"What? He called me uncle? What happened?" Seeing Ouyang Hao's strange behavior, I couldn't help but take a step back. At the same time, I turned my body to face him from the side, avoiding this bow.
I really can’t afford it until things are figured out!
However, I had just moved my position when I heard several greetings coming from the side...
"Congratulations to Master Dongfang!"
"Congratulations to Master Dongfang!"
"Uncle Dongfang is riding the wind today. If something bothers him today, I hope he can help me!"
"Uncle Dongfang is invincible, I admire you! Congratulations to me today!"
"Uncle Dongfang, my previous words were very offensive, please forgive me!"
However, Wang Lin and other other sect masters bowed down one after another, and they all called me by the name of master uncle.
"Fellow sect masters and seniors, why are you doing this? You are destroying Dongfang Tian!" There were so many of them this time that I couldn't avoid them, so in the end I had no choice but to go back one by one.
However, as I bowed down, their posture became even lower.
So for the rest of the day, it seemed like we were trying to compete with each other to have a lower attitude, which I wasn't used to.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and asked: "What happened? How can Dongfang Tian be so virtuous and capable that all the seniors should respect me as my uncle? How can I bear the burden of everyone worshiping me again and again?"
"
When the problem came up, the scene suddenly became awkward. Everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, as if they didn't hear my voice.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I suddenly became very angry. I pointed at Ouyang Hao and asked, "Master Ouyang, what happened? I hope you can tell me something!"
The reason why I chose him was because he was the first to call out "Uncle Master" just now, which caused me a series of subsequent troubles.
But now no one wants to say anything, and even the instigator like him is keeping silent. How can I bear it?
Now that he was directly named by me, Ouyang Hao finally stopped avoiding and could only take a step forward, trying to get closer to me.
"Uncle Dongfang doesn't know that you have been accepted as a closed disciple by the Supreme Elder of my academy!" he said.
Then he thought about it and added: "The letter just now is from the Supreme Elder. He has informed all the senior managers of the academy about this matter, and we are the last to receive this information!"
"Oh——" After hearing what he said, most of my doubts disappeared.
Although we don't know who the Supreme Elder is, judging from the performance of Ouyang Hao and other sect leaders, his cultivation and status in Qitian Academy must be quite high.
He is the kind of person with absolute real power who can even determine the development direction of the academy to a certain extent.
"I didn't expect that I would be the disciple of the Supreme Elder..." I thought, feeling happy in my heart.
He almost blurted out and asked: "How many Supreme Elders are there in our academy? What kind of cultivation are they? Are they powerful?"
Since I am still looking at Ouyang Hao, this question can only be answered by him.
Ouyang Hao suddenly said with a bitter face: "The Supreme Elder has something in his heart. We can't say anything about him. He will send someone to contact you after the newcomers' induction is completely over."
"At that time, if Uncle Dongfang has any questions, feel free to ask them!" After saying this, Ouyang Hao bowed again, quickly took a step back, and returned to the center of the sect masters.
Judging from his position, he was even further back, not too far away from me, but definitely not close.
Apparently he was afraid of being asked by me, so he avoided it for the time being!
This made me very unhappy. I thought, why don't you just ask a few questions? Why are you avoiding me like this?
At this time, the faces of all the sect masters were extremely exciting, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the shock caused by the huge change in my identity.
"I really didn't expect it! We came to fight for Dongfangtian with great joy, but in the end we were interfered with by the Supreme Elder. Now you have become our uncle!"
Huang Yi shook his head with a bitter look on his face, and finally said helplessly.
As expected, he was the leader of the Yi Sect, and he was objective enough in his behavior. He was the first person besides Ouyang Hao to take the initiative to talk to me and try to ease the awkward atmosphere.
As he spoke, everyone became more lively. Although everyone was a little embarrassed when talking due to my sudden change in identity, overall it was much better.
"Actually, you don't have to be so polite! Although I have become the Supreme Elder's disciple for no reason, I am much younger than everyone else in terms of age and training time. I am a complete junior."
"I'm not used to people calling me that!"
"Just call me Dongfang, or Xiaotian like you just did! Even Dongfangtian is fine!" I laughed, thinking that I did a great job.
However, their reaction once again made me dumbfounded.
Almost as soon as I finished speaking, Ouyang Hao, Wang Lin, Fang Fei, Huang Yi, Boya and Sima Changfeng all responded at the same time.
"I got it, Uncle Dongfang!" They said almost in unison, as if they didn't listen to what I just said, and they shocked me.
I understand that it is obviously impossible to expect them to change in a short time, and it may not even be possible in this lifetime.
And each place has its own unique ecological environment and code of conduct. Obviously, the Confucian Qitian Academy cannot escape from this normality.
"So, who can tell me which door I have entered now?"
Since the identity of the Supreme Elder is unknown for the time being, I can only make insinuations from other directions.
I thought it was very simple. After all, according to the rules of the academy, a person can only and must choose one course to join.
So, if I now know which sect I belong to, then I can naturally determine the general scope of the Taishang Elder's identity and prepare for my meeting with him soon.
It would be a big embarrassment if you don’t know everything when you ask questions!
However, I didn't expect that I couldn't get the answer to such a simple question in the first time.
Several of their sect leaders actually discussed it directly in front of me, and finally left it to Sima Changfeng to answer.
He bowed to me very respectfully and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Uncle Dongfang! After some discussion, and combined with the contents of the Supreme Elder's letter just now, we concluded that your previous goal has been achieved!"
"Have I achieved my goal? What goal?" I asked.
But the moment he blurted out his words, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Sima Changfeng in disbelief.
Seeing my expression, he nodded very seriously... (To be continued)
