Chapter 595 He lost out.
However, when Chao Bufan saw the true face of the white-clad youth, he was shocked. Even Baihe and the others were astonished.
The young man was handsome with delicate features and an imposing presence. His looks were exceptional, even surpassing Chao Bufan's. The white robes he wore added to his charm.
"Holy crap, what's going on? He's even more handsome than me."
Chao Bufan cursed under his breath, a sense of defeat welling up inside him. This kid was so handsome, it was as if he had been photoshopped out of a computer.
"Sisters, it's a handsome young man, I won!" He Yifei suddenly exclaimed with joy.
"I won too!" Tang Qianqian exclaimed happily.
"Bufan," Huang Mengting suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Chao Bufan's ear in a joking tone, "Bufan, he's much more handsome than you!"
Chao Bufan quickly rolled his eyes at Huang Mengting, then asked the white-clad youth in front of him, "Hey bro, what's your name?"
The young man in white said, "Master, I have no name or surname. Please bestow a name upon me."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan felt a headache coming on. He was no longer good at naming people. After thinking for a while, he asked Baihe and the others, "Baihe, what do you think would be a good name for him?"
Huang Mengting quickly said, "Divine Turtle, that's a powerful name."
Li Wei said, "The name 'Divine Turtle' doesn't sound good; it's too corny."
Lily asked, "Bufan, what do you think of the name Ritian?"
Seventh Master said, "This name is good. The sun and the sky together form the character 'Hao,' which represents the universe and the heavens, and it suits him perfectly."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded, then asked the young man in white, "Brother, what do you think?"
The boy said, "It's all up to Master."
Chao Bufan said, "Alright, from now on you'll be called Ritian."
Ri Tian said, "Thank you, Master."
Just then, Chu Xiong and the other two finished their cultivation and, hearing the commotion in the back garden, came over to see what was going on. When they saw Seventh Master, they were all surprised. Chu Xiong said, "We didn't know Eighth Master would grace us with his presence. We are so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "What Eighth Master? Senior Brother, his name is Seventh Master, not Eighth Master."
Wang Er quickly nudged Chao Bufan and asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother, this is clearly the Eighth Master, the leader of the Eight Gates, so how did he become the Seventh Master?"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "What Eight Gates leader? That Eighth Master has already been killed by us. This is the Seventh Master, one of our own."
Chu Xiong and the others smiled slightly, and then said, "So it's Seventh Master. Greetings."
Seventh Master said, "No need, no need."
"Junior brother, who is this?" Wang Er asked again.
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "This is Ritian, who is the old turtle in this pond in disguise."
"Old turtle...what?" Chu Xiong and the others were shocked and quickly looked into the pond. Sure enough, the old turtle was gone. The dwarf exclaimed, "Junior brother, are you telling the truth?"
“Senior brother, it’s true! He just transformed into human form,” Tang Qianqian said.
"Oh, oh." Wang Erlian said "oh" twice, then exchanged a glance with Chu Xiong and the dwarf. All three of them looked shocked. The old turtle in the pond had actually become a spirit. This was too unbelievable!
Ritian was no stranger to Chu Xiong and his two fellow disciples, and he was also familiar with Chao Bufan. Although Chao Bufan had never moved from the rock before he transformed into human form, Ritian often saw Chu Xiong and the others come here, so they could be considered "old friends." Ritian then bowed to Chu Xiong and the other two, saying, "Disciple Ritian greets the three senior uncles!"
Chu Xiong and the other two immediately realized what was happening and returned the smiles in unison. Chu Xiong said, "No need for formalities."
Everyone gathered in the council hall and chatted casually. Chao Bufan carefully examined Ritian, who was also an eccentric person he couldn't see through. He nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Ritian, can you tell me what skills you possess?"
Ritian respectfully replied, "Master, your disciple has many skills! I can ascend to the heavens and traverse the earth, climb mountains of knives and plunge into seas of fire; I am capable of anything."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Could you be more specific?"
"Master," to be more specific, "this disciple can comprehend changes, understand the timing of the heavens, know the advantages of the land, shift stars and change constellations, comprehend yin and yang, understand human affairs, be good at entering and exiting, avoid death and prolong life, grasp the sun and moon, shrink a thousand mountains, discern good and bad fortune, manipulate the universe, be good at listening to sounds, be able to discern reason, know the past and the future, and understand all things. All the changes of the universe are within the disciple's single thought."
Ritian spoke very sincerely, without a trace of pretense.
Just like what Seventh Master said, Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Ritian, these are all my wives, who are also your master's wives. Can you teach them what you know?"
Ri Tian said, "It is possible, Master. However, all of my skills are innate. It is not realistic to teach them to you one by one, since some of my skills are conflicting."
“That’s simple,” Chao Bufan said. “Just take into account their individual attributes and see which type is suitable for them, then teach them that type.”
“Yes, Master,” Ritian replied.
"Bufan, are you really going to have Ritian teach us the ability to measure the heavens and the earth?" Baihe asked uncertainly.
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "If you don't want to learn, then I'll take back my order!"
"Learn, learn, learn!" everyone said in unison.
Chao Bufan smiled and then said, "Ritian, now go into my inner space and teach them!"
Ritian said, "Yes, Master."
"Senior Brother," Wang Er exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Brother just said that he wanted his younger siblings to cultivate in his inner space. Did I hear that right?"
"Tsk tsk," the dwarf clicked his tongue twice and said, "What kind of extraordinary encounter did Junior Brother have? He can greatly increase our cultivation with just a few gestures, and he even has his own internal space. Internal space, what kind of concept is that?"
Chu Xiong said, "My two junior brothers, our youngest junior brother has finally made something of himself. Our master can rest in peace now."
Witnessing his younger siblings and that arrogant man disappear before his eyes, Chu Xiong and his two companions were shocked again, staring at Chao Bufan as if he were a monster. Chao Bufan glanced at his three senior brothers and said, "Senior brothers, I have killed Bald Eagle and Kuai Zhenliang, the son of the Moon God."
"That scoundrel of the demonic path deserves to die; good riddance."
Chu Xiong and the other two clapped their hands in delight. Wang Er asked, "Junior Brother, what about that wretched woman, Yu Linglong? Did you kill her?"
Chao Bufan shook his head, and Chu Xiong and the others didn't ask any further questions. They knew that their junior brother must have his reasons for not killing her.
"Senior brother, I've sent Tang Gun and the others to inform all the sects. The day after tomorrow at noon, all the major sects in the Central Plains will gather in our Lonely City."
"Junior brother, will they come?" Chu Xiong asked.
