Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

Chapter 65 Elder Dongmei's Concerns

?Elder Dongmei nodded. "It is indeed true in general, affinity to elements awakens only after reaching foundation establishment, but people with an affinity to time and space are different; they are one in a million they are celestial talents. So they can not be judged by normal common sense, and if it is true, this explains why he reached level 3 of Qi condensation through celestial ascension technique in a week."

The elder of discipline hall, who had been silent so far, spoke, "If those old bastards of Starfall sects hear that we have a disciple who has an affinity with Space elements, they will do everything in their power to steal him. They might even attack us."

Sect master creased his eyebrows. He did not speak anything, and was in deep contemplation. Having such a talented disciple is a blessing to the sect but could bring calamity to the sect too.

Elder Dongmei understood their concerns and spoke, "Tell me about the character of this brat. You said you liked his character."

Sect master nodded and spoke, "I went to the outer sect arena especially to see his talent this time. He joined the sect two years ago. For the first one and a half years, he did not even leave his quarters. The two things he did were to eat and cultivate. He did not make any friends or enemies. When he was finally lacking spiritual stones, he decided to go and take a sect mission. But one of the elders in the outer sect noticed his talent and helped him with his need for spirit stones. I am guessing in return for helping him, that elder must have asked him to take part in the outer sect tournament to improve his faction's reputation. So Han Cai participated and won the championship. In the tournament, He also helped the disciple of that faction. Today when I asked him if he needed anything for himself, he did not request anything for himself but asked me to help his family. He was worried about his family".

Elder Dongmei spoke, "Why is he worried about his family?"

Sect master spoke, "His father used his all life savings to bribe elders to get him into the outer sect. He is worried about his family's condition. When he learned about how our relationship with other sects was, he was worried if they might harm his family knowing he is a core disciple."

Out of nowhere, elder Dongmei stood up again and said, spoke angrily, " THEY DARE! THEY DARE TO TAKE BRIBES FROM DISCIPLE OF MY HALL. THIS OLD MAN HASN'T SHOWN HIS FANGS IN A VERY LONG TIME. IT SEEMS THE WHOLE SECT NEEDS A REMINDER OF THIS OLD MAN'S WRATH"

Every elder and even sect master looked at elder Dongmei in surprise. What is this old man talking about? Han Cai was a disciple of the sect master. When did the sect master send Han Cai to become a disciple of elder Dongmei's hall? Didn't elder Dongmei have a rule never to accept the core disciples in his hall?

Elder Dongmei realized he had spoken his thoughts out loud. He coughed, sat back, and nodded his face in approval "A filial child. Good temperament"

All elders rolled their eyes. You are the most senior here and don't even have control over your words? but they agreed with elder Dongmei's comment about Han Cai being a filial child.

After that, the hall became silent again.

Fairy Su of Pill Hall broke the silence. "If we guide him right, he might change the power structure of Yin country in the future."

Elder Dongmei looked at fairy Su and snickered, " Littel Su, your pill hall already has a core disciple. We don't need to guide him. This old man is alone enough. Keep your guidance away from my disciple."

Sect Master Coughed looked at elder Dongmei and spoke, " Uncle master Han Cai is my disciple. But as a senior, every elder who could help him in the cultivation should assist him. It will be a blessing for my disciple."

Elder Dongmei shook his head. "How many cultivators with affinity to space do you know? They are too rare. When he grows, he might change the power structure of the whole continent. I can not risk it. I have waited more than a hundred years for a disciple worth nurturing; instead of sending him to me, you kept him as your disciple?"

Fairy Su spoke, " Elder Dongmei, you can not blame the sect master like that. He had sent many talented disciples to the dark hall in the past. You accepted them all. Sect master had only one disciple so far. It was only right for him to accept a disciple of Han Cai's caliber as his personal disciple."

Elder Dongmei was furious; He spoke loudly, " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HOW ARE GOATS COMPARED TO DRAGONS? DO NOT FORGET MY DARK HALL IS THE BACKBONE OF THE SECT. IF ZHU XIN WANTS, I WILL SEND BACK ALL DISCIPLES HE HAS SENT TO ME. HOW CAN YOU COMPARE GOOD FOR NOTHINGS TO A CELESTIAL TALENT"

When elder Dongemei yelled, all the elders shivered.

Sect Master coughed again and spoke, " Uncle Master fairy Su did not mean to anger you. Uncle master Han Cai is still your grand disciple. I am sure he will be very grateful to receive your guidance."

Elder Dongmei sighed and sat back down. He looked at the Elder of the inner discipline hall and asked, "What else do we know about his family?"

Elder of the discipline hall spoke, "When the sect master took him in as a disciple, we checked his family. Their background is clean; they are a merchant family in eagle town. They have been in that town for the last hundred years. His father is a well-known merchant in that town. While making a trade to Cloud mountain city, he was able to build a relationship with the mayor and using the mayor's connection. He sent his son here. Han Cai is the first cultivator in their family."

Elder Dongmei nodded. "He is young, and his family is his weakness. Others might try to use it against him."

The sect master and all elders agreed with elder Dongmei. No one spoke up as they did not want this old bastard to loose his cool and make their life difficult.

Elder Dongmei continued, "If I do this right, it might be one biggest blessings to our sect since the immortal master Lu founded our sect. But if you mess this up, it can bring calamity to our sect."

All core elders rolled their eyes. So If it goes right, that is because of you, but if something goes wrong, it's our fault? Can you be more shameless?

He looked at the sect master and asked, "Zhu Xin, so how do you plan to handle this?"
