"Senior, let’s get to the main topic first, about Sophia’s matter..." Ye Haochuan tentatively asked.
"This matter was indeed caused by , and logically, I should handle the aftermath!" Shentu Fu said cheerfully.
However, the next mont, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he snorted: "But whether I want to handle it or not is my business. I told you to agree to my demands. If you don’t agree, I won’t rescue anyone!"
Oh man, this person’s temper, it always feels kind of weird? Could he have a split personality?
Ye Haochuan felt frustrated, and said with a bitter smile: "Senior, isn’t it unreasonable for us to do things this way..."
Shentu Fu coldly replied: "What is reason? Strength is the greatest reason! I’m just not going to rescue your little sweetheart, what can you do about it? Beat up? You need to have the strength for that!"
Geez, being unreasonable seems to be reasonable for you, huh?
Ye Haochuan felt deeply troubled, yet didn’t know how to retort.
There was one thing Shentu Fu said that was true, even if he doesn’t help, Ye Haochuan could do nothing about it.
At this mont, Shentu Fu’s expression changed again, becoming kindly, and said: "My request isn’t high, as long as you can defeat Ju Yuqu and beco a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence, that’s enough."
"What?" Ye Haochuan was truly a bit surprised, not understanding why Shentu Fu would make such a demand.
Since Half-Mountain Residence is recruiting disciples, naturally, it’s about finding soone with great talent, that’s all.
Ju Yuqu was an excellent candidate, no matter how you look at it, he would be first-rate resource. Forcing Ye Haochuan to beco this disciple felt like there was sothing fishy.
"Could it be, there is so grudge between you and Ju Yuqu?" Ye Haochuan speculated.
Shentu Fu sneered: "I just woke up not long ago, how could I have any grudges with a junior?"
Ye Haochuan thought it made sense too, this guy had been asleep for who knows how many hundreds of years, and only woke up a couple of months ago. Although Ju Yuqu’s posture was great, he wasn’t qualified to provoke soone of Shentu Fu’s level.
"Then why?" Ye Haochuan asked with a peculiar smile, "Could it be that you think my future achievents will surpass his? But if that’s the case, senior brother Guan Shan’s judgnt would’ve given a higher score than him!"
In several competitions, the content of the first test was a person’s aptitude and potential. The higher the score, the greater the future potential. If Half-Mountain Residence really thought he had more potential, they should’ve given him a higher score.
"Regarding that judgnt, you misunderstood. You haven’t undergone Immortal Transformation, so it’s unknown what the foundation of your Immortal Transformation is, which is why Guan Shan didn’t give you a high score. This doesn’t an your Hidden Divine Physique is inferior to Ju Yuqu’s physique."
Shentu Fu explained: "But that’s not the reason I want you to replace Ju Yuqu. If you want to know the answer, once you successfully defeat him, I’ll naturally tell you."
"But, I don’t like becoming anyone’s disciple, it feels too restrictive!" Ye Haochuan said with a bitter smile.
"Why do you think like that?" Shentu Fu asked with so surprise.
Ye Haochuan sneered: "Having a master ans being disciplined. Besides, every ti, you have to bow and salute to the master, it always feels uncomfortable."
"Haha, so that’s what you’re hung up on!" Shentu Fu laughed, "It seems you don’t understand Half-Mountain Residence enough!"
"What do you an?"
"Firstly, Half-Mountain Residence won’t impose much restraint on you, it won’t make you have to do this or that. Furthermore, in Half-Mountain Residence, you won’t have a single master. Or rather, you won’t have just one master!" Shentu Fu explained.
"No master? Yet more than one master?" The more Ye Haochuan listened, the more confused he beca.
Shentu Fu continued to explain: "In Half-Mountain Residence, everyone would be your master. But officially, we are just your senior brothers, and you don’t need to perform kneeling rituals."
"This..."
"Sounds strange, right? Actually, this is indeed a unique way of recruiting disciples in our Half-Mountain Residence. As for why it is so, I won’t explain it now; once you truly beco a junior brother in the Xiao generation, I’ll naturally tell you!" Shentu Fu said mysteriously.
Ye Haochuan frowned slightly, pondering.
At this mont, Shentu Fu’s figure had already scattered into the void. At the sa ti, from the spot where he disappeared, a cold voice ca out.
"If you want to save your little sweetheart, work hard yourself. If you can’t beco a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence, I will never save her, even if you kneel to death in front of !"
Geez, this guy definitely has split personality, sotis sunny, sotis gloomy.
Ye Haochuan complained and thoughtfully walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.
Initially, he just wanted to find Shentu Fu, and hadn’t considered becoming a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence at all. Unexpectedly, Shentu Fu, in so weird frenzy, insisted that he beco a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence before agreeing to save Sophia.
Speaking of which, those previous four competitions, Ye Haochuan truly didn’t find them very aningful; they felt like child’s play. Moreover, the most important among the four competitions had unknowingly ended with Guan Shan’s judgnt.
This kind of competition format was sothing Ye Haochuan encountered for the first ti.
Now there’s only the last round left, and he doesn’t know how many points the last round is worth. He is currently a full nine points behind Ju Yuqu, and if the last round is worth only ten points in total, then there’s no point in competing; it’s simply impossible to win.
Half-Mountain Residence’s competition, the first round total score is one hundred, the second round fifty, the third round thirty, the fourth round twenty, according to this pattern, the fifth round having a total score of only ten seems quite likely.
Damn, isn’t this just ssing with ?
Ye Haochuan was extrely frustrated.
If he had known earlier that Shentu Fu would say this, Ye Haochuan would’ve gone all out in the previous rounds; even if he couldn’t surpass Ju Yuqu, he wouldn’t have let the gap widen so much.
"Now there’s no use thinking about this, whatever happens will depend on tomorrow’s circumstances. If fate is for not to rescue Sophia easily, then I might as well think of another way. I refuse to believe, in such a large Immortal Realm, Shentu Fu is the only one who can save Sophia."
Complaining a bit, Ye Haochuan returned angrily to his place of residence. That night, he didn’t laze around like before and got actively prepared. No matter what happens tomorrow, he intended to face it in the best state.
A night’s ti flew by in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, Ye Haochuan, Ju Yuqu, and Li Qi gathered early downstairs.
Ge Ping, Liu Yifei, Guan Shan, and Su Longyue were also waiting early again.
Seeing Ye Haochuan and the other two standing firmly, Ge Ping lightly coughed and formally said: "The previous competitions, strictly speaking, weren’t competitions, just a simple test of your basic abilities. The real competition begins now..."
