"What is there to guess? We are guests, just watch and see."
Although Xiao Lin knew the reason behind it, he had no intention of speaking it out directly.
After all, this Disciple Recruitment Ceremony of the Yun Lan Sect had already experienced a bit of an accident because of him. Indeed, when Yun Shan said there was a second half to the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, it had completely dazed everyone present except for him!
One must know, before Xiao Lin and Yun Shan completed their deal, the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony was actually supposed to end at this point. This second half of the ceremony was only added temporarily by Yun Shan because of Xiao Lin!
Naturally, no one within the Yun Lan Sect knew there was such an arrangement!
At this moment, while Xiao Lin, Nalan Jie, and Mu Chen were conversing, Yun Shan had already walked to a spot not far in front of them. Finally, Yun Shan and Xiao Lin exchanged a look and nodded to one another.
He then shifted his gaze toward the person beside Xiao Lin.
Standing beside Xiao Lin was, naturally, his son Xiao Zhan!
"I have long heard of the genius name of the Xiao Clan's Xiao Zhan. During the last Coming of Age Ceremony of the Xiao Clan, I also witnessed it myself. How about it? I wish to accept you as my second disciple, are you willing?"
Yun Shan looked at the currently nervous Xiao Zhan and asked with a smile.
Following the fall of Yun Shan's voice, in this instant, the Great Hall of the Yun Lan Sect became deathly silent, so quiet that a falling needle could be heard!
Many guests and Yun Lan Sect disciples even had their mouths hanging wide open in shock.
What was the situation?
Why did Yun Shan suddenly propose to accept the Xiao Clan's Xiao Zhan as a disciple? Who could tell them exactly what was going on?
Could it be that there was some unspeakable "behind-the-scenes" deal between the Yun Lan Sect and the Xiao Clan? Don't say it, they really guessed right!
Wasn't this happening exactly because of the deal Xiao Lin had made with Yun Shan earlier?
Finally, after the shock passed, everyone began to recover their senses one after another.
"I, did I hear correctly? The Sect Master wants to accept the Xiao Clan's Xiao Zhan as a disciple?"
"Maybe I heard it wrong too..."
"Regarding this matter, there wasn't even a single whisper of news beforehand!"
"Is the Sect Master acting on a whim, or did he have this plan long ago?"
"Why would Yun Shan accept someone from the Xiao Clan as a disciple?"
"Who knows? Since Yun Shan is accepting a Xiao Clan member as a disciple, then, could my son be..."
"You better stop daydreaming. You don't even have a wife, let alone a son."
"Is this the second half of the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony that Sect Master Yun Shan mentioned?"
...
For a moment, whether it was the guests from various parties or the disciples and Elders of the Yun Lan Sect, all of them could not help but begin whispering to each other.
The content of their discussion was, naturally, the matter of Yun Shan wanting to accept Xiao Zhan as a disciple. It could be seen that they were shocked beyond measure by this decision of Yun Shan.
That's right, one of the items in the deal discussed between Xiao Lin and Yun Shan was to have Yun Shan accept Xiao Zhan as a disciple. Xiao Zhan currently practiced a Cultivation Technique that was once lost by the Yun Lan Sect, and it was likewise Wind Attribute Dou Qi.
To be honest, having Yun Shan teach Xiao Zhan would, in all probability, be better than Xiao Lin teaching him himself. Moreover, although Xiao Lin had now become the Clan Head of the Xiao Clan, it was clear that he could not stay in the Xiao Clan forever.
Since that was the case, having Yun Shan accept Xiao Zhan as a disciple would not only allow the Yun Lan Sect to become the Xiao Clan's backer during the periods Xiao Lin was away, but Xiao Zhan could also follow Yun Shan to cultivate during this time.
Why wouldn't he do it?
The primary reason Yun Shan agreed so readily was that Xiao Lin had returned all the Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques above the Earth Grade that were once lost by the Yun Lan Sect.
Yes, remember that after Xiao Lin received the invitation to the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony sent by the Yun Lan Sect, he immediately went to tell his son Xiao Zhan about this matter.
