42: Revised: Chapter 42 Changes 42: Revised: Chapter 42 Changes “Didn’t I say before that someone would soon want to take you as a disciple because of your talent?”
“For several consecutive days, the five stewards didn’t make a move, and I thought something unexpected had happened.”
“It wasn’t until last night, when I met with my master, that I learned from him that it’s not that they don’t want to take you in, but someone more powerful has their eye on you and wants to take you as a disciple.”
Qin Shaoping said with a smile.
“Someone more powerful?
Bai Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt a hint of excitement.
He had known for a long time that Qin Shaoping’s master was Tan Chaofan, a steward of the Law Enforcement Hall, with a Martial Arts Realm at the Peak of Inner Cultivation.
It was said his strength ranked among the top five in the entire Sunburst Gang Branch and once had the experience of confronting a Martial Artist who refined Inner Qi and retreating unscathed.
In the whole Sunburst Gang Branch, those whom he admitted he couldn’t surpass were few, at most only three.
They were the Sect Leader Liu Dong of the Sunburst Gang Branch!
Left Guardian Zhao Jing!
Right Guardian Liu Yang!
These three had refined Inner Qi and possessed extremely strong powers.
They were the pinnacle combat powers of the Sunburst Gang in Qinghe Town.
Bai Ziyue speculated, feeling a bit more anticipation.
“Sect Leader Liu Dong!”
Qin Shaoping hurriedly said.
Bai Ziyue was overjoyed and asked, “Really?”
“Of course, it’s true.”
“Initially, the Guardian Liu Yang also planned to take you as a disciple, but reportedly, the Sect Leader spoke up, and that’s why he backed off.”
“I think it won’t be long before the Sect Leader sends someone to invite you to become his disciple.”
Qin Shaoping spoke, his eyes inevitably showing a hint of envy.
“It’s still early to say all this.”
Bai Ziyue waved his hand.
At first, he was indeed somewhat excited, but soon his mood calmed down.
*Anything can change until it is truly confirmed*; *faced with enough surprises, it’s no longer easy to be affected.*
Sometimes, you might think disciples are relatively isolated from one another, but the speed of information dissemination is extremely fast.
When Bai Ziyue appeared in the cafeteria, almost everyone looked at him with different expressions.
The faces showed clear traces of reverence mixed with awe, and envy mixed with jealousy.
Especially two Inner Sect Apprentices, who disdained him in discussions the day before, ignoring him even if he was nearby, were now the first to approach him, feigning warmth with greetings and compliments, without caring about Bai Ziyue’s cold attitude, remaining enthusiastic.
In the martial arts training ground, everyone usually trained individually, but when he appeared, apprentices would often approach and seize opportunities to seek his guidance.
If they sincerely sought guidance, he didn’t mind offering some pointers.
With his Zen Meditation Perfection, guiding some Entry Level or Minor Success apprentices wasn’t difficult and wouldn’t be less effective than what a teaching master could offer.
But he soon discovered that these people weren’t truly interested in learning, but rather wanted to take advantage of the relationship; few truly focused on Zen Meditation Posture.
Helplessly, he had to leave quickly.
Staying longer, he feared he wouldn’t have any time for practice.

“With over six hundred seventy points of Soul Energy, it’s enough to improve Eighteen Linked Blades to Great Success, but with One-character Punch already at Great Success, further improvement of Eighteen Linked Blades won’t significantly enhance my strength.
Rather, I should set it aside to use at a critical moment.”
On the way back, Bai Ziyue glanced at his Attribute Panel and thought silently.
Originally, he only had a few dozen points of Soul Energy, but the three who intercepted Liu the Sixth separately brought him over a hundred points, and along with Liu the Sixth’s own three hundred-plus points, his Soul Energy Points reached over six hundred in total.
But these Soul Energy points were still too few for him, especially since he had no short-term income.
Thus, even though he was eager to experience the power of Eighteen Linked Blades Great Success, he didn’t plan to immediately consume Soul Energy for upgrades.
“Junior Brother Bai, what a coincidence?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Bai Ziyue was startled, and looking in response, he saw a man not far away with a terrifying long knife scar across his face, smiling broadly.
Bai Ziyue was surprised.
The one greeting him was the miscellaneous steward, Qian Ming, who had originally assigned him tasks.
However, compared to the greed and indifference before, now he seemed enthusiastic and even somewhat ‘obsequious.’
“Just call me Senior Brother Qian Ming, Junior Brother Bai.” Seeing Bai Ziyue still remembered him, Qian Ming seemed quite excited and immediately came up, saying, “I always recognized that Junior Brother Bai was extraordinarily talented and astute, destined to be outstanding.”
“Now I see it’s true.
In just two short months, you’ve risen from a miscellaneous disciple to an Inner Sect Apprentice, and now the Sect Leader is noticing you, about to take you as a disciple…
Truly a legend in our time, a role model for our generation…”
What exactly do you mean?”
Bai Ziyue quickly interrupted.
Although the flattery sounded uplifting, he didn’t have time for empty babble.
“I just have immense admiration for someone like Junior Brother Bai, so I purposely came to say hello…”
Qian Ming said with a smile.
“Alright, we’ve already greeted, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”
Bai Ziyue gave him a cold look and started to walk away.
Seeing this, Qian Ming was greatly surprised and quickly stopped him, saying, “Actually, I came to apologize to you this time.
I failed to recognize greatness, forcing you to suffer at Ming Pearl Restaurant for two months.”
“Here’s a gift, partly as my apology, partly to congratulate you on becoming the Sect Leader’s disciple.”
He said, showing a pained expression, while handing over a red gift box from behind.
“Senior Brother Qian is too courteous.”
Bai Ziyue remarked, accepting it without showing any emotion.
*In his heart, he gained new insights regarding Qian Ming.*
*This was a man greedy and clever,*
*Even though Bai Ziyue couldn’t threaten him at this moment, he could quickly decide to lower himself deliberately to make friends.*
*Absolutely a smart person.*
*Although Bai Ziyue didn’t quite like the steward, he didn’t bear a grudge, only some disgust.*
*Now that the other sincerely apologized and gave a gift, he couldn’t pursue the steward’s extortion when assigning miscellaneous tasks.*
*After all, he didn’t truly suffer any loss, instead stumbling upon fortune, acquiring the Immortal Cultivation Technique ‘Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique’ and the ‘Hundred Talisman Atlas.’*
