Wang Yan was taken aback. He hurriedly asked, "Senior apprentice-brother, did something big happen in the sect?"
The disciple nodded his head and hurriedly said, "Junior-apprentice brother Wang, don't ask so many questions. Tell me everything on the way."
Hearing this, Wang Yan hesitated for a moment. In the end, he brought Wang Xian 'er and followed the disciple to the main hall.
The main hall referred to the outer sect's main hall, not the inner sect's main hall, nor the Sun Sect's true main hall.
Without passing a series of tests or reaching the Star Forging realm, it was impossible to become an inner sect disciple.
Unless one made a great contribution to the sect, or became a so-called honorary disciple.
Thus, there were only these two ways to advance to the inner sect.
"Senior apprentice-brother, what was the meaning of those three tolls?
Why are we going to the main hall? "
On the way, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"Junior-apprentice brother Wang, Junior-apprentice sister Xian 'er, you two have only been in the sect for a short time, so it's normal that you don't know some of the rules.
"When the bell tolls three times, apart from the disciples in seclusion, everyone must gather in the outer sect's main hall. There is something important to announce.
"When the bell tolls six times, it means that the inner sect has to gather."
At this point, the disciple paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the bell tolls nine times, it means that the sect will be exterminated."
The disciple smiled. "However, since the founding of the Sun Sect, nine tolls of the bell has never been heard."
Hearing this, Wang Yan nodded his head, indicating that he understood.
… …
The outer sect's main hall was located in the center of the Sun Sect. Along the way, disciples could be seen hurrying about.
Without exception, everyone walked towards the main hall.
The arrival of Wang Yan and the others immediately caused quite a commotion. Everyone who saw them was completely captivated.
Of course, ninety percent of the gazes fell on Wang Xian 'er.
There was no other reason than that Wang Xian 'er's beauty had already reached a level where everyone couldn't help but look at her.
Wang Xian 'er frowned as she sensed the many fiery gazes on her. She lowered her head timidly.
However, this small action caused all the disciples gathered in the hall to suck in a breath of cold air.
As a result, Wang Xian'er's every frown and smile attracted everyone's attention. Even Wang Yan, who was beside her, was being watched.
"Big brother."
Wang Xian 'er called out softly. Wang Yan understood and immediately shielded her behind him. He then stood close to the entrance of the hall and did not move forward.
Wang Yan's actions immediately attracted many angry gazes.
In this regard, Wang Yan felt quite helpless. He secretly pondered whether he should let Wang Xian'er wear a veil in the future.
Otherwise, appearing in public like this would attract a lot of attention, and there would be a lot of trouble.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone call out "Eldest Senior Brother."
Wang Yan hurriedly looked up and saw Li Qingshu slowly walking into the hall. There was a gentle smile on his handsome face, and he nodded from time to time.
He was still dressed in white, and his black hair fell over his shoulders. As his clothes fluttered, he gave off a carefree and unrestrained aura.
A strong and confident aura exuded from his body, making him look even more imposing and charming.
Suddenly, Li Qingshu stopped, and his handsome face showed a never-before-seen smile.
"Junior Sister Xian'er, are you used to living in Sun Sect?"
In an instant, all eyes fell on Wang Xian'er. There were envy, jealousy, surprise, and all kinds of other gazes.
Being stared at by thousands of people, even Wang Xian'er, who was elegant by nature, could not help but blush and dare not raise her head.
Seeing this, Li Qingshu smiled gently. He was about to speak, but Wang Yan spoke before him.
"With Eldest Senior Brother taking care of me, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Li Qingshu nodded in satisfaction and said without hesitation, "If you need my help with anything, just say the word."
"In the outer sect, although I cannot take care of everything, I can take care of some small things."
Wang Yan was startled and hurriedly thanked Eldest Senior Brother.
Because at this moment, Li Qingshu did not hesitate to say such words in such an occasion, and his meaning was very clear.
Immediately, many people in the hall were in an uproar. Clearly, some people did not think that Li Qingshu would care so much for these two unknown ordinary disciples.
Qiu Chi hid in the crowd and glared fiercely at Wang Yan's back. However, he quickly returned to normal.
However, there was a hint of ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes that couldn't be concealed.
"Junior Sister Xian'er, you don't mind if I stand here, do you?"
Although he said this, Li Qingshu walked straight to Wang Xian'er's side and stood there without any intention of moving.
Seeing this, Wang Yan wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not open his mouth.
At this moment, a thin old man wearing an elder's robe walked into the hall with a majestic gait.
"Eighth Elder is here!"
Someone exclaimed, and Wang Yan quickly raised his head to look at the hall's entrance.
This old man had a wrinkled old face. As he walked, he gave off the wind of a tiger.
Every step he took contained an extremely obscure profound meaning. It was extremely profound, causing people to involuntarily raise their eyebrows.
Although he was old, his aura was very strong. It was like a glorious heavenly might that intimidated all things.
Before he even arrived, his oppressive aura caused the hall to become deathly silent. It was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
This person was the eighth elder of the eight great elders of the Sun Sect - Zhou Ao.
His cultivation had already reached level eight of Star Condensation.
Although this person was ranked at the bottom of the eight great elders, in terms of cultivation, he could be ranked in the top five.
"Is everyone here?"
Zhou Ao directly sat in the main seat of the hall, his eyes sweeping across all the disciples in the hall.
Hearing this, Li Qingshu, who was standing next to Wang Xian'er, hurriedly stepped forward and answered, "Reporting to Eighth Elder, of the eighteen thousand outer sect disciples, besides the hundred who are in seclusion, the rest are all here."
Zhou Ao nodded inconspicuously, but when his gaze swept across Wang Xian'er, his murky eyes flashed with a trace of light that could take one's soul away.
"Li Qingshu."
An indifferent voice sounded, causing Li Qingshu's heart to tremble. His head and waist bent even lower. "Disciple is here."
"As the eldest senior of the outer sect, don't you know the rules of our sect?"
"There's actually a level one Star Attractor disciple among the outer sect disciples. How did you, as the eldest senior, recruit new disciples?"
As his voice fell, Zhou Ao suddenly pointed a finger.
In an instant, there was a cry of surprise. As if grabbed by an invisible hand, Wang Xian'er floated uncontrollably in the air.
"This girl's cultivation is only at level one Star Attractor. How did she become an outer sect disciple?"
This sudden scene caused Wang Yan's heart to tremble. In his nervousness, he was about to speak, but Zhou Ao stared straight at Li Qingshu and shouted coldly again.
