From-DIDIDA Novels
Ye Ping was rather shocked.
When he was cultivating just now, he had already detected an extremely dense spiritual energy.
At first, he didn’t pay much attention to it, but later on, he discovered that the spiritual energy was getting increasingly dense.
Only when he walked out of the Qingyun Dao Sect did he realize that there were a bunch of people gathered there.
Soon, Ye Ping discovered that Li Yu had actually gone to the Qingyun Dao Sect, making Ye Ping even more shocked.
That was the reason he stopped communicating with them and appeared there.
“Master!”
When Li Yu saw Ye Ping, he immediately got excited and hurriedly stood up to bow at Ye Ping.
“Didn’t I say that you don’t need to call me your master since I haven’t accepted you as my disciple?”
Ye Ping hurriedly interjected when Li Yu bowed at him.
It was fine at first. After all, he was alone and Li Yu could address him however he wanted to.
However, now that he had already joined the Qingyun Dao Sect as a trainee disciple, he would be overstepping the rules if the Sect Leader knew that he had accepted a disciple out there.
That wasn’t too serious. If the Sect Leader knew how unreliable he was and kicked him out of the sect, what would happen to him?
So for the sake of his own position, Ye Ping immediately drew the line so that he wouldn’t get involved.
“Master, Grandmaster just said that he would accept me as a disciple. Even if you don’t want to, you should accept me on Grandmaster’s account. Right, Grandmaster?”
Li Yu begged Ye Ping to take him as his disciple.
Even the 800 escort guards were bewildered when they saw that, let alone Daoist Tai Hua.
His Highness, the Crown Prince, actually had to stoop so low as to beg others to accept him as a disciple.
That was outrageous. After all, Li Yu had the power to make any sect in Jin Nation accept him as his disciple.
The Qingyun Dao Sect was faraway and poor. Besides, the so-called disciples of the sect all seemed like good-for-nothings while Ye Ping seemed mysterious too.
“Huh? I… Oh right, Ye Ping, your disciple seems to have good potential. Besides, I think that Li Yu is fated to join the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
Daoist Tai Hua was first stunned. Afterwards, he glanced at the boxes of superior-grade Spirit Stones and bit the bullet to say that.
As soon as he said that, Li Yu immediately said excitedly, “Greetings, Grandmaster and Master.”
He knelt down and bowed to Daoist Tai Hua and Ye Ping, seemingly worried that Ye Ping and Daoist Tai Hua would change their minds.
Seeing this, Ye Ping was somewhat at a loss for words.
However, since the Sect Leader had already promised, he couldn’t say much as a disciple.
However, Ye Ping looked at the boxes on the ground with his eyes full of curiosity.
“Did you bring all these Spirit Stones here?”
Ye Ping asked with some curiosity.
“Yes. Master, I came over in a hurry this time and didn’t know what gifts to prepare, so I got them to bring some Spirit Stones over.”
” I hope you won’t mind me, Master.”
Li Yu nodded.
However, at the next moment, Ye Ping’s expression changed before chastising coldly.
“Fool!”
Li Yu couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Master, why?”
He was a little confused. ‘How am I a fool for bringing gifts over personally?’
“Li Yu, let’s put aside the fact that you’re at least a literati. Even if you’re not, you are looking down on the Qingyun Dao Sect.”
“The Qingyun Dao Sect may seem poor, but in fact, this is just simplicity. What do you mean by bringing these things here? Do you think the Sect Leader cares for these Spirit Stones?”
Ye Ping was a little furious as he reprimanded Li Yu.
In Ye Ping’s eyes, Qingyun Dao Sect was a peerless hidden sect, and if Li Yu brought some hometown specialties instead, Ye Ping wouldn’t say much.
However, what did he mean by bringing Spirit Stones over?
‘Does he think the Qingyun Dao Sect lacks these Spirit Stones?’
It was akin to a person running to the world’s richest person and giving them boxes of silver.
Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
However, after Ye Ping said that, Daoist Tai Hua panicked.
‘We are short of Spirit Stones!’
