After a while, the attendant came back and said to the man, "Young master." The man looked at Yan Yue and said, "The opening of the mountain seems to have been delayed for a few days. It seems like they're waiting for someone."
"Ah?
It's not over yet? Then what's the point of me coming now? "The man frowned and sighed," Could it be that they're waiting for me? "
His attendant grunted and didn't reply.
The man turned around and walked back to Yan Yue, "Little brother, let's come back in two days. There are so many people here."
Yan Yue raised her head and smiled at the man, "You have a backup plan. I'm just an ordinary person."
Although there were many people around, Yan Yue heard the news she wanted. Today was the last day of the disciple recruitment. It was supposed to end three days ago, but it had been delayed until today.
She didn't know if she should be happy about her luck or if it was the will of the heavens.
The man was stunned and murmured, "Actually, you're very beautiful when you smile."
When he turned around, his face reddened. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How did you know that I have a backup plan?"
"You knew that it would end three days ago, but you only came today. When you found out that the deadline hadn't passed, you felt that it was a pity. Do you think that it's hard to guess what you're thinking?"
Yan Yue slowly walked towards the crowd. She didn't know if that was his real goal, but what did it have to do with her?
There was no need to think so much.
"Young master, should we go back or …" The attendant said to the man.
The man lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Let's go back to the bamboo courtyard first. Chi Ying, you and Lin Bi go inform Martial Uncle Nie. The rest of you, come with me."
The people behind him replied in unison, "Yes, young master!"
The man glanced at Yan Yue, who was already far away, then turned around and looked at his right hand. His lips curled into a mysterious smile. I'm really looking forward to our next meeting!
At this moment, his eyes no longer had the warm smile he had shown in front of Yan Yue. Instead, they were filled with a fierce domineering aura and a hint of hostility.
Yan Yue walked along the path with fewer people, but even so, she was still squeezed. There were simply too many people. Wasn't it just a Tianyi Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony? Was there a need for so many people to squeeze here?
Could it be that Cultivators were also so fond of excitement?
At this time, Yan Yue was pulling her clothes tightly, trying her best not to let others touch her. She had always been disgusted with other people touching her. She carefully locked her body and slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, the originally luxurious and noisy crowd quieted down. Yan Yue had been walking with her head down and did not notice anything. It was only when she realized that her surroundings had become very quiet that she raised her head and looked forward.
The originally gloomy mountain peaks were like reflections in the water. Above them, it was as if someone had thrown a stone, causing the water to ripple and the entire mountain peak to sway.
A dot of light lit up above. Gradually, the dot of light became bigger and brighter, forming a dazzling halo. It was as if the sun in the sky was not as bright as that halo.
Yan Yue slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at the figure slowly walking out of the halo. The light gradually weakened, and Yan Yue could finally see the inside of the halo clearly. There were high mountains, flowing water, and flying birds. It really looked like a fairyland on earth. It turned out that the gloomy mountain peaks outside were just an illusion. This feeling was not like a mirage. This illusion was actually more real than reality. Yan Yue could not help but feel a little shocked. It really was a different world!
At this moment, the crowd was like a burning hornet's nest. All of a sudden, it became noisy. The screams of women and the shouts of men were really noisier than the meeting place of celebrities and fans.
People excitedly looked at the people walking out of the halo and called out the names of their idols. The scene was very lively.
At this moment, the crowd was a little chaotic. Yan Yue had no choice but to carefully retreat to the side. She did not want to be affected by the excited crowd.
After a while, the crowd gradually quieted down.
Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the figures slowly walking out. Their expressions were indescribably excited.
Yan Yue yawned in boredom. The Tianyi Sect was worthy of being the second largest Sect in the Huanghai Continent. Its grandeur and fame really made people sigh.
She was glad that she did not fear or worship it so much. Raising others up meant lowering herself. Her pride never allowed her to yield to anyone.
Yan Yue's small yawn was originally nothing in the eyes of these ten thousand people. However, under the situation where everyone was silent and did not move, her action was a little abrupt.
Yan Yue was looking at the crowd in boredom. Suddenly, she felt that many gazes were focused on her. Then, she felt as if her whole body was being enveloped by divine senses.
Following the gazes, she saw that they were from the Tianyi Sect. On both sides of the halo, there were two rows of cultivators from the Tianyi Sect. There were four on each side, so there were eight of them. In the middle, there were two people, a man and a woman. The man was gentle and elegant, and the woman was beautiful and alluring.
At this moment, the two people were looking at Yan Yue with faint smiles. However, the eight people on the side looked at Yan Yue with slightly unfriendly gazes.
Yan Yue curled her lips and raised her eyebrows slightly. Was there a need for that? Wasn't it just a yawn?
