When the woman in the white gauze dress spoke, the faces of the nine elders turned sowhat unsightly.
One of the elders imdiately voiced his dissatisfaction, "Sect Master, this young man’s origins are unknown, and he is extrely arrogant. People like him, no matter how talented, cannot be accepted by our Sect!"
"Indeed. Even with the Heavenly chanism Token, what of it? At most, we can offer him the title of a True Disciple. For the position of Chief Disciple, young ’Zhuge Xiye’ had to sacrifice so much to obtain it. How can it be granted to this smooth-faced kid so easily?"
"Yes, how can we relinquish the seat of Chief Disciple? Wouldn’t that dishearten all the other disciples of the Sect? Moreover, I’ve just received a transmission from a disciple, saying the youth with the mark is indeed this boy from the Heavenly Road, and within his body flows the Emperor Sword Bloodline!
In our Heavenly chanism Sect, anyone with the surna Zhou is strictly scrutinized, and those with the Emperor Sword Bloodline are expelled regardless of their talent! Could it be that the Sect Master has forgotten this?"
A few elders beca indignant, clearly displeased with the Sect Master’s actions.
Zhou Yan originally listened to their objections with indifference.
After all, Zhou Yan’s identity qualified him to be the ancestor of everyone in the Heavenly chanism Sect, and being a disciple was already a concession.
Moreover, by becoming this disciple, Zhou Yan also had the intention of restoring the Qi Fortune of the Heavenly chanism Sect, while nurturing the power of the Sect.
For the Heavenly chanism, after all, is the core of the rules.
Hence, the position of Chief Disciple is extrely important.
However, it seed there was more to the situation.
Zhou Yan thought, and saw the gaze of the woman in the white dress had turned toward him.
"Is your surna Zhou?"
"Yes."
"Your na is ’Zhou Yan’, and when your blood was tested, the golden Heavenly chanism Soul Stone almost exploded?"
"It did."
"Where did you get your ’Heavenly chanism Token’?"
"The black-robed elder gave it to before you all."
"Besides the token, what else did he do?"
"He invited for a couple of drinks."
"What--"
At this mont, not only did the white-clad girl, but the other nine elders also showed a sudden change in their expressions.
"It seems we must resign ourselves, poor Xiye child."
"That poor child--"
"Alas--"
The nine elders no longer opposed it, but rather treated Zhou Yan as if he had committed a heinous act, essentially ignoring him.
Although the thirty-three-layer Heavenly Road was astonishing, now it seed to have touched their reverse scale, leaving them extrely displeased.
In such a situation, Zhou Yan observed all the elders’ reactions.
However, he did not care.
Things that are uncomfortable will eventually beco comfortable soday.
Unsettling matters will, one day, be satisfactory.
With Zhou Yan’s temperant, he could never compromise blindly. After all, being a disciple was already a significant compromise for him.
But this situation, no one else understood.
"In three days, after paying homage to the Heavenly chanism Saint Ancestor, you shall be the Senior Brother, practically the first among disciples, like a protector, elder, and half the Sect Leader. Cherish this position well."
One elder, with a gloomy expression, spoke unhappily.
His words were cold, carrying a woman’s scornful resentnt.
Zhou Yan retorted, "No need for three days, just pay homage later. The Heavenly chanism Saint Ancestor? It’s no harm to pay respects sooner."
Zhou Yan’s tone was calm and tranquil.
But in the ears of the nine elders, such a tone seed extrely arrogant and blasphemous.
"It seems you’re talented, but when your information is announced, many Direct Disciples may be disgruntled, so why not--"
"Is it a fight you want? I don’t do fights, but I do kill."
Zhou Yan interrupted the elder.
From the elder’s deanor, Zhou Yan understood his hostility.
But Zhou Yan didn’t care.
The elder, seeing Zhou Yan’s arrogance, was infuriated and regretted the Sect Master’s choice of such a person as Chief Senior Brother.
Nonetheless, he knew the matter was beyond control, as the Heavenly chanism Token clearly carried an irresistible will.
"You? Killing people, do you consider the Heavenly chanism Sect all waste?"
A relatively young elder couldn’t hold back any longer, almost roaring.
His words were neither cold nor warm.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Right now, the Heavenly chanism Sect is indeed sowhat wasteful; many geniuses from the Holy Land’s disciples dare to bully us. If that’s not wasteful, what is?"
Zhou Yan’s arrogant tone and indifferent attitude exacerbated the elders’ discontent.
However, Zhou Yan did not need to please them; their thoughts were none of his concern.
The woman in the white dress, who was the Sect Master, sighed and said, "Zhou Yan, the Fifth Elder is correct. Announcing today will bring you many troubles. It would be better to wait for information to spread, then pay respects to the Heavenly chanism Saint Ancestor in three days so that they might accept it better."
"anwhile, I will also have a talk with Zhuge Xiye to ease her mind."
"Although she would surely comply with my arrangent, I fear for the turmoil in her heart."
