They are all your Seniors!

Ye Fan soon followed Lin Xinmin to a terrace that led to a large palace and there were many protégés that were standing guard on the steps.

In fact, as soon as Ye Fan and Lin Xinmin approached near the terrace, more than 30 protégés had stepped forward.

Lin Xinmin sticked her small tongue out before giggling softly, "I've got to go now. I am not unable to accompany you inside."

Then she had fled away.

"You must be Senior Ye Fan?" A protégé smiled as he approached.

"I am your Junior Protégé Cai Xucai."

Behind him, the protégés were all bowing respectfully. "Our respects to Senior Ye Fan!"

Ye Fan was startled by their politeness as he awkwardly said, "Yes, I am Ye Fan. I am here to see my mistress."

Cai Xucai smiled, "Fairy Xuan is already in the great hall with the other elder leaders."

Ye Fan returned a hand bow and thank them, "Thank you, fellow protégés. I shall enter the hall now."

With that, he had walked up the terrace and into the great gates of the palace.

But he was feeling a little weird.

It was because this place seemed a little heavy guarded and even the two other elder leaders were presented too?

Or maybe the Witch Xuan Xueqi had already suspected that he would be going to assassinate her?

Throughout the night, he was actually sleepless on how he was going to kill the Witch Xuan Xueqi the next day and he had even check the 101 Dummy Guide on Killing a Superior Cultivator. When he turned to the last page of the book, he was stunned to read that it was impossible for a non-golden celestial to kill a golden celestial.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi is at the True Origin and therefore a golden celestial.

When Ye Fan had entered the great hall, he saw the Fairy Xuan Xueqi and the other two elder leaders.

But he was also startled to see Wang Meng, Chen Yuyan and 4 others.

He immediately suspected that the other 4 were his seniors and that today was an introduction meeting for the 7 core protégés.

He quickly pays his respects to his mistress and the two elder leaders before bowing with his hands to greet the others.

Today, Fairy Xuan Xueqi looked really stunning and it seemed to him that she had put a lot of efforts in her dressing today.

Even if Ye Fan wants to kill her, he could not help feeling astonished how beautiful she is in her white and golden splendid dress and she literally lit the great hall with her alluringly radiance.

A fine looking man smiled at Ye Fan, "So it is Junior Ye Fan. I am your Senior Fang De."

Elder leader Huo Tianba who was also the acting sect leader laughed jovially, "Ye Fan is finally here now. Why don't you all introduce yourself first to the rest?"

Fang De smiled, "I am the Eldest Protégé Brother Fang De. My master is the acting leader."

A beautiful and elegant maiden took a curious look at Ye Fan before she said, "I am your Second Protégé Sister Mei Yinxuan. My master is also the acting leader."

A third young man stepped forward. He was really lank and he displayed a grin, "I am your Third Protégé Brother Wu Qinghai. My master is Elder Leader Yu."

A fourth man young man who was the furthest away began to introduce himself, "I am your Fourth Protégé Brother Dong Yiduo. My master is Elder Leader Yu too."

Huo Tianba laughed as he pointed at Wang Meng, "You are my third core protégé now and also the Fifth Protégé Brother."

Wang Meng immediately bowed his respects to his four senior proteges. "Junior Wang Meng greets my seniors."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled, displaying a hint of delight. "Ye Fan is my only core protégé and he is to be your Sixth Protégé Brother."

Ye Fan was startled that he was the Witch Xuan Xueqi only core protégé; or is he the only one that is left now after the rest had been made into a melting furnace by her to cultivate the yin-yang cultivation? Or else how could she maintain such an alluring and peerless look for so long?

But he quickly followed the example of Wang Meng and greeted the other 4 seniors, "Your Junior Ye Fan greets my seniors."

Yu Haixian laughed aloud, "And this is my third core protégé Chen Yuyan. She is to be your Seventh Protégé Sister."

Chen Yuyan giggled softly as she respectfully greeted all seniors one by one, "Eldest Senior Fang De, Second Protégé Sister Mei Yinxuan, Third Protégé Brother Wu Qinghai, Fourth Protégé Brother Dong Yiduo! Your Junior Sister Chen Yuyan pays my humble respects to all of you!"

Fan De began to smile while Wu Qinghai and Dong Yiduo were both chortling softly.

Even the cold looking beauty and elegant Mei Yinxuan displayed a smile at Chen Yuyan.

It was obvious that Chen Yuyan was likeable after she had tried to remember all their names and even accorded to them a proper respect one by one.

To the 4 seniors here, Chen Yuyan was definitely more likeable than Wang Meng or Ye Fan.

Ye Fan already knows that Chen Yuyan was likeable since they had overcome the first martial meeting together.

Elder Leader Huo Tianba who was also the acting sect leader was now looking at Ye Fan, Wang Meng and Chen Yuyan. "The three of you are new to the inner sanctuary. From now onward, the three of you and your other 4 senior protégés will be the leading protégé leaders to lead us to greater glory against the other celestial sects. Especially against our arch nemesis the Myriad Swords Sect…"

"… I will expect the three of you to have absolute loyalty to the Profound Cloud Sect. There are absolutely no mercy to any traitors or spies. Do you understand me?"

Chen Yuyan, Wang Meng and Ye Fan said almost the same time, "Your protégé understands."

Ye Fan was actually the slowest to speak as he had every intention to betray the Profound Cloud Sect and to kill his sect mistress.

Elder Leader Huo Tianba smiled, "Good!"

Then he added with a smile, "Now it is time for you to pick your cultivation slips. As core protégés, you have more choices than the other common protégés and what's more, your cultivation slips are also the rare ones that are not available to the common protégés."

Ye Fan was startled and excited at the same time.

Rare cultivation slips?

This would greatly help him to take vendetta on the Witch Xuan Xueqi and the Profound Cloud Sect once he could master the cultivation methods in the rare cultivation slips!

He was not the only ones that were feeling excited; the eyes of Chen Yuyan and Wang Meng were glowing too and they wondered what the rare cultivation slips were going to be?
