The Guo Family's noble family head, as well as the servants who had no status, all stood respectfully to the side, leaving behind a clean path from the inside to the outside. Such a large lineup was only there to welcome the young master of the Sky Sea Sect, Guo Haojie.
The Heavenly Sea Sect was one of the four greatest powers in the Grand Xia Dynasty. As a branch of the Heavenly Sea Sect, Guo Ru was exceptionally happy to have connections with them. Every time he sent his juniors into the sect, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Before the people from the Guo Heavenly Sea Sect arrived, Guo Ru turned his head and said to his daughter, Guo Yingying, in a low voice, "Yingying, the chance to enter the Heavenly Sea Sect is very rare. You have to make the best use of it."
Guo Yingying was a little nervous facing such a powerful figure, but she still nodded and said, "Don't worry, father. I'll definitely enter the Heavenly Sea Sect."
Now that her older sister Guo Tong had become Chen Yuan's wife, it was almost impossible for her to return to the Heavenly Sea Sect. And now that she was the Guo Family's most talented disciple, Guo Ru had basically placed all his hopes on his younger daughter.
"Heavenly Sea Sect's Second Young Master Guo is here!" A shout came from outside the door. Everyone in the Guo Mansion lowered their heads and looked at the scene. The sense of respect in their eyes was clear.
The first to enter the Guo Mansion was a young man dressed in jade, wearing a brocade robe. He was quite handsome, but his pale face lacked a few traces of vitality. He looked a little too indulgent.
He held a paper fan in his hand, which he placed on his chest while gently swaying it. His eyes, however, were constantly scanning the Guo Mansion from left to right.
I've long heard that Young Master Guo is so young, with a heroic appearance and a feathered fan scarf. But now, it seems that the rumors were true, "Guo Ru stepped forward, clasping his fists and saluting," As expected of Sect Master Guo's son, he's simply a dragon amongst men.
He wondered how this Guo Family's second young master's temper was, and he flattered him as soon as he went up.
However, in the face of Guo Ru's flattery, Guo Haojie didn't seem to care about this matter at all. He looked a little dispirited, glanced at Guo Ju and said: "This was all my father's idea, Clan Head Guo doesn't need to be so polite."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to an elder behind him, "I'll leave the disciple selection to you. Everything will be done according to the rules."
"Yes, Young Lord." The expression on the old man's face was extremely solemn.
"May I know how to address you, my lord?" Guo Ru saw that Guo Haojie had arranged for a disciple selection team, and immediately asked the elder respectfully.
"I'm Guo Feng." The old man slowly said. His tone was full of indifference.
"So it's Elder Guo!" On the surface, Guo Ru was still smiling obsequiously, but in reality, his heart was already in turmoil.
Guo Ru, who was already at the third level of the True Spirit Realm, could already be considered a top expert in this Yellowflame County. However, he didn't expect that he would be unable to see through the cultivation level of this old man, and even faintly feel the suppression of his spiritual energy.
This person was very strong! This was the answer Guo Ru quickly came up with.
That made sense. The head of the Skysea Sect had sent his son out on a mission. He couldn't possibly have come alone, right? It was normal for him to have an expert by his side.
"Senior Guo, these are the ten juniors chosen by our branch family. They are all the most talented members of the younger generation. I wonder how many senior will be selecting this time around?" Guo Ru asked.
"One is enough." Guo Feng replied coldly.
"One?" Guo Ru froze for a moment before asking in puzzlement, "Weren't there two more last time? Why did we only pick one this time?"
"Hmph, the grand master is giving you branch disciples a chance, it's already good enough for you to enter the Heavenly Sea Sect, do you have any objections?"
Guo Feng said harshly, "The side branch is the side branch. Even the most talented juniors would not end up as mediocre individuals in the Heavenly Sea Sect. With just their strength alone, they can only be considered geniuses in such a remote and remote place. I think that when we go back, we should just get the sect master to cancel the selection of your branch. "
"Don't, don't, don't. Senior Guo, it's all my fault. I don't know my own limits. Every single one of them has a chance to enter the Heavenly Sea Sect. Every single one of them is excellent." Guo Ru bowed, he was as polite as he could be.
"Hmph." Guo Feng snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Guo Ru. Instead, he turned around and faced the ten Guo Family juniors standing in formation.
He walked past everyone. After he finished, he pondered for a moment, then pointed at one of the younger ones and said, "It's him."
When the youth heard that he had been chosen, he became extremely excited.
Seeing that the person selected wasn't his daughter Guo Yingying, Guo Ru didn't know what to do.
"Senior Guo, he's not bad. But why don't you take a look at him? Her cultivation is the highest among the juniors." Even if Guo Ru were to lose face, he still had to fight for this slot for his daughter.
Although they were all descendants of the Guo Family, his own daughter couldn't be compared to anyone else.
"She doesn't have enough potential, so she won't have much of a future if she goes." Guo Feng's words directly shattered Guo Yingying's hope.
Guo Yingying's heart was unwilling, she was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying. Her teary appearance just happened to be seen by Guo Haojie at the side.
"What's your name?" Guo Haojie walked up, looking at Guo Yingying with great interest.
Guo Yingying did not expect this young master to take the initiative and ask her a question. The moment she tensed up, she began to stutter.
"Young master, I... My name is Guo Yingying. " She stole a glance at Guo Haojie, then shyly lowered her head.
Guo Yingying would never have thought that her unintentional actions would give Guo Haojie so much interest.
"Guo Yingying, hmm, that's a good name," Guo Haojie nodded, and then asked her, "You want to enter the Heavenly Sea Sect?"
"I do," Guo Yingying said pitifully, "But the senior has already chosen …"
"I have the final say here." Guo Haojie directly interrupted Guo Yingying's words, his words were very tyrannical, without the slightest hesitation towards Guo Feng's feelings. However, Guo Feng's expression remained the same, as if he had long since become accustomed to this kind of thing.
Guo Ru was an experienced person, hearing Guo Haojie's words, how could he not understand the meaning behind them?
He immediately said to his daughter, Guo Yingying, "Yingying, you'll take care of Young Master Guo's daily life in Yanhuang County. Remember, you must satisfy Young Master Guo."
