Ye Qingyun said, "Junior Brother Xiao, don't be modest. If I had known that Junior Nephew Bai Yao was so talented, I would have taken her in and taught her myself years ago! Moreover, Junior Nephew Bai Yao is so well-behaved and obedient, unlike that brat Lu Yuan, who has never given me a moment's peace."
The chubby boy didn't dare to talk back after his master said that, and since all the elders of the sect were there, the younger generation could only listen obediently.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the others, Xiao Yuhan brought up the topic of the upcoming sect martial arts competition.
"Sect Leader, aren't many fellow cultivators from various immortal sects going to attend this sect martial arts competition? Are the reception arrangements all in order?"
Ye Qingyun looked at Xiao Yuhan with a wry smile, "Junior Brother Xiao, you've finally taken this to heart this time. But I arranged this matter a month ago. As a dignified elder of discipline, can't you help your senior brother with some sect affairs instead of just drinking tea and fishing all day?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan smiled awkwardly, thinking that he had indeed not been involved in sect affairs for a long time. He had been training before, and was also lazy, so it wasn't that the sect was not busy, but that his senior brother, the sect leader, was just indulging him.
When Xiao Yuhan's laziness was mentioned, Liu Jiantang and Shen Huairu looked at him with a mixture of helplessness and mockery in their eyes. It seemed that they had been dissatisfied with Xiao Yuhan's inaction in the past.
The fellow disciples were chatting and joking when their junior sister, Nangong Ling'er, suddenly arrived, accompanied by a little girl. "You're all here, senior brothers and sisters! Perfect timing, I've come to register my disciple!"
"Disciple?!" Everyone turned to look at the young girl in green standing beside the junior sister. Her attire was similar to the junior sister's, and she seemed rather reserved, hiding behind her as if she were a little shy. She timidly said, "My name is Chen Yanxue. Greetings to all my senior uncles, aunts, and senior brothers and sisters..."
This girl doesn't look very old, but she's definitely older than Bai Yao. Most cultivators' appearance and physique are fixed around the age of twenty. It's not that they'll look the same until they die; the aging process is slowed down according to their lifespan. So this girl has the appearance of a twenty-year-old, but no one can say for sure how old she is.
However, Xiao Yuhan noticed the cunning hidden in the girl's eyes, which didn't seem to suggest that she was as timid as she appeared.
Everyone was very curious as to why the junior sister suddenly had an extra disciple.
Junior Sister Nangong Ling'er spoke up, "I met this girl when I went down the mountain before. I thought she was pretty good, so I casually taught her a couple of moves. I didn't expect her to come to my door today. Anyway, I haven't taken on any disciples, so I'll keep her under my wing."
In fact, the Heavenly Sword Sect has always been very strict about accepting disciples. Their backgrounds and other details must be thoroughly investigated. However, elders are not so particular about accepting personal disciples; as long as the elder vouches for them, it is fine.
So none of the others said much, but Xiao Yuhan was still careful and found an opportunity to see his junior sister alone after leaving.
Junior Sister looks much better today, it seems she's really alright. As soon as Xiao Yuhan arrived, she expressed her worries.
Unexpectedly, the junior sister immediately said, "Senior brother, I'm not a child. Besides, haven't you heard of the name Chen Yanxue before?"
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "I don't remember much."
The junior sister said softly, "The four young masters of the Demonic Sect, the romantic and poetic, the Snow Prince Chen Yanxue."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan frowned even more deeply. "So it was her... Junior Sister, what were you thinking? You dare to take someone from the Demonic Sect as your disciple?"
Nangong Ling'er smiled slightly, "Senior brother, this girl is different. Although she is in the Demonic Sect, she is kind-hearted and is now willing to reform. I am also willing to give her a chance. Moreover, the Demonic Sect can no longer cause any trouble. The important thing is that she really has a talent for medicine. It is easy to find a good master, but it is not easy to find a good disciple. If you are still worried about anything, then let me have Yao'er as my disciple. I find Yao'er quite pleasing to the eye."
Without even thinking, Xiao Yuhan refused, "That won't do!"
"That settles it! I haven't found a satisfactory apprentice yet. This girl has a good character and isn't bad. I'll gradually correct her bad habits!" Nangong Ling'er said confidently.
Xiao Yuhan didn't say anything more, after all, his junior sister wasn't someone who was easily fooled. "Then you should be careful. If anything happens, tell your senior brother. I'll help you if I can."
Nangong Ling'er smiled and said, "I know! Good senior brother~ Hurry back! I'm going to mess with that little girl! Hehehe..."
