As Ye Luo walked over, many people immediately looked at him with astonishment.

The Zi Wei Sect had never had a male disciple before, and not even an Elder!

Only some ordinary men who weren’t knowledgeable in cultivation came to the Sect to do some chores, and they were heavily restricted; they couldn’t move as freely as he did.

Not only the disciples below, but even the Elders in front were all staring at him intently.

After all, he had mainly stayed in his Cave Mansion these few days; some Elders didn’t even know someone like him existed.

"Let me introduce you all; this is our new Guest Elder of the Zi Wei Sect, Elder Ye. Moreover, disciples can also choose him as their master from now on!" The Grand Elder said with a smile.

Don’t be fooled; although this was just to deal with the territorial dispute, basically, once a disciple chooses an Elder, they become that Elder’s disciple.

So, both the Elders and the disciples were extremely cautious about this selection.

Although the disciples below looked at Ye Luo with great interest, some even had strange glints in their eyes.

But if they were to choose Ye Luo, more than ninety percent wouldn’t be willing.

After all, Ye Luo was too young, and as a Guest Elder, being unable to learn anything from him wasn’t the biggest concern. The fear was, if he got kicked out of the Sect, any disciple who chose him would lose a significant amount of resources, making it a loss.

Thus, upon hearing the Grand Elder’s words, a wave of boos erupted among the students below.

Not only that, but many Elders also looked at Ye Luo with cold smiles.

Their expressions clearly questioned what qualifications a young Guest Elder like him had to take disciples!

Moreover, taking disciples brought huge benefits to an Elder.

Just regarding cultivation resources, the Sect directly assigned all resources to the Elder, who would then distribute them to the disciples. The remaining cultivation resources naturally belonged to the Elder, and this was a matter the Sect tacitly approved.

In this way, Ye Luo would inevitably snatch the cultivation resources from those Elders.

Although they were all women, the competition for resources was fierce.

"Alright, without further ado, we can start the mutual selection. All Elders stand in your positions and let the disciples choose!" The Grand Elder announced.

But the next moment, a problem arose.

Although these Elders hadn’t competed on the surface, there was an unspoken ranking.

For instance, the current formation was based on strength, which was an essential aspect of disciple selection.

The few Elders at the front exuded intimidating auras, and the further back one went, the weaker the aura became.

So, where exactly should Ye Luo stand?

Of course, to him, it wasn’t a big deal; he didn’t even plan on taking many disciples. The fewer, the better!

That way, he could continue cultivating with Nuonuo.

As for the looks from other Elders, Ye Luo didn’t mind, except for the Grand Elder; he didn’t care about any of the others.

Ye Luo thought for a moment and then took a position in the middle.

"Elder Ye, this is my position!"

Quickly, an Elder stepped forward and said with displeasure.

Ye Luo had to move again, but all the positions were taken since they were based on ranking.

So, he could either go to the very back or the very front.

Everyone assumed he’d go to the back, as he was a new Guest Elder, so his rank would presumably be the lowest.

Under normal circumstances, that’s what most people would do, but Ye Luo was different; he was inherently unrestrained.

Moreover, going to the end was out of the question.

Therefore, he slowly made his way to the front row.

There, an old crone was glaring at him furiously. Under her gaze, Ye Luo felt chilled all over; an ordinary person might crumble under her pressure.

This crone was also a cultivator who concurrently practiced body refinement.

Originally, Ye Luo thought only the Sect Master cultivated like this, but it seemed a few Elders also took this path.

However, compared to the Sect Master, they were far inferior.

These people had low cultivation realms, mostly relying on body refinement for strength.

After all, the Zi Wei Sect predominantly focused on body refinement.

"No one’s standing here, so I’ll stay here!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

Then, amidst the crowd’s stunned gazes, he stood in front of the old crone.

Seeing this scene, many people gasped in shock.

The other Elders looked at Ye Luo as if he were a dead man walking.

This Elder, although slightly less powerful than the Grand Elder, was still dominant over the other Elders.

Since the Grand Elder didn’t take disciples, she was considered the top amongst the Elders, standing right at the front.

While her standards for disciples might be high and her personality peculiar, she was still the top choice for prodigies.

Many disciples were already gravitating towards her since they wanted to learn good skills.

"Boy, considering you’re a Guest Elder, I’ll give you a chance—move immediately!"

She roared at Ye Luo.

In fact, if she had spoken nicely, Ye Luo might have just left.

But her outright verbal assault was unacceptable to Ye Luo.

This was just using her seniority as an advantage!

"It’s just a spot; what difference does it make where I stand? Who said no one could stand here?" Ye Luo replied indifferently.

Instantly, the Elder laughed out of anger.

"Fine, there’s no rule against you standing here, but by doing so, it implies you’re stronger than me. I would like to see your prowess!" The old crone said ominously, giving a creepy vibe.

Ye Luo wasn’t surprised; she clearly wanted to teach him a lesson. Originally, Ye Luo wanted to keep a low profile, but that didn’t mean he’d back down.

"Alright, I’d like to see the Elder’s expertise!" Ye Luo agreed immediately.

Those around widened their eyes, wondering whether this Guest Elder had a death wish for provoking this deadly Elder!

The disciples of the Zi Wei Sect gave her the nickname ’Deadly Elder,’ perfectly capturing her domineering and ruthless nature.

So it was clear; she was undoubtedly tyrannical and cruel in her actions.

"Grand Elder, you can see this isn’t me bullying him; he asked for it!" The Deadly Elder turned to the Grand Elder.
