Chapter 31 Registered Disciple
Upon hearing this, the elders began to think seriously, their eyes scanning the disciples in the square. In the end, only two elders each selected one disciple to be registered under their tutelage.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the disciples were led to the Sword Pavilion to select their spirit swords. The top ten had two incense sticks' worth of time, while the rest only had one.

As they moved to a new location, Master Qingyang suddenly spoke up: "Register that girl under my name."

Master Qingyang has no disciples yet, and now that she is willing to take on a disciple, even if it is just a nominal disciple, Shen Hongxue is happy to see it happen.

However, he didn't remember the girl's name and was about to send someone to ask when Yu Wanwu spoke up: "Her name is Bai Qingci. She is also one of my students. She is a gentle and obedient child. It is the child's good fortune that Master Qingyang is willing to take her under his wing. I would like to thank Master Qingyang on her behalf."

Master Qingyang smiled gently: "It's rare to hear Elder Yu praise someone like this. It seems that the child truly has an excellent character."

Shen Yuanxi interjected from the side, "Master Qingyang, my master has always been strict with people, so it is perfectly normal for you to be surprised. Master would never say these things in front of his junior brothers and sisters."

Yu Wanwu frowned slightly. Seeing this, Shen Yuanxi immediately shut her mouth and silently followed behind.

After calming down for less than two breaths, Shen Yuanxi said again, "Master Qingyang, shall I go and tell Junior Sister Qingci this good news?"

Master Qingyang nodded with a smile: "I'll trouble Yuanxi to make this trip for me."

Shen Yuanxi hurriedly said, "This disciple is just running errands, Master Qingyang, you are too kind."

He glanced at his master, Yu Wanwu, who gave him a look. Shen Yuanxi then stepped back and slipped into the line heading towards the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

When Bai Qingci saw Shen Yuanxi, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She asked in a gentle voice, "Senior Brother Shen, is there something you need from me?"

Shen Yuanxi was in the prime of his life, exuding the spirit of a young man. He was like the rising sun, full of vitality. As soon as he squeezed into the group, several female disciples were secretly moved and couldn't help but cast their gazes at him.

"I have some good news." Shen Yuanxi beckoned to Bai Qingci, "Junior Sister Qingci, come closer to my ear."

Bai Qingci hesitated slightly. She knew the young man was frank and open, but whispering in his ear was a bit too intimate.

Shen Yuanxi hadn't considered these girlish thoughts. He quickly changed his mind and said directly, "It's fine to say it like that."

Before Bai Qingci could catch up with his thoughts, Shen Yuanxi said, "Master Qingyang is willing to accept you as her disciple."

"Me?" Bai Qingci pointed to herself, somewhat incredulous. "How could Master Qingyang accept me as a disciple?"

She didn't know what she possessed that caught the eye of Master Qingyang.

"Senior Brother Shen, is it true that True Person Qingyang wants to take this junior sister as his disciple?"

Shen Yuanxi and Bai Qingci looked up at the person who had deliberately lagged behind and walked to stand next to them.

Everyone knows Gao Qingque, who came in first place in the outer sect competition.

Shen Yuanxi nodded: "Master Qingyang said it himself in front of my master."

Gao Qingque smiled awkwardly, then said, "Congratulations to this junior sister for being able to become a disciple of Master Qingyang."

Bai Qingci was still somewhat dazed from the incident, but she knew that Senior Brother Shen wouldn't make a mistake about something so important; it was True Person Qingyang who was genuinely willing to take her along.

Bai Qingci nodded politely to Gao Qingque.

Shen Yuanxi comforted her, saying, "Although you are only a nominal disciple, Master Qingyang has no disciples. As Junior Sister Qingci, you are essentially her only disciple. Your treatment will not be much worse than that of those who are personally taught. Don't be disappointed."

Bai Qingci shook her head: "Senior Brother Shen is overthinking it."

"Qingci is already very satisfied that Master Qingyang is willing to accept me as a disciple. I will not ask for more."

Gao Qingque chuckled, "If one can become a disciple of Master Qingyang, whether it's a nominal disciple or a personal disciple, what does it matter?" "I do wish I could switch identities with Junior Sister Qingci."

The status of a direct disciple and a nominal disciple is indeed different. Who would want to be a nominal disciple instead of a direct disciple? Neither Shen Yuanxi nor Bai Qingci took his words seriously.

"Junior Sister Qingci, I've delivered the message to you, so I'll be leaving now."

Shen Yuanxi waved and left the group.

The forty winners of the outer sect competition, led by Sect Leader Shen Hongxue and several elders, headed towards the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

*
Chaoyang Peak Square.

Yang Ruo spread her fingers and placed them on her eyelids, counting the number of circles each person had.

Suddenly, two sword lights descended into his field of vision.

"Has anything happened these past few days?"

Gu Pingsheng walked to the rocking chair and lay down, casually asking a question.

Yang Ruo frowned slightly, presented the paper with the record, and whispered, "When I taught for the first time, I was four quarters of an hour late."

"cough."

Gu Pingsheng coughed lightly, which startled Yang Ruo, who quickly apologized, "Master, Master, I know I was wrong. Could you... could you punish me less severely?"

Liang Heng, with great insight, handed Gu Pingsheng a cup of tea.

Gu Pingsheng held his tea but didn't drink it, glancing at the table with his eyes: "You're having a pretty good time as a substitute teacher, aren't you?"

Yang Ruo immediately looked distressed. Who knew his master would return so suddenly? He didn't even have time to put away the tea and snacks.

"This disciple knows his mistake," Yang Ruo said honestly, his head drooping.

Looking at the large table full of food, Liang Heng shook his head, thus ending Yang Ruo's attempt to speak.

"Give them a report on their situation over the past few days. Your mistake will be punished later," Gu Pingsheng said after taking a sip of tea.

Yang Ruo recounted how he was late on the first day, and then spoke of the unpleasant encounter between Wu Chong and Ning Fusang that evening at the missionary's lodge.

Although the two did not have any direct conflict, Ning Shimei had a history of killing her classmates, and Yang Ruo felt that it would be better to tell Gu Pingsheng about this.

If anything goes wrong later, he won't be able to handle it.

Yang Ruo recounted almost everything in detail, including all the events that had occurred during his time as a substitute teacher, with particular emphasis on:
"In addition, Zhou Peier, Chu Tian, ​​Xue Nanzhong, Shi Zhouyun, and Li Yeshan have all practiced Qi cultivation in the past few days."

At this point, Yang Ruowei's eyebrows lit up, waiting for praise.

Gu Pingsheng put down his cup and said calmly, "After all this time, it's time to guide the Qi into the body."

"Oh," Yang Ruo replied listlessly, like a wilted eggplant.

Gu Pingsheng lifted his eyelids and gestured to Liang Heng: "Seal Yang Ruo's spiritual power and make him run laps with the new disciples."

Liang Heng asked, "Master, how many laps will Junior Brother Yang Ruo have to run?"
