At one time, two Elders were both willing to take Zhao Feng as their disciple. But the latter wanted 1st Elder.
1st Elder stood where he was and he didn’t say anything.
Zhao Feng was caught off guard by Hai Yun Master. If Elder Xue took him as a disciple that was fine, but now it was troublesome with Hai Yun Master wanting to take him as a disciple as well.
The latter had a deep smile on his face and Zhao Feng immediately understood what he meant.
Hai Yun Master was giving Zhao Feng ‘a chance’ to join his side like with Bei Moi. Like this, he would crush Lord Guanjun beneath his feet once again. If the latter knew about it, he would definitely spit out blood due to rage.
At the same time, he was forcing Zhao Feng to make a decision.
If Zhao Feng chose Elder Xue, it meant that there was no return. They would be enemies and Hai Yun Master would suppress or dispose of him.
“Hahaha, Brother Hai Yun, you’re interested in Zhao Feng as well? If he’s willing, he can be your disciple.” Elder Xue paused then started laughing.
Zhao Feng thought s***.
The situation wasn’t good!
At this time, he had seen through everything.
1st Elder didn’t want to take a disciple due to a certain reason.
Elder Xue wasn’t sincere.
Hai Yun Master had some tricks up his sleeve.
The most important point was number 2.
Elder Xue suggested taking Zhao Feng as a disciple to calm the atmosphere down and when Hai Yun Master suggested that he would take Zhao Feng as a disciple, he had answered without hesitation.
So Elder Xue couldn’t be trusted. From the point of him taking Sun Yuanhao as a disciple, it meant that he looked at talent heavily.
“If I become a disciple of Elder Xue and becomes enemies with Hai Yun Master, the former might not protect me. On the contrary, he might even dispose of me to have a good relationship with Hai Yun Master.” Zhao Feng soon concluded.
Elder Xue wasn’t trustworthy and he only suggested this to please 1st Elder. If he took Hai Yun Master as his mentor, he would be like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger.
Zhao Feng soon decided:
Change a wish instead of taking either one as his master.
1st Elder was someone who didn’t take disciples simply and he didn’t promise easily. People like that would do all they could when one was recognised by them.
Unfortunately…
Zhao Feng sighed in his heart and he made his choice.
He chose to swap it with another wish, instead of taking Elder Xue or Hai Yun master as his mentor.
This decision caused the other disciples to be stunned. How great an honour was it to have an Elder as your Master?
Xu Ren, Xiao Sun and Lin Fan were all regretful. But they were not Zhao Feng and they couldn’t choose for him.
1st Elders’ eyes glinted and finally spoke: “You forgoing this wish is forcing me to go back on my word. But I’ve vowed to never take a disciple anymore.”
Hearing this, Zhao Feng finally understood. No wonder 1st Elder was silent when he heard Zhao Feng’s wish and both Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master tried to please him.
But no matter how people or the Heavens calculated, Zhao Feng had rejected both and he would rather have another wish.
This meant that no matter whether 1st Elder agreed or not, he was going back on his word.
“You must agree to something if you become my disciple.” 1st Elder continued.
“What is it?”
Zhao Feng didn’t know that the situation would suddenly change.
“Give-up-Lightning-Wind-Palm!” 1st Elder said one word at a time.
Zhao Feng was stunned - why would he want Zhao Feng to give Lightning Wind up?
Why did he choose to not take in any more disciples?
Suddenly, everything clicked.
Zhao Feng remembered what Sister Yuan had said: “Yang Gan had a friend who had trained the Lightning Wind Palm, but later… ”
Back at the gathering, Yang Gan had warned Zhao Feng: Life is more precious than Lightning Wind Palm.
Could it be that Yang Gan was 1st Elder’s disciples? And that his friend was also one, but he had trained the Lightning Wind Palm and died?
“1st Elder, are you Yang Gan’s mentor?” Zhao Feng asked carefully.
Yang Gan was ranked 2nd out of the 10 Core disciples and the second Zhao Feng spoke out, everyone nearby nodded their heads.
1st Elder was silent and his eyes became dim. Zhao Feng caught a tinge of hate and pain from his eyes. It could be imagined that the person who had trained the Lightning Wind Palm was definitely a prodigy, but he had passed away due to this skill.
“Zhao Feng, what’s giving up a skill to become 1st Elders’ disciple?”
At this time, old man Zhang of the Clan Mission Division couldn’t resist coming over and warning him. He was, after all Zhao Feng’s teacher.
“Give up Lightning Wind Palm?”
Zhao Feng’s eyes were full of decisiveness.
How could his will be swayed by others?
