Chapter 2

"Refuse it!"

For a moment, numerous sages surrounded Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly, "I cannot refuse."

The Sect Master's face instantly turned very unpleasant, "Lu Xuan, are you worried that you might be expelled from the Great Dao Sect if you don't recruit any disciples?"

Lu Xuan replied, "No."

The Sect Master said, "I can amend the rules of the Great Dao Sect for you. I grant you the special permission to remain the Master of Qingxuan Peak regardless of whether you have any disciples or not! So, you don't need to take Ji Fuyao as your disciple now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Xuan.

Now, Lu Xuan should give up, right?

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "I must take Ji Fuyao as my disciple!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a divine light flickered in Ji Fuyao's eyes, and her gaze toward Lu Xuan subtly changed.

Despite the pressure from numerous peak masters, Lu Xuan did not compromise!

She had too many secrets. During the entrance examination, she had already sealed them with ancient secret techniques. The talent and strength she displayed were just right, all to make the Great Dao Sect see!

But if she joined another sage's disciples, those secrets might be exposed!

Thinking of this, Ji Fuyao bowed to the Sect Master and others, then looked at Lu Xuan, "Sect Master, all peak masters, I have made up my mind! Master, let's go back to Qingxuan Peak."

Lu Xuan said, "Alright."

"Wait!"

Everyone directly blocked Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao: "Master Lu, no matter what, Fuyao cannot become your disciple today!"

But Lu Xuan's attitude was even more resolute, "She must become my disciple!"

For a moment, Lu Xuan directly confronted the Sect Master and others!

There was a moment of silence.

The Sect Master looked at Lu Xuan seriously and said, "Lu Xuan, Fuyao is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of our sect. She will become the cornerstone of our sect for ten thousand years. This is not a trivial matter! Your strength is even inferior to that of an outer sect disciple. How can you teach Fuyao well?"

Everyone was heartbroken and nodded in agreement.

They couldn't understand why Lu Xuan insisted on taking Ji Fuyao as his disciple.

Lu Xuan said solemnly, "Sect Master, who says I can't teach her well?"

The Sect Master laughed, "Since that's the case, I won't make it difficult for you. Do you dare to make a bet? In a month, there will be an inner sect competition. If Fuyao doesn't win first place, then you will no longer be her master, and Fuyao will join another spirit peak!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyao immediately whispered to Lu Xuan, "Don't agree! Those true disciples are all above the Xuan Emperor realm, and I am only a Great Xuan King. I have no absolute confidence in winning first place within a month!"

Lu Xuan ignored her and said confidently, "Sure! In a month, I will make Fuyao surpass all the young generation of the Great Dao Sect!"

As soon as these words were spoken!

Everyone was directly stunned, looking at Lu Xuan in disbelief.

What?

Who gave you such confidence!

Ji Fuyao's neck tilted slightly, her eyes filled with divine light, and she glared at Lu Xuan, her face flushed with anger.

The Sect Master and others almost couldn't hold back their laughter, "Very well! Very fast! Master Lu, since you are so confident, how about I add some difficulty?"

Lu Xuan remained calm, spreading his hands and saying, "I don't mind!"

The Sect Master smiled, "Within this month, Fuyao can only use the cultivation resources of Qingxuan Peak and cannot use any other cultivation resources of the Great Dao Sect!"

"Sure!" Lu Xuan smiled faintly, looking at Ji Fuyao, "Disciple, I am very confident. What about you?"

"Ah!"

Ji Fuyao immediately collapsed, biting her tender lips, her face flushed with anger as she stomped her feet on the ground.

She was so angry she wanted to hit someone!

She regretted choosing Lu Xuan as her master.

Clearly, this was a trap set by the Sect Master, and Lu Xuan fell for it!

Within this month, the Sect Master would definitely provide a lot of opportunities to those true disciples, and she would likely be no match for them!

Ji Fuyao felt like crying but couldn't.

The corners of the Sect Master and others' mouths couldn't be held back.

Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao, "Fuyao, let's go back to Qingxuan Peak."

