Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 216 Does the Immortal have any plans or intentions to take on more disciples?

"Oh...this is interesting!"

In the distance, Yuan Hong, who had been watching the scene closely, sighed, a look of envy in his eyes.

That person was also his master, but he didn't know when he would be able to openly and honestly call him master in front of everyone!

On the other side, for a moment, all the gods and heavenly soldiers seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.

Their faces were filled with surprise, astonishment, disbelief, and even a hint of resentment.

Even Fu Yuanxian was slightly taken aback and looked at Yu Ding and Yang Jian and his disciple with some surprise.

"Disciple, you..."

Hey, I'm completely innocent and haven't cheated anyone out of money or sex, so what are you all complaining about... Under the scrutiny of countless eyes, even Yu Ding, who has seen a lot, felt a little awkward at this moment.

After all, he had inquired about it. Back then, Yang Jian caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Although he later successfully cleared his name and became a civil servant, he also became the most unpopular person within the Heavenly Court.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian glanced indifferently at the assembled gods and celestial soldiers, instantly startling everyone.

To others, Yang Jian was infamous, but to those who had experienced it firsthand...
They had personally witnessed and experienced Yang Jian's rampage from the South Heavenly Gate all the way up to the Thirty-Three Heavens; it was a nightmare for them.

It can be said that every move Yang Jian made after his appearance has touched their hearts, making them unable to help but fear him.

"Ah!"

Yang Jian chuckled and looked at Yu Ding with a slight smile, "What, does acknowledging your disciple as a student... make your master lose face?"

No, you've really made your teacher look good... Yu Ding could tell from Yang Jian's expression that the kid was doing it on purpose!
Looking at the smiling Yang Jian, Yu Ding sighed. He knew he had to pamper his disciple. He then coughed and said:

"Fellow immortals, this Yang Jian is my disciple. He was young and impetuous in the past and caused you all a lot of trouble."

I apologize to you all for my lax discipline. I know you all refrained from holding him accountable last time because of his youth, and I thank you for that..."

As he spoke, Yu Ding solemnly prepared to bow to the crowd.

"Master, I..." Yang Jian panicked upon seeing this.

Yu Ding immediately glanced at him, his sharp gaze freezing Yang Jian in place. In the end, he could only sigh and watch quietly.

How could he not know that Yu Ding's salute was for him?

Yu Ding looked at everyone. He wasn't bowing because he was afraid of the Heavenly Court. With the Heavenly Emperor and the Golden Mother absent, the Jade Void F4 could sweep through the Heavenly Court on their own.

But no!

After all, everywhere involves more than just fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions, and this prehistoric world is no exception.

Yang Jian wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, killing his way through the land and offending many people, and he also had a rather arrogant personality.

Making Yang Jian apologize would be even more painful than beating him up. Since that's the case, it's only natural that his master should step in and smooth things over.

"You're too kind, Immortal!"

"You're too kind to us..."

Upon seeing Yu Ding bow, the gods were startled and returned the bow. As they exchanged glances, much of their resentment dissipated.

Jade Cauldron Immortal... he really is someone they both love and hate!
Hatred is what taught the disciples to chop them up, and not content with just one beating, they're here today to whip their corpses a second time...

This love, of course, brought them many benefits, such as modifying the Heavenly Court so that they could reincarnate and experience tribulations when their love tribulations arrived.

At this moment, this celestial being, for the sake of his disciple, did not hesitate to apologize to these insignificant celestial soldiers...

Suddenly, all the gods and heavenly soldiers were moved.

If the adorable one who taught Yang Jian is the Jade Cauldron Immortal... why does it suddenly seem not so unacceptable?
After all, Erlang Shen had wounded and killed them, and the immortal had also used a lot of effort to revive and heal them, right?

Even after participating in such a great battle, it seems my cultivation level has increased significantly!
From beginning to end, they only suffered some pain, but in exchange for increased cultivation... it was worth it.

Furthermore, although Erlang Shen destroyed the buildings of the Heavenly Court, the immortal still worked diligently with his fellow disciples to repair them!

Such care for his disciple and his public-spiritedness make him a model of virtue among immortals.

The immortals exchanged glances and laughed, saying, "It's a trivial matter, nothing for you to worry about, Master!"

They lost face in front of Yang Jian last time.

Now that Master Yuding has given them a way out, they can't refuse.

At this moment, a voice came: "To be honest, Erlang Shen's act of saving his mother moved heaven and earth, and all living beings in the Three Realms were moved. We are not heartless either."

But duty calls, and I can't just stand by and watch; I have to step in. By the way, was the True Lord alright afterward...?

Upon hearing this, the smiles of the gods who were returning the greeting to the jade tripod froze.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a divine general dressed in armor.

