”Good! Very good! Qiao Zheng, you’re turning against me for a slave, huh? Warning me? Fine!”

Ma Qingshan stared venomously at Qiao Zheng, then turned his fierce gaze to Qin Tian, speaking in a threatening tone, ”You want to protect him, let’s see how long you can keep him safe! Li Yun won’t die in vain, Qin Tian will surely accompany him to the grave! Just you wait!”

After saying this, Ma Qingshan waved his hand and left with the people of the Right Pulse.

Hou Jin stepped forward and said, ”Master, are we just letting this go?”

”Absolutely not! However, Qiao Zheng is the only son of the former Sect Leader, fighting him would give the Great Elders of the Main Vein an excuse. I’ll let him be arrogant. Hmph, it’s just a slave, do I really need a big confrontation to deal with him?”

After speaking, Ma Qingshan looked at Hou Jin and said, ”You people are really embarrassing me. Li Yun lost to a slave, this matter has blown up, and I, Ma Qingshan, don’t know where to put my face!”

”Disciple knows his mistake.”

Reprimanded by Ma Qingshan, Hou Jin could only lower his head in silence. ”Master, rest assured, I, Hou Jin, guarantee that Qin Tian will definitely not live past this year!”

”Hmph, if Li Yun can’t beat Qin Tian, can you? Call your brother Cao Lin to see me!”

”As you command.”

...

After the people of the Right Pulse left, Qiao Wenxuan and Liang Xiaoyu went straight to Qin Tian’s side, looking at him in shock.

Liang Xiaoyu said, ”Qin Tian, did you really kill Li Yun?”

Qin Tian smiled faintly, not answering.

”No way, you’re a slave, can you really be this powerful? Haven’t you tested and found out that you don’t have Cultivation Immortality Talent?”

Liang Xiaoyu’s words hit the key point, and Qiao Zheng, Qiao Wenxuan, and Gao Dazhuang all looked at Qin Tian, curious.

”Qin Tian’s cultivation is at Qi Refining Middle Stage; saying he doesn’t have Cultivation Immortality Talent doesn’t quite add up...” Qiao Wenxuan said puzzledly.

Gao Dazhuang thought for a moment and said, ”Whether or not he has Cultivation Immortality Talent doesn’t matter; anyways, now Qin Tian is one of our Left Pulse’s people. Being able to cultivate immortality is even better, isn’t it?”

After saying this, Gao Dazhuang looked gratefully at Qiao Zheng and said, ”Master, it was wise of you to accept Qin Tian as a disciple. He will surely not disappoint you!”

Qiao Zheng said expressionlessly, ”If I didn’t accept him as a disciple, could he have survived today?”

”I told you last year, didn’t I? In this life, I will never accept another disciple.” Pausing, Qiao Zheng added.

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised.

”I think… I think Master did say that… but...”

Gao Dazhuang remembered Qiao Zheng’s words, immediately frowned and showed a face full of disappointment.

At last year’s Three Veins Martial Competition, Left Pulse didn’t even win the championship of the Qilin Mountain Sect’s Three Veins, not even one person made it to the top eight.

In fact, everyone from Left Pulse, except for Qiao Wenxuan, was eliminated in the first round. Qiao Wenxuan, as Left Pulse’s representative, barely made it to the top sixteen but withdrew from the competition due to severe injuries without playing.

This left Qiao Zheng feeling embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable, so he felt dejected and decided never to recruit disciples again. For future Three Veins Martial Competitions, he’d just send Qiao Wenxuan to go through the motions, without any hope.

”Dad, I think Qin Tian is quite good. You can make an exception to take him under your wing, as he would be a follower without any harm. Anyway, you saved him this time, and rumors might spread about him being your disciple among the Right Pulse and Main Vein. Even if you don’t admit it... I’m afraid you can’t help it.”

Qiao Wenxuan thought for a moment and said.

”Whatever, people from Right Pulse and Main Vein will just ridicule me, Qiao Zheng, as incompetent and cowardly for taking a slave as a disciple. Hmph, I’ll get used to it; I don’t care.”

