A Remarkable Man Who Was Both a Hero of the Wilds and an Undead Knight

"The reason is simple: it's because your name is Ye Beixuan."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "The title ' Great Sage Beixuan' sounds particularly pleasing to me. Of course, the most important thing is that you were able to remain calm even when facing the pressure from Chen'er and the other two. This composure is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, Ye Beixuan was extremely shocked. This person in front of him clearly looked no different from an ordinary person, so how could he see through my potential to become a saint at a glance?

Cao Youqian asked with a smile, "Master, do you mean this junior brother has the potential of Great Sage?"

Chu Feng patted Cao Youqian on the shoulder. "Daqian, you can't just say things like that, lest your junior brother get targeted by the Great Terror."

???

Ye Beixuan looked at Chu Feng with a face full of questions. Could it be that this person already knew that he had been reborn and had even experienced the terrifying Holy Tribulation?

Regardless, this life and the previous life have undergone earth-shattering changes, so why not directly become a disciple of this powerful figure before us?

"Disciple Ye Beixuan greets Master."

After saying this, he knelt on the ground and bowed to Chu Feng.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have accepted a disciple. You are rewarded with ten years of cultivation."

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Chu Feng stepped forward and helped Ye Beixuan up.

"From this day forward, you will be my fifth disciple."

"Thank you, Master."

Ye Beixuan slowly stood up. He still felt like he was dreaming, and even doubted whether everything he had experienced in his previous life was just a dream he had in the carriage.

In any case, I must be stronger in this life than in the last, so that I can better protect my family.

Chu Feng said, "Chen'er, the three of you, please introduce yourselves to our junior brother one by one."

"Promise."

After the three responded, they began to introduce themselves.

"My name is Xiao Chen, and I am Master's first disciple."

"My name is Cao Youqian, and I'm your second senior brother."

"Qin Qin is your third senior sister."

After listening to the three people's self-introductions, Ye Beixuan became even more doubtful about life. He had heard the name Xiao Chen in his previous life. Xiao Chen was a former prodigy of the Sword Dao Institute who ruined his future because of a woman and eventually disappeared.

As for the Third Senior Sister, wasn't she the famous courtesan of the Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties in Dao-Seeking City, who was kidnapped by a group of strongmen ten years later?

Just as Ye Beixuan was puzzled, Chu Feng spoke up, "You also have a fourth senior brother, but he went to see a good friend. I'll introduce him to you when he returns."

"Promise."

Ye Beixuan put all the questions in his mind to the back of his mind. Anyway, there was still plenty of time, and he would have plenty of opportunities to find out the truth.

Chu Feng Cao Youqian, who was standing beside him, "Daqian, take your junior brother to the student registration office to complete the enrollment procedures."

Cao Youqian smiled and said, "Master, could we wait a bit? It would be such a pity if we missed the opportunity to have other junior brothers and sisters join the sect."

"You have a point. Then let's wait here for the other disciples to come and take the test."

After finishing his sentence, Chu Feng picked up the novel in his hand again and continued reading.

Cao Youqian took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ye Beixuan, since neither his senior brother nor his third junior sister were talkative.

The enrollment period for this year's Dao-Seeking Academy will last for three days.

On the first day, the Miscellaneous Dao Institute received a disciple from Ye Beixuan.

The next day, no one passed the test. One disciple surnamed Han passed the first test but was rejected because he was not good at running.

This method of accepting disciples completely baffled Ye Beixuan, who had lived two lives. Just who was his master, that he used such a peculiar method to assess his disciples?

On the evening of the third day, Chu Feng was about to have his disciples pack their things and return to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute when he suddenly saw a scholar with a handsome face, carrying a chest on his back, wearing a scholar's cap and a long robe, walking unsteadily toward the registration office of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Thump!

Upon seeing the crowd, the scholar immediately knelt down. "Please, immortal, accept me as your disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng casually lifted the scholar up from a distance. "The fact that you can come here and see me means that we are destined to meet. You only need to answer two questions for me."

Upon hearing this, the scholar's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy. "Please ask, Immortal."

Chu Feng asked, "What's your name?"

The scholar bowed and said, "My surname is Xu, my given name is Wen, and my Caichen."

hiss...

Chu Feng gasped upon hearing the name, muttering, "Xu Caichen, your name is powerful, highlighting your uniqueness. I'll take you in!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Caichen was overjoyed and knelt down, bowing three times to Chu Feng: "Disciple greets Master."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully taken on a disciple and gained five years of cultivation."

Chu Feng helped Xu Caichen up and asked, "Alright, stop with the grand gestures. Tell your teacher why you came to the Dao-Seeking Academy to study, and what strange and unusual things you've encountered along the way."

Xiao Chen and his group of five also cast curious glances at Xu Caichen, after all, for an ordinary person to reach the Dao-Seeking Academy, they would have to go through countless hardships.

The fact that Junior Brother Xu was able to appear at the Dao-Seeking Academy unharmed shows that he has great fortune bestowed upon him, something that most cultivators cannot match.

Xu Caichen asked cautiously, "Master, may I have a sip of water before we talk?"

"Ha ha..."

Chu Feng laughed heartily, "I almost forgot about that. This isn't the place to talk. I'll take you back to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute first."

Before Xu Caichen could react, he saw his master wave his hand, and everything went black before his eyes. When his vision returned, he found himself in a quiet courtyard.

Qin Qin poured Xu Caichen a cup of tea, which Xu Caichen respectfully accepted, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Just call me Senior Sister.

Qin Qin said calmly.

"Yes, Senior Sister."

After Xu Caichen finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp. After drinking the tea, he felt refreshed and as if he had come back to life.

He put down his teacup and slowly began, "This story begins with my marriage to my first wife..."

Half an hour later, Xu Caichen recounted his story in its entirety.

He was originally an ordinary scholar in the Wu Kingdom, the Lin'an City, whose family had a little wealth. One day, while boating on a lake, he met Miss Bai, and the two fell in love and eventually got married.

But their happiness was short-lived. Just as his wife gave birth to their first son, a sudden downpour occurred, and a dragon descended from the sky, snatching away his wife and child. Only then did he realize that his wife was a thousand-year-old white snake with the Dragon Clan blood. Now that her bloodline had awakened, he was going to take her back to the Dragon Palace.

Xu Caichen was unconvinced and wanted to take his wife back, but as an ordinary person, he couldn't find her at all. After many twists and turns, he heard that the Dao-Seeking Academy was a first-class cultivation holy land in the world, and that it taught everyone without discrimination. Even a scholar like him could be admitted to the Dao-Seeking Academy. Therefore, he sold his property and went to the Dao-Seeking Academy to become a disciple and seek the Dao.

On his journey, he passed by a place called Lanruo Temple, where he met his second wife, Xiaozhuo. Even though Xu Caichen discovered that Xiaozhuo was a ghost, he still resolutely decided to stay with her and planned to take her with him to the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy.

However, the Tree Demon Granny of Lanruo Temple discovered this and personally captured the couple. Fortunately, they were rescued by a sword cultivator and were able to escape.

hiss...

After hearing Xu Caichen's description, everyone gasped in astonishment, and their gazes toward their junior brother became filled with even more admiration.

"I never imagined that there could be such a remarkable person in the world, a hero of the common people, and a ghost knight all in one."

After muttering something to himself, Chu Feng smiled and patted Xu Caichen on the shoulder, saying, "Caichen, our Miscellaneous Dao Institute needs talents like you!"
