He glanced at Qi Tian, "I'll take these two to undergo some modifications."
Without waiting for the brothers' consent or Qi Tian's obvious reluctance, he handed them over to Ye Chen.
"Train these two well. They are core disciples of the Qi Sect and Qi Tian's junior brothers," Lin Xiao specifically instructed Ye Chen.
"Understood, Brother Xiao!" Ye Chen immediately perked up. Core disciples of the Qi Sect held significant status; they needed to be taken care of.
"Not just training, but also use this opportunity to give them some ideological and moral education. If they continue on their current path, they will end up like Qi Tian, going astray." This latter point was the crucial one.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on the two. Under the immense pressure, they dared not utter a word. They could sense from Lin Xiao's aura that if they dared to say "no," Lin Xiao might take them aside for a private session.
This was not a good prospect.
More importantly, this was not the Qi Sect.
Before they left, the Transmission Elder had specifically emphasized that they must not provoke anyone here, stating that this place was even more terrifying and strict than the Qi Sect.
Though it felt like the Elder was exaggerating.
However, Lin Xiao's appearance had sent shivers down the spines of these two brothers.
What terrified them the most was that their senior disciple, such a proud and untamed individual, displayed an unexpectedly good attitude when facing Lin Xiao.
At least, in their memories, they had never seen their senior disciple treat anyone with such deference, not even their master...
Well, the master didn't count.
In their memory, whenever the master spoke to their senior disciple, he would directly seal the senior disciple's mouth.
"Ideological and moral education?" Ye Chen was somewhat stumped. There were no such textbooks in their Northern Frontier. He would need some time to find them.
"Alright, these two brothers are yours now... By the way, if they misbehave, deal with them as you see fit. It's alright to train them harshly; I've heard Qi Sect disciples have good physiques," Lin Xiao said, preparing to leave.
"Who said... " Liao Yunxi was about to retort, but his words were choked back by a look from Lin Xiao. They were truly delicate flowers; where was their good physique?
"Is there anything else you wish to say?" Lin Xiao's gaze swept over the two brothers.
At this, the two brothers simultaneously shook their heads.
Who dared to object?
"Very well, rest well tonight. Training will commence tomorrow morning."
After Lin Xiao left, Ye Chen beckoned and found a small captain to lead the two brothers away.
"By the way, you two, I don't know how you offended Brother Xiao, but rest assured, I, Ye Chen, will meticulously follow Brother Xiao's requirements and ensure you both develop comprehensively in terms of virtue, intellect, physique, aesthetics, and labor, becoming exemplary youths of the new era." Ye Chen patted them on the shoulders. "You are still young, with plenty of potential!"
"Furthermore, you don't need to worry about the training being too harsh and ruining your foundation. Rest assured, all our training methods have been improved by Brother Xiao. And with Brother Xiao here, even if your dantian were crippled, you two could be healed perfectly."
