Ch213 - Declaration of Identity

Edited by Zaki

The wedding of the Third Elder was very grand. All the Elders in the sect came to congratulate the couple. Even the Elders who were in seclusion sent their disciples or children to send gifts and extend their congratulations. As the most outstanding eighth-level alchemist in the sect, the Third Elder Jiang Yuantu’s status in the sect was no less than that of a Supreme Elder. Moreover, the bride was also the righteous Daughter of the Sect Master, so everyone in the sect wanted to take this opportunity to please the Third Elder. Therefore, on the day of the big wedding, Jiang Yuantu was really reluctant to receive gifts.

Even though many people knew that Jiang Yuantu and Shen Xin have a Master-disciple relationship as well as an ambiguous relationship in private, they only dared to talk behind the scenes. In front of people, no one would speak stupidly and offend the Third Elder.

On the day of the big wedding, Xuanyuan Chen was very happy and came to Pill Peak in person to officiate his Daughter’s marriage. On this day, Jiang Xu also met his Senior Brother, Xuanyuan Chen’s Eldest disciple, Bai Yunfei. Bai Yunfei was an orphan, he was a few years older than Shen Xin, and was also a child who had been raised by Xuanyuan Chen since childhood. Therefore, he had deep feelings for his Master. Moreover, Bai Yunfei’s identity was the Young Master of the sect, and was also recognized by all as the heir to the Sect Master. His status was very high.

In comparison, Jiang Xu had no identity. When he worshipped his Master for apprenticeship, only the Third Elder knew, and many people in the sect did not know that he was now Xuanyuan Chen’s apprentice. Xuanyuan Chen also had never announced it in public. Even so, Bai Yunfei knew of his identity, and during the banquet, he deliberately came to Jiang Xu’s side and sat with him.

“Little Junior Brother, I’m Bai Yunfei.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Bai Yunfei sat and introduced himself with a smile.

“Oh, I know, I’ve seen your portrait.” Seeing Bai Yunfei, who was watched by millions of people, and then thinking about himself, Jiang Xu was a bit lost. In fact, he didn’t care about how other people see him, but he cared about his Master’s attitude. He didn’t understand why the Master didn’t tell others that he was his apprentice? Was it because his strength was too low? Or was it because he was from a lower continent and would disgrace him? Thinking about these, Jiang Xu suddenly felt that the normally amiable Master did not seem to be as good to him as he thought.

“What’s wrong? Today is Senior Uncle Jiang’s big wedding day, are you not happy?” Looking at the listless Jiang Xu, Bai Yunfei asked with a smile.

“No, how could it be? Senior Uncle and Senior Sister love each other and they are getting married.” To be honest, Jiang Xu was very happy for them. Hearing from Mufeng, the two had been in love with each other for more than 700 years. After falling in love for so many years and finally becoming a couple, this was a big happy event worthy of celebration.

“En.” Nodding, Bai Yunfei still felt that his Junior Brother’s mood was not quite right.

“XiaoXu, eat something.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile and put some vegetables into his lover’s bowl.

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu started eating.

“I heard that Junior Brother Liu’s alchemy skills are very good, and an upcoming talent in the Pill Peak. It is a fate to meet you today, and you are really as rumoured.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Bai Yunfei said with a smile.

“Young master is over-praising, I’m just an ordinary fourth-level alchemist.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said modestly.

“Yunfei,XiaoXu, you two come here.” Looking at his two apprentices, Xuanyuan Chen called out.

“En, today is your Senior Sister’s wedding day. You go to the bar to honor the other Elders. Yunfei, take your Junior Brother over there and take care of him.” After speaking, Xuanyuan Chen glanced at his Eldest disciple, Bai Yunfei.

Seeing Jiang Xu happily going to toast, Xuanyuan Chen sighed helplessly. He inwardly thought:This stinky boy, his face goes crooked when he is not happy. I really don’t know if I owed him in a previous life.

When it was the night of the wedding in the bridal chamber, looking at the apprehensive Shen Xin sitting on the wedding bed, Jiang Yuantu was puzzled. “What’s wrong Xin’er, are you not feeling well?” He felt that Xin’er had been out of sorts today.

“No, no.” Shaking her head, Shen Xin replied awkwardly.

“You and I are already married. What is there in your heart that you can’t talk to your husband about?” Looking at Shen Xin, Jiang Yuantu asked suspiciously.

