Lin Beichen's mind was full of missionary matters and he forgot about the ceremony that was still going on. Zhou Yi was busy all by himself.

After a while, the ceremony was successfully completed. Zhou Yi struck while the iron was hot and spread the news of joining the religion to everyone.

"You heard what the missionaries said just now. They are not hired by us. You also saw them praying for rain. What are you waiting for? Come and join us."

As soon as Zhou Yi said this, someone in the audience raised his hand and responded loudly: "Write my name, I'll be the first to join."

With a good beginning, the rest went much more smoothly. Many people raised their hands and wanted to join the church, fearing that Zhou Yi couldn't hear them. Suddenly the scene was filled with noise.

Zhou Yi never thought that the ceremony could be completed so smoothly and that so many people would be able to convert to the religion. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

But Lin Beichen on the side frowned, as if he was worried about something. Zhou Yi was too busy to care about so much, and was busy with the matter of joining the sect.

After a while, the list was filled with names of people who had joined the church. With the end of the initiation ceremony, Lin Beichen also went back.

The scene changed, Lin Beichen was meditating, but was interrupted by Zhou Yi who came in. Zhou Yi wanted to show off that many people had just joined the sect, so he handed over a list.

"Look, this is the person who just joined the sect. I didn't expect our influence to be so great. They all joined the sect one after another, and we couldn't stop them."

Zhou Yi's words did not cause any reaction from Lin Beichen. Lin Beichen continued to meditate on his own without saying a word, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

Zhou Yi smiled bitterly and asked, "What are you thinking about? There are so many people joining the church, and I don't think you are happy at all."

Lin Beichen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Yi who was puzzled and said, "It's not that I don't care about the church. I think those missionaries just now are not simple."

Zhou Yi laughed out loud: "What is there to worry about? I think you are just too suspicious. We have already accepted so many people into the religion. Next we should consider how to manage these people instead of thinking about some inexplicable things."

Lin Beichen didn't want to continue explaining, and said casually: "Go and do your thing."

Things after joining the sect still need to be properly handled. Just like Lin Beichen said, Zhou Yi has no time to chat with him about this topic. So he left a message before leaving:

"Don't say I didn't warn you. You can just treat those missionaries as a minor incident in the ceremony. Don't be so suspicious. It won't do you any good."

Lin Beichen didn't take Zhou Yi's kind reminder to heart at all. He stood up without saying a word, walked straight to the inner room, and threw the mat away casually.

Then, he sat down and continued to meditate in the inner room. Zhou Yi was very angry when he saw this. Although he was unhappy, he still left angrily because of the courtesy.

But not long after Zhou Yi left, there was a noise outside. It turned out that a man had an argument with the guard at the gate. Zhou Yi waved his hand to signal the guard to let the man in. The guard saw that it was Zhou Yi and did not say much.

It was obvious that this man was not a threat, which was why Zhou Yi let him in. Moreover, this man made a face at the guard.

After some questioning, Zhou Yi learned that this person had just joined the church, but it was wrong for him to cause trouble here.

"I'm not causing any trouble, I just want to see Lin Beichen." said the man.

Zhou Yi thought it was not a difficult task, but if everyone who joined the church was like this, what would happen? So he wanted to find an excuse to get rid of him.

"Lin Beichen is resting and doesn't want to be disturbed. You should come back later." Zhou Yi said.

Having said this, Zhou Yi thought that the man would leave, but he had no intention of leaving.

Seeing that the man was reluctant to leave, Zhou Yi asked in confusion: "Why don't you leave? I told you that Lin Beichen is resting and we can't disturb him."

But that person acted as if he would not give up until he saw Lin Beichen. He crossed his arms over his chest, raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky with his head tilted to the side.

Zhou Yi had a headache, thinking, isn't this embarrassing for me? But he thought again, as long as no one saw it, no one would gossip about it.

So Zhou Yi looked around and said, "Wait for me here. I'll go see if Lin Beichen is resting and then make plans."

The man nodded, completely different from his rebellious look just now. He stood there obediently, waiting for Zhou Yi to check the situation.

Lin Beichen was interrupted by Zhou Yi again, and an impatient look appeared on his face. He was about to start cursing, but Zhou Yi spoke first:
"There's a man at the door. He's the disciple I just accepted today. He wants to see you. But I said you were resting and couldn't be disturbed. But his attitude was very firm. I couldn't make up my mind, so I came to ask you."

