Chapter 49: Abandoned Son

  Zhang Shan stole a glance at Wei Yuechi with the corner of his eye, and saw that this true heir of Bai Gongfeng furrowed his brow, making Zhang's heart skip a beat.

  Weiyue Chi is also a bit entangled in his heart, regarding the struggle between Benfeng and Chiyang Peak in Qingyang City, he is very clear about it, because this matter was handled by him.

  Zhang Shan successfully helped the Situ family complete the layout of Bai Geng Peak, and also blocked the disturbance of Chi Yang Peak. After that, the Situ family asked to take Zhang Shan into the door of Bai Geng Peak, and he agreed.

  He had just taken a look at Zhang Shan's test scores on purpose, but the result was disappointing.

  Apart from his age and boundary being passable, Wu Xie's martial soul was seemingly useless, with the Heavenly Road determining it to be of yellow grade. Moreover, he was one of the last few disciples to clear the trial, ranking at the very bottom.

  The Heavenly Ascent Path of the Tianzong Sect is a formation set up by the sect's ancestors 3,000 years ago using heavenly materials and earthly treasures combined with the Supreme Forbidden Technique to test and evaluate the qualifications and potential of new disciples. Since its establishment, the evaluations made have been basically error-free.

  So, Wei Yuechi was disappointed and thought that Bie Feng wouldn't look down on Zhang Shan who had fallen behind. Originally, he planned to wait until Chi Yangfeng finished selecting his disciples first, then let the other four peaks choose freely before finally choosing him last.

  However, I didn't expect Chi Yangfeng would make this move and choose him in advance.

  "Hmph, so you're trying to get rid of a thorn in your eye by deliberately taking him in as a disciple just to get the upper hand... how ruthless." Wei Yuechi glanced at Qiu Feixing with a cold smile in his heart.

  At this time, Zhang Shan's information also appeared on the shadow wall. Seeing such a poor record, more than 1,000 disciples waiting to be selected had different expressions, most of whom looked at him with disdain and puzzlement.

  Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of trash be unwanted by everyone until the very end? How did it get picked up by Chi Yangfeng, who has priority rights, so early on?

  Some disciples even thought with a mixture of disdain and surprise, "He must be a secular relative of some big shot from the Red Sun Peak or something, people with connections really are treated differently."

  But mistakenly thought to be the second ancestor, Zhang Shan is now a mute eating Huang Lian, with grievances that cannot be spoken out. "Bie Ling, why is my Wu Soul's grade only yellow? With such a poor grade, I don't think Bai Gengfeng will necessarily pay double the price to rob me."

  The levels of the Martial Soul, from highest to lowest, are: Divine, Heavenly, Earthly, Profound, and Yellow. Zhang Shan had always thought that his own Martial Soul was at least Heavenly level, if not Divine; how could it possibly be Yellow, the lowest level?

  "This Heavenly Road Forbidden Array, how can it accurately calculate my rank? Now that my abilities are sealed, on the surface I'm just a Yellow Rank, so it's simply an incorrect assessment." The Stele Spirit said disdainfully.

  "Alright, although it's said that one should be low-key, I also like to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. But this time, things might really go wrong." Zhang Shan muttered to himself with a gloomy face.

  At this time, Wei Yuechi finally spoke up and said: "This disciple, I, Bai Gengfeng, will take him."

  Although he was reluctant to compete with Chi Yangfeng for Zhang Shan, Wei Yuechi hesitated for a short while before making his decision.

  How can Zhang Shan say that everything has been done for Bai Gongfeng, but if the price is slightly higher, he will let him go to the tiger's mouth. If this gets out later, it will still have some impact on Bai Gongfeng's reputation.

  Qiu Feixing chuckled and said, "With this kind of strength at the bottom, you also want to compete with me? Don't tell me that Bai Gongfeng's quota is so abundant that it can't be used up?"

  Wei Yuechi retorted with a smirk, "If that's the case, why did Chiyan Peak pick him first? Could it be that you, surnamed Qiu, have suddenly become benevolent?"

  Qiu Feixing revealed a playful smile: "Are you Bai Gengfeng really willing to use two quotas to exchange him? I'm afraid it's not worth it."

  "Don't bother yourself, two external quota names are nothing." Wei Yuechi hummed.

