Chapter 1205
Seeing that Ou Yan was somewhat puzzled, Hu Yunyi continued, "Beidou School is newly established, and there's only Sect Leader Zhang and seven disciples in the school. This … really doesn't match the reputation of Beidou School. My Misty School has nothing to congratulate you on. These 857 disciples will be sent to Beidou school as ordinary disciples. Firstly, it's a congratulatory gift, and secondly, it's a bit of repayment for Sect Leader Zhang's kindness to my Misty School!"
"Oh?"
Ou Yan stared blankly for a moment, then her face immediately lit up with joy. She said happily, "Elder Hu's gift is very good. It can be said to be timely assistance.
However, these Kitty Hawk Hall disciples have been nurtured by Misty School since they were young. Elder Hu … doesn't your heart ache if you give them to my Beidou school all of a sudden? "
"Hehe, Yan Zi's words are very true. These 857 disciples were all people I took away from Misty Mountain Villa in the past. These many years, I've been living with them day and night, and I have deep feelings for them. I indeed have high hopes for them.
However, if these disciples are compared to the great kindness that Beidou school has shown to my Misty School, the difference is too great. Only by giving these disciples to Beidou school and expanding Beidou school's strength can I express my Misty School's gratitude! "
"That's right, Elder Hu. These 857 Kitty Hawk Hall disciples have been nurtured by Misty School since they were young. Since they were young, they've regarded Misty School as their sect. Now that they've suddenly come to Beidou school, I'm afraid … it won't be easy to restrain them!" Ou Yan asked calmly.
Hu Yunyi nodded and said, "Yan Zi's question is indeed good. However, these disciples are still young, and most of them are about the same age as Shui Tiantian. They've been living outside Misty Mountain Villa for the past few years, and their feelings towards Misty School … are a lot weaker than those of ordinary disciples. Of course, I'm not saying that they don't have Misty School in their hearts. It's just that people strive for greater heights, and water flows to lower depths. Beidou school stands at the forefront of the Path of Immortality and occupies Mount Yaoshan Immortal Mansion. If they know that they can cultivate in Immortal Mansion, I'm afraid … not everyone will fight to the death!"
Ou Yan nodded slightly.
"Also … with the relationship between Sect Leader Zhang of the Misty School and Sect Leader Zhang of your sect, I'm sure they'll be able to accept the transfer from the Misty School to the Beidou school!" Elder Hu said with a smile.
"Sect Leader Zhang, to be honest, there are some drawbacks in sending young disciples here. If it were any other sect, our Misty School would never dare to do such a thing. It's easy to cause misunderstandings!"
Wen Wenhai cupped his hands and said, "However, I'm thinking the same thing as you, Elder Hu. Beidou school doesn't lack anything except for manpower.
As for the development of Beidou school, if we only rely on Miss Ou, Miss Nie, Shui Tiantian, and the others … I'm afraid we won't be able to develop even a little bit in the next ten years. Elder Hu made this suggestion, and … Gang Leader Zhang also agreed. I think it's really feasible, so I made the suggestion! "
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu's smiling face and knew that this guy must know that she had the Soul-absorbing Pill and wasn't afraid of spies, so she agreed.
Of course, Zhang Xiaohua did not care about what tricks the Ethereal Sect had up their sleeves. After all, in this Immortal Abode, with the Mansion-guarding Spiritual Stele in hand, everyone could only surrender and be manipulated.
Zhang Xiaohua still had a lot of trust in Wen Wenhai. Seeing Wen Wenhai's explanation, she nodded slightly and said, "I understand what Swordsman Wen said. Since it's the Misty School's kindness, I … won't be disrespectful!"
"Hehe, that's great!" Wen Wenhai said with a smile.
"As for the handover of the 857 disciples, let Ou Yan be in charge after the secret plane!" Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Thank you for your trust, Sect Leader Zhang!"
Elder Hu cupped his hands and said, "Only if Sect Leader Zhang accepts these 857 disciples will we have the face to discuss the second matter with Sect Leader Zhang!"
"Elder Hu, this … what's the second matter?
Please enlighten us! "Ou Yan nodded.
"Speaking of the second matter, it has something to do with Valley Master Nie of Rejuvenation Valley!" Elder Hu glanced at Nie Qianyu and said with a smile.
"What about Rejuvenation Valley?" Nie Qianyu asked curiously.
"A month ago, Rejuvenation Valley visited our Misty School and formed an alliance with our Misty School. Oh, of course, our Misty School isn't a member of their Yuli Alliance. It's a mutually supportive relationship!"
Hu Yunyi explained, "When I heard Valley Master Nie mention the relationship between Rejuvenation Valley and the Incense Cult, I suddenly had an epiphany. I want to form a complementary relationship with Beidou school … just like Rejuvenation Valley and the Incense Cult!"
Zhang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows. Nie Qianyu asked, "Elder Hu … what are your plans?"
"Hehe, it's simple. Every year, our Misty School can help Beidou school select young disciples with outstanding aptitudes and send them to Beidou school until Beidou school has the ability to select disciples …"
"What does our Beidou school have to do?" Ou Yan asked after a moment of contemplation.
