Chapter 10: Sowing discord...Duobao: I'm not a fool!
Outside the main hall, after Duobao left in anger, the other disciples also dispersed... Sanqing was studying the matter of Xinsheng while listing the invitation list for the disciple-recruiting ceremony...
On the other side, Duobao returned to his cave in Shangqing Mountain angrily...
"Brother Duobao, didn't you go to ask Master about us becoming his disciples? Why... Could it be that Master doesn't allow it?"
As soon as I entered the cave, a fat rabbit, as tall as a man, came towards me with a shameless face... Its tone was full of uneasiness.
"I have never met the Master."
Duobao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and explained...Inside his cave, in addition to rabbits, there were blue lions, white elephants, golden-haired lions and other animals common in the prehistoric times. There was even a man-sized blackfish lying on the edge of the water tank, looking at him expectantly.
Judging from the fluctuations around it, they are all monsters that are about to transform!
"Ah? How could this be? Could it be that Master doesn't think highly of us?"
The fat rabbit with long ears looked disappointed...
"Don't talk nonsense! The Shangqing lineage believes in teaching everyone, so how could they look down on us?"
Inside the cave, Wu Yu, who had the highest level of cultivation and was as good as a True Immortal, and who was no less powerful than Duo Bao, shouted, interrupting Fat Rabbit's words... Then, he took the initiative to ask Duo Bao, "Daoyou Duo Bao, what happened? You looked angry when you came back, so it must have nothing to do with us."
"Has anyone offended you?"
"Yes!" At this time, the Fat Rabbit and other monsters also reacted and quickly echoed: "Brother Duobao, who dares to provoke a disciple of yours?"
"Fellow Daoist Duobao, just speak your mind. We will help you vent your anger!"
"Count me in!"
"Duobao Daoist Fellow thinks highly of me, and I will do my best to recommend you to your master... We will definitely help you!"
All the monsters spoke up and expressed their full support for him... Duobao felt warm in his heart, these friends are really the best!
"Hey, you guys don't know, I was going to the Grand Master's Hall today, hoping to ask the Master to accept you as my disciples... But who knew that as soon as I arrived at the hall, something happened that made me extremely angry. So, I'm sorry about you becoming my disciple!"
"Ah!~"
The fat rabbit with long ears subconsciously let out a resentful sigh... Fortunately, Wu Yu noticed something was wrong at the first time, and glared at the fat rabbit fiercely, blocking the resentful words that were about to come out of his throat, and asked with concern: "What kind of big thing happened that even you, a disciple of Sanqing, feel angry..."
"This matter is a matter of my sect..."
Duobao hesitated... Chang'er climbed up the pole beside him: "Brother Duobao, don't worry. With your help, we will definitely be able to become Master Tongtian's disciples in the future... Since it is an established fact, how can we not know about it? Brother Duobao, just tell us, we will definitely not leak it."
Compared with other monsters, it must be said that the fat rabbit with long ears is more shameless. He hasn't even joined Shangqing Sect yet, but he's already calling everyone "senior brother". He even calls Tongtian "Master" and regards himself as a disciple... It can be said that he is extremely shameless, even worse than Xiao Lin!
(Xiao Lin: ...Author, I'm tickling you!~)
"This... Hey, what Brother Chang Er said is not wrong. We are all fellow disciples from now on. This matter concerns the glory of the Three Pure Ones, and you should also know it."
Duobao sighed pretentiously and told the story of what happened today with some exaggeration.
"Today, as soon as I arrived at the main hall, I heard Master announce the appointment of the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones... The person turned out to be an iron-eating beast that Master and his friends had adopted before, Xiao Lin!" "Brothers, you don't know that Xiao Lin is just an iron-eating beast. When my master and his friends rescued him from the snow, he was almost frozen to death... He lacks aptitude, and entered the sect more than 80 years earlier than me, and has just reached the level of Earthly Immortal... All he knows how to do all day is invent some boring things and gain some useless merits, and he has no awareness of being a disciple of the Three Pure Ones..."
