Chapter 1208
Seeing Ou Yan's hesitation, Hu Yunyi smiled and said, "Actually … Beidou school seems to be at a disadvantage, but … if you think about it carefully, under the leadership of Sect Leader Zhang, our Misty School's strength has increased greatly. Other than the Dalin Temple, the Incense Sect, the Righteous Alliance and the Tenryū Sect, no other sect has dared to provoke us. We won't be facing such a crisis for many years, but your sect can come to our Misty School at any time!"
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Elder Hu is right. Although our Beidou school has been established, our strength is limited. Elder Hu must have seen the future of our Beidou school and thought of this alliance. Moreover, in the Jianghu today, after the battle of Yaoshan Immortal Abode, the strength of the various sects has been greatly affected. Not to mention the small sects, among the large sects, the Righteous Alliance has lost the strength to compete with the Misty School. If we talk about sect annihilation, I'm afraid the Misty School won't be in the same situation as before!"
Then, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said, "As long as my second brother is the Sect Leader of the Misty School, I may not care about the ordinary crisis of the Misty School, but … when it comes to sect annihilation, how can I not take action?"
"Hehe, Sect Leader Zhang is right. This old man knows, but … life is limited. As long as Sect Leader Zhang is in charge of Yaoshan Immortal Abode, you can say this, but … what about the future?
My Misty School has been around for tens of thousands of years, and the Beidou school has been around for at least tens of thousands of years. The future is not something we can think of. This old man is doing this because I want the Misty School and the Beidou school to be in harmony for generations, and to be an alliance forever! "
Zhang Xiaohua sighed and shook her head. "Harmony for generations, an alliance forever, this … is too difficult. Your Misty School's founder, Yang Haoya, and the Incense Sect's founder, Yue Mingxin … their relationship is extraordinary. Even the Shendao Sect's founder, Wan Wuxin, came from the same place as those two founders. Their relationship is needless to say, their thoughts back then, weren't they the same as yours?
But … what happened to the Shendao Sect?
What happened to your Misty School?
Anyone in the Jianghu who has some sort of inheritance knows this very well. Elder Hu, do you think … that we can do better than them? "
"Sect Leader Zhang is right. Actually … when this old man came, I also thought about a lot of things. But … everything depends on one's effort. If this old man doesn't do it now … in a few years, or even ten years, I won't have the chance to do it again. If we just rely on the relationship between the two Sect Leaders, I'm afraid … it won't be very reliable. For both the Beidou school and the Misty School, this is extremely unrealistic!"
Hu Yunyi said sincerely, "So, this old man knows … that this matter is a bit ridiculous and … unrealistic. But … for my Misty School, this old man is willing to do this stupid thing!
No matter what the relationship between the Misty School and the Beidou school is in the future … this old man has tried his best. This old man … has no regrets! "
"Good ~" Hu Yunyi's words made Zhang Xiaohua's blood boil. She stood up and said, "Elder Hu, your 'this old man has tried his best. This old man has no regrets' sounds very pleasing to my ears.
Although my Beidou school's starting point is very high, but … after all, it's congenitally deficient and has a weak foundation. These are exactly what the Misty School has. If my sect and your sect can learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses, we'll be able to complement each other. Ou Yan … this matter … is settled. Discuss it with Elder Hu later and see what to do! "
"Yes, Senior Sect Leader!" Ou Yan was extremely happy when she heard this!
"Also, as for the new disciples … you'll see how to recruit them and how to operate them. These things should be handled by Hall Master Xue, right? You'll have to communicate with him!"
"Yes, I won't let the two Sect Leaders down!" Xue Qing bowed and said.
Hu Yunyi's face was flushed. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sect Leader Zhang, this old man has a small request."
"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaohua said curiously, "Elder Hu, please speak!"
"That … how is Shui Tiantian now?
He … has been by my side and has always been guided by me … Now that he suddenly left, I'm a little worried! "
"Hehe, I thought it was something big!"
Zhang Xiaohua laughed and waved her hand. A ray of light flashed, and Shui Tiantian appeared in front of everyone sitting cross-legged!
"Tiantian ~"
"Yes, Master!"
Shui Tiantian opened his eyes and was stunned when he saw everyone from the Misty School. However, he still bowed to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "May I know why Master has called this disciple over?"
"Misty School's Elder Hu missed you and wanted to come and see you!"
"Grandmaster …" Shui Tiantian turned around and looked at Elder Hu's familiar face. His eyes were wet as he bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Hu!"
"Good child, get up … get up!"
Hu Yunyi's eyes were also red. He helped Shui Tiantian up and asked, "Tiantian … are you alright?"
"Reporting … Grandmaster, this disciple … is fine!"
