Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 106: 106. What do you take the Heavenly Sword Sect for?

Fang Zhou kept silent, and the scene fell quiet for a moment.

The big shots are always tolerant of geniuses; had it been an ordinary disciple who was uncooperative, the three True Masters probably wouldn’t have the patience to wait.

True Master Yu Jian thought Fang Zhou was afraid of being punished and dared not speak, so he smiled and said, “Are you worried about pledging to a master before your entry-level trial? Don’t worry, just speak.”

Fang Zhou exclaimed joyfully, “Really?”

True Master Yu Jian showed a gentle and magnanimous expression, “Of course, no matter who your master is, I will not blame you and your master.”

Such precedents are not unheard of; sometimes, an elder would take a disciple outside the sect and then let the disciple participate in the entry-level trial.

Although it’s a pity that they can’t take such a talent as a disciple, as long as he is a part of the Heavenly Sword Sect, that’s fine.

True Masters Xuan Jian and Lei Jian were quite disappointed as well; they didn’t expect someone else to have gotten ahead.

But it didn’t matter. Whichever elder had taken the disciple, such a talent, unless personally taken as a disciple by the Sect Master or the True Masters, couldn’t be taught by just one elder. They, the True Masters, could still intervene for the future of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

If it were just a mediocre or ordinary genius, it certainly wouldn’t be worth doing so, but Fang Zhou’s performance could be described as the finest raw jade in the history of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The True Masters naturally itched to leave their mark on him, which might eventually make them famous for ages.

Fang Zhou did not yet know that these big shots were planning to leave their mark on him; he was about to confess honestly when a gourd wine flask came flying from the distant cloud sea at high speed.

The wine flask flew to the front of Yuxu Palace, came to a sudden halt after drifting sharply, and Ling Xiaoyue, who had been absent for a dozen chapters, was sitting atop it.

The new disciples were all curiously watching her, wondering which big shot of the Heavenly Sword Sect this woman who dared to drift in front of Yuxu Palace was.

Yet the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect all displayed constipated expressions, only True Master Xuan Jian and Yu Qing seemed slightly less bothered.

True Master Yu Jian looked at Ling Xiaoyue with a serious expression, “Ling Xiaoyue, this is a sacred place of our Heavenly Sword Sect, do not create disturbance.”

Ling Xiaoyue glanced at her, puzzled, “Yu Jian, haven’t seen you for half a year and you have such a long face, did your mom die?”

The new disciples were instantly in uproar, True Master Yu Jian being one of the top three figures in the Heavenly Sword Sect, second only to the Sect Master, a tremendously famous figure across Jingnan State and even in Chu Kingdom’s Cultivation World, someone dared to openly curse her mom dead.

Although given True Master Yu Jian’s age, her mom indeed had long passed away.

True Master Yu Jian, who had cultivated for many years, had a mind as solid as a fortress and naturally wouldn’t be provoked into anger by a few taunting words from Ling Xiaoyue. She raised her eyebrows and said sternly, “When have I ever shown you a good face?”

Ling Xiaoyue immediately brought up evidence, “Yes, you did, half a year ago when I was leaving, didn’t you smile like something?”

True Master Yu Jian expressionless, True Master Xuan Jian chuckled on the side; half a year ago they all thought Ling Xiaoyue would never return, of course, they were very happy, little did they know she would come back so soon.

From the moment Ling Xiaoyue appeared, True Master Yu Jian’s gentleness and magnanimity disappeared, displaying a deep-seated grudge, she snorted coldly, “What exactly are you here for? Do not interfere with our sect’s affairs, leave if there’s nothing important.”

Ling Xiaoyue retorted discontentedly, “How can you slander people out of thin air? Who is interfering with you? I’m here to pick up my disciple.”

True Master Yu Jian frowned, “Nonsense, there’s no disciple of yours here…”

Suddenly she considered a possibility, turning sharply to look at Fang Zhou, the other two True Masters did the same.

