The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The crowded people instinctively turned to look at the person speaking, and once they saw who it was, the disciples who had surrounded the area quickly made way for him.

Xuanzhu slowly walked up to the three of them, and the tense atmosphere between Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian eased slightly.

After all, Wen Fuyue had just told them yesterday not to get into arguments outside.

Ning Tinglan bowed and said, "Buddha Xuanzhu."

This title immediately startled everyone.

"Wow, I was just wondering how a fellow disciple I didn't know could be so bold as to shave his head, turns out he's a Buddhist disciple!!"

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten that the Buddhist monks from Chanyin Temple visited our sect yesterday?"

"Wait, what is the Buddhist disciple doing at the academy?"

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, and for a moment, they paid much less attention to the conflict between Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian.

Xuanzhu ignored this and said to Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian, "It is really damaging to the relationship between fellow disciples that you two are fighting over a seat. Senior Wen would also be saddened if he saw it."

Both of them looked guilty when Wen Fuyue was mentioned.

However, Mu Yunjian remembered that his original form sat in this very spot when he attended classes with Yun Yici, and he said confidently, "The Academy does not have strict rules about seat allocation; it is always the case that those who arrive first choose their seats."

He simply couldn't stand seeing Ning Tinglan and Yun Yici sitting together, so affectionate.

Mu Yunjian's life principle is that if he wants something, he will take it himself.

Xuanzhu said, "That's how it should be."

Given Xuanzhu's status, Ning Tinglan, though her expression was not pleasant, still moved her hand away.

Mu Yunjian took the opportunity to sit down, and even after sitting down, he smiled and said, "Thank you for being so kind, Junior Brother Ning."

Xuanzhu added, "This table is for two people. Fellow Daoist Ning can sit next to Fellow Daoist Mu and share the table, so there's no need to fight over it."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian both changed their expressions as if they had swallowed a fly.

Yun Yici immediately understood Xuanzhu's meaning and quickly said, "If it can help the two senior brothers to coexist peacefully, what's wrong with me giving up my position?"

Believe it or not, Xuanzhu people may seem naive and innocent, but they are actually quite cunning.

Sitting to the side, Xie Shiqing quietly gave her a "thumbs up" and pointed to the table behind him, implying that it was still empty.

Just as Yun Yici was about to sit down, Xuanzhu said, "I'm sorry to trouble Fellow Daoist Yun to give up your seat. If you don't mind, please sit with me."

No, could she possibly publicly express her dislike for the Buddhist disciple?

Given Xuanzhu's status, he could choose any seat he wanted, and many of his fellow disciples who were already seated even stood up to offer their seats.

Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian disliked each other and wanted to get up and change seats, but they felt that doing so would make them look inferior to each other and make their previous argument seem ridiculous.

So the two of them could only awkwardly watch as Xuanzhu and Yun Yici sat down behind them.

Only then did Yun Yici have a chance to whisper a reminder: "Master said we are not allowed to start disputes outside, have you forgotten?"

Fortunately, they didn't actually fight. The two are now sitting together harmoniously, and at most, it will be said that they are just joking around as fellow disciples.

She originally intended to introduce Lin Jin and others to Xuan Zhu, but this incident made it too late.

Before the disciples, who had gathered in twos and threes, could return to their places, Yan Jing arrived.

This time, the disciples were not as happy as they were when they saw Yan Jing last time; instead, they wailed incessantly.

"Why is it Elder Yan again? He was here just a few days ago."

"Last time Elder Yan released the sea, so that doesn't count as being here. Don't even think about it. Today will definitely not be as easy as last time."

......

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yun Yici explained to Xuanzhu beside her, "This is Elder Yan Jing. His classes mainly focus on practical combat. He usually selects two pairs of disciples to spar and then publicly executes them live."

"So everyone is afraid of being chosen by him."

"But don't worry, he usually picks Senior Brother Ning first, and the other three are random. Since it's your first day, he probably won't pick you."

Yun Yici thought that Xuanzhu was, after all, a Buddhist disciple, so Yan Jing shouldn't go too far.

After all, Xuanzhu's martial arts prowess is unknown. If he is good at physical exorcism, that's fine. But if he's not good at physical exorcism, today's live stream might turn into a public beating of the Buddha.

This could escalate into a diplomatic incident!!

Yan Jing looked at the disciples scrambling to find seats in their panic and said in a calm tone, "Your discipline is getting more and more lax these days. Are you all planning to stand during class?"

His voice wasn't loud, but its intimidating power made all the disciples present tense up, and within a few breaths, everyone sat up straight.

Yun Yici dared not say anything more, for fear of attracting Yan Jing's attention again.

However, as it turns out, even someone as dazzling as Xuanzhu among a group of sword cultivators with raven-black hair as bright as a light bulb, regardless of whether Yun Yici was low-key or not, Yan Jing would still notice the people around her.

"Yun Yici, is the Buddhist disciple beside you?"

Yun Yici stood up and said, "Yes, Elder Yan."

Yan Jing: "Then please invite the lamp, cough, no, please invite the Buddhist disciple up."

???

Yun Yici was moved to tears. Elder Yan, you've gone too far!

This is a Buddhist disciple, not some new toy of yours.

Xuan Zhu looked exactly like a gentle and harmless handsome young man. When she got close, she could even smell the pleasant sandalwood fragrance emanating from him.

Yun Yici had seen other monks carrying staffs, but their staffs were imposing and extremely tall, looking very heavy. She felt that even Xuanzhu couldn't lift them.

Remembering Wen Fuyue's instructions, Yun Yici said, "This is the first day that the Buddhist disciple has come to the academy. He is not yet familiar with many of the rules. How about I do it?"

Yan Jing looked at Yun Yici, who had volunteered, and laughed, "You? You're going to unleash another whirlwind? Last time you made my class a complete mess."

Seeing this, Xuanzhu stood up and comforted Yun Yici, saying, "It's alright, I'll go up now."

Xuanzhu stood up and walked from his seat to Yan Jing's side. Yan Jing looked him up and down and said, "My classes have no exceptions or special cases. I hope you will understand, Buddhist disciple."

Xuanzhu nodded and said, "That is also what I wish for."

"However, a Buddhist disciple is still a Buddhist disciple, so you may choose any disciple from among all those present."

To everyone's surprise, Yan Jing did not choose a disciple to fight against Xuan Zhu this time, but instead gave the choice to Xuan Zhu.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Xuanzhu's choice.

The handsome and refined young Buddhist cultivator looked around and said, "I am not very familiar with the other fellow cultivators, but I am more familiar with a few fellow cultivators from Wangchen Peak."

"Then please come up and spar with me, Fellow Daoist Ning."

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Jing also said, "As expected of the Buddha's disciple, you chose the most powerful one."
