"Is that the reject from the Celestial Craft Cave? I heard Master Bi Sheng didn't think much of him back then, so how did he get taken as the Sect Leader's disciple the moment he arrived at the Taoist Sect?"
"You haven't heard? Master Bi Sheng got a real earful from the Sect Leader."
"Shh! Didn't you see the Profound Celestial Order hanging from his waist? It's a Passage Talisman personally granted by the Sect Leader!"
One disciple said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Master Bi Sheng is really in for it! If he had just accepted him as a disciple back then, the Sect Leader wouldn't have had to pay such a high price to keep him."
"Quiet down. Master Bi Sheng is notoriously petty. If word of this gets back to him, you'll be the one in for a world of hurt."
Xu Yunfan's ears twitched, taking in all their chatter. Hearing that Bi Sheng had been thoroughly scolded by the Sect Leader, he couldn't help but let the corner of his mouth curl up.
'Serves you right, you blind old fool.'
