Chapter 820 Sword Sect Elders
Zhong Cunhai released a heavy sigh and told Dan Qing. "Yueling has indeed recovered now, but I can't see her, as Grandpa Huang and the others forbade me to see her. Moreover, I heard that they already handed her over to another man, and she lives with him now."
"Oh?" Dan Qing turned to him in surprise. "Who is that man? Are you going to give up on getting Yueling back?"
"What can I do?" Zhong Cunhai asked back with a bitter smile. "Even though I don't want to give up on getting Yueling, I feel that I no longer have a chance to be with her, and it is my own fault, especially since I broke off our engagement after she fell ill. That man's name is Mo Chen, and he is Grandpa Huang's sole disciple."
"Mo Chen?" Dan Qing frowned after she heard that. "Did he come from that heretic Mo clan?"
"No." Zhong Cunhai denied that. "Grandpa Huang hates those heretics so much, so he wouldn't possibly accept Mo Chen as his disciple, let alone hand over Yueling to him, so I thought that that name was just his pseudonym. Actually, I've asked my mother to investigate him, but she couldn't find any information about him; even the people in Tian City don't know anything about him, so I don't know where to look for them."
"I see." Dan Qing then hugged Zhong Cunhai's hand. "Brother, what if I help you forget her?"
"What do you mean by that?" Zhong Cunhai asked as he tried to pull his hand out of Dan Qing's embrace, but she hugged it tighter instead. "Let go of my hand, or Senior Brother Ouyang will be angry with me if he sees us like this."
"Do you still not understand?" Dan Qing asked with a sad look.
"I-" Instantly, Zhong Cunhai's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't expect that Dan Qing would be so bold.
However, Dan Qing only kissed him for a moment before hugging Zhong Cunhai. "Brother, I have never liked Senior Brother Ouyang, and I only like you, but you never understand my feelings."
"I-" Zhong Cunhai felt at a loss to give Dan Qing an answer to his confession, as he had never liked other women except Tian Yueling.nOVElbIn
Dan Qing naturally realized this and released Zhong Cunhai from his arms before walking away. "Let's meet our master now."
"Qing-"
"You don't need to say anything." Dan Qing interrupted Zhong Cunhai as she continued walking. "I know you only like her, but I will never give up on my feelings, and I will make you willing to accept me in the future."
Zhong Cunhai let out a heavy sigh after hearing that, and he followed his sect sister, but her words just now kept ringing in his mind.

Before long, they arrived at a training room, and there was a middle-aged man with a long beard practicing with two swords. "Why have you come here, Qing and Cunhai?"
"That's great." Dan Qing exclaimed happily and pushed her master gently. "Master, hurry up! You have to go there now, or they will be scrambling to recruit them."
"Why are you so impatient, Qing?" The man asked, shaking his head.
"Haha." Dan Qing laughed at that. "Master, you already have three male disciples, and I am your only female disciple, so I want you to recruit them to accompany me."
"All right."

"Dongfang Jiansheng!" Several elders in charge of testing the two women exclaimed loudly, and their expressions turned ugly at his arrival.
Hearing that, Feng Xing and Feng Qiong immediately stopped fighting and turned to them. The two disciples who were their opponents also looked at the elders, but they smiled bitterly as soon as they saw Donfang Jiansheng, and they were also aware of the purpose of his coming.
"Haha!" Dongfang Jiansheng laughed because of their expressions. "Why are you reacting like that? Am I not allowed to come here?"
"Tch." An old man gritted his teeth and shouted at him. "Hey, Jiansheng! You already have four direct disciples, so you should leave these two girls to us."
"Ruan Pangwu! If you can beat me now, I will leave these two girls to you." Dongfang Jiansheng said as a sword qi appeared behind him. "Otherwise, their talents will be wasted if they become your disciples, as your sword technique is inferior to mine."
Ruan Pangwu frowned after hearing his ridicule, but another old man immediately stopped them. "All right, you guys don't need to make a fuss like this, and we can leave the decision to the two girls."
"Hey, Wang Chen! Are you going to continue letting him act like this?" Ruan Pangwu asked as he pointed at Dongfang Jiansheng. "He always snatches talented prospective disciples who want to join our sect, and I will not continue to remain silent about his behavior."
"What can you do? Can you beat him?" Wang Chen asked back with a frown. "We all know that Jiansheng is the best swordsman among us, and he can teach them better than us. Moreover, we are all in the same sect, so we don't need to think about our personal interests, and we should think about what's best for our sect."
"No! I won't hand them over to him." Ruan Pangwu said as he moved in front of the two women, and he asked them. "Are you two willing to become my direct disciples?"
"Hey, Pangwu! You better not scare them like that." Wang Chen shouted as he walked beside them, and he then turned to Dongfang Jiansheng. "How about we show them our sword techniques? That way, we brothers don't need to fight, and they can choose for themselves which of us will be their master."
However, an old woman suddenly appeared in their midst, causing them to frown. "In that case, I will join you guys; I am also interested in recruiting them as my direct disciples."