Subsequently, Xiao Lin entered the newly built Library Pavilion of the Xiao Clan
Spent two months making a copy of all the Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques that originally belonged to the Yun Lan Sect, which he had seized from the Imperial Family of the Sky Serpent Empire.
Among them, it even included that Earth Grade High Level Cultivation Technique—Misty Cloud Sword Technique!
After finishing the copying, Xiao Lin took all these original Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques lost by the Yun Lan Sect to complete this deal with Yun Shan. Of course, copying these Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques was actually not an easy task.
It is just like a pill formula.
If your Alchemist rank is not high enough, you cannot even read a pill formula, let alone copy it. The same logic applies to Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques. Wanting to create a copy isn't as simple as just handing you a pen.
If it were truly that simple, every faction would have likely printed thousands of copies of their own Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques by now. To copy a Cultivation Technique or Dou Technique, you actually need to have completely and thoroughly comprehended it.
It is no exaggeration to say that without the cultivation of a Dou Zong, you simply cannot accomplish the copying of Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques!
Even if you have the cultivation of a Dou Zong, if you want to copy an Earth Grade Cultivation Technique or Dou Technique, it is estimated that it would take several months or even a year or two to manage it.
Fortunately, Xiao Lin was a Dou Zun with a Heaven Realm soul, which allowed him to complete the copying within two months.
Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't be this fast!
As for Xiao Lin returning these Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques that originally belonged to the Yun Lan Sect to Yun Shan, having the other party accept Xiao Zhan as a disciple was merely one of the conditions.
Toward this, Yun Shan naturally had no reason to refuse.
Therefore, this scene before them occurred.
At this moment, as the sound of Yun Shan's voice fell, the nearby Nalan Jie and Mu Chen already had their eyes wide open. They looked at Xiao Lin in disbelief, then at Xiao Zhan, before finally turning back to Yun Shan.
The two of them opened their mouths, but neither knew what to say.
At this time, the shock in their hearts was also plain to see. That the Xiao Clan and the Yun Lan Sect would actually strike up such a relationship was something they never would have imagined even if they were beaten to death.
On the other side, seeing his son dazed by Yun Shan's words, Xiao Lin couldn't help but nudge him with his elbow.
"Ah!"
Only then did Xiao Zhan finally snap back to his senses.
He also hadn't expected that his old man had actually pulled this off!
Yes, when his old man had mentioned to him earlier that Yun Shan would accept him as a disciple, he was still feeling apprehensive and found it a bit hard to believe. Who would have thought that this matter would actually happen right now?
Whether one says it or not, as expected of his old man!
"Disciple Xiao Zhan, greets Teacher!"
After regaining his composure, Xiao Zhan immediately and respectfully performed the disciple's greeting to Yun Shan.
Xiao Zhan himself knew his own circumstances.
His cultivation talent wasn't considered strong; to be favored by Yun Shan and accepted as a disciple, his old man must have definitely put in some effort behind the scenes.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan, who lacked a God's perspective, was naturally extremely willing to be able to take Yun Shan—the number one person in the Jia Ma Empire—as his teacher.
"Hahaha, good, good, good! Rise quickly. From this day forward, you are the last closed-door disciple of I, Yun Shan!"
While helping Xiao Zhan up from the ground, Yun Shan even said "good" three times in a row.
Actually, accepting Xiao Zhan as a disciple was just a secondary matter for Yun Shan. What was important was that he wanted to draw closer to a powerhouse like Xiao Lin, whom even he could not see through.
In fact, during the earlier deal, Yun Shan had even asked Xiao Lin if he wanted Xiao Zhan to become the Young Sect Master.
After all, Xiao Lin had given far too much.
However, Xiao Lin felt there was no need for that.
Because in the future, he would likely head to the Central Plains; thus, the Xiao Clan would naturally need Xiao Zhan to manage it. Since that was the case, where would Xiao Zhan find the time to manage the affairs of the Yun Lan Sect?
Therefore, Xiao Lin's request for Yun Shan to simply take Xiao Zhan as a disciple was already enough. With this, the history of the Yun Lan Sect was also changed by Xiao Lin.
