"You don't need to keep them anymore. Just hand these things over to me for safekeeping."
"But..."
"But what? What difference does it make whether you keep them or I do? Could it be that you think I'm not careful enough and might lose them?"
"Of course not. If you will keep them, then let you keep them!"
Pan Yi did not dare to escalate the matter.
He had only just become the first disciple; if this reached the sect master, his position would surely become precarious.
Bai He was secretly delighted and turned to Ye Shiyuan. "Pack all of these up."
"Yes."
Ye Shiyuan's storage ring had already been emptied the night before. So, storing these gold and silver treasures would be more than easy.
Bai He did not forget the real purpose of his visit today because of these valuables. He looked around, cleared her throat lightly, and said, "Which one of you is Xu feng?"
"I am."
The handsome youth standing at the very front who is much taller than him immediately stepped forward.
So this was Xu feng.
Right now, he really did look very young, his skin so delicate it seemed like it could be pinched to draw water.
However, he looked extremely unhappy.
"Little Elder Bai, this person insulted Lingguang Sect earlier. He absolutely cannot be kept."
Pan Yi still had the nerve to accuse others.
Why had Xu feng insulted Lingguang Sect in the first place, if not because of him?
Instead, Bai He walked over to the only chair and sat down, looking at the partially written list of selected candidates on the table.
"These are the disciples you selected today."
"Yes."
"Call all of them over. I will personally examine each one."
Pan Yi was startled and said anxiously, "But the sect master has already ordered that this matter be handled entirely by me."
"Don't worry, I will speak to Senior Brother myself. Since when is it your place to teach me how to do things?"
Bai He was unexpectedly domineering, far more so than usual. But this Little Elder Bai was the last disciple of the founding ancestor.
Even if his strength was insufficient, his status was there, and no one dared to show him disrespect.
Moreover, judging by past precedent, the master had almost always granted his whatever he asked for, let alone such a trivial matter.
"This disciple would not dare."
"Stand aside. Ye Shiyuan, come here for a moment."
"Little Elder Bai, what are your instructions?"
Pan Yi moved to the side and Ye Shiyuan took his place.
Bai He pointed at the recorded quotas above and said, "Later, you will personally conduct the examinations. Anyone you think is unqualified, remove them all from the list. You have more experience with this sort of thing."
Ye Shiyuan had once also served as the head disciple and had done similar things before.
"Yes, Little Elder Bai."
Although Bai He wanted to take Xu feng in as a disciple, it was clear that Xu feng currently harbored deep prejudice against Lingguang Sect.
