“What are you doing? Stop messing around!”
“Lord Xuan Shi holds a high position and has many duties. How could he possibly have time to take on disciples?”
“Don’t you lot join in the commotion. Come with me quickly to collect your martial arts resources.”
Those whose names He Yan had called were all frightened by his tone and hurriedly followed him out of the Deacon Hall.
Inside the entire Deacon Hall, only Liang Cheng, Lu Yunqing, Yu Yueru, and Ye Qingxuan remained!
He Yan was very shrewd. For Yu Yueru’s sake, he used a little trick.
He left Yu Yueru and Ye Qingxuan’s names for last, so they could go to the warehouse a bit later.
As for the two who had connections, Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing, He Yan automatically ignored them.
Anyway, no matter whose martial arts resources were missing, Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing’s would definitely not be left out.
“Take on disciples?”
Lu Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a faint purple light flickering in his eyes.
This Yu Yueru’s talent was the best among this group.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely break through to the Internal Energy realm within ten years.
He couldn’t protect the Lu family forever. Maybe he could try taking on some disciples who would be loyal to him.
Yu Yueru and Ye Qingxuan were both feeling anxious right now.
They looked at Lu Xuan with hopeful eyes, wishing to hear the answer they wanted from him.
But in the end, both of them still received the answer Lu Xuan gave.
“I have no plans to take on any disciples!”
Hearing this, a look of unwillingness gradually appeared on Ye Qingxuan and Yu Yueru’s faces, along with an expression of dejection and helplessness.
“However, I happen to be free these next few days, so I can guide you two a bit!”
“If you two want to find me, you can directly contact Deputy He Yan. He will bring you to me.”
Lu Xuan’s voice echoed throughout the Deacon Hall, but he himself transformed into specks of starlight and vanished on the spot.
Seeing this, Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing’s eyes widened greatly, as if astonished by Lu Xuan’s divine skill.
Seeing his cousin so immensely powerful, only one thought existed deep in Liang Cheng’s heart: pure, deep admiration.
“Yunqing, cousin, Brother Xuan is looking more and more like a celestial being.”
“Yeah, I think so too.”
While Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing were exclaiming in wonder, the look of disappointment on Yu Yueru and Ye Qingxuan’s faces vanished without a trace.
Even though they weren’t accepted as disciples by Lord Xuan Shi, they could still go find Lord Xuan Shi anytime for guidance during these next few days.
For them, this was an immense stroke of luck.
Overjoyed, Yu Yueru unconsciously wrapped her hands around Ye Qingxuan’s delicate body, gently parted her tender lips, and breathed into Ye Qingxuan’s ear.
“You little rascal, Qingxuan. Usually so quiet, but just now you dared to steal my target right in front of me.”
“I never would have guessed~”
“You!”
Such blatant teasing from Yu Yueru quickly flushed Ye Qingxuan’s fair cheeks bright red.
Ye Qingxuan didn’t dare stay any longer. She quickly broke free from Yu Yueru’s hands, moved her feet, and walked towards the main entrance.
Seeing this, Yu Yueru followed closely behind Ye Qingxuan, occasionally saying things that made her blush.
As Ye Qingxuan and Yu Yueru left, Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing exchanged helpless glances.
Alright then.
It seemed they were just too weak, lacking any presence at all, ignored by everyone.
“Cheng哥 (Cheng Ge), do you think we’ll ever have a chance in our lives to reach the level of our big brother?”
Liang Cheng didn’t even think about it and immediately burst Lu Yunqing’s bubble.
“I suggest you stop having such unrealistic dreams!”
“You’d better focus on whether you can break through to the Blood Refining realm.”
“Even a martial artist at the Blood Refining realm, Brother Xuan could crush him with a single finger.”
After hearing Liang Cheng’s comparison, Lu Yunqing blushed and gave an embarrassed smile.
“Now that you put it that way, Cheng哥, I finally understand just how huge the gap is between me and our big brother.”
“Mm, let’s go. Don’t keep Old An waiting too long!”
During this time, Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing had both been taught by Su An.
“Almost there.”

Back in his courtyard, Lu Xuan sat quietly on his bed, thinking about those people from the Tian Du Xuan Wei.
It seemed the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty was already starting to fall into chaos.
Lu Xuan had vaguely sensed this problem ever since Zhang Yingxue turned into a weird.
He absolutely had to break through to the Divine Mansion True Person realm as soon as possible.
Next, Lu Xuan just had to wait patiently for that batch of Heavenly Earth spiritual energy to be transported from Jing Tai Prefecture.
And reality unfolded exactly as Lu Xuan had anticipated.
On the eastern side of the prefectural city, next to a large, sprawling mansion, there were crisscrossing small alleys.
Four men, dressed in the uniforms of prefectural yamen runners, walked two in front and two in back, hurrying along with great effort.
In the middle of them was a long, rectangular object wrapped in several layers of thick white cloth. Two thick bamboo poles pierced through the cloth, forming carrying poles.
Even though it was wrapped in several layers of thick white cloth, a red liquid could still be seen seeping through inside.
“Hey, Old Zhang, I feel like this poor wretch is getting heavier and heavier.”
At that moment, the runner on the left in the front spoke. His hands trembled slightly as he struggled to lift the bamboo pole in his hands.
But what the man found extremely strange was this:
His voice kept echoing non-stop throughout the entire alley, while the other three runners were as silent as mutes, not saying a word.
After noticing something was wrong, the man immediately turned his head to look at the runner walking beside him.
Seeing his companion’s condition, the man’s pupils instantly dilated, reflecting a horrifying scene.
“The… the head… is gone?”
“Ghost!”
But before the man could panic for long, the long object wrapped in white cloth behind him rapidly stained itself a bizarre blood red.
A twisted, hideous face burst out from within the white cloth, lunged at the man, and began savagely biting him.
………………..
Jing Tai Prefecture, Prefectural City!
A horse-drawn carriage team, riding pitch-black horses, slowly came to a stop in front of the Xuan Wei Mansion.
Already, several dozen figures were standing there upright, with solemn and respectful expressions, directly in front of the Xuan Wei Mansion gates.
Among them, Mo Ronghua, along with two men around sixty years old beside him, stood at the very front.
“Old Mo, have you figured out how you’re going to explain this to the Earth Envoy and those people from the Hei Yu Wei?”
“You’ve given almost the entire stockpile of Heavenly Earth spiritual treasures here to that Lord Lu.”
The two men beside Mo Ronghua were now looking at him with speechless expressions.
Their resentful stares were so intense they gave Mo Ronghua, a grown man, the creeps.
