Ch342 - Visiting Master

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went to pay their respects to Xuanyuan Chen together.

“Disciple pays respects to Master, Master, you are finally back.” Jiang Xu said lightly. His eyes were filled with admiration. After eighty-two years, he finally saw his Master again.

Looking at the apprentice who saluted him, Xuanyuan Chen snorted and laughed. “Not bad, brat! I have only been away for eighty-two years, and your strength has advanced by two small realms, you are already seven stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm.”

“It’s not bad.” Jiang Xu was very proud of his promotion, and raised his little chin high.

Seeing his apprentice’s proud appearance, Xuanyuan Chen snorted coldly. “Brat, if you say you’re fat, you’re still panting.”

“Master, why have you been away for so long?” Jiang Xu complained in a dissatisfied manner. Having not seen his Master for such a long time, Jiang Xu inevitably missed him a little bit.

“Hei, the Tianyao Continent is so far away from here, and it still takes fifteen years to go back and forth even with a ninth-level flying artifact.” Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen was also very helpless. After a delay of fifteen years on the road, Pianpian couldn’t bear to part with her Father when she arrived in the Tianyao Continent where she had lived for decades longer, so naturally it was hard for him to urge his wife to return.

“XiaoXu, don’t blame Chenchen, it’s because I was reluctant to come back, so we stayed longer.” Feng Pianpian smiled embarrassedly.

“Pianpian, is your Father okay? Also, how are the cultivators from the Fox and Bear Clans?” Jiang Xu asked.

“Yes, everything is fine. My Father is fine, and the Fox and Bear Clans are also fine. Moreover, Hu Qiqi and Xiong Lin have become partners.” She smiled gracefully as she reported the news.

“Partners? No way, those two guys don’t like each other, they’re always dueling every time they see each other, unexpectedly, they’ve gotten married.” Jiang Xu was very surprised by this incident. One had to know, the Princess of the Fox Clan and the Prince of the Bear Clan went to the island where they had been staying, for a duel. Unexpectedly, this pair of enemies actually became husband and wife. This… really the world is full of wonders.

“The two of them are fated lovers. I have seen them secretly. The two of them have eight-points of fate, destined to each other. Their fate is very good.”

“So that’s how it is.” Nodding his head, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“Senior Brother Jiang, congratulations on passing your cultivation test, your strength has improved.” Cupping his hands, Feng Nie congratulated Jiang Xu with a smile.

“Third Prince, you’re over-praising. You just came to the sect. If you need anything, you can find me and Mufeng. We can all help you.” Jiang Xu said generously.

“Okay, thank you Senior Brother Jiang.” Nodding, Feng Nie hastily thanked him.

“XiaoXu, your Mistress and Feng Nie are also going to the ruins. When the time comes, you and your Senior Brother should protect your Mistress and Feng Nie more. Do you understand?” Xuanyuan Chen ordered so.

“Advance to the Spiritual Ancestor Realm? Brat, didn’t you just advance to two small realms in this 80 years? It’s still so far away.” Xuanyuan Chen was very helpless.

“No, actually I…”

“Okay,XiaoXu. You didn’t offer a drink to the Sect Master just now.” Liu Mufeng interrupted his lover in a timely manner.

Glancing at his partner, Jiang Xu nodded. “Oh, Master, drink tea.”

Seeing the apprentice who took the tea bowl from Liu Mufeng’s hand and presented it to him respectfully, Xuanyuan Chen nodded. He took the teacup and took a sip of the tea in the cup.

“Actually what?”

“No, nothingah? I just wanted to say that I’m a genius in cultivation. After going to the Stone Clan for a hundred years, I might just advance to the Spiritual Ancestor Realm.” Jiang Xu patted his chest.

“Stinky boy, don’t pretend with me. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’ve advanced to the nine stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm, right?” Xuanyuan Chen asked with a smile while staring at his apprentice.

“Master, you, how do you know?” Jiang Xu asked in surprise.

Hearing his lover’s response to the trick question, Liu Mufeng supported his forehead and said in his heart:Xiao Xu, ah, you are too sincere, your Master was just tricking you, and you fell for it.

“You, have you really advanced to the nine stars in the Spiritual Profound Realm?” Xuanyuan Chen asked in disbelief with his eyes widened in shock.

“En, I used a lot of spiritual treasures to advance, and even used up a billion spirit stones.” Jiang Xu sighed.

Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “Stinky boy, you have only been in seclusion for forty-three years in total for three times. You have used up three Golden Source Pearls, one Golden Spirit Fruit, plus a bottle of Golden Jade Dew and one billion spirit stones. In such a short period of time, and with so little resources, you have advanced to four small realms, what are you still dissatisfied with?”

“No, I’m not dissatisfied. I just feel distressed, all the good things are gone.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu hastily explained.