After saying that, Zhou Yi muttered to himself that if it weren't for this emergency, he wouldn't have the audacity to come to Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen thought, if Zhou Yi couldn't drive him away, then he certainly couldn't drive him away either. So, he had no choice but to let the man in to see what was going on.

Under Zhou Yi's guidance, the man jumped in front of Lin Beichen. When he saw Lin Beichen, he sat down close to him and pretended to be well-behaved.

Lin Beichen was a little uncomfortable and immediately said, "Don't try to get close to me. I just want to know why you want to see me so much."

The man was also straightforward and said that he wanted to ask Lin Beichen a few questions, and that he had heard from somewhere that Lin Beichen was very capable and wanted to become Lin Beichen's disciple.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. It turned out that he came to become a disciple. But this kind of becoming a disciple was too insincere, wasn't it?

"So you are here to become my disciple? I thought there was something going on between you and Lin Beichen, you are so determined. But you are too insincere, aren't you?" Zhou Yi sneered.

The man glanced at Zhou Yi and ignored him. In his heart, Lin Beichen was the eternal god.

So, the man said disdainfully: "I am not worshipping you as my master, don't you know how much you are worth?"

Zhou Yi was so angry that he almost attacked, but his hand stopped in mid-air and then dropped again. If he attacked like this, it would seem that he was angry out of shame.

After thinking about it, he decided to give up.

"I think you don't understand. If you take Lin Beichen as your master, then do you know what I am to you? How can you talk to your elders like that?" Zhou Yi said.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi's words made the man speechless. But he still cast his eyes on Lin Beichen, looked at him with eager eyes, and said pleadingly: "I joined the church because of you. I have a lot of questions to ask you. Are you willing to accept me as a disciple?"

Lin Beichen refused without even thinking: "Become my disciple? I never accept disciples, so forget it."

Unexpectedly, Lin Beichen rejected Hu Yi directly, while Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing. The discordant laughter immediately attracted Hu Yi's attention. Lin Beichen was confused. He rejected Hu Yi, but why did Zhou Yi laugh so happily? The two stared at him straight, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Hu Yi pouted and said to Zhou Yi in dissatisfaction: "What are you laughing at? Is it really funny that I was rejected by Lin Beichen? Or do you think I am not worthy of being his apprentice?"

Seeing Hu Yi's excitement, Zhou Yi quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "I was not laughing at you just now, but I suddenly thought of something happy."

Lin Beichen also hurried to help Zhou Yi out: "How can I be qualified to be your master? I still have a lot to learn. However, since you have joined the church, let's make progress together."

After hearing Lin Beichen's words, Hu Yi slowly shifted her gaze. Zhou Yi scratched the back of his head, grateful to Lin Beichen for helping him out.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yi suddenly fell to the ground with a plop, and said unreasonably: "If you don't agree to take me as your disciple today, I will lie here and not leave."

Seeing this, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh, but he learned from his mistakes. He knew that Lin Beichen had his own way to deal with this situation and there was no need for him to intervene.

Lin Beichen also realized that Hu Yi was a woman disguised as a man. He felt helpless about her unreasonable behavior and could only persuade her not to cause trouble here.

"It's useless for you to lie here. I have decided not to accept any apprentices. No matter how much you do, it will be in vain. I hope you won't do anything extreme!"

Hu Yi, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued to lie on the ground, not saying a word. Helpless, Lin Beichen had no choice but to say to Zhou Yi, "Why are you still standing there? Get him out."

Zhou Yi slowly stood up and walked towards Hu Yi, ready to pull her out. But when he touched Hu Yi, he found that she was a woman and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Obviously, Zhou Yi's pulling had no effect on Hu Yi, she was still rolling on the ground and acting like a spoiled child.

"I've already told you, if you don't accept me as your disciple today, I'll lie on the ground and not leave."

Zhou Yi spread his hands and thought that it would be better for Lin Beichen to handle this matter himself. He was embarrassed enough just now, who knew what else Hu Yi would do.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't do anything to her, Hu Yi seemed a little proud. At this moment, Lin Beichen took out a talisman and threw it casually, and Hu Yi disappeared into the room along with the talisman.

