Protect Our Patriarch

Master Xuan Yao looked at Wang Luoqiu with a gaze that grew more and more satisfied, almost reluctant to move his eyes away.

In less than two hundred years since he achieved the Purple Mansion Realm, he naturally took in two or three disciples of astonishing talent. Even at their same age, their cultivation was higher than Wang Luoqiu's.

However, firstly, they were already old and not suitable for this kind of occasion. Secondly, when they were young, they might not have the same unswerving ambition for the Emperor's Path as Wang Luoqiu.

Having high talent is a good thing, but the heart of a strong person is also very important.

"Master Changchun." Master Xuan Yao looked at Master Changchun and couldn't help but boast again, "What do you think of my disciple?"

"From the outside, she indeed has an extraordinary momentum. It's rare to see such cultivation and a calm attitude towards honor and disgrace at such a young age." Master Changchun also gave a realistic evaluation, "If she can maintain this momentum, nothing can stop her on the path to becoming a celestial being. She might even have the qualifications to challenge the Purple Mansion Realm."

"Hahaha~ The Purple Mansion Realm is too far away. The path of the strong begins at one's feet, she still has a long way to go." Master Xuan Yao humbly said with a serious face.

Unfortunately, the triumphant look in his eyes made his words completely unconvincing.

"Let's, two old fellows, watch how the children shine today. Come on~ This is the rare spirit tea produced by my Xiaoyao Peak - 'Xiaoyao Immortal'."

What's amazing is that they were all suspended in the air by a mysterious force.

"Come on, Master, please sit."

Master Xuan Yao, acting like the host, invited Master Changchun to sit down and have tea.

Master Changchun was quite helpless. Today, Master Xuan Yao even took out the precious spirit tea "Xiaoyao Immortal", he must be full of confidence, ready to watch a good show.

But the tradition of the Purple Mansion Academy was not established overnight, you can't avoid it forever.

Master Changchun had no choice but to sit down and drink the "Xiaoyao Immortal" spirit tea.

As a master, he rarely paid attention to the selection of new disciples. He really didn't know what the quality of this batch of disciples from Changchun Valley was.

He just hoped that there would be some slightly outstanding ones among the new disciples. Even if they couldn't win, they could put on a good show, which would save some face for Changchun Valley.

Leaving aside the two high-ranking masters, the gathered disciples of Changchun Valley were also discussing.

"Who is that girl who made such an impressive entrance? She seems to be extraordinary."

"It looks like she might be a genius."

"This time Xiaoyao Peak is coming with a strong momentum, it seems not good~"

"Brother Jinshan, you have to think of a way, we can't keep losing like this."

"Yes, Brother Jinshan, we lose every time, and everyone has lost confidence."

Everyone's eyes were on Brother Jinshan.

Wang Shouzhe was not far away. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but look at Brother Jinshan from a distance.

No matter what, he was now an outsider disciple of Changchun Valley, and he didn't want Changchun Valley to lose too badly.

Surrounded by his fellow disciples, Brother Jinshan looked serious and said with a frown, "Don't panic, everyone calm down. Who is in charge of recruiting new disciples this time?"

"Junior Brother Yuzhe." Someone answered, "Look, look, Junior Brother Yuzhe and the others are back."

"Call Junior Brother Yuzhe over and ask about the situation of the new disciples." Brother Jinshan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, a disciple immediately went to call Junior Brother Yuzhe.

However, before Junior Brother Yuzhe could bring the new disciples over, a sudden change occurred in the sky.

The disciples of Changchun Valley and Xiaoyao Peak all looked up, attracted by the change.

In the sky, purple butterflies appeared out of nowhere.

They fluttered as if they were spirits flying out of a secluded valley. The fine scales fell from the sky like stardust, weaving a dreamy light and shadow in the sky.

A faint celestial music came from the void.

The sound was like a babbling brook, and like a nightingale singing, infecting everyone's mood and calming them down.

In the hazy illusion, a graceful figure broke through the light fog and came from the sky.

It was an extremely beautiful woman.

She had the tender skin of a young girl, yet the alluring curves of a mature woman.

A light veil covered her face, but it couldn't hide her unique temperament.

