Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, a servant rushed over to report, “Reporting to the Clan Leader, the sect has sent someone over, and it’s the First Personal Disciple!”

Everyone immediately revealed incredulous expressions, “Are you sure? Quickly bring him here, and don’t neglect him.”

“Why would the sect send someone here all of a sudden? Could it be that they know that Qingyuan is going to be the next head of the clan, so they sent someone here to congratulate him?”

“That’s absolutely right. The personal disciple must be here for Gu Qingyuan. After all, who else has the right to do so besides him?”

“Congratulations, Second Elder. Even the sect has sent someone here. It seems that Qingyuan’s future is bound to be limitless. Don’t forget about us in the future.”

“Sure, sure. We’re all from the same sect. I’ll take care of you.”

Gu Qingyuan was the direct descendant of the Second Elder, so everyone congratulated him. Second Elder was radiant with joy as he enjoyed his time in the limelight. They became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Under the envious or envious gazes of others, the Second Elder was calm and collected. However, he could not hide the pride and joy on his face.

“What are you all talking about? Maybe the sect has something important to tell Qingyuan.”

Someone guessed, “Would there be a double celebration today? Could it be that Qingyuan has become a personal disciple and the sect has sent someone to inform him?”

Gu Zhen’an’s eyes lit up, and so did the Second Elder’s. Perhaps it was possible, and they became even more excited.

Gu Qingyuan’s heart was burning with excitement. What an honor it was to be a personal disciple! It was the dream of every disciple.

The Second Elder pretended to be calm. “Don’t make wild guesses here. Maybe the sect is looking for Qingyuan for something. After all, he just entered the inner sect not long ago. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for him to become a personal disciple so soon.”

“Second Elder, you’re wrong. Personal disciples are all based on their strength and cultivation. Moreover, didn’t Qingyuan say that some elders value him more? Even if he doesn’t become a personal disciple now, I believe it’s only a matter of time.”

“Exactly.”

“Second Elder’s teaching is good. His disciples eventually become personal disciples. He’s really a role model for us to learn from.”

Second Elder was overjoyed by the praise, but he maintained a calm expression on his face. “Everyone, you are flattering me. Actually, this is all Qingyuan’s own hard work. We are just giving him some pointers.”

Everyone complimented and flattered him as if Gu Qingyuan had already become a personal disciple. Just when the atmosphere was getting heated up, there was an inappropriate comment.

“He hasn’t even become a personal disciple yet, and you guys are celebrating? If he didn’t get it, wouldn’t it be very awkward?”

Suddenly, everyone fell quiet, and their expressions were stiff.

The person who said this was Gu Xi.

The Second Elder and Gu Qingyuan had cold looks on their faces. No matter who it was, anyone would feel unhappy if someone spoiled their parade while they were celebrating.

“This disciple is right.”

The Second Elder’s expression returned to normal and he glanced at Gu Xi. Gu Qingyuan, on the other hand, was still young, and he could not keep his cool. He glared at Gu Xi.

From Gu Xi’s attitude at the door to the provocation just now, no one had ever dared to oppose Gu Qingyuan like this. Although Gu Xi was telling the truth, it sounded extremely harsh to Gu Qingyuan.

Immediately, Gu Qingyuan’s supporters said, “There’s no place for a good-for-nothing like you here. Why don’t you take a look at yourself before speaking?”

Just when the atmosphere turned cold, the servant also came with the personal disciples of the sect. The purple clothes were extremely luxurious. Gu Qingyuan could not help but stare at them, thinking that he would be able to wear such clothes soon. He became even more excited.

“I’m Fang Heng, the disciple of the Sect Leader, Shen Tianyi.”

The crowd was astonished. Everyone knew who Fang Heng was. He was the infamous personal disciple of the Sect Leader.

Gu Qingyuan quickly went up to him and said enthusiastically, “I didn’t know that Senior Brother Fang had come to grace us with your presence. I’m sorry for not welcoming you.”

Fang Heng was about to say something when the Second Elder grabbed his hand. The smile on his face was a little ingratiating. “Did the sect also receive the news? Did they ask you to come to celebrate with us?”

He was referring to the matter of Gu Qingyuan being internally appointed as the successor, but Fang Heng thought that the other party was referring to the fact that the sect already knew Gu Xi’s true strength.

Thus, a wonderful misunderstanding happened.

“Yes, the Sect Leader was very happy when he found out...”

The smile on the Second Elder’s face became even brighter, and he was a little surprised. “Even the Sect Leader was alarmed. Actually, for such a small matter, it’s fine to just send a disciple over. There’s no need for you to come personally.”

The other members of the Gu Clan looked on with even more fervent gazes. They did not expect Shen Tianyi to take Gu Qingyuan so seriously. It seemed certain that Gu Qingyuan was going to become a personal disciple.

Fang Heng shook his head, “This is something big. The Sect Leader takes it very seriously. You must make sure that I greet the Eldest Brother with the highest courtesy.”

The crowd gasped and could not help but ask, “Did you just say ‘Eldest Brother’?”

Fang Heng nodded, “The Sect Leader said that he would make an exception and promote him to the position of the First Personal Disciple. I hope to learn from him.”

Both Gu Zhen’an and the Second Elder looked as if they were in a dream, “Did I hear it wrong...”

The First Personal Disciple of the Sect Leader himself! How noble his status was! It could be said that almost no one could compete with such a status, except for a few elders.

Even Gu Qingyuan showed an extremely shocked expression. He could not believe that such a fortune had fallen on his head. “The Sect Leader actually thinks so highly of me.”

Hearing this, Fang Heng thought that he was Gu Xi. After all, as the personal disciple of the Sect Leader, he was either cultivating in seclusion or training outside. He rarely interacted with the inner sect disciples, and he could not remember them all.

Fang Heng nodded and said, “Senior Brother, please follow me back immediately. The Sect Leader and a few elders are waiting for you.”

He stretched out his hand, and the purple jade pendant lay there quietly like an auspicious cloud. Spiritual energy surrounded it, looking almost solid. The Immortal crane carved on it looked extremely life-like. At a glance, one could tell that it was a rare Spirit Tool.

Even the Second Elder and Gu Zhen’an had rarely seen such a treasure.

“This is the identity jade token given to you by the Sect Leader. It is carved out of a hundred-year-old purple Spirit Jade. Wearing it can gather powers, and it also contains the Sect Leader’s spiritual sense.”

At this moment, Gu Qingyuan and the Second Elder felt as if they were in the clouds, as if they were in a dream.

The other members of the Gu Clan were even more excited when they heard this. After all, this was the glory of the entire clan, so they started to congratulate him again. “Congratulations, Second Elder.”

“Qingyuan has such a promising future at such a young age, and he’s even received the sect’s attention and the Sect Leader’s adoration.”

Gu Qingyuan quickly took out the jade pendant. “There’s no time to lose. Then let’s set off now. Don’t let the Sect Leader wait too long.”

However, Fang Heng finally realized that something was wrong.
