When Lin Yi left the palace wearing a purple robe, Yu Zecheng opened his eyes wide and blurted out:
“Junior Brother Lin, you...you have actually been promoted to a true disciple.?”
Although he himself said that he would definitely be promoted, he did not mean that it was like that, in the palace of the Sect Master. Besides, a disciple who joined only six months ago has already become a true one? Arrows don't fly that fast!
“Brother Yu, since I am also a true disciple now, how can I be a junior?” Lin Yi grinned smugly.
“Yes... yes,” Zecheng muttered, shaking his head. “I just can’t believe it, brother. Everything happened too quickly and I didn’t have time to react. Who knew that the impudent boy would give me so many slaps in the face in six months? It still seems unreal, like a dream.”
“Yes, like a dream,” agreed Lin Yi with sincere emotions.
He had no doubt that he would achieve his goal. But his confidence did not come from arrogance, but from experience. And even so, he didn’t know how everything would turn out in reality. Even though he had not yet encountered insurmountable obstacles on the way, he still had to tread carefully so as not to attract more combat experience than he could swallow.
And yet, in six months to rise from the bottom of Huashan to the top - it was impressive.
Zecheng took Lin Yi to his place to celebrate with a cup of tea.
When their backs disappeared behind another building, the two guards guarding the palace exchanged glances and sucked in cold air through their teeth..“I heard that Senior Brother Lin entered Huashan less than a year ago. To rise so quickly from the lower court to the true one is a leap from earth to sky!”
“Yeah, among tens of thousands of students - and even among hundreds of thousands of previous ones - he stands out like the moon in a starry sky.”
“Yeah, now the whole sect will be turned upside down!”
.˙.
The news of the promotion of the Heavenly Sword swept through the entire Huashan like a storm, astonished cries were heard everywhere.
Two months to enter the upper court, four more to become a true disciple. When did this happen??
Tens of thousands of students in the lower court and five thousand in the upper court could only awkwardly shrug their shoulders.
However, there were no words of envy anywhere here. No one ever thought about having such a monstrous talent!
.˙.
“Hey, did you hear? Elder Brother Lin became a true disciple.”
“If only I hadn't heard, the whole mountain heard.”
“Damn, he's just something. The first disciple in the history of Huashan to rise from the lower courtyard in six months. One record after another!”
“That's for sure, to enter the upper court in two months, having beaten all the strongest students - just something!”
“Haha, we should have called him a maniac not of fights, but of records!”
.˙.
After Lin Yi, Han Bai, Yu Hai, and Jiang Xiaoyu were promoted to the upper court, Shangguan Yun regained his place as the tenth most powerful.
But when he learned that his main enemy had become a true disciple, Yun's eyes became bloodshot.
“How is this possible?! How could he be promoted in six months?! This doesn't happen! Doesn't happen!”
Hearing his insane howls, the people in the lower courtyard sighed:
“Elder Brother Shangguan has gone crazy again.”
Smashing the table, Yun threw through his teeth:
“Lin Yi, you want to get the position of chief disciple, right? Hmph, I, Shangguan Yun, swear on my name and honor that I will never allow you! I will stop you even if it costs me my life!..”
.˙.
“Have you heard? Junior Brother Lin Became a True Disciple!”
“What does "junior" mean? Now he is the eldest. Eh, I knew that one day he would be promoted, but not so soon!”
“Yeah, I should have waited at least a few years, it's just crazy!”
“Apparently Elder Brother Lin is not a human, he is a real monster. Is there any point in comparing yourself to him? It's better to forget.”
“Hmph, how can you be so calm? This is a holiday, golden years await our Huashan again! Or are you so tired of being surprised by his success??”
The students in the upper courtyard were more shocked than pleased at the success of their comrade. But little by little happy conversations began here and there.
.˙.
Han Bai, Yu Hai, and Jiang Xiaoyu gathered together.
“Have you heard? Before Elder Brother Lin had time to return, he was taken up to the true disciples! The whole of Huashan has gone crazy over this news!” Yu Hai exclaimed, clenching his fists tightly in joy..
Xiaoyu looked at him with disdain and grinned:
“Why be surprised? He's a monster, everyone knows that. All we, simple people, can do is watch his miracles and rejoice.”
“Yes, Big Brother Lin is a monster!” Hai agreed, ignoring his comrade’s contemptuous tone.
While they chatted happily, Han Bai sat on the side. Clenching his fists tightly, he raised his head to the top of Mount Hua, and swore to himself: «Senior Brother Lin, I will never admit defeat. You are not the only genius in our generation, I will not lose to someone who did not try to resist me. I may not be destined to catch up with you, but I will go down in history as a worthy comrade of the great hero Lin, and not as his burden!».
Looking at Xiaoyu and Hai, he said in a cold tone:
“Elder Brother Lin has been made a true disciple, he will soon need us. I'm sure you've already thought about this yourself. His goal is the title of chief disciple, I saw this back in the lower courtyard. And now he is one step away from achieving it. If we don't help now, we won't be needed anymore..”
Xiaoyu and Hai nodded and looked at him with shining eyes..
“Bai, you have a plan?”
After thinking for a second, he replied:
“The head disciple is the future head of the sect, therefore, candidates must have two aspects: strength and management ability.”
Xiaoyu and Hai scratched their heads, muttering thoughtfully:
“There is no doubt about the strength, Elder Brother Lin is the strongest and will definitely defeat all opponents. But what kind of management is this??”
“I mean the ability to control a large sect. No tests will help here, only the support of people can show what a person is really worth. In other words, you need to ensure that the majority in the upper and lower court votes for him!”
“Do you think he’s not popular enough?” Xiaoyu snorted. “Even if not all one hundred percent of the students adore him, then ninety percent!”
Han Bai nodded:
“Yes, so I say that as many as ten percent may be against it. And these are thousands of people on Mount Hua and tens of thousands throughout Huashan. The campaign hasn't even started yet, so let's proceed carefully and make sure that Big Brother Lin's enemies can't get together! He very quickly became a favorite of the public, but that is why his foundation is not as stable as, for example, Linghu Feng. Everything must be done to strengthen his position!”
Xiaoyu and Hai nodded.
All three of them longed for Big Brother Lin. They hoped that they would see each other at least after he became the main disciple.
.˙.
“What?! How could he become one?! Why did the Master call everyone for his ceremony??!”
Hearing that Lin Yi had become a true disciple, Lian Rulu felt dizzy and nauseous..
Women's intuition told her that the sun was eclipsed not by the moon, but by a big ass.
A person capable of surpassing his own class and recognized by Master Ouyang Ming himself.
Isn't this a threat to big brother??
Lian Rulu could no longer sit still, she ran to the pavilion where the Seven Heroes of Huashan lived.
Linghu Feng didn't want to become the head disciple, but his brothers and sisters would do anything for him to take this place.
If it goes to someone else, then all their privileges will evaporate like dew in the morning. Will the names of the Seven Heroes of Huashan sound as loud? Who else will continue to believe that they represent the entire sect??
So she couldn't sit still.
.˙.
Yu City, Lin Family.
When the news reached the gates of their estate, the peasants dropped their tools, the maids dropped trays of dishes, and the owners spilled tea over their mouths..
The whole yard screamed with happiness.
Lin Yi has become a true disciple! Now their family will rise to heaven!
As they say, if a man ascends to heaven, then dogs and chickens rise with him.
They are his dogs and chickens, it's time to evolve. In particular, the servants who had sworn allegiance to him shouted joyfully to themselves. They chose the right person and now happy lives await them!
