It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

As Huoyun Zhenjun led the angry and resentful Liu Yunfei away, the entire audience sighed with emotion.

It seems that Xingyue Peak and Huoyun Peak have clashed today, and it's likely that Xingyue Peak won't have many peaceful days in the future.

Because among the nine peaks, Fire Cloud Peak ranks third in terms of strength and foundation.

Then everyone turned their attention to Chen Ping. If it weren't for what Chen Ping said earlier, none of this would have happened.

If Chen Ping had been willing to refuse Ye Qingxue's offer to join, none of this would have happened.

Chen Ping has now completely offended Liu Yunfei and Huoyun Zhenjun.

They didn't understand why Chen Ping spoke with such arrogance.

He was clearly a useless body tempering talent and rarely left Xingyue Peak.

Does he really think that with Murong Yue protecting him, he can do whatever he wants in the Qingxuan Sect?

Isn't he being too naive? Huoyun Zhenjun is not someone to be trifled with; he has a fiery temper and is vengeful.

The chiefs of each peak looked at Chen Ping and all shook their heads, feeling that Chen Ping was really too rash and didn't know how to recognize his own position.

He would only bring trouble to Xingyue Peak. Then they looked at Ye Qingxue and shook their heads repeatedly.

Ye Qingxue's joining Xingyue Peak will likely bring her bad luck as well.

Chen Ping, however, didn't care. What did he have to be afraid of?

He continued looking at Ye Qingxue and said calmly.

"Now that you have joined my Star Moon Peak, you are a disciple of Star Moon Peak. In the Azure Profound Sect, you don't need to be afraid of anyone; I will protect you."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, his expression remained calm.

Because he knew that Ye Qingxue was one of the few people who had seen him in action.

As expected, Ye Qingxue was overjoyed after hearing Chen Ping's words, and did not doubt Chen Ping's tone at all.

Ye Qingxue then knelt down on one knee.

"This disciple thanks Elder Chen."

Everyone shook their heads as they looked at Ye Qingxue. They thought that Ye Qingxue probably didn't know that Chen Ping was a good-for-nothing, which was why she treated him so respectfully.

If they knew that Chen Ping was a well-known good-for-nothing in the Qingxuan Sect, who hadn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage in thirty years, they would be filled with regret.

However, Ye Qingxue really didn't care about the opinions of those around her.

She hesitated to get up because she had come to Qingxuan Sect to become Chen Ping's disciple.

Although it may be presumptuous to say this now.

But she still mustered her courage, partly out of admiration for Chen Ping, and partly because she longed to become stronger quickly so that she could avenge her family.

"I have one more request."

Ye Qingxue spoke again, her tone respectful.

"No need for that, go ahead and say it," Chen Ping waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.

He was still quite unaccustomed to being treated like this by others, even kneeling on one knee, like a marriage proposal.

"This disciple humbly requests to become Elder Chen's disciple; please accept me as your apprentice!"

After saying this, Ye Qingxue blushed, unsure whether Chen Ping would refuse her.

Previously, as a princess of the Ye family, she was born noble and always others bowed to her.

This was her first time becoming someone's apprentice, and she felt both nervous and excited.

What the hell!

Everyone was stunned once again.

What? Ye Qingxue actually wants to become Chen Ping's disciple?

I'm really impressed!

Everyone looked at Ye Qingxue, no longer showing the surprise they had felt when they first met her, when she possessed a seventh-grade Heavenly Talent.

In their eyes, Ye Qingxue was a beautiful and talented girl, but not very bright.

He actually wants to become Chen Ping's apprentice?

This was something they never expected.

Even Lu Youran and the disciples of Xingyue Peak were completely baffled at this moment.

They then realized what was happening.

It seems that Ye Qingxue came here for Chen Ping from the very beginning.

That's why she didn't care about becoming an ordinary disciple of Xingyue Peak.

Everyone turned their gaze to Chen Ping, their expressions complex, unsure of what to say.

Only in the distance, Yun Muyao and Wang Qing remained calm and composed.

They knew that Ye Qingxue was amazed by Chen Ping's skill in killing Xuehai Zhenren with a single sword strike, which was why she wanted to become Chen Ping's disciple.

They could understand, given how dangerous and desperate the moment was.

Chen Ping stepped forward, descending like a god. His unparalleled elegance and sword-wielding prowess were like that of a sword immortal slaying his enemies. Anyone would admire and respect him.

Chen Ping looked at Ye Qingxue, who actually wanted to become his disciple, and looked troubled.

To be honest, ever since that day I casually took in Xiao Rufeng, who possessed Saint-level aptitude and the Myriad Tribulations Battle Body...

To be honest, he no longer thinks highly of Ye Qingxue, who has a Heavenly-level aptitude.

To become his disciple, one must at least have Saint-level aptitude, right?

Moreover, Chen Ping did not want to take on any apprentices.

These days, he has even left Xiao Rufeng to his own devices.

Give him some cultivation resources and let him cultivate on his own.

Taking on apprentices is too much trouble.

Seeing Chen Ping's hesitant expression, Ye Qingxue knew that he probably didn't like her, and her face instantly showed disappointment.

Chen Ping looked at Ye Qingxue's aggrieved expression.

Then I thought about it again.

He invited Ye Qingxue to join the Qingxuan Sect because of a system task.

Now that Ye Qingxue has arrived and specifically asked to become his disciple, it's clear she's here for him.

He remembered that Ye Qingxue had once helped him complete a system task.

Chen Ping waved his hand.

"Fine, fine, I'll accept you as a disciple on a nominal basis."

Chen Ping thought to himself, "I'd better not become a true disciple; it's too much trouble."

Being a nominal disciple is enough.

At this moment, everyone present watched Chen Ping ponder for a moment, his attitude hesitant and indecisive.

Only in the end did they reluctantly accept Ye Qingxue as a disciple under a nominal name.

No, what does Chen Ping mean by this?

What does that tone, that attitude, that hesitant expression mean?

It's as if accepting a seventh-grade Heavenly Realm cultivator like Ye Qingxue is beneath him.

Is a talent at the seventh rank of the Heaven level really that bad?

At this moment, the peak master of Rain Leaf Peak felt like a clown.

He personally stepped forward and made a solemn promise, wanting to take Ye Qingxue as his disciple.

However, Ye Qingxue went straight to Chen Ping as her master, and Chen Ping seemed reluctant, struggling for a long time before finally accepting her as a disciple.

This is a slap in the face for him; his face is practically swollen from the slap today.

The peak master of Rain Leaf Peak sighed deeply, then turned and left, as he was too ashamed to stay there any longer.

However, Ye Qingxue paid no attention to the gazes of others; she only heard that Chen Ping had agreed to accept her as a disciple.

I was so excited I almost jumped up; I had finally fulfilled my dream.

What good is a disciple in name only?

She felt that revenge was possible as long as she could become Chen Ping's disciple.

In Ye Qingxue's mind, Chen Ping was a true reclusive master who didn't even put Tribulation Transcending stage experts in his eyes.

Then Ye Qingxue looked at Chen Ping and said excitedly.

"Disciple greets Master."

Chen Ping nodded.

Now that he has accepted Ye Qingxue as his disciple, even if she is only a nominal disciple, he will take her seriously.
