Chapter 652 - 630: Are You Trying to Recruit This Servant Disciple?


Chapter 652: Chapter 630: Are You Trying to Recruit This Servant Disciple?

Tang Chenyang’s master is actually Dean Sixin.

It’s just that Dean Sixin is often busy with affairs, and many times it’s her younger brother.

That is, Elder Sizhi who is disciplining Tang Chenyang.

Generally speaking, a master is relatively more strict.

But here, it’s Elder Sizhi who is even more stringent.

In the yard, it was already late at night.

After the beginning of summer, some noisy insect chirps can be heard at night.

When in a bad mood, these insect chirps only make one more irritable.

Hearing this from her brother indeed made Dean Sixin pause for a moment.

"Lost to a Servant Disciple, what does that mean?"

"What else could it mean? It’s literal.

Your favored apprentice, our top disciple in Five Immortals City, lost to a Servant Disciple.

Causing me to lose face along with her."

Elder Sizhi spoke with even more reproach on his face.

"How did you lose face together?"

"Why else?

Your beloved apprentice simply isn’t the match of that Servant Disciple.

If I had acted a bit later, your favored apprentice would’ve been seriously injured.

Perhaps now you would see him lying down rather than kneeling here."

At this point, Elder Sizhi seemed dissatisfied and spoke again.

"For so many years, no Direct Disciple in Five Immortals City would lose to a Servant Disciple, right?

Not to mention Direct Disciple, any Inner Sect Disciple?

Besides, tangling with Qianmu Fan, without assessing his own strength.

Qianmu Fan surely saw through that Servant Disciple’s prowess immediately, proving to be very clever."

Elder Sizhi’s criticisms were incessant.

But after all this, Dean Sixin seemed to focus on one thing.

"What method did that Servant Disciple use, so viciously? Did Chenyang get injured somewhere?"

"Rest assured, your treasured disciple is not injured.

The only one hurt is your good brother.

For rescuing him, I’m likely to be punished by the sect."

Upon hearing this, Dean Sixin gave Elder Sizhi a light slap.

Signaling him to be less petty and more generous.

After pondering, she spoke again.

"What exactly is the situation with that Servant Disciple, how could he have the strength to rival Chenyang?

Grotto Heaven Realm 7th Layer, might he be unable to oppose a Servant Disciple?"

Hearing this, Tang Chenyang recounted the relationship between Qianmu Fan and Shen Han.

Additionally, he detailed the process and feelings of his confrontation with Shen Han to his master.

"Master, is there any chance to release the anger bottled inside me...?"

Dean Sixin turned her head to look at Tang Chenyang.

"To defeat you in competition, what do you think of his talent?

Today, he may be a Servant Disciple, but tomorrow, who knows.

Trying to vent your frustration on him won’t be easy."

Dean Sixin spoke softly, appearing eager to help her disciple.

Yet her words implied that Shen Han might be valued by the sect.

With that, Dean Sixin waved her hand, instructing her disciple to rest.

Once Tang Chenyang had walked some distance, she turned back to her brother.

"That Shen Han, based on your perspective, how is his talent?"

Hearing this, Elder Sizhi frowned, seemingly contemplating.

"Honestly, I can’t discern this disciple’s talent or strength.

He seems to have cultivated some kind of Cultivation Technique, constantly hiding his cultivation strength.

Appearing similar to Chenyang’s Realm, but in attack, he is more fierce.

Additionally, there’s another point..."

Hearing this, Dean Sixin became more serious.

"What is it?"

"I feel that this Servant Disciple’s moves are very smart.

Like a seasoned, experienced warrior.

Devoid of youthful recklessness, very peculiar..."

Upon hearing this, Dean Sixin furrowed her brows, pacing back and forth in the yard.

She turned to look in the direction Tang Chenyang left, pursed her lips.

Then her eyes focused, drawing and gathering Heaven and Earth’s Momentum.

Several barriers enveloped the two.

"Little brother, disregarding others’ feelings, do you think this Servant Disciple is worth cultivating?"

Dean Sixin’s words left Elder Sizhi momentarily stunned.

"Are you thinking of recruiting this Servant Disciple, sister?"

"Is there any reason not to?"

Faced with his sister’s question, Elder Sizhi hesitated.

Today’s competition, Shen Han’s exchange with Tang Chenyang.

The result is there for anyone to see.

If they don’t recruit Shen Han, others will.

"If we were to cultivate Shen Han, it might distress Chenyang, possibly holding a grudge against us.

Moreover, when I intervened to help Chenyang, I almost injured that child.

He’s probably resentful towards me as well..."

Elder Sizhi expressed his concerns.

Upon hearing these words, his elder sister Dean Sixin approached him, sitting on a stone chair nearby.

"Chenyang has excellent talent, unlocking seven seals is indeed rare.

His swift Realm advancement shows the benefits talent has brought him.

However, this child lacks much self-awareness in cultivation.

The cultivation technique I passed on to him would take at least half a year to get familiar with.

