Chapter 827

"How about it? Are you unwilling?"

Zhongli asked softly, but Hengniang was still immersed in the joy of Xiao looking at her.

Huayue hurriedly pushed her and reminded:

"Hengniang, Head Seat Zhongli is asking you a question!"

"Ah!" Hengniang was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground, panicking:

"No, Head Seat Zhongli, it's just... the disciple is too surprised..."

"Hengniang is willing; thank you, Master!"

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Zhongli's eyes, and he nodded, letting her stand beside him.

Hengniang walked over timidly, controlling herself not to look at Xiao; she was afraid she would faint if she couldn't help it.

"Junior sister..."

Shi Man greeted her honestly.

"Greetings, Senior brother."

Hengniang replied obediently, and Shi Man smiled:

"Congratulations, junior sister; in the future, we must work hard to cultivate and not lose face for Master."

"Yes!"

Hengniang didn't pay attention to what Shi Man was saying at all; she only cared that she had been taken into the sect by Zhongli, then...

her distance from Xiao seemed to have gotten closer.

Thinking of this, Hengniang felt beautiful in her heart.

On the other side, Jiang Yan was also curious why Zhongli chose Hengniang.

But...

Ganyu quietly transmitted something to him.

Immediately, Jiang Yan's expression became a bit strange.

He really didn't expect Zhongli to have a hobby of being a matchmaker; could it be that he was from the Tushan Fox clan?

Shaking his head, Jiang Yan didn't think much more about it; if Shushan could make a pair, that would be a good thing.

There were quite a few people above the Inner Sect this time, so Jiang Yan spoke, making Huayue a Dharma Protector Elder of Xiaozhu Peak.

During Shenhe's growth period, Huayue could help with some matters on Xiaozhu Peak.

Immediately, he divided these people into the seven peaks in one breath.

With this, the number of people in the seven peaks surged, and each peak gained many disciples, which was quite a lot of strengthening.

Among them, because there were many Spirit clan people this time, Luoxia Peak, which didn't have many people before, was replenished with many people in one breath.

It seemed that Luoxia Peak was also going to rise.

Soon, the many Inner Sect disciples who joined this time had all been arranged.

Jiang Yan's gaze swept over Lumine and Paimon who were dazed on the other side.

After pondering for a while, he made a decision.

"Lumine, Paimon."

"Sect Master!"

The two hurriedly came to their senses and stepped forward to stand in front of Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at the two with a gentle gaze and said softly:

"How is your cultivation going?"

Although Lumine and Paimon didn't know why Jiang Yan suddenly asked this, they still explained honestly.

Lumine's Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art had already been mastered; it wasn't a simplified version, but the true Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art that Jiang Yan had passed to her.

Besides that, there was the Heavenly Sword Art, which had also made quite a lot of progress.

On Paimon's side, the Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Curse could be considered to have reached a small success, and she was currently learning the Earth-Calming Divine Curse.

Besides that, the Nine Styles of Earthly Fiend Seventy-Two Transformations that Jiang Yan passed to her could also be considered to have had a start.

The progress of the two's cultivation was quite gratifying.

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction and said gloomily:

"Lumine, Paimon, you two have joined Shushan for a while; the progress of your Divine Body development is gratifying, and your cultivation is also single-minded."

"Today, I intend to officially take you as disciples; are you willing?"

With this, everyone was blown away.

Jiang Yan was going to take disciples?

The significance of Jiang Yan taking disciples was different from that of many Head Seats taking disciples.

That was the Sect Master's true disciple; their status in Shushan was even vaguely higher than many Elders.

In the future, they would also have the opportunity to inherit Shushan, although it seemed now that the one to inherit the position of Shushan Sect Master would be Klee.

But the identity of the Sect Master's true disciple was already very noble in itself.

Moreover, those were tangible benefits.

Like Klee, she had Jiang Yan giving her special treatment every day, with spiritual stones, spiritual medicines, pills, and magic treasures piled up like they didn't cost money.

Becoming the Sect Master's true disciple meant that the path of cultivation would be smooth sailing; becoming an immortal was just an initial goal.

Lumine and Paimon didn't seem to have reacted yet, and Jiang Yan wasn't in a hurry; after a while, the two gasped and looked at Jiang Yan in shock.

"Sect Master... wants to take us as disciples?"

"Naturally."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:

"Ever since you joined Shushan, I have been observing you; you are not like Klee, who is still young and possesses a flawless heart of innocence."

"Having experienced a longer period of time, I needed to see if you had a pious heart for cultivation like Klee."

"Now, your efforts have already told me the answer, therefore..."

"Are you willing to take me as your master?"

Immediately, Lumine and Paimon looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

After a moment, they nodded repeatedly.

"Sect Master! The disciple is willing!"

Jiang Yan smiled without saying a word, silently watching the two.

At this time, Lumine finally reacted and looked at Jiang Yan with a bright smile.

"Greetings, Master!"

555. Achieving the status of Sect Master's true disciple, reaching the pinnacle of life

Ever since Klee was taken as a true disciple by Jiang Yan, others felt that Jiang Yan wouldn't continue to take disciples.

But never did they expect that today, Lumine and Paimon were also taken into the sect.

Immediately, many people felt a bit excited in their hearts.

Since he had started this again, didn't that mean...

Jiang Yan actually didn't mind taking a few more disciples?

It was just that the only problem was that, currently, Jiang Yan's targets for taking disciples were all those Divine Body prodigies.

Therefore, the remaining three Divine Bodies became the focus of attention.

Kevin didn't need to be mentioned; even if he wanted to take a master, Jiang Yan wouldn't necessarily take him.

Refining Spirit into Void cultivation could already stand on its own in the current Shushan.

Rather than being a true disciple, it was better to shine and heat up as an Elder.

The remaining people were Kiana and Durandal.

The two looked at Jiang Yan with longing, but unfortunately, Jiang Yan didn't say much.

It seemed he only intended to take Lumine and Paimon.

Although Kiana and Durandal were a bit disappointed, they weren't too sad.

Lumine and Paimon didn't know how long they had been tested; they had just joined, so even if they wanted to take a master, it was still too early.

This news was still quite surprising for Ningguang and Jean and the others.

After all, Lumine was an Honorary Knight of Mondstadt and an Honorary Elder of Liyue.

Lumine and Paimon were almost like conjoined sisters; winning over one was equivalent to having both.
