The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 18, Elder Tang's Dilemma

...In order to lower his expectations, Lu Ye might have to choose the lowest level Sect. To show that he did not hesitate, he should have only made one choice. If Lu Ye was not mistaken, that was what Pang Da Hai meant when he said those words to her. The most important question for Lu Ye right now was whether he should trust her....

After thinking about it, he made up his mind and placed the pen on the table. Then, he handed his paper and jade tablet to the mustachioed cultivator. "Senior sister, I've already made a decision."

The cultivator arch his brows. "Do you need more time to think about it?"

Lu Ye lowered his head and said, “No need.”

His talent was indeed very low, so there was no point in him choosing another Sect. In that case, he would rather put all his hopes on the Red Blood Sect. Pang Da Hai had no reason to mess with him. After all, he had given him two mineral ores.

"All right." The mustachioed cultivator nodded before he kept Lu Ye's jade paper and tablet. Then, he looked at the tablet. “Oh, you are Lu Ye si Leaf One.”

“My name is only Lu Ye, Senior Brother!” The corner of his eyes twitched.

“Alright, Lu Ye si One Leaf!” The mustachioed planter smiled at him as he emphasized 'One Leaf'.

Back then, Lu Ye was eager to scold him. He already had a nickname even before he plunged into the world of cultivation, so how would he face others? Also, who spread the word that his talent was just a leaf?

A moment later, the mustachioed cultivator stored all of their paper and shot up into the sky. Then, he turned into a beam of light and flew towards the middle of the mountain in the East.

There are many palaces in that location. The palace was the residence of the cultivators from the Evil Moon Valley, but they had become a temporary base for those from the Great Sky Coalition now. Many cultivators continued to enter and exit the base. There are also many items that have been collected and are awaiting allocation. The mustachioed planter flew straight towards the deepest palace. There was already a female cultivator waiting outside the palace.

Seeing him, the woman asked, "Is everything ready?"

The mustachioed cultivator replied, “All his letters are here.”

“Give me. The representatives are talking about retreating from this place. After they finish discussing, I will give them the paper.”

“Are we going to retreat this fast?” The mustachioed cultivator was surprised.

The female cultivator replied, “The people from Thousand Demon Ridge reacted faster than we expected. Some of their Sects are gathering, so we should leave this place immediately.”

After hearing his explanation, the moustached cultivator nodded. Although many people from the Grand Sky Coalition had come, they were in the Thousand Demon Ridge region. If they fought again, the other party could continue to summon more people, which would put the Great Sky Coalition at an disadvantage.

Since the Evil Moon Valley had been destroyed and they obtained many benefits, this was the perfect time to leave. After handing the stack of papers to the woman, the mustachioed cultivator immediately left the place.

The female cultivator waited outside the hall for a moment before a loud voice sounded from within. "Lake in."

After hearing that, he immediately opened the door.

There were only ten people in the hall who were representatives of the ten Sects who had come to destroy the Evil Moon Valley. The person in front was an upright and dignified looking person, who was Pang Zhen from the Fair Sect. He was also the Vice Leader of the Grand Sky Coalition Coalition. He was the most powerful cultivator among these people because he was in the Divine Sea Realm.

The woman walked towards Pang Zhen and respectfully put down the pile of papers before saying, "I'll leave now."

After he left, Pang Zhen flipped through the stack of papers and only picked one. Then, he gave the rest to the representatives of the Green Jade Sect.

For Lu Ye and the others, each piece of paper brought their future and dreams. However, to people like Pang Zhen, these letters were not worth paying attention to.

Every time they attacked the territory occupied by the Thousand Demon Ridge, they would save a few people, and accepting people with talent and talent to cultivate was something they had agreed upon.

When more than a hundred papers passed through the hands of these representatives, the number of such papers was reduced. When the letters were in the hands of representatives of the Valley of the Hundred Flowers, he chose over ten people. Just as he was about to hand his paper over to the next paper, he seemed to find something interesting as he looked towards an old man behind the line. “Elder Tang, someone has chosen the Red Blood Sect.” 

After hearing that, Pang Zhen, who was talking to a representative from the Green Jade Sect, unwillingly raised his head. "Are you serious?"

He had just randomly selected one person out of over a hundred people, so he paid no attention to the other candidates.

Others also looked surprised. Someone even said with a smile, “It looks like this person is quite astute compared to the others.”.

Judging from his words, it seemed like choosing the Red Blood Sect was an incredible decision. The person behind the line called Elder Tang was the old man who brought Lu Ye out of the mine.

After hearing that, Elder Tang was also shocked. Their sect had joined many such operations before, but no one chose their Sect even though those who had been saved were given three options. It was because the Red Blood Sect was at its lowest level. Any ambitious and aggressive person would not choose this Sect.

Although he was shocked, Elder Tang still waved his hand. “You are aware that we do not accept any students.” If not for the rules of the coalition, the name of the Red Blood Sect would not have appeared on the paper.

After hearing that, the representative from the Valley of the Hundred Flowers said, “I'm afraid you can't resist it, Elder Tang. He only chose the Red Blood Sect, and no one else chose your Sect.”

The surprised Elder Tang extended his hand. "Let me see."

After retrieving the rest of the paper from the representatives of the Valley of Hundred Flowers, Elder Tang scrutinized the papers and realized that, as the representative had said, the person had only chosen his Sect.

“Lu Ye...” Staring at the name on the jade tablet, Elder Tang immediately recalled the young man he had met in the mine, so he was surprised that the young man had chosen his Sect.

The representative of the Valley of Hundred Flowers said, “According to the rules, in this kind of situation, you are obliged to accept this person.”

There are such rules in the coalition. The Grand Sky coalition will give three chances to those who are saved. However, if one only chose one Sect, the Sect chosen would have to accept the person. The prerequisite is that no one else makes the same choice. This rule is to give those who are determined to develop an opportunity. Only a small number of representatives from the Sect were aware of this rule, so there was no way the former slave could have known about it.

"This man ..." Elder Tang looked helpless. The fact that Lu Ye had chosen his Sect seemed to have put him in a difficult position.

"Older Tang, it's time for you to accept a disciple." The representative from the Hundred Flower Valley persuaded him, then he changed the subject. “Although this person has been enlightened, his talent is still much to be desired.”

“So what if the talent is low? That doesn't mean anything. You all have been cultivating for so many years, so haven't you noticed this yet?”

“Have you seen someone with one-leaf talent?”

"That's bad. How can he be enlightened?”

“Because he made such a decision, there is no reason for the Crimson Blood Sect to reject him.”

“I'm afraid the people from Cinnabar Heart Sect will...”

As the Cinnabar Heart Sect was mentioned, they all fell silent as if something was stopping them from talking about it.

“Rules are the rules. If the people from Cinnabar Heart Valley don't like it, they can come to me!” Pang Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly slapped the table. “Elder Tang, just take her. Although someone with the talent of one leaf is not worth nurturing, this might be a chance to save your Sect.”

Elder Tang clenched the jade tablet Lu Ye in his hand for a moment before he said, “I'll think about it.”
