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

Chapter 242 The Intense Competition in the World of Children
"Uncle Master..."

Bai He Tong'er wanted to ask something more, but then he saw Yu Ding suddenly turn his head, lean down and get close to his face, staring straight at him.

"Master...Master Uncle, what's wrong?"

Bai He Tong'er blushed and became somewhat embarrassed under the stare.

"You think you can't be dealt with?" Yu Ding turned and continued walking, saying indifferently, "Are you always this talkative?"

"No...no!" Baihe Tong'er muttered as he followed with his head down, and then began to talk to himself.

It turns out that although he was just a child, he served the sect leader, so his status in the Jade Void Palace was quite special. Even the elders like the Twelve Immortals had to treat him with great respect.

Of course, this politeness was only superficial. People only asked him to announce their arrival when they came to Yuxu Palace to see the sect leader. Apart from Uncle Taiyi joking with him, none of the other uncles had any private communication with him.

Later, even the usually taciturn Uncle Yu Ding started talking to him... and that was right when he had a headache.

It wasn't for any other reason than that one day the sect leader suddenly mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that the Water and Fire Attendants beside the Sage of Heaven had broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Although the sect leader didn't say anything else, his words sent a chill down his spine, making him feel a deep sense of crisis.

In their world of children, being able to serve a saint is considered to be at the pinnacle of the world in terms of treatment, status, cultivation, and so on.

This is a blessing that countless children could only dream of.

However, as children of saints, the competition and infighting among them is also very intense.

Sometimes it even concerns the dignity of the emperor...

The fact that that bastard Shuihuo Tong'er broke through to the Celestial Immortal Realm without a word has undoubtedly had a huge impact.

Think about it, if this gets out, it will surely be said that only the attendant of the Sage Tongtian has reached the Celestial Immortal realm, surpassing the attendants of the other Sages. How can the Sect Master be proud of that?
There are quite a few servants in Jade Void Palace, and he is not irreplaceable...

It was at this moment that Uncle Yu Ding struck up a conversation with him. He noticed that the usually taciturn Uncle Yu Ding had suddenly become talkative. But who would have thought that Uncle Yu Ding's few words were like an invisible hand parting the clouds and letting him see the blue sky, allowing him to successfully break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

This allowed him to keep his job...

Naturally, he became close to this senior uncle, and after hearing about the "heroic" deeds of this senior uncle's disciples at Yuxu Palace, he couldn't help but feel happy for Senior Uncle Yuding.

"Are you happy for me?"

Yu Ding's lips twitched. "Yes, your uncle has been very happy these past few years, except that every now and then my blood pressure spikes and my vision goes black."

If he hadn't already possessed the body of a deity, his blood pressure would probably have exploded...

"Yes, I also often send my blessings to my martial uncle."

The White Crane Boy smiled earnestly, "Master Uncle has countless outstanding disciples throughout the world..."

"This... is actually unnecessary!"

Yu Ding walked ahead with a dark face, gently massaging his temples as if he had a headache: "Actually, it's just that your uncle is lucky; the disciples he took in are quite promising."

"Oh, Uncle-Master is being too modest."

The White Crane Boy laughed and said, "If only one such outstanding disciple appears, it might be because the disciple is too excellent. But if they appear one after another, then... it is definitely because Uncle Master has taught his disciples well."

Yu Ding was taken aback, then looked up at the sky with a somewhat speechless and melancholy expression.

Why is it that no one believes the truth?
The two crossed the plaza and stepped onto the steps shrouded in ethereal mist.

Yu Ding looked up at the Jade Void Palace that was right in front of him, then turned to look at the White Crane Boy behind him who had suddenly fallen silent, and smiled helplessly: "What did you want to ask just now?"

The sooner he dies, the sooner he'll be reborn. When he comes out of the Jade Void Palace again, he'll be another good... cough, good disciple of Father Primordial!
The white crane boy quickly went from worried to happy, looking up in surprise: "Really?"

"But you are not allowed to ask any more strange or unusual questions... or inquire about my disciple." Yu Ding coughed and his face darkened.

The White Crane Boy nodded quickly, pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said expectantly, "Uncle-Master, could you give me some pointers... so that I can cultivate to become a Golden Immortal?" "Hmm?" Yu Ding was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.

The White Crane Boy's eyes gleamed as he said, "Let me surpass the Water and Fire Boys and become the number one among the disciples of a sage?"

"Huh?" Yu Ding's expression turned strange.

What the hell?

Number one in the pediatric world?

"As my uncle knows, the Water and Fire Child was enlightened earlier than me and received a few more years of teachings from the sages."

The White Crane Boy said with some worry, "If there are no unexpected events, he will break through to the Golden Immortal realm... which should be earlier than mine. My Uncle-Master said last time that our Jade Void lineage is no weaker than anyone else."

As the disciple of the Holy Master, wouldn't it be a disgrace to myself if I fell behind him?

Of course, it wouldn't matter if it were just my own face; a mere child's face isn't worth much. But I'm afraid my senior uncles would lose face too, but..."

"Is the competition in the pediatric world really that serious?" Yu Ding had mixed feelings.

It's all the fault of those lousy disciples. They've delayed his cultivation time. What if your master gets ganged up on again?
He could count on these disciples to team up with him to deal with that Seventh Attendant... well, it's not impossible!

Thinking of this, Yu Ding raised an eyebrow and his eyes lit up.

Those guys ganged up on him, and he's already accepted his Uncle Tongtian's apology gift, so it's not appropriate for him to cause trouble again. But if his disciple beats those bastards up...

How can an elder have the nerve to complain after being beaten by a junior?

The White Crane Boy excitedly looked up: "If I break through to the Golden Immortal realm first, and surpass that brat Shui Huo, then when word gets out, it will be a testament to the Jade Void Palace, right, Uncle-Master?"

"If you're a ghost, you should cultivate honestly, taking one step at a time. Young people shouldn't always think about taking crooked paths and shortcuts."

Yu Ding snorted and said, "My disciple is the result of years of hard work and gradual accumulation. You haven't accumulated anything, so what are you going to do with your talent? Do you even have any talent?"

"White Crane, haven't you noticed that your mind is in turmoil right now? You're no longer willing to work hard and stay focused. Maybe you should come to me when you've calmed down and encountered problems."

Having said that, he entered the gate of Yuxu Palace in a cheerful mood.

What I, your uncle, hate most in my life are scoundrels like you who drive involution in the industry...

Besides, even I, your uncle, am not a Golden Immortal yet, so why would I let you become a Golden Immortal?

Heh! You're dreaming!

My heart... is in turmoil?

Baihe Tong'er stood there, lost in thought, reflecting on the past few days. It seemed that... he had indeed stopped diligently cultivating.

My mind was filled with thoughts of how to get this senior uncle to guide me, so that I could become a Golden Immortal and surpass the attendants of the Water, Fire, and other saints...

"hiss……"

Upon realizing this, Baihe Tong'er's pupils contracted, and he gasped in fear. His senior uncle was indeed his senior uncle; he saw through Baihe Tong'er's dangerous mindset at a glance.

As he awoke from this state of mind, Baihe Tong'er felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, and his spiritual world suddenly became clear.

"This is..." Bai He exclaimed with some surprise, "The Celestial Immortal Realm... late stage?"

Inside the Jade Void Palace.

Yu Ding pushed open the door and carefully stepped inside, where he saw his master sitting on the Eight Treasures Cloud Throne.

"Disciple Yu Ding...pays respects to Master!" Yu Ding bowed respectfully, his heart pounding with trepidation.