“I’m sorry, Master, I didn’t expect my foster Father to be so tough and make you marry me.” Looking at the person beside her, Shen Xin said guiltily.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuantu shook his head. “Shen Xin, I was hesitant before, not because I didn’t want to marry you, but because I was always worried. I was worried that you were too young and would despise me for being an old man in the long run. I was worried that I would cause a bad reputation for you and cause you to be criticized. I’m also worried that you don’t want to marry me. I’m worried that you will leave me. I always have all kinds of worries. But when I heard Xuanyuan say that he would marry you off to Huangfu Yu, I suddenly felt those worries were superfluous. Really, without you, everything is superfluous. I didn’t blame you, I didn’t blame Xuanyuan, I know, Xuanyuan was forcing us for our good.” Looking at Shen Xin, Jiang Yuantu said so.

“Master, I will not leave you. I will definitely love you well, love you well.” Throwing herself into Jiang Yuantu’s arms, Shen Xin whimpered and cried.

“Silly girl.” Jiang Yuantu smiled as he embraced the lover in his arms.

In Liu Mufeng’s small courtyard.

Looking at the smiling wife in his arms, Liu Mufeng leaned over and kissed his beloved’s forehead. “Your Master has publicly announced that you are his disciple. Are you happy now?”

“En, he should have said it long ago. Damn old man.” Jiang Xu complained a little when he said this.

“He probably wanted to say it at Master’s wedding to give you a surprise.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“It doesn’t feel like a surprise at all. It’s been more than a month since we left the secret realm, and only now he just announced about my apprenticeship. I told him a long time ago that I wouldn’t steal the Young Master’s seat from Bai Yunfei, and that I wasn’t interested in being the Sect’s Young Master, but he still didn’t tell others about me. Just a dead old man!” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu was still very upset.

“Okay, stop complaining, your Master is living in the west courtyard. You are not afraid of being heard by him?” Liu Mufeng said helplessly, looking at his wife.

“Hmph, I’m not afraid!”

“Damn stinky boy, what are you making a fuss about, complaining about me behind my back?” Xuanyuan Chen appeared in front of the two using his real face.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen, Liu Mufeng immediately let go of Jiang Xu who was in his arms and stood up from the chair. “Sect Master.”

“It’s late at night, what are you doing running to our place instead of cultivating?” Looking at Xuanyuan Chen, Jiang Xu had a critical look on his face.

“Damn boy, don’t you really want to see me?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen said depressedly.

“He definitely does.XiaoXu keeps talking about you. You’ve been busy arranging the marriage for Senior Sister for more than a month, andXiaoXu has been missing you.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng replied hurriedly.

“I never thought about him!” Jiang Xu gave Xuanyuan Chen a dull look when he said this.

“You brat, I’ve loved you for nothing, little white-eyed wolf.” With a helpless sigh, Xuanyuan Chen sat on the chair beside him.

“You, what are you doing here?” Walking over, Jiang Xu looked at his Master awkwardly.

“Where are your manners, using such rude words like ‘you’ to me?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen sternly rebuked.

“Master, you came to find your disciple tonight, I don’t know what you require.” Looking at Xuanyuan Chen, Jiang Xu said expressionlessly.

Seeing Jiang Xu’s subdued appearance, Xuanyuan Chen was delighted. “Damn boy, what can I do? I’m just here to ask, didn’t you say that you will go into seclusion after Yuantu gets married? I came to ask when you plan to enter seclusion?”

“Oh, this?” Hearing this, Jiang Xu looked at his man.

“Three days later,XiaoXu will seclude in three days.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Oh.” Nodding, Xuanyuan Chen took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to Jiang Xu. “This is 5 million spirit stones, for you to use during your seclusion. When you advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm and come out of seclusion, I will hold a celebration for you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu blinked. “No need to celebrate, I don’t care what others think of me.”

“You dare say you don’t care?! Look at the long face you have been showing me all day!” Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen was very depressed.

“Other people’s thoughts are not important, what matters is your opinions and thoughts. I know that I am not as good as the Senior Brother. But, you can at least tell people about me, right?” Bai Yunfei was in the strength of the eight stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm, and he could take charge of all the big and small matters in the sect. It could be said that Bai Yunfei was very shrewd and very competent, and he couldn’t compare with this, moreover, he couldn’t compare with this Senior Brother.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen laughed. “En, being able to see your own shortcomings proves that you have a lot of room for growth. But you must understand that you are different from Yunfei. Yunfei is the one who will take over the Lingwu Sect, and you will inherit my mantle. You don’t need to be as smooth as he is. You just need to learn the Art of Sword from me.”

“En, I know.” Nodding, Jiang Xu responded.

“Okay, let’s not talk about it, you and your man can enjoy your time together. After all, you will be in seclusion in two days.” After speaking, Xuanyuan Chen stood up.

“Master, when I am in seclusion, take care of yourself.” Looking at his Master, Jiang Xu said sullenly.

“En, now you are speaking like a human, you stinky boy.” After another glance at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen’s figure had already disappeared from the room.
