"This..."

"Isn't this too generous? Such a treasure, and he just gives it away. Doesn't he know how incredibly valuable this treasure is?"

"Are you kidding? How could Zhao Gongming not know? He understands even better than us."

"But... but why..."

"It's obvious. We've already offended Senior Brother Lin in this matter. If we don't try our best to make amends, we'll make an enemy. Therefore, this might be the best way to compensate."

"But the price is quite high!"

On Golden Ao Island.

The numerous disciples of the Sect of Interception were speechless.

They weren't simpletons. While they cultivated, they understood the basic rules of human interaction.

If they didn't understand these basic social graces, it would be even harder to advance.

However, the shock in their hearts was unavoidable.

At this moment, even Duobao felt that Zhao Gongming's gesture was exceptionally grand.

He was completely stunned!

He specifically glanced at Zhao Gongming.

He noticed that Zhao Gongming's eyes were exceptionally clear at this moment, without any trace of abnormality. This meant that this was not done out of spite.

It was genuinely offered as an apology.

At this moment, Duobao felt envious.

Even as the chief disciple, his own treasures were extremely limited. If he wanted to obtain such a treasure, it would take considerable effort.

But Lin Chuan's actions...

Good Fellow!

He didn't do anything at all and could directly possess such a treasure.

It was beyond expectations!

Lin Chuan also felt a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Zhao Gongming to be so generous, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

Since an apology and compensation had been offered, he might as well accept it!

Without hesitation, he accepted the Sea Calming Divine Pearls.

Zhao Gongming let out a slight sigh of relief. If he had been rejected at this moment, it would have made him even more anxious.

Instead, having the Sea Calming Divine Pearls taken away made him feel a little more at ease.

"My apologies for the offense, please forgive me, Senior Brother!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!"

If it were before, perhaps he might have had a tiny bit of resentment.

Of course, Lin Chuan had never blamed Zhao Gongming too much. He had originally intended to rely on Zhao Gongming to completely break away from the Sect of Interception.

But unexpectedly, he had returned empty-handed.

Now he had even gained the Sea Calming Divine Pearls for nothing.

Alas~

What a sin!

[Corrupt! It seems I've completely fallen into that old scoundrel Tongtian's designed trap. Now even this kind of treasure bombardment has appeared.]

[Alas~]

[Too hateful, truly too hateful!]

[I've gotten rid of the stumbling block, so only this old scoundrel remains.]

Lin Chuan put them away very quickly.

However...

He was completely unaware that Sect Master Tongtian had been watching all along and had suddenly heard his inner thoughts.

Numerous black lines appeared on his forehead.

"This brat is becoming more and more lawless. Whenever something happens, he loves to criticize me."

"Outrageous!"

"Good, you always say I set traps, don't you?"

A hint of malice flashed in Sect Master Tongtian's eyes. He hadn't paid too much attention initially, but being mentioned again and again.

Anyone would remember it deeply.

Let alone Sect Master Tongtian!

"If you don't cultivate those cultivation techniques, let's see how I deal with you!"

"You'll have a hard time, trying to run? Not a chance."

Just as Sect Master Tongtian had initially thought, he hadn't prepared to let him leave, even though a sliver of doubt remained in his heart.

There was a certain amount of suspicion!

But that didn't matter. As the saying goes, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't.

In fact, the credibility was quite high.

As Duobao watched the events unfold and was about to pass judgment, suddenly...

Sect Master Tongtian's voice echoed in his mind.

He then looked at Lin Chuan with some surprise. After all, someone specifically mentioned by his Master had already caught his Master's attention.

One had to know, his Master was a Heavenly Dao Sage.

He held a very noble status and position in the Great Desolation, and generally wouldn't easily concern himself with such worldly matters.

But he never expected...

That he would notice Zhao Gongming.

No!

Duobao Tathagata immediately realized.

He looked at Lin Chuan.

He hadn't reacted just now, but at this moment, he suddenly understood. The reason his Master had suddenly noticed Zhao Gongming was very likely because of this Lin Chuan.

Having suddenly become a Personal Disciple, it meant his Master had paid attention to him.

Now that things had taken a turn.

It had indeed indirectly drawn attention to Zhao Gongming.

Coupled with Zhao Gongming's millions of years of effort, and many contributions.

His strength was also not weak, truly enough to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

After understanding all of this, Duobao Tathagata breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Although the outcome has been decided, at this moment, Senior Brother has an important matter to share with everyone."

"Master above, has seen through everything and clearly knows of Junior Brother Zhao Gongming's contributions, hence this decree."

"From this day forward, Zhao Gongming will be allowed to enter the Inner Sect and become a true Inner Sect Disciple!"

As Duobao's words fell silent.

The scene immediately fell into silence.

If at first, the numerous disciples hadn't reacted, then at this moment, it was absolutely terrifying for them.

This...

He became an Inner Sect Disciple?

My heavens!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhao Gongming was even more stunned, and he kept looking at Duobao, saying, "Chief Disciple Brother... Chief Disciple Brother..."

"Is this true?"

"Of course, it's true. I don't have the audacity to falsely transmit Master's orders. Therefore, Master has already seen your efforts and contributions."

"This is why this order was given."

Duobao said calmly. Although he knew the situation internally, he still had to explain it properly in such circumstances, which could also give some confidence to the numerous Outer Sect Disciples.

At the same time.

He looked around and found that all the Outer Sect Disciples were quite shocked and excited at this moment.

He naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and said, "Master is an omniscient and omnipotent being. All the actions of the disciples can enter Master's eyes."

"Your performance will determine your future achievements."

"Master will definitely treat everyone fairly, just like Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, because of his contributions..."

"This is why he has this opportunity now."

"Everyone, don't forget!"

After Duobao finished speaking, it immediately drew cheers from the numerous Outer Sect Disciples, and everyone was as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Each and every one of them appeared exceptionally excited!

After all, the example was right before their eyes, so how could they not be excited?
