Chapter 234 Cold Master 1
"It's Senior Sister Jiang Wan. Senior Sister Jiang Wan has returned from her travels!"
"As expected of you, you are the sect's number one, a daughter of destiny. Just by looking at your aura, I am so shocked that I want to kneel down and surrender!"
"..."
The disciples around him were clamoring non-stop, but Jiang Wan looked straight ahead, walked to the front of the team, and bowed to the sect leader who was sitting on the high platform.
"Master, I have returned from my travels..."
The moment he bent down, Jiang Wan began to recall the plot.
This time, she traveled to the world of cultivating immortals. Her original identity was Jiang Wan, the eldest disciple of Zhongli, the leader of Zixiao Sect. Even in the overall world of cultivating immortals, Jiang Wan's talent was one of the best.
The original body was born in an ordinary family in the mortal world. Ten years ago, he participated in the sect selection. With his extremely rare mutated heavenly spiritual roots, he was accepted as a disciple by the sect leader Zhongli, who also had a mutated ice spiritual root.
Zhongli had originally focused on cultivation and often dealt with sect affairs, so he had never accepted any disciples. As Jiang Wan was his only disciple, Zhongli was extremely strict with her.
But even so, under such a high-pressure environment, the original body still developed twisted and crooked thoughts.
Three years ago, the original body took advantage of the master's unpreparedness and, unable to hide his love for him, kissed Zhongli under the influence of alcohol... However, as soon as they made contact, Zhongli became furious and slapped the original body dozens of meters away.
That would have been fine, but afterwards, regardless of the fact that his original body had not yet fully recovered, he directly expelled the person from the sect on the grounds that he was traveling outside.
Now, three years have passed. Jiang Wan has completed the harsh and almost impossible task assigned by Zhongli and returned with great strength. Just by slightly emphasizing the word "Master", the man sitting on the seat had already flashed a few traces of panic in his eyes.
What to pretend?
Jiang Wan rolled his eyes secretly in his heart.
The target of the strategy is him. If he doesn't like the original body, then write Jiang Wan's name backwards!
Even though her original body had forced itself upon him, didn't Zhongli just slap her once and then assign her an almost impossible traveling mission, taking the opportunity to send her away?
If he really didn't like her, he would have expelled her from the sect long ago, regardless of her original reputation!
Jiang Wan knew all these things, but in order to prevent Zhongli from noticing anything unusual, she still followed her original temperament and raised her eyebrows slightly provocatively towards Zhongli from an angle that no one could see, with a playful look in her eyes.
As expected, Zhongli's face was pale at this moment, and the joints of his hands, which were clutching his sleeves tightly, became bulging and white due to the force.
He knew that the disciple who once respected his teacher and was well-behaved and sensible was no longer there. The one standing here now was an avenger who was full of hatred and had been tragically betrayed!
The whole audience focused their attention here. Zhongli breathed slowly and said as if nothing had happened, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Wan just stood there quietly, with his head slightly tilted, a sickly gleam in his eyes, "It's not hard. How can the master's instructions be considered hard work for a disciple?"
These words, uttered with gnashing teeth and containing metaphors, made Zhongli even more flustered. The lines of his jaw were tense and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Today, I have another piece of news to announce here. In this sect election, I will select a disciple with superior qualifications to be my personal disciple!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole venue became boiling.
Who is Sect Leader Zhongli? He is one of the strongest in the world of immortal cultivation. Over the past few hundred years, only a person with such extraordinary talent as Senior Sister Jiang is worthy of being his apprentice!
And now, Sect Leader Zhongli is actually willing to select a personal disciple from this group of newcomers. Many people just regret that they were born at the wrong time and do not have such good luck. Why can't they postpone it for a few years to participate in this sect election!
Different from the reactions of other disciples, Zhongli and Jiang Wan seemed to have formed a circle of vacuum isolation around them and were not affected by the excitement at all.
Zhongli Qinghan's eyes were as cold as ever, but he didn't dare to meet Jiang Wan's questioning gaze.
That's right, he always felt that Jiang Wan fell in love with him because there must be something wrong with his original way of teaching. This time in the sect election, he only needed to choose a male disciple with excellent talent and handsome appearance, and stay with people of the same age. Over time, Jiang Wan's inappropriate thoughts would naturally fade away.
Jiang Wan would resent him and blame him now, but maybe he would be grateful to him in the future.
If Jiang Wan knew what Zhongli was thinking, he would just think he was overthinking.
If she really chooses a male disciple, she can guarantee that she will not be the one who suffers.
In the original plot, Zhongli also had the same idea.
However, just as he had chosen a disciple he was satisfied with, his original body ignored the gazes of everyone present and slapped the person away. Everyone in the audience was silent. In order not to harm others, Zhongli had to give up this idea.
......
Jiang Wan followed the crowd to the conference hall. Her eyes swept over the newcomers who were peeking around and looking curious, until they stopped at one person.
Yu Changsheng, the male protagonist of the story.