The divine general was slightly taken aback, and the immortals beside him all stepped aside, some as if afraid they couldn't avoid him.

Good grief, the Jade Cauldron Immortal was giving you a way out, and you got all arrogant.

If you're going to brag, go ahead, but don't drag us into it.

"Thank you all for your magnanimity, fellow immortals and Heavenly soldiers. I am deeply grateful."

Yu Ding smiled and bowed again: "In the future, if any of you encounter any difficulties, you are welcome to come to Yuquan Mountain to seek my help."

Let's draw up the picture first, and whether it will be helpful later... that's another story!
Anyway, he just told them to come and find it, he didn't say that he would grant their every request after they found it, right?
This guy… Taiyi shook his head inwardly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He thought Yu Ding was going to do everyone present a favor for his disciple.

Is this the result?

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the immortals' eyes lit up immediately, and their eyes shone as they looked at the jade cauldron.

Isn't what Immortal Yuding saying just a way of saying he owes someone a favor?

The value of a favor from a powerful person cannot be measured by anything.

Looking at Yu Ding again, why does this immortal seem more and more extraordinary, making people feel closer to him?
However, a mystery that has remained unsolved since the beginning of time has finally been answered.

Back then, when Yang Jian emerged with his divine skills perfected, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court, split the mountain to rescue his mother, and became famous throughout the prehistoric world, a question caught the attention of the gods and heavenly soldiers who were merely background figures.

That is, who is Erlang Shen's master?
Or rather, which little (Wang) cutie (eight) egg taught Yang Jian, such a peerless villain who wields an axe and hacks his way up from the South Heavenly Gate to the Thirty-Three Heavens?

Of course, if they can train a disciple like Yang Jian, then they definitely can't beat him in a fight.

They didn't mean anything by it; they just wanted to check on his whole family whenever they had some free time.

This is the most direct thought of the grassroots soldiers.

After all, only the person who gets hit by the axe knows the pain. Is it too much for them to offer a greeting?

Besides the heavenly soldiers, the gods also wanted to extend their greetings to that old man.

After all, the guy who trained Yang Jian was too wicked.

You can say that teaching them supernatural powers and martial arts is one thing, but teaching them the Heavenly Laws of the Upper Realm and the Laws of the Lower Realm is another; they know more about the law than their colleagues who uphold the Heavenly Laws. This means that when they try to fight, they can't win, and when they try to argue, they can't win either. Can you believe how infuriating that is?

When this news reached the prehistoric world, it caused quite a stir. After all, from the time when the Heavenly Emperor's sister descended to the mortal realm to when Yang Jian attacked the Heavenly Court, it had only been a dozen or twenty years at most.

Twenty years!

Some immortals take a nap longer than this, and in that short time, such an extraordinary descendant suddenly appeared.

To be honest, they didn't want to be shocked, but the younger generation's behavior wouldn't allow it!

Later, three powerful figures from the Chan Sect, Yu Ding, Tai Yi, and Huang Long, came to the rescue and revealed that Yang Jian was a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

Since he is a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect... then it's easy to guess!
Some busybodies have conducted a thorough analysis: Look, Yang Jian is a third-generation disciple, so his master must be a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

Among the second-generation disciples, there were many outer disciples, but only a dozen or so could be considered true disciples of the sage.

The three immortals, Yu Ding, Tai Yi, and Huang Long, came to the rescue, repairing the Heavenly Court destroyed by Yang Jian and treating everyone's injuries.

Therefore, we can rule out these three first.

After all, his disciple had caused such a huge disaster. How dare the master come to the Heavenly Court and act recklessly in front of the Heavenly Emperor?
Excluding these three, there are only nine of the Twelve Golden Immortals left, plus Yun Zhongzi and the Antarctic Immortal, making a total of eleven.

I never imagined that you, Immortal Jade Cauldron, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were actually...

Despite the shock, after Yu Ding apologized and offered many favors, everyone's goodwill towards him continued to rise rapidly.

Furthermore, they also obtained the answers to the unsolved mystery, so it wasn't a bad deal.

"Um...Immortal Jade Cauldron, I have another question to ask you." At this moment, a divine general, supporting his bleeding arm, said with a wry smile.

Yu Ding asked gently, "What would this general like to ask?"

The divine general glanced at Yang Jian, then at Long Ji, who stood with his sword drawn and a roc soaring overhead, and asked with a complex expression, "May I ask, Immortal, are there any disciples who have not yet completed their apprenticeship?"

Swish!Swish!Swish!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Yu Ding's mouth again, holding their breath and waiting for the answer.

Playing around is fine, but we can't joke about the dignity of the Heavenly Court!

