After I crossed into the book, I stole the protagonist's master Bai Yueguang

Liu Yishu finally got her wish and went out with Xu Weichen.

However, in order not to irritate the old-fashioned and conservative elder who kept the precepts, he changed back into the white fox fur coat that was worth thirty top-grade spirit stones.

The Discipline Department, perhaps because he felt guilty for almost causing Chaoyang to go insane, did not lose his temper when he saw Master Xu Weichen and his apprentice. He just put on a gloomy face and said, "Since you brought your apprentice with you, let him go on the path of self-examination, so that I don't have to send people to invite him again and again!"

"What is the road to self-examination?" Liu Yishu asked in a puzzled manner.

"Didn't your master tell you that only after you have gone through the path of self-examination can you be considered a disciple of Mount Tai Cang?" Fang Shanru explained quickly, then turned his spearhead to Xu Weichen and questioned, "You didn't even tell him this common sense. Do you really want to accept him as your disciple?"

Xu Weichen's face looked very bad, and he replied in a deep voice, "My disciple is not in good health, and cannot walk the path of self-examination."

Fang Shanru's appearance had nothing to do with his name. He was tall and rugged. He stared at Xu Weichen with a pair of eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. "To enter Taicang Mountain, you must first ask about your heart. This is the rule set by the Grandmaster. Do you want the Grandmaster to make an exception for your disciple?"

In the past, Xu Weichen was still very scared by his gaze, but now, maybe because of his improved cultivation, or maybe because Xiaoshu was standing behind him, he didn't feel scared, but just a little amused, "It's not like there is no precedent like this in Taicang Mountain. Didn't the disciples accepted by the guest elders before all follow the path of self-examination?"

This sentence made Fang Shanru's anger level soar a few points, "You also said that it was the treatment of a guest elder. Are you a guest elder?"

Seeing him like this, Xu Weichen calmed down instead, "If you must let Xiaoshu go on the path of self-examination, then I can be a guest elder!"

The so-called guest elders are a very special kind of existence in Taicang Mountain. They are worshipped by the sect but not bound by the sect. They only need to stay in the sect to intimidate powerful enemies when the sect needs them.

With Xu Weichen's Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, he is qualified to become a guest elder of Taicang Mountain. However, since he is called a guest elder, he is just a guest and does not belong to Taicang Mountain.

What Xu Weichen meant by this sentence is that if Liu Yishu must go on the path of self-examination, then he can choose to withdraw from Taicang Mountain.

For a sect, especially a large sect like Taicang Mountain, it is acceptable to expel a disciple from the sect, but if a disciple voluntarily withdraws from the sect, it is equivalent to treason.

There is no such thing as hiring traitors as guest elders, the fight will only continue until one's death.

As expected, when Xu Weichen said this, Fang Shanru looked at him in disbelief, the anger on his face reached its peak. He flipped his wide sleeves and a stream of energy swept towards Xu Weichen.

If Xu Weichen was still only at the Jindan level, even if he had reached the Jindan Great Perfection, he would have been seriously injured by this energy. However, he was now at the Yuanying Great Perfection, and his cultivation was even higher than Fang Shanru. He was also always on guard against Fang Shanru attacking him at the slightest disagreement, so he reacted immediately and set up a barrier to block Fang Shanru's angry attack.

Fang Shanru was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly that the person in front of him was no longer the little disciple who could only be at his mercy. Xu Weichen's cultivation was already far above his!

His face instantly turned the color of liver. After a long pause, he said, "Listen to what you are saying. You are the sect master's direct disciple. It was the sect master who brought you back to Taicang Mountain, raised you, and nurtured you with all his heart. He invested a lot in you, and this is how you repay him? For a disciple, you are actually going to betray the sect?!"

This is where the emotional card begins.

It’s just that Fang Shanru may not have done such a thing since he became the elder who guards the precepts, and his tone of voice is still strong and stiff. If Xu Weichen has a bad temper, he would probably turn against him on the spot.

"I am just stating my position. Law is nothing more than human feelings. Xiaoshu really cannot find a way out of his conscience. There is no need for the elders to make things difficult for him!" Xu Weichen said calmly.

Then, without waiting for Fang Shanru to say anything else, he changed the subject and asked aggressively, "The elder got angry for no reason at Xiaoyue Peak today and almost caused my eldest disciple to go astray. Shouldn't the elder give me an explanation?"

Fang Shanru was in the wrong and was choked to the point of being speechless.

