Is the Tower Master going to take a Disciple?
True God Chitian's words were shocking, and the surrounding Elders immediately showed looks of surprise.
In the Eternal Continent, the masters of such great powers taking Disciples is a very meticulous matter, unlike the Immortal Realm where there are distinctions such as Named Disciples and Personal Disciples.
Every Disciple is a Personal Disciple, and many powerful experts might not even take a second student in their entire lives.
And the Five Elements Tower Master was the type who had never taken a Disciple, having extremely high requirements for students.
"Xuanji, you must seize this opportunity well!"
Fang Xuanhe sent a secret transmission; although the Five Elements Tower was only a second-rate power, the status of the Tower Master's Personal Disciple was no small matter.
Once one becomes a Personal Disciple, the resources and treatment they enjoy are quite substantial, far better than being an S-rank Talent in the Hun Family.
In fact, Fang Xuanhe also felt a sense of appreciation for talent, but he also knew he was not qualified to take Han Xuanji as a Disciple.
More importantly, the meaning of True God Chitian's words was far more than just "taking a Disciple."
Sure enough, True God Chitian immediately followed up:
"If you are willing to stay, I will personally guide your cultivation, and the resources in the tower will be at your disposal. Once you have fully comprehended the Five Elements Altar's Legacy, I will personally take you as my Disciple. In the future, it is not impossible for me to pass the position of Tower Master to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several Elders changed.
"Tower Master, this..."
An old man couldn't help but speak up, but was stopped by True God Chitian raising a hand.
"What, do my words not count?"
True God Chitian glanced at the old man, his tone authoritative without being angry.
The old man quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak further.
Although the other Elders had their own thoughts, they did not dare to contradict him to his face.
They knew in their hearts that while True God Chitian was aiming for Han Xuanji's talent, he might have other considerations as well.
Han Xuanji was on good terms with the Hun Family; if they could keep Han Xuanji in the Five Elements Tower, it would be equivalent to indirectly establishing a connection with the Hun Family. Furthermore, the youth's talent was extremely high, making it not difficult for him to become an Eternal True God in the future.
No matter how one calculated it, this deal was not a loss.
Han Xuanji was slightly stunned, then calmly cupped his hands and said:
"The Tower Master's kindness overwhelms this Junior, but I already have a master. Although my master is not by my side, I do not dare to join another sect. This matter... please forgive this Junior for being unable to agree."
For others, joining True God Chitian's tutelage would bring immense benefits, not only receiving full cultivation support but also the protection of a top-tier True God.
But he lacked neither resources nor protection, so there was no need to change his affiliation.
The other party wouldn't fly into a rage just because he refused, would they?
True God Chitian's eyes flickered.
Already has a master?
A flash of doubt crossed his mind, but he did not press further.
Cultivators in the Eternal Continent have strong views on sect affiliation, and most have their own legacies. Han Xuanji's origin was mysterious; he might very well be the Disciple of a top-tier powerhouse, so his refusal was within reason.
"No matter."
True God Chitian waved his hand, his smile remaining,
"Since you already have a master, little friend, I will not force you. However, the doors of the Five Elements Tower will always be open to you. If you have any needs in the future, feel free to come find me."
Han Xuanji bowed in thanks:
"Thank you, Tower Master."
True God Chitian nodded, then used Han Xuanji as an example to lecture for a while before leading the Elders away.
Fang Xuanhe did not leave; instead, he walked to Han Xuanji's side and lowered his voice:
"Little friend, are you really not going to consider the Tower Master's proposal? With your talent, staying in the Five Elements Tower would certainly not be a waste."
Han Xuanji shook his head:
"I appreciate Elder Fang's kindness. It's just that my ambitions do not lie here; please forgive me, Elder."
Fang Xuanhe sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
He patted Han Xuanji's shoulder and smiled:
"Very well, everyone has their own aspirations. But remember, the Five Elements Tower will always be your friend. If you have any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me."
"Thank you, Elder Fang."
Han Xuanji thanked him again and watched Fang Xuanhe leave.
After a System scan, the Five Elements Tower Master and Fang Xuanhe were both good people. However, he had too many secrets and really didn't want to receive too much attention, nor was there any need to let down Hun Qianling, Hun Qianxue, and the others.
"Time to go, time to return to the Hun Family."
Han Xuanji quickened his pace and walked out of the Five Elements Tower.
Outside the Five Elements Tower, the crowd was like a woven fabric. As soon as Han Xuanji stepped out of the tower doors, he was slightly stunned by the spectacle before him.
On the wide square in front of the tower, a dense crowd of people was standing, at least a hundred of them, all dressed as Disciples from various families in Qianhun City.
The two leading them were none other than Wang Lin and Hun Hao.
Wang Lin stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent as if he were just there to watch the excitement.
Beside him, Hun Hao's face was flushed red. He kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone, his hands clenched tightly as if he were undergoing some major psychological preparation.
Behind them, a group of onlookers whispered, their gazes sweeping over Han Xuanji with curiosity, awe, and a bit of excitement for the drama. Han Xuanji's gaze swept across the crowd, and he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in a corner.
Wang Ping.
The kid was leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed, a faint smile playing on his lips. Feeling puzzled, Han Xuanji sent a secret transmission to Wang Ping, asking him to come over and explain.
Wang Ping quickly strode over and smiled:
"Brother Han, you don't know yet? This spectacle is all because of you."
"Because of me?"
Han Xuanji's eyebrows rose slightly.
Wang Ping smiled and briefly explained the bet between Wang Lin and Hun Hao.
After hearing this, Han Xuanji couldn't help but laugh.
"They're really bored."
He shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.
Wang Ping nodded in deep agreement:
"I think so too. However, this bet did have a good result. That kid Hun Hao finally knows his place."
As they spoke, Hun Hao took a deep breath and strode up to Han Xuanji.
The surrounding crowd immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes focused on Hun Hao. Hun Hao's face turned beet red, and a flash of struggle appeared in his eyes, but it soon turned into determination.
He bent down and bowed deeply.
Ninety degrees, meticulous.
"Brother Han!"
Hun Hao's voice trembled slightly, yet it was exceptionally clear:
"Previously, I was blind and said many things I shouldn't have said and did many things I shouldn't have done. Today, in front of everyone, I apologize to you! I'm sorry!"
He bowed very low, his forehead almost touching his knees.
The people on the square who were there to see a joke also fell silent.
Many people knew Hun Hao's character; he was stubborn and never admitted defeat.
Even if he was wrong on a normal day, he would make excuses and never lower his head.
But today, in front of over a hundred people, he bowed. Looking at the young man bowing deeply before him, Han Xuanji didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.
To be honest, he had little impression of someone like Hun Hao.
There were too many voices of ridicule and doubt back then; he couldn't remember them all, nor did he care to. The path of cultivation is long and full of obstacles.
Rather than wasting energy on such idle gossip, it was better to cultivate and improve oneself.