The Qingyun Dao Sect lacked nothing but Spirit Stones.
‘Ye Ping, what are you doing?’
‘Why are you so fierce to our benefactor?’
‘Who taught you that?’
Not to mention Daoist Tai Hua, even Chen Lingrou and Xu Luochen were anxious too.
Who wouldn’t be enticed by so many Spirit Stones?
After hearing his words, the stunned Li Yu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Before waiting for Daoist Tai Hua to speak, Li Yu hurriedly bowed and said, “Master, I’ve been too presumptuous and ignorant.”
“You guys, bring these things back and tell my father that I’ll go home after some time.”
Li Yu was enlightened.
When he met Ye Ping three years ago, he knew that Ye Ping was not the kind who would bend over backwards for the sake of money as money and material things were like dirt to him.
Well, it actually made sense. Ye Ping was lofty, and hence, the sect he joined probably wouldn’t consist of a bunch of money grubbers.
At the thought of this, Li Yu felt that he was indeed being rather silly.
“Yes!”
The escort soldiers immediately brought the boxes away without any more nonsense.
Daoist Tai Hua suddenly wanted to vomit blood.
There were hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
‘I’ve never seen so much money in my life.’
‘You’re turning it down?’
‘Besides, I really lack money. You’re a defiant disciple!’
Although he felt the pinch, Daoist Tai Hua had to maintain a polite smile on the surface.
He could not show too much agitation. Otherwise, he would suffer a double loss if Li Yu discovered something fishy.
However, at this moment, Li Yu’s voice sounded again.
“Master, Grandmaster, I came this time to invite Master to the Jin Nation Academy.”
Daoist Tai Hua, Xu Luochen, and Chen Lingrou were confused again.
They had been dumbfounded several times today and felt that their brains were not enough for them to process what was going on.
Perhaps Ye Ping did not know what the Jin Nation Academy meant.
However, the three of them were well aware.
The Jin Nation Academy was a supreme academy that was beyond the reach of any sect.
The power of the imperial court was greater than the sects and all obstacles were nothing in the face of the country’s weapons.
On the other hand, the Jin Nation Academy had the most powerful Heart Manual in the entire Jin Nation and all the elders of the sect were popular figures of Jin Nation.
Those who could take hardship would be in Jin Nation Academy.
Those who could become a part of Jin Nation Academy were elites.
One would be superior and dominate Jin Nation as long as they joined Jin Nation Academy.
If there was a disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect who was chosen by the Jin Nation Academy, even the City Lord of Baiyun City would rejoice and throw a huge banquet to celebrate after hearing that news.
However, they didn’t expect Li Yu to pay them a visit this time to invite Ye Ping to the Jin Nation Academy.
He was indeed authoritative, as expected of the Crown Prince of Jin Nation.
Impressive!
However, while they were being excited, Li Yu watched with great anticipation.
Ye Ping frowned and gave a calm answer.
“No, I’m not going!”
‘Yes.’
‘I’m not going.’
‘What should I go to the Jin Nation Academy for?’
‘Isn’t it nice being in the sect?’
“Master, you’re not going?”
Li Yu was puzzled.
He had thought about it and made several predictions, but he never expected Ye Ping to refute so resolutely.
“Why? Is the Jin Nation Academy really that impressive?”
Ye Ping asked.
Li Yu was speechless.
“Li Yu, let me ask you, are there any experts in the Jin Nation Academy? Are there any who can cut through sun, moon, and stars with a single blade of grass?”
Ye Ping continued to ask.
Li Yu answered, “No.”
“Does the Jin Nation Academy have a supreme heart cultivation method?”
Ye Ping asked again.
“No.”
Li Yu shook his head.
In the next moment, Ye Ping humphed coldly and shook his head. He stopped talking to Li Yu and looked at Daoist Tai Hua instead.
“Sect Leader, Senior Brother has taught me the Dao of array formations. I’m going to the rear cliff to comprehend the Dao. Goodbye.”
At this point, Ye Ping bowed to Daoist Tai Hua before turning around to leave.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
