Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 417: Chapter 436: Chu Yuan Watching the Drama

Xianzui Inn, third floor.

The shopkeeper’s voice echoed in the slightly deserted third floor.

“Ten days ago, a mysterious visitor descended upon Zhongzhou, and as soon as they arrived, they stirred up chaos, eventually unifying all the empires of the Mortal Realm. With the Mortal Realm as a foundation, they established a Holy Land.”

“Unexpectedly, all the Holy Lands of Zhongzhou expressed no objections. Rumors suggest that the mysterious visitor is likely the secret child of a Hidden Sect Master from Zhongzhou!”

“Moreover, Medical Valley faced an invasion from the outside half a month ago and sealed its entrance. To this day, it remains closed. Some speculate that it might have fallen, especially since there has been no activity for over a half month.”

“Sect Master, these are the two most significant pieces of news…”

The shopkeeper recited slowly.

After reading, he put down the paper in his hand and looked up at Chu Yuan.

“A secret child of a Zhongzhou Hidden Sect’s Sect Master causing trouble?”

Chu Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

He looked just like one of the onlookers enjoying the spectacle.

“Yes, Sect Master, that’s what the rumors say. However, the guess about the Sect Master’s secret child does have some grounds for speculation.”

“The way those Holy Lands in Zhongzhou made no attempts to resist the emergence of a new Holy Land clearly indicates the strong background of this mysterious person—it’s very likely they are a secret child from a Zhongzhou Hidden Sect!”

The shopkeeper also shared his point of view.

A glimmer shone in his eyes too.

A secret child of a Zhongzhou Hidden Sect Master…

This story sure is juicy.

Even the Sect Master of a Zhongzhou Hidden Sect has a secret child.

Just makes one wonder if their own Sect Master has one too…

The shopkeeper peered cautiously at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan hadn’t noticed the shopkeeper’s odd glance.

He was savoring the gossip himself.

If a secret child of a Zhongzhou Hidden Sect Master could be so domineering,

why hadn’t anyone from an East State Hidden Sect gone wild?

If someone from an East State Hidden Sect were to emerge, Chu Yuan could trace the story back to the root, find the East State Hidden Sect headquarters, and eliminate them!

Chu Yuan still hadn’t forgotten his plan to take down the Eastern State’s Wu Dao Sect—to become the ‘true’ East State Hidden Sect.

He still treated it as a top priority.

Only, he just hadn’t had the chance.

Chu Yuan sighed to himself,

“Are these the two biggest pieces of news then?”

Chu Yuan raised his head to look at the shopkeeper and asked.

“Yes, but Sect Master, there are also other minor pieces of news. Would you like to read them, or should I read them to you?”

The shopkeeper spoke softly.

“Just give them to me to read.”

Chu Yuan said casually.

“Alright, Sect Master.”

The shopkeeper promptly handed the papers to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan took them and glanced over.

They contained some other minor, less important pieces of news.

It would be better to call it gossip than news.

Anyway, Chu Yuan read them with great interest.

Who would complain about too much gossip?

After Chu Yuan finished reading everything, he put the papers down contentedly.

He intended to return them to the shopkeeper.

But a glimpse of the topmost news item stopped him in his tracks.

Chu Yuan looked down at the message at the top of the paper.

The shopkeeper had already read it—it was concerning the establishment of the Holy Land by that mysterious visitor from Zhongzhou.

What captivated Chu Yuan was a small segment of speculative text below it.

It appeared to be someone’s speculation within the article.

The speculation went like this.

This mysterious visitor from Zhongzhou could very well not be an illegitimate child of a Zhongzhou Hidden Sect Leader but a disciple of the Eastern State’s Wayless Sect.

It is precisely because the Wayless Sect’s background is so formidable that those holy lands in Zhongzhou acquiesced to the actions of this mysterious visitor.

When Chu Yuan saw this message, he almost laughed out loud.

Everything is being attributed to his Wayless Sect?

That’s really something.

It’s true that his disciples are formidable, but they surely aren’t to this extent, are they?

Establishing a holy land, that’s a Holy Land we’re talking about.

As far as Chu Yuan knew, a Holy Land is the pinnacle within a state.

He indeed sent disciples out, but his disciples simply couldn’t possibly establish a Holy Land.

If his disciples could establish a Holy Land, then he, someone named Chu, could write his name backward!

What a bunch of parrots they are.

Chu Yuan looked at the speculations on the paper, shook his head with a laugh, handed the paper back to the shopkeeper, and then rose to leave.

He needed to prepare for the advancement of his realm.

The Sect’s assessment was only a few days away.

The first step on his Invincible path was about to be taken.

He had to make proper preparations.

The shopkeeper accepted the paper and respectfully saw Chu Yuan off.

After watching Chu Yuan leave completely,

the shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he sent someone to call his son over.

Soon after,

his son, Xu Lei, came over.

“Dad, what do you need me for?”

Xu Lei came over while eating a piece of fruit, asking in a carefree manner.

“Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you ever do every day…”

Upon seeing Xu Lei’s nonchalant demeanor, the shopkeeper became so angry that he slapped him right then and there.

“What the—Dad, what’s with the violence all of a sudden?”

Xu Lei quickly dodged, his eyes wide with confusion.

“I told you to take the opportunity while I was gone to get close to the Sect Master, and just where have you gotten with that?”

“Do you have any idea how fortuitous it is to be by the Sect Master’s side? Not to mention if he took you as his disciple, even a slight hint from him would be beneficial for life! And you, you ungrateful brat, you let it go in one ear and out the other!”

The shopkeeper was the epitome of being disappointed beyond measure.

“This… this, it’s not like I can do anything about it. I can’t even sit still next to Sect Master Chu, let alone speak. It’s already good if I don’t wet myself out of fear,”

Xu Lei muttered quietly.

This wasn’t because Chu Yuan was intimidating, but rather, Xu Lei felt such immense psychological pressure due to Chu Yuan’s reputation.

As a result, Xu Lei simply couldn’t bring himself to even fart in front of Chu Yuan, not to even fantasize about asking for advice.

“Unsteady seating, my foot, you’re just slacking off!”

The shopkeeper made as if to hit Xu Lei again.

This scared Xu Lei into somersaulting toward the staircase, ready to flee if things went south.

Knowing he couldn’t catch the boy, the shopkeeper stood his ground, glaring at Xu Lei.

“I’m telling you, old man, stop with the hitting all the time. Can’t you learn from my mom? She never hits me and is super nice to me,”

Xu Lei said, relieved, and stood his ground.

“Hmph, you think your mother never hit you? Before you were old enough to remember, you’d been smacked twice already!”

The shopkeeper huffed coldly and spoke out.

“Impossible, I’ve been able to remember everything since I was born, an unrivaled genius, my mom has never hit me!”

Xu Lei was adamant in his disbelief.

“Right, she hasn’t hit you after you were born,”

The shopkeeper gave Xu Lei a cold glance, then turned to start tidying up, ready to leave.

Xu Lei: “?”

What does that mean?