Lightly tapping her eyelids, Yan Yue quietly sensed her surroundings. She could only feel that the divine senses of the eight people on both sides were enveloping her. As for whether the two people in the middle used their divine senses on her, she was not sure. Perhaps it was because she was too weak that she could not feel it.
Raising her head and sweeping her gaze around, she did not find anything amiss. Could it be that she was thinking too much? When those people from the Tianyi Sect were looking at her, she clearly felt that there was someone in the crowd looking at her as well. Although that feeling was very faint.
Yan Yue shrugged her shoulders. Since she was on her own side, she shouldn't have provoked anyone. Since that was the case, there was nothing to think about. As long as they did not provoke her, it would be fine.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Martial Ancestor Hito!" Everyone looked in the direction of the person who walked out of the halo. The already excited crowd became even more excited.
Martial Ancestor Hito?
Was he very famous?
Looking at such a fanatical crowd, Yan Yue's heart was filled with confusion.
The eight people standing on both sides bowed in salute to that Martial Ancestor Hito. Even the man and woman standing in the middle bowed their heads in salute.
Raising her eyebrows, Yan Yue thought to herself, could it be that some important person had come?
That man walked out from the backlight. Only then did Yan Yue clearly see his appearance. He was dressed in a light blue robe with a faint crystalline hue. It was clearer than the azure sky. His dark hair reached his ankles, like a drooping willow, drifting in the wind.
But …
Looking at the light blue soft sand covering the man's eyes, Yan Yue sighed. In the end, people were not so perfect.
This should have been a devastatingly beautiful face that could cause the downfall of a city, a face that could make even the heavens and earth pale in comparison. What a pity.
Even so, the man's charm did not diminish in the slightest. An extremely faint smile hung at the corner of his lips, making people's emotions gradually calm down under that smile. It always gave people a faint warmth at the bottom of their hearts.
Just looking at that person, looking at that figure, looking at that smile at the corner of his lips, Yan Yue did not know what the others were thinking. But she felt that under that warmth, there was a faint sadness hidden behind that smile. Nothing could be seen from the expression on his face, but that was what Yan Yue felt.
She had heard people say that there was a kind of person who was like the last ray of light before the setting sun. It was sad, beautiful, and lonely, as if it would disappear in the next second. Yan Yue had not believed it before, but now, she believed it.
Shaking her head and sighing twice, Yan Yue shifted her gaze elsewhere. If she looked at such a person for a long time, her heart would surge with heartache. This was not what she wanted.
Was her state of mind too low? Looking at the excited crowd, everyone's gazes towards that person were filled with worship and respect. Of course, there were also many gazes of adoration, but she did not see anyone looking at that person with heartache.
In fact, Yan Yue and the people of this world were very different. Yan Yue came from the twenty-first century. It was an era where men and women were equal and free. It was an era where one's fate was in their own hands. The people there did not fear or worship those in a higher position, and they did not despise and disdain those in a lower position. Between everyone, no matter if you were in a higher position or a lower position, there was a kind of equal relationship.
But the people of this world were different. They feared and worshipped the strong, and held a deep contempt for the weak. In their hearts, the strong were existences that they looked up to and were worthy of their respect. At the moment when they looked up to the strong, they had never thought that they would one day become the existence that they once looked up to.
Strong meant that everything was strong. Those who pitied the weak were in the minority. Who would feel sorry for the strong?
In their hearts, they always felt that the strong were like the sky, and there was no need to feel sorry for them.
Therefore, it was not that Yan Yue's state of mind was too low, but that their worldviews were different. The education they had received was different, and when they encountered things, the way they thought was very different.
It was just like when a person who read books and a person who did not read books chatted. Sometimes, they were two different worlds, and their thoughts ran in different directions.
What happened next was much more orderly. A group of people led those who wanted to enter the Tianyi Sect to the front. A pair of people landed at the front, and four pearls were placed in the four directions. Those who wanted to enter the Tianyi Sect entered and came out after a while. Those who were selected were arranged to stand at one side, and those who were not selected left dejectedly.
The Tianyi Sect was very strict when it came to accepting disciples. Most people were rejected, and the probability of being selected was less than one in ten.
Yan Yue did not know what the criteria were for being selected. She should be able to pass, right? She felt a little uncertain.
Time passed slowly, and the crowd gradually decreased. That Grandmaster Hito only covered his face at the beginning, and then left.
When the sun was about to set, there were only a few hundred people left in the originally noisy crowd. Those people were those who were nearby to watch the show, and those who were not selected to stay there to watch the show.
Yan Yue stood at one side without moving from the beginning until there were fewer people, and there was no need to queue.
Yan Yue then took a step towards those people from the Tianyi Sect.
