Of course, the Cold Chi Sword must be taken.
Being publicly rejected by Song Lin, Master Mei Hua didn't get angry.
Song Lin wasn't formidable enough to have people vying over him.
Mei Hua thought for a moment and handed Song Lin a Jade Talisman, instructing him to come to him for guidance if needed.
Song Lin was likely in the same group as Zhi Xin.
So young and already on the wrong path—it made Mei Hua feel quite regretful.
"Dismissed!"
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Back on Mingxing Peak, Zhi Xin said to Zhengsi, "Please report back to the Heavenly Master for me—I apologize."
"Hmph!"
Zhengsi's face darkened, and without a word, he stormed off with a flick of his sleeve.
After the man was far enough away, Song Lin asked, "What's going on?"
"Nothing. He had a request for me, and I refused."
Zhi Xin didn't mention the matter of taking in disciples.
Perhaps saying it aloud would have made Song Lin unwilling.