  The other three peak's true disciples naturally understood the inside story of Qingyang City, so what idea Qiu Feixing came up with and why Wei Yuechi stepped forward to snatch people were all clear in everyone's minds.

  The following disciples who did not know the truth saw that the two peaks were fighting over a fallen cart, and they all secretly wondered if something was wrong. Some of them with sharp minds had already felt that something was unusual and secretly suspected that there might be some hidden reason behind this matter.

  Bai Gengfeng finally made his move, not letting Zhang Shan down, and Zhang Shan secretly let out a sigh of relief. "So, from now on, as long as I choose to join Bai Gengfeng, that means I've escaped the tiger's mouth."

  However, Qiu Feixing's next words made his heart, which had just been put at ease, jump back up to his throat.

  "This disciple, although his test scores are not very impressive, but I personally think that he has great potential. Therefore, I, Zhuoyang Peak, am willing to give him a spot as an inner disciple. What do you think, Baigeng Peak?"

  Qiu Feixing's eyes inadvertently met Ma Chengxing's, and then he smiled warmly at Zhang Shan.

  Feeling the playful glint in his eyes, Zhang Shan cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations, seething with rage, knowing that Chi Yang Peak was definitely going to make a move against him.

  From the situation of Zhū Fēng and Chì Yáng Fēng snatching disciples just now, Zhang Shan understood that if he were to give him an outer door disciple quota, Bái Gěng Fēng would have to use two outer door quotas in exchange.

  However, now that Qiu Feixing has explicitly stated that he wants to take him as an inner disciple, if Bai Gongfeng wants him, he must exchange two inner disciples' quotas for him, which would be too costly.

  It was unexpected that Chi Yang Peak would actually give Zhang Shan an inner door quota. For a time, the whole scene fell silent, and even disciples who were not aware of the inside story could feel that something unusual had happened.

  Wei Yue's face sank like water, his mind turning with countless thoughts, unable to make a decision for the time being. If Zhang Shanjian had exceptional talent, it would be fine, but now he was clearly just a mediocre person. Using two inner gate quotas to exchange for him would lead to self-blame and criticism from within the sect afterwards.

  At this time, the only woman among the true disciples frowned slightly and said: "What's the necessity of this? Once you enter the door, you are all my Tiān Jiào Temple's disciples. Let's leave a thread for everything."

  She said, looking at Qiu Fei Xing: "In my opinion, this disciple is the weakest, giving him an inner door quota is too much, what about other talented disciples? What do you think, Brother Qiu?"

  Qiu Feixing naturally understood her meaning, which was to let himself be spared and spare others, demote the treatment given to Zhang Shan to that of an outer disciple, and then have Wei Yuechi use two outer disciple quotas to exchange him over.

  Qiu Feixing narrowed his eyes and hesitated in his heart.

  This woman is Miao Caiyun, the true heir of Xuanbing Peak. Xuanbing Peak has always maintained neutrality in the dispute between Chiyan Peak and Baijing Peak, not helping either side. Miao Caiyun has always been a fair person and dislikes internal strife within the sect, which is why she spoke out to mediate.

  As for Muoaiying's temperament, the head of the law enforcement hall was very appreciative and intended to recommend her as his successor in the future. Therefore, Qiu Feixing considered whether he should give her some face.

  Then he felt Ma Chengxing's anxious gaze, and thought that Zhang Shan had actually passed the intermediate difficulty of the Tianlu Road test. If he was allowed to grow up, he would definitely become a great enemy of Chi Yangfeng in the future.

  Qiu Feixing smiled and said, "Miao Shimei doesn't know, but I, the master of Chi Yang Peak, have indeed taken a liking to this person, so it's absolutely impossible to let him go."

  Muoi's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but she was also helpless. She looked at Zhang Shan with a pitiful gaze and fell silent.

  Qiu Feixing turned his head to Wei Yuechi and said, "I don't know if Brother Wei has considered it carefully or not? If he is unwilling to exchange for two inner door quotas, then he will be a disciple of my Chi Yang Peak."

  Wei Yuechi's expressionless face opened: "Since Chiyan Peak is eager for materials, then Bai Geng Peak will endure the pain and give in."

  Zhang Shan's heart was icy cold, "The birds have flown away, the rabbits are dead, and the dogs are cooked. I am just a chess piece after all, and I didn't expect to be discarded so quickly."
