Chapter 2252: No One Willing to Accept (1/2)

Upon seeing that Sun Shangyi had declined to accept him as a student, Huang Xiaolong’s second choice was Bai Xuyang. Although Bai Xuyang was not in the group who opposed the Holy Alliance opposition, he was one of the Eminent Elders who maintained a neutral stance. Moreover, Bai Xuyang had a saint bloodline and dragon saint physique of dragon nature.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s second choice was himself, Bai Xuyang’s reaction was the same as Sun Shangyi. He said with a troubled face, “Your Highness Holy Prince Huang Xiaolong, I mainly focuses on alchemy. Most of my time is spent running outside searching for spiritual herbs and other materials. I am rarely at the Holy Gate headquarters due to my errands. I won’t have a lot of time to teach you, so I think that it would be better if you choose another Eminent Elder as your teacher!”

These were also all lame excuses to reject Huang Xiaolong.

Even if one focused on alchemy, and spent a lot of time running outside, couldn’t he bring Huang Xiaolong by his side?

Seeing that Bai Xuyang had also rejected Huang Xiaolong, Li Wen was afraid that Huang Xiaolong would be angered. So he quickly spoke to Eminent Elder Chen Shiming beside him, “Junior Brother Shiming, the holy martial art that you practice is the Sky Dragon Tactics. How about you…?”

But Li Wen had yet to finish his question when Chen Shiming quickly cut him off, “Senior Brother Li Wen, I have already accepted three Holy Princes as students. Moreover, I have been researching the ancient holy spiritual array manual that I obtained some time back. I really do not have the energy to teach another student.”

Of course, this was also an excuse.

Even while researching ancient holy spiritual arrays, he could have Huang Xiaolong watch from the side and guide him from time to time.

If he really did not have the time, his three students could also provide Huang Xiaolong lessons on his behalf.

Sun Shangyi, Bai Xuyang, and Chen Shiming all refused to accept Huang Xiaolong as a student. Something like this had never happened in the Holy Gate, and this was the first time.

In general, a new Holy Prince asking to worship a teacher was usually successful on the first try as no Eminent Elder would refuse a Holy Prince.

After watching Huang Xiaolong was repeatedly rejected by Sun Shangyi, Bai Xuyang, and Chen Shiming, even Chief Hall Master Yang Jingzhi, who accompanied Huang Xiaolong looked awkward and embarrassed.

After Chen Shiming’s refusal, Li Wen shifted his gaze towards Song Yi. Although Song Yi was of the fairer gender, and her cultivation method was not suitable for Huang Xiaolong, it was better than having no Eminent Elder accepting Huang Xiaolong as a student.

However, before Li Wen could open his mouth, Song Yi was already shaking her head, “Senior Brother Li Wen, you know very well, I do not accept male disciples.”

Li Wen’s expression stiffened.

“Forget it, Eminent Elder Li Wen.” Huang Xiaolong spoke up at this time, “There is no need. I won’t worship any teacher.”

After hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, other Eminent Elders secretly sighed in relief. All of them had been holding their breaths, afraid that Huang Xiaolong would choose them next to be his teacher. If that were to happen, they could only refuse using some lame excuses.

Thankfully, they need not think of any excuses to refuse him anymore.

Huang Xiaolong did not linger in the main palace’s hall. He saluted Li Wen and the others with cupped fists, turning to leave the hall.

Chief Hall Master Yang Jingzhi was caught off guard for a second, but reacted quickly and hurriedly saluted Li Wen and other Eminent Elders before following after Huang Xiaolong.

Watching Huang Xiaolong being refused time and again, then ‘running away in embarrassment’ from the hall, Xu Jun and other Eminent Elders, who supported the Holy Alliance, gloated happily inside.

Not long after Huang Xiaolong left the main palace, Jiang Tian and the others learned that Huang Xiaolong had failed to worship a teacher.

“Haha, that Huang Xiaolong really created a record as a new Holy Prince. No Eminent Elder was willing to accept him as a student!” The crimson-eyed Holy Prince Zheng Yongjia couldn’t stop laughing. His laughter echoed loudly through the hall.

It had been a long time since he had laughed so happily.

“It would be strange if an Eminent Elder accepted a rubbish Holy Prince like him as a student.” Holy Prince Wu Shi who was enshrouded in a purple glow chimed in. “Moreover, it won’t be long before that Huang Xiaolong dies in the arena. Who would want such a rubbish and short-lived student!”

Huang Zhouping chuckled as he joined in, “I heard that before leaving the main palace, Huang Xiaolong’s face was ugly to the extreme. It really makes it hard for me to kill him in the arena!”

Jiang Tian laughed happily, “That’s right, don’t kill him then. Just crippling his complete dao saint godhead, saint bloodline and saint physique is fine. Think about it as if you are pitying a useless waste.”
