It was deathly silent; after barely ten seconds, an uproar broke out across the square.
"What? This Lin Fei is the newly conferred Core Disciple today?"
"How could it not be Senior Brother Wei!"
"How is that possible?"
"And is he someone from the Yang family Immortal Sect?"
"Why is he qualified to be conferred as the new Core Disciple, but Senior Brother Wei isn't?"
For a moment, cries of shock and doubt rose from all sides.
Of course, that wasn't the most important thing; what mattered most was Wei Yihu, standing in the very front row of the Inner Sect disciples. His face burned as if on fire, his shame flushing all the way to his ears. He truly wished a crack would open in the ground so he could crawl in.
He never would have thought that the newly conferred Core Disciple today would actually not be him!
