Beyond the Sky Above Chapter 33

Three days later, Lu Yanping and others were told that all disciples who were above the foundation-building stage would be selected by the various peaks of Shangxuan Sect to directly become inner disciples, while those below the foundation-building stage would need to start as outer disciples and then be assessed and promoted based on their circumstances. If they did not want to stay, they could decide on their own to either switch to another sect or become independent cultivators.

Lu Yanping had already been mentally prepared, and it was not too difficult for him to accept this result. However, some were happy while others were sad. Although Oscar Huang and others were able to become disciples of Shangxuan Sect, they did not know which peak they would be assigned to. They felt that their future was bleak, and they were uneasy for a while, so they put it aside for now.

After a few more days, Lu Yanping bid farewell to Master Qinghe and took his men back first. He was accompanied by several people including Shang Xuanzong Yu Zhou, who not only helped to sort out the internal affairs of Jinghai Sect, but also prepared to submit to Shang Xuanzong.

Lu Yanping originally thought that the two elders Chen and Wu would take advantage of his absence to cause some trouble, but it turned out to be unusually calm. He heard from the disciples who stayed behind that the two had been staying in their own cave in the back mountain and had never come out.

When the disciples who stayed behind heard that the master had returned, they all came out to greet him. Lily Liu was still as gentle and docile as usual, but she looked at Zhou Yin from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
