Chapter 1907
"To be chosen by Master Lanxing, these two are truly lucky." Senior Sister Liuli sat on the cloud bed, her fingertips gently stroking the glass pattern on the corner of her sleeve, her eyes full of envy—when she first entered the sect, she also wanted to become a disciple of Lanxing, but unfortunately, she was just a little short of fate.
Cang Xuan Yue and Xuan Hao's expressions darkened. Their fingers gripped the edge of the cloud bed tightly, their knuckles turning white—when they first entered the sect, they too had harbored the idea of becoming disciples of Lan Xing, but were ultimately politely refused due to "incompatible paths." Now, seeing Chen Xuan and the other two so easily gain favor, they couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased.
The Celestial Immortal Lanxing landed in the center of the hall, his green robe brushing the ground without making a sound. He stroked his beard, his gaze falling on Chen Xuan, his smile full of satisfaction: "Little boy Chen Xuan, you have actually fulfilled the three-hundred-year agreement you made back then in just one hundred years, which has exceeded my expectations."
These words struck like a thunderbolt, causing Bai Qianjue, Xuan Hao, and the others to sit up straight instantly.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment—it turned out that Chen Xuan was someone that Uncle Lanxing had long taken a liking to, and had even refused direct guidance, insisting on crossing the void himself to come! His temperament was much more composed than theirs had been back then.
Chen Xuan stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply, his movements respectful yet not servile:
"If it weren't for the arrival of the senior's Dharma form back then, Xuanxiao Star would have been destroyed by the Demon Clan long ago, and my clan and I would not be where we are today. Chen Xuan will never forget this kindness. Since leaving my hometown, I have been following the star map left by the senior. After a hundred years, I have finally lived up to his expectations and found the Sacred Land of Heartless Love."
As he spoke, a faint starlight emanated from his body, a trace of the power of the star array that had permeated the void when he traversed it.
Lan Xing smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Chen Xuan and Qiu Zixian, his tone suddenly becoming solemn: "In that case, would you two be willing to become my disciples?"
Qiu Zixian gazed at Lanxing without the slightest hesitation in her eyes—she had come from afar not only to accompany Chen Xuan, but also to fulfill her own obsession.
Before Chen Xuan could speak, she took a step forward and said in a clear voice, "I have a request that you would be willing to grant, senior. If you would be willing to accept it, I will gladly become your disciple."
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you make demands of Uncle-Master Lanxing! You have some nerve!"
The main hall erupted in chaos. The senior disciples of the Lanxing Sect sat up from their cloud beds, their eyes glaring sharply at Qiu Zixian—they had attended dozens of initiation ceremonies and had never seen anyone dare to haggle when becoming a disciple of a true immortal.
Even the elders around Jue Wuqing frowned slightly, feeling that this girl was too flamboyant.
Lanxing wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Oh? Tell me about it."
Chen Xuan could clearly feel the hostile gazes coming from all directions, like needles pricking his body.
He stepped forward and reached out to firmly grasp Qiu Zixian's hand—the warmth of his palm seeped through her sleeve, silently conveying his stance of "I will face this with you."
Qiu Zixian's fingertips trembled slightly, a warmth spreading through her heart. She looked up to meet Lan Xing's gaze, her tone resolute: "I want to become the Holy Son of the sect—this is the only reason I'm willing to join the Heartless Holy Land. If you can help me achieve this, I will acknowledge you as my master."
“Hiss——”
The sound of people gasping for air echoed throughout the hall.
The new disciple dared to demand the position of Holy Son before even formally becoming a disciple. This was unprecedented in the hundreds of thousands of years of the Heartless Holy Land!
Xu Kong asked, his eyes wide and his mouth agape: "He's insane... This person is truly insane! Isn't he afraid of angering Uncle Lan Xing?"
Gui Jian quietly took a half step back, his eyes darting around, afraid of being caught in the crossfire; Cang Yue gently shook her head, her tone full of helplessness: "I have never seen such an arrogant new disciple."
Chen Xuan knew in his heart that Qiu Zixian was not being unreasonable. She already possessed the combat power of a Saintess. She wanted this position only to save time from fighting with other Saints, so that she could defeat Xia Jiuyou openly and fairly in the Holy Land Ranking Battle a hundred years later, and get rid of her inner demons.
