Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Master... Master, hello."

After quite a while, Chen Tian broke the silence and weakly greeted Lan Wu.

Unlike the ignorant little dragon, Chen Tian had learned many rules of conduct during his years of wandering. He knew that after Lan Yang Zhenren assigned him to Lan Wu, Lan Wu was his master, so he had to be respectful.

Moreover, from the test just now, Chen Tian also understood that his talent for cultivation was not good, so he hoped to use his attitude to win back a bit of Lan Wu's favor.

There was no affection in Lan Wu's words, and they struck Chen Tian's heart coldly, immediately making him feel dizzy and about to faint.

Chen Tian immediately felt very desolate. Back in the town, the residents called him a jinx. Now that he had finally joined the Xianyu Sect, he was called a jinx by his newly recognized master because of his aptitude.

Chen Tian felt helpless. He thought that the world was so big, but there was not a single place where he could find refuge. How could this not make him feel depressed!

In fact, Lan Wu's dislike of Chen Tian was not only because of his poor talent, but also because of a more important reason: Chen Tian had just exposed Ling Yazhi and the spirit mine in front of Lan Yang Zhenren.

This was the real reason why Lan Wu hated Chen Tian.

In fact, Lan Wu knew all about Ling Yazhi's evil deeds in the spirit mine, and not only knew about them, but it could be said that Lan Wu instructed Ling Yazhi to do so.

The deeper reason for this was that Ling Yazhi would secretly send a batch of immortal crystal stones to Lan Wu on a regular basis.

Logically speaking, this spirit mine belonged to the Xianyu Sect, so the immortal crystal stones mined from it should all be handed over to the sect.

But Ling Yazhi did not do so.

Each time he handed over the immortal crystal stones, Ling Yazhi would divide the mined immortal crystal stones into three parts. He secretly took 20%, gave 50% to Lan Wu, and only handed over the remaining 30% to the Xianyu Sect.

So it could be said that Ling Yazhi was able to be so lawless under the protection of Lan Wu, and in return, Lan Wu could also get a large number of immortal crystal stones from Ling Yazhi.

This was originally a win-win situation between Lan Wu and Ling Yazhi, but since Chen Tian reported it to Lan Yang Zhenren today, it meant that it was completely ruined.

So how could Lan Wu not be angry?

At this time, Lan Wu really felt that everything about Chen Tian was unpleasant to his eyes, and it was simply the worst luck!

"Waste!"

After scolding Chen Tian again, Lan Wu walked out of the hall without looking back.

Chen Tian felt bad, but when he saw Lan Wu leaving, he could only grit his teeth and follow closely behind.

However, Chen Tian did not follow too closely, for fear that Lan Wu would scold him again if he got too close.

Although the two were nominally master and disciple at this time, there was an insurmountable gap between them.

The sense of distance created by this gap made Chen Tian feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

After walking out of the main entrance of the hall, Chen Tian found two men also dressed in Xianyu Sect attire waiting there. One was about thirty years old, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and the other was about twenty years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked very handsome.

After seeing Lan Wu, the two bowed together and shouted:

"Lan Ming / Lin Chen"

"Greetings, Senior Brother / Master Head!"

Listening to their words, Chen Tian could vaguely distinguish that the middle-aged man was called Lan Ming, Lan Wu's junior brother, and the young man was called Lin Chen, Lan Wu's disciple.

"Hmph, get up." Seeming to be burdened by Chen Tian, Lan Wu was still in a bad mood at this time, and his attitude towards the two was also cold.

But Lan Ming and Lin Chen did not seem to hear the anger in Lan Wu's tone. After saying thank you, they raised their heads.

Of course, at this time they also noticed Chen Tian, who was a few feet away behind Lan Wu. Curious, Lan Ming spoke first and asked, "Senior Brother Head, who is this young man?"

"Hmph, it's nothing, just a new disciple who joined our Ruosong Courtyard." Lan Wu turned his head and glanced at Chen Tian, once again squeezing a disdainful snort from his nose.

Lan Ming naturally did not know Lan Wu's depression. At this time, after hearing Lan Wu's words, he immediately flattered with a smile, "Ah, so it's a new disciple that Senior Brother has taken in. Then congratulations, congratulations!"

This Lan Ming actually congratulated Lan Wu.

But Lan Wu's face suddenly darkened after hearing this, and the anger that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time was also ignited at once. He kicked Lan Ming's ass, sending him sprawling on the ground, and scolded angrily, "Congratulations my ass! The person I took in wasn't a disciple, but a jinx, you know that?"

Lan Wu didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding it, but roared in front of everyone. After hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but bury his head even lower.

Lan Ming fell to the ground, even more astonished and dumbfounded. He didn't understand what had happened at all.

He wanted to flatter Lan Wu, but he didn't expect to pat the horse's hoof!

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Head, please calm down. Since this junior brother has joined our Ruosong Courtyard, then I will take him to receive some of the necessities for new disciples first, and then bring him to see you later, how about that?"

This Lin Chen was exceptionally intelligent. His words were to give Lan Wu and Chen Tian a way out.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Chen's words, Lan Wu's mood eased a little, but he still waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, you take him down first, and come to see me at midnight."

"Disciple obeys."

Lin Chen respectfully responded, then walked to Chen Tian, gave him a hearty smile, and said, "This junior brother, please come with me."

This was perhaps the first warm smile Chen Tian had seen since coming to the Xianyu Sect. He immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards Lin Chen, nodded heavily, and followed him out of the hall.

It wasn't until Chen Tian and the others had walked far away that Lan Wu put his hands behind his back and said lightly, "Alright, get up. How is the matter I told you to do last time going?"

Although he was depressed, after hearing this sentence, Lan Ming hurriedly got up from the ground and whispered into Lan Wu's ear, "Senior Brother, don't worry, I have already contacted seventeen deacons from various branch halls. The remaining three are also interested in joining us. We are just waiting for you to raise your arms and call for a joint rebellion to pull Lan Yang down from the position of headmaster!"

It turned out that Lan Wu was already very dissatisfied with Lan Yang's suppression. Although he had always been obedient to Lan Yang on the surface, he was secretly contacting various high-level figures within the Xianyu Sect, planning to launch a rebellion to overthrow Lan Yang.

"Very good." After hearing Lan Ming's report, Lan Wu's face, which had been gloomy, finally showed a hint of joy.

But immediately afterwards, his eyes turned cold again, and he said disdainfully, "Lan Yang, I have been your dog for more than thirty years, and from today onwards, I will finally get my revenge!"

When he said this, Lan Wu's expression was extremely vicious!
