As the names were read out one by one, those whose names were read out were naturally overjoyed, and those who failed could only sigh and try again next time.

No matter what, the Gu Immortal Sect disciples had decent mental states, and they would not be depressed because of this failure.

The only thing was that the name list this time was somewhat surprising.

“The sect master and First Elder are both here for Fang Yuan, isn’t this too ridiculous?”

“I am even suspecting whether Fang Yuan is the sect master’s biological son… so many great beings are fighting over him.”

“Sigh, the matter is already settled, we will have to call Fang Yuan ‘Senior’ in the future.”

“I still don’t understand. For so many years, his reputation has not been well-known. How could he suddenly be noticed by the sect master and the others? Could it be because of that outer sect competition?”

“That might be the reason.”

“You all underestimate the ranking of the competition. I’ve studied it. Do you know how high the value of Fang Yuan’s first place is?”

“Oh? Junior, tell me more.”

“Let me put it this way. If the speed of the second place was a hundred times faster, he might just almost catch up to Fang Yuan and compete with him.”

“Wow, so terrifying?”

“What do you think, to be able to differentiate the refinement pairings of five pairs of Gu worms and refine them at the same time, and to do it all in fifteen minutes, he is already a genius.”

A group of spectating disciples began to discuss about Fang Yuan.

Slowly, they understood why there were three experts fighting over a disciple of the Gu Immortal Sect.

Zhang Wenbin, who heard all this from afar, opened his eyes wide.

“How is this possible, why would the sect master approve of him!”

A strong sense of danger surged in Zhang Wenbin’s heart.

If Fang Yuan confirmed his identity as the sect master’s personal disciple, then it would be natural for him to be together with Wan Qian.

When that time came, how would he make his move?

But he couldn’t do anything at all.

Whether it was the clan behind him or the Fourth Elder, they couldn’t change or even shake the sect master’s mind.

Zhang Wenbin could only hope that Fang Yuan was an idiot and didn’t choose Gu Zhenren.

But Fang Yuan was naturally not an idiot.

Compared to Gu Zhenren’s protection, First Elder and Second Elder were insignificant.

Moreover, First Elder and Second Elder had looked for him in private first, so choosing one would offend the other.

Only Gu Zhenren, who had a higher status, would have no competition.

After the name list was read out, the examiner looked at the disciples sitting in the square, and he said loudly, “All those who have been called, stand up. You can go to your beloved master and pay your respects. If you don’t want to pay your respects, sit down and forfeit.”

How could an ordinary disciple give up such a great opportunity? A group of people took large strides forward and bowed in front of the elders.

To acknowledge a master, one had to kowtow three times and bow nine times.

Fang Yuan was one of them. He walked up to Gu Zhenren and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

“Disciple Fang Yuan greets Master.”

After bowing, Gu Zhenren looked at him with a more cordial gaze.

“You acknowledge me as your master, so now the two people next to me are not happy.”

Fang Yuan bowed to First Elder and Second Elder respectively, “I have let down the two elders’ high hopes, I apologize here.”

“No worries.”

Second Elder laughed, and he did not mind. “Sect master, congratulations on accepting such a good disciple.”

The First Elder’s face was ashen and he was a little unhappy, but he also said congratulations.

“Get up.”
