Hua Siyun had initially felt a bit embarrassed for overstepping her bounds, but as soon as Rong Hua spoke, she suddenly felt that what she had done was right.
Regardless of whether she liked Feng Xingzhi or not, the act of standing up against injustice itself was right.
This was the education she had received since childhood.
She straightened her back. "I watched them fight all the way to the 30th floor. They were the ones who killed the Taowu on the 29th floor. How could they end up at the bottom of the ranking? This ranking is unfair."
Hearing this, Bai Youmu actually agreed in his heart.
To be honest, he himself didn't understand why Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi had the lowest scores.
But he couldn't say this directly. After all, if he did, wouldn't it mean admitting that Kunlun Mountain had made a mistake?
After a moment of thought, he tried to smooth things over. "We have our reasons for this arrangement. You don't need to ask too much. Instead of worrying about others' rankings, you'd better think about which master you want to apprentice to."
Hua Siyun didn't understand, but she had already said what she wanted to say. Even though she still felt it was unfair, there was nothing she could do.
"Disciple has nothing else to say. I'll take my leave first."
Bai Youmu didn't expect that when Hua Siyun came to him and Rong Hua, apart from standing up for her friends, she really had no other requests.
Just as he was about to call her back, another person came in from outside the door.
Hua Siyun stopped. The person coming was Qi Haoyang.
Dressed in white, he came in front of Master Rong Hua, looking up at the handsome - featured man. "Master Rong Hua, disciple Qi Haoyang requests to be your disciple."
Rong Hua still had some impression of this person. But at that time, with the crisis of the Taowu looming, although he was capable, he was not as brave as the princess of Beidi and the princess of Nanyan.
Moreover, he was rather sharp - tongued.
Rong Hua didn't say a word, just shook his head. "I already have a candidate in mind. You're quite capable. You'd better look for other masters."
Hearing that Rong Hua already had a candidate, Qi Haoyang immediately widened his eyes.
He was the first on the list. Did Master Rong Hua not want him at all?
He was a bit reluctant and asked further. "May I ask who your three candidates are?"
"Who said I'm taking three?" Rong Hua was a bit dissatisfied. "I'm only taking one this year."
Hearing this, even Bai Youmu was a bit shocked and quickly asked him. "Why? Didn't we agree to take three?"
Rong Hua had a cold expression. "Who agreed with you? I just want to take Ji Yunxi as my disciple. I don't think much of the others."
Hearing this, Hua Siyun didn't feel jealous of Ji Yunxi at all. After all, she had seen Ji Yunxi's abilities and was convinced. But if Ji Yunxi was really taken in by Rong Hua, and Rong Hua only wanted one disciple, wouldn't it mean that she and Brother Xingzhi would be separated?!
Thinking of this, Hua Siyun couldn't help smiling. If she could separate Ji Yunxi and Brother Xingzhi, wouldn't that give her a chance?
It seemed that this trip was not in vain.
Seeing that Bai Youmu still wanted to persuade, Hua Siyun immediately said. "Yes, Miss Ji has high spiritual power and is extremely intelligent. She is indeed the most suitable person to apprentice to Master Rong Hua."
Rong Hua was quite pleased to hear this and nodded with a smile. Qi Haoyang, on the other hand, lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Bai Youmu sighed. Rong Hua was quite capable, but he didn't know how to choose his words. Just now, he had directly said that he didn't think much of others, which was an insult to Qi Haoyang.
And this Qi Haoyang was the first - ranked new disciple in the entrance examination.
Bai Youmu said helplessly. "Qi Haoyang, you're the first in this examination. Would you like to apprentice to me?"
Qi Haoyang was a bit surprised and looked up at Bai Youmu.
He knew Bai Youmu. Among the masters in Kunlun Mountain, Bai Youmu was quite powerful and had always held an important position, almost like the vice - sect leader.
If he followed Bai Youmu, he could not only learn skills but also gain rights that others didn't have.
These were all the thoughts that flashed through Qi Haoyang's mind in an instant.
However, he was still a bit hesitant. Although Bai Youmu was good, compared with Immortal Master Rong Hua, there was still a gap.
If he could also apprentice to Rong Hua with Ji Yunxi, he could not only learn skills but also get closer to Ji Yunxi...
His hesitation was clearly visible to everyone. Rong Hua and Bai Youmu exchanged a look. This person was really too utilitarian.
But Bai Youmu didn't mind. He didn't think that a person without any desires was good. On the contrary, as long as Qi Haoyang didn't cross the bottom line, it was not wrong for him to seek benefits for himself.
"Qi Haoyang, you have high talent, but you and I are not a good match. If you apprentice to me, it's far worse than apprenticing to Youmu." Seeing his hesitation, Rong Hua advised.
Qi Haoyang looked up, and Rong Hua explained. "My cultivation method doesn't match yours. It won't help much with your future cultivation progress."
Qi Haoyang seemed to understand a bit and stared blankly.
Hua Siyun stood beside him and nudged him with her elbow. "Don't be stupid. Master Rong Hua is right. Even if he's the best, he may not be the most suitable for you."
"I..."
"Bai Youmu has a very powerful mental method that matches yours exactly. If you don't make a choice now or give up, you may regret it later!"
Thanks to Hua Siyun's urging and Rong Hua's earnest persuasion, Qi Haoyang understood and immediately nodded. "Disciple Qi Haoyang pays respects to Master."
With this kneel, Bai Youmu got a disciple and was quite happy. He quickly waved his hand. "Get up, get up."
Qi Haoyang saw the joy in Bai Youmu's eyes, and his little bit of unwillingness immediately disappeared.
Ji Yunxi and the others didn't really care about the ranking, so they didn't have the idea of looking for a master in advance.
After looking at the ranking, they strolled back to the courtyard where they were staying.
"Yunxi, do you and cousin have any masters you want to apprentice to?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "No. I didn't inquire before. It doesn't matter who it is, as long as I can apprentice to Kunlun. Moreover, I just want to go to the library. I don't care about other things."
Feng Xingzhi nodded in agreement with Ji Yunxi's words as usual. "As long as I'm with Xixi, it doesn't matter."
Du Tianchen popped up from behind. "Tsk tsk, Lord Feng, you're really hen - pecked."
"Yes, I'm hen - pecked. I can't beat her." Feng Xingzhi smiled faintly and exchanged a look with Ji Yunxi. Their eyes were almost filled with pink bubbles.
Du Tianchen couldn't help laughing out loud. "You just admit it like this? Do you want to try again?"
Ji Yunyi hissed. "Du Tianchen, what do you know? Is it really good for men to be superior to women? The way of husband and wife lies in mutual respect. Brother - in - law is not hen - pecked. It's because he loves her. What do you know, a single man!"
Du Tianchen was stunned for a moment and then retorted. "Do you have a wife?"
Li Jiuge added fuel to the fire. "Don't think our Second Brother doesn't have a wife, but he knows a lot."
Everyone walked along, laughing and chatting. Suddenly, a disciple came in front of Ji Yunxi. "Ji Yunxi, Master Rong Hua requests your presence."
Everyone was instantly stunned.
