I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

Ahead is the golden summit of Xiaoyao Sect.

The clouds slowly descended, and when they landed, they turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

Xie Chenzhou was no longer seriously injured. Sang Nian let go of his hand with relief, straightened his clothes, and looked up at the magnificent hall in front of him.

Her attention was drawn to a huge stone beside the temple.

There are several lines of large characters engraved on it with vigorous strokes.

【No Challenge】

Fear of victory

【Sleepy, sleepy】

[difficult, difficult, difficult]

"This is the motto of our Xiaoyao Sect."

Su Xueyin and Chu Yao appeared out of nowhere, walked up to her and introduced her kindly.

"If you don't challenge, you're afraid of defeating, and you're stuck, stuck, stuck, and difficult?"

Sang Nian praised:

"It is indeed the sect motto of Xiaoyao Sect. It is very unique."

Xie Chenzhou raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yao seemed to have heard a joke and laughed so hard that she fell over.

Su Xueyin said awkwardly: "It is to overcome difficulties, challenge difficulties, and not be afraid of difficulties."

Sang Nian: “…”

Well, the flattery hit the horse's leg.

Chu Yao suppressed a smile and said, "I think the sect motto you mentioned is better than this."

Sang Nian held his forehead with his hand: "Don't make fun of me."

Su Xueyin smiled gently and said:

"I haven't congratulated you and Master Xie on passing the selection yet. We will be fellow disciples from now on. I will take good care of you."

Sang Nian: "Hey, thank you."

"Let's go into the hall," Chu Yao put her arm around her shoulders and asked as they walked, "Have you decided who you want to be your master?"

Sang Nian: "Can I still choose a master?"

Chu Yao: "Others can't do it, but you probably can."

Sang Nian: "Why?"

"I'm not sure either," Chu Yao said, "Maybe it's because you performed too well?"

"Anyway, when I came out, I heard several elders talking about accepting you as their apprentice. My master even specifically asked the two of us to persuade you. So, do you want to be our apprentice sister?"

She pointed at Xie Chenzhou with her chin, "And this pretty boy, I can also reluctantly let him be my junior apprentice brother."

Xie Chenzhou: “Heh.”

Sang Nian: "Who is your master?"

Su Xueyin said: "It's the Great Elder. He is in charge of all the book collection pavilions in Xiaoyao Sect."

Sang Nian suddenly realized: "No wonder you knew that my brother donated two library buildings."

Su Xueyin smiled shyly and introduced:

"There are twelve elders in Xiaoyao Sect. Except for the Sect Master who no longer accepts disciples, the elders will usually choose three to five of you to be true disciples. The status and resources of true disciples are higher than those of inner and outer disciples."

"The one with the most seniority is our master, the Great Elder. If you accept him as your master, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future practice."

After listening to her popular science, Sang Nian fell into deep thought.

In the original book, Xie Chenzhou was accepted as a disciple by the second elder, and it would probably be the same this time. Would he have to have the same master as him?

The tower near the water gets the moon first.

If we are closer, the mission should be much smoother, right?

Thinking this, they walked into the hall.

Instantly, countless eyes were cast over.

Sang Nian quickly glanced at the situation in the hall.

The twelve elders sat at the top, and in the center was a huge and magnificent throne with an empty seat, probably because only the sect leader was qualified to sit on it.

Hundreds of Xiaoyao Sect disciples stood in a neat row below, with Wen Buyu leading the way.

A little in front of them, seven people who had passed the freshman selection stood with their hands hanging down, looking a little uneasy.

Chu Yao whispered, "These are the true disciples and inner disciples who are currently staying in the sect. The outer disciples are not qualified to come."

Sang Nian nodded and walked towards the seven people.

There were three men and four women in total, all of them were quite old. They looked at her and Xie Chenzhou with curiosity and whispered to each other.

"Didn't she fall off the cliff? How did she get here?"

"Yes, could it be that the elders rescued her?"

"Is this considered partiality? If someone else did this, they would definitely be eliminated."

"That's right. She's dressed so nicely, she probably got it through the backdoor. What's the big deal?"

"that--"

Sang Nian coughed dryly and showed them his eight fine white teeth:

"I climbed up by myself, honestly, without any help from the elders."

They were stunned, then smiled contemptuously.

No one believed her.

"You don't have to believe it, but you can't spread rumors." Sang Nian said politely, "Otherwise I will hit you. I have a bad temper and I have no manners."

They froze, then silently took a few steps to the side and stood far away from her.

……

Chu Yao and Su Xueyin also returned to their own teams.

"Is everyone here?" The Great Elder cleared his throat and said loudly, "Then, the Xiaoyao Sect's new disciple initiation ceremony will begin now..."

"and many more!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

At the door, Shen Mingchao hurried over. I don’t know if he was too tired or too nervous, he fell down repeatedly on the road, running very stumblingly, shouting:

"And me! I am also a new disciple of Xiaoyao Sect!"

This scene was so funny that everyone burst into laughter.

Shen Mingchao stood to the left of Sang Nian, where several people had left their seats empty. He was panting and said to the Great Elder:

"Yes, we can start now."

Seeing this, the great elder's serious face also showed a smile:

"Then the initiation ceremony for new disciples will begin now."

The ancient bell hanging high in the dome rang, and everyone quickly restrained their expressions and waited with bated breath.

In a solemn atmosphere, several disciples presented a wooden tray with a waist badge made of pure silver on it. The front of the tray was engraved with the three big characters "Xiaoyao Sect" and the sect's logo, while the back was blank.

Sang Nian and the others each reached out and took a piece.

The Great Elder said: "Silently recite your own name in your heart."

Sang Nian did as he was told.

Suddenly, the badge burned her palm.

She turned it over and saw that there were two more words on the blank back, which were her name [Sang Nian].

The same scenario happened to others.

"This is your proof of being a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect. Remember to keep it well and don't lose it." The Great Elder said, "If you meet fellow disciples while traveling, be sure to help each other."

Except for Xie Chenzhou, the nine new disciples were extremely excited and said in unison:

"Follow the elders' instructions!"

The Great Elder shook his sleeves, and ten glass lamps appeared out of thin air, hanging in front of them.

"This is the lamp of life, with blood as the wick. When a person dies, the lamp goes out."

He explained:

"If anything happens to you, the sect will know immediately and send people to collect your body."

The new disciples looked at each other, and a girl asked in a low voice: "Won't you avenge us?"

The Great Elder said kindly, "If you die a violent death, it will happen."

She stammered and shut her mouth.

"Now, drop a drop of blood in and light the lamp of life."

Everyone cut their fingertips.

Sang Nian couldn't bear it, so he handed the dagger to Xie Chenzhou, "You come, just make a small cut, a very small one."

Xie Chenzhou frowned, and the tip of the knife pierced into her soft fingertips little by little, and a bead of bright red blood slowly gathered.

He used to often cut off people's fingers at the root or directly sever the meridians in their palms. His knife was quick and steady.

This was the first time he picked up the knife without any murderous intent.

He twirled his fingertips awkwardly and stepped aside.

Sang Nian squeezed a drop of blood into the glass lamp.

Not burning.

Sang Nian: “?”

She squeezed out another drop.

The light exploded.

Sang Nian: “!”
