Chapter 705: Two Elders Vying

Elder Song Yan took on a powerful disciple, and he was very pleased. Smiling, he helped Ye Liuyun to his feet.

"That Tuoba Qi fellow still has an eye for people, and he wouldn't lightly recommend a disciple to me!"

Elder Song Yan continued: "Besides, I see you're indeed not bad! Not only is your bloodline strong, your strength surpasses Qu Xuefeng's. As soon as you arrive, you can make it onto the Heavenly Pride List—come to think of it, I've picked up a bargain! Hahaha..."

Although Qu Xuefeng felt resentful of Elder Song Yan's comparison, he could not refute the facts. He could only awkwardly smile on the side.

After Elder Song Yan was pleased for a while, he told Ye Liuyun: "Come on, I'll personally take you to complete the registration. By the way, I'll let those old geezers stare in envy!"

"Thank you, Master!" Ye Liuyun hurriedly thanked him.

The Master personally leading a disciple to handle registration amounts to publicly announcing the acceptance of a disciple to the whole sect, showing importance placed on the disciple.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun also fully approved of this newly bowed-to Master in his heart.

Elder Song Yan, taking Ye Liuyun and others out of the house, grabbed him and shot straight up into the sky, flying outward, completely ignoring Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang.

The speed of a Zao Hua Realm expert left Ye Liuyun no time to say goodbye.

The two of them looked at each other, helplessly shook their heads, and walked toward outside the mountain gate.

This is the Elders' residence; the two of them dare not fly, so they can only walk out step by step.

Elder Song Yan, bringing Ye Liuyun to fly to the mountain gate, was intercepted by Elder Qian Feng.

"Elder Qian? Hahaha, I just took on a new disciple—what do you think?" Upon seeing him, Elder Song Yan also began to show off.

"What? Your disciple? You just took a master?" Elder Qian Feng directly asked Ye Liuyun.

"It's like that..." Ye Liuyun was about to explain, but Elder Qian Feng directly cut him off.

"No. Your bowing as a disciple doesn't count—I clearly spotted you first! If you want to take a master, you must first bow to me!" Elder Qian Feng began to unreasonably insist.

After great difficulty he had taken a liking to a disciple, but in an instant someone else snatched him away—of course he felt unbalanced inside.

"Huh? Qian Feng, are you senile? Trying to steal my disciple?" Upon hearing this, Elder Song Yan also became dissatisfied.

Only then did Qian Feng recount what had just happened.

"Hahaha, you really are senile! My disciple clearly never agreed to you, yet you come running to me to play the rascal?"

After Elder Song Yan understood, he became even happier. Someone competing with him for a disciple only proves his eye for talent.

"You're the senile one! Didn't you hear? He only said he was considering it, not refusing. Clearly he was snatched away by you!"

Qian Feng and Song Yan argued until their faces turned red.

Just then, Qu Xuefeng and Qiu Tianyang walked out from behind the mountain.

"I've got witnesses coming!" Qian Feng immediately summoned them to have them testify.

The two of them wore helpless expressions, yet neither dared to offend him, so they stayed silent.

"Hurry up and speak!" Elder Qian Feng, anxious, released his own aura, pressing down on the two of them.

Seeing this, Song Yan also released his aura, blocking Qian Feng.

"What are you doing? You're in the wrong, yet you want to bully a junior? Want to fight? I'll accompany you!"

"Bring it on—do you think I'm afraid of you!" Qian Feng also locked horns with Song Yan; both their auras surged, looking ready to clash.

The intense aura of the Zao Hua Realm forced Ye Liuyun and the others to continually retreat.

When experts of their level fight, it's no casual spar—a casual strike could turn the rear mountain's gate into ruins.

The moment their aura burst forth, many experts rushed over to check whether foreign invaders had attacked.

Seeing that it was the two of them quarreling, not only did no one stop them, but everyone instead gathered to watch the spectacle.

Only when the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect came to inspect did they separate the two.

Ye Liuyun never expected that, over this mere matter of taking a master, it would not only cause the two Elders to quarrel, but also draw out the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect.

The Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect, Xiao Zhenhai, who is also one of the sect's strongest, impatiently said to the two Elders:

"Your combined ages are several hundred years! Last time you fought, you turned this place into ruins! It's only just been repaired—can't you let me have some peace?"

Thus the two began each stating their own reasoning, leaving the Sect Master with a pounding head.

The two, neither yielding, looked ready to fight again.

Finally Xiao Zhenhai could only mediate: "Since you both favor this disciple, I propose an idea—you two teach him together. No rule says a disciple can only have one master."

"Huh, your idea actually seems workable!" Qian Feng felt somewhat moved.

But Song Yan objected. "It's clearly my disciple alone—now he's become a disciple of two people, obviously I'm at a loss!"

Xiao Zhenhai sent him a mental transmission: "You're foolish? It's your disciple who's gaining the advantage—what do you have to complain about? Just let him bear the title of master!"

Song Yan thought it over, also found some sense in it, and seeing Qian Feng's beard‑blowing, glaring expression, he didn't want to fight him either.

"Hmph! Fine, it's a bargain for you! But my disciple must live with me—after all, he bowed to me first as master!"

He ultimately agreed as well, but required Ye Liuyun to cultivate beside him.

"How could that work?" Qian Feng was about to rebut, when the Sect Master sent him a mental transmission: "Wherever he cultivates, it's still practicing the technique you taught him. You've already snatched the master's title—why do you still care where he trains?"

"All right, then I'll yield!" Qian Feng finally made a concession.

Only then did the two of them withdraw their auras, no longer tense and ready to draw swords.

"That brat, still not coming over to bow as a disciple?" Qian Feng hurriedly urged Ye Liuyun to perform the bow, fearing Song Yan might later deny it.

"Just go through the motions of bowing—after all, you're the one gaining the advantage!" Elder Song Yan also sent him a mental transmission at that time.

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect this farce to end like this—overnight he gained two masters.

So he obediently bowed again, acknowledging Qian Feng as his master as well.

"Hahaha! I finally have a disciple too!" Qian Feng then laughed with satisfaction.

Ye Liuyun felt that his smile carried the taste of a successful scheme.

Actually, he also thought Qian Feng had a hint of rascality. After all, Qian Feng also favored him, just as Elder Song Yan said—there's no real harm to him.

"Hmph, you shameless old thing! I'm taking my disciple to handle registration—get out of the way!"

Elder Song Yan said this, grabbed Ye Liuyun, and soared into the sky.

Go, disciple, finish the registration, then come find me again!

Behind them, Qian Feng's triumphant laughter rang out again.
