Chapter 270: One More
"You object?"
Mo Xiu glanced at Lei Zhen, "What's the use of your objection? This is our personal matter; how can you object it?"
After finishing speaking, he shifted his gaze to look at Gongsun Zhi, "Get up, and also, you can choose the meeting gift I promised."
"Thank you, Master."
Gongsun Zhi got up, glanced at the twenty or thirty swords in front of her, then reached out for two swords. One was a cyan sword, and the other was a scarlet sword.
"Master, I want these two," Gongsun Zhi said to Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu nodded lightly before he waved his hand, and the other swords placed in front of Gongsun Zhi disappeared.
Gongsun Zhi put away the two swords and immediately started to walk towards Mo Xiu.
At this moment, Lei Zhen flickered over and appeared in front of Gongsun Zhi.
"Elder Lei," Gongsun Zhi was stunned.
Lei Zhen took a deep breath and said in a slightly threatening way, "Little girl of the Gongsun Family, you can think about it. Mo Xiu is from the Seraphic Sword Sect, and technically speaking, he is not an elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect. With him as your teacher, not to mention that you cannot get the Gongsun Family out of the predicament. Maybe one day, you may not be able to save your life. It is not too late to transfer to my side, otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you in the future."
Gongsun Zhi didn't say anything, she just looked at Mo Xiu. The meaning was obvious. She had decided to worship Mo Xiu as her teacher, and would not change her mind because of Lei Zhen's words.
Mo Xiu understood the meaning in Gongsun Zhi's eyes and immediately said, "Elder Lei, your worry is unnecessary. Instead of worrying about these messy things, I think you might as well see if there are other disciples you like. But don't pressure yourself or you might go home empty-handed."
"Mo Xiu, you are too impudent!"
Lei Zhen snorted coldly, then turned to Mo Xiu to settle the accounts.
However, the elders present didn't want the two to have a conflict.
Seeing that Lei Zhen was about to do something, they quickly made a posture of blocking.
When Lei Zhen saw this, he could only look over hatefully.
The hand holding the scabbard also rattled. The Thunderbolt Sword in his hand seemed to be unable to endure it, but he still endured it.
It took a long time before he snorted coldly, "Mo Xiu, you are very good. You dare to oppose me in front of everyone. Sooner or later, I will let you die miserably!"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Gongsun Zhi again, and said in an equally unkind tone, "Gongsun Zhi, don't think that after refusing to worship me as your teacher, you can rest comfortably. Soon, I will make you regret it!"
Mo Xiu didn't take Lei Zhen's cruel words to heart at all. After hearing this, he calmly said with a smile, "You can try it. I will see how you let me die."
Gongsun Zhi was a little frightened by Lei Zhen's ruthless words, but seeing Mo Xiu so strong, she felt relieved.
Lei Zhen came to accept Gongsun Zhi as his disciple, but now, Gongsun Zhi was snatched by Mo Xiu. This was equivalent to being slapped in the face by Mo Xiu.
Under such circumstances, he would naturally not stay here anymore. Otherwise, it would only increase embarrassment.
He glanced at the elders, and said with a gloomy expression, "I'm leaving first. Farewell!"
After speaking, he turned into a stream of light and rose into the sky.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
Many of the elders looked at Mo Xiu.
They had different thoughts, some were wary, some admired, and some even wanted to befriend Mo Xiu. But no one said anything at this time. It was simply not suitable to do so.
Mo Xiu didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes. He waved to Gongsun Zhi and motioned to Gongsun Zhi to come behind him.
Gongsun Zhi went behind Mo Xiu and wanted to ask Mo Xiu if they should leave, but she still didn't say anything in the end.
As the elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect, Dong Wanqian couldn't help asking, "Elder Mo, are you still planning to continue accepting disciples?"
"I have this plan," Mo Xiu nodded lightly.
Hearing this, the elders suddenly became nervous.
Even Lei Zhen couldn't compete with Mo Xiu, and the genius disciple that that fellow fancied flew away like this.
If Mo Xiu had the idea of accepting a few other geniuses, wouldn't those geniuses also have to join Mo Xiu's sect?
Although they felt that Mo Xiu would not do such things that offend all the elders, who could tell?
"Elder Mo, don't overdo some things. I advise you to accept some other seedlings," Dong Wanqian warned.
Mo Xiu didn't intend to explain, he just looked at the deacon present and signaled that he could continue.
The deacon who was in charge of the roll call was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the other elders, and seeing that the other elders had similar meanings, he hurriedly called out the next name.
