What? I Became a Little Bamboo Peak Disciple? The Peak Masters Were 'Gnashing Their Teeth'!

Daoxuan looked at Shui Yue, equally curious, and could not help asking.

"Junior Sister, what is it you wish to say?"

Hearing this, Shui Yue nodded and spoke calmly with one hand behind her back.

"Our Qingyun Sect has endured for a thousand years. Since the day Ancestor Qingye founded the sect, we have vowed to eliminate evil and uphold the righteous path."

"But now, we cannot even protect a village at our feet. How can we eliminate Evil Spirits and stand upon the righteous path?"

After speaking, Shui Yue turned to look at Su Han, Zhang Xiaofan, and Lin Jingyu.

"After all, the Heavenly Dao favors goodness."

"Therefore, no matter what, we cannot turn a blind eye to the surviving orphans of Caomiao Village or to children who wish to do good and regard eliminating evil and upholding righteousness as their duty."

Upon hearing Shui Yue's words, everyone present became even more confused.

No matter how they looked at it, this did not sound like something Shui Yue would normally say. It might have been somewhat more plausible coming from Tian Buyi.

Still, they nodded, for what Shui Yue said did indeed make a great deal of sense.

Thus, Daoxuan looked at Shui Yue and nodded slightly.

"These two children have suffered bitterly in life, and the other child braved countless dangers to seek out our Qingyun Sect. We truly cannot simply ignore them."

He then sighed softly. "But I have not accepted disciples for many years."

"Which junior brother would be willing to take them into his school?"

The moment Daoxuan finished speaking—

Before anyone else could speak, Shui Yue cupped her hands again and looked at Su Han, who stood below.

"Upon seeing him today, I felt that this young man and I were fated. I intend to take him as my personal disciple."

"What?!"

At Shui Yue's words, the other Peak Masters present were instantly stunned. Even Su Han himself was no exception.

After all, everyone knew that Little Bamboo Peak—

Since its establishment, it had only ever accepted female disciples and had never once accepted a male disciple.

Yet Shui Yue now wished to take Su Han as her disciple?

No matter how they thought about it, everyone found it unbelievable. They could not help being shocked.

At this moment, Su Han's heart was likewise filled with doubts.

He did not understand why Shui Yue would make an exception to take him as her disciple.

As for aptitude, he had not yet plundered any traits that enhanced aptitude, so his talent was completely incomparable to Lin Jingyu's.

As for appearance, Su Han was quite confident in his looks, but in Shui Yue's eyes, he was no more than a child.

Moreover—

Su Han did not think Shui Yue was the sort of woman who judged people by their appearance. It was even more impossible that she would make an exception to accept him as a disciple because of his looks.

"Could it be that Master Shui Yue has discovered something?"

At this thought, a trace of vigilance flashed through Su Han's heart.

However, he did not reveal it. He believed Shui Yue might only have some suspicions, but she definitely had no concrete evidence.

Otherwise, she would never have kept silent about it.

Just then, the other Peak Masters also recovered from their shock.

"Junior Sister Shui Yue, isn't this somewhat inappropriate?"

Daoxuan asked Shui Yue hesitantly.

Though he was the Sect Leader, Shui Yue's status was not low either. She was the Peak Master of a peak, so he naturally had to show her respect.

Thus, he could not force Shui Yue to do anything and could only ask tentatively.

Cang Song, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, and the others beside them also nodded, feeling that this seemed somewhat inappropriate.

"That's right, Junior Sister Shui Yue. Little Bamboo Peak is filled entirely with female disciples. Taking in a male disciple like Su Han so suddenly, isn't that..."

"Senior Brother Zeng is right. It truly is somewhat inappropriate."

However, Shui Yue had already made up her mind. She did not hesitate in the slightest in the face of everyone's persuasion.

No one else knew of Su Han's uniqueness, so naturally they could not place sufficient importance on a disciple with ordinary aptitude like him.

And Shui Yue, who was determined to eliminate evil, uphold righteousness, and protect all living beings, did not wish to wrong an innocent person.

