69: No Spirit Root
What?
Xu Yining couldn’t believe her ears: “Master, didn’t you decide long ago that I would be the True Disciple?”
“Why did it go to my sister?”
Regarding Liu Qingxian’s words, he couldn’t disclose much and could only say tactfully: “There are some things I can’t explain clearly, I can only tell you that your sister is more suitable to be the True Disciple.”
Seeing Xu Yining’s eyes redden with grievance, he comforted her: “How about this, you will be an Inner Sect Disciple in name.”
“In reality, I will treat you like a True Disciple, how about that?”
“Besides, you two are sisters, not outsiders, why bother about a title?”
Xu Yining’s eyes reddened even more.
If it were before, she could have let it go, since after all, they were sisters.
But now…
She glanced at Jiang Fan.
Though Jiang Fan had no expression on his face, she felt that he must be gloating inside, laughing at her.
From the beginning, being a True Disciple was her pride, her glory, her capital to boast in front of Jiang Fan.

Now, this honor had been given to someone else.
She must be a joke in Jiang Fan’s eyes!
She had to take it back!
“Master, I do not accept this!” Xu Yining gritted her teeth and said: “Why does my sister get to be the True Disciple?”
“You haven’t even tested her Spirit Root!”
Xu Youran also felt guilty and quickly said: “Master, let my sister be the True Disciple.”
“I am not worthy of being a True Disciple.”
“Being an Inner Sect Disciple is already a great fortune.”
Li Qingfeng also felt a headache.
With Xu Yining’s qualifications, there was no problem in becoming a True Disciple.
But Xu Youran was the disciple chosen by the Sect Master’s daughter.
How could he neglect her?
At this moment.
Jiang Fan stepped forward and presented a note to Li Qingfeng: “Elder Li, why not test Xu Youran’s Spirit Root?”
Xu Youran anxiously tugged at Jiang Fan’s sleeve: “What are you doing? I can’t stand the embarrassment.”
With her Second Grade Spirit Root, how could she manage?
Jiang Fan, however, smiled and picked up a brush: “I believe Youran has the qualifications to be the True Disciple.”
His words carried a hint of confidence.
The Transcend Mortality Pill that the Sub-Altar Master sought for over a decade couldn’t have been for just a single level improvement, right?
Xu Youran’s current Spirit Root was at least Fourth Grade, not far from Xu Yining.
More than enough to be a True Disciple.
Oh?
Li Qingfeng looked at Jiang Fan in surprise.
Then he looked at Xu Yining’s stubborn face and thought for a moment, saying: “Alright then, Xu Youran’s Spirit Root needs to be tested anyway.”
“We’ll just test it in public.”
He took out a palm-sized disc and said: “Xu Youran, place your hand on it, and the Spirit Root level will appear.”
Xu Youran’s face reddened as she said reluctantly: “Master, my Spirit Root is very low.”
Li Qingfeng said: “It doesn’t matter, no matter how low, you are still my disciple.”
Helpless, she could only walk forward with a heavy heart and place her small hand on the disc.
Her face was full of dejection; she could already imagine the embarrassing scene when the Second Grade Spirit Root was revealed.
Xu Yining stared intently at the disc.
She had to see for herself; if Xu Youran was revealed to have a Second Grade Spirit Root, would Li Qingfeng still have the face to let her be the True Disciple?
Whirr, whirr, whirr—
The disc spun for a while, then stopped.
It projected a beam of light, floating in mid-air as clear text.
