"Master, I'm going to do some investigating."
Yi Que dashed off, a bit excited.
Xu Yang looked bewildered.
Dan Qi explained, "Hong Wei is also one of the elders of the Immortal Mountain, with Golden Immortal cultivation; he's never found a suitable personal disciple. Chi Ning is relatively close to him, and it was thanks to Hong Wei that Chi Ning became an inner sect steward back in the day."
"You made a splash in the assessment. If Chi Ning recommends you to Hong Wei, that'll be something to see."
Xu Yang understood, giving a wry smile. "I don't think so. After so many years with no disciple, I bet his standards are insanely high."
"Not necessarily."
Dan Qi gave a knowing look. "That old bastard loves stalling. A few promising seedlings have caught his eye before, but he always tests them secretly. Every time he screwed it up—one got snatched by someone else, another got ruined by an accident."
"Er..."
Xu Yang was at a loss for words.
