Chapter 316 - There Was Never a Thing Called Absolute Fairness (2/2)

The saying of “the child is the father of the man” had its fair points after all.

While Duan Shan and the others were nowhere near Lu Xuan when it came to the state of mind and being, but they were able to see at least that much.

However, all of those people wore peculiar, puzzled looks on their faces soon enough. They caught wind of the news that Lu Xuan picked someone out in that sea of candidates personally.

Furthermore, that someone was a girl!

The news sounded weird to all of them who were present.

Lu Xuan’s unfathomably formidable prowess meant that there were countless who wanted to study under him. However, with the exception of Ling Yu, who was considered an honorary disciple of his, no one heard of him taking anyone else as his personal disciple before.

All of them naturally understood the vast difference between an honorary disciple and a true, personal disciple.

All of them were curious as to just how extraordinarily talented one had to be to catch Lu Xuan’s attention.

All 12 of the military governors knew just how prideful that young master of theirs was, and no common man would be considered worthy of his notice.

“Yun Ling’er.”

All of them committed that name to memory, as that would possibly be the young master of the Heavenly Palace in the future.

Even the 12 military governors knew well enough that their status would not be able to compare to that of Yun Ling’er in the future.

Yun Ling’er, who was handpicked by Lu Xuan as his personal disciple at the moment, was looking rather puzzled.

That young man who was so incredibly handsome that she had wanted to flirt with and add as a friend on social media was actually none other than that legendary Lu Xuan, Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace.

She felt that it was like riding a roller-coaster at the moment.

She wondered just how she became a personal disciple of the Palace Lord just like that.

Furthermore, she was said to be the only one at the moment.

All of that made her feel very, very pleased with herself, and excited.

It was especially so after seeing the envious and jealous looks all those other young men and women shot at her. The experience was beyond ecstatic.

She wondered if she should just post on TikTok and brag about it for a bit.

“This is unfair! Why could she be the disciple of the Palace Lord himself, yet all of us get eliminated instead? We want an explanation!” a young man dressed in elaborate clothing pointed at Yun Ling’er and said.

All the other young men and women around him nodded in agreement. All of them were wondering why that happened.

It was especially so given that Yun Ling’er looked plain and unassuming. While there was no doubt that she had decent looks, she was still nowhere near appearing truly outstanding.

Furthermore, she was currently only wearing a common middle school uniform, and that made her look even more plain and commonplace.

All of them wondered just what Lu Xuan saw in her enough to make her his disciple.

The examiner shot looks at each other, as they had no idea why that happened in the first place as well.

“I shall tell you all why then.”

Lu Xuan was seen descending slowly from the sky as all of the examiners looked baffled.

Sunlight shone on him, making him look even more dazzling and extravagant.

He looked so brilliant that he was seen to be nothing short of the gods told in legends.

“You want fairness, eh? I’d tell you all then, that the first truth about cultivation, is that there is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world.”
