“My wife used up all the energy she had to give birth to him. That is why he takes my wife’s last name,” Bao Feiping explained, thinking that Lonemoon was upset about Little An taking his mother’s last name. “Fellow Immortal Yi Qing may give him another name if he so pleases. after all, from this day on, he’s your sect’s-”

“No!” Lonemoon interrupted before he could finish speaking.

“What?” The two men from the Bao family stared at Lonemoon incredulously. “You don’t have to give him another name-”

“No! I mean he cannot become Yi Qing’s disciple!” Lonemoon said angrily. In a most serious tone, he said, “And he cannot join Invincible Sect. Certainly not!”

“… Why?” Bao Feiping was shocked. Did he not agree just awhile ago?

“Because… be…” Lonemoon struggled to find the right words His usual glib tongue seemed to lose its effect as he thought long and hard about what to say next. “My sect… is full at the moment!”

“Ah!?” What does he mean?

“Er, I mean…” he regained his composure and glanced at Yi Qing. “Yi Qing is the one whom you are asking. Let’s see how he decides. Right, Chef?” He turned and shot a meaningful look at Yi Qing, which said: I will not give you your food allowance for a year if you agree!

Yi Qing: “…”

Bao Feiping: “…”

Didn’t Lonemoon say he could decide for Yi Qing?

“Fellow Immortal Yi?” The two of them turned to Yi Qing.

Yi Qing studied the child standing in front of him, who shared much the same fate as he did. He was moved. “It’s not impossible for me to take him as my disciple.”

Lonemoon’s heart jumped. He cursed under his breath. “Chef….” Watch what you’re saying!

But he heard Yi Qing continue, “But I am not yet an expert. I am still learning under my own master. I have to ask…” He turned to face Shen Ying fully and said, “Master, I-”

“No!” Shen Ying interrupted.

Yi Qing turned to the men and repeated, “No!”

The two men: “….” What happened to helping each other out?

“City Lord, Exalted Immortal, we have urgent matters to attend to back at my sect. Since your child is fine, we will take our leave!” Lonemoon tugged at Yi Qing’s and Shen Ying’s sleeves and turned around to walk out of the abode before either of them could say anything more. With a swoosh of their flying sword, they were gone.

Bao Feiping: “…”

Bao Yi: “….”

What’s the matter?

——————

Lonemoon dragged the two of them out of the house and into the air. He had a disapproving look on his face the entire time. He only stopped when they had reached the bottom of Invincible Sect’s hill..

“I-” Yi Qing began.

“Don’t speak!” Lonemoon cut him off. “I know you pity the child, but you cannot accept him as your disciple! You can accept anyone but him!”

“You-”

“I know you think I’m being heartless,” Lonemoon said anxiously. He began to pace back and forth. “If he does not train his sword technique, the Primordial Soul Sword Qi might act up again, but… I’m doing this for your good and for the good of our sect. There are some things you might not understand. I will explain to you in time. Who knows? You might end up thanking… Eh?”

“What are you doing!”

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Qing had pushed him aside.

“Get out!” Who cares about the explanation? Just don’t stand between my master and I!

Lonemoon: “…” F*cker!

“Master.” Yi Qing handed over the storage bag hanging from his side and addressed Shen Ying seriously, “I am going to have a breakthrough. I will take a long time this time. This is the food I prepared. You can eat from this bag when you get hungry.”

“Oh, okay!” Shen Ying received the bag.