Shui Tiantian finally couldn't help but call out "Grandmaster". Then, he felt that it was inappropriate and turned to look at Zhang Xiaohua. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was only smiling and didn't mind, he was relieved.
"Hmm, as long as you're fine. You don't have to be too greedy for cultivation. You're still young. Slowly build your foundation. Don't be like before … Keep the hatred in your heart …"
"Grandmaster …" Shui Tiantian couldn't help but cry. He knelt down and kowtowed. "Grandmaster … this disciple is really sorry. You treat this disciple like family … But this disciple is unscrupulous and fed you poison. This disciple deserves to die!"
"Sigh, don't mention the past anymore!"
Hu Yunyi sighed. "This isn't your fault. It's all Shui Yupeng's fault … He was blinded by greed and used you as a tool … What crime have you committed?"
"But, he's still this disciple's father. This disciple … thinks about it day and night. I don't have the face to see Grandmaster again!"
"Actually, thinking about it again, Shui Yupeng had no choice but to do this for your safety. This old man … Sigh, forget it. He's already gone. My poison and serious injuries have been cured by your master. You don't have to blame yourself too much!
This old man has no son and has always treated you like a grandson. As long as you're doing well in Beidou school, this old man … is happier than anything else! "
Speaking of which, during the years when Hu Yunyi led the Misty School's disciples to exile, he had been carefully cultivating Shui Tiantian, treating him as the future hope of the Misty School. After a long time, he naturally developed feelings for him. Although Shui Yupeng's scheme was involved in the end, it was impossible for Hu Yunyi to resent Shui Tiantian!
"Mm, this disciple knows. This disciple is very happy in Beidou school!" Shui Tiantian said with tears on his face.
Suddenly, as if he had something fun to share with the adults, Shui Tiantian couldn't hold back the joy on his face. He looked at Hu Yunyi and said, "Grandmaster … this disciple … has something to tell you …"
Seeing how Shui Tiantian seemed to be hiding an excellent toy and wanted to show it to Hu Yunyi in hopes of receiving his praise, Hu Yunyi's heart softened. He recalled how Shui Tiantian would always show off to him when he was young before he mastered a move. Hu Yunyi's tone became even more benevolent. "What's wrong?
Tiantian … What kind of martial art did you master? "
"Yes … Grandmaster …" Shui Tiantian was just about to say something when he thought of something. He quickly turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know and only nodded slightly to express her agreement.
Only then did Shui Tiantian turn around and say with a smile, "When this disciple was following Grandmaster, Grandmaster always said … If this disciple mastered martial arts in the future, I would be able to inherit the Misty School's Immortal Path and step onto the Immortal Path.
You also said that your greatest wish was to let this disciple step onto the Immortal Path … To revitalize the Misty School … "
"Sigh, that's right. If that wasn't the case … I wouldn't have almost fought with Sect Leader Zhang and let the Righteous Alliance take advantage of me for nothing!"
Hu Yunyi sighed and said, "At that time, my body … was already on the verge of death. If I didn't make arrangements for you, my Misty School would never be able to rise again!
However, fortunately, Sect Leader Zhang is the pillar of my Misty School. This old man … has long been relieved! "
"Hehe, Grandmaster, this disciple … has already stepped onto the Immortal Path a few days ago!" Shui Tiantian said with a smile.
"Ah???"
Hu Yunyi was stunned and immediately became ecstatic. "Tiantian, you … you're also a person of the Immortal Path?"
"Yes, Grandmaster, this disciple … is stupid. I even entered the Immortal Path after Senior Brother Ji. It's nothing!" Shui Tiantian said shyly.
"Ji Xiaohua?" Hu Yunyi was even more shocked. "He … he also stepped onto the Immortal Path?"
However, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate and immediately cupped his hands at Zhang Xiaohua. "Sect Leader Zhang, this old man's tone is a little reckless. It's because … I've seen Xiaohua before. He doesn't have any foundation in martial arts at all. That's why I'm so surprised!"
"Hehe, it's fine, it's fine!" Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Then … Sect Leader Zhang … how many of your disciples have yet to step onto the Immortal Path?" Li Jian suppressed his surprise and couldn't help but probe.
"Hehe, in my Beidou school, other than Martial Nephew Zhang Bairen who's still young, the other six disciples have already reached the Immortal Path!" Nie Qianyu said proudly.
"This …" Everyone in the Misty School, including Zhang Xiaohu, looked at each other. It had only been a month since the Beidou school was established, and it had already cultivated six disciples of the Immortal Path. And these disciples … were all known by the Misty School!
"No wonder … they easily agreed to cultivate three disciples of the Immortal Path for the Misty School every year. It's so easy for the Beidou school!"
"Xiaohua, you … you're too unkind!" Zhang Xiaohu said with a frown.
