Chapter 28: Master-Disciple Affiliation (Part 2)

Once Princess Jin Xuan's Master-Disciple affiliation was determined, all the Elders turned their gaze towards the third-place finisher of the newcomer assessment, Princess Hu Qinlan.

The Elder of Shuiyin Palace, Zither Heart Bibo, spoke first.

"Princess Hu Qinlan, you share a predestined affinity with the water melodies. As a princess of the Huling Kingdom, your temperament is as gentle as water. My Shuiyin Palace will certainly be able to help you reach a higher level. Are you willing to join my Shuiyin Palace?"

Just as Princess Hu Qinlan was about to answer, she was suddenly interrupted by the Elder of Yueyin Palace, Fairy Youyue.

"Do not be in such a hurry, Princess Hu Qinlan. Your gentleness and elegance are as soft as moonlight. If you join my Yueyin Palace, I will surely be able to transform your Aptitude into a radiance as clear as the moon."

Immediately following, the Elder of Yunyin Palace, Fairy Huanyun, also joined the battlefield of competition and said softly:

"Princess Hu Qinlan, your liveliness and soft beauty are like a Fairy among the clouds. If you can join Yunyin Palace, I will certainly help you stand out in the Dao of music."

The competing invitations from the several Elders caused the Disciples to immediately break into heated discussion:

"Princess Hu Qinlan truly has exceptional Aptitude to have attracted the favor of so many Elders!"

"This is simply a massive honor, having so many Elders fighting to take her as a Disciple!"

Facing the invitations from the several Elders, Princess Hu Qinlan appeared very composed.

She lifted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the Elders. After weighing her options for a moment, she finally smiled faintly and bowed to the Shuiyin Palace Elder, Zither Heart Bibo:

"This Disciple wishes to join Shuiyin Palace, to Cultivate the melodies of water under Master, and to pursue the true meaning of the zither Dao."

Zither Heart Bibo's face revealed a gratified smile, and she nodded gently:

"Good, your choice will certainly not leave you with regrets. The profundity and gentleness of the water melodies will merge with you." She gently helped Princess Hu Qinlan up.

Fairy Youyue and Fairy Huanyun, although a bit regretful, also revealed calm smiles.

"Shuiyin Palace is indeed a good match for your temperament; your future prospects are boundless."

With Princess Hu Qinlan officially joining Shuiyin Palace, next was the fourth-place newcomer, Yin Miaoxue.

She stood lightly in the arena, her white gauze robes fluttering in the breeze, resembling a Fairy amidst ice and snow, cold and refined.

The gazes of the Elders were tightly locked onto her, as if carefully weighing her Aptitude and temperament, evaluating whether she was compatible with their own path of cultivation.

Fairy Fanyin of Tianyin Palace, her white gauze robes fluttering gently, was the first to arrive at her side:

"Yin Miaoxue, you have exceptional Aptitude and an ethereal temperament, which perfectly matches Tianyin Palace's pursuit of pure melodies. If you join my sect, I will impart the highest Mind-Cultivation Technique of Tianyin to you, helping you purify your soul, clarify your state of mind, and reach the Peak of cultivation."

Immediately following, Fairy Huanyun of Yunyin Palace also came to Yin Miaoxue's side.

"Miaoxue, your aura of frost is precisely the beauty of change that Yunyin Palace pursues. If you join my sect, I will teach you the mysteries of cloud-mist melodies, helping you flexibly control melodies during cultivation, balancing offense and defense, and allowing you to be as unpredictable as clouds."

Finally, it was Fairy Youyue of Yueyin Palace. She smiled lightly, her cold temperament identical to Yin Miaoxue's:

"Miaoxue, your temperament is as icy as the moon, which is the most compatible with my Yueyin Palace. If you join my sect, I will impart the secret techniques of moonlight melodies, helping you Master the balance between mist and moonlight in your melodies, allowing you to handle battles with ease."

The words of the three Elders not only displayed their respective foundations but also caused the Disciples on the field to sigh in amazement.

