The elders in the hall were surprised. Even though the inner-sect disciples were qualified to be assigned to the elders for personal guidance, it was merely a qualification. In reality, only a few lucky inner-sect disciples could get a master. There were many inner-sect disciples in the sect, but there were only a few dozen elders around. Naturally, not everyone could get a master. Moreover, some elders were not willing to guide disciples at all.

The Sect Grand Elder had asked the elders this question in public, so he obviously wanted to help Su Wan’er. Since the Sect Grand Elder had asked so publicly, someone would have to reply to him. Otherwise, they would not be showing respect to the Sect Grand Elder.

There were quite a few elders around, yet all of them fell silent at that moment. If she was a talented disciple, it would not be a problem for the elders to recruit her as a disciple and take her under their wing. However, Su Wan’er was merely a low-class outer-sect disciple. Nobody knew whether she was talented or not. Besides, outer-sect disciples usually had low cultivation, and their masters would need to start training them from scratch. Therefore, few elders were willing to accept people like this as their disciple.

However, since the Sect Grand Elder had raised the question in public, surely someone would need to take her as a disciple. Otherwise, they would be offending the Sect Grand Elder.

“Sect Grand Elder, since Su Wan’er has become an inner-sect disciple, I will take her as my disciple,” a beautiful middle-aged woman said as she stepped forward.

As she looked at Su Wan’er, the beautiful middle-aged woman’s smiled. The woman was dressed in a fine outfit and was adorned with jewelry. In between her brows was a glint of malice which could not be concealed. She did not look amiable.

As Wan’er saw the beautiful middle-aged woman step forward, her face instantly turned pale. Panic filled her eyes, as though she had seen a ferocious beast.

The surrounding elders were stunned when they saw who had offered to take Wan’er as a disciple. The next moment, they seemed to have recalled something and began to smile as they understood what was going on. Their smiles hid a profound meaning.

However, Sect Grand Elder Wang He frowned slightly and glanced at Wan’er. Then, he calmly asked, “Other than Elder Fu, is there any other elder who wants to take Su Wan’er as their disciple?”

“Sect Grand Elder, as you can see, I am the only female elder here. It will be inconvenient for other elders to take Wan’er as their disciple. Besides, they are usually busy with sect affairs and most of them have disciples already. So, it will most likely be inappropriate for them to accept Su Wan’er,” the beautiful middle-aged woman said with a smile. As she spoke, she gave the surrounding elders a glance.

When the elders saw her gaze, they fell silent one by one. Everyone was clear of Elder Fu’s intention. If they spoke up now and fought over Su Wan’er with her, they would offend her. Moreover, it was true that they were reluctant to accept Su Wan’er, an outer-sect disciple, as their disciple.

“Sect Grand Elder, it is unsuitable for Elder Fu to take Wan’er as her disciple. I have been focusing all my energy on cultivating, and I do not have any disciple under me at the moment. I am willing to take Wan’er as my disciple.” A voice suddenly sounded from outside, and a person entered the hall. It was a middle-aged woman, whose attire was practical and less fancy than that of Elder Fu.

The moment this person entered the hall, she glanced coldly at Elder Fu.

“Elder Mei Yixuan, I was the first to say that I would take Su Wan’er as my disciple. Could it be that you are trying to take a disciple from me?” Elder Fu’s expression turned cold the moment she saw this middle-aged woman.

“Fu Yu, don’t go overboard. Everyone knows what happened in the past. Wan’er is just a kid. Are you going to make her life difficult too?” Mei Yixuan confronted her coldly.

When Mei Yixuan made her appearance in the hall, all the elders looked at each other in dismay. They all decided to keep silent, distancing themselves from this matter. Nobody was willing to draw trouble upon themselves.

Wan’er was pale and didn’t dare to look at Fu Yu at all. She stood in the hall, trembling.

Upon hearing Mei Yixuan’s words, the facial expressions of the elders in the hall changed slightly. Even though all of them knew what had happened, few of them dared to talk about it in public.

“Mei Yixuan, are you seeking death?” Fu Yu stared at Mei Yixuan grimly. Mei Yixuan was actually daring to threaten an elder! She was completely audacious.

“Sect Grand Elder, in my opinion, recruiting a disciple is a matter that involves two parties. We should ask Wan’er’s opinion about it. Since both Fu Yu and I are willing to take Wan’er as our disciple, it’s up to her to choose who she wants,” Mei Yixuan said to Sect Grand Elder Wang He, who was sitting at the head seat. She ignored Fu Yu completely.

“Su Wan’er, whom do you choose as your master?” Wang He looked at Su Wan’er.

“Wan’er hopes that I can have Elder Mei Yixuan as my master,” Wan’er answered quickly, out of fear that Sect Grand Elder might assign Fu Yu as her master.

“Hmm. Since you said so, then…” Wang He nodded.

“Sect Grand Elder, please think carefully before you decide. Mei Yixuan is not qualified to fight with me.” Fu Yu interrupted Sect Grand Elder’s sentence. Her tone was indifferent.

Wang He’s face turned cold. Expressionlessly, he said, “This matter has been decided and does not require any further discussion. An inner-sect disciple has the power to choose their master. From now on, Su Wan’er will be a disciple under Mei Yixuan.”

“The Sect Grand Elder is wise indeed,” Mei Yixuan said while bowing. The Sect Grand Elder was clearly helping Wan’er.

The other elders in the hall remained silent as though they were mummies. They did not join in the argument.

“This makes no sense! Very well then. It seems like many of you are still unclear of who runs the Five Tigers Sect now. Wang He, just you wait.” Fu Yu coldly snorted and left promptly. She had actually threatened the Sect Grand Elder in front of everyone.

