Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 733 - Paying Respects to the Master

Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Paying Respects to the Master [Third Update] Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Paying Respects to the Master [Third Update] The crowd didn’t quite believe Li Xiaoyao’s words, but no one dared to contradict him.

Li Xiaoyao knew that these fellows were waiting to see him embarrass himself; he said, “There are two honorary Elders in Xiaoyao Sect, Jiang Lichun of Xuan Sect and Cheng Dongliang from the military region of Lu Province.”

“Besides, there are another two Elders and seven managers.” After Li Xiaoyao spoke these words, Tang Tiantian was full of questions. Elders? Managers? When had all this happened? Why didn’t she know anything about it?

Li Xiaoyao said, “Now, may I invite the two honorary Elders of Xiaoyao Sect to come onstage.”

A wry smile appeared on Cheng Dongliang’s face; the kid really was cunning, yet he couldn’t really say anything about it.

Jiang Lichun had been prepared for a while, just waiting for this moment.

After the two men went onstage, the guests found themselves at a loss for words; in terms of cultivation level, Cheng Dongliang might be somewhat weaker, but with his status, who would dare to speak up?

...

The crowd’s gaze shifted around, and after looking around for a while, they didn’t see the other two Elders.

Nie Xiaoqian and Jiuyin, who had received a telepathic message from Li Xiaoyao, were quite helpless; they hadn’t been informed about any of these matters in advance.

However, given the situation, they definitely had to go up, as it concerned the face of Xiaoyao Sect.

When the two of them walked up, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Nie Xiaoqian was not too bad, since not many people had seen her.

But Jiuyin was different; there was a time when Jiuyin’s popularity was even higher than Li Xiaoyao’s, and if he hadn’t chosen to hide himself because he found it troublesome, with his looks, becoming a national heartthrob would have been no problem at all.

“This is Jiuyin, and this is Nie Xiaoqian, two of Xiaoyao Sect’s Elders,” he introduced.

“As for the seven managers, I believe everyone is familiar with them. They are Tang Tiantian, Zhang Meng, Cheng Yiyi, Xiao Ya…”

The crowd only knew that Li Xiaoyao had many women by his side; this was the first time they saw all of them together.

Seven women standing in a row onstage made quite a beautiful scene.

The beauty and elegance of the seven women were second to none, and even the most powerful cultivators couldn’t help but be moved by the sight.

Besides them was Nie Xiaoqian.

Her ethereal, otherworldly charm was as if a Heavenly Immortal had descended to the mortal realm.

At that moment, the sound of dense footfalls arose from the distance, as a group of people walked towards them from outside.

The sound of footsteps drew the attention of many; Li Xiaoyao looked over as well.

There were about seventy people in the coming group, and Li Xiaoyao didn’t recognize any of them, but he could clearly sense that all of them were cultivators.

“It’s the Canglang Unit!” Cheng Dongliang commented from the side.

“Canglang Unit?” Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. “Why are they here?”

“Don’t ask me, I have no idea,” replied Cheng.

Amidst the confusion, the Canglang Unit, numbering over seventy, had already arrived. The middle-aged man leading them saluted Cheng Dongliang with a military gesture and said, “Military Governor Cheng.”

Then, facing Li Xiaoyao, he said, “Sect Leader Li, these men behind me are the seventy most outstanding in cultivation talent from my Canglang Unit. We heard today about the grand opening ceremony of Xiaoyao Sect and the recruitment of disciples, so we brought our men to try our luck and see if they might catch Sect Leader Li’s discerning eye.”

“Holy shit—the Canglang Unit from one of the top ten military regions has actually come as a group to seek apprenticeship? That’s like… too much… ”

“I thought no one was going to be an apprentice, but it seems there was some preparation after all.”

The constant twists and turns left some people already a bit lost.

Li Xiaoyao nodded, his appreciation for the Canglang Unit increasing a bit; at the very least, their presence today had alleviated the awkwardness of having no disciples.

Seventy people, a bit few, but still better than having no disciples at all.

Although the number was small, Li Xiaoyao adhered to quality over quantity and outright refused to take disciples if their talent didn’t meet the standards.

“Close your eyes,” Li Xiaoyao said indifferently.

The soldiers may not have entirely understood, but they still closed their eyes as instructed, while the team leader stood aside.

The guests were also curiously looking over.

Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and gently waved it, enveloping the seventy people in an energy shield, their faces showing relaxed expressions.

As time ticked by, about five minutes had passed, and some people began to grow impatient.

“Putting on airs, this is the first time I’ve seen such a method for choosing disciples.”

When the time was about right, Li Xiaoyao withdrew the energy shield, and at that moment, several people slowly and abruptly opened their eyes, but many others still had their eyes closed.

Li Xiaoyao was not very satisfied; out of seventy people, only five passed his assessment.

The method of assessment was actually quite simple: set up a basic Illusion Array and immerse them in it. With ten minutes as the limit, those who could break through the Illusion Array in time passed the test.

Clearly, there were only five people who noticed something amiss and came to their senses.

Li Xiaoyao said, “You five, have passed.”

“What!”

“Only five people passed?”

“Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated? Out of seventy people, only taking five? That’s really not showing Long Ren any face.”

The crowd felt that Li Xiaoyao’s actions were a slap in the face to Long Ren, and the middle-aged man leading Long Ren also didn’t look too pleased.

They had thought that Li Xiaoyao would recruit at least forty or fifty people, but it turned out he didn’t even take one-tenth of that number.

Five people, how were they supposed to report back with that?

At that moment, another set of footsteps was heard from afar.

The newcomers numbered about a hundred, and this time, without Cheng Dongliang having to point it out, Li Xiaoyao had already recognized them.

It was the Canglang Unit.

“Canglang Unit, Captain Feng Longwei, reporting for mentorship!” Feng Longwei saluted militarily, his voice as resonant as a bell, exceptionally loud.

Li Xiaoyao had some good impressions of Feng Longwei, solely because he had once saved Cheng Yiyi.

However, good impressions were one thing; if they did not meet the criteria, he would not take them just the same.

“First Long Ren, now Canglang, is something big brewing?”

Before they had finished speaking, another round of footsteps began, and this time the footsteps were more concentrated than before. From these details, one could surmise that the newcomers were at least several hundred strong.

“The Unparalleled Unit, reporting for mentorship!”

“The Dragon Soul Unit, reporting for mentorship!”

“The Wolf Fang Squad, reporting for mentorship!”

“…”

Nine of the top ten elite military units had arrived all at once.

The scene suddenly became eerily quiet; the nine units together numbered over a thousand people, which packed this space to bursting.

Each one was a Cultivator, their Cultivation Levels differed, but they were all the elite soldiers from their respective elite units.

When the Military Governors of the various units learned that Li Xiaoyao had started his own sect, they immediately ordered that all those with cultivation should attend and become disciples.

With Li Xiaoyao being so powerful, how could the disciples he taught be any less?

“Dragon Group Unit… reporting for mentorship!”

“Damn it, Dragon Group Unit, the number one in the military district, they’ve come too!”

“Heh, what ‘number one in the military district,’ Long Chi has long since been number one.” Some people were very well-informed; they knew the final outcomes of the military district competition at the end of the year.
