After the Beast Spirit practitioner expressed his feelings, he recalled what Zhong Wu Shi Yao had said before—that Tan Yun was Mu Mengyi's fiancé. He also thought about the previous incident where the holy spirit path practitioner had attempted to kill Tan Yun, and at this moment, he felt a great sense of assurance. There was no way Mu Mengyi would become the disciple of the holy spirit path practitioner.
Therefore, it was highly likely that Mu Mengyi would choose to follow her own path, confronting the four leading figures in alchemy, formations, tools, and talismans.
Just as Mu Mengyi was about to speak, the murong daoist chuckled, “The beast spirit chief speaks so well. What do you mean by not having a closed-door disciple being your regret? If you want to take a closed-door disciple, there are plenty of Inner Sect beast spirit lineage disciples available. You can just take one; why do you need to play the sympathy card in front of Mengyi?”
The beast spirit practitioner suddenly turned around, staring fiercely at the murong daoist, speaking in a low voice, “Murong chief, are you trying to stir up trouble?”
“Dare I not? In terms of age, I am actually your junior. How could I dare to speak against you?” Although the murong daoist spoke like this, his demeanor was quite different. “I’m just speaking the truth.”
The murong daoist walked straight up to Mu Mengyi and smiled sweetly, “Mengyi, you and Shiyao are good sisters. Since Shiyao is my disciple, why don’t you join as well? You two can look out for each other in the future.”
“Oh, and Tan Yun is your fiancé. After you join, I’ll also take him as my disciple, making an exception to accept three closed-door disciples. How does that sound?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Mengyi hesitated; refining tools was not her aspiration.
However, if what the murong daoist said was true, she could always be with Tan Yun and Shiyao in the future. Wasn’t that what she had been hoping for?
At that moment, the bing qing daoist noticed Mu Mengyi's indecision and stepped forward, softly saying, "Mengyi, don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Do you dislike refining tools?"
Mu Mengyi bit her lip and nodded gently.
This scene made the murong daoist's heart sink.
In contrast, a smile involuntarily appeared on the bing qing daoist’s face, “Then why not come to my Danmai?”
“What's so good about that!” The beast spirit practitioner shouted, his eyes turning red with urgency. “Little girl, you have a beast fetal soul, so you naturally should become my disciple. I will definitely treat you as my precious gem and not let anyone bully you. From now on, I will only nurture you to become the brightest star in the Inner Sect.”
“Beast spirit chief, this is a conversation between me and Mengyi. Mind your own business!” The usually calm bing qing daoist seemed anxious as well.
“You…” Just as the beast spirit practitioner was about to retort, Mu Mengyi suddenly knelt down with a thud, “Disciple thanks all the chiefs for their favor. I am greatly honored, please give me some time to consider, if that’s alright?”
Mu Mengyi furrowed her brows; she understood that no matter who she chose at this moment, it would offend the other chiefs.
At the same time, she knew that Tan Yun had already offended some chiefs because of Shiyao, and she could not ask Tan Yun further. Otherwise, his situation in the Inner Sect would surely become difficult, like walking on thin ice.
At this moment, Tan Yun noticed that Mu Mengyi was not asking him, having already guessed her concerns.
“Rather than letting my beloved offend others, why shouldn’t I offend a few myself?” Tan Yun thought to himself, looking at the worried Mu Mengyi, he spoke four words, “Mengyi, beast vein.”
“Hahaha, kid, good eye!” The beast spirit practitioner was in a great mood and praised Tan Yun without hesitation.
In contrast, the expressions of the holy spirit path practitioner, talisman practitioner, qiankun daoist, and bing qing daoist were extremely awkward!