Wang He’s expression was ugly beyond compare. As he stared at Fu Yu’s silhouette, his fists were clenched tightly.

All the elders in the hall lowered their heads, as though they had seen nothing. They could not afford to offend any party, so nobody dared to speak at the moment.

Even though Fu Yu was an elder of the Five Tigers Sect, she was also the wife of the young sect leader. Of course, this did not make her important enough to look down on the Sect Grand Elder. The real reason everyone was afraid of her was that she was the daughter of the Baili Sect sect leader.

Fu Yu had always had her way in the Five Tigers Sect; she was afraid of no one. She disregarded even the Five Tigers Sect sect leader. Because she had the Baili Sect supporting her, nobody could do anything to her.

Fu Yu had wanted to take Su Wan’er as her disciple because of an incident in the past. That incident was known by almost all the veterans in the Five Tigers Sect. Wan’er’s father had been an elder of the Five Tigers Sect. He was talented and his cultivation had reached the level of the Qi Nucleation Realm at a young age. He had bright prospects and had the chance to become one of the candidates for the next Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elder. The young Fu Yu had fallen in love with Wan’er’s father and hoped that he would marry her. However, Wan’er’s father had long been in love with Wan’er’s mother, so he had no interest in Fu Yu.

Fu Yu’s unrequited love turned into hate. Impetuously, she married the young master of the Five Tiger Sect in a political marriage, becoming the young madam of the Five Tigers Sect.

Fu Yu was not content with simply marrying into the Five Tigers Sect. Back then, Su Rong and his wife had perished in the line of duty while carrying out a sect mission. Everyone knew that it was not an accident. Instead, it was a scheme plotted by Fu Yu.

Originally, Wan’er’s parents were said to have perished in the line of duty and were considered meritorious figures in the sect. Their remaining daughter would surely be handsomely rewarded by the sect. However, Fu Yu did not spare the young Su Wan’er. After Su Rong and his wife were dead, Fu Yu falsely accused them of some charges and confiscated all their treasures. Then, she banished Wan’er, making her an outer-sect disciple.

If a few Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders had not stopped Fu Yu, Su Wan’er would have received the death penalty.

It had been close to ten years but to everyone’s surprise, Fu Yu had not let go of Su Wan’er yet.

“Elder Mei, you may take your leave with Wan’er first.” Wang He sighed softly, waving his hand and leaving the hall. That was all he could do for Wan’er. Wan’er’s father was the youth that he had admired the most. He had never imagined that Su Rong would be framed by this evil woman and die tragically.

“Wan’er, follow me.” Mei Yixuan held onto Wan’er’s hand, and they turned around and left the hall. She didn’t look pleased. If Wan’er remained as an outer-sect disciple, she could at least live peacefully even though her life was tough. However, she had become an inner-sect disciple now. With Fu Yu’s ruthlessness, she would surely pick on Wan’er.

Mei Yixuan had not expected that Wan’er could have been able to obtain a stalk of spiritual medicine, completely changing her position and fate in the sect. If Mei Yixuan could choose, she would rather Wan’er remained as an outer-sect disciple. Wan’er was considered lucky to be able to live peacefully.

If this had not been the case, Mei Yixuan would have helped Wan’er a long time ago. As long as Fu Yu was still part of the Five Tigers Sect, Wan’er should never have stood out from the rest. If Mei Yixuan had not helped Wan’er, she would have harmed Wan’er instead.

Mei Yixuan and Wan’er’s mother had been best friends. Wan’er was the only child of Su Rong and his wife, so Mei Yixuan would make sure that nothing happened to Su Wan’er.

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Mo Wen’s injuries recovered quickly. However, the Martial Arts Circle Convention was just around the corner. With his current recovery speed, he would surely not be able to recover his cultivation before the event.

In order to attend the Martial Arts Circle Convention, he needed to recover quickly. He would not be able to heal in time with common methods, so he would have to resort to using some special methods. However, the time was not yet right. He had to wait until his body was better first.

Wan’er had been gone for a few days. In the morning, she appeared in Mo Wen’s wooden house again.

“Big Brother Mo, what do you know about the Huatian Palace?” Wan’er asked as soon as she walked through the door.

“Hmm, what about it?” Mo Wen asked curiously. Why did Wan’er bring up the Huatian Palace?

“Big Brother Mo, I’m now an inner-sect disciple of the Five Tigers Sect. Moreover, I have a master now. My master is planning to take me to the Huatian Palace to gain experience,” Wan’er said excitedly.

The Huatian Palace had been a legend to her. She had never come in contact with it and had never expected that she would be able to visit it one day.

Mo Wen blinked, unable to comprehend what she had just said. Visiting the Huatian Palace to gain experience?

Based on his understanding, the Huatian Palace was not a place that a person could visit as they wished. Even if one was a member of the Huatian Palace, they would need to be at least a Three-star Executor to be qualified to visit the Huatian Palace. Besides, regardless of cultivation, those who weren’t Huatian Palace members would most likely not be qualified to visit the palace.

“Yes! Big Brother Mo, do you want to go? I can beg my master to bring you along.” Wan’er’s eyes were twinkling. Naturally, she would not forget about Mo Wen when she got a good deal. Her master treated her well so most likely would not reject her request.

When he asked her about it in more detail, Mo Wen figured out that the Huatian Palace that Wan’er was talking about was not the Huatian Palace that he knew of. The Huatian Palace that Wan’er was talking about was merely a branch set up by the real Huatian Palace. Since the Huatian Palace managed the entire martial arts circle, they had branches everywhere.

In the Taihang Mountains, there was a Huatian Palace branch.
