Xuan Cheng tilted his head, and looked at Ling Changfeng with a weird expression, "Could it be that the three of them were not called over by Junior Brother?"
"Shouldn't we give the three of them a chance? No matter what senior thinks, I have already made up my mind that I will take them as my disciples. "
Ling Changfeng spoke straightforwardly, making both Qian Zhongli and Li Chunyang speechless.
He thought to himself, This isn't something that you can take as long as you want.
Yuxu Sect had her sect's rules, and sect's rules could not be crippled.
If you were allowed to do whatever you wanted, how could you face the thirty-six disciples who were eliminated? To them, this was too unfair.
"Opportunity? What is an opportunity? "
Xuan Cheng cast a glance at Shang Zifeng, and said meaningfully, "Don't think that I don't know how that brat passed through the Talent Test. At the time, we didn't say it out loud for your sake, but that didn't mean we didn't mind. Originally, they had given up midway. For this matter, it could be considered a satisfactory ending. We can just go with the flow and go with the flow, we can just let them go down the slope, but not only are you not thinking about it anymore, you have to go even further, and you have to force them to join your sect. Have you ever thought about where you should place the rules of the Yuxu Sect, where you should place the Great Clan Elder, and how you should make those clan disciples who are wholeheartedly wanting to enter the Yuxu Sect view you? Aren't you afraid of someone poking you in the back? "
"Senior!"
Ling Changfeng laughed till it was thick and long, then called Xuan Cheng, "You said you're already a few hundred years old, why are you so excited? I didn't say I would break the sect's rules, did I? "
Xuan Cheng was so angry that his eyes were popping out of his mouth. He dragged Qian Zhongli and Li Chunyang and despised Ling Changfeng, "Look at him, look at him! He admitted that he was wrong, admitted that he wasn't! This old fellow really wants to accept all three of them! "
For some reason, Xuan Cheng really couldn't stand Ling Changfeng's expression of having everything under his control. As long as he saw smile, he would be extremely angry, to the point of almost roaring.
Ling Changfeng did not mind. The more angry Xuan Cheng was, the more pleased he was with himself.
He ignored Xuan Cheng's attitude and activated a smile, waving at Shang Zifeng and the other two, asking them to come over. He then smiled as before, and spoke to Xuan Cheng seriously: "Senior brother, let me ask you, what is the purpose of Yuxu Sect's establishment?"
"What else could it be? It is naturally to kill demons and eliminate devils, so as to protect all the people in the world!"
"Then Senior Brother, please tell us, what is the purpose of protecting the lives of all the people in the world?"
Ling Changfeng continued to speak.
Xuan Cheng stared blankly at Ling Changfeng, as if he had guessed what Ling Changfeng was about to say.
Indeed.
Seeing that Xuan Cheng did not say anything, he immediately continued, "If not for Dongfang Li taking care of the plague in the Jingjia Village, if not for your daughter and Shang Zifeng working together for half a month without rest, the plague would have already spread to the villages in a radius of tens of miles, and it might have spread for a hundred miles. When that time comes, the plague will spread, and corpses would cover the land. The people of the northern region would cry and howl as they lost their loved ones, and they would be filled with grief and despair. Even if we found out about this, we would be powerless to stop them. After all, we are not proficient in treating or saving people. We might even not know anything about it. However, Dongfang Li could, for their actions, follow the original intentions of the Yuxu Sect, and put protecting all the lives of the people in the world as their priority. No matter what, it was not worth mentioning in the face of human life! If Dongfang Li had participated in the exam on his own, and abandoned the hundreds of villagers in Jingjia Village, I would actually like to ask Senior Brother, will you accept such a disciple? "
When Ling Changfeng said this, not only was Xuan Cheng speechless, even the disciples who were there back then felt their faces burning.
At that time, they had left resolutely because they were afraid of delaying the exam. They did not care about the citizens of Jingjia Village, and no matter what had thought of at that time, when he said it out loud, they all lowered their heads in shame.
