Chapter 213 Digging and Digging at the Foundation
Pu Chou's sudden disappearance caught everyone off guard.
The Holy Lord of Beiling was extremely annoyed. He had been watching Pu Chou the whole time, how could he let him die right under his nose?
"It's all fate!" the elders of the Northern Ridge Holy Land exclaimed.
"Don't be upset. Let him go since he's gone. The person who just made the move must have the strength of a demon king, which is why none of us noticed."
"If a demon king from the demon realm wants to save someone, there's nothing we can do to stop him."
"Go back, everyone, and continue the competition. Don't delay."
Those predecessors from the Northern Ridge Holy Land quickly flew away and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The others followed suit and left, whispering amongst themselves as they stood on their flying swords.
The Sixth Elder naturally led a group of children and secretly left the place.
Upon returning to the residence of the Southern Spirit Sect, the Supreme Elder was already seated there.
[Lan Yue: As expected of the Supreme Elder, you have such poise!]
Lan Yue secretly flattered him in her heart.
She was unaware that it was precisely her heartfelt words that made everyone around her breathe a sigh of relief.
Although those people also believed in the identity of the Supreme Elder, after all, the Supreme Elder had proven himself, and even his memories were not wrong.
But without Lan Yue's personal admission, they still couldn't quite believe it. After all, even the Holy Lord of Beiling hadn't seen through the fake Holy Son, had he managed to deceive everyone?
Who knows what new tricks or conspiracies those demons might have up their sleeves? It's impossible to guard against them all!
However, once Lan Yue spoke, they were completely relieved.
Only the Supreme Elder himself silently twitched his eye, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
He explained so much, even showing everyone his natal spirit sword. Despite all the details he revealed, the people remained skeptical.
As a result, when this little guy came back, he only said one sentence, and everyone completely believed him?
This is truly outrageous!
However, he was still very gratified that the Southern Spirit Sect had such a junior who possessed a celestial artifact. This little bit of heartache was not worth mentioning.
"Children, you've worked hard. Come here and let me take a look." The Supreme Elder smiled and waved to the group of little ones. After arriving here, he had already heard his disciples talk about these little ones, especially the quirky Lan Yue.
"You are Lan Yue, right? Good child, to have the cultivation of the late Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age, you are truly a force to be reckoned with!" the Supreme Elder praised.
Regardless of whether or not he had the help of a magical artifact, based on the events described by his disciples, he did indeed feel that Lan Yue was a very talented girl, but unfortunately she already had a master.
However, Lan Yue's master is also his junior disciple. From another perspective, he is also Lan Yue's grandmaster!
Then the Supreme Elder turned to Yunxi and said, "You little fellow, you must be Yun Chong's child, right? I was going to take you as my disciple, but all your friends around you are my grand-disciples. Do you still intend to become my disciple?"
The Supreme Elder asked with a smile. Before entering the secret realm, he felt that the other party had amazing talent and had indeed thought of taking her as his disciple. He even gave the little girl a gift.
However, it seems that all of the little girl's peers are his grand-disciples. If Yunxi becomes his disciple, wouldn't things be chaotic?
Yunxi, who was opposite her, was stunned for a moment. She felt that it made sense. If she became the disciple of the Supreme Elder, wouldn't Lanyue have to call her Martial Aunt?
Just imagining her friends all chasing after her and calling her "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior female disciple) makes Yunxi almost unable to comprehend how beautiful that scene would be!
While she hesitated, Lan Yue beside her grew anxious.
"Of course I'll become his apprentice! With such a powerful master, I have to cling to him!" Lan Yue anxiously transmitted her voice to Yun Xi.
In her opinion, seniority and such don't matter; the most important thing is to grab onto the right person's coattails!
The reason why Elder Bai Mei was able to be so assertive in the Southern Spirit Sect before was not only because his family was powerful, but also because he was related to the lineage of the Supreme Elder.
With such a strong thigh, why not take advantage of it!
After hearing this, Yunxi glanced at the Supreme Elder, then hesitated to speak.
"How about you all become my disciples? I have plenty of disciples anyway, and then you can address each other as equals." The Supreme Elder finally revealed his true colors; he wanted to take all these young geniuses under his wing!
Wherever these clever little guys go in the future, and whatever new things they discover, won't they have to think of him?
As for secretly poaching his apprentices' partners, is that even a big deal? Aren't his apprentices' apprentices also his apprentices? They're all the same!
The result remains the same, so what's the difference?
The Supreme Elder's smile was cunning, leaving the other elders around him stunned.
The Supreme Elder poached people right in front of his disciples? Was this still the very dignified Supreme Elder they remembered?
If it weren't for Lan Yue's personal stamp of authentication, they would have almost kicked the old man out of the room.
The kids on the other side looked at each other in disbelief. Could they really do that?
