“Yes”

Lin Xuan replied. Although he was lying, his expression was not flustered at all, and his heartbeat was as usual. Anyway, after this incident, they would no longer meet again, and the other party could not tell whether it was true or false now.

The Red-Haired Ancestor did not speak, but his expression was a little gloomy. Although others didn’t know what was going on, they also became wary and nervous. And started trembling as if they were treading on thin ice. They didn’t know what was wrong with this old monster at the Nascent Soul Stage. However, wouldn’t it be extremely miserable if he vented his anger on them?

The Red-haired Ancestor was really depressed at the moment, and it was very rare for him to have the idea of taking in a disciple. But he was actually rejected twice, first by Tian Xiaojian, then Lin Xuan.

To his surprise, the two boys had been chosen by other old monsters at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Since the other party was already with a sect. it was naturally impossible for him to forcefully take them as his disciples. Not to mention that if he did so, he would be laughed at, and the old monsters behind the two of them would definitely not let him go!

Although the Red-Haired Ancestor was not afraid of anything, he didn’t want to have a conflict with other cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.

After a long silence, he raised his head again, but there was still a heavy haze between his eyebrows. He turned his gaze and focused on the last cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Xu Han!

It would be better if he didn’t look. But when he looked at him, he was very angry.

Although this guy was also at the Foundation Establishment Late-stage, he was much older than the two boys from before. At most, he was at the mid-upper level. It was still unknown whether he can condense a Golden Core or not. Let alone reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

How could he accept this waste?

Seeing that the old ancestor was staring at him with an unfriendly expression, Xu Han’s heart was beating like a drum, just as he started to get uneasy, the other party’s voice rang his ears, “Boy, do you want to serve this me?”

“As a servant?”

“Yes.” the Red-haired Ancestor nodded. “Being my servant, although I will not let you inherit my mantle, I can still give you some advice when I’m in a good mood. “

“Thank you for not abandoning me senior, I’m willing to do whatever you ask.”

After a slight pause, Xu Han agreed without hesitation. He had already discussed this matter with his Third Uncle just now. Although there was a huge difference between being a servant or a disciple, in any case, he still would have a relationship with an old monster of the Nascent Soul Stage.

In You Prefecture, the Xu Clan was originally a large-scale Immortal Cultivation Family. The strength even went hand in hand with medium-sized Sects. However, it has now declined. Only the Third Uncle in the family reached the Core Formation Stage. The others were a lot worse.

It is normal for the strength of a family to rise and fall. However, there were several generations of hate against the Xu Clan. If they didn’t work hard and find a way, the Xu Clan would soon face the fate of being exterminated.

Therefore, when the uncle and nephew heard that the Red-Haired Ancestor was about to accept a disciple of the Nascent Soul Stage, they were immediately excited. It was as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. If they could get the support of the Nascent Soul Stage old man, not only will the crisis in front of them be solved, but the Xu Clan would have a comeback soon. With an even more brilliant glory than before.

In order to get his nephew to qualify, Xu Lian made a desperate move, the Xu Clan was not as rich as before. He spent almost all of his wealth to buy a few Top Grade Spirit Tools for his nephew, as well as a lot of powerful Talismans. And this was just to win the battle for the Wood Spirit Fruits.

The other two places were actually obtained by Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian, who were only at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage. Xu Han was shocked, but he was also very happy. Thinking that these two boys must have been very lucky!

Of course, the old geezer would not choose two people with such a low cultivation base to inherit his legacy. Xu Han felt that his chances of winning were at least 90%.

However, the situation changed. It took him a lot of effort to come to this hall, but the old man suddenly said that the news outside was just a rumor. And that he just wanted to take in a servant.

Xu Han’s disappointment was imaginable. Although it couldn’t be said that he was extremely desperate, it wasn’t much worse. However, after discussing it with Xu Lian. He changed his mind.

First of all, although the identity of a servant was a little humble, with the identity of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage, he would not be wronged. Moreover, the Red-Haired Ancestor was alone and had no successor up to now. If he served him well, it was possible for him to be accepted as a disciple in the future!

Secondly, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted, as the old ancestor mentioned before. He would give pointers in his spare time. Taking advice from a Nascent Soul Stage Expert, the benefits were self-evident. He could also take a lot of detours.

Thirdly, to put it bluntly, it depended on the owner’s consent to beat his dog. He had become the servant of the Red-Haired Ancestor. It was said that the old man was extremely protective of his people. With his name and shelter, at least for a short period, the crisis of the Xu family was lifted.

In short, whether it was for himself or his clan, serving the old ancestor was his only choice.

Seeing that Xu Han had agreed, the Red-Haired Ancestor’s expression softened a little. Although he didn’t intend to accept this person as a servant at first, he was just afraid that others would say that he didn’t keep his promises.

However, after being rejected two times in a row by Lin Xuan and Tian Xiaojian, the Nascent Soul Stage old man was also a bit nervous. If Xu Han rejected his suggestion, wouldn’t he lose face?

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen.

He looked at Xu Han who was kneeling on the ground, and his expression softened, “Get up, as long as you are loyal to this ancestor, you will benefit a lot in the future.”

“Thank you, Old Ancestor.” Xu Han stood up, but he was a little confused in his heart. Although he spoke in an impassioned tone, everyone said that the Red-Haired Ancestor was moody.

It would be beneficial to serve him well, but if something went wrong…

Xu Han sighed in his heart and did not know whether today’s choice was right or wrong.

As for the other cultivators in the main hall, their expressions were different, and they looked at Xu Han with different eyes. Some were envious, some were pitiful, and some were expressionless…
