Chapter 85: Fighting over a Disciple! (1/2)

“Personally coming to admit Nie Tian to the Spiritual Treasure sect?Isn’t the Nie clan the Cloudsoaring sect’s subordinate clan?”

“What a lucky kid…”

“Normally, Pan Bai wouldn’t personally take someone back to the Spiritual Treasure sect. Those whom he had his eyes on all displayed remarkable talent in the Spiritual Treasure sect, and none of them turned out to be mediocre.”

“Years ago, he came and took An Shiyi from the An clan to the Spiritual Treasure sect. Now look at her. She is already an influential figure in the sect.”

“This man is famous for his eye for talent. Those who managed to get his attention all turned out to be important figures.”

“What does he see in Nie Tian?”

“…”

After realizing why Pan Bai had come here, the onlookers immediately fell into an uproar.

Meanwhile, everyone from the Nie clan was flabbergasted, and couldn’t wrap their minds around what Nie Tian had done in the Green Illusion dimension to make Pan Bai set his eyes on him.

“Spiritual Treasure sect! Spiritual Treasure sect!” Nie Qian slightly trembled as her eyes glittered with bright lights. Years of endurance had finally paid off.

Nie Donghai breathed deeply, struggling to calm himself. Finally pacified, he nervously looked towards Pan Bai as he carefully asked, “Mr. Pan, is what An Rong said true?”

Nie Tian regained his composure after a moment of bewilderment. He looked at Pan Bai, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

At this time, it rushed back to him that when he parted with Pan Tao days ago, Pan Tao had told him that he would bring someone to see him in Black Cloud City.

Now he knew who Pan Tao had been talking about.

Under everyone’s gaze, Pan Bai smiled and said, “In the entire Spiritual Treasure sect, I’m the most famous for being a good judge of talent. All these years, those disciples that I’ve brought back to the Spiritual Treasure sect have all proved their abilities not long after they were admitted.

“Not only am I a good judge of talent, but so is my son.”

As he spoke, he looked towards Pan Tao, who confidently stuck out his chest upon hearing his father’s words.

“I trust my son’s eye for people, and I trust my judgement.” He looked profoundly towards Nie Tian, and with a serious face, he finally brought out what everyone was waiting to hear, “That’s right. I’ve come to Black Cloud City for Nie Tian. I hereby officially invite Nie Tian to continue his cultivation in the Spiritual Treasure sect as a disciple!”

“He’s serious!” Nie Yaozu was taken aback.

Upon hearing Pan Bai’s words, the other Nie clan members all looked towards Nie Tian with extremely strange gazes in their eyes.

Nie Beichuan, on the other hand, didn’t say a word. With a dour face, he seemed to be bothered by something.

Even as the crowd clamored, a commoner of Black Cloud City moved close to An Rong’s side and loudly said, “Master An, you were here late and missed a good show. Let me tell you what happened…”

He then went on to relay how Nie Tian had interrupted Nie Beichuan and the others as they attempted to force Nie Donghai and Nie Qian to go to the Cloudsoaring sect to beg for forgiveness.

An Rong laughed loudly. “Nie Beichuan, you sure are resourceful! The moment you assumed your position, the mine collapsed. You don’t examine what you’ve done wrong. Instead, you force your eldest brother to take the blame. How competent are you!?”

“Shut the hell up, An Rong!” Nie Beichuan roared, enraged.

An Rong didn’t seem to be the least bit concerned. “What? You can do it, but can’t hear people talk about it? As I see it then, you don’t need to remain in such a land of trouble.”

Nie Donghai didn’t respond, yet his face turned dark and grim.

However, Pan Bai frowned and said, “Mr. Nie, you and Nie Tian’s aunt can also go to the Spiritual Treasure sect. I’ll make arrangements for the both of you.”

“What?! Even Nie Donghai and Nie Qian will be accepted by the Spiritual Treasure sect as well? No way…”

“I can’t believe they think so highly of Nie Tian!”

“They’re willing to accept Nie Tian and two others as tagalongs? What could possibly be going on?”

Everyone was shocked by Pan Bai’s words.

Nie Donghai, Nie Qian, and Nie Tian suddenly became enlivened, and at the same time, cast incredulous gazes towards Pan Bai.

Pan Bai gently nodded his head.

The previously depressed Nie Donghai was clearly moved by Pan Bai’s offer. His eyes flickered, as indecision appeared on his face.

The Spiritual Treasure sect’s offer was so irresistible that he was actually considering completely breaking away from the Nie clan and taking Nie Tian and Nie Qian to the Spiritual Treasure sect.

Brimming with excitement, Nie Qian called out, “Father!!”
