"Very good. You are not beyond redemption, as you are patient enough to listen to your teacher's teachings. I have already put in a good word for you with the sect leader. Just don't cause any more trouble these next few days!"
The master, seeing his unfamiliar disciple actually smile, which was not at all like the sect leader had said, became even more certain that his disciple missed him. He planned to finish playing in this city and then head back to the sect. He said a few more words to Yu Ling to reassure her and then hung up the call.
The cheap master's name is Su Wang. When he was in the mortal world, he was a young master from a noble family. He loved to travel and enjoy himself. Even after he became a powerful figure in the Nascent Soul stage, he did not change his habit of having fun everywhere.
The reason they initially accepted the original owner as their disciple was because the sect leader was urging them to do so, and because the original owner was a genius with strong self-learning abilities.
But he didn't teach his disciples after taking them in. The original owner had no one to guide him and got to where he is today entirely because of his talent. No wonder he went astray and single-mindedly entered the Path of Ruthlessness.
Perhaps this is a common problem among sword cultivators. Nine out of ten sword cultivators want to walk the path of ruthlessness, as if they always think that by putting all their heart into the sword and becoming a cold-blooded, emotionless block of ice, they will greatly increase their strength. Alas! What a complete fallacy!
For example, Yu Ling, a great demon who acts on a whim, has a rich emotional history, but the sword intent of non-action that she once accumulated over time is enough for her to ascend to immortality through the sword path at the lowest level of the current cultivation world.
Moreover, once he reaches the Upper Realm, where immortals are everywhere, he will not be flustered at all. The upper limit of the world and the original owner's body determine Yu Ling's upper limit; everything else is up to time.
Therefore, the mess caused by the original owner must be put down. When he reaches the level of a Nascent Soul old monster, no matter how cold-blooded or ruthless the original owner was, no one will dare to say anything to him.
Su Wang had the same idea at this time. Even if his good disciple only became a Nascent Soul Elder, it would still shut up most of the cultivators' mouths!
Moreover, his disciple was all smiles at him, a stark contrast to his attitude towards the sect leader and the others, which showed that he missed him. In his disciple's heart, he still held considerable authority.
If Yu Ling knew what this cheap master was thinking, she would probably understand.
He was originally a long-lived demon, and cultivators also had an average lifespan of 1,800 to 1,000 years, the kind where seclusion was measured in years. The original owner's perspective as a disciple and his master's perspective were actually different.
One felt he had barely met the other, while the other felt he had only recently taken on a disciple. This led Su Wang to reach completely opposite conclusions.
However, the fact that Su Wang was going back to the sect could not be kept from the sect leader, but the others did not know!
For example, the protagonist Chu Fan still believes that such a cold-blooded swordsman has actually gone mad and must be punished!
Even his newly made good brothers were already on their way to becoming elders, and when they slapped the faces of other challengers, they were maliciously retaliated against and all of them died.
Chu Fan certainly didn't think it was his fault, nor did he put all the blame on the original owner.
However, he really had no one to discuss things with, and Yu Ling had already brushed him off about the illusion. For the time being, he couldn't come up with any good ideas.
"Should I go and check on Mo Xuanyu again?"
The original owner was indifferent to everyone, so Chu Fan wasn't afraid of being targeted because of what had just happened, and he came to find Yu Ling in a hurry.
The reason he had the nerve to come was simply because Chu Fan's original intention was to seek justice and punish the original owner, not to kill him. He couldn't have foreseen that if this matter really escalated, the original owner would be universally condemned by public opinion, at best beaten to death, at worst severely purged by the sect and ruined in reputation.
Inside Listening Snow Peak, Chu Fan, wearing a smug expression, secretly peeked out. As a protagonist who rose from humble beginnings to achieve success, he didn't really care about his image or style; his behavior was rather... rather casual.
Yu Ling, who pretends to cultivate in a scenic outdoor location but is actually sunbathing and slacking off while simultaneously absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth to build up her foundation, soon discovers the world's protagonist, a dog named Suspicious (not a typo, just very dog-like).
"Elder Chu, if you have something to say, why don't you come out and say it?"
Yu Ling didn't even open her eyes; the aura of such a major protagonist was too obvious.
"Ahem, Peak Master Mo is indeed perceptive."
Chu Fan walked out awkwardly, touching his nose. If he didn't know that this sword cultivator was ignorant of worldly affairs, he would have thought that the sword cultivator was subtly mocking him for his secretive and secretive ways of doing things.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is divided into five peaks: Azure Cloud, Falling Rain, Glowing Clouds, Thunderclap, and Listening to Snow. Each peak master is associated with a particular cultivation technique. Peak masters and elders hold equal status and are mostly experts at the Nascent Soul stage.
In fact, Su Wang was the only peak master of Tingxue Peak, but because he was away from the sect for a long time, the position of peak master fell to the original owner.
In order to balance the popularity of Zhongfeng, the original owner was also forced to take in a free-range Golden Core stage disciple. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he was in a hurry to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Now that Yu Ling has replaced the original owner as the master of Tingxue Peak, he naturally has to put on airs. He opened his eyes with his back straight and his cold, aloof, and unapproachable handsome face.
"What brings you here?" Yu Ling asked softly. Why was the protagonist looking for her instead of cultivating properly? Did he come here to get beaten up?
"Um, I just wanted to ask, the female cultivators from the Hundred Flowers Sect are coming to our sect for an exchange meeting today, why didn't Peak Master Mo go?"
Chu Fan was just making conversation. Everyone in the Hundred Flowers Sect was a music and dance cultivator, not good at close combat. How could a sword cultivator deliberately bully a weakling?
"Master has ordered that it is not advisable to use force in the near future."
Yu Ling had a ready-made reason, and she could also use her master's name to intimidate this idle protagonist.
"Ah, very good. Peak Master Mo is indeed a bit too high-profile," Chu Fan said sourly. Mo Xuanyu is indeed high-profile; everyone knows about the Golden Core sword cultivator's crushing defeat of a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, but no one pays attention to his own outstanding achievements—rising from an outer disciple all the way to an elder.
"Elder Chu, there's something I'm not sure if I should say." Although he didn't know what had gotten into the protagonist that came to him, Yu Ling figured there was no better time than to start now and decided to fulfill his duty as the villain.
"Please feel free to speak."
Chu Fan felt that this person had changed. A few days ago, he couldn't utter a single word in ten sentences, but today he took the initiative to stop him and they even started chatting.
“Xuan Yu knows that Elder Chu has always had some complaints about me because of your friend’s matter, but the way of the sword is to fight against all heroes and disregard life and death. It is normal to make mistakes occasionally.”
Yu Ling played the honest card, aiming to provoke the protagonist and make him angry so that he could find an opportunity to beat him up to vent his anger—no, to help him cultivate!
Upon hearing this, Chu Fan's pupils dilated in shock. Mo Xuanyu had known his purpose all along? Then why did he...?