Thus, she felt that the best method was to take Su Han as her disciple and personally keep watch over him.

As for Little Bamboo Peak being filled entirely with female disciples?

In Shui Yue's eyes, Su Han was merely a child right now.

"Whether he has a special constitution or is a spy from the Buddhist Sect, the truth will surely come to light within one or two years at most."

"If he merely has a special constitution, then I can let him leave Little Bamboo Peak without concern and cultivate at another peak."

"But if he truly is a spy sent by the Buddhist Sect..."

At that thought—

Facing the doubts of the other Peak Masters, Shui Yue swept a cold glance over them.

"Did the Ancestor ever establish an explicit sect rule stating that Little Bamboo Peak could not accept male disciples?"

"Although the Ancestor did not establish an explicit sect rule, every previous Peak Master of Little Bamboo Peak clearly stipulated that Little Bamboo Peak could not accept male—"

The moment Shui Yue finished speaking, Cang Song spoke to her.

But before he could finish, Shui Yue interrupted him.

"Since the Ancestor did not explicitly state that Little Bamboo Peak could not accept male disciples, and this was merely a rule set by the previous Peak Masters of Little Bamboo Peak—"

"Then now, I am the Peak Master of Little Bamboo Peak."

"Therefore, I decree that Little Bamboo Peak may accept male disciples."

After saying that—

Shui Yue looked calmly at Cang Song.

"Senior Brother Cang Song, do you have any other objections?"

"This..."

For a moment, Cang Song was rendered speechless.

After all, as long as it was not explicitly restricted by sect rules, everything at Little Bamboo Peak was indeed decided by Shui Yue, its Peak Master.

Seeing this, Daoxuan found it difficult to say anything further. He could tell that his junior sister had already made up her mind.

Moreover, he believed that Shui Yue must have her reasons for doing this.

Thus, Daoxuan hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over. "Junior Brother Cang Song, stand down."

"Since Junior Sister Shui Yue feels she is fated with this disciple named Su Han, let Junior Sister Shui Yue take him into her school."

Hearing Daoxuan say this—

Cang Song, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, and the others could not say anything more. They could only look at Su Han with eyes full of envy.

Their reluctance to let Su Han join Little Bamboo Peak was partly due to the rules, but on the other hand, it was also because of envy.

After all, they had once been young. Back then, which of them had not fantasized about joining Little Bamboo Peak, a peak full of women?

Yet none of them had succeeded.

But now, this disciple named Su Han had done it. How could they not be envious, jealous, and resentful?

Seeing Daoxuan make the final decision, Shui Yue turned to Su Han and asked lightly, "Are you willing to take me as your master?"

Su Han hesitated almost not at all and directly performed the disciple-taking ceremony before Shui Yue.

"This disciple, Su Han, greets Master."

Although Su Han knew that Shui Yue might harbor suspicions about his background or something else, he still agreed without hesitation to become her disciple.

After all, if he refused and ended up outside Shui Yue's watch, then the result would likely be...

Shui Yue was kind, but she was not a saint. Over the years, who knew how many people from the demonic path had died at her hands.

Moreover—

Su Han was actually quite willing to join Little Bamboo Peak.

With such a powerful trait as Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart, he was not worried in the slightest that he would reveal anything unusual.

Since he did not need to worry about his safety, and at the same time...

There was a woman on Little Bamboo Peak whom Su Han had longed for even in his previous life: Lu Xueqi.

In his previous life, Su Han had greatly admired Lu Xueqi, a woman of unwavering loyalty and deep devotion.

"Now that I have joined Little Bamboo Peak—"

"Doesn't that mean Lu Xueqi and I can also be considered... childhood sweethearts?"

Shui Yue did not know what Su Han was thinking. Seeing the joy on his face, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Rise."

Then she turned to Daoxuan.

"Then, Senior Brother, I shall take my disciple and leave first. As for the other two, I have no master-disciple fate with them."

With that, Shui Yue turned directly to Su Han.

"Come. Return to Little Bamboo Peak with your master."
