My Master Knows It All

736: Chapter 222_4 736: Chapter 222_4 As his voice fell, Mi Lian’s face immediately showed a look of astonishment.

This was not his first time venturing out to recruit disciples.

Having had previous experience, he was capable of assisting Bei Yan this time, but he had never encountered someone who dared to set conditions for them.

Even, it was the first time he had heard of mortals, whose children had been chosen, setting conditions for the Immortals.

The bystanders, upon hearing Lao San Liao’s words, widened their eyes in disbelief and looked over in shock.

A few who recognized Lao San Liao even began to cry out.

“Lao San Liao, have you lost your mind?

It’s a blessing for your daughter to be favored by the Immortals, why aren’t you agreeing immediately!”

“Lao San Liao, what’s gotten into you!”

“Just agree quickly!”

Despite the crowd’s words, Lao San Liao remained unmoved.

Pointing to the son he was holding and then gesturing towards his other few sons, he spoke, “If you wish to take my daughter, then you must also take my other four sons with her.”

He wasn’t foolish; he could see that his daughter’s talent must be exceptional, terrifyingly so, or else these Immortals wouldn’t be acting like this.

These Immortals surely must be very eager to have his daughter join the Hundred Peaks Sect.

So now, it was the Immortals who were seeking out his daughter to join the Hundred Peaks Sect, and that naturally meant he could discuss conditions.

But what good was it for his daughter to join the Hundred Peaks Sect?

A daughter would eventually be like water splashed out; besides, how many years would it be before she finished Cultivating at Hundred Peaks Sect and returned?

Across the street from his own house was Zhao Luoguo, whose brother had been selected to join the Hundred Peaks Sect.

According to his father, at first, everyone envied Zhao Luoguo’s family, saying they were sure to prosper.

Back then, they were so poor that they could hardly make ends meet, but after his brother was chosen to become an Immortal, the wealthy families in the city sought out Zhao Luoguo’s father for work, offering him light labor.

Later, as Zhao Luoguo grew up, even being a Luo Guo, matchmakers nearly broke down their door, and he simply found himself a wife.

However, gradually, it’s now been eighty years since Zhao Luoguo’s brother was chosen by the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Zhao Luoguo’s brother never returned, and it’s unknown whether he’s dead or alive.

Zhao Luoguo’s father has long since passed away, and the family that had helped their household lost patience as well.

Zhao Luoguo’s family now lives worse than our own.

There are many such cases; countless people are chosen and then do not return for decades, or even a century.

Their families barely benefit from it.

If his own daughter were to return after a hundred years, not to mention himself, even his sons would be long dead.

What use would her return serve?

Could she recognize those descendants she had never even met?

Even if his daughter’s talent was exceptional, it would still be decades later.

By then, who knows if he would still be alive.

His own sons would certainly have grown up by then; who knew whether his daughter would help her brothers?

Besides, the world was so chaotic now; who knew when the Demon Sect might attack again or when another country’s army might come?

Even if his daughter had children, those children would follow someone else’s family.

What would become of their Liao family?

To continue the family line, they could only rely on sons.

To ensure that his sons could survive and live better, they had to be sent to an Immortal Sect.

Mi Lian was completely stunned.

He had never considered that a mortal would dare negotiate with him like this.

If it were any other mortal, he would have told them to get lost long ago, but Lao San Liao was Liao Youdi’s father, and with a Cultivation Talent like Liao Youdi’s, the Hundred Peaks Sect surely could not miss out.

But still…

Suppressing the anger within him, Mi Lian patiently said, “We truly cannot accept all four of them.

Even if we were to really take them into the sect, they would not immediately join the various peaks.

They would need to enter the Academy and then undergo selection afterward.

Your four children, having no Cultivation Talent, will not be chosen even if they enter the sect.”

Lao San Liao quickly replied, “No problem, no problem.

If they can’t join the peaks, that’s their own lack of capability.

It’s enough for them to be able to enter the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

As long as the children could enter the Hundred Peaks Sect, as long as they could pursue Immortal Cultivation, that would be enough.

Mi Lian slightly furrowed his brow but continued patiently, “Our Hundred Peaks Sect has its rules; we cannot admit those without Cultivation Talent into the sect.”

“Rules are made by people.

Can’t you make an exception, just this once?” Lao San Liao, seeing the other party’s comparatively polite demeanor, felt even more certain of his daughter’s excellent talent.

Otherwise, the other party would have already lost their temper.

But now, they were still explaining things to him, showing they wanted his daughter to join the Hundred Peaks Sect.

As long as there was an explanation, there was a chance to negotiate further.

Seeing the other’s attitude, he had an idea and said, “I know your Hundred Peaks Sect has one hundred peaks, and my daughter might not even join your particular peak, right?

But with my daughter’s talent, you definitely want her to join your peak, don’t you?

I promise, if you admit my four sons into the Hundred Peaks Sect, I will ensure my daughter joins your peak.”

At the side, the other Disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect who had followed Mi Lian down, hearing Lao San Liao’s words, looked at him with disgust filling their eyes.
