao Tribulation Realm. Compared to the others, his talent could be considered high. Originally, this old man thought that he wasn't bad. But after meeting you, this old man feels that compared to you, he is completely a defective product! "
Qin Yi frowned and said, "Isn't Senior's words a little too unreasonable? Don't you think that your words are equivalent to denying Duan Xinghe's efforts? "
Surprisingly, the old man didn't get angry. Instead, he said in a calm tone, "This is my territory. I can evaluate a person however I want. Furthermore, he cultivated to the second level of the Dao Tribulation Realm with the help of my Brushing Willow Sect's Spirit Gathering Array. You, on the other hand, are different. Outside of the Brushing Willow Sect, you were able to obtain such gains by relying on resources. Compared to you, there's simply a world's difference. Therefore, choosing one from the two, I'll choose you. "
Qin Yi frowned and said, "If Senior is harboring this kind of attitude and is prepared to cut off a genius's future, then Qin Mo can only give up the chance to enter the Brushing Willow Sect this time."
"Boy, do you know what you're saying?"
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall became stifling once more. The old man's voice also became somewhat icy cold, "Do you know how much hardship Cheng Tianhe suffered in order to enter this old man's tutelage back then? Now that the opportunity is placed in front of you, how can it be given up just because you say so? "
Qin Yi chuckled and said calmly, "Junior always felt that after going through the proof this time, Senior would change your way of looking at people and your attitude. Looking at it now, you still do things your own way, unable to distinguish good from bad. Such a person without magnanimity, no matter how remarkable your abilities, Qin Mo isn't willing to have too much contact with you either! Sorry, please forgive Qin Mo for taking my leave! "
"Good!"
Just as Qin Yi turned around, an exclamation of praise suddenly came from behind him, "What a fine 'unable to distinguish good from bad,' what a fine 'do things your own way'! Qin Yi, this old man indeed didn't judge wrongly. You can indeed be considered a genius who can be called a leader. Congratulations, you've passed the test! "
Qin Yi stopped his footsteps and looked at the other party with a frown, "You're saying that everything just now was a test?"
The old man nodded slightly and said, "In reality, long before you came here, Duan Xinghe was already this old man's disciple. That conversation just now was entirely to test whether you have the magnanimity to tolerate others! This old man has already understood a little about the Five Forest City competition from Tianhe and the others. If my guess is correct, you should quite admire Duan Xinghe, right? If you chose to give up on Duan Xinghe in that conversation just now, that proves that you don't have much sincerity towards Duan Xinghe. And you, are nothing more than a hypocrite hypocrite. "
There was not much joy on Qin Yi's face when he heard these words. Even though this was only a test, to him, it was merely a method that the old man used to toy with him.
The old man seemed to have seen through Qin Yi's thoughts. He immediately said, "I know that you must be dissatisfied right now. You think that this old man is deceiving you and toying with you. However, if it wasn't for the fact that this old man values you enough, I could completely ignore these things. Qin Yi, from now on, you will be this old man's first disciple. All of this old man's disciples, including Cheng Tianhe and Duan Xinghe, will listen to your orders. "
Qin Yi shook his head indifferently and said, "I'm sorry, Qin Mo doesn't like to give orders and command others."
The old man frowned, appearing to be somewhat surprised. After a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that you're also a fellow who finds trouble. To tell you the truth, this old man has been looking for a suitable successor. Originally, Lin Juezong was this old man's first choice, but he rejected this old man's invitation. Fortunately, I've lost Lin Juezong, but gained a genius like you. Whether it's in terms of talent or temperament, you're the most suitable candidate. Furthermore, I already know that you came to the Brushing Willow Sect with an ulterior motive. Trust me, this identity will be of great help to your future activities. "
Hearing this, Qin Yi's first reaction was not surprise, but rather shock.