Ji Fuyao's eyes were filled with flames, her red dress fluttering, her heart already broken, and she could only silently follow Lu Xuan away.

Looking at Lu Xuan's back, a gray-robed disciple whispered, "Haha! Ji Fuyao is a genius, but I think she's a bit stupid, choosing a waste as her master..."

Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao suddenly disappeared from her spot and appeared in front of the gray-robed disciple, her eyes cold, and she slowly spoke.

"What did you say?"

Ji Fuyao's anger had already reached its peak, with no outlet, and now it was completely out of control.

Boom!

A blazing divine light erupted from Ji Fuyao's body, a violent force flowing, and a terrifying pressure like a vast sea directly poured onto the gray-robed disciple.

The gray-robed disciple's face turned pale. Ji Fuyao's strength was far above his, and in a breath, he was directly suppressed to his knees, bleeding and unable to move.

Seeing this, the Sect Master and others were directly stunned.

Lu Xuan was also stunned.

His disciple Ji Fuyao was so fierce!

At this moment, another black-robed youth angrily said, "Ji Fuyao, in front of everyone, are you trying to kill a fellow disciple..."

Before he could finish, Ji Fuyao extended her delicate hand, and a terrifying force pressed down on the black-robed youth's head.

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed, "You talk too much. Kneel down too!"

Thud!

The black-robed youth was directly suppressed to his knees, completely unable to resist!

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

Even the Sect Master was shocked. This Ji Fuyao was so domineering!

Daring to act like this in front of so many people?

Wasn't she afraid they would suppress her?

Lu Xuan sighed in his heart. No wonder she was the Empress Fuyao, so domineering and invincible.

Suddenly, several outer sect elders rushed out, pointing at Ji Fuyao angrily, "Ji Fuyao! Remember, you are not yet a formal disciple of the Great Dao Sect! With the Sect Master here, how dare you be so reckless?"

Ji Fuyao didn't speak, but extended her delicate hand, and a divine light like a vast sea swept out, directly landing on the heads of these outer sect elders.

"Then kneel down!"

The outer sect elders roared, gritting their teeth, their spiritual energy surging, trying to resist.

But it was useless!

At the same level of Great Xuan King, Ji Fuyao was far above them!

Thud!

Thud!

In a breath, the outer sect elders knelt down in humiliation.

Seeing this, everyone in the scene was stunned.

Ji Fuyao's strength was too strong!

The Sect Master's eyes were deep, not surprised but pleased.

It seemed that during the entrance examination, Ji Fuyao still held back.

For a moment, a large number of people knelt down, and under Ji Fuyao's pressure, they felt like a mountain pressing down, unable to even lift their heads, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Completely overwhelming!

The faces of the outer sect elders were flushed with shame. They had knelt down to a disciple in front of so many people, which was extremely humiliating!

The Great Dao Sect had never seen such a situation!

At this moment, Ji Fuyao, in her red dress, had a beautiful and tender face but was very cold. A faint divine light emanated from her body, and a mysterious force continuously flowed, making her look like a divine maiden descending from the heavens, high and mighty, looking down on all.

Ji Fuyao's gaze swept over the suppressed people, and she said faintly, "How I choose is my business, not something you can comment on!"

As soon as these words were spoken!

All the elders and disciples were shocked.

Lu Xuan, however, smiled faintly, appreciating Ji Fuyao.

Everyone looked at Lu Xuan, and his smile made them feel like he was gloating, and they all despised him.

At this moment, the Sect Master slowly walked out.

At this point, he had to end this farce!

After all, Ji Fuyao had triggered the resonance of the Great Dao Bell and gained the attention of the Ancestor. The Ancestor had repeatedly emphasized that she must be admitted to the Great Dao Sect!

So, he must make Ji Fuyao feel a sense of belonging to the Great Dao Sect!

He had seen what happened just now. That outer sect disciple was indeed too talkative and had provoked Ji Fuyao's anger.

The Sect Master smiled warmly and walked toward Ji Fuyao, "Fuyao, that's enough. Let's just let this matter pass. For this month, you can temporarily follow Lu Xuan for cultivation, and we won't interfere. Are you satisfied?"