“Hmph, be content, with such a few things, if the same was given to a cultivator with less aptitude, even advancing a small realm would be a great feat.” Xuanyuan Chen snorted coldly as he looked at the dissatisfied expression of his apprentice.

“XiaoXu, it’s a good thing for you to have advanced. Why do you want to hide your cultivation?” Feng Pianpian asked suspiciously.

“I, I’m afraid that my cultivation aptitude is too good to be envied by others.” Shrugging, Jiang Xu said helplessly.

“Wood will be destroyed by the forest air.XiaoXu is the Sect Master’s disciple, and his every word and deed represents the Sect Master. He should be humble and low-key, and set an example for other disciples.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said so.

Jiang Xu nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I am quite modest.”

“Just you? Liu Mufeng taught you, right?” Xuanyuan Chen didn’t think that his apprentice had so many tricks.

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu didn’t hide from his master.

“I knew it was him.” Liu Mufeng was really cunning enough. If he hadn’t said something casually, he would have been fooled by this kid.

“Master, someone bullied me and wanted to poach my partner, you have to make the decision for me.” Jiang Xu said aggrievedly, pulling on the sleeve of his Master’s robe.

“Poach your partner? Who is it?” Raising an eyebrow, Xuanyuan Chen asked curiously.

“It’s Huang Shanshan, the Granddaughter of the Seventh Elder. She hangs around under Mufeng’s eyes every day when she has nothing to do. It’s so annoying.” Speaking of that woman, Jiang Xu was very depressed.

“Your Liu Mufeng often goes to the Arena area and the Trading area. These two places are public places in the sect. It should be normal to meet them in public places, right?”

“It’s not normal, Mufeng said, since he detoxified that girl, he always meets her every day in the ring area. It’s been half a month since I met her by chance. That stinky girl just wants to poach my corner. Master, shouldn’t I worry about it? If you don’t care, I’ll beat her tomorrow and turn her into a pig’s head.”

“Nonsense, that’s the Granddaughter of the Seventh Elder. With your little ability, you can’t make a single move under the Seventh Elder’s hands. How dare you beat his Granddaughter?” Xuanyuan Chen said angrily as he stared hard at his apprentice. .

“Then, Huang Shanshan has her Grandfather backing her up. Don’t I have Master backing me up? You won’t let the Seventh Elder beat me to death, right?” Jiang Xu said aggrievedly.

“That’s not necessarily true, you stinky brat always get angry at me every now and then. Maybe I wish you would be beaten up by the Seventh Elder?” Xuanyuan Chen said with a half-smile.

“No, if you want to hit me, you can do it yourself. Why do you want someone else to beat me? Besides, I am your apprentice, not Huang Yan’s apprentice. Why should he be allowed to hit me?” Jiang Xu He snorted unhappily.

“Presumptuous! You also directly named the Seventh Elder?”

“Master!” Jiang Xu pulled Xuanyuan Chen’s sleeve and shook it.

“Okay, don’t shake my sleeves. This little thing won’t alarm the Seventh Elder. If that girl keeps pestering you, you can go to the ring area to find Elder Huang, and tell him to help discipline that girl.” Xuanyuan Chen said so.

“Who is Elder Huang in the ring area? It can’t be Huang Shanshan’s Father, right?”

“No, Huang Shi’an is Huang Shanshan’s Uncle. The Seventh Elder has three Sons, and Huang Shanshan’s Father is the Third Son. However, when Huang Shanshan was five years old, her parents went out to practice and both died. Later, the Second Son of the Huang family also died. So, the Seventh Elder now has only one Son, Huang Shi’an. Huang Shi’an is the Eldest Son of the Huang family, and his words carry a lot of weight, and his Nephews and Nieces also trust and obey him.”

“Oh, I see, thank you Master.” Lowering his head, Jiang Xu hastily thanked him.

“Say it secretly, don’t make a big fuss, after all, girls are very concerned about their reputation.”

“Got it.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed with a smile.

“There are still four years until the Stone Clan ruins are opened. Why didn’t you stay in seclusion for two more years? Why did you come out so early?” Xuanyuan Chen asked curiously.

“Oh, I wanted to go out to train my body and stabilize my strength. I’m afraid my strength is too weak, and I won’t have enough combat power after entering the ruins.”

“En,that’s true, then you should train your body properly. You can also find a few Sword Masters to practice with you like Mufeng. The more you practice, the better your swordsmanship will be.” Xuanyuan Chen said as he looked at his apprentice with a smile.

“Yes, this disciple knows.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“By the way, Huang Shi’an’s Eldest Son, Huang Jie, is also a swordsman. You can discuss it with him. He is the Eldest Grandson of the Seventh Elder. The Seventh Elder thinks highly of him.”

“Oh, there is such a person? Is he a disciple of the First Elder?”

“No, he is the Eldest Disciple of the Sixteenth Elder and the core disciple of the sect.” Xuanyuan Chen still had some impressions of this person.

“Oh, I understand.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.