Duobao slandered Xiao Lin in every possible way... All the monsters present, even the most rational Wu Yu, felt that Xiao Lin was not worthy of being a disciple of Sanqing!
"How can such a lazy, inadequate and lazy disciple be worthy of the title of chief disciple?" Duobao deliberately emphasized the word "lazy". "You know, the chief disciple is the face of the Three Pure Ones. When the master is in seclusion or traveling, he is the face of the Three Pure Ones and needs to protect the disciples. In his spare time, he has to guide the disciples in their practice..."
"But his cultivation is not even as good as any other disciple! If he is only accepted as a personal disciple, it would be fine. Seeing that he has accompanied Master and Master for many years, it is not intolerable... But the chief disciple is so important, how can he be easily granted?"
"So, for the sake of the Three Pure Ones' reputation, and for the safety and cultivation of future disciples, I strongly opposed the appointment of that stupid iron-eating beast as the chief disciple... I don't know what the iron-eating beast had bewitched my uncle and master to make him the chief disciple. Even I was severely reprimanded by the master."
At the scene, all the monsters showed indignation after listening to Duobao's words... The fat rabbit even clamored that he would go and get revenge for Duobao!
"A tiny iron-eating beast dares to snatch the position of chief disciple? In our opinion, the position of chief disciple can only be held by Senior Brother Duobao! Senior Brother Duobao, tell me the location of Xiao Lin's cave, and I will go and teach him a lesson, so that he will know not to covet a position that does not belong to him!"
Long-ear yelled, rubbed his furry forearms and rushed out of the cave!
"Alright, no matter how bad Xiao Lin is, he is still a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Is it your turn to teach him a lesson?"
The mullet spirit snorted coldly and stopped Long Ear... Long Ear shook his ears, rolled his red eyes, and moved his triangular lips. When he was about to say something... the mullet interrupted him directly and was too lazy to listen to whatever flatterer he had to say!
"Brother Duobao, is the matter of the chief disciple settled now?"
Duobao's eyes flashed with calculation, and he sighed softly: "After my strong arguments, Uncle Master and Master finally gave in... They decided to hold a ceremony for the chief disciple of Sanqing to accept disciples in three years. At that time, I will compete with Xiao Lin. Whoever wins will be the chief disciple."
"Then isn't this Chief Disciple destined for Brother Duobao?" Upon hearing this, Chang'er immediately jumped over to flatter Duobao, looking at him with admiration and saying, "Brother Duobao's talent is unparalleled! His cultivation is even higher than that of the Iron-Eating Beast! In my opinion, that Iron-Eating Beast should have recognized himself earlier and given up his position obediently. Who knows, he might even be able to make a living in front of Brother Duobao!"
"That's not the case." Duobao responded modestly, "Xiao Lin has been with Master Sanqing since he was born, and they have a deep relationship. I'm afraid that Uncle Master and Master will give him some trump cards when the time comes..."
"It's simple. We will help you, Daoist Brother Duobao, to test it out first."
Inside the cave, the most loyal and reckless Qingshi patted his chest and promised: "After we have tested his trump card, Brother Duobao, you will come on stage and win with one strike!"
"This is not good."
Duobao hesitated: "This is an internal matter between us Sanqing. After all, you haven't become Master's disciples yet..."
"Brother Qingshi is right." Finally, Wuyu, who had the highest cultivation and prestige among the monsters, spoke up: "Let's not talk about becoming your disciple in the future. We're going on stage to eliminate the Iron-eating Beast for the sake of the Three Pure Ones' reputation... It's better than the other party becoming the chief disciple in the future and embarrassing us."
"Yes, yes, this is not just about you, Daoist Brother Duobao, but also for our future after we become your disciples!"
"Brother Duobao, don't worry. We will never let that stupid iron-eating beast succeed!"
"The honorable position of Chief Disciple must belong to Daoist Fellow Duobao!"
"When you become the chief disciple, you must take good care of us fellow disciples..."
Many voices of agreement spread, and Duobao responded while feeling secretly happy in his heart: Xiao Lin, no matter what trump card you have, the position of the chief disciple of Sanqing can only and will only be mine, Duobao!
