At that moment, Zhou Tianlong said to Liu Yuchen: "You must find a way to inform the other inner sect elders today, and be sure to let them know that the apprenticeship ceremony will be held tomorrow. Only in this way can it be possible to stop Yu Feinan."
Liu Yuchen nodded. At this time, she was also very anxious. If Zhou Tianlong could not worship under the sect leader, the time the two of them would spend together would be greatly reduced, so she had to try her best to stop the great elder Yu Feinan.
Afterwards, Zhou Tianlong left Dongshun Pavilion, while Liu Yuchen hurriedly went to inform several elders living in Dongshun Pavilion.
Early the next morning, Zheng Fei came to Zhou Tianlong's room early to wake him up. Zhou Tianlong came outside the room and saw Zhang Shun, Li Tian and others already waiting here, with a heavy look on their faces.
With strong expressions of joy, it was obvious that they had been looking forward to this apprenticeship ceremony for a long time.
Seeing that all of them were still in the dark, Zhou Tianlong couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Zhou Tianlong shaking his head and sighing, Zheng Fei and others were stunned and hurriedly asked the reason. Zhou Tianlong had no way to explain to them now, so he had to prevaricate casually, and the nine of them came to the discussion hall on the third floor of Zhongxing Pavilion.
At this moment, more than a dozen elders were sitting in the hall, and sitting on the main seat in front of the hall was none other than the Great Elder Yu Feinan.
Zhou Tianlong and the others walked forward, saluted Yu Feinan and the other elders, and then stood in the center of the hall in an orderly manner.
Zhou Tianlong's eyes glanced at the elders on both sides, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a middle-aged man on Yu Feinan's right.
"This figure looks so familiar, where have you seen it before?" Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, and immediately remembered the man in black who was being followed by him that day and was monitoring Dongshun Pavilion.
"It's him! It was too dark that night and the distance was too far, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but his body shape was very similar to this person!" Zhou Tianlong thought secretly in his heart.
"This man is sitting closely to the right hand of the great elder. He must be a confidant of the great elder. It seems that I guessed it right. It was the great elder's idea to monitor Dongshun Pavilion." Zhou Tianlong nodded secretly.
When Zhou Tianlong was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the great elder Yu Feinan in front of him say: "Disciples, first of all, congratulations on officially becoming an inner disciple of the Tianyu Sect. According to the rules of the inner sect, a disciple can enter the inner sect for a month.
A master apprenticeship ceremony will be held later, and each disciple will choose a master from the elders of the inner sect to guide his practice."
"Of course, it does not mean that the elder you choose will definitely accept you. Each of our elders has detailed information about the nine of you. Each elder will also decide whether to accept you based on your information.
!In other words, this is a two-way selection process!”
Immediately, Yu Feinan handed a stack of animal skin papers to an elder and asked him to go down and distribute them to the nine disciples.
Yu Feinan added: "What is being sent to you now is the information of all the elders in the inner sect, including their cultivation, attributes, positions in the inner sect and some major battle deeds. The nine of you must read these information carefully.
Then choose a suitable master for you."
Zhou Tianlong and everyone nodded, and then began to read the information seriously.
"Sure enough, there is no mention of the sect leader!" After looking through all the information, Zhou Tianlong found that there was no introduction about the sect leader in the information, and he understood the great elder's intention even more.
After a long time, Yu Feinan said: "You must have read the information. Well, now you write your favorite master on the animal skin paper, and then we will collect it together. According to each of you's own
The choice, combined with the opinions of the chosen elders, will determine the master of each of you."
Zheng Fei and everyone nodded, picked up the pen and were about to write down the name of their favorite master on the animal skin paper.
Zhou Tianlong held a pen in his hand, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face, and kept scanning towards the door of the hall. Suddenly, Zhou Tianlong raised his head and found that the Great Elder Yu Feinan was staring at him, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, but also a hint of anxiety.
A hint of fanaticism. Yu Feinan knew that as long as Zhou Tianlong made this move, Zhou Tianlong would definitely become his disciple.
Seeing that Zhou Tianlong was reluctant to write, Yu Feinan's face looked a little ugly; and seeing Zhou Tianlong kept looking towards the door of the hall, Yu Feinan's heart was also full of doubts, wondering what Zhou Tianlong was doing.
.
Just as Zhou Tianlong was hesitating, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then someone shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"
Zhou Tianlong looked back and saw about a dozen people outside the door. The leader was an old man in his sixties, and it was this person who had just shouted.
Zhou Tianlong then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "The sect master's people have finally arrived!" Then, Zhou Tianlong turned his head and looked at the great elder Yu Feinan on the throne, and sure enough, he found that his expression changed instantly.
It was extremely gloomy.
The faces of the elders next to Yu Feinan also became extremely ugly, and then they all looked at Yu Feinan, waiting for his instructions.
