Please Be Sure to Take Him as Your Disciple

"My Sword Dao Institute agrees."

The Pill Dao Institute seconded this proposal.

"..."

Upon hearing what Deacon Bai, all the outer sect elders spoke up.

Having recruited disciples in the outer sect for so many years, they could tell at a glance that the Little Fatty had poor physique and lacked talent.

As for comprehension and such, there's no need to elaborate.

This kid is clearly eighteen years old, but he's only at the Body Tempering Fifth Layer.

If it weren't for the Dao-Seeking Token in my hand, I wouldn't have been qualified to enter the Dao-Seeking Academy at all.

Upon hearing this, Deacon Bai nodded slightly. "Since everyone has made a unanimous decision, then I, Bai, will send this lad to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute."

If this kid achieves anything in the future, my fellow colleagues, please don't come looking for trouble with me."

"Junior Brother Bai, don't worry, no matter what this kid becomes in the future, we won't bother you."

"Exactly, Chu Feng is just lucky to have gotten both Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, those two treasures."

"That's right, this kid is nowhere near as good as those two."

"..."

The elders discussed among themselves.

The Deacon Bai didn't say much, and turned to walk towards Little Fatty Wang.

He looked at the carefree young man in front of him and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

While eating the pork knuckle, Wang Baole mumbled indistinctly:

"Just one more bite, just one more bite."

Deacon Bai: "..."

The outer sect elders almost burst out laughing at the sight.

They wanted to see what kind of expression Chief Chu would have when he received such a disciple.

The group exchanged glances, then left the External Affairs Institute together.

"Gentlemen, I've discovered that the Miscellaneous Dao Institute is still somewhat useful. At least, good-for-nothings like that Little Fatty will soon be sent Miscellaneous Dao Institute."

"What kind of talk is that? For nearly a hundred years, hasn't the Miscellaneous Dao Institute been nothing more than a dumping ground for useless things?"

"That makes sense. I'm happy today, let's have a drink!"

A moment later.

Deacon Bai led Wang Baole to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

Looking at the quiet mountain before him, Wang Baole subconsciously turned to Deacon Bai and asked, "Sir, is there really an endless supply of pork knuckles here?"

Deacon Bai:???

Why is this kid only thinking about food?

"Of course, after all, this is one of the ten major academies of our Dao Inquiry School."

"But why haven't I seen anyone?"

Wang Baole looked at Deacon Bai with suspicion.

Just then, a melodious piano tune drifted from afar.

"Look, there are people here."

The Deacon Bai said with a smile.

The two then walked in the direction from which the music was coming.

As the Deacon Bai listened to the melodious and pleasant music, he became unconsciously immersed in it.

After walking a dozen or so steps, his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with the music!"

He was a cultivator at the Half-Step Spirit Nurturing Realm, and although he wasn't on guard, he still fell into the illusion created by the music.

This shows just how extraordinary the music was.

If the person playing the zither harbors murderous intent towards me, then wouldn't I be...

Who exactly is playing the piano here?

When did the Miscellaneous Dao Institute acquire a master of the zither?

The Deacon Bai ignored the dazed-looking Little Fatty Wang beside him and continued walking.

Before long, the Deacon Bai saw a woman with an ethereal air wearing an eye patch playing the zither on the cliff.

No, to be precise, that woman was cultivating.

Through the music of her zither, she immersed herself in this world, thereby gaining insight into the cultivation of heaven and earth.

hiss...

The Deacon Bai butler gasped.

What kind of cultivation method does this woman practice? Why have I never heard of it at the Dao-Seeking Academy?

Wait, isn't she the one from the Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties?

After Deacon Bai figured out Qin Qin's identity, he was dumbfounded.

The head of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute took in the courtesans of the Pavilion of Fragrant Beauties as his disciples.

It had long been a laughing stock among the students of the Dao-Seeking Academy.

After all, the spots for disciples at the Dao-Seeking Academy are very precious.

Chu Feng wasted that precious spot just to keep a mistress; he was no different from a complete fool.

But now, Deacon Bai wants to say is, "So it turns out we're the fools."

He did not interrupt Qin Qin's cultivation.

This is a major taboo in the Dao-Seeking Academy and even in the entire cultivation world.

Since we're already here, let's listen to a song and see what's so special about this person.

The song ended.

Deacon Bai couldn't help but praise, "Wonderful! My Martial Niece Qin truly lives up to his reputation as a master of the zither. This piece is a once-in-a-century gem."

Qin Qin stood up and bowed slightly upon seeing the visitor. "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. This disciple has only just begun to learn the basics of Master's art and cannot be considered a master of the zither."

Deacon Bai: "..."

I can't respond to that!

However, being a sociable person, he quickly changed the subject.

"Martial Niece Qin, do you know where Chief Chu is?"

Qin Qin pointed respectfully to the bottom of the cliff and said, "Master is cultivating down there."

In her eyes, a powerful person like her master was cultivating no matter what he did, even though she had seen him fly off a cliff with a fishing rod.

"Cultivation?"

Deacon Bai was taken aback. Wasn't Chief Chu just an ordinary person?

They can even cultivate?

"I trouble you Martial Niece Qin, to lead the way. I have important business with Chief Chu today."

Qin Qin has always been oblivious to everything else, focusing all her attention on cultivation.

She didn't know much about what was happening at the Dao-Seeking Academy, so she naturally didn't dare to be negligent now that a steward had come to her door.

"Please follow me, both of you."

Qin Qin put away her guqin as she spoke.

The Deacon Bai led Wang Baole to the edge of the cliff.

Wang Baole had just snapped out of his reverie from the music and hadn't yet figured out what had happened.

He was grabbed by the collar and thrown off the cliff.

"No! I don't want to die!"

Wang Baole instinctively let out a startled cry, which echoed through the mountains.

At the foot of the cliff, beside the stream in front of the waterfall.

Chu Feng watched as a fish was about to bite the hook, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

Just then, a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out, scaring away the fish in the stream.

"Holy crap, which blind fool scared all my fish away?"

He had barely finished speaking.

Three figures appeared beside him.

Deacon Bai with a helpless expression, "Greetings, Chief Chu."

Qin Qin's expression was respectful. "Disciple greets Master."

Wang Baole patted his chest lightly, still shaken. "I actually survived."

Looking at the three people with different expressions in front of him, Chu Feng felt nothing but helplessness.

Without even thinking, he knew that the pig-like screams he had just heard came from this Little Fatty.

What important business do you have with me?

The Deacon Bai, in a businesslike manner, said, "Reporting to Chief Chu, this young man has come to our Dao Inquiry Dao-Seeking Academy apprenticeship, carrying Dao-Seeking Token. In accordance with the academy's rules, I have brought him to you. Please be sure to accept him as your disciple."

After saying that, he patted Wang Baole on the shoulder. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to Chief Chu."

Wang Baole then came to his senses and bowed to Chu Feng, saying, "Junior Wang Baole greets Senior Chu."