When she opened her eyes, she was already outside the temple. She tore off the talisman on her body, pondered it, and understood the reason for her teleportation.

Zhou Yi was wondering when Lin Beichen said, "I'm going to continue meditating. I've teleported her outside the temple, but she will definitely come back. Go and help me stop her, don't let her disturb me again."

Zhou Yi understood what he meant, nodded, and went outside the temple, stopping Hu Yi who wanted to go in.

"Stop!"

"Lin Beichen's attitude is very clear, so just give up on it. No one can force him to do something he has decided. Don't force me to do anything to you."

Hu Yi responded dissatisfiedly: "I didn't do anything bad. I just wanted to be his apprentice and exchange experiences. What did I do wrong?"

"You're not wrong, but you're being disingenuous."

Hu Yi ignored Zhou Yi's sarcasm.

In order to dissuade her from this idea, Zhou Yi continued to ask: "Aren't you angry at all for what he did to you just now? Do you still want to continue to worship him as your master?"

Zhou Yi wanted to use provocation to make Hu Yi give up the idea, but he didn't expect that Lin Beichen's behavior just now not only did not make Hu Yi feel disgusted, but made her admire Lin Beichen even more.

"You and I are not the same kind of people, and I don't want to waste time talking to you. You don't need to care how he treats me. Anyway, I want to take him as my master."

No matter what Zhou Yi said, Hu Yi was still determined to take Lin Beichen as his master. Zhou Yi had no choice, but he was determined not to let Hu Yi take another step.

If she wanted to be Lin Beichen's disciple, the most important thing was to meet Lin Beichen. But now Zhou Yi had become her biggest obstacle.

So Hu Yi wanted to leave here first, let Zhou Yi think that he had given up the idea, and then find a way to return to Lin Beichen and explain it to him clearly.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. I don't want to go in. But you have lost a very good apprentice." After saying this, Hu Yi turned around and left.

Zhou Yi looked at Hu Yi's receding back and said to himself, "That's the right way to go. You should know the current situation and not run around like a headless fly."

After a long time, Zhou Yi didn't see Hu Yi again. He was sure that she must have given up the idea of ​​becoming his disciple, so he left with peace of mind.

However, Hu Yi had actually been observing Zhou Yi in secret. As soon as Zhou Yi left, she appeared at the door triumphantly, muttering, "How could I give up so easily? I must become his apprentice."

Hu Yi sneaked along and finally came to the place where Lin Beichen was meditating. She looked through the window and saw Lin Beichen meditating with his eyes closed, so she quietly climbed in.

Lin Beichen had actually noticed Hu Yi's arrival a long time ago, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that even if he used a spell to drive her away, she would still come back. So, he thought, if nothing happened, he would let her stay by his side.

Hu Yi entered the room smoothly, and seeing that Lin Beichen didn't notice her, she sat down behind the screen in a formal manner. She crossed her legs, put her hands on her thighs, and began to observe Lin Beichen's movements carefully.

She kept comparing her sitting posture with Lin Beichen's. She looked at Lin Beichen, then looked at herself, and after finding that they were somewhat similar, she closed her eyes.

Lin Beichen kept glancing at Hu Yi out of the corner of his eye. Although her movements were still a little stiff, her spirit was still worthy of recognition.

Unconsciously, several hours passed. Lin Beichen began to waver in his heart. Based on her perseverance, Lin Beichen still had some praise for her.

Suddenly, a cough sounded, and Hu Yi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Beichen. It turned out that this was just a test by Lin Beichen, he wanted to see if Hu Yi was absorbed in the state of trance.

Seeing that Lin Beichen still had his eyes closed, Hu Yi heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a normal cough. She thought to herself, it's a good thing that Lin Beichen didn't notice her, otherwise he would be driven to the gate of the temple again.

At this moment, Lin Beichen received a system notification: "This person can be accepted as a personal disciple." Lin Beichen had no reason to refuse, so he said: "Come out."

Hu Yi hadn't realized that Lin Beichen was calling her, and was just trying to find a place to hide. Lin Beichen continued, "Don't hide, I found you a long time ago."

Hu Yi realized that she had been exposed, so she walked out from behind the screen with a smile on her face and kept grinning at Lin Beichen to ease the embarrassment.

She wanted to explain something, but Lin Beichen said, "I promise you, I will take you as my disciple." (End of this chapter)
