"The Tenth Elder is right."
"There are only three days left for the assessment. The five people recommended by Shen Yunlian have all arrived."
Shen Tianpeng smiled bitterly.
Others saw him as the leader of the Shen Family and the leader of the family.
However, he knew his own difficulties.
A huge family had to be run with caution. As the leader, he had to be careful with his words and actions. He could not afford to make a single mistake. There were many things that were beyond his control.
The elders of the family had to make a joint decision.
The Shen Family of the Tianmu Territory was indeed a branch of the Shen Family of the Tianlan True Domain.
However, they were separated by millions of miles.
For countless years, the Shen Family of the Tianmu Territory did not offer much. Instead, they used up the family's resources. This made the elders and members of the family very unhappy.
It was the time for the Seibu Gakuen assessment.
Shen Yunlian sent another five geniuses. Needless to say, he wanted to get a place to participate in the assessment.
Normally, the Shen Family would be happy if Shen Yunlian sent geniuses to the Shen Family. This was because they did not take up much of the family's resources.
However, five geniuses were sent this time. It was obvious that they were here for the assessment.
"Leader, Shen Yunlian did not contribute to the family at all. Instead, he took up the family's resources. We don't need him."
"I will not give up my spot. I want to enter the Seibu Gakuen."
"What geniuses can he send?
The previous four were just so-so. They couldn't even take one hit from me. "
"How can a country bumpkin from a remote place be qualified to participate in the Seibu Gakuen assessment?
What a joke! "
"We have done our best to let them stay in the Shen Family."
Hearing Shen Tianpeng's words, the elders' faces turned cold.
They looked at Shen Tianpeng, wanting to know how he would deal with this. However, the geniuses of the Shen Family could not hold it in anymore. They started to discuss with dissatisfaction.
They were the strongest geniuses among the younger generation of the Shen Family.
They had reached the peak of the Half-Saint realm before the age of fifty.
Basically, they were all Eighth or Ninth Tribulation Half-Saints. Among their peers, they were definitely the strongest.
Seibu Gakuen recruited disciples once every ten years. If they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait for another ten years. However, most of them could not afford to wait. Once they fell behind, they would fall behind for life.
Moreover, each person could only participate in the assessment once in their lifetime.
"Let him settle down first."
"Let them become outer disciples of the Shen family."
"Being able to become an outer disciple of the Shen Family is already very good to them. We can't possibly destroy the future of the Shen Family's disciples. Moreover, even if we give them a place to participate, it will only be a waste. What do you think, Clan Leader?"
The Second Elder, who had been silent all this while, opened his mouth.
After saying that, he looked at the clan leader who was sitting in the main seat.
The elders and geniuses glanced at the Patriarch, Shen Tianpeng.
"Patriarch."
As soon as the Second Elder finished speaking.
Before the Patriarch could speak.
An unparalleled Holy Aura came from outside the hall, and the space was constantly distorted under the Holy Aura.
A cold voice resounded through the hall.
Instantly, all the experts present were startled.
Then, he looked puzzled and worshipful.
The ones who didn't understand were naturally the elders and patriarchs.
Of course, it was the monstrous geniuses present.
Soon, a figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall. A young man in snow-white robes walked in. The young man walked with majestic steps and was extremely domineering.
"Elder brother."
"Brother Ling Xiao."
When the young man entered the hall, the geniuses present all greeted him.
Their faces were filled with respect and admiration.
Ling Xiao was the number one genius among the younger generation of the Shen Family.
He learned to read at the age of three, Xiantian at five, Vientiane at ten, Heavenly Being at twenty, and Half-Saint at thirty. Three years ago, he was already a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint. In the Saint Martial Heavenly City, he was known as one of the top ten pinnacle experts.
His sword cultivation was sky-high, and he was invincible among those of the same level.
It was certain that he would become a Saint.
He was the most likely person in the Shen Family to become the Great Sage.
However, he was unlucky. During the previous Seibu Gakuen's recruitment, his cultivation was not enough and he missed it.
"Ling Xiao is here."
"What's the matter?"
The Patriarch asked with a smile.
When the other elders present looked at Ling Xiao, they were also smiling. He was the most likely person in the Shen Family to become the Great Sage. If he became the Great Sage, the Shen Family's status would rise by another level.
"I heard that Shen Yunlian sent a few geniuses here."
"For Shen Qingqing's sake, I'll give them a chance."
"I'll suppress my cultivation. If they can take a hit from me, they'll get a spot."
Shen Lingxiao said indifferently.
His tone was as if he was making a decision for the Patriarch.
"Alright."
"Ling Xiao, watch your actions."
The Patriarch smiled.
However, he was extremely unhappy. He, the Patriarch, did not even say anything. A disciple had already made the decision for him. However, Shen Lingxiao's talent was heaven-defying, and he was also from the Grand Elder's faction.
They were all aware of Shen Lingxiao's strength.
He was a Ninth Tribulation half-True Saint.
Even if they were in the same level, they could not take a hit from him.
Not to mention a few poor Fifth Tribulation half-True Saints.
Lin Ye was brought to the Shen Family's residence.
Looking at the huge maze of the Shen Family's residence, he could only be shocked.
First-grade families were indeed powerful.
Here, one could meet geniuses everywhere. Moreover, these geniuses were extremely strong. Even he had to treat them seriously.
"Wait here first."
The guard arranged Lin Ye in the living room.
The maid served fragrant tea, cupped her fists slightly, and left.
He was not polite to Lin Ye at all.
Lin Ye naturally knew that he was an outsider from the Heavenly Purification Territory. He was not in the eyes of others at all. There was no reason for the guard to be polite to him.
Deng deng ~
Deng deng ~
Half an hour later.
The fragrant tea in front of Lin Ye had already turned cold, but he did not show the slightest impatience at all.
There was a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, a series of footsteps sounded, and they were walking towards the living room.
Soon, a few experts of the Shen Family appeared in Lin Ye's line of sight.
The leader was a middle-aged man in blue who looked to be in his forties. His body exuded the aura of a superior, and the aura of a Saint wrapped around his body, giving people a huge sense of oppression.
Beside him was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.
The young man was dressed in snow-white clothes, and he looked elegant and cold.
Behind him were a few young men and women in their twenties, and all of them were Ninth Tribulation half-True Saints.
When they came to the living room, their eyes fell on Lin Ye.
Their eyes were full of disdain and contempt when they looked at Lin Ye, as if they were looking at a beggar on the roadside.
"I am Lin Ye."
"Greetings, senior."
Lin Ye stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man.
He did not know who had come.
But he could tell that this middle-aged man was a Great Sage, and not an ordinary Saint. Even if he was at his peak, he could only run if he faced this middle-aged man.
The young man beside him gave people a sense of extreme danger.
Lin Ye secretly noted this in his heart.
"You are the person recommended by Shen Yunlian?"
Shen Tianpeng glanced at Lin Ye.
He walked towards the main seat.
After taking his seat, he asked Lin Ye.
He had no intention of letting Lin Ye sit.
The other young men took their seats after Shen Tianpeng sat down. In the living room, Lin Ye stood alone.
"Indeed, the Great Emperor asked me to come."
Lin Ye replied politely.