The person whose name was pronounced right after Gongsun Zhi seemed to have the same talent as Gongsun Zhi. But it was still a big difference compared with Gongsun Zhi, who possessed the Phaseless Divine Vein.
Now, Mo Xiu discovered that the other "geniuses" were a little dull.
Originally, the elders were worried that Mo Xiu would take action with them, but even after several calls, Mo Xiu still stayed silent, which made them secretly relieved.
Those newcomers whose names had been read had seen Mo Xiu's performance, therefore, they really wanted to worship Mo Xiu as their teacher.
However, Mo Xiu had no intention of accepting them.
Those elders who had selected satisfactory apprentices left with the selected disciples one after another. When the talented people were all selected, only five or six elders remained in place.
Dong Wanqian had already picked a good disciple, but he was also one of the elders who did not leave.
The main reason why he didn't leave was because of Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu said that he was going to continue accepting disciples, but he never made a move, which made him feel very wrong.
Was it possible that Mo Xiu was joking?
But if he was joking, why did Mo Xiu still stay here?
He felt that Mo Xiu had a lot of secrets, so he decided to take a closer look to see what Mo Xiu had planned.
The talented people in the data had been selected. The remaining ones were talents that were not good enough, and even talents could only be regarded as ordinary people.
It was estimated that none of these elders wanted to accept disciples, so those deacons just read their names one by one and announced their position as an inner disciple, outer disciple, or just a handyman.
The newcomers knew their talents well, so they didn't feel any problems with their own belongings.
Mo Xiu listened for a while, until the deacon in charge of the roll call read the word "Ming Huang", he said, "Wait!"
"..."
Everyone at the scene was stunned, their eyes turned to Mo Xiu, all feeling a little surprised.
Mo Xiu waved to Ming Huang, "Come here."
Ming Huang had long suspected that Mo Xiu would take him over as a handyman, so it was not particularly unexpected.
But now that this kind of thing really happened, it made him feel like he was in a dream for an instant.
He pretended to have never seen Mo Xiu before, with a face full of doubts, and pointed to himself as if he was saying, "Elder, is it me?"
Mo Xiu nodded lightly and said nothing.
Ming Huang also pretended to be unfamiliar and walked towards Mo Xiu nervously.
"Elder Mo, are you planning to take him over as your handyman?" The deacon in charge of the roll call suspiciously. "If you only need a few handymen, you can just tell us. We will pick a few more clever ones and send them to you."
"Not as my handyman," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "I want him to be my apprentice."
"Ah!"
Everyone was surprised, they didn't know if Mo Xiu had a convulsion in his brain somehow.
Everyone could understand that people with talents should be apprentices, but Ming Huang's talents were really not very good. He was going to be placed in the camp of handyman.
Mo Xiu actually said he wanted to take Ming Huang as a disciple? Was this really a joke?
As the person involved, Ming Huang also doubted whether there was something wrong with Mo Xiu, and even doubted whether he had excessive delusions and auditory hallucinations.
However, he soon heard Mo Xiu say, "I don't necessarily accept disciples based on aptitude. As long as they make me feel worthy of training them, I will accept them even if they have average talents."
Ming Huang raised his hand and squeezed his face severely, confirming that he was not dreaming, and then bowed down to Mo Xiu, "Respected Master, please accept this disciple's kowtow."
Although he felt that Mo Xiu's action might be related to the previous events, he was still super happy about this.
Under normal circumstances, he couldn't even be an outer disciple of the Everlasting Sword Sect, but now, he could become a true disciple of an elder.
It could be said that a divine branch came to him and he became a phoenix. Of course, he did not want to miss this opportunity.
Mo Xiu naturally wouldn't accept Ming Huang as his disciple because of previous events. Even if Ming Huang didn't have a thin bloodline of the Phoenix clan, he had planned to kill Ming Huang before.
Everyone didn't know the reason why he accepted this apprentice, and he didn't intend to explain it.
He raised his hand, made Ming Huang get up, stood behind him, and immediately motioned with his eyes to the deacon who was in charge of the roll call to let the man continue.
After a moment of daze, the deacon continued to announce the identity of the remaining newcomers.
At the same time, Dong Wanqian came to Mo Xiu and said, "Elder Mo, I can understand why you accepted Gongsun Zhi as your disciple, but what's with this little guy?"
"It's nothing, he just looks pleasing to the eye," Mo Xiu replied casually.
Dong Wanqian's eyes flickered, and said, "Actually, I think this little boy is quite pleasing to the eye too. Would you like to give him to me?"