It was a temperament that couldn't be described in words, as pure and bright as the flawless moon, yet with the agility and cunning of a fairy.

When she lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, she was as dignified and majestic as the goddess in the ancient paintings. With a flutter of her eyes, she was full of charm. Every frown and smile could move people, making her inscrutable.

She was wrapped in a carefully tailored light purple dress, which highlighted her enchanting curves and mysterious temperament. As she swayed her waist, she exuded an irresistible charm.

"Lady Phantom Butterfly!"

"Is it really her?"

Upon seeing this woman, the disciples of Changchun Valley were immediately taken aback and whispered in surprise.

Wang Shouzhe had already learned about the information of the Purple Mansion Academy in advance. Hearing the discussions around him, he immediately realized.

This must be Lady Phantom Butterfly, one of the few masters of the Purple Mansion Academy.

Lady Phantom Butterfly was in charge of the Wan Butterfly Valley, always mysterious and rarely showing her true face.

However, Lady Phantom Butterfly had few disciples, and only accepted female disciples, so the overall combat power of Wan Butterfly Valley was not significant.

Of course, not being significant doesn't mean they are not capable.

In fact, few people would choose to visit Wan Butterfly Valley except for the Xuanbing Hall.

The fighting style of Wan Butterfly Valley was very strange, usually using spirit bees, spirit butterflies and other spirit insects, combined with powerful illusions to fight, which was very tricky.

Fighting with them, one would often fall into their illusions and lose.

However, Wan Butterfly Valley always kept a low profile. While they were not seen by others, they rarely visited other sects.

It was unknown why they came this time.

As soon as Lady Phantom Butterfly appeared, she gracefully pulled out a comfortable chair she had brought with her, sat next to the other two masters, and poured herself a cup of spiritual tea, saying, "Your disciples are sparring here, you don't mind me watching the excitement, do you?"

Seeing her, even Master Xuan Yao's expression became serious.

He scrutinized Lady Phantom Butterfly's expression and speculated, "Could it be that Lady Phantom Butterfly has also accepted an extraordinary disciple this time and wants to show off?"

"Hehehe~" Lady Phantom Butterfly covered her lips with a fan and laughed softly, "Master Xuan Yao, you are too anxious~ Don't worry, let's watch the excitement first."

Seeing this, Master Changchun's face became even more bitter.

Lady Phantom Butterfly's arrival was strange, and she probably had also accepted a talented disciple and couldn't wait to show off.

However, this woman was known for her mysterious mind, and she might want to observe the situation before making a decision.

Meanwhile.

With the arrival of Lady Phantom Butterfly, the new disciples of Wan Butterfly Valley were also led into the square by the core disciples under the guidance of the disciples of Changchun Valley.

All the disciples of Wan Butterfly Valley were women.

They all wore thin veils on their faces like Lady Phantom Butterfly, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. Only their lively eyes were exposed to everyone's sight.

They were of different ages, figures, and temperaments, but they all exuded a strong feminine charm in their swaying figures.

Before they even got close, a refreshing fragrance seemed to float in the air.

Many disciples of Changchun Valley were directly stunned, and even among the disciples brought by Master Xuan Yao, many were so nervous that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Of course, this did not include Wang Shouzhe.

Even though there were more than a dozen beautiful women from Wan Butterfly Valley this time, Wang Shouzhe immediately spotted a familiar figure among them.

Wang Luoqing.

Wang Luoqing was still in her purple dress, not conspicuous among the dozen or so beauties with different temperaments, but this could not hide from Wang Shouzhe, who was extremely familiar with her.

So that's how it is.

Wang Shouzhe suddenly realized, finally understanding why Lady Phantom Butterfly couldn't wait to come to Changchun Valley. It turned out that she had also got a treasure and wanted to show off.

However, seeing that Master Xuan Yao seemed to have taken the initiative, she temporarily hid Wang Luoqing, preparing to make a move at the right time.

This could be guessed from the fact that even when Lady Phantom Butterfly was talking with the other two masters, her eyes would occasionally glance at Wang Luoqing.

He couldn't help but sigh, Changchun Valley was going to be unlucky.

One Luoqiu was already troublesome enough, and Luoqing was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. When the two sisters were together, they always made a fuss.

Sure enough.

