Gongsun Xiao took the initiative to invite Ye Qing to be her head disciple. In the training grounds, all the inner sect disciples looked over with envy.
One had to know that Gongsun Xiao was ranked second among the nine elders. Her martial arts skills were extremely shocking!
Furthermore, she had no disciple now. If Ye Qing agreed, he would be her head disciple. With only one disciple, wouldn't she teach him diligently?
Compared to Gongsun Xiao, many elders had many disciples under them. There were even more than a hundred of them. With so many disciples to train, the amount of effort spent on each disciple was naturally insufficient.
What was even more enviable was Gongsun Xiao's peerless beauty.
If Ye Qing were to become Gongsun Xiao's head disciple, then he would be the first one to enjoy the moonlight!
In Higashiba Seimune, there were no secular rules. The so-called rule of master and disciple not being able to marry did not exist in Higashiba Seimune.
As long as both parties were willing and truly loved each other, even if it was a master and disciple relationship, it didn't matter much.
Of course, even so, there weren't many who had a true master and disciple relationship.
Despite Gongsun Xiao's invitation, Ye Qing's face was calm and he didn't say anything.
The inner sect disciples in the training grounds were extremely anxious. They felt anxious for Ye Qing. If it were them, they would have immediately accepted Gongsun Xiao's invitation!
"Ye Qing, tell me your answer!" Gongsun Xiao asked further.
Ye Qing looked lazy and waved his hand, "What are you so anxious for? There are still other elders who haven't expressed their feelings. Even if you really want me, don't be so impatient!"
Hearing Ye Qing's words, all the inner sect disciples present were stunned. Why did they feel that there was something wrong with Ye Qing's words?
"Damn, why does Ye Qing's words sound like there's something wrong with them?"
"Is there something wrong with them?
Doesn't Elder Gongsun Xiao want him? "
"That's right, that's right. Look at Elder Gongsun Xiao's impatient expression. Her face is red!"
The inner sect disciples began to discuss secretly, and the scene became very noisy.
Gongsun Xiao gently spat, her face flushed red. She didn't say anything. Ye Qing's words were too ambiguous, so she could only remain silent.
In addition, she had already expressed her intentions. As for whether Ye Qing would accept it or not, that was up to Ye Qing himself.
Following that, many other Elders expressed their intentions one after another. Without a doubt, every Elder chose Ye Qing.
The main reason was that Ye Qing's talent was too monstrous. They had no choice but to choose him. Even if they knew that their chances of being chosen by Ye Qing were not high, they still had to give it a try.
The selection of disciples was a two-way selection. The nine elders of Higashiba Seimune had all taken a fancy to Ye Qing. Such a situation was within everyone's expectations.
As for Zhao Wenguang and Qiu Ye Xuan, who were evaluated as having perfect talent, many Elders were still willing to choose them. However, compared to Ye Qing, their popularity was on a completely different level.
After the nine Elders were done with their selection, it was the normal Elders' turn.
Most of the normal Elders knew their own limits. They didn't choose Ye Qing or the other inner sect disciples with perfect talent, but chose some of the more outstanding inner sect disciples.
The selection of disciples went on for a long time. After the Elders made their choice, the disciples could immediately agree, consider for a period of time, or reject on the spot.
Of course, rejecting on the spot was very rare. Even if the disciples didn't like the Elders, they would leave themselves a way out and consider for a period of time before making a decision.
After about half an hour, the selection of disciples by the Elders finally came to an end.
Following that, the chosen disciples had to tell them their answer, because the Elders didn't have much time to waste.
"Ye Qing, tell us your answer now. The nine Elders have chosen you. According to the two-way selection principle, you can choose any of the Elders to be your Master." The Great Elder said slowly.
Everyone looked over. The nine Elders were all paying attention to Ye Qing, waiting for Ye Qing's answer.
They were all a little excited. In the previous Inner Sect Innate Talent Testing Competition, such a situation had never happened before.
"Ahem, ahem, what are you all looking at me for? There are eight men here, and only one beauty. Who do you think I'll choose?" Ye Qing said with a smile.
When the nine Elders heard this, except for Gongsun Xiao, they all sighed. They had missed the opportunity to be with a peerless genius!
Ye Qing's meaning couldn't be more obvious. Among the eight men, he didn't want to choose. Instead, he chose the great beauty Gongsun Xiao.
In terms of martial strength, Gongsun Xiao was only below the Great Elder. She was fully qualified to be Ye Qing's Master. In addition to her peerless beauty, there was no reason for Ye Qing not to choose her.
In the Sparring Grounds, many inner sect disciples were sighing. The goddess in their hearts was about to become Ye Qing's Master. How could they not be sad?
"I knew it. Ye Qing definitely wouldn't choose the strongest Great Elder, but the beautiful Second Elder!"
"What a pervert. If it were me, I would definitely choose the strongest Great Elder. In this world, strength is everything. As long as you're strong enough, what kind of woman can't you have?"
"You don't say. I think Ye Qing's choice is completely correct. The Second Elder's husband, Gongsun Xiao, isn't much weaker than the Great Elder. Moreover, she's good at music. Spending time with the Second Elder is a pleasure!"
The disciples in the Sparring Grounds were all talking at once. They all had different opinions about Ye Qing's choice.
Many inner sect disciples were envious. Gongsun Xiao's beauty was unparalleled. She was the goddess in the hearts of many young men!
Now, Ye Qing was about to become the first disciple of the goddess. In the future, he would have countless opportunities to get close to the goddess. This was the dream of many young men.
"Ye Qing, very good!
I, Gongsun Xiao, guarantee that I will teach you well!
With your talent, it's not impossible for you to become the Holy Son in the future! "Gongsun Xiao was overjoyed.
In reality, Gongsun Xiao had her own thoughts. She could give Ye Qing pointers in martial arts. In a place where no one was around, she could secretly ask Ye Qing for advice in music. That wouldn't be a big deal. After all, no one would know and it wouldn't be embarrassing.
"Alright, Ye Qing has made his choice. Next, it's Zhao Wenguang's turn!"
The Great Elder spoke slowly and turned his gaze to Zhao Wenguang.
At this moment, Zhao Wenguang was about to speak. Previously, he was hesitating between the Great Elder and the Third Elder. This was because he was related to the Third Elder. The Third Elder was his uncle.
However, in comparison, the Great Elder was slightly more powerful. Hence, he hesitated for a moment.
After some internal struggle, Zhao Wenguang gritted his teeth and decided to choose the Third Elder. This was because the Great Elder had many disciples and he might not be the most talented one.
The First Elder wouldn't spend too much energy on Zhao Wenguang, but the Third Elder was different. With the relationship between the two of them and Zhao Wenguang's perfect talent, the Third Elder was bound to place great importance on him and focus on nurturing him.
"I …"
Zhao Wenguang was about to speak, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Ye Qing.
"I'm sorry, Great Elder. You're mistaken. I don't want Gongsun Xiao to be my master," Ye Qing said calmly.