And from entry to mastery, the time could probably be counted in years."

Dean Sixin spoke softly, his expression calm, but in his words, he continuously criticized Tang Chenyang.

"Chenyang is actually smart, just lacks a little self-discipline, he just needs more guidance."

"A loud drum doesn’t need a heavy beat, Chenyang lacks initiative, even in cultivation he needs us elders to push him, making it difficult for him to succeed.

His temperament is still quite restless and can’t handle harsh words.

Speaking of which, if it hadn’t been for the Tang Family Patriarch talking to me back then, and seeing the child unlock the seven restraints..."

Elder Sizhi was a bit surprised at his own sister’s evaluation.

He always thought his sister was accommodating Tang Chenyang because she liked the child in her heart.

Now it seems, his sister’s temperament is just like this.

Although displeased in his heart, he didn’t show it.

"As for you almost hurting that child, we should humble ourselves and apologize to him.

Sincerely, let’s see if the child can consider us."

What his sister said made Elder Sizhi even more serious.

"Sister, are you really not joking?"

"Chenyang, that child, it is hard for him to inherit our mantle.

It’s not just about the cultivation technique...

Even decades later, if you want to support him to become an elder, I’m afraid he won’t have the capability."

The heartfelt conversation between brother and sister was actually declaring that Tang Chenyang had lost his future.

Smart in temperament, but lacking ability, he surely can’t ascend to the elder position.

But with talent and strength, yet not smart enough, even if he ascends to the elder position, he would only be someone easily exploited.

"When you have time, go and find that child.

Make the gift a bit more valuable.

First, to uphold the authority of the Five Immortals City’s rules, letting the sect save face.

Secondly, to ease the tension with that child.

If suitable, test his talent and aptitude.

If possible, we can lower ourselves to win him over, there’s no problem with that."

Elder Sizhi looked up at his sister.

He hesitated for quite a while, but eventually nodded.

As he nodded, he glanced at the room where Tang Chenyang lived.

For those who are disappointed in you, even criticizing and scolding you feels like a chore.

Thinking back, Tang Chenyang always felt he wasn’t good enough.

In his heart, he only wished for Dean Sixin to discipline him.

But in reality, he had already disappointed his master.

Throughout the entire day, it seemed like Five Immortals City was discussing the match between Shen Han and Tang Chenyang.

Previously referred to by Wen Ranran as someone who could crush stones underfoot, Shen Han.

Yet he had trampled over Tang Chenyang.

In the eyes of Shen Han, the average-strength Tang Chenyang, his own strength far exceeded that of Qianmu Fan.

If Qianmu Fan had been the one to compete, he would inevitably be the one to lose.

Returning to their residence, both Qianmu Fan and Wen Ranran frowning deeply.

Just like Tang Chenyang, they hadn’t spoken a word for a long time.

Not until around 7:00 PM, when the servants brought in some food.

Only then did the two slightly snap back to reality.

"It’s all my fault this time..."

Wen Ranran, with some self-reproach, if it hadn’t been for her arranging this competition, it wouldn’t have turned out this way.

"Senior sister, don’t say that, I know you meant well for me..."

Qianmu Fan replied softly.

Yet Wen Ranran seemed eager to inquire about something, unable to resist pressing further.

"Junior brother, how much do you know about Shen Han?

Is there a reason he ended up as a servant disciple?

Did he do this on purpose?"

Previously, Wen Ranran, when mentioning Shen Han, would always criticize and reproach him alongside Qianmu Fan.

But at this moment, she started trying to understand more about Shen Han.

Hearing this, Qianmu Fan’s face showed clear displeasure.

"Senior sister, you should know, I have no friendship with Shen Han, instead there’s more animosity.

How could I possibly know these things about him?"

Wen Ranran also noticed Qianmu Fan’s displeasure and wisely dropped the subject.

However, in her heart, it only piqued her curiosity even more.

This Shen Han, who could make her junior brother intimidated without a fight.

After the match, he directly won against Tang Chenyang.

She also understood, after this match, it would be impossible for Shen Han to remain among the servant disciples.

In fact, Shen Han might become a direct disciple.

Previously, treating Shen Han merely as a servant disciple, of course, warranted no further scrutiny.

But now, things were different.

Seeing Qianmu Fan unwilling to say more, Wen Ranran ate some of the food with him.

After a few comforting words, she made an excuse to leave.

Thinking along the way, she returned to the Wen Family’s mansion.

Wen Ranran knew, without any surprises.

That night, the Wen family elders would surely have a lot to ask her.

Today’s match was originally just a playful event.

But clearly, this time, the playfulness had gone too far.

The title of a servant disciple surpassing a direct disciple was significant.

The higher-ups of Five Immortals City might also be alarmed.

Returning to the Wen family estate, Wen Ranran hadn’t yet returned to her room.

As soon as a maid saw her, she immediately came up.

"Miss, the patriarch and many others are in the study, saying as soon as you return, you should go find them immediately."
