Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Well, they were quite interested in the ancient Alliance at first, but after seeing you, a genius of the ancient Alliance, they all thought that the ancient Alliance was nothing special. They were afraid that they would end up like you and refuse to participate in the disciple selection meeting. So, it's not my fault." Lin Yi said seriously.

"I see. It's you who has ruined the image of the ancient Alliance. Now you still have the face to mention this. I'll tell the Alliance about your achievements!" Xin Yijie immediately retorted.

Xue Jianfeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood as he pointed at Lin Yi,"What about those unconscious female cultivators? you can't say that they didn't want to come, right? They can only wait for death if they stay in the secular world, and they can only have a chance to recover if they go to the archaic Alliance. You forced them to stay in the secular world because of your own selfish desires, and your intentions are despicable. You can't be thinking of blaming me for this, right?"

"You're so smart. This is all your fault. I'm their Guardian, but I don't trust your character. If I send them to the ancient Alliance, who knows if you'll secretly do something beastly?" Lin Yi said, looking at him as if he were a scumbag.

F * ck! Xue Jianfeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood as everyone looked at him with strange eyes. His vision went black and he almost fainted on the spot. He just wanted to use this opportunity to cause trouble for Lin Yi, how did he become a disgusting beast?

Looking at Lin Yi's half-smiling face, Xue Jianfeng wanted to fight this bastard to the death. Unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to do so. There was only one way to deal with Lin Yi, and that was to get all the snow sword sect disciples to attack him together. However, Lin Yi was the founder of the North Island's Qingyun sect. Xin Yijie wouldn't just stand by and watch. What could he do?

"Is the farce over? If you're done, then move aside and don't get in the way of this old man presiding over the disciple selection meeting!" Xin Yijie glared at Xue Jianfeng.

Xue Jianfeng snorted coldly. He knew that he would not be able to gain an advantage if he continued like this, so he could only retreat to the side and think of another plan.

"Then I'll go back first?" Lingshan blinked at Lin Yi. She was here as the Deputy Director of the special Investigation Bureau to maintain order, and just like the others, she didn't want to join the ancient Alliance at all. If she really wanted to, she could've just gone to Sky Class Island with Lin Yi, why would she go to the ancient Alliance?

Lin Yi was just about to nod when Xin Yijie interjected."Great uncle-master, Deputy bureau chief song actually doesn't have to leave in a hurry. It's not too late to make a decision after listening to the second round of selection rules."

"Oh? Then let's wait for a while. " Lin Yi looked at Xin Yijie in surprise. He didn't care about the ancient Alliance's selection process-it was fine as long as both sides lived in peace. He didn't pay much attention to the process, but from what Xin Yijie was saying, could it be that the second round wasn't as simple as the first?

Xin Yijie nodded and turned to the crowd.""Ladies and gentlemen, the fact that all of you have passed the first round of selection is an affirmation of your potential. Although this doesn't mean that all of you have joined the ancient Alliance, as a reward for passing the first round, I believe that you will benefit greatly from the second round of selection, whether you succeed or not."

Everyone's eyes lit up. They were still a little confused about the first round of selection and didn't know what the others were looking at. However, the reward that Xin Yijie mentioned made their hearts race. The ancient Alliance would definitely not be giving them something simple. Could it be that everyone would be given a treasure of the ancient Alliance?

However, Xin Yijie's next words quickly shattered their fantasies, but they only made their hearts race even more. "Don't misunderstand me, everyone. I won't give you any treasures or resources, but I'll give you a chance that you've been dreaming of. A chance to break through to the foundation establishment stage."

Foundation establishment! There was a sudden uproar and everyone's breathing became heavy. Even if they didn't have any concept of the foundation establishment stage before, after the appearance of the ancient Alliance, even the most ill-informed people knew what these three words meant. This was the legendary heavenly Dao!

It wasn't just the common world practitioners-even Lin Yi was moved. He'd really underestimated the ancient Alliance's wealth.

"Don't be surprised, everyone. The ancient Jianghu is the dream place of all cultivators. If you want to become an official disciple of any ancient sect, you must at least have the strength of the foundation establishment stage. Now that you have passed the first round of selection, you will be the prospective disciples of your respective sects. You will receive the primary cultivation method of your respective sects and will soon go to a place with abundant spiritual Qi to break through to the foundation establishment stage. If you can successfully advance before the ancient passage closes, then you can become an official disciple!" Xin Yijie introduced.

"Elementary cultivation method? We already have our own cultivation methods, even if you give us more, it won't be of any use, right?" The cultivators of the secular world couldn't help but be puzzled. Everyone knew that cultivation methods couldn't be changed at will, especially if one cultivated two cultivation methods at the same time. The consequences were even more unimaginable. The lightest consequence was injury and backlash, and the heaviest was Qi deviation, or even death on the spot.

"Under normal circumstances, you can't change your cultivation method. However, after you reach the foundation establishment stage, or more accurately, during the process of breaking through to the foundation establishment stage, you will have the opportunity to change your cultivation method without any side effects." Xin Yijie explained.

Only then did everyone understand. Then, someone raised his hand and asked,""What if we fail to break through to the foundation establishment stage?"

"Of course you've been eliminated, but even so, you won't suffer any losses. At least you've obtained a basic cultivation method from your sect. Although it's impossible to break through to the Foundation Stage with just these basic cultivation methods, it's still much more profound than your original cultivation methods. This in itself is not a small gain." Xin Yijie said with a smile.

Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Each and every one of them felt as if they had been hit by a meat pie that had fallen from the sky. They had obtained a cultivation method that could allow them to build their Foundation for no reason. This was an unexpected joy.

"When will the ancient passageway close?" Someone raised his hand and asked.

"There are still ten and a half months before the archaic passage closes, so the time left for everyone is very limited. I hope you can grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss this opportunity, it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for you to reach the foundation establishment stage." Xin Yijie replied. (To be continued.)