Xuan Cheng was startled by his words, but quickly recovered. He quibbled: "Even if you're right, then the biggest credit belongs to Dongfang Li. Furthermore, his talent is not bad. If you accept him, it can be considered as adding a disciple who is well versed in medical techniques to Yuxu Sect. This is a good thing for Yuxu Sect, I have no objections. But Shang Zifeng and this person called Shang Ziyu, they only stayed back to help, it wasn't much use. Don't think that I don't know, there are at least a hundred people in Jingjia Village who weren't infected by the plague. There aren't that many people in the Jingjia Village, and there aren't that many people there.
After saying that, Xuan Cheng suddenly paused, as though he had guessed something, he pointed at Ling Changfeng and said: "Ling Changfeng, you couldn't have planned this play yourself, right?!"
Ling Changfeng was startled, "What did I plan?"
Xuan Cheng clasped his hands behind his back and coldly scolded: "What are you trying to arrange? To think that you are still playing dumb! I don't know about Shang Ziyu, but Shang Zifeng is extremely poor anyway. I reckon you were afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass the second two stages and today's martial arts competition, so you thought of a way to let him avoid these trials. Coincidentally, I coincidentally met with the plague in Jingjia Village, so you secretly gave Shang Zifeng directions to avoid the exam this way. When the assessment is over, then you can appear, forcing us to make an exception and let him enter the Yuxu Sect, to acknowledge you as a disciple, taking into consideration that he is helping the villagers of Jingjia Village. Ling Changfeng, don't you think I'm right? "
"Xuan Cheng — What nonsense are you spouting! How could I do that! "
Ling Changfeng was getting a little angry from Xuan Cheng's nonsense. He pointed at Xuan Cheng, and his intestines were about to crook.
Hence, he no longer addressed himself as senior, and directly called out Xuan Cheng's name, so much that he even claimed that he had become I.
Shang Zifeng and Shang Ziyu listened from the side and could not help but feel angry.
What was the meaning of this old fellow? What kind of person did he take them to be? How could they do such a shameless thing?!
Just as he was about to go up and argue, he was stopped by Yao Shuang, who shook her head to indicate for him to calm down.
However, the people below the stage, especially the thirty-six people who were eliminated, did not care about the truth. They only felt that what Xuan Cheng said was reasonable, and when they thought about how the Elder Xuan Ju had always sided with Shang Zifeng, they could not help but become even more furious.
It was unknown who shouted, "Elder Xuan Ju is unfair! Yuxu Sect is unfair! "
Then the crowd began to stir, shouting the same words again and again.
Voices rose and fell one after another before finally filling the entire city.
Although Qian Zhongli and Li Chunyang would fight openly and secretly, but when there was something that threatened Yuxu Sect's reputation, they would stand on the same front as each other and talk to the outside world in unison.
When they saw the crowd shouting and insulting their sect, their faces turned cold. Waving their sleeves, two sets of cyan profound energy rushed towards training ground, causing their cheering to come to a halt.
Qian Zhongli's low voice sounded out, "The Yuxu Sect's thousand years of reputation is not something you can casually trample over!"
After pausing for a while, he looked at Ling Changfeng, "Even though today's matter is understandable, rules are rules, and no one can change it."
"Rules are also set by people. Since Uncle Qian had also said that this matter was understandable, why couldn't he change it? The Yuxu Sect established a sect and accepted all the talented people in the world. And 'talent' was talent, but also virtue! So in Shan Er's opinion, only the most virtuous are worthy enough to join our Yuxu Sect! "
Halfway through his words, a red figure suddenly descended from the sky. Under its graceful appearance, a fragrant smell assaulted their nostrils.
Xuan Cheng didn't need to guess to know that in the Yuxu Peak's Gate, only his daughter would apply rouge and cosmetic powder. Although it wasn't thick, he, who was surrounded by men, could still easily smell it.
