You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

But to be treated like this?

Just because they are outsiders from the Human Clan?

In addition to feeling aggrieved in their hearts, they couldn't believe that when the Hall Masters of the Ancestor Hall discovered these talents, they would restrain themselves to only take them as nominal disciples?

Even those who only made it through the third round of the life-and-death battle in history were mostly from the Inner Sect or even direct disciples, let alone those after the fifth round.

Such talents, yet Your Highness deliberately obstructs the Hall Masters from taking disciples, would the Hall Masters be content?

However—

"Since the elder brother has spoken, our Ancient Hall will not accept these talents of unknown origin."

A deep male voice suddenly came from the depths of the Ancestor Hall, permeated with a faint pressure that made one involuntarily feel an overwhelming sense of awe.

Everyone immediately understood, it was the voice of the Ancient Hall Master!

The Ancient Hall Master actually complied with Your Highness's wishes and directly gave up on taking disciples?

That included an unparalleled talent who had passed the seventh round of the life-and-death battle.

The many extraordinary talents were also stunned.

Although they didn't understand the Ancestor Hall very well, they knew that the current head of the Hall Masters of the Ancestor Hall, the one in charge, was this Ancient Hall Master!

But with a single word from Seventeenth Prince, the Ancient Hall Master directly gave up on taking disciples?

"Since it's elder brother's wish, my Tianguang Hall will also refrain from accepting disciples for now."

"This year, my Black Sand Hall did not plan to accept disciples anyway."

"Canghai Hall likewise."

"Since elder brother has spoken, my Yuan Yang Hall will also refrain for the time being, focusing on assessment."

"Myriad Swords Hall is loyal to the Human Clan and never accepts those of unknown origin."

For a time, the Hall Masters one after another began to respond.

This situation left everyone present somewhat flabbergasted.

What's going on?

It was understandable that the Ancient Hall Master, who had the prospects of Proving to be a Saint, did not want to take disciples.

But what about the other Hall Masters?

Such astonishingly brilliant talents, and the Hall Masters wouldn't even accept them as nominal disciples?

"Your Highness."

Yan Fang couldn't help but speak out, "We too are part of the Human Clan, why do the Hall Masters refuse us? Simply because of... because of Your Highness's word?"

He had heard that Seventeenth Prince held a very high status in the Ancestor Hall, but he hadn't expected it to be like this!

"I have not ordered the Hall Masters."

Lin Yue stood atop the pavilion, looking down at him, and said calmly, "Besides, even if it were my command, what of it?"

His words left the Martial Cultivator geniuses on the outsider side somewhat stunned.

Your Highness held a high position, but after all, he wasn't a Saint, and yet he dared to openly talk of commanding the Hall Masters?

The rest of Great Yong's locals were silent, not finding anything wrong with his words.

Because they all understood...

The place where Your Highness stood now was the Martial God Tower!

His command at this moment represented the command of the Main Hall Master of the Ancestor Hall!

So what's wrong with commanding the Hall Masters?

"Your Highness."

Yan Fang took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "You can command the Hall Masters, but does that mean... the Main Hall Master also does not wish to take disciples? Over a thousand years ago, when the Ancestor Hall discovered that talent who made it to the seventh round of the life-and-death battle, wasn't he also accepted by the Main Hall Master?"

His statement was clearly a veiled criticism of Lin Yue's unilateral decisions.

"Oh?"

Lin Yue's lips curved into a slow smile and said, "What? You think you are worthy of being a disciple under my Master?"

"I heard the Main Hall Master is mostly in seclusion." Yan Fang said. "This time, the Main Hall Master arranged for Your Highness to preside over the Inner Sect trials. Did he specifically inform Your Highness that... no matter how talented, the Main Hall Master would not accept disciples?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

These people from Eternal Night really know nothing at all, thinking they have no connection with the Demon Clan?

Indeed... birds in a cage, nothing but pawns of the Demon Clan.

He couldn't bother to explain further and simply said indifferently, "Master indeed did not say so; this is my decision. I do not wish you to become my Master's disciple. Is this answer clear to you?"