"There is one more thing, which is another reason for our opposition. In our Heavenly chanism Sect, there are first-ranked female and male disciples, but usually, only one disciple takes the responsibility. Now that you are first, it aligns with the Heavenly chanism Yin Yang Saint Son rule.
The Sect’s Holy Daughter is actually Xiye, and now that you’re the Senior Brother, you assu the position of Heavenly chanism Saint Son."
"Now, do you see why the nine elders are dissatisfied? They believe your ability and character are unworthy of Xiye’s lifelong trust!"
The woman in the white dress smiled wryly as she explained.
Zhou Yan was taken aback, then said in surprise, "Rules are dead, people are alive. These rules can be completely changed."
"How dare you! The rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed!"
"Old man, stop spitting everywhere, or if I get angry, the consequences will be serious."
Zhou Yan glanced at the Elder who was almost charging at him and wasn’t in a good mood.
His arrogant attitude almost made the Elder so angry he wanted to vomit blood.
Where did this wild brat co from, so arrogant as to reach the heavens. Isn’t it just because he passed the thirty-third level of the Path of Heavenly chanism?
Thinking of the Path of Heavenly chanism, the Elder’s expression was rather uncertain as he himself had also passed through it. Rembering the difficulties ahead, all his anger faded away.
This guy really did have the capital to speak like this.
Such an intangible frustration was understandably exasperating.
The female Sect Master in the white gauzy dress sighed and said, "Zhou Yan, Elders are still Elders, even if you’ve beco the Senior Brother, the Heavenly chanism Saint Son, you should have a little respect."
"Respect? Talking like this is really respecting him!"
Zhou Yan earnestly said.
This was the truth.
The Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, saying a word to any ordinary life form, is already giving them face.
However, Zhou Yan also knew that tis had changed.
But so ways of dealing with people indeed needed to be adjusted.
In fact, Zhou Yan knew he was already being very low-key, but in others’ eyes, he was just arrogant, domineering, and even narcissistic.
Zhou Yan’s words made the female Sect Master in the white gauzy dress smile wryly but ultimately sowhat disappointedly did not say more.
"Alright, I’ll be more mindful in the future."
Zhou Yan thought, as an Ancestor, why make things difficult for these juniors?
Thinking this, his heart was much more at peace.
If the nine Elders knew what Zhou Yan was thinking, they’d most likely be so angry they would vomit blood.
"Well, since the Heavenly chanism Token is in your hands, your status is already fixed, unchangeable, we can only recognize it. Just hope you’re not ruthless and domineering in front of yours and beco a coward in front of outsiders."
The Elder who was extrely harsh towards Zhou Yan couldn’t help but sigh and said.
"In front of outsiders? I’ll let them know whether my eggs are soft!"
Zhou Yan coldly said.
Even the female Heavenly chanism Sect Master blushed at these words.
Vulgar!
Crude!
Arrogant!
Presumptuous!
No realm!
Still extrely conceited!
Where did this oddball co from?
The Third Elder was really irresponsible, wasn’t he?
The state of mind of the Sect Master in the white gauzy dress was already very good, and at this mont she almost exploded.
She suppressed her fluctuating emotions, took a deep breath, cald herself, and said, "Let’s gather in the battlefield of the Heavenly chanism at Tianji Mountain in two hours."
"You can leave now."
The female Sect Master said coldly.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Where should I go?"
"The sect is so big, go wherever you want."
"But, don’t assault any female disciples, and don’t do any peeping or spying on female disciples’ privacy, otherwise, even with the Heavenly chanism Soul Order, we won’t treat you kindly!"
The female Sect Master said icily.
Zhou Yan was quite speechless, nodded, and said, "These female disciples, even if you sent them to , I wouldn’t bother looking at them, what’s there to see? In my eyes, they are just vulgar dust and sponges."
"You—"
The female Sect Master was also very angry, this Zhou Yan, too arrogant!
The disciples accepted by the Heavenly chanism Sect, their appearances were the ultimate selections, yet in his eyes, they were so unworthy?
What kind of existence would fit his eyes?
"Hope it really is so!"
The female Sect Master snorted coldly, not wanting to say more.
Zhou Yan nodded, then turned and walked towards the ancestral hall.
"Stop! Where are you going? That’s the Holy Venerable Ancestral Hall area, how can you just enter?"
A thunderous voice bood, Zhou Yan rubbed his ears and said, "Didn’t you say I could go anywhere?"
"You—"
That Elder almost spewed a mouthful of old blood.
He gave Zhou Yan a fierce glare and said, "Here and so Forbidden Lands cannot be visited, later it will be announced to the world, do you think this is a ga?"
Zhou Yan nodded, too lazy to say more lest he provoke these fragile juniors.
"Forget it, I’ll let Xi Ye accompany you for a while. In the anti, communicate everything to her, you, have a proper exchange."
The woman in the white gauzy dress was silent for a mont, sighed, seemingly quite troubled by Zhou Yan’s issues.