"Elder, as an elder who observes the precepts and is familiar with the precepts of Mount Taicang, you should naturally understand how innocent Chaoyang is. You have taught us since childhood that we must take responsibility for our mistakes. Don't you need to bear the consequences if you make a mistake yourself?" Xu Weichen continued to question him without giving him a chance to breathe.

Fang Shanru was very upset, but it was indeed because of his anger that the child almost got into trouble. He felt guilty. Now that Xu Weichen pressed him, he simply took out a few bottles of elixirs and a magical tool that could be used in the foundation-building period from his storage ring and stuffed them all into Xu Weichen. "These are my compensation to him. You apologize to him on my behalf! But one thing is for another. Taicang Mountain will never set a precedent for you. If you, as a disciple, don't follow the path of self-examination, you will not be qualified to enter the sect's ancestral hall. You are not justified and will always be criticized in the future!"

Hearing him say this, Xu Weichen's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. However, there was no point arguing with this old-fashioned man about this matter. "If the elder is truly feeling guilty, he should go and apologize to Chaoyang in person! Goodbye!" After saying that, he took Liu Yishu's hand and left.

"Master, what exactly is the path of self-examination? Why can't I walk on it?" Liu Yishu asked curiously on Feiyu.

"It is the 9,999 stone steps in front of the mountain gate. They are ordinary stone steps at ordinary times. After the trial begins, there will be illusions when you step on the stone steps, which is a great test of your state of mind. If you are kind-hearted, you may be able to finish the steps in a few steps, but if you are greedy, you will not be able to climb the 9,999 steps. After the trial begins, there is a limit of one hour. If you walk out of the illusion within one hour, the trial is considered a success!"

"Master, how long did it take you to pass the trial back then?" Liu Yishu asked with interest.

Xu Weichen recalled for a moment before saying, "When I was ten years old, half a cup of tea."

five minutes?

"Master is so powerful!" Liu Yishu looked at Xu Weichen with sparkling eyes and exclaimed.

"Master must be the fastest to pass the trial in the past three thousand years at Taicang Mountain!"

"I was young and simple-minded back then. If it were now, I might not be able to do it." Xu Weichen felt very touched by Liu Yishu's admiring look, but he still explained with dignity.

That is indeed impossible, after all, the Heavenly Dao is a cowardly thing that has nothing to do with human affairs.

Although he thought so in his heart, he said without thinking: "Master, you are too modest. If it were now, it would be even faster!" After the praise, he changed the subject, "But if it is just a test of your state of mind, I think I can give it a try."

"There's no need to try." Xu Weichen refused without even thinking about it.

Afraid that Liu Yishu would think too much, he explained: "It's not that I don't trust your character, I just don't want you to go through the trouble of climbing the stone steps. Moreover, after the trial is successful, you need to take your life essence and blood to make the disciple's life card. How can you take blood when your body is so weak? It's better not to go for the trial in the first place!"

"Did Master also use blood to make a life tablet back then?" Liu Yishu asked thoughtfully.

"I took it." Xu Weichen's heart moved, and he answered calmly.

"The life essence and blood are so important that we cannot let them be in the hands of others. Let's find a chance to take back your life essence and blood, and also take back our brother's as well." Liu Yishu whispered in Xu Weichen's ear.

Xu Weichen's heart was beating fast. It felt so good to be remembered all the time. Because of this, he would not let Xiaoshu take any risks.

"The life tablet is placed in the sect's ancestral hall. There are many barriers and strict guards there. It is not advisable to act rashly. After I become a god, I will directly ask the sect for it."

"I think it's more appropriate to get it back before the tribulation. The divine thunder tribulation is extremely dangerous and no mistakes can be made. What if someone with bad intentions wants to take the opportunity to harm Master? Since it's not easy to enter the sect's ancestral hall, then just go in openly. Isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to place my life tablet there?" Liu Yishu suggested excitedly.

"I won't let you take risks for a drop of blood!" Xu Weichen refused without thinking.

"Okay!" Liu Yishu deliberately sighed heavily in Xu Weichen's ear, and the warm air flowed straight into Xu Weichen's ears, as if Liu Yishu blew a breath into his ears.

Xu Weichen's body shuddered, his back instantly straightened, his face began to feel hot, and his ears felt like they were burning.

"Xiaoshu!" Xu Weichen called out his name helplessly.

Liu Yishu looked at his red ears and smiled with satisfaction.

There is no rush. He will compromise on behalf of Xu Weichen when someone with more influence comes to put pressure on him.
