My Master Knows It All

738: Chapter 223_1 738: Chapter 223_1 For mortals, the greatest opportunity to change their fate is when people from the great Immortal Sects come to select disciples.

Not only the people from Hundred Peaks Sect, but also many mortals couldn’t understand what Liao Laosan had said at the time and were completely baffled.

“How could someone forget that?”

“The immortals from Hundred Peaks Sect come to pick disciples only once every ten years.

What could be more important than that!”

“Ten years ago, my wife was giving birth right when I broke my leg working for someone else.

But even with a broken leg, I insisted on taking my child to the selection!”

“You’d have to go even if knives were raining from the sky!”

“What happened to him that he didn’t show up when the immortals from Hundred Peaks Sect were selecting disciples?”

In the midst of the crowd’s endless discussions, a man in the know said disdainfully, “That drunkard, what else could have happened to him?

He simply got drunk and missed it.”

As soon as these words fell, the surrounding crowd burst into incredulous exclamations.

“Impossible!

How could one miss such an opportunity, the once-in-ten-years disciple selection day of Hundred Peaks Sect, just because of drinking!”

“How do you know that.”

“Yes, that was ten years ago.”

When the man heard this, he pointed to himself and said, “Because my family owns the brewery.

Ten years ago, he bought wine from my place, took a pound, and even stole another pound when I wasn’t looking.

I went after him later and he didn’t even admit it!”

Liao Laosan immediately called out indignantly, “Who stole your wine?

You can’t blame me if you lost some!”

No sooner had he spoken than the people around him suddenly realized what had happened.

“He actually went to drink!”

“Because of drinking, he delayed his own daughter’s chance.”

“He’s directly wasted ten years of her life.

If he’d taken his daughter then, she’d surely have been admitted into Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“What kind of father is he!”

Many onlookers who couldn’t bear it even started cursing.

Next to Liao Laosan, her sobs began to emerge as she wiped away her tears; ten years ago on that very day, she was about to give birth and couldn’t possibly take her daughter to the Immortal Sect for disciple selection, so she asked her husband to go in her stead.

She knew her husband didn’t care for their daughter, but she never imagined that he would delay their daughter’s opportunity because of his drunkenness.

She still remembered asking her husband why he reeked of alcohol when he came back, and he said his daughter wasn’t selected, so he bought wine to drown his sorrows.

It turned out he had never even taken their daughter there!

Just like that, their daughter stayed home, her time wasted for ten years, enduring hardship!

As Liao Laosan listened to the crowd reproaching him, his face showed no hint of regret, but was instead filled with anger as he shouted, “You lot know nothing, shut up!

both my daughter and my son will enter into an Immortal Sect, so don’t you dare shout at me!”

He believed that with his daughter’s talent, Hundred Peaks Sect would eventually take in his child.

Hundred Peaks Sect had taken so many of his kids, giving him a bit of money wouldn’t be too much to ask.

If he hadn’t been drunk ten years ago, his daughter would have already entered Hundred Peaks Sect by now.

How could he allow his son to enter an Immortal Sect?

So everything was fate; heaven had decreed that his sons would enter an Immortal Sect!

After shouting at the people around him, Liao Laosan turned to Bei Yan and Mi Lian, urging them, “Enough talking; tell your Sect Leader, if you want to take my daughter as a disciple, you have to take my sons too.”

Mi Lian, nearly unable to restrain himself from blasting Liao Laosan away, looked at Liao Laosan’s smug face.

How could there be such a detestable, irresponsible father in the world!

“I’ve made it very clear to you, your daughter has a chance to become a disciple of the Sect Leader if she joins Hundred Peaks Sect.

Without joining Hundred Peaks Sect, no Immortal Sects in this vicinity will come here to select disciples.

Because of you, your daughter will be delayed again.

You’ve already held her back for ten years.

How much longer do you want to delay her, until she’s completely ruined?”

Liao Laosan, defiant and not worried at all, yelled, “No other Immortal Sects?

Do you think I’m stupid?

After today, my daughter’s talent will definitely become known far and wide, and naturally, other Immortal Sects will come to take my daughter in.

I believe it, and I’ll see which Immortal Sect agrees with me, then let my daughter join them.”

Mi Lian was almost exploding with anger as he said furiously, “Other smaller Immortal Sects?

Those small sects near here…

I don’t mean to look down on them, but what kind of legacy do they have?

Those sects don’t even have a Pill Fusion expert; such sects might not even survive in this chaotic world.

Even if they do survive through these troubled times, what sort of future could your daughter have by joining such a sect?”

“I don’t care; whoever takes my four sons, I’ll let my daughter join their sect,” Liao Laosan said stubbornly, as if he were a pig unafraid of being scalded by boiling water.

“Fine, then you just wait,” Little Beiyan finally interjected, “We’ll see whether the people from those Immortal Sects come first or if the Demon Sect, hearing about such a daughter, comes to you first.

They certainly won’t talk things out with you, and who knows if they will abduct your daughter or simply kill your family right away.
