"Stop being dazed. Do you two have any questions? Or is there anything you haven't finished taking care of?"

Diefang suppressed the slight resentment in her heart.

“Master, I want to... go to the Shaking Mountain Sect to settle things.”

Diefang was certain that her master was not from the Hanshan Sect, because when he saved them, he directly crippled the cultivation of those people, including the sect leader's son.

With such a handsome master, of course she would follow him. She didn't have much affection for the people of the Shaking Mountain Sect to begin with.

Even if her master used her to raise Gu poison, she would be willing, because she was a sucker for good looks.

Similarly, Wenxin is an even more extreme case of being a sucker for good looks.

Well, she wanted to settle things once and for all. Now that she already had a fairy descending from the heavens as her master, she naturally wanted to settle things with them.

At this moment, Wenxin asked timidly, "Master, which sect do you belong to?"

Wenxin's mind wasn't working properly. She also wanted to tell her family that she wanted to switch sects and stop letting that sect leech off her.

Haotian quite likes these two kids, though sometimes they seem a bit silly.

"Your master has only a dog and no other family. I'm kind of a... rogue cultivator."

Yes... Xiao Hei is a dragon, but he's quite a dog.

I don't know if it's because we're from the same hometown, or because I'm exploited by him and have a lowly status, but this dog has a suave and roguish air about him.

He says it's a dog, and that's absolutely true.

Upon hearing Haotian's answer, both Diefang and Wenxin suddenly had an idea.

A fairy who lived alone in a remote corner of the world accidentally descended to the mortal realm, took a liking to the two girls, and took them as her disciples...

Oh, I forgot, Master is a man... a fairy-like man! Hmm!

Wenxin then asked timidly, "Then, Master, can we go home and let our families know?"

Haotian nodded slowly.

He was a little puzzled. He hadn't been harsh with his apprentice, so why did he seem so afraid of him?

It seems he wants to train his apprentices in a more gentle manner.

"Yes, your master is quite easy to get along with, there's no need to be suspicious or afraid too much."

Upon hearing this, Wenxin's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had been waiting for these words.

She took two steps and then one, lunging forward and tightly embracing Haotian's slender waist with both hands.

Feeling the warmth in her arms, she smiled with relief.

Haotian felt that the hug was a bit abrupt, but also a bit reasonable. What was going on?

There was even a feeling of being deceived by Wenxin's innocent naiveté.

Diefang witnessed Wenxin's behavior.

It's hard!

The fist has hardened!

I'm clearly the eldest disciple! I should be the first one to hug my master!

But she held back; she couldn't hug him now.

Wenxin was so dirty when she hugged Shizun, and she even got Shizun's clothes dirty!

She wanted to hug him too, but she was a little dirty, so she decided against it.

Haotian didn't care whether Wenxin's clothes were dirty or not, since his clothes were protected by a little magic and couldn't possibly get dirty.

Haotian saw the look of longing in his eldest disciple's eyes...

Little girls all like to hug people, that's normal. I'll let Diefang hug me more often when she wants to later.

Wenxin felt her arms encircling the slender waist.

There was only one thought in my mind.

The master can be either male or female!
