All My Disciples Bear The Mark of Greatness - Chapter 3: The System's Task

Chapter 3: The System’s Task

It was just a task from the system. Lu Changsheng had already known Ye Qiubai’s location earlier and even discovered that someone wanted to kill him. The system had finally issued a task, and he wasn’t going to let these little scoundrels ruin it.

Ye Qiubai immediately bowed and said, “Thank you, sir!”

Lu Changsheng nodded and looked at the black-clothed man, his palm falling on the man’s forehead. Suddenly, a transparent spirit emerged from the man’s forehead, and Ye Qiubai’s eyes widened in shock.

“This… is Soul Searching Technique?”

Lu Changsheng lightly nodded, and information began pouring into his mind. The spirit also showed a pained expression. Not long after, Lu Changsheng stopped the search. The black-clothed man’s soul had already been extinguished.

Looking at Ye Qiubai, Lu Changsheng asked, “Do you want to know now?”

Ye Qiubai hesitated, then nodded firmly.

Lu Changsheng didn’t intend to hide the truth and said, “It’s Jiang Cheng.”

Boom!

Ye Qiubai was shocked, his entire body frozen in place. It took a long time for him to react, and he let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with sadness. He thought about it and wondered who would want to kill him so quickly. But he never thought it would be his childhood friend, Jiang Cheng, who had always been together with him.

“Do you need my help to resolve this?” Lu Changsheng asked.

Ye Qiubai raised an eyebrow and shook his head, “No need, sir. I’ll handle this myself.”

Lu Changsheng also showed appreciation in his eyes. When someone is at a low point, they won’t back down. Instead, they’ll courageously move forward, which is the only way to quickly grow.

Ye Qiubai bowed and asked, “Sir, I will repay your kindness one day. But may I know your name?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Ye Qiubai and smiled, “My name is Lu Changsheng. I want to take you as my disciple, which is why I appeared here.”

Ye Qiubai was taken aback, then laughed bitterly, “Sir, don’t joke with me. I’ve lost my cultivation and my talent is gone. I’m not worthy of being your disciple.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t speak, but his finger pointed at Ye Qiubai’s brow, trying to examine his physical condition.

[The meridians are filled with sword energy, the foundation is damaged, and with the right technique and elixirs, it can be repaired and broken through.]

‘Hmm? The system has this function too?’

“What technique and elixirs?”

[They will be given after taking Ye Qiubai as a disciple.]

“Sir?”

Lu Changsheng came back to his senses and smiled, “If I say I can help you return to your peak and even surpass your previous talent, will you follow me?”

Ye Qiubai’s eyes sparkled instantly. Returning to his peak and surpassing his previous talent was exactly what he wanted. And seeing Lu Changsheng’s confidence, he believed it wasn’t a lie.

He didn’t have anything valuable on him anyway, so, why not?

Immediately, Ye Qiubai knelt down and bowed to Lu Changsheng, “Disciple Ye Qiubai greets his master!”

Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s just an apprenticeship. Why do you have to go through such a big ceremony?”

Seeing Ye Qiubai’s serious face, he said, “As a teacher for one day, and a father for the rest of your life, it is natural to perform a grand ceremony.”

After listening, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

‘Good talent, good conduct. It’s not bad to accept such an apprentice.’

[Completed the task of recruiting apprentices and get rewards received]

[Superior Holy Artifact—Albatron Sword]

[Absolute Beginning Sword Sutra]

[Good Fortune Pill]

[At the same time, the apprentice development task has started]

After hearing the system’s words, Lu Changsheng nodded secretly, looked at Ye Qiubai, and said, “Okay, if that’s the case, follow me.”

…

On the way, Ye Qiubai asked, “Master, where are we going now?”

Lu Changsheng said, “Zang Dao Academy.”

“Zang Dao Academy?!”

Ye Qiubai was shocked.

Although this Zang Dao Academy is not in the Tianyuan Dynasty,

However, in the Southern Region, who doesn’t know the Zang Dao Academy?

This is a recognized place for teaching in the Southern Region!

“Master, are you an elder of the Academy?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, “Our faction can be said to belong to the academy, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the academy. It is called Grass Hall. I don’t know if you have heard of it.”

Ye Qiubai shook his head.

“This is also normal. After all, the Grass Hall has not done anything earth-shattering. Even after I took over, I did not accept any more disciples.”

Ye Qiubai actually wanted to ask what the master’s strength was, but he thought it would not be good to ask too much, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

…

Zang Dao Academy elders were still conducting their disciple selection.

However, most of the candidates had already been chosen.

The rest would directly enter the outer courtyard to study.

Only…

In front of all the elders, there was a woman in red who was extremely stubborn.

“I want to join the Grass Hall.”

This is the only sentence she had said so far.

After that, she stood there with a face full of frost.

Moreover, no matter her status or talent, she was the best person in this batch of students, or even in the past few sessions.

This also made the elders very helpless.

After all, they couldn’t force her to join their sect if she didn’t want to.

At this moment, two figures came with swords.

“Oh? Is the enrollment not over yet?”

The elders looked at the man with the sword with complicated expressions.

Lu Changsheng was taken aback and asked, “What… is there something on my face?”

One of the elders pointed to the girl in the open space and said helplessly, “Lu Changsheng, she wants to join the Grass Hall.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the girl in red at the door.

“We have only heard the girl say, ‘I want to join the Grass Hall.'”

However, Lu Changsheng refused, smiling, “Join the elders’ sect instead, I don’t accept disciples.”

After saying this, he then walked into the academy with Ye Qiubai.

“Why?” The girl was unwilling to give up.

Her family had told her about the past achievements of the Grass Hall and arranged for her to join it.

This is what brought her to the Tibetan Taoist Academy.

Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and said, “I’m lazy and like peace and quiet, so I won’t bother with disciples.”

An elder noticed Ye Qiubai and asked, “Changsheng, who is this person?”

“My disciple,” Lu Changsheng replied, taking Ye Qiubai into the academy.

The elders looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and turned to the girl, “Xin Hongyi, why not choose another elder?”

Xin Hongyi shook her head, cupped her hands, and said, “Since I can’t enter the Grass Hall, I will cultivate myself.”

Although it sounded arrogant, given her family background, she indeed didn’t need the elders’ guidance.

Xin Hongyi looked in the direction where Lu Changsheng had left and said softly, “I will prove myself.”

Clearly, she thought Lu Cha

ngsheng didn’t accept her due to her lack of talent.

Who knew that Lu Changsheng was truly lazy!

As for accepting Ye Qiubai, it was just a task from the system.