"Every year … your school … needs to help our Misty School … promote five disciples … to step onto the path of immortality!"
"Five disciples?" Ou Yan shook her head and said, "How many immortal path disciples are there in the pugilistic world?
Your Misty School wants our Beidou school to promote five immortal path disciples every year … That's impossible. "
Ou Yan didn't report this to Zhang Xiaohua. Instead, she directly denied it.
"This …" Hu Yunyi thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, what our Misty School can do for Beidou school is too little. We can only show the strength of our Misty School in the next few years. When the Beidou school's young disciples are fully developed, our Misty School won't be able to catch the eye of Beidou school. So … overall, I'm afraid that our Misty School won't have too many immortal path experts!"
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to agree, Ou Yan said, "Elder Hu, that's not right. As the saying goes, small streams flow long. Our Beidou school's disciples are all focused on cultivation. I'm afraid that we won't interfere much with worldly affairs. If our Misty School does a good job, we might be able to hand over everything to the Misty School in the future!"
Elder Hu was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled and said, "If that's the case … the number of disciples per year can be reduced to four."
"Two!" Ou Yan said, "Our Beidou school still has its own disciples!"
"Two is indeed too little. How about three?" Elder Hu said earnestly.
"This …" Ou Yan turned to look at Zhang Xiaohua. She seemed to be satisfied and wanted Zhang Xiaohua to make the decision.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "I'll allow this, but there are still some other conditions!"
"Ah?
Approved? "Hu Yunyi was stunned. Then, he was overjoyed. How many immortal path disciples could there be in the pugilistic world?
Beidou school could actually let three Misty School disciples enter the path of immortality every year. Not to mention five years, in just three years, nine disciples would enter the path of immortality. This … was comparable to the Incense Cult!
Zhang Xiaohu didn't reveal Hu Yunyi's bottom line in advance, but judging from his surprised expression, it was obviously … beyond his expectations.
"Yes, I'll allow it."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Not only that, everyone in the Misty School in the main hall, as long as it's possible, I can help you enter the path of immortality!"
"Ah???"
Wen Wenhai, Lu Yueming, and Xue Qing's faces were flushed. They knew that Zhang Xiaohu was about the same age as them. If Zhang Xiaohu could enter the path of immortality, then so could they. Li Jian and the others were already old, so Zhang Xiaohua's words were obviously meant for them.
Hu Yunyi, Li Jian, Liu Qingyang, and Madam Qin were also overjoyed. The Incense Cult and Between the Clouds and the Water both had methods to enter the path of immortality through martial arts. Beidou school … must have some methods as well!
"Thank you, Sect Leader Zhang!" Everyone bowed.
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. I's help isn't without conditions."
Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "The things you need to raise your cultivation to the path of immortality must be provided by your Misty School. Also … the techniques and pills used by the three disciples must also be provided by your Misty School!"
"This …" Hu Yunyi and Li Jian were at a loss for words. They didn't know that three things were needed for three disciples to enter the path of immortality, so they could only turn to look at Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "These conditions … my Misty School agrees. After all … these things need a lot of money, so there's no reason for Beidou school to pay for my Misty School!"
"Since Sect Leader Zhang agrees, then it's easy to handle!" Zhang Xiaohua clapped her hands and smiled.
Zhang Xiaohu glared at him but didn't say anything.
Seeing that the two factions had reached an agreement, Ou Yan was also happy. She asked, "Then what's the third suggestion, Elder Hu?"
"Oh, this third suggestion isn't anything special. It's just an addition to the first two suggestions. It's the icing on the cake."
Hu Yunyi thought for a moment and said, "If Sect Leader Zhang doesn't have any objections to the first two suggestions, my Misty School and Beidou school would like to further form an alliance. Under the premise of complementing each other, we can advance and retreat together in the jianghu, going through thick and thin together!"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He had previously told Zhang Xiaohu about this relationship, hoping that Beidou school and Misty School could become close brothers, just like he and his second brother. However, he had only said it casually back then. Moreover, Beidou school hadn't been established yet, so it was easy for him to say it without thinking about the consequences of his words. Now that he heard Hu Yunyi and Ou Yan's negotiation, Zhang Xiaohua realized that his previous thoughts might have been too simple!
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's frown, Ou Yan couldn't make a decision. She thought for a moment and said, "Elder Hu, can you elaborate further?"
Hu Yunyi also said seriously, "Actually, this third suggestion … is something we suddenly thought of before we came. Since our Misty School's Sect Leader Zhang and your sect's Sect Leader Zhang are blood brothers, we … dare to make this suggestion.
I can't explain it in detail, but if our Misty School is in danger of being wiped out, I hope that your sect's Sect Leader will lend us a helping hand. Our Misty School will also take responsibility for all of your sect's trivial matters in the jianghu … "
When Ou Yan heard this, she frowned. This exchange seemed to be extremely disproportionate!
The Misty School had only helped Beidou school with a simple matter, but in exchange, they had asked for Beidou school's help when their own sect was about to be wiped out … This really didn't make sense!