Ji Fuyao's beautiful face relaxed, and she nodded lightly, "There's one more thing."

The Sect Master smiled, "Go ahead."

Ji Fuyao's gaze swept over the kneeling elders and disciples, "Sect Master, I don't like it when people comment on me... and my master."

The Sect Master immediately scolded, "Apologize to Fuyao and Master Lu! From now on, no one is allowed to comment on Master Lu and Fuyao!"

Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples trembled and knelt down to apologize to Lu Xuan.

"Ji Fuyao... Master Lu, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

"I won't do it again..."

"..."

Seeing this, Ji Fuyao withdrew her pressure, bowed slightly to the Sect Master, "Thank you."

Then Ji Fuyao walked to Lu Xuan, "Master, let's go back."

The Sect Master reminded, "Fuyao, don't forget to go to the Great Dao Hall to claim your examination rewards and complete the admission procedures."

Ji Fuyao replied, "Okay, Sect Master."

Lu Xuan led Ji Fuyao away slowly.

Seeing their backs, the elders and disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had all been intimidated by Ji Fuyao just now!

But the Sect Master's attitude was also intriguing, clearly placing great importance on Ji Fuyao!

Soon, everyone put the previous incident behind them and continued to join the various spirit peaks.

At the same time, Lu Xuan led Ji Fuyao up the mountain.

Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "Disciple, you did well just now."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Huh?"

Why did "disciple" sound so natural?

Her anger flared up again!

She had already sent a message to Lu Xuan to refuse the bet, but he didn't listen!

Was Lu Xuan really taking himself as her master?

Ji Fuyao's eyes sparkled like a blazing flame, "Why did you agree to the Sect Master just now? Are you so confident in me?"

Lu Xuan smiled, "No, I am confident in myself. Trust me, within a month, I will make you the top young talent of the Great Dao Sect!"

Ji Fuyao's face was full of question marks, "???"

She didn't want to talk to Lu Xuan anymore.

She was thinking about the incident with the outer sect elders and disciples just now.

She had acted out of two reasons: to establish her authority and to test the Great Dao Sect's attitude toward a genius like her!

The result was satisfactory.

It seemed that the Great Dao Sect would indeed give geniuses some privileges!

Ji Fuyao knew that she had triggered the resonance of the Great Dao Sect's treasure, the Great Dao Bell, and was likely being watched by Ancestor-level figures.

She knew her value.

She was using the Great Dao Sect, and the Great Dao Sect was also using her!

Thinking of this, Ji Fuyao's gaze shifted, and she looked at Lu Xuan, "For this month, I know how to cultivate! But I also hope you can improve your cultivation! Master!"

The last word "Master" was almost said through gritted teeth.

Lu Xuan was slightly stunned.

What?

How did the disciple start lecturing the master?

This wouldn't do!

Who is the master, and who is the disciple? The hierarchy can't be confused!

But Lu Xuan didn't argue. He was currently in a weak position, but once the system was fully activated, he would make Ji Fuyao realize that choosing him as her master was the best decision of her life!

Not long after.

Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao stepped onto Qingxuan Peak.

Qingxuan Peak was rich in spiritual energy and had beautiful scenery. A waterfall cascaded down from the mountain peak. At this moment, the early sun rose, and under the sunlight, a mist rose from Qingxuan Peak, making it look extremely magnificent.

Ji Fuyao chose a cave for herself and set up some seals and restrictions.

Then she went to Lu Xuan's cave and handed him a jade slip, "This jade slip contains some of my cultivation insights. I know your talent is mediocre, but don't give up. As my master, I hope you will try harder!"

Lu Xuan took the jade slip, speechless.

Was this a reversal of the natural order?

The disciple was guiding the master?

No! No!

Ji Fuyao said, "Master, I'm going to the Great Dao Hall to claim my examination rewards and complete the admission procedures. I hope you will start cultivating."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Alright."

As soon as Ji Fuyao left.

The system's voice slowly sounded.

"Ding! The Invincible Disciple System has been fully loaded!"

Lu Xuan immediately sat up in shock and quickly checked the system!