"Heavens, to think that three Elders are also fighting to take Yin Miaoxue as their Disciple!"

Facing the competition between the three Elders, Yin Miaoxue pondered slightly. She looked up at Fairy Fanyin, Fairy Huanyun, and Fairy Youyue, and finally said softly:

"I am willing to join Yueyin Palace and follow Fairy Youyue in my cultivation."

Fairy Youyue smiled slightly and calmly accepted Yin Miaoxue's bow.

Subsequently, everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Meng Li.

Her face was like a painting, her features soft and beautiful. She had also achieved good results in this selection.

The Elders exchanged glances, clearly having taken an interest in Meng Li.

Fairy Youyue spoke first.

"Meng Li's elegant and cold temperament is just like an orchid under the moon, fitting perfectly with the cultivation path of my Yueyin Palace. Meng Li, follow me to Cultivate moonlight melodies; you will be as tranquil and beautiful as moonlight, stepping into a higher Realm."

Zither Demon Jifeng interrupted:

"Meng Li's figure is light and agile, like a willow leaf fluttering in the wind; it is perfect for Cultivating wind melodies. Meng Li, follow me to Cultivate; your lightness and sense of power will complement the melodies, leading to extraordinary achievements."

Fairy Huanyun displayed her usual composure and mystery.

"Meng Li, you are like a gentle breeze brushing against one's face; your temperament is the most compatible with the melodies of my Yunyin Palace. Cloud melodies are like mist, and your soft yet powerful figure is the perfect Legacy for our palace. Meng Li, come with me."

Feeling the contention among the three Elders, Meng Li felt waves in her heart, yet she remained composed.

The invitations from the several Elders made it difficult for her to choose for a moment. Finally, she looked at Fairy Youyue with a firm gaze:

"This Disciple wishes to follow Yueyin Palace for cultivation."

Fairy Youyue beamed with joy.

"Good! Your choice will not be wrong; I will lead you onto your own path of cultivation."

Fairy Youyue could hardly hide her joy. She had already taken in Yin Miaoxue, and now adding Meng Li was undoubtedly icing on the cake, making her feel even more proud.

After some scrutiny, the Elders found that the remaining Disciples had mediocre Aptitude and no longer intended to take on any more Disciples.

The atmosphere gradually quieted down, as if this Master-Disciple ceremony was about to come to an end.

However, just at this moment, the gaze of the Tianyin Palace Elder, Fairy Fanyin, was suddenly drawn to someone in the field.

She was just one among the ordinary young women, impossible to notice without looking closely—it was Cuier, who had grown up with Lin Fan.

A flash of amazement crossed Fairy Fanyin's eyes, and her heart trembled slightly: "To think there is such a pure person in this world!"

Subsequently, she moved her lotus-like steps lightly, her white gauze robes fluttering in the wind, resembling a Fairy descending to the world, slowly walking towards Cuier.

Fairy Fanyin stood still, her voice as soft as a breeze brushing across the soul, carrying the power to purify all things:

"Cuier, are you willing to join my Tianyin Palace and become my only Personal Disciple?"

This inquiry fell like an oracle, causing everyone in the field to involuntarily tremble in their hearts.

Tianyin Palace had always been famous for its mysterious and purifying melodies; its melodies could not only heal the body and mind but also help people Breakthrough the shackles of cultivation.

Moreover, Fairy Fanyin never easily took on Disciples. At this moment, she had actually broken precedent and chosen Cuier as her only Personal Disciple.

The field instantly erupted into heated discussion:

"Tianyin Palace! That is the only mysterious melody that can purify the soul!"

"Fairy Fanyin never takes on Disciples, yet today she is so moved by Cuier!"

Waves rose in Cuier's heart; she had not expected that she would be able to receive the favor of Fairy Fanyin. She was slightly stunned, then immediately knelt respectfully and bowed, her voice as crisp as silver bells:

"This Disciple greets Master."

As Cuier joined Tianyin Palace, Fairy Fanyin nodded gently, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
