CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 177: TAKING A MASTER

Xuan Wuji pondered in the dark, isn’t he from the Yun Family? The Yun Family is a Martial Artist Family, so how did they manage to subdue such a formidable Holy Beast Summoner.

It is known that even in a place like Dihong City, there are only two Holy Beast Summoners beneath the City Lord.

That kid Yuan Bupo is certainly not going to help them.

Yun Canglang has also recovered his strength, and with the addition of a Holy Beast Summoner and a Commander-level Demon Beast, the opponent’s strength is by no means inferior to theirs.

"Meimei, let’s drop the matter for today," Xuan Wuji ultimately still had some brains, he did not want to take risks.

Xuan Meimei was full of reluctance, but she could also see that the power behind Yun Sheng was not small, and the siblings resentfully boarded the Chongming Bird and left together.

After both of them left, Yuan Bupo also obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

He really did not know, if the sibling pair from the Xuan Family really had a conflict with the nephew and uncle pair from the Yun Family, which side he should support.

Although he disliked Yun Canglang, but his own nephew...

Yuan Bupo thought in his heart, and suddenly felt an intense glare directed at himself.

"Do you even know what shame is, how could you keep holding our master’s hand!" Turns out Huang Que woke up and, upon opening her eyes, saw the flutist man holding her master’s hand.

Immediately she acted like a mother hen protecting her chick, snatching Yun Sheng back.

Only then did Yuan Bupo cough a few times, with a rare hint of embarrassment on his face, "That... thank you just now."

"No need for thanks, it was a mere trifle. But I have a question for you, was what Xuan Wuji said earlier true? Yuan Shahu, also known as your sister, she has not married Xuan Wuji, so where is she now?" As Yun Sheng spoke, Yun Canglang’s face changed.

"Sheng’er!"

Yun Sheng was bemused. He looked at his second uncle and saw that he did not have the slightest intention of asking questions.

"Hmph, why do you ask this? Even if my sister hasn’t married Xuan Wuji, she would never marry your uncle. He’s not worthy of my sister," Yuan Bupo heard his own sister’s name, and then thought about the miserable state she’s in now, unable to return to Emperor Hong City and being confined at home in her middle ages, his heart was even more frustrated.

He glanced at Yun Sheng and then left with a twist of his body.

Yun Canglang was also displeased, turned around and left, leaving behind Yun Sheng, Huang Que, and a confused Zong Ren.

"Sigh, let’s go back to town first. It might take quite some time for these two to untangle their knots of the heart,"

"Hold on, was what Yuan Bupo said earlier true?"

Yun Sheng also understood that there were some things she could not resolve by herself.

However, the situation earlier did let her discern some clues.

Her second uncle may have been blinded by hatred, failing to notice various hints.

Yet Yun Sheng could see that Yuan Bupo held a deep grudge against Yun Canglang. If Yuan Shahu really had betrayed Yun Canglang back then, he wouldn’t have behaved this way.

There must be some misunderstanding here.

However, Yuan Bupo’s presence on the borderlands meant that Yuan Shahu might also be in the vicinity.

Yun Sheng planned to solve the incident at the Purple Gold Mine site and then try to find the whereabouts of the Yuan siblings, to unravel the knot that tangled her second uncle and her future aunt.

"Master, when I was trailing them earlier, I discovered something," Zong Ren was chasing northward when he accidentally passed through an abandoned village.

"Oh? What did you find?"

"That village seems to have been abandoned not long ago. The situation there is just like the one we encountered earlier in that kid named Liu Zi’s village. There were some of Great Zhou’s garrison guarding the entrance, and I took the chance to stroll around the village while they weren’t paying attention. I discovered the presence of demon beasts," Zong Ren, the Summoner, is particularly sensitive to the presence of demon beasts.

"The presence of demon beasts? Are you sure?" Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng immediately felt that something was off.

Although the borderlands of Great Zhou are where the three kingdoms meet, it’s hard to find demon beasts nearby because of the civilian settlements, not to mention groups of demon beasts entering the villages where the common people live.

"Yes, and after looking at the traces in that area, I found something. There were no demon beast footprints outside the village, but inside, there were some," Zong Ren narrowed his eyes.

He and Yun Sheng looked at each other.

Almost simultaneously, they both turned their gaze to the Bat King perched nearby.

Anyone with experience in the rearing of flying magical beasts would know that these were the traces left by them.

This means that the group of vile bandits who wreaked havoc in the village and then left without a trace could very likely have come riding on flying magical beasts.

"No time to delay; let’s head back to town first," Yun Sheng and Zong Ren returned to the town together.

Yun Canglang had already returned to town; as soon as Yun Sheng entered the door, he saw the young man named Liu Zi kneeling in front of Yun Canglang, refusing to get up.

Just as Yun Sheng had expected, the young man named Liu Zi woke up around evening.

However, after waking up, he remained silent no matter what Zhou Quan and the others asked, he would not speak.

It was only after Yun Canglang came back that Liu Zi saw him, and without saying a word, climbed down from the bed, and knocked his head to the floor several times in front of him.

"Get up first, why would you kneel before me for no reason? Remember, a man’s knees are golden; kneel only to heaven, earth, and your parents," Yun Canglang hurried to help him up when he saw this.

"No, sir, please I beg you to receive Liu Zi’s bow. I beg you, please take me as your disciple," Liu Zi’s face was full of earnestness.

"Good lad, you have a good eye," Yun Sheng couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

Out of everyone, he didn’t choose anyone else but singled out Yun Canglang.

In fact, among all present, only Yun Canglang met Liu Zi’s criteria.

As a Martial Artist and a head of Martial Arts Sect, he commands respect throughout all of Great Zhou.

Yun Canglang looked at Liu Zi on the ground with a complicated gaze.

Being a head of Martial Arts Sect, according to Wuji Continent’s rules, reaching the level of a Martial Arts Sect means one has the qualifications to open a Martial Arts Hall and take on disciples.

In his early years, he was a General, naturally unable to accept disciples. But now that he is retired and middle-aged, seeking a suitable disciple to pass on his mantle is only reasonable.

But this young man before him...

Yun Canglang’s perception was certainly no less sharp than Yun Sheng’s; he could see at a glance that the young man had rather mediocre talent, and to accept such a person as his Senior Disciple was not the best choice.

Perhaps noticing Yun Canglang’s hesitation, the young man guessed his thoughts and "bang bang bang" knocked his head on the ground several more times. The sound was so loud, his effort so great, that his forehead immediately showed a trail of blood.

He forcefully said: "Liu Zi knows his own talent is not good, and that he’s a simple person, but Liu Zi is diligent. As long as sir is willing to take Liu Zi, I am willing to persevere through sleeplessness for 24 hours a day and diligently practice, not tarnishing sir’s reputation."

He didn’t know Yun Canglang’s status, but simply relying on a young man’s intuition, he believed Yun Canglang to be the most suitable person to be his master.

He bore the command of his deceased parents and the life and death of the entire village; no matter how hard or exhausting, he was willing to bear it.
