The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 19: Looting

"Naturally, I am willing!"

These four words were like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in the hearts of the few people present.

Yue Hongling’s eyes widened, staring at Lu Ye in disbelief, then turning to her master.

White Qiulan’s body also trembled slightly, her hand clenched into a fist. There was a trace of shock in her eyes.

And also a hint of confusion.

Lu Ye didn’t want to be her disciple. Hearing these four words, for some reason, White Qiulan felt panic rising in her heart, a sense of urgency overwhelming her.

"Hahaha, good! Very good! Since Lu Ye has no objections, I’ll immediately go and ask for the Sect Master's decree!" The Battle Sword Lord laughed loudly, and his figure instantly vanished.

The other two Supreme Elders also hurried to the main peak.

A few sword-cultivating peak masters gritted their teeth and also flew toward the main peak. They weren’t sure if the Sect Master would allow the Supreme Elders to fight over a disciple, or if the Sect Master would let Lu Ye join another peak instead?

White Qiulan gave Lu Ye a deep look.

"Master!"

Yue Hongling’s voice was full of urgency.

She absolutely couldn’t let her senior brother join another peak. Though she didn’t know why, Yue Hongling felt an intense resistance, an overwhelming desire to keep Lu Ye from leaving their sect!

"With me here, no one can take him away!"

White Qiulan spoke with determination, her figure vanishing instantly.

A group of terrifyingly strong experts had left, and only then did everyone realize, a common thought rising ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ in their minds:

Lu Ye is going to be amazing!

No matter who takes Lu Ye as their disciple in the end, Lu Ye will surely become incredible.

But was it really okay for him to so directly express his desire to leave Bai Lan Peak?

There’s an old saying, "Once a disciple, always like a father."

Although the cultivation world doesn’t emphasize this too much, there should still be some subtlety.

Just now, when the Supreme Elder asked if Lu Ye would be willing to leave Bai Lan Peak, Lu Ye’s answer was so lighthearted.

For someone like him, even if he joins another peak, will the other peaks hesitate in the slightest?

At this moment, he encounters strength and leaves without a second thought.

The next time he encounters someone even stronger, he will leave again.

If only he had said something like, “I’ll follow the arrangements of the elders,” it wouldn’t have been a situation of tearing the face off!

This person is definitely talented, but his emotional intelligence is so low.

Whether he can truly become a great figure still depends on whether the master he joins can tolerate him.

The competition continued.

After Lu Ye defeated Linghu Wushuang, he had already secured a spot in the top two.

On the other side, it was the battle between Chu Ling and another top disciple of the Grand Dao Sect, Xiao Huarong.

Xiao Huarong was also a peak talent of the Grand Dao Sect, gentle by nature, and her beauty was unparalleled.

The interest of the crowd shifted, as compared to Lu Ye’s situation, they preferred to watch the clash between two peerless beauties, not even daring to imagine how beautiful this battle would be.

Chu Ling and Xiao Huarong took the stage.

Both were stunningly beautiful, with distinctly different auras. One was as gentle as water, calm and unshaken; the other was like a sword, peaceful when she was sheathed but sharp when drawn.

The battle began!

On the other side.

A group of people noisily rushed to the Grand Dao Hall.

A middle-aged man with no beard seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

Sun Ruowei also followed, her eyes shining brightly.

Let me see what the situation is.

"Sect Master, there is a disciple named Lu Ye, who has extraordinary talent in swordsmanship. He is truly suitable for my inheritance.

"Battle Sword Uncle, how can you say that..." Sect Master Liu Changfeng said, both amused and helpless.

"Am I not speaking the truth? Sect Master, if Junior Sister Bai were a sword cultivator, I wouldn't have said anything, but she's a spell cultivator. Although I haven't seen the sword he struck with his two fingers, my disciple showed me what it looked like. That sword, in the entire wasteland, among the heavenly prodigies, is truly unparalleled!"

"No, he must join my sect. Your Battle Sword Peak is all about fighting and fighting. I don’t think Lu Ye is the type of person who seeks to fight for the sake of fighting. He should cultivate my Concealed Sword, conceal the sword within, and strike once to announce his name to the world. This is the path he should follow!"

"Utter nonsense! He struck his opponent into a complete mess with just one finger, and you say he's not the type to fight fiercely?"

"I don’t think he is!"

"Alright, stop arguing, let me speak fairly. Lu Ye must join my Lonely Sword Peak. The Battle Sword hasn't been passed down yet, but the Concealed Sword has a group of concealed sword cultivators. If Lonely Sword Peak truly loses its lineage, it’s over!"

Sect Master Liu Changfeng was getting a headache from the noise, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Enough! Everyone be quiet!"

He shouted loudly.

The hall immediately fell silent.

Liu Changfeng’s gaze turned toward White Qiulan. In that moment, there was a brief moment of daze in his eyes.

It was undeniable that he had feelings for White Qiulan.

But White Qiulan didn’t return those feelings.

Unconsciously, it had already been over a year since he had last seen Junior Sister Bai. And she seemed... more beautiful now.

More beautiful?

Liu Changfeng paused slightly, comparing his memories of White Qiulan with the current version of her.

The old White Qiulan was as cold as ice, as proud as a snow plum.

She was like an unreachable, unapproachable snow-capped ice lotus.

But now, though still cold and proud, there was a hint of warmth around her.

It was as if the snow-capped ice lotus had stepped into the bustling world.

Was it just his illusion? He even felt a hint of... seduction from White Qiulan?

Illusion!

It must be an illusion!

How could Junior Sister Bai have any seductive qualities?

His voice softened, and he gently said, "Junior Sister."

At that moment, the three Supreme Elders and the group of peak masters all felt a sudden jolt in their hearts. The Sect Master was being so gentle?

This is bad!

Sun Ruowei couldn’t help but secretly laugh, Hehe, you came to find the Sect Master? You’ve made a huge miscalculation.

The Sect Master was Bai Qiulan’s number one fan.

Whatever Bai Qiulan said, the Sect Master would nod so vigorously his neck might break.

"Junior Sister Bai, I have seen the Sect Master!"

White Qiulan’s voice was calm.

Liu Changfeng smiled, "I’ve told you, you can call me Senior Brother, there’s no need to call me Sect Master."

"Rules of the sect cannot be overlooked, etiquette must not be discarded."

White Qiulan really didn’t have any feelings for Liu Changfeng.

"Alright, alright, it’s fine to call me Sect Master. Now, Junior Sister Bai, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Changfeng asked with a smile.

White Qiulan had calmed down by this point. The impact of Lu Ye’s willingness to leave Bai Lan Peak had finally subsided.

Though she didn’t want to admit it, her heart was strongly protesting—Lu Ye absolutely could not leave Bai Lan Peak.

She came up with the perfect reason for herself.

In his past life, under her guidance, Lu Ye became the most solid wall of defense for humanity, and now, with his rebirth full of resentment, she was deeply worried that Lu Ye would go down the wrong path. Therefore, she must always correct him.

Yes, that’s it!

In his past life, she had always been his master, and in this life, she would remain so—it was her responsibility.