Before anyone else noticed, Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luoqing's eyes had already met.

Although they hadn't spoken yet, Wang Shouzhe could already feel the sparks flying between them, as well as their long-standing rivalry.

After all, they had been competing with each other since they were young, and neither of them would admit defeat to the other.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was sighing that a storm was about to come, the disciples of Changchun Valley were all in despair.

What happened to the traditional event of this recruitment conference? It's rare for any superior figures to participate, yet this time, two of them graced Changchun Valley with their presence, bringing their disciples to gain some experience.

This was clearly a sign of disrespect towards Changchun Valley, as if they were using it as a warm-up.

How disheartening was this?

In this gloomy atmosphere, a young-looking disciple from Changchun Valley led a group of youngsters over.

He greeted, "Brother Jinshan, I have brought the new recruits."

This was Li Yuzhe, a junior brother from Changchun Valley.

He was only in his thirties, yet he had already reached the Spirit Platform Realm, making him one of the youngest outstanding disciples in Changchun Valley.

This time, he was in charge of recruiting new disciples.

Brother Jinshan straightened up slightly, looking at the dozen or so new disciples.

But at a glance, his heart sank.

These new disciples were all evasive and timid, lacking any hint of the temperament of a genius.

Well, geniuses were indeed hard to come by.

Brother Jinshan understood this, but when he compared Wang Luoqiu with his own disciples, he couldn't help feeling disappointed and sighed.

However, Li Yuzhe said, "Brother Jinshan, among the new recruits, there are actually two who are quite good. They have awakened a layer of bloodline in the Qi Refining Realm, which can be considered as core seeds. There should be some hope."

"Core seeds... What's the use of core seeds?" Brother Jinshan was helpless, "Back then, weren't we all core seeds? Weren't we all promising? Yet we were beaten down all the way."

But there was no helping it, who made them from Changchun lineage, which was not good at fighting?

"Never mind, since they are promising, we should encourage them." Brother Jinshan waved his hand, showing a leader's demeanor.

Li Yuzhe took the order and called out, "Liu Yunlang, Xu Shanshan, you two come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl who looked obedient and innocent, with eyes as innocent as a deer, immediately ran over and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Brother Yuzhe."

"Where is Liu Yunlang?" Li Yuzhe frowned.

Xu Shanshan was taken aback and said, "He was just here, where did he go in the blink of an eye?"

She looked around and suddenly pointed in a direction with joy, "He's over there."

Everyone looked over and saw that Liu Yunlang had somehow run into the "enemy camp".

At this moment, Liu Yunlang was respectfully saluting Wang Luoqiu, "Senior Sister, so you are here."

"Yunlang~" Wang Luoqiu raised her eyebrows slightly, immediately recognizing this little brother she had personally accepted, "So you joined Changchun Valley. But with your wood talent, joining Changchun Valley is a good choice. Practice hard and don't disgrace me."

After speaking, she even lightly patted Liu Yunlang's shoulder, showing a big sister's demeanor.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Senior Sister. I will definitely work hard." Liu Yunlang was so excited to be affirmed by the big sister, his cheeks even turned slightly red.

Just like this?

The people of Changchun Valley looked at each other, their core seed, their promising disciple, had run to the other side to call someone else Senior Sister, and he was so respectful.

How could they bear this?

Brother Jinshan's face darkened, "Li Yuzhe, is this your so-called 'hopeful'?"

Li Yuzhe also broke out in a cold sweat. There was half a hope before, but now, there might not even be half a hope.

Seeing this scene, Wang Shouzhe also shook his head.

Among the new disciples of Changchun Valley, it seemed that none of them could stand up to Wang Luoqiu.

Seeing this, the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak were even more spirited.

"Brother Jinshan, this time our Xuanhuan lineage's new disciples have come to your lineage to gain some experience. Please make way for us, Brother Jinshan. How shall we play today?" Brother Xiuping smiled and suddenly spoke loudly.

The faces of Brother Jinshan and the people of Changchun Valley darkened.

How to play?

How else could they play?

With the current situation, they could only do as usual, just lie down and let it pass~

However, just as Brother Jinshan was about to speak, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

"Zhang Xiuping, don't be so smug. If you dare, let's play."
