The numerous disciples of the Sect of Interception felt they saw hope, with an example right before their eyes. The passion in their hearts seemed to ignite in an instant!
Duobao was quite satisfied.
This was the encouragement Outer Sect Disciples needed.
However...
There was one person who was quite dismissive.
Lin Chuan curled his lip.
[Tongtian, this old scoundrel, is truly insidious, always setting traps. Now he's even using these kinds of motivational tactics.]
[Tsk tsk tsk tsk...]
[Fortunately, I've seen through it all long ago. Does he think these methods can buy me over?]
[Only a fool would fall for it!]
Lin Chuan could see at a glance that because the matter had escalated, even though Sect Master Tongtian held a very noble position.
If the details weren't handled.
Sooner or later, it would become a major problem that could shake the towering tree.
Therefore.
He thought of using this as motivation.
And by going with the flow, he made Zhao Gongming an Inner Sect Disciple.
Zhao Gongming already had the qualifications!
Even by the official promotion standards, he was more than qualified, it was just that Zhao Gongming was too unlucky.
Otherwise...
How could he still be just an Outer Sect Disciple?
In the end, this was something that belonged to Zhao Gongming himself. Now, because the matter had escalated, he had no choice but to go with the flow.
As an observer, Lin Chuan saw things with exceptional clarity.
And Sect Master Tongtian was almost jumping out.
Never mind whether he was a Heavenly Dao Sage or not, after being slandered by others again and again, anyone at this moment would carry a trace of dissatisfaction.
Lin Chuan was being a bit too much.
No matter what happened, Sect Master Tongtian was always dragged into it.
"This brat, if I don't show him some color, he really won't know my might. He keeps dragging me into things. Does he really think everything is done for me?"
"I wouldn't be so tasteless. I'm a Heavenly Dao Sage, after all. Why would I personally handle such matters?"
Sect Master Tongtian was extremely disdainful. After all, he was a high and mighty Sage.
He would never easily intervene in such trivial side matters. Wouldn't that lower his prestige?
These were merely Duobao Tathagata's own interpretations, but they were all misunderstood.
Sect Master Tongtian declared that Lin Chuan was dead!
Zhao Gongming gradually recovered from his excited state. After all, he hadn't expected to become an Inner Sect Disciple.
But as his excitement subsided.
Slowly, he also understood why he had the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect!
It wasn't because he was that powerful.
It was even less likely because he had great talent.
After all, there's always someone better.
He now understood this principle profoundly, and before his eyes was a genius even more valued by his Master.
This was a true genius!
What was he compared to that?
Therefore, he was exceptionally clear-headed at this moment, knowing that if it weren't for Lin Chuan, he would absolutely not have achieved this.
And he certainly wouldn't have entered the Inner Sect!
In the end, it was all thanks to Lin Chuan.
Thinking again about how Lin Chuan possessed such strength, while he himself had chosen to remain relatively low-key, Zhao Gongming felt a stir in his heart.
In full view of everyone.
Zhao Gongming immediately knelt on one knee.
"Senior Brother Lin, Junior Brother has offended you before, so Senior Brother has already forgiven me. But if it weren't for this matter, Junior Brother would absolutely not have been able to enter the Inner Sect."
"Being able to enter the Inner Sect is all thanks to Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother swears here to follow Senior Brother. No matter what Senior Brother wants me to do, I will never have any complaints."
"Junior Brother wishes to follow by Senior Brother's side!"
"Please, Senior Brother, grant my request!"
The crowd: "..."
Duobao: "..."
Sect Master Tongtian: "..."
Everyone was dumbfounded on the spot. No one had expected Zhao Gongming to pull off such a move.
It was truly unexpected!
He was, after all, an Inner Sect Disciple, yet he swore allegiance to another person in full view of everyone.
Of course, no one present would deny Lin Chuan's strength. He was a Personal Disciple, and though he had been unknown before, this competition had made it clear to everyone.
He might be low-key, but low-key didn't mean incapable.
Therefore, while Zhao Gongming's action was not problematic in itself, it was still somewhat shocking and surprising to everyone.
"My heavens!"
"Zhao Gongming just became an Inner Sect Disciple, and now he's swearing allegiance to Lin Chuan?"
"The atmosphere was just tense and confrontational, and their relationship was so strained. Now it's completely eased?"
"What else could it be? He's already given the Sea Calming Divine Pearls as compensation. If their conflict isn't resolved now, it would be troublesome."
"No... no..."
"Lin Chuan might not have much of an opinion, after all, he already got the Sea Calming Divine Pearls."
"But... Zhao Gongming, doesn't he want his treasure back?"
The crowd was speechless.
After all, in their eyes, their relationship should have been like oil and water, incompatible. Yet, Zhao Gongming's astonishing move now had truly shocked them!
Perhaps, in Zhao Gongming's view, the treasure was indeed equivalent to an apology, and he had never intended to take it back from the start.
Otherwise, why would he have made such a move?
Therefore, everyone felt extremely shocked.
His gaze flickered between Zhao Gongming and Lin Chuan.
If they were quite surprised by Zhao Gongming's actions, then they truly had to admire Lin Chuan.
If he didn't have some real skills, how could he have made Zhao Gongming completely submit?
Interesting!
Truly formidable!
What's more...
Zhao Gongming's actions caused the many Outer Sect Disciples of the Sect of Interception to re-evaluate their understanding, a subtle change appearing in each of their gazes.
If, at the beginning, they were merely focused on their cultivation, or some even forming cliques, they had never considered such a move.
Lin Chuan had indeed been an unknown before.
But now, he had suddenly become a Personal Disciple, and it was even the Master's direct order. Doesn't that mean the Master thought highly of him?
He was even made a Personal Disciple outside of the usual rules.
Now, if they could firmly latch onto this powerful figure, setting aside whether they could become Inner Sect Disciples, wouldn't they be able to get a slight tilt in resources?
