Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1514: Choosing Disciples

Yue Qianrou sat in her chair as she looked at the elders one by one, and most of them seemed interested in the idea of ​​their sect collaborating with the Moonlit Passion Temple. She glanced at Yue Xuelian several times, who seemed eager to realize the cooperation between the two sects.

Yue Qianrou herself was interested in the cooperation between the two sects, as it would bring many benefits to her sect. However, she was concerned about several potential issues that might arise if the two sects cooperated, and she was worried that people from the Moonlit Passion Temple would interfere in their affairs, which would complicate her personal plans.

’Unfortunately, Yue Xuelian is much stronger than me, even though our cultivation is equal.’ The female sect master was unaware of Yue Qianrou’s glances and thoughts toward her, and she preferred to wait for the female elders to consider the possibility of a collaboration between the two sects. ’I must find an opportunity to catch her off guard, and I will take her to that place. I will turn her into a corpse demon like me, and she will feel my suffering all this time. I was trapped in that place because of her, so she caused my suffering, and she had to feel the same suffering as mine.’

After weighing the pros and cons and discussing them with each other, the elders finally reached an agreement on the matter.

Yue Yuling immediately spoke to Yue Xuelian. ”Sect Master, we believe that cooperating with the Moonlit Passion Sect poses no issues, and it will be the best decision we have ever made. After all, they have the support of Empress Huo, and they have many expert cultivators in their respective fields, especially alchemy.”

”Has Qing Qiu’er told you the identity of the disciple she will send to our sect, Sect Master?” Yue Wanxian asked. ”We must ensure that they are not dual cultivators, as this would negatively impact our disciples and tarnish the reputation of our sect, which has been upheld for tens of thousands of years.”

The other female elders also voiced the same opinion, as they did not want the presence of two female disciples from the Moonlit Passion Temple to tarnish the reputation of their sect, and that would be a big problem for them in the future.

”Qing Qiu’er hasn’t told me the identity of the female disciple she will send to our sect, but she should already be aware of the situation in our sect, and she guarantees that they are not dual cultivators.” Yue Xuelian’s answer made the elders wonder about their identities. ”I don’t think you guys need to worry about that because there are many non-dual cultivators in the Moonlit Passion Temple, and I believe that she will keep her word. If she sends dual cultivators to our sect, we have the option of not accepting them, and I will ask them to return to their sect, so our reputation will never be tarnished.”

All the female elders agreed with Yue Xuelian; however, one of them then asked a question. ”Who are the two disciples we will send to the Moonlit Passion Temple, Sect Master? The image of their sect as a dual cultivation sect is still there, and I’m uncertain whether any of the disciples will agree to join it.”

”Do you guys have two suitable candidates for us to send to the Moonlit Passion Temple?” Those female elders immediately thought of several names, but they weren’t sure if they would be willing to join the sect. ”What do you think about Yue Liangyu, Yuling?”

Yue Yuling looked at Yue Xuelian in surprise. ”Do you really want to send Liangyu to the Moonlit Passion Sect, Sect Master?”

”Yes.” Yue Xuelian nodded slightly. ”Princess Tianshi is a guest elder in the sect, and we know that Yue Liangyu has a good relationship with her since they’ve known each other for so long, so I think she’s the right choice. Moreover, she’s been guarding the Moon Tower for a thousand years, so I think it’s time for her to come out from there, and another disciple will take her place.”

Yue Qianrou chimed in. ”Yue Liangyu is one of our senior disciples, and she has a lot of experience compared to other disciples, so I think she is the right choice to join the sect.”

”How about we ask her about this matter first?”

”No need.” Yue Qianrou rejected Yue Yuling’s idea. ”I’ll contact Yue Liangyu and ask her to come see us now, so all you need to do is think of one more disciple to accompany her in joining that sect.”

Yue Yuling looked at Yue Xuelian, but she did not stop Yue Qianrou. Just like her, she felt that Yue Liangyu was the right choice to be their sect’s representative, and she had been guarding the Moon Tower for too long, so it was time for her to get out of there.

Yue Yuling released a disappointed sigh, but she didn’t refute Yue Xuelian and Yue Qianrou because she knew it was pointless. She then remembered someone and suggested a name to them. ”Since you both chose Yue Liangyu as one of our representatives, I think it would be better if we also send Yue Liuxian there, as they are close friends and easier to communicate with.”

”Please summon Yue Liuxian here now, Yuling.”

Yue Yuling nodded slightly and immediately contacted Yue Liuxian, asking her to come meet them as soon as possible. ”Yue Liuxian will arrive in a few minutes.”

”Yue Liangyu has already departed from the Moon Tower, and she will arrive soon,” Yue Qianrou said.

Yue Xuelian nodded to them. ”Let’s wait for them to arrive first.”

Some time later, Yue Liangyu and Yue Liuxian arrived at the venue almost simultaneously. They were confused because Yue Qianrou and Yue Yuling had asked them to come meet them, but the two senior women hadn’t explained anything to them.

Yue Liangyu and Yue Liuxian went to meet Yue Xuelian and the others. ”Sect Master Xuelian! Vice Sect Master Qianrou! Elders.”

”Yue Liangyu, you have guarded the Moon Tower for a thousand years, so I will assign another disciple to replace you.” Yue Liangyu was surprised to hear this decision, as Yue Xuelian made it suddenly without prior discussion with her. ”I have another task for you, and Yue Liuxian will join you in carrying it out.”

”Can you explain to us about the task, Sect Master?”

Yue Xuelian nodded and created a qi screen to show them the changes in the Moonlit Passion Temple. ”Do you both recognize that sect?”

”The Moonlit Passion Sect.”

”Yes.” Yue Xuelian nodded to them. ”Qianrou and I have visited the sect before, and we also talked a lot with Qing Qiu’er. We plan to exchange disciples to become representatives of each sect, and we all agreed to choose the two of you as our representatives.”

Yue Xuelian’s explanation shocked Yue Liangyu and Yue Liuxian, who had always disliked dual cultivators.

”You two don’t need to think about the status of the sect.” Yue Xuelian showed them all the halls in the Moonlit Passion Sect. ”As you both can see, the sect is no longer a dual cultivation sect as it was in the past; it has now transformed into a universal sect.”

Yue Liangyu already knew about the sect’s changes because Tianshi Shengjie had shown her before, but she wasn’t interested in joining the sect due to the large number of dual cultivators there.

Since she hadn’t seen the changes in the Moonlit Passion Temple before, Yue Liuxian was truly astonished by the sect’s transformation, especially the large number of people from all races there. ”Are those women on the screen really demons, Sect Master? Why does the sect accept demons as members?”

”They are demons, but two among them are not ordinary ones, and they are the two princesses of the Celestial Demon Race.” Yue Liuxian stared at Yue Xuelian in shock. ”That sect has completely changed, and they want it to be a paradise for all races to live together. At first, I didn’t believe it either, but I’ve seen the situation there myself, and all races live together in harmony. Moreover, Qing Qiu’er told me that they will severely punish anyone who disturbs harmony there, including killing them.”

Yue Liuxian nodded slightly as her eyes observed the images on the qi screen, and she was quite amazed to see all the races gathered in one place, which was unprecedented.

”Sect Master, what did Qing Qiu’er offer that made you choose to agree with her?” Yue Liangyu was certain Xuelian wouldn’t make such a decision without some sort of benefit.

”Qing Qiu’er will open an alchemy shop in our domain if we cooperate with her sect,” Yue Xuelian’s answer surprised them. ”That sect has nine god alchemists, and no other sect can match them, including the Divine Samsara Sect.”
