In the main hall of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

“Sect Leader, I’m really not lying to you. Our little junior brother has incredible talent in the Sword Dao.”

Su Changyu hurriedly explained to Daoist Tai Hua in a state of panic.

“Incredible talent in the Sword Dao? How so?”

Daoist Tai Hua still didn’t believe him.

‘The random disciple I found outside is really a genius?’

The chances of that happening was even lower than that of gold falling from the sky.

“Sect Leader, you know that I’m practicing the Four Thunder Sword Techniques, don’t you?”

Su Changyu asked sternly.

“I know, I was the one who bought you the sword manual too. I spent more than 200 gold on it. I intended for you to train hard, develop, and promote the sect but…”

Daoist Tai Hua decided to stop talking, for fear that he would hurt Su Changyu’s pride.

Su Changyu felt a little upset but he decided not to let it bother him.

He continued, “Sect Leader, you should be very clear about the Four Thunder Sword Techniques. Yesterday, I drew a random sword mark on the ground for Junior Brother and told him to comprehend it as he pleased. Do you know which realm he reached in the epiphany?”

Su Changyu asked softly, keeping the suspense.

“He can get an epiphany out of that too?” Daoist Tai Hua was slightly stunned and he thought, ‘If anyone can have an epiphany while trying to comprehend a random sword mark formed by Su Changyu, he must be a genius.’

“Beginner realm?”

Daoist Tai Hua guessed bravely.

“Sect Leader, be bolder with your guesses.”

Su Changyu shook his head.

“Perfection?”

Daoist Tai Hua’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Bolder.”

Su Changyu continued.

“Damn, Changyu, do you want to swallow needles?”

Daoist Tai Hua didn’t try guessing anymore.

‘Greater Mastery?’

‘That can’t be.’

He was fortunate enough to have tried learning the Four Thunder Sword Technique but he didn’t succeed at all. In his opinion, even a Beginner in the Four Thunder Sword Technique was considered a genius, what more someone who had reached the Greater Mastery realm.

‘Not to mention, he reached the Greater Mastery realm in just one day?’

‘That’s more than a genius. He’s probably the reincarnation of a Sword Immortal.’

“Sect Leader, you might really not believe me and even I think that I’m dreaming, but our little Junior Brother managed to reach the Greater Mastery realm in his comprehension of the Four Thunder Sword Technique overnight. He also managed to comprehend some of the sword momentum!”

Su Changyu was at a loss for words after saying that.

‘Greater Mastery realm of the Four Thunder Sword Technique?’

‘He even comprehended some of the sword momentum?’

Daoist Tai Hua was stunned.

He could not imagine what kind of a person would reach the Greater Mastery realm in the Four Thunder Sword Technique overnight.

Daoist Tai Hua fell silent.

However, after a while, he burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha, we have a genius, we have a genius. There’s finally a genius in the Qingyun Dao Sect.”

Daoist Tai Hua clenched his fist in agitation. He was beyond excited.

Su Changyu was stunned motionless at the side.

‘What does this mean?’

“Sect Leader, what do you mean by that?”

Su Changyu was a bit confused.

“What do I mean by that? Shouldn’t you be happy that there’s finally a genius in the Qingyun Dao Sect? Why are you pulling a long face?”

Daoist Tai Hua was grinning widely from ear to ear.

“No, Sect Leader, our little Junior Brother may be a genius, but the problem is, if we keep him in our sect, wouldn’t we be hampering him from progressing? My conscience is stopping me from being at peace with myself.”

Su Changyu voiced the thoughts that he meant from the bottom of his heart.

Previously, he didn’t know that Ye Ping was a genius but now that he did, his conscience was eating at him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tai Hua Daoist’s voice sounded.

“Changyu, you’re thinking too much. Your little Junior Brother has participated in the Grand Immortal Ascension Meet 50 times but none of the sects wanted him. Besides, I found him in a vast sea of people and taking him in is considered a favor for him. It’s a good thing for the Qingyun Dao Sect too. What’s the problem?”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

After saying that, Su Changyu thought about it and couldn’t help but say, “Previously, we didn’t know that he was a genius but things are different now that we do.”

Su Changyu said.

Daoist Tai Hua said with a solemn expression, “How is it different? Do you mean that we should tell your little Junior Brother that he should hurry up and go rush to another sect because he’s a genius? Changyu, let me ask you, how can he prove that he is a genius when he goes to another sect?”

“By directly casting the Four Thunder Sword Techniques? Even if he succeeds in doing so, is there a sect in Qingzhou that is worthy of him?”

“Even if the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect takes him in, what kind of trouble will he encounter after joining them? He’s so talented. Won’t the other geniuses of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect get jealous after seeing that?”

“Besides, fate is important for the cultivators of our generation. Since he was rejected by so many sects, it’s fate that he was chosen by the Qingyun Dao Sect.”

“Are you feeling a little guilty because our sect is lacking in resources so you think that we’re hampering him in his cultivation? But have you ever thought if he will get everything he needs even if he goes to another sect?”

“Besides, the larger sects like scheming against each other, and they even resort to assassination in order to stop each other from developing. Changyu, don’t be too kind.”

Daoist Tai Hua was indeed worthy of being the Sect Leader. Having lived for almost 60 years, everything he said made sense.

Su Changyu came to a sudden realization.

After some careful thought, he felt that it was indeed so.

‘So what if he’s a genius?’

‘No one would dare to take him in because his origin is unknown.’

‘Even if they do, he won’t be the only genius in the sect.’

‘Besides, those sects started as a small sect and they had climbed to the top to reach where they are over the years. They produced genius after genius with effort and hard work.’

‘Their geniuses don’t appear out of thin air.’

For a moment, Su Changyu felt that he was indeed being a little too kind.

“Changyu, as long as we do these, we will have a clear conscience.”

“We’ll genuinely teach him about immortal cultivation and give him all the resources of the sect. Our conscience will then be clear.”

“Of course, there’s one more thing to do. We have to continue acting like experts and keep him in the sect. I’m not greedy. We’ll tell him the truth once our sect advances to a third-grade sect and he can then decide for himself whether to leave or stay. How about that?”

Daoist Tai Hua continued.

Su Changyu immediately nodded.

“Sect Leader, you’re right.”

“It’s good that you understand. Changyu, follow me to go down the mountain for the next two days. Since your little Junior Brother is a genius, I shall buy two sword manuals so that he can learn well. Even if we have to go bankrupt, we can’t shortchange him.”

“Go back and rest. Remember, don’t tell others about this. If more people know about this, there’ll be a higher chance of it being exposed. Be steady. Changyu, just imagine that you’re a true expert. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.”

Daoist Tai Hua instructed.

Su Changyu then left the hall.

After Su Changyu left, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but laugh again, but he covered his mouth and didn’t dare to be too loud.

As for the guilt?

To be frank, what was there to feel guilty about?

In the mortal world, if one bought a valuable antique for a thousandth of a tael, how many would be willing to return the item to the seller?

Besides, there were talents everywhere, but only a few could be recognized.

None of the hundreds of immortal sects chose Ye Ping in the fifty-odd Grand Immortal Ascension Meets. Why didn’t the Qingyun Dao Sect deserve to pick up a genius?

However, those who had not experienced any hardship often enjoyed persuading others to be kind.

‘Changyu has to train harder in the future.’

Soon, there would be bursts of laughter from time to time in the grand hall, which confused several disciples.
