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.