The dozen elders at the door slowly walked to the center of the hall, looked at Zhou Tianlong and the other nine disciples, and then looked at the great elder Yu Feinan in the main seat, with a hint of anger on their faces.
The old man at the head bowed and saluted: "See you, Great Elder!"
Afterwards, the dozen or so people also bowed and saluted Yu Feinan, but there was a strong hint of coldness in their words.
Yu Feinan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his hands and feet were a little unnatural, and then he waved his hand: "That's it! Elders, please take a seat!"
After the dozen or so elders sat down, the old man at the head clasped his fists at Yu Feinan and said, "May I ask the great elder why you summoned these new disciples here today?"
Yu Feinan's face became increasingly ugly. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I called them here to hold the apprenticeship ceremony!"
"Oh?" The old man's face changed slightly and he said to Yu Feinan, "Why don't we know about this?"
Yu Feinan narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the old man: "What? Didn't the disciple I sent to notify Elder Yuting yesterday notify you?"
The elder named Yu Ting sneered: "What disciple, I didn't see it!"
Yu Feinan cursed: "These bastards are so unlucky in their work, I must punish them when I get back!"
Yu Ting said with a smile: "The great elder doesn't have to be like this. The disciples are still young. They will inevitably make mistakes, so there is no need to make a fuss! What's strange to me is that the disciple who informed me didn't inform me. Could it be that so many elders are also because the disciples didn't inform me?
?"
"This..." Yu Feinan hesitated for a moment, then said: "The one I sent to inform Elder Yuting and the other elders were the same disciples!"
Zhou Tianlong was listening to the conversation between the two people below, and thought to himself: "This elder is so old, but he is talking nonsense here. It is really contemptible!"
When Yu Ting saw that Yu Feinan was talking nonsense, he couldn't help but sneered, and without trying to expose him, he stood up slowly and came to Zheng Fei. He picked up the information introducing the elders of the inner sect from his hand and read it carefully.
stand up.
Seeing Yu Ting looking at the information, Yu Feinan's face became even more ugly, and he hurriedly said to an elder next to him: "The information just distributed to these disciples is not complete. There are still some here. You go down and distribute it to these disciples."
!”
Yu Ting was secretly amused. He also discovered that the original information did not contain the names of more than a dozen of them. He then turned to Yu Feinan and asked: "Great Elder, I just heard you say that the disciples have started to choose.
Master, how come the information distributed is not complete?"
Yu Feinan's face turned red, and then he said: "As I get older, I can't remember some things so clearly!"
Yuting took the supplementary information from Zheng Fei's hand and found that the supplementary information was indeed the names of more than a dozen of them, but there was still no sect leader among them.
"Great Elder, why is there no introduction to the sect master in this information?" Yu Ting asked.
"Oh? There is no sect leader? Is this impossible?" Yu Feinan said with some confusion.
Seeing Yu Feinan acting coquettishly here, Zhou Tianlong felt extremely disgusted. Now he had made up his mind and would not worship Yu Feinan under any circumstances.
Yu Ting's face suddenly sank and he said sternly: "Okay, Great Elder, stop acting! Let me ask you, what are your intentions in holding the apprenticeship ceremony privately while the sect master is in seclusion?"
Seeing that Yu Ting dared to question him openly, Yu Feinan's face turned cold for a moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Elder Yu Ting, according to the rules of the inner sect, this new disciple should hold a apprenticeship ceremony one month after entering the inner sect.
Let’s do the ceremony!”
"That's right!" Yu Ting said: "But the apprenticeship ceremony has always been presided over by the sect master. Now that the sect leader has not left seclusion, the apprenticeship ceremony should be postponed for a while!"
Yu Feinan sneered: "That's nonsense! The rules of the inner sect are not set by the sect master alone. Since the sect master is not here, what if I, as the chief elder of the inner sect, hold a apprenticeship ceremony for the sect master?"
Yu Ting asked sharply: "Even if the great elder presides over the apprenticeship ceremony for the sect leader, there is nothing wrong with that! But why not notify all the elders in the inner sect, and why is there no name of the sect leader in this elder information?"
Before Yu Feinan could speak, Yu Hong beside him said sternly: "Yuting, you'd better understand your own identity. Now that the sect master is gone, the great elder is the head of the inner sect. How dare you speak with such a tone?
The Great Elder is talking, have you lived enough?"
Zheng Fei and the eight others looked at each other in confusion at this time, wondering what was happening in front of them and why the elders of the inner sect were quarreling with each other.
Yu Ting was immediately furious and said to Yu Hong: "You don't know the elders of the inner sect and the sect master behind your back. You held the apprenticeship ceremony privately and deliberately erased the sect master's name from the elder information. What are your intentions?"
