Zhou Ao didn't know if it was intentional or if it was just the way it was.
His words were so loud that the tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, who were originally in an uproar, immediately quieted down.
Following that, thousands of gazes fell on Cang Qing in unison, including some of the elders.
Everyone wanted to know what Cang Jin would choose. Would it be the first elder, Ji Tianran, or the second elder, Cold-Blooded Tie?
After all, the two of them were the top two in the Sun Sect's Elder Hall.
Especially Ji Tianran, he was the first elder, and his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle realm.
"Cang Jin, don't choose me. My path doesn't suit you."
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, causing everyone's eyes to pop out.
Cang Jin's performance in this competition was remarkable, even though his brilliance was overshadowed by Wang Yan.
But the person who won first place was Cang Jin, not Wang Yan.
Moreover, Cang Jin's strength had already reached the Star Guide realm. Even though he hadn't reached the peak, he was comparable to the Star Forging realm.
Now that he had become an inner sect disciple, entering the Star Forging realm was only a matter of time.
Moreover, when he first entered the Sun Sect, the talent he displayed shocked everyone, just like the current Wang Yan.
Because of this, Zhou Ao, who was in charge of the outer sect, didn't hesitate to lower his own status and persuade Cang Jin to become his disciple.
But at this moment, such a talented disciple was directly rejected by Ji Tianran.
Once these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"I can't teach you either."
A cold voice rang out. The second elder, Cold-Blooded Tie, once again rejected Cang Jin!
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Even Nie Feichen was a little dazed.
"You … what are you doing?!
After all, Cang Qing won first place in this competition. "
"According to the rules, he has the right to choose any one of us eight elders as his master. Why are you rejecting him?!"
Seeing that the disciple whom he had taken a fancy to was being looked down upon, Zhou Ao could no longer sit still.
Unexpectedly, Sun Wuwei sneered and said in a strange tone, "Zhou Ao, I think the one who wants to be Cang Jin's master the most is you, right?"
"Since Eighth Elder already has this thought, how can I not do as you wish?
Therefore … I also refuse to accept Cang Jin as my disciple. "
If Ji Tianran and Cold-Blooded Tie had refused to accept Cang Jin as a disciple, it would still make sense.
After all, the two of them were ranked first and second among the eight great elders of the Sun Sect, so they naturally had their own pride.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Wuwei's voice fell, Zhou Ao stood up, his old face full of anger, but he sneered again and again.
"It's fine if Old Devil Tie and Old Man Ji refuse, but who do you think you are, Sun Wuwei?"
"You're just the Seventh Elder. Your cultivation isn't even as high as mine. What right do you have to speak here?"
In an instant, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The tens of thousands of outer sect disciples looked at this rare scene with dumbfounded expressions, and they could not help but be secretly amazed.
The elders started arguing. This was comparable to a grand event like the outer sect competition.
"What did you say?!
Zhou Ao, do you want to compete with me? "
Facing Sun Wuwei's angry questioning, Zhou Ao was not afraid at all. He sneered and rolled up his sleeves.
"You want to fight, right?
Fine, I'll accompany you to the end. Today, I'll make your hypocritical b * tch blossom! "
Seeing that the elders, who were usually well-respected and had a dignified image, were about to start a fight over an outer sect disciple, Nie Feichen smiled helplessly.
"Quiet, Seventh Elder, Eighth Elder, can the two of you not do this in front of tens of thousands of disciples?
Don't forget your identities. Wouldn't doing this make people laugh their heads off? "
Nie Feichen's voice was still gentle, and his face was full of smiles.
However, when Sun Wuwei and Zhou Ao saw this smile, their bodies instantly trembled, and they hurriedly bowed and retreated, not saying a word.
"Cang Jin, you've obtained first place, so you have the right to choose any elder as your master.
This is the rule of the Blazing Sun Sect, and no one is allowed to go against it! "
His soft voice did not contain any power, and it was as if he was murmuring softly.
In an instant, the expressions of all the elders changed drastically.
"Sect Leader, please don't blame us."
"I misspoke, please don't blame us, Sect Leader."
Almost at the same time, Ji Tianran and Tie Lengxue stood up and bowed in unison.
Laughing lightly, Nie Feichen shook his head. "Elder Ji, Elder Tie, please always remember the rules of the Blazing Sun Sect."
Hearing this, all the elders could not help but keep quiet out of fear, and no one dared to act rashly.
At this moment, Nie Feichen looked at Cang Jin with a gratified expression. "Choose, any elder is fine."
In an instant, seven gazes landed on Cang Jin at the same time.
A formless and terrifying pressure silently appeared, causing the space around Cang Jin to freeze!
And Wang Yan, who was right next to Cang Jin, was in great pain, because even he was affected.
That terrifying pressure was like the might of the heavens, and it almost crushed his divine soul.
"How will you choose?"
At this moment, Nie Feichen spoke again.
In an instant, Wang Yan felt as if a spring breeze had brushed past his face, and the terrifying pressure from before had completely dissipated.
"Master, please accept a bow from your disciple."
Suddenly, Cang Jin bowed to Zhou Ao!
"Hahaha, good!" Zhou Ao's laughter resounded, spreading throughout the entire Sun Sect.
As for the elders, apart from Ji Tianran, Tie Lengxue, and Sun Wuwei, all of them had expressions of pity.
Because in their eyes, Cang Jin was a rare seedling. If he was nurtured properly, his future would be limitless.
"Old Eight really got lucky."
"Yeah, with his fiery temper, what can he teach? Really …"
"Sigh, it's time, it's fate …"
Just as the elders were discussing, Ji Tianran suddenly looked at Wang Yan and said something that no one expected.
"Wang Yan, are you willing to accept me as your master?"
In an instant, Zhou Ao's laughter disappeared, and the elders' discussions fell silent.
It was as if the world had turned into a vacuum at this moment, and not a single sound could be heard.
"I also like Wang Yan a lot. Elder Ji, why don't you give him to me?"
A calm voice suddenly resounded in the dead silence. Ji Tianran was startled, and then he nodded with a bitter smile.
As for the other elders, their eyes were wide open as if they had seen something that shocked even experts like them.
Nie Feichen actually stood up from his throne and walked in front of Wang Yan, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Wang Yan, are you willing to be my personal disciple?"
The sect master's personal disciple?!
Just this identity alone was enough to be on equal footing with the elders!
In an instant, the crowded outer sect square erupted into an uproar.
Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the thin figure, revealing expressions of envy and jealousy.
Li Qingshu's body trembled violently a few times, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Disciple … disciple's aptitude is stupid, and I'm also a cripple. I'm really not fit to be the sect master's disciple."
Under the gaze of countless people, Wang Yan slowly said these words, then he cupped his fists and bowed.
In an instant, the air suddenly became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
It was as if there were no living beings in this world, and the thousands of outer sect disciples were like wooden statues.
