Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 706 - 705 They’re Not Qualified

Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue were successively picked out, leaving only Xu Ping’an alone.

At this moment, there were no fewer than thirty elders seated in the courtyard, yet the looks they gave Xu Ping’an were somewhat strange as they shook their heads.

This baffled Qin Mu and the others.

With talent as heaven-defying as Xu Ping’an’s, why did these elders have no intention of taking disciples?

"Are you Xu Ping’an?" Finally, one elder spoke up.

"Yes, that’s me," Xu Ping’an responded indifferently.

"I’ve heard you killed many people in the Lower Realm?" the elder said.

"Huh?" Xu Ping’an was taken aback before he understood and replied with a smile, "Yes, I killed some who deserved death."

"Deserved death? I heard you’ve slain quite a few from Fire Divine Palace, Tianlong Hall, Earth Divine Sect, and Heaven Beyond Heavens," the elder huffed coldly.

Xu Ping’an looked at the elder.

This person must be what they called the Dean of Heavenly Palace, with quite considerable strength, already half a step into Immortal Emperor Level, just one step shy from the true Immortal Emperor Realm.

"They sought to kill me, naturally, I couldn’t just stand still and not fight back," Xu Ping’an replied calmly.

"Hmph, it seems the rumors are true; you indulge in killing and carry too heavy a killing aura. You can leave; our Immortal Hall Academy won’t accept you," said the elder with a cold snort.

"Huh? Elder, could there be some mistake? Xu Ping’an’s talent is very strong," Qin Mu hurriedly said.

"Yes, Elder, Xu Ping’an is indeed a rare talent," Tang Qingyu also quickly added.

"That’s right, my master is a super genius," Song Lingxue also hastily said.

Xu Ping’an, however, frowned slightly.

"Genius? Is our Immortal Hall short of geniuses? Just Ninth Rank Seventh Layer Realm. How much of a genius can he be?" the Dean of Heavenly Academy sneered.

The other elders nodded, displaying expressions of disdain.

"So, the Immortal Hall Academy doesn’t welcome me?" Xu Ping’an asked with a light chuckle.

"That’s right, no matter your talent, you’ve offended so many forces, our Immortal Hall Academy won’t keep you; leave on your own," said the leading Dean of Heavenly Palace.

The other elders also bore expressions of indifference.

"Since that’s the case, then I shall take my leave," Xu Ping’an said with a slight bow, ready to turn around and depart.

"What kind of trash Immortal Hall Academy, if you don’t accept my master, I’m leaving too," Song Lingxue immediately slammed her Token on the ground, cursing angrily.

"Insolent!" The elder who had accepted Song Lingxue as a disciple immediately bellowed.

"Hmph, if you don’t accept my master, I won’t acknowledge you as a master either," Song Lingxue retorted coldly.

The elder was about to flare up in anger.

"I’m not bowing down either," Tang Qingyu also tossed his Token down.

"Me neither," Qin Mu followed.

"How audacious!" the chief Dean of Heavenly Academy roared in anger.

The other elders also wore faces of astonishment.

Were these guys actually willing to give up entering their academy just for a Xu Ping’an?

Xu Ping’an stopped in his tracks, his eyes also carrying a hint of surprise.

He had not expected Tang Qingyu and the others to willingly give up joining the Immortal Hall Academy for his sake.

For a moment, many of the elders couldn’t help but feel a bit more serious.

"Alright, since you all plea on his behalf, our Immortal Hall Academy will accept him, but no one will take him as a disciple," declared the Dean of Heavenly Academy.

"No need, I have no desire to join," Xu Ping’an laughed.

"Master, if you go, I will follow," Song Lingxue hurriedly said.

"Yes, wherever you go, I’ll follow. After all, you saved my life," Tang Qingyu also stated with determination in her eyes.

"You all go back. I intend to make a breakthrough in the Jade Spirit Realm. If you follow me, you’ll only hold me back," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"But..."

Song Lingxue wanted to say more, but Xu Ping’an patted her head.

"Don’t worry, do you think I care about joining the Immortal Hall? I actually want to go out and see the world. To be honest, the elders of this Immortal Hall Academy do not have the qualifications to be my master," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Of course, these people are nowhere near worthy of being my master’s master," Song Lingxue said proudly.

The elders of the academy glanced at each other, all displaying disdain.

They clearly thought Xu Ping’an was just talking big.

"Go back as well, staying here to cultivate will do you good," Xu Ping’an stated.

Tang Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Xu Ping’an smiled and glanced at Qin Mu, saying, "Take care of them for me, if anyone bullies you, send me a message, and I will flatten the entire Immortal Hall Academy to get justice for you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu felt deeply moved and replied to Xu Ping’an earnestly, "Take care."

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly and walked towards the exit of Immortal Hall Academy.

As for those elders, Xu Ping’an didn’t even give them a glance.

What trash?

Looking down on him?

Although he didn’t plan to take a master from the start, their attitudes still annoyed him.

"It seems that the Jade Immortal Realm is worse than I imagined; just because I killed a few from some forces, these guys are actually filled with fear," Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly.

The reason they rushed him out was simply because they thought he would bring trouble to the Immortal Hall Academy.

Such an Immortal Hall Academy, it was better not to join.

Xu Ping’an soon left the Immortal Hall Academy.

However, he had not gone far before he saw two figures approaching him.

One of them, Xu Ping’an recognized, was Tang Jun.

The two directly blocked Xu Ping’an’s path, looking at him with eyes full of disdain.

"Master, this is Xu Ping’an," Tang Jun said to the middle-aged man beside him.

"So you’re Xu Ping’an. I heard you’ve been to the Heavenly Star Ancient Palace? Hand over the treasures you obtained there, and I can guarantee you will not be harmed," the leading middle-aged man said with a light laugh.

Xu Ping’an glanced at the middle-aged man.

Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm?

This is the master Tang Jun bowed to?

Wanting the treasures from his possession, it seems that it was Tang Jun’s instigation.

Indeed, Tang Jun looked at Xu Ping’an with a triumphant gleam in his eyes.
