Gu Ying and the others were taken aback, and after they realized what had happened, their expressions turned grim.
——The "General" is known for being true to his word, a man whose words are golden across the entire "Pure Heaven"!
Since the "General" has spoken this way, Chen Yuan is bound to become his disciple!
But the proposal a moment ago was nothing more than a joke!
Thinking of this, Gu Ying's face became even more unsightly. He glanced at Chen Yuan, who was still caught up in the shock of reuniting with Zhou Guanwu, seemingly unaware, and couldn't help but speak up:
"'General,' should you perhaps give this more thought?"
The white-robed martial world guest, also unable to remain a spectator, quickly supported him as he saw someone speak first:
"Yes, 'General,' you are a saint of the military family, inheriting the Heavenly Weapon Battle Method from the Ancient Daoist Court. If you wish to accept a disciple, countless people on Taizhou Mountain would fight over it, just, just..."
Before finishing his sentence, he caught the "General"'s gaze, shuddered involuntarily, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.
"Just what?"
The tall figure sitting on the golden throne looked at him with interest: "Continue!"
The white-robed martial world guest grit his teeth but ultimately dared not say more, and switched his tone:
"Gu Ying's suggestion isn't wrong. Brother Guanwu's nephew has exceptional talent and is indeed the ideal choice for the 'General's' disciple."
The others, seeing him speak like this, secretly felt disdain.
However, upon seeing the "General"'s gaze, everyone fell silent without any objections, even Gu Ying, who had initially spoken in jest, had to concede.
Zhou Guanwu glanced around, noticing no one spoke, but he frowned inwardly: "What good fortune!"
At this thought, Zhou Guanwu directly transmitted to Chen Yuan: "Now is not the time to dwell on the past, you should first accept the 'General's' offer!"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan gave him a deep look, then shifted his gaze to the "General," and without hesitation said:
"It's not that I don't wish to, but what I cultivate is the Absolute Blade, making it difficult to switch to other cultivation techniques."
These words were not mere excuses; the Absolute Blade Inheritance was indeed strange to the extreme, greatly affecting one's mind.
The General seemed to have anticipated his response and said with a laugh: "It's merely a remnant inheritance of the 'Ten Absolutes'.
"Once you inherit my martial legacy, you'll naturally be able to control that magic with your cultivation.
"Whether you cultivate the Heartless Blade or the Affectionate Blade then will be up to your own intention."
Chen Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Though he'd never heard of the "Ten Absolutes" inheritance, it seemed like there might be a way to resolve the Absolute Blade's issues.
However, he remained confused as to why the "General" would want to accept him as a disciple.
"Why do you wish to accept me as a disciple?"
Gu Ying and others were once again shocked, not expecting that he would behave this way toward the "General's" offer to accept a disciple.
Zhou Guanwu, who had initially reminded him, again transmitted urging him to accept immediately.
"Truly, the ignorant is fearless. Brother Guanwu, it seems you didn't properly set the rules when inviting him into 'Pure Heaven'!" Gu Ying sneered.
The white-robed martial world guest also appeared grim, looking at Chen Yuan and said: "Don't be ungrateful!"
Although those standing under other Buddha statues from "Pure Heaven" didn't speak up, their expressions also reflected dissatisfaction.
Others would fight for such an opportunity, yet Chen Yuan was hesitant and questioned it.
At this moment, the "General" slightly raised his hand, and amidst the veil surrounding his ambiguous face, only the Celestial Halberd beside him showed some movement.
As everyone thought he might get angry, the "General" instead seriously replied:
"Your talent is sufficient to inherit my military family legacy, and secondly, I greatly appreciate your temperament."
The "General" paused, looking at Chen Yuan with deep significance: "Not everyone dares to appear before me, especially those with ulterior motives and malice toward my 'Pure Land of Bliss'!"
"Is this answer satisfactory to you?"
Chen Yuan discerned the implications in his words, but his face remained calm.
He could see that the "General" was using Qimen methods, whether through divination or deduction.
Perhaps his infiltration schemes within "Pure Heaven" were also detected by the "General."
But due to Zhou Guanwu's recent identity revelation, his mind was calm, without any fluctuation.
Chen Yuan looked at the serene eyes of the "General", glimpsed at the surrounding "Pure Heaven" members with the corner of his eye, and Zhou Guanwu whose expression was slightly somber, and slowly knelt on one knee:
"Disciple greets Master!"
"Hahaha... good, good!"
Seeing him agree, the "General" high on the throne repeatedly praised, suddenly stood up and said:
"It seems today's ceremony is my greatest harvest, I shall wait..."
"Chen Yuan." Zhou Guanwu timely spoke up.
"When Chen Yuan arrives at Taizhou Mountain, I will hold a grand acceptance ceremony for him, at which time everyone will be witnesses."
The "General's" voice was loud and slightly joyful, looking at Chen Yuan with increasingly friendly eyes, at least from Gu Ying and others' perspective, he seemed genuinely pleased to accept this disciple.
Gu Ying and several others on the "Pure Heaven" lotus platforms exchanged glances, feeling helpless, had to bow and say:
"Congratulations, 'General'!"
"The same to you, the same. Hahaha..."
Listening to the voices around him, Chen Yuan seemed to be in a dream.
Clearly, the previous commotion because of the changes in Kyoto Prefecture, the Great Master killing the Third Master prompted Gu Ying to take action.
He originally thought that upon arriving here, the "General" would be furious about it, but that was not the case.
The "General" had his own ways of investigation, exhibiting a very indifferent yet rightful upper-hand attitude, as if the Third Master hiding in Kyoto Academy was just dead.
