“Haha!” Meng Tianzheng nodded in satisfaction at Ye Qiu’s answer and said, “To be able to have such comprehension means that you already know your future path. “Since you know your path clearly, feel free to boldly barge in. I’ve been sitting in this building for a million years. In the blink of an eye, my good friends from back then have long turned to dust. My only wish in this life is to see what kind of new world you young people can create in this future golden age.”
Meng Tianzheng said earnestly. Before Ye Qiu came, his greatest wish was to let the Heaven Mending Goddess appear in the world. But now, he had another wish. He wanted to see how exciting the future would be. He wanted to see what kind of new world Ye Qiu would create and what kind of miracle he would create.
As soon as he said this, Ye Qiu immediately calmed down. Originally, Ye Qiu still had some concerns, but with Meng Tianzheng’s full support, it was enough. Since he had said so, wouldn’t he be letting down his cheat if he didn’t make a new world?
“Hehe… First Elder, since you’ve said so, I won’t stand on ceremony.” Ye Qiu smiled evilly, his smile gradually becoming impudent.
Meng Tianzheng looked at his strange smile and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had an ominous feeling. However, he didn’t care. He waved his hand and said, “By the way, I’ve seen your three disciples. Their talent is not bad. If possible, pick them up as soon as possible. Haha, kid, you’re really surprising. It’s fine if your talent is so abnormal, but those three disciples are each more terrifying than the other.”
This was Meng Tianzheng’s admiration from the bottom of his heart. He had taught for so many years and thought that there was nothing wrong with his teachings. There was nothing wrong with taking in disciples. All of them were one in a million geniuses.
However, among his disciples, none of them could be compared to Ye Qiu’s three disciples. He was also very depressed. How did Ye Qiu teach his disciples? He was still fumbling around cultivating, but he could actually teach such an outstanding disciple. He was also curious. Could it be that Ye Qiu had such talent?
Meng Tianzheng guessed in his heart and became even more determined. Perhaps Ye Qiu was really good at teaching disciples.
An idea appeared in his heart. Perhaps he could let Ye Qiu give it a try and teach those so-called geniuses of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. At the same time, he could suppress their arrogance.
These genius disciples were all incomparably arrogant and condescending. It was time to suppress them. Otherwise, they might cause some huge trouble in the future.
Ye Qiu was instantly amused when Meng Tianzheng suddenly mentioned his three disciples. He felt proud and extremely happy. One had to know that his three precious disciples were the apple of his eye. If his disciples won honor, it would be equivalent to raising his reputation as a master.
It seemed like Meng Tianzheng’s suggestion was not bad. It was time to pick them up.
“Yes, the First Elder is right. I’m also considering this problem, but the situation hasn’t stabilized yet, so this idea has been put aside.”
Meng Tianzheng stroked his beard and smiled. “I know what you’re worried about. How about this… later, I’ll get Qi Huan to open a training hall for you on the divine mountain. You can’t waste your good talent. My Heaven Mending Pavilion has many disciples with good aptitude. Take in a few more and see what you can nurture.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu’s heart tightened. He knew that he had fallen for this old fox’s trap. This old fellow actually wanted to treat him as a free laborer and teach him to the disciples of the sect to strengthen the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
Although it didn’t do Ye Qiu any harm, he wouldn’t take in just anyone.
“Haha!” Ye Qiu laughed and prepared to brush it off. He said, “First Elder, you must be joking. How can I teach any disciple? I just have nothing to do and casually guide them. The reason why my three disciples have such achievements is all because of their hard work. Their success has nothing to do with me.”
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ye Qiu was rejecting. How could Meng Tianzheng not tell? This little fox was sly. He wanted to trick him with just a few words? Dream on.
“Haha, good kid! You wanted to trick me. Tell me, what benefits do you want?” Meng Tianzheng laughed. He knew Ye Qiu’s plan very well. He gritted his teeth and prepared to put in some effort.
As long as Ye Qiu’s request wasn’t too much, he could accept it. After all, he was the one who established this Heaven Mending Pavilion. He could accept any price to bring this Heaven Mending Pavilion to greater heights and completely spread it for a hundred generations.
As soon as Meng Tianzheng finished speaking, a trace of joy flashed across Ye Qiu’s eyes as he calculated in his heart. Then, he said, “It’s not impossible for me to take in a disciple. However, I have a few conditions, or requirements. If the First Elder can satisfy them, I’ll accept them.”
“Say it.” Meng Tianzheng directly spoke, wanting to hear Ye Qiu’s conditions.
He continued, “I need a training hall for this first one.”
“That’s not a problem. I’ll get Qi Huan to do it later. Continue.” Meng Tianzheng agreed.
Ye Qiu immediately said, “For the second one, I don’t look at talent when I take in disciples. I only follow my heart. No one is allowed to interfere or criticize.”
Meng Tianzheng nodded again. Ye Qiu was a genius himself. Geniuses had a habit of acting alone. It was normal for him to have such a habit. It was not a problem. After all, taking in a disciple was a matter of mutual consent. No one could force them.
“Thirdly, First Elder, you can’t expect me to pay for this free labor, right? No matter what, there should be some rewards, right?”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Meng Tianzheng asked despite knowing the answer, pretending not to understand.
The corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth twitched and he said, “In any case, that’s what it means. Just give as you see fit. If you don’t want to, then forget it. It’s boring anyway.”
Hearing this, Meng Tianzheng laughed and said, “Alright, I understand what you mean. Since you’ve already said so much, it would be a little unkind if I still don’t give it. It’s settled as you say. I’ll get Qi Huan to tidy it up later and give it to you.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was delighted. This matter was finally settled. However, he still had a fourth condition. Then, he said, “This fourth condition can be said to be my rule. Earlier, I had already decided not to take in disciples. Therefore, if I take in a disciple this time, it will not be recorded under my name. It will only be given to me as an in-name disciple.
“After they finish their studies, you can make your own arrangements. In any case, I won’t let them freeload. I can’t afford it.”
