"Cough, cough."
At that moment, a sudden, faint cough was heard. Although the sound was not loud, it was exceptionally clear, coming from Four Elders.
He was coughing and pounding the table with his hand, making a muffled "bang" sound. With this noise, the previously noisy crowd instantly quieted down, as if suppressed by an invisible force.
The gaze of the Four Elders slowly swept over the crowd, finally resting on Zhu Yun. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if able to see into people's hearts.
He looked at the Zhu Yun and said slowly, "You claim to be the disciple of that master, but what evidence do you have?"
His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.
Zhu Yun felt the gaze of the Four Elders and her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show any sign of panic. She lifted her head, met the gaze of the Four Elders, and a hint of determination and confidence flashed in her eyes.
A faint smile appeared on Zhu Yun's young face as she softly said, "I don't have evidence to prove it, but you also don't have evidence to prove that I'm not, old man!"
The tone of Zhu Yun is casual and relaxed, as if not really concerned about the issue at all.
But her words are like a sharp sword, directly hitting the vital points of Four Elders, leaving him momentarily speechless.
The surrounding crowd was surprised to hear Zhu Yun's response. They had originally thought that Zhu Yun would be intimidated by the questioning of the Four Elders, but they were amazed to see her respond so calmly and even turn the tables, leaving the Four Elders speechless.
"This little girl really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! How dare she speak to our Zhou family elders like this!" someone exclaimed.
"Alright, stop arguing! This little girl does have a point. The Zhou family currently has no way to confirm or deny her identity," another person chimed in.
For a moment, the people around started whispering and discussing.
At this moment, the Four Elders standing silently on the side, after listening to Zhu Yun's words, quietly lowered their eyes and fell into contemplation.
Soon, they slowly raised their heads, turned to look at Zhu Yun beside them, and also at Zhou Mo, who had been silent for a long time.
Four Elders looked at Zhou Mo with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry in their eyes. He gazed at Zhou Mo and asked in a low voice, "Young friend, you were also present at the time. Can you confirm what this master disciple is saying is true?"
Facing the inquiry from Four Elders, Zhou Mo did not back down. He straightened his posture, his eyes firm and clear, and replied firmly, "Her words are true. My grandfather and I were more than a hundred miles outside the imperial city when we encountered a group of bandits who claimed to be from the Ink Jade Pavilion. My grandfather was gravely injured while protecting me, and his life was in danger. At that moment, the master who was undergoing tribulation happened to pass by. He saw the plight of my grandfather and me, felt a connection with us, and decided to lend a hand. Not only did he take my grandfather away for treatment, but he also took me as his disciple. This time, it was at the request of my master that my senior sister accompanied me to send Uncle Yuan back home."
Four Elders heard Zhou Mo's words, furrowed his brows slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked, "According to what you said, you encountered an ambush by the Ink Jade Pavilion outside the city? Do you have any other evidence to prove this?"
Four Elders did not pay attention to Zhou Mo's claim of being the disciple of that master, but instead began to investigate the bandits of the Ink Jade Pavilion directly.
The people standing nearby immediately became agitated when they heard that these bandits came from the Moyu Pavilion.
"These little beasts dare to kidnap people from our Zhou family!"
"These ignorant fools, fifty years ago, if it weren't for our former clan leader taking them in, they would have been long gone! Truly ungrateful bastards, bah!"
Zhou Mo Listening to the people around him cursing, he was full of confusion: "What's going on?"
Zhou Mo and Zhu Yun looked at the people around them, all looking indignant, and immediately made a judgment in their hearts.
It seems that there may be an extraordinary past between the Mo Yu Ge and the Zhou family.
"Sigh..." Four Elders sighed and slowly stood up, saying, "The pavilion master of Mo Yu Ge was originally a proud disciple of our Zhou family. It's a pity that due to some trivial matters, he completely broke ties with our Zhou family and thus formed an irreconcilable enmity. Let's not discuss these matters for now. I just can't understand why that hermit master took a liking to you and was willing to take you as his disciple."
When it comes to this, Four Elders looked at Zhou Mo with a sly smile.
Zhou Mo scratched his head and truthfully replied, "Master once said that I have an Innate Divine Body, and as long as I become his disciple, I can not only obtain the top-level cultivation resources, but also help my grandfather heal his injuries. However, Master did not mention anything else about why he insisted on taking me as his disciple."
"What! Innate Divine Body?" The crowd present immediately let out a gasp at the words.
You know, this kind of physique is a rare talent for cultivation that only appears once in a millennium!
With such unique and exceptional talents, it's as if one is truly favored by the heavens. According to the ancient records that have been passed down, individuals with such extraordinary gifts are destined to ascend to a higher realm and become immortals.
Today, everyone has been deeply shaken by the overwhelming impact, to the point that they have forgotten to whisper to each other, all deeply impressed by the young man before them.
It's no wonder that the one who triggered the descent of heavenly thunder and possesses the unparalleled master would take him as a disciple. After all, such a rare physique would make anyone's heart flutter.
"Is this child's words true or false? I've only heard of the Innate Divine Body as a type of physique. It is said that the great Lin Mo of the past had this type of physique and successfully transcended the heavenly tribulation, ascending to become a legendary immortal!"
"All of this is just what the child said. We don't know if it's true or not. Why don't we use the Soul-Testing Stone to test it? That way we can know the result, right?"
Hearing the discussions around them, the Four Elders and others gradually recovered from their shock.
"This young friend, would you be willing to undergo a spiritual test in front of all of us? We still have many doubts about what you just said, so let's wait until the test is over before drawing any conclusions."
Four Elders looked at the young man in front of them with a serious expression, with a wise glint in their eyes.
The matter of the Innate Divine Body is of great significance. If this young man is truly the Innate Divine Body, it will be a huge surprise for the entire family. But if this is just a farce or a misunderstanding, they must clarify the facts in time to avoid unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding.
Do these despicable old men think they can bully us just because we are two kids?
No matter how much I explain, they refuse to believe it, it's simply a waste of the good words they had exchanged Outside the city gate.
Zhu Yun was extremely anxious, if this continued, when would she be able to leave with Zhou Mo and complete her great plan!
I saw Zhu Yun behind me, silent. Zhou Mo immediately stopped thinking about it, fearlessly looked directly into the eyes of Four Elders, and said, "I happen to have the same idea. This will benefit both sides. However, after the test, I have one more thing to ask the elders for help."
