Regarding Elder Li's proposal, Su Xi had actually considered it before.

If she included Shanhe in the palace, not only would she be able to help Elder Li relieve the siege, but judging from Xiaoqin and Sanke's performance just now, the two of them would definitely be grateful to her, which could indeed be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Suhi decided not to take him in. There are three reasons for this:

First, because of his gender, Su Xi usually only accepts female disciples when accepting people, which has been a practice for more than 20 years.

Unless she met a genius-type disciple, she would rarely include a male disciple in the palace, which was well known to everyone present.

It is precisely because of this that as of today, the Spring Palace led by Su Xi has less than a hundred people in total, and the number of disciples is also the smallest among the four palaces.

Second, through Xiaoqin's request for advice from Sanke just now, Su Xi vaguely guessed that Xiaoqin had a good impression of Sanke.

Originally, she did not object to the private affairs of these children, as long as it was an upright love, she would support it.

However, she has a unique expectation for this Qin Xiaodou, who has just been included in the account and intends to cultivate as a closed disciple.

Although Xiaodou is extremely talented, due to his secular background, he has missed more than ten years of cultivation time, and he has already started too late.

Now if you are entangled in some love again, then you want to grow up and the devil knows when.

Therefore, Su Xi's real idea is to hope that Xiaodou can cultivate wholeheartedly, and strive to spend five to ten years to become the leader of their Spring Palace.

When that time comes, she will be free to fall in love with whoever she wants, and she will not interfere.

But now, as an apprentice who has just entered the palace, Xiaodou is still "single", so that he can practice with all his strength without worry.

Therefore, although Su Xi didn't say it, she rejected this man called Sanke in her heart, and didn't want him to come to the Spring Palace to disturb her beloved disciple's cultivation.

Third, it is because of the talent of mountains and rivers.

Due to the fact that there are not many disciples, and there are even fewer people with high cultivation, the Spring Palace has basically ranked first from the bottom in major competitions over the years.

At most, I can win one or two autumn palaces and fight for third, which is already the best result.

Therefore, Su Xi was so "desperate" when he was fighting for Xiaodou just now, just to change his fate and add a bargaining chip to the rise of the Spring Palace.

But now, if she is forced to accept such a drag oil bottle back, she feels very uncomfortable. I always feel that in this way, all the previous efforts have been in vain.

Therefore, after synthesizing these points, Su Xi quickly came to a final conclusion, and replied to Elder Li with a look of embarrassment:

"Alas, Elder Li, it's not that I don't want to help with this matter, but I'm really powerless in this matter. You also know, for more than 20 years, I, Su Xi, have always only accepted women and not men, but if it was a woman, I would accept it without saying a word, but now it is obviously not, how can you let me be good?"

After saying this, I saw Su Xi rushing at the mountain river in the field with an apologetic face:

"Sanke, this palace can see that you are Xiaoqin's friend, and I want to help too. But due to the difference in gender, I really can't help this time, and I hope Xiaoyou won't blame you. ”

These words sounded like they were meant for Shanhe, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was actually what Su Xi said to Qin Xiaodou.

It was for fear that the newly recruited disciple would blame the master, so he deliberately said such high-sounding words to reject Sanke.

Hearing this, of course Shanhe would not have any complaints, and hurriedly shook his head, saying that he would not mind.

But after Yan Sheng, who was sitting on the side, heard this, he suddenly sneered and said:

"Hehe, this excuse for my junior sister...... The level of speaking is also getting higher and higher, Yan admires and admires!"

Hearing Yan Sheng's words with obvious irony, Su Xi's face was slightly red, but he said mercilessly:

"Senior Brother Yan, what is an excuse? Senior Sister has not accepted a male disciple into the palace in the past twenty years, don't you know? This kind of thing, I, Su Xi, will still tell lies?"

"Oh! if you want to say that, it's really not a man!" After nodding slightly, he heard Yan Sheng's voice turn and pouted:

"But the reason why you don't take it is not that you refuse to accept it, but because you didn't take it!

"W-What haven't you robbed? Don't talk nonsense!"

At this moment, Su Xi's face was flushed and full of anger. But Yan Sheng did not stop because of this, but continued to cross Erlang's legs and said:

"I don't have to talk nonsense! I remember this very well. Counting those who came in from the secular world, in the past twenty years, there have been more than ten talented disciples in our Nangong Sect. Three of them were women, and the others were men. Every time I rob someone, I see that junior sister, don't you all come? And every time you do your best. Hehe, it's just a pity that I didn't have good luck and couldn't grab one. So, you said that you don't accept male disciples is fake, and you don't accept male disciples with too poor qualifications, is it true?"

was demolished in front of the lie, Suxi was really angry and hateful!

Her cheeks, which had just turned red, had turned white, and her teeth were rattling from her bite.

If it weren't for the fact that she was at the scene of the introductory conference, she would have already pounced on it and fought with this senior brother Yan who loves to tear down the stage.

But now, she knew she had to endure.

She couldn't do it, and she didn't dare to dwell on this topic anymore, so she hurriedly changed the conversation and pointed at Yan Sheng and asked:

"Hmph, you don't spew blood here! Oh, just say that I don't want to accept a disciple with poor qualifications, so what about you? Why don't you accept this young man with mediocre talents?"

If you want to say that this Yansheng, the reason why he exposed Su Xi's lies on the spot is because he doesn't like to speak in a secretive way, and his temper is straight. So after hearing his junior sister's lies, he was already uncomfortable in his heart.

In addition, when he was competing for Qin Xiaodou just now, he finally lost to Su Xi, and he also accumulated some resentment in his heart, so he took the opportunity to launch a revenge.

And now, hearing Su Xi point the finger at himself, Yan Sheng just smiled indifferently, shrugged his shoulders and replied with an indifferent expression:

"Didn't I say it a long time ago, I don't have any interest in this person at all! Even if it is given to me, there is no place for us in the summer palace, and most of us can't even find a master. Alas, you don't know, the elders of my summer palace are also arrogant now. Hehe, a disciple like this...... I guess no one wants to accept it. If you force it on me, within three days, I will definitely have to return him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