The fact that both disciples caused such a commotion in the heavens... it's terrifying to think about!
Uh… Yu Ding sighed inwardly. Sure enough, Yang Jian and Long Ji had already made the connection with these guys.

If they knew that Yuan Hong and that Xiao Fei were also disciples of Yu Ding,
They might not be hunted down by the Heavenly Court, but being blacklisted by the Heavenly Court is almost certain.

You say that the disciples you've taught all go against the Heavenly Court. This once or twice is just a coincidence, but the third or fourth time, you say it wasn't at his behest... Even he himself doesn't believe it.

Seeing Yu Ding's embarrassed expression, Taiyi, who wanted to laugh but couldn't, could only cough.

These are his dearest relatives and friends, his brothers and sisters; he has to hold back!
"To be honest, I currently only have one servant boy under my tutelage, and no other disciples," Yu Ding said with a slight smile.

Yu Ding, do you dare to tell me about Yuan Hong and that bird...? Taiyi smiled silently to himself.

They usually boast about their virtuous teachings, but look at what they've produced: some are tearing down houses, some are killing their uncles, and some are filing lawsuits against the emperor...

Looking back now, only Yuan Hong was somewhat decent; he was just seeking justice after being wronged.

Seeing Yu Ding's disciples instantly made him lose any desire to learn from Yu Ding.

Compared to these troublemakers, his disciple Lingzhuzi is incredibly well-behaved, isn't he?
"Does the immortal have any plans or intentions to take on disciples in the future?" another immortal asked.

Upon hearing this, all the gods, immortals, and heavenly soldiers in the Heavenly Court immediately perked up their ears.

Including this prince, they have already undergone the tempering of the fourth round of those who challenged the Heavenly Palace. It is a miracle that their Dao hearts have been able to hold on until today without collapsing.

I originally thought that serving in the Heavenly Court would be a life of luxury and prestige, but now it seems... even being a heavenly soldier isn't easy!

Yu Ding coughed lightly: "To be honest, with a great calamity approaching, I have no intention of taking on any more disciples."

"Does the immortal have any plans to take on a total of several disciples throughout his life?" someone asked again.

Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, Long Ji, and the others pricked up their ears, wondering how many more people would take away the love for their teachers.

Xiao Fei, who had transformed into the true form of a Peng bird, pouted and said, "I'm just a registered user, I won't argue with you!"
Why don't you ask me how many children I've had...? Yu Ding smiled faintly, "It's up to fate!"

"Master!" Longji called out helplessly.

It seems that having a master who is too outstanding is not a good thing; he becomes the center of attention wherever he goes.

So, Master, are you here to support your disciple, or to enjoy the spotlight?
Yu Ding coughed lightly and immediately said loudly, "By the way, Senior Brother Taiyi, you just said that the Old Man of the Moon didn't say that... What do you mean by that?"

These guys almost turned his event to support his apprentice into a press conference.

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention immediately shifted from that little incident to Taiyi Zhenren.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

First came Yu Ding, then Tai Yi; two of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void arrived one after another—one was Master Long Ji, and the other was his senior uncle…

Anyone with eyes can see that these two are pretending to be watching the show; their real intention is to support their junior!
On the other side was Immortal Fu Yuan...

If Immortal Fu Yuan doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid things will be difficult to resolve peacefully today.

Thinking of this, everyone looked around and couldn't help but worry about the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court has truly suffered many calamities these past few years...

Taiyi smiled slightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, an old man covered by a red veil collapsed drunk in the middle of the field.

"The Matchmaker?" the crowd exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person in the center of the room.

It is indeed—the Matchmaker!
When Fu Yuanxian saw the newcomer, his expression changed slightly. Yu Ding glanced at Yang Jian and Taiyi, seemingly lost in thought.

He seemed to know why Taiyi and Yang Jian had come together.

It was most likely that Taiyi called upon Yang Jian, and with the help of Xiaotianquan, they finally found the key figure, the Old Man Under the Moon.

"Disciple, where is that little thief?" Yu Ding asked again.

Longji calmly said, "His body and soul are completely destroyed; he is as dead as can be."

"Not bad!"

Taiyi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and laughed, "This junior disciple is quite insightful."

"Not bad my ass..." Yu Ding glanced at Taiyi speechlessly. Judging from Long Ji's tone, this witness was really gone. He wondered if there would still be a person like Hong Jin in the future.

"Ok?"

The gods and heavenly soldiers were startled upon hearing this, and a chill ran down their spines.

Only now did they realize that they had just narrowly escaped death.

"Immortal Elder...is there anything else to say?"

Yu Ding's eyes flashed, and he smiled as he glanced at the Old Man of the Moon, who was fast asleep in the middle of the room.