Fang Zhou was watching the drama unfold and was startled by the sudden looks from the three True Masters.

True Master Yu Jian almost in disbelief asked, “Your master is?”

Fang Zhou, with a hardened scalp, pointed at the wine flask in the air.

He was a little worried and added, “True Master, you just said that no matter who my master is, you wouldn’t blame them.”

True Master Yu Jian, “…”

At this moment, Ling Xiaoyue also leaned down, smiling mischievously, “Disciple, it seems you are quite popular.”

At this moment, the expressions of the people from Heavenly Sword Sect were so spectacular that it was indescribable with words.

The hearts of the three True Masters fluctuated even more than when they saw Fang Zhou activating ten thousand swords. Such a genius was actually someone else’s child? And also the disciple of Ling Xiaoyue, that annoying guy?

Elder Feng Qin felt the world spinning around her, what had she just said in front of someone else’s disciple?

The two True Disciples were even more dumbfounded.

Not to mention the feelings of the three True Masters, they felt as if they had painfully given birth to a child only to find out the child belonged to someone else. Not just getting a green hat, but nearly blacking out.

True Master Yu Jian stared at Ling Xiaoyue, “Your disciple… why has he come to participate in our sect’s entry-level trial?”

Ling Xiaoyue shrugged, “Just hitching a ride, you guys wouldn’t be happy seeing me coming in and out all the time, right?”

True Master Yu Jian suddenly raised her voice, “Hitching a ride? What do you think Heavenly Sword Sect is, huh?”

With this ‘huh’ from True Master Yu Jian, everyone present felt a tremor within themselves, scattering the clouds surrounding Yuxu Palace.

Yet Ling Xiaoyue didn’t care at all, laughed and said, “Of course, I see you as a loving and pleasant neighbor. As a major sect, you wouldn’t be so petty as to quibble with us two, right?”

“You… you shameless…”

True Master Yu Jian pointed at Ling Xiaoyue with trembling fingers, she knew that this rogue coming back would definitely not bring anything good.

And she hadn’t expected the shock to be this big.

Ling Xiaoyue patted the wine gourd, yelling down to Fang Zhou, “Disciple, what are you dazing out for? Come up, are you planning on staying for dinner?”

Fang Zhou also felt the profound resentment from the Heavenly Sword Sect members, remaining on the ground would be dangerous, better to skedaddle.

He bowed apologetically to the three True Masters, then leaped up onto the wine gourd.

Only then did Ling Xiaoyue wave to the three True Masters, “See you later, let’s have tea when you’re free.”

“Wait!”

True Master Xuan Jian, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke to stop Ling Xiaoyue, “Taoist Ling, please stop, there’s a matter to discuss.”

True Master Xuan Jian used the Thousand-Mile Transmission spell, only audible to Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou.

Ling Xiaoyue turned her head, “What’s up?”

She had a good impression of True Master Xuan Jian, the friendliest among the three True Masters.

True Master Xuan Jian glanced at Fang Zhou, smiled and said, “Taoist Ling, are you interested in swapping disciples? If you agree, you can pick any of my disciples, even several if you’d like.”

Fang Zhou was immediately taken aback, is that even possible?

But on second thought, if there were bizarre behaviors like swapping wives, husbands, sons, swapping disciples was not an unreasonable idea.

Ling Xiaoyue patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder, “That’s strange, my disciple is so dull, what’s so good about him that makes you so generous, Xuan Jian?”

“Don’t you know?”

True Master Xuan Jian surprisedly said, “Your disciple is an innate swordsman, extremely compatible with my Xuan Jian lineage. If he could join my sect, his future potential is limitless, becoming the sect master of our sect could be just around the corner.”

True Master Xuan Jian purposely said these words to let Fang Zhou hear, painting him a rosy picture, describing a promising future to entice him.

But she didn’t expect that after hearing this, Fang Zhou was full of question marks.

Meow meow meow?

Born a nasty person?

Why insult me when we have no grudges?
