Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Chen Wentian kept his word and spent the rest of the afternoon with Bei Yingluo. He guided her in the basics of the demon subduing palms, providing insights that even Zhou Ziyun with her infinite comprehension could not. He watched over her as she practiced the Bei Family Spear techniques, helping correct some minor flaws.

He also helped her with the exercises of the Twelve Meridians Body Tempering even though she didn’t really need it anymore. Her body was already at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm and in as good a condition as any for a breakthrough. He simply wanted an excuse to touch her and Bei Yingluo did not resist. Still, he felt a little hesitancy from her body language and he didn’t take it too far. He was fine with going slow since he wasn’t someone that liked forcing his disciples.

“Yingluo,” He said when they took a break, “The Mind Focusing Realm is about unlocking the brain and evolving it to a higher order. Even Zhou Ziyun had trouble breaking through because she had many things on her mind that were acting as roadblocks. It’s ironic that the more carefree someone is, the easier it is for them because they think less and have fewer things to worry about. As for you, I know your mother and the others made you the clan head. It’s understandable but it requires a lot of responsibility. How do you feel about it?”

“I feel… I don’t know…” She said tentatively, “Some days, I am sad for the clansmen we lost. When I am with my family, I am happy for us that we're able to survive. But I still worry about their future…”

“Hmm, I should visit your family again. I haven’t done so after I brought them here. Let’s go there for dinner?”

Bei Yingluo bowed quickly, “Thank you, master. They will be very pleased. I shall inform them right away so they can prepare.”

At her words, a servant bowed obediently and dashed off to send the message.

Chen Wentian took Bei Yingluo back to the sect. They washed and put on appropriate clothes for a visit to the family. Chen Wentian, in his shadow body, chose a sleek black robe that was both handsome and mysterious. He left his hair casually windswept and paired it with a billowing black cloak.

Bei Yingluo tried her best to dress up on short notice. She did an admirable job, much more than Chen Wentian expected. She was adorned with jewels and makeup that she was able to afford with her substantial allowance. She looked pretty, close to Lin Qingcheng in fact. Her multilayered dress of crimson and yellow even managed to give her an adequate figure. He still preferred her naked form but he had to admit that she looked nice.

He took her around the waist and flew to the Bei Manor on the outskirts of Dragon River Town. He landed directly in the central courtyard where there were many people waiting for him. Her mother, Bei Rongyin, was at the front along with her sister, Bei Mingyu. Her ten clan members stood behind, followed by a gaggle of people he didn’t recognize.

“Welcome, Elder Mo!”

“Welcome, Elder Mo!”

The mother walked forward and gave an elegant bow, “Elder Mo, this one is filled with delight that you have decided to visit our humble home. We have prepared the best for a banquet that is fitting your immortal stature and status. Please, this way.”

Chen Wentian nodded and walked forward, keeping Bei Yingluo at his side, his hand around her waist.

Bei Rongyin’s sharp eyes caught onto the detail and she smiled brightly.

“And these people are?” He asked.

“Oh yes, Elder Mo. Two of our clan members have married recently. The husbands have been residing in the manor and so have their relatives. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course not. Well met, everyone. Relax and enjoy the dinner!”

“Thank you, Lord Immortal!”

They went into the main hall where Chen Wentian and Bei Yingluo sat at the head table. The banquet started as hordes of servants brought in fragrant and colorful dishes one after another. No expense was spared for him even though that money came from Chen Wentian himself.

Chen Wentian didn’t speak much during dinner and mostly observed. He smiled when he was supposed to smile and drank when it was time to drink. Both of the newlywed husbands tried to strike up a conversation with him but he ignored them. They married into the Bei Clan for the benefits that Chen Wentian could bring them. Therefore, he wasn’t interested in dealing with them. Bei Yingluo would be responsible since she was the clan head.

Bei Yingluo’s situation with her family and clan was unique among his disciples. Many were orphans or had lost everyone close to them so they did not have such worries. Ones like Wu Qianyu and the ice sisters only had to worry about themselves. The closest comparison could be Lin Qingcheng and Zhou Ziyun but they still weren’t quite the same.

Lin Qingcheng’s family was small and they did not pressure her for anything. Her parents remained ecstatic at her good fortune. All it took were gifts and few trips home every now and then to keep them satisfied. Zhou Ziyun’s clan on the other hand was a complex organization with both power and ambition. Her people had not suffered a devastating defeat or great losses. They were a large clan that still had their elders, various families, branches, and businesses. The clan would survive even if something unthinkable happened to Zhou Ziyun.

Bei Yingluo’s clan was just a few people with no resources or roots anywhere. They were refugees and everything they had was given by Chen Wentian. Things that were easily given could also be easily taken away. Her people were living the good life but it was not without shadows of worry.

He saw this uncertainty every time her mother looked in their direction. He could almost guess what she was thinking. Since the mother had doubts, she would not doubt transfer them to Bei Yingluo.

Bei Yingluo’s natural talent and aptitude were low. She wasn’t able to deal with the added pressure and stress of the situation and she let it affect her cultivation. For her sake, he couldn’t let this continue.

“Lady Bei Rongyin, Yingluo has told me a lot about your clan and your struggles. I apologize for not paying more attention to the matter after I brought you all here.”

“No, no… how could we ask your immortal self to worry about our small matter!”

“Nevertheless, I want to help.” He said and unfurled a scroll.

On it were written the House of Paradise and the Zhou Clan.

“Due to the sect master’s preference, he only accepts a few female disciples that are the best of the best. However, he is still cognizant of the needs of many. Therefore, the sect has already established a branch sect system. I am willing to allow the Bei Clan to join the House of Paradise and the Zhou Clan as one of the branch sects.”

“Really!” Bei Rongyin cried out.

This was more than she could have hoped for.

Chen Wentian smiled kindly, “Absolutely. The rules for branch sects are simple. They are allowed access to cultivation arts up to a certain level and will be given access to a share of the main sect's resources. They are free to organize among themselves except for a few limitations. The main disciple will be the branch sect master. This fact will never change. Also, the branch sect master may accept disciples but they must also be women. Disciples of the branch sect master have no such limitation and can accept men or women as they please.”

His senses scanned the room as he explained. He felt waves of happiness from the mother, the sister, and the ten female clan members. He also felt strong displeasure from the two husbands but they didn’t dare to speak out.

He smirked inwardly. If those two men wanted to get any benefits from Ten Thousand Flower Valley, they would have to become their wife’s disciple. It was an ignominious situation but it was one of their own doing.

“I hope this arrangement is satisfactory.” He said.

“Yes, yes! I accept… no, we accept!” Bei Rongyin fell to her knees and bowed to the ground.

The rest of the clan members all followed suit to show their gratitude. In one fell swoop, Chen Wentian raised up the Bei Clan from nothingness and gave them an unassailable status, branch sect of an immortal sect! It was a name worth its weight in gold and spiritual crystals!

“Thank you, master!” Bei Yingluo said, her voice tinged with emotion.

“Thank you, Lord Immortal!”

“Thank you, Elder Mo!”

“Mmm, good. I am glad.” He took a swig of wine, “The night is not young. I’m sure everyone is tired as well. I think I shall spend the night here.”

“Of course, master. I shall prepare the master suite.”

Bei Yingluo then helped Chen Wentian up and they left the great hall together.

Bei Ronyin watched the fascinating exchange between the elder and her daughter. Her eyes widened as she realized something. The master suite was Bei Yingluo’s room. Since she invited Elder Mo there without hesitation, it could only mean one thing.

“Good daughter, good daughter…” She muttered under her breath, finally completely satisfied with the turn of events.