The reason why Jiang Wan paused was not because he was too cool and domineering, and Jiang Wan was thinking about currying favor with someone, but because he was too special. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the most miserable male protagonist.
He was bullied by his playmates in the village and by disciples in the sect. He was unlucky all the way in the early stage. He was a poor kid who was so unlucky that he could fall flat on his face. Perhaps it was because of the principle that everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. Yu Changsheng wasted decades in the outer sect of Zixiao Sect and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. He was even caught and taken the blame. When he was nearly killed, he successfully came into contact with a piece of inheritance at the bottom of the cliff.
The fate of this senior was very similar to his. He had been extremely unlucky since childhood and even drinking cold water would cause his teeth to ache. Therefore, he devoted himself to studying for many years and finally developed a technique that could target the enemy's fortune and transform his own bad luck to cover the opponent, causing the enemy to cause trouble and lose the competition.
The impressive performance of this senior, who was only one step away from ascending to heaven, also proved that this martial art was powerful, strange and useful.
From then on, Yu Changsheng began to concentrate on practicing martial arts, his strength grew day by day, and he eventually returned powerfully. He killed one by one the sect disciples who had almost killed him, but was expelled from the Zixiao Sect for violating the sect rules.
Since then, Yu Changsheng gradually emerged in the world of immortal cultivation, and slowly, there were many more of his heroic deeds in the world of immortal cultivation. Generally speaking, most of them were to punish the strong and help the weak. Even though he had suffered a lot of torture in the past, he had always been a man who stuck to his original intentions.
When her original body saw him again, she had taken advantage of her master's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack, and after severely injuring Zhongli, she not only put him under house arrest, but also arrogantly sent out invitations to all the important figures from the major sects in the world of immortal cultivation to participate in the dual cultivation ceremony between herself and her master.
Right after that, Yu Changsheng broke into Zixiao Sect alone many times, all for the purpose of rescuing Zhongli... Because he still remembered that not long after he entered the sect, he was accidentally seen being bullied by the disciples by Zhongli, and it was the sect leader's few words that saved him from punishment!
He is a person who knows how to repay kindness.
Jiang Wan stared at Yu Changsheng with some admiration in her eyes. This male protagonist was very much to her liking. It would be a pity not to promote him. Instead of accepting other male disciples as her apprentices, it would be better to accept Yu Changsheng as her disciple directly.
In this way, even if I am not as skilled as others in the future and die together with Zhongli in his self-destruction, I will still have someone to protect me.
Of course, her abnormality was noticed by Zhongli. Seeing Jiang Wan being attracted to another man, Zhongli thought he would let it go and feel relieved. But when this scene really happened in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sad and very upset.
Zhongli closed his eyes tightly, trying to suppress the emotions that shouldn't be in his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to his cold and aloof look.
"Wanwan, do you have any disciples you like? You have always had a good eye, so why not let you choose the disciples this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the new disciples' attention was all focused on Jiang Wan. It was only then that they discovered that there was a girl in black clothes next to the leader.
After listening to the introduction of their senior brothers and sisters, they realized that it was the leader's beloved disciple Jiang Wan, the famous favored daughter of Zixiao Sect and the hot candidate for the next leader.
The choice was in Jiang Wan's hands. All the new disciples looked at her eagerly, even Yu Changsheng was no exception. But soon, he lowered his head again. For someone like him with poor aptitude and extremely bad luck, it was already a great honor for him to be able to enter Zixiao Sect by chance. He was only worthy of being an outer disciple. How could he dare to hope for the throne of a personal disciple?
But the next moment, feeling Jiang Wan walking straight towards him, Yu Changsheng was so uneasy that he didn't even know where to put his hands. He looked around at the people around him, constantly looking for the new disciples standing next to him. He couldn't believe that he would be the one who was chosen, until Jiang Wan walked up to him and stopped.
"Are you Yu Changsheng?"
The sudden change made Yu Changsheng unable to dodge. He hunched his shoulders forward and was so timid that he only dared to stare at Jiang Wan's chin. He didn't even have the courage to look her in the face.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Changsheng nodded slowly, his voice as small as a mosquito, "Yes..."
"Very good." Jiang Wan said happily, "I see that you have extraordinary talent. Why don't you follow me and become my master?"
Yu Changsheng stood there in a daze, as if he couldn't imagine that he would be hit by such a surprise. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. He has always had bad luck. Could it be that the identity of Master Zhongli's direct disciple is a hot potato, and is there some hidden story behind it?
After figuring this out, he swallowed frequently, hunched over with his head down, standing there hesitantly, "I... I can't do it, Senior Sister Jiang. I don't have good aptitude and I'm not smart. Otherwise... you can find another disciple..."
Before Yu Changsheng could finish his words, a white light flashed across his eyes. When he looked up again, he saw that Senior Sister Jiang's sword had been unsheathed. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he shuddered violently.
"I am willing to follow Senior Sister Jiang and become Master's disciple!"
