CHAPTER 128: CHAPTER 128: WHEN YOU BECOME THE GRANDMASTER

"Shu Dao Mountain, Shu Dao Temple, take the young lady and this little friend outside for a walk." Qin Xiang turned and looked at Shu Dao Mountain and Shu Dao Temple, spoke with a slight smile.

The two simpletons quickly nodded and took the two little children away from the main hall.

After the main hall was left with only Su Yu, Qin Xiang, Lu Zechuan, and Xia Mian, Su Yu’s gaze towards Lu Zechuan suddenly sharpened, "What’s your intention following our Grand Ancestor?"

Lu Zechuan raised an eyebrow slightly, what, does he not look like a good person?

"To become your Grandmaster!" Lu Zechuan glanced lightly at Su Yu, his thin lips moved slightly, and what he said was shockingly blunt.

Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Zechuan with surprise.

If she remembered correctly, their Grand Ancestor has a temper, though many men have tried to get close to their Grand Ancestor before, they were all smashed by her!

Why is their Grand Ancestor still smiling at this outrageous nonsense now?

"You are audacious!" Su Yu’s face darkened, his gaze at Lu Zechuan growing increasingly displeased, "Want to become our Grandmaster, do you even know your status?"

Lu Zechuan raised an eyebrow, speaking indifferently, "What’s my status?"

Su Yu squinted his eyes, his guarded demeanor almost tangible, "You are the remnant of the Wood Clan!"

Wood Clan?

Upon hearing the name again, Lu Zechuan remained rather calm.

"History is written by the victors, whether I am a remnant or not depends on the whims of those winners." Lu Zechuan’s eyes softly shifted, his expression composed.

Su Yu proactively discussing his origins and identity was much more convenient than him having to ask.

"If you truly want what’s best for our Grand Ancestor, I hope you can stay away from her." Su Yu’s expression turned solemn, "Your survival might have exhausted your family’s luck. We don’t want you to drag our Grand Ancestor down while being hunted!"

Lu Zechuan curled the corner of his lips slightly, "This is a matter between the two of us, no need for you to meddle."

After a pause, Lu Zechuan casually added, "I am going to be your Grandmaster in the future, I hope you treat me with respect."

Su Yu was livid at Lu Zechuan’s attitude, especially when Xia Mian was standing beside Lu Zechuan, smiling affectionately at him...

Su Yu felt a pang of heartache; could this Grand Ancestor be a fraud before him?

The Grand Ancestor, who once knew only cultivation and not love, how could she possibly regard a man differently?

Even if this man was a tad more handsome than him, would the Grand Ancestor lose her dignity over this?

"Su Yu, let the matter of your Grandmaster rest for now." Xia Mian considered for a moment before speaking slowly, "Do you know about the Divine Clan?"

"Divine Clan?" Su Yu was taken aback, "The Divine Clan isn’t in the same place as us!"

Xia Mian gently furrowed her brows, "Hmm?"

"The Divine Clan has profound heritage and many talents within. They have carved out their own realm; outsiders cannot find their lair." Su Yu found it odd that Xia Mian asked such a simple question but figured this memory lapse occurs when the Grand Ancestor occasionally returns from her training, so he didn’t dwell on it.

Xia Mian pressed her lips together and was silent for a moment before adding, "Then, do you know much about the previous Young Master of the Divine Clan?"

Su Yu’s eyes flashed with confusion, and he glanced at Xia Mian with a complex expression, "Grand Ancestor, haven’t you chosen a Grandmaster already? Why eye another while eating from the bowl?"

What’s up with the Grand Ancestor?

She either shows no interest in men or wants them all?

Xia Mian glanced at Su Yu, unable to express her complex emotions, "Fantasy is a disease, and it needs curing."

Su Yu blinked, his pure and silly gaze, "What is fantasy?"

Xia Mian rolled her eyes helplessly; these folks, only knowing cultivation, had isolated themselves from the normal world and had practiced themselves into silliness!

"Have more walnuts, it’ll boost your brain." Xia Mian gave Su Yu a disdainful look, stepped forward, and began to examine the main hall.

For some reason, perhaps an illusion, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with this place.

"Grand Ancestor, you’ve traveled a long way, I’ll arrange a place for you to rest?" Qin Xiang spoke up.

Although Xia Mian’s appearance had a strange vibe this time, the face was undeniably the Grand Ancestor’s, and the deeper kung fu one practices, the younger they appear, so it wasn’t an issue to look quite young.

"Hmm, alright." Xia Mian nodded lightly.

Qin Xiang led the way; Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan followed behind.

In front of a somewhat sparse house, Qin Xiang stopped, "Grand Ancestor, this was your meditation room before. While you were away, it was constantly cleaned, despite the Hundred Families’ provocations, not a brick fell from your meditation room..."

Xia Mian’s mouth twitched slightly; her two disciples seemed to relish laying into her every now and then?

"Grand Ancestor, rest well! I’ll get someone to prepare some meals for you." Qin Xiang spoke and turned to leave.

Xia Mian glanced at Lu Zechuan, holding back the comment, "Don’t you arrange something for your Grandmaster?"

These two disciples had previously given Lu Zechuan a hard time, yet now they arranged their accommodations together?

Has Yukun Mountain run out of rooms?

"Mianmian, in this unfamiliar place, being together is safer." Lu Zechuan murmured softly in her ear, "I’m not much use, you must protect me!"

The low, winding sound of Lu Zechuan’s voice in Xia Mian’s ear made her ears tingle and heart race.

If it weren’t for witnessing the burgeoning vines at Lu Zechuan’s mere gesture, she might have really thought him a weak and fragile handsome man in need of protection.

But now, ha ha... Lu Zechuan certainly has his own means of self-preservation, right?

"You’re right, safer together." Xia Mian said, opened the door, and entered the room.

Lu Zechuan followed tight behind, not daring a pause.

After entering, Xia Mian closed the door behind them, checked the room to ensure no eavesdropping magic was set, then slowly sat back in the chair.

Lu Zechuan sat beside Xia Mian, his expression rather serious, "Mianmian, how long are we staying here?"

Xia Mian pressed her lips together, "We’ll see."

Lu Zechuan lowered his eyes slightly, pondering, "If people outside can’t reach us, won’t they think we’ve gone missing?"

After all, since entering this world, their phones lost signal, cutting off contact with the outside.
