Chapter 1605: Candidate (1/2)

Yu Zongying stood up with an uncontainable excitement. Not even in his dreams did he think he would get to see the sacred teacher again.

He was very young back then, but he still remembered the sacred teacher taking him out to watch to sunset on a whale at sea. One had to remember, the sacred teacher was a supreme existence, the ruler of the nine worlds. To a large extent, it was only because of his parents’ contribution that he was able to earn the teacher’s favor.

After so many years, the ruler of the nine worlds had visited their clan again. This was the greatest of honor!

Yu Ancestor and the others were wide-eyed. Forefather Yu had a great position in the clan. This was a Nine Worlds’ G.o.dking kneeling before Fiercest today! It was all too shocking!

“Fools, frogs under the well that can’t see Mt. Tai,” The matriarch scolded.

“Forget it, it’s not their fault.” Li Qiye sat on the master chair and gently shook his head.

He would have done something to the others but because of the matriarch, he couldn’t get angry at all. Otherwise, how could someone like Yu Zhan prance around in front of him for so long?

In a short time, the group didn’t dare to breathe loudly. They didn’t know Fiercest’s ident.i.ty but their forefather was so respectful. Even an idiot would realize that his background was incredible.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhan didn’t even dare to look up while kneeling.

The matriarch was disappointed while staring at her descendants lowering their head. The Yu Clan had fewer capable people as time went on. There was a clear deterioration.

Zongying could take care of the clan as long as he was around but once he became older, only Ancestor Yu could do anything. The decline was near if such a large clan relied on one or two people for administration.

She found the situation quite difficult. It wasn’t a lack of resource but a lack of disciples with potential. Of course, this wasn’t only in talents.

This prompted her to yell at them: “A bunch of stagnated fools. A lifetime of fortune is wasted on all of you!”

Ancestor Yu and the others didn’t dare to say anything back.

“Your Excellency, do you see any hope for them?” She asked Li Qiye.

In her mind, in terms of grooming and recognizing talents, no one could compare to him. He had trained too many peerless characters across the ages.

The group shuddered after hearing her address and became even more afraid of Fiercest’s background.

“I’m old now so I don’t want to waste their time.” He gently shook his head.

She gently sighed after hearing this and knew that her worthless descendants couldn’t get into his sight. Otherwise, if any of them were to gain his favor and tutelage, they would have a bright future.

“Everyone, come greet His Excellency.” She coldly ordered. This was her attempt to create a safety net for them.

They didn’t dare to show any slight and quickly went forward to kneel. Li Qiye only nodded without speaking.

Zongying standing to the side also realized that Li Qiye didn’t like any of the children here.

The matriarch looked at them and scowled again: “All of you have so many resources but look at yourselves, some half-a.s.s cultivation, not even as strong as a vagrant cultivator. Too used to playing around, have you forgotten that you’re a cultivator? Maybe you think of yourself as a regular n.o.ble son and daughter!?”

The kids didn’t dare to utter a single word back.

She continued on: “Little Dan, you have been working hard these years but you lack foresight and are too doting on them. The lack of discipline has turned them into these young masters!”

Ancestor Yu has been in charge of the clan. An old person like Forefather Yu rarely asked about daily businesses. The ancestor bowed his head and apologized: “Your grandson is incompetent and had ruined their development, please punish me.”

“You shall personally teach them now!” The matriarch uttered: “From today on, our clan shall close its doors. All children and disciples will adhere to strict discipline. Before reaching a certain cultivation, no more leaving the clan in order to avoid losing more face!”
