"Oh?"
Lin Xuan was not angry. He looked at the girl playfully. "What's your name?"
The girl's eyes were calm. She cupped her hands and said, "Sect Master, I'm Li Qiushui from the Spiritual Mound branch!"
"Then tell me why you don't want to leave your name in the golden book?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Qiushui, shut up!"
Just as the girl was about to speak, an elder beside her looked anxious and could not help but scold the girl.
The elder stepped forward and said respectfully to Lin Xuan with a smile, "Sect Master, my granddaughter is young and immature. Please don't blame her."
Lin Xuan smiled playfully and said, "You're Li Futao from the Spiritual Mound branch, right?"
"That's me!" Li Futao was shocked.
"Don't worry, Commander Li. I'm not a cruel person. If Li Qiushui has a valid reason, I can make an exception," Lin Xuan said.
Li Qiushui's face lit up. She quickly came out from behind her grandfather and said, "Sect Master, I'm practicing the Way of the Sword. My swordsmanship teacher once said that if a swordsman wants to reach the peak, he must maintain a pure and flawless swordsman's heart. I'm worried that leaving my name in the golden book will cause my heart to be tainted, so …"
"Oh?"
Lin Xuan's eyes flickered. He was deep in thought.
Actually, he was very clear about this. Leaving one's name in the golden book meant that there would be restrictions and scruples. It would affect a martial artist's martial heart a little. Especially for a swordsman who pursued the pinnacle of the Way of the Sword, even an insignificant influence could not be ignored.
Li Qiushui had a one-in-a-million martial fate. As long as she did not die prematurely, her future would be limitless. Lin Xuan was willing to open a back door for her.
However, after hearing Li Qiushui's words, many young martial artists in the hall became restless. If they did not handle it well, it might cause a lot of trouble.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Li Qiushui, I can understand your thoughts. However, the five-thousand-year rule of the Magic Lotus Sect cannot be broken!"
"Ah?"
Li Qiushui's small face couldn't help but change, becoming pale and bloodless. Her hands were tightly clenched, her veins popping out.
Lin Xuan smiled and continued, "However, I have a position in the Magic Lotus Sect that doesn't require me to leave my name on the golden book."
Li Qiu Shui was stunned. Suddenly, her eyes brightened as she exclaimed, "Saintess?"
"Not bad!" Lin Xuan smiled.
"This … Dao Master, are you saying that you want me to be the Saintess?" Li Qiushui said in disbelief.
Not only Li Qiushui, everyone in the hall couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "The Saint and Saintess of the Magic Lotus Sect are only below me. They are above millions of people. How important is this position? How can we treat it so lightly?
Of course, I can give you a chance!
Not only Li Qiushui, but all of you who are under the age of 30, as long as you can get into the top 100 of the Noble List within three months, I will take you as my disciple and give you the position of Saint or Saintess!
"Also, in three years' time on the Noble King List, the top 10 people in the Magic Lotus Sect will be given the position of Head Teacher!"
Wow —
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, there was an uproar. Everyone's eyes were burning with passion.
Even Yan Hui, Jing Wushang, Tie Lie, Wu Huan, and the others couldn't help but look hopeful and eager.
"Oh my god! The Dao Master wants to choose the Saint and Head Teacher based on the Noble King List. This is unprecedented! "
"But this is indeed a fair method. The Dao Master is wise!"
"Hahaha! Great, this is great! I'm a little old, so I don't need to think about the position of Saint anymore. But I can still fight for the position of Head Teacher! I didn't come here in vain! "
Lin Xuan took in the expressions of everyone below and his lips curled into a deep smile.
In fact, he had already thought of this method of choosing the Head Teacher.
The position of Head Teacher was very important. Talent, fate, strength, wisdom, and means were all indispensable. This was similar to the rules of the Noble King List.
Using the ranking on the Noble King List as the criterion, the best of the best would be chosen.
However, choosing the Saint and Saintess was just a temporary idea. He wanted to open a back door for Li Qiushui.
After all, he was still young and would definitely be the Dao Master for a long time. There was no need to choose a successor so early.
Now that the opportunity had been given, it was up to Li Qiushui to decide whether she could stand out among the outstanding people.
At this moment, Li Qiushui's face was filled with both joy and worry. She looked at Lin Xuan with a strange gaze.
On one hand, she wanted to become the Saintess so that she could focus on swordsmanship and pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
On the other hand, once she became the Saintess, she would have to be Lin Xuan's disciple. This made her depressed.
The guy sitting above was the same age as her and his cultivation was not as high as hers. Yet, he wanted her to be his disciple. This was too much!
Lin Xuan glanced at Li Qiushui and clearly saw through the little girl's thoughts. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
He didn't know Li Qiushui very well and naturally wouldn't trust her. However, if they were master and disciple, he could at least guarantee that she wouldn't betray him easily.
After all, in this world, there were very few people who would betray their masters and ancestors. The higher one's cultivation was, the fewer such things would happen.
As one's cultivation level increased, one would understand the power of karma. As long as the master wasn't a beast, very few people would betray their master. That was basically suicide.
As for Li Qiushui's cultivation being higher than his, Lin Xuan didn't think it was a big deal.
After that, everyone, including Li Qiushui, left their soul imprints in the golden book one by one. Then, they went to Mu Jianfeng and received a martial art legacy unique to the Magic Lotus Sect.
When all this was over, Lin Xuan began to make some arrangements.
He chose eighty young experts from everyone and added them to the Divine Protector Guards. Li Qiushui was among them.
Then, he chose twenty respected old masters to form the Elder Pavilion. With Mu Jianfeng as the leader, they were responsible for maintaining the daily operations of the Magic Lotus Sect, including the arrangement of personnel, expansion of power, allocation of resources, punishment, and so on.
The operation of a large force was bound to be very complicated internally. Lin Xuan couldn't do these things himself. Now that he had enough manpower and didn't have to worry about loyalty, he could let his subordinates do it. He only needed to control the overall situation.
After finishing the arrangements, Lin Xuan didn't return to the Hundred Swords Sect. Instead, he stayed in a luxurious palace in the Magic Lotus Courtyard.
This palace was called Panyue Palace. It was one of the exclusive palaces of the master of the Occult Mystery Palace.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would be staying here for a long time unless Heavenly Tripod City fell.
The master of the Occult Mystery Palace should be a woman, and a woman who knew how to enjoy life. The palace was decorated magnificently with pink as the main color. Lin Xuan didn't like it, so he directly entered the cultivation room.
