Li Qiye played around with the Order in his hand and slowly spoke:
“If this Order were to fall into another’s hands, the result would be unimaginable.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the six elders froze. The first elder gazed at him and coldly retorted:
“Even if such a thing happened, anyone who wants to be the prime disciple of our sect has to be tested on all aspects; this ranges from his origin to his background as well as his innate talents. Otherwise, the sect would not allow an unqualified candidate.”
“That is your problem.”
Li Qiye stared at the six elders and said:
“If you think a different sect sent me to steal your Immortal Emperor’s heritage, I would not need to become the prime disciple. By the order of virtue, I can just ask for them, no need to bother becoming the prime disciple. You should know this better than me! If I wanted to harm the sect, with the power of this Order, it would not be a difficult feat.”
Li Qiye’s words made the elders glanced at each other. Even though they were a bit ambivalent, but they didn’t entirely trust Li Qi Ye.
“He is not exactly without reason.”
Elder Cao, one of the six elders slowly responded:
“If the Order keeps on wandering around outside, wouldn’t that be a hidden danger to us? We cannot refuse anyone with the Order. We might as well accept his request.”
“Hmph… This matter cannot be taken lightly!
The first elder coldly replied.
“From the past until now, the prime disciple has always been the head disciple under the sect master. Whether we accept or not, we must ask the sect master’s opinion regarding this decision, then make a choice later.”
Another elder mused the statement.
“Makes sense, in the end the prime disciple would be the direct disciple of the sect master.”
The remaining elders agreed.
“Send a letter to sect master.”
After the six elders debated, the first elder immediately commanded.
The letter arrived to sect master Su Yonghuang just for a little bit, but the six elders immediately received a reply. And the answer was that the sect master allowed for Li Qiye to become the Prime Disciple causing them to be extremely surprised.
“Truly unbelievable! The sect master was too rash!”
First elder read the letter three times, and confirmed that he didn’t misread, and angrily yelled.
“Brother Gu, if the sect master agreed, then why are we still debating? In the end the prime disciple is still the direct disciple of the sect master, and the choice is in the sect master’s hand.”
Elder Cao persuaded with his words.
“Sect master was being too rash,ah.”
Another elder shook his head and sighed.
Elder Cao forcefully smiled:
“So be it, we have no other choice. Ultimately, if we could recover the Order, then we would have done a great service to the sect.”