Qiao Zheng looked helpless and uncomfortable.

Qin Tian remained silent, he gazed at them with a moment of blankness. Finally, he made a decision and said, ”Old man, aren’t disciples of Qilin Mountain Sect divided into Inner Sect disciples and Outer disciples? If you feel embarrassed, you can accept me as an Outer disciple; that might avoid some idle chatter.”

”Inner Sect disciples? Outer disciples? This division is only found in the talent-rich Main Vein. With just a few people in our Left Pulse, why bother dividing Inner and Outer disciples?”

Qiao Zheng looked at Qin Tian and stared for several seconds.

Qin Tian also gazed steadily at him, their eyes met.

Qiao Wenxuan and the other three watched from the side, not knowing what the two were doing.

After a while, Qiao Zheng shrugged his nose and shook his head, saying, ”Forget it, I’m already seen as a useless person within Qilin Mountain Sect; I’ll accept you, Qin Tian, as a disciple. If they want to mock, taunt, I will take it all, whole-heartedly!”

After saying so, Qiao Zheng told Qiao Wenxuan, ”Wenxuan, inform Qin Tian about our Qilin Mountain Sect rules, and from now on, treat Qin Tian as an official Cultivation disciple of our Left Pulse and not as a slave anymore.”

”Okay Dad, thank you.”

”About the apprenticeship ceremony, it’s not necessary. Wenxuan, you don’t need to participate in next year’s Three Veins Martial Competition; our Left Pulse won’t go to be humiliated.”

Qiao Zheng finished speaking ambiguously, then glanced at Qin Tian, turned around, and walked away with heavy steps.

”Master is going to retreat into cultivation to resist poison attacks again... sigh!”

Liang Xiaoyu looked at Qiao Zheng’s back with a sigh, and kept comforting Qiao Wenxuan.

Qiao Wenxuan said helplessly, ”No choice, my dad has been poisoned, and it’s pretty good that he has survived until now. Just let it be.”

Then Qiao Wenxuan looked at Qin Tian and said, ”Junior Brother Qin Tian, you’re now the fourth disciple of our Left Pulse, welcome!”

Liang Xiaoyu and Gao Dazhuang were both overjoyed, dancing with excitement.

Gao Dazhuang said to Qin Tian, ”Qin Tian, you’ve entered the sect and freed yourself from the status of a slave. This is such a great joyous occasion; shouldn’t you cook a delicious feast to reward us? Haha, my demands aren’t high, just ten chicken legs will do, haha...”

”Sure, even a hundred wouldn’t be a problem. Thank you all for the help, I will definitely train hard in the future, and never let Master down, nor disappoint the Left Pulse of Qilin Mountain Sect.” Qin Tian nodded and smiled as he said this.

Qiao Wenxuan said, ”Don’t talk about disappointment or not, just live well and don’t let yourself down.”

”Thank you for the advice from Senior Sister.” Qin Tian smiled.

Afterwards, Qiao Wenxuan, Gao Dazhuang, and Liang Xiaoyu showed Qin Tian around the cultivation sites and Spirit Grass planting locations of the Left Pulse.

Along the way, Qiao Wenxuan also explained various rules of Qilin Mountain Sect to Qin Tian, especially emphasizing the ”Three Veins Martial Competition” that occurs every two years at Qilin Mountain.

The so-called ”Three Veins Martial Competition” is where disciples of the three major veins at Qilin Mountain Sect are selected to compete in a grand contest at the Main Vein, a total of thirty-two people from the three veins are selected.

Of course, since Left Pulse simply has no one, everyone unanimously agreed that all disciples of the Left Pulse, as long as they are under thirty, may participate.

The remaining slots are divided between the Main Vein and the Right Pulse.

In such competitions, anyone entering the top eight receives various Cultivation Immortality Resources and Cultivation Secret Manual rewards, especially the champion; the reward is often an extremely valuable Cultivation Magical Artifact considered a treasure by the sect!
