In the end, Zhou Haoran could only let out a soft sigh.
Although he was quite displeased with Elder Wu’s disregard for Yang Chen, his daughter’s matter was ultimately more important. With that in mind, he could only bow and say, “Please go inside and have a talk.”
Elder Wu and Elder Ming were extremely anxious as they entered the house.
Upon seeing this, Yang Chen shrugged and went back into his residence too.
Regarding the recruitment of Zhou Yunxi, Elder Wu and Elder Ming were still not satisfied. Afterward, sects like the Ming Emperor Sect and the Huangshan Sect came one after another, attempting to recruit Zhou Yunxi.
However, Yang Chen’s side remained dry and barren, with no one paying him any attention.
After three hours, Zhou Haoran seemed to have reached a conclusion regarding his daughter’s situation, which left the disgruntled sects who were unhappy with the outcome to leave in anger.
Yang Chen observed everything with his Divine Soul Detection.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about this matter, but what surprised him was that Zhou Haoran came to appease him after the negotiations were over.
“Master Zhou, please sit,” Yang Chen bowed.
Zhou Haoran forced a smile, then slowly said, “Young friend Yang Chen, I heard about your situation from Elder Wu of the Ziyang Sect. Hmph, what third -tier talent? I think the Ziyang Sect is just looking down on people. You don’t have to worry about it. Hmph, I, Zhou Haoran, am also a third-tier talent, so what? I am still the Family Head of the Zhou family, and I haven’t seen anyone faring worse than me!”
Yang Chen felt somewhat touched. Although Zhou Haoran’s words were blunt and seemingly at odds with him, at least he showed gratitude. He had helped the Zhou family so much, and despite feeling low, Zhou Haoran actually came over to comfort him.
Most of the time, it’s rare to find someone who would lend a hand when you’re down on your luck. Though this comfort may seem worthless, it is worth more than the countless treasures one might receive when one is basking in success.
Yang Chen said gently, “Master Zhou, thank you for your concern. I won’t take these minor setbacks to heart. On the contrary, which power did Miss Yunxi eventually choose? With her first-class talent, she should be very cautious in her choice.”
“After a lot of consideration, I ruled out the Ming Emperor Sect because they had a grudge with you, and as for the Ziyang Sect, I might have been tempted if someone else had come, but I just couldn’t bring myself to like Elder Wu. You saved Yunxi, so if I let Yunxi join these two sects, it would be ignoring your status as her benefactor,” Zhou Haoran grumbled.
If Elder Wu of the Ziyang Sect had known that his mere act of stepping on an insignificant ant would cause his sect to miss out on acquiring a genius, he would likely not know who to cry to.
Zhou Haoran truly had a strange temper.
He had rejected the Ziyang Sect and Ming Emperor Sect simply because of Yang
Chen.
Yang Chen felt slightly embarrassed and said, “Master Zhou, you really don’t have to do this. If you let your decision about Miss Yunxi be influenced by me, it would really weigh on my conscience.”
“Young friend Yang Chen, you don’t need to worry too much. I’ve eliminated these two sects for a reason. Hehe, you saved Yunxi, and you’re her great benefactor. Without your help, Yunxi wouldn’t even be able to participate in the selection competition, let alone make a name for herself. If I let her join the Ziyang Sect or the Ming Emperor Sect, it would be tantamount to disregarding you as her benefactor.”
Zhou Haoran snorted, “I, Zhou Haoran, have been upright and frank since I was a child, and I have a clear conscience in all my actions. I would never do such a thing. Most importantly, these two sects are not suitable for Yunxi.” “Oh? Then which sect did Master Zhou choose?” Yang Chen asked.
“I chose the Yanhua Pool for Yunxi!” Zhou Haoran smiled slightly, “Although Yanhua Pool mainly focuses on cultivating the soul, it’s a sect consisting only of women, as you know. Until now, my daughter has been like a child who never grows up. If she were to go to other sects, with all sorts of people mingling, I would be really worried. By joining Yanhua Pool, she would be surrounded by women. Even if she suffers somewhat, as a father, I can bear it.”
Seeing Zhou Haoran’s deep love for his daughter, Yang Chen bowed and said, “Master Zhou, your idea is right.”
“Huh, someone’s coming! ” Zhou Haoran’s eyebrows raised.
Yang Chen also noticed this.
Immediately, he slowly stood up and used his Divine Soul Detection. The visitors were actually the Huangshan Sect, as well as elders from the Yanhua Pool and two other sects.
Yang Chen recognized both elders as they were the ones who assessed his testing ground.
“Young friend Yang Chen!” Elder Yu from the Huangshan Sect was an elderly man with a long beard and an astute appearance. Upon arriving in front of Yang Chen, he smiled faintly.
Surprisingly, the elder from the Yanhua Pool was a beautiful young beauty. She had an outstanding temperament and a graceful figure, and without a closer look, one would have mistaken her for a young girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. But upon further inspection of her eyes, one could discern her true age, which was inconsistent with her appearance.
This made Yang Chen secretly nod, seemingly confirming that the women in the Yanhua Pool were indeed good at preserving their youth, as the rumors suggested.
With this in mind, Yang Chen respectfully said, “Junior greets the two elders, please come in and have a talk.”
“Hehe, young friend Yang Chen, I assume that you have guessed the reason for our visit. Today, you performed exceptionally well in the assessment grounds, obtaining two top-class results, which indeed amazed everyone. Therefore, on behalf of the Huangshan Sect, after much consideration, we have decided to invite you to join our Huangshan Sect’s Outer Sect for an observation period,” said Elder Yu with a light smile.
“What? Outer Sect?” Zhou Haoran’s eyes widened, obviously feeling somewhat indignant on behalf of Yang Chen.
However, since this matter ultimately concerned Yang Chen, he could not intervene.
Seeing Zhou Haoran’s dissatisfaction, Elder Yu of the Huangshan Sect couldn’t help but sneer; he didn’t know who Zhou Haoran was, but he thought the offer of the Outer Sect was good enough for Yang Chen.
He couldn’t help it.
His attempt to persuade Wang Wu had failed.
He didn’t know how Elder Qian from the Ming Emperor Sect had stumbled upon such luck, but not only did he manage to recruit Wang Wu on the spot, but he even took him on as his direct disciple. What chance did the Huangshan Sect have then? After much deliberation and considering his testing ground, there really were no other suitable candidates. Although Long Yun had second-grade talent, he hadn’t made it to the selection competition.
Yang Chen, however, had entered the selection competition, giving him the chance to enter the Secret Realm and thus possessing some value to the Huangshan Sect.
Unfortunately, Yang Chen’s talent was too weak: being a third-class talent and hurriedly improving his cultivation level through excessive growth. As such, under no circumstances would the Huangshan Sect be willing to recruit him into the Inner Sect. However, he thought that an offer of the Outer Sect should be enough to impress Yang Chen.
Contrary to his expectations, Yang Chen didn’t think the same.
At this moment, Yang Chen slowly said, “Elder, the conditions of the Outer Sect are too high for me, I really cannot afford it..”
