Chapter 121: If Disciple Might Be So Bold, Uncle, Please Bestow the Sword
Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy
In the Spirit Sword Sect, Wen Bao belonged to the Inner Court Disciple, under the guidance of Second Elder Liu Xian in the Misty Peak. His third uncle was naturally the Sect’s Third Elder, Disciplinary Elder Fang He. Or in w.a.n.g Lu’s words, the Secretary of Discipline Inspection Commission.
Liu Xian was out and out a strict Master. In the two years of cultivation in the Sect, Wen Bao would often get scolded by him. However, if compared to him, the Disciplinary Elder was undoubtedly scarier. At this time, upon hearing Fang He’s voice, Wen Bao truly shook in fear.
“Return to your room, your Master and I are here.”
In his heart, Wen Bao very much wanted to escape, but in the end, he still tremblingly went back to his room, and when he opened the room, he nearly fainted on the spot.
Not only his Master and his Third Uncle were there, even his Fifth Aunt was there too. It was just that, compared to Liu Xian and Fang He, who sat with a serious scowl on their faces, w.a.n.g Wu’s posture was more at ease. Upon seeing him, she smiled. “This fatty has really stored up a few pounds this autumn [1].”
This time was already early in the winter, so it was already several months pa.s.s the time when people put on a few pounds. Let alone in these few months, as the head of Infrastructure Department, he was almost thinner because of overwork. Now, upon listening to Fifth Aunt’s teasing, Wen Bao reluctantly squeezed out a slight smile.
“Fifth Junior Sister, don’t talk about irrelevant topics,” Fang He interrupted, and then sternly looked at Wen Bao. “Do you know why your Master and I are here?”
Wen Bao froze for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded. The Elders had personally come, how could he dare to quibble? They would be more lenient to him if he confessed...
Therefore, he told them the nearly everything about the Wisdom Sect, from capturing the dirty old man at the Marquis County to the two days of long talk with Qian Hu. Except for the topic that was too sensitive like the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, he disclosed everything else.
This was something clever that Wen Bao learned about. If this was the other disciples, they might push the blame on other cultivators, however, in front of the strict, impartial, and square Elder, any little trick would only lead him to his own doom. Moreover, since they were willing to listen to his explanation, it proved that things had turned for the better.
Sure enough, after they finished hearing his explanation, Liu Xian and Fang He didn’t get immediately furious and just silently nodded. However, their complexion had turned gloomier.
Only Fifth Elder was still carefree. “Little fatty, you’re pretty good. Right now, you’re actually the manager of a department. Sure enough, the management promotion from a big decentralized organization is surely fast.”
As soon as her voice fell, Liu Xian finally couldn’t hold back his anger. “Fifth Junior Sister, you’re still spouting off gibberis.h.!.+ You had also heard Wen Bao’s words just a moment ago; Zhu Qin’s report is true, your treasured disciple has indeed provoked a gargantuan disaster!”
Fifth Elder blinked her eyes. “Really?”
“Don’t play dumb! What do you think about that d.a.m.n Wisdom Sect?”
Fifth Elder continued to blink. “I think this is a typical independent entrepreneurial behavior, where a worker, relying on his capital, resources, information, technology, experience, and other factors to create his own industry to solve the employment problem. By establis.h.i.+ng the Wisdom Sect, w.a.n.g Lu had set off a wave of Immortal Cultivation in the Great Ming Country, solving the employment problem of over a million of people. I think the Sect should commend and encourage such an endeavor, and at the same time, raise the subsidy of his Master…”
Before she finished, Liu Xian was so angered that he exaggeratedly slapped the table. “Fart!”
Fifth Elder was astonished. “What? Here? That’s not good.”
Whooz! Elder Liu Xian’s sword qi suddenly appeared, ready to be unleashed.
Fang He sighed and then reached out to hold Liu Xian back. “Please be patient Senior Brother, our main task here is, after all, not to blame Fifth Junior Sister, but to find the person that is responsible for all of this.”
Then he turned around to ask Wen Bao, “Do you have any method to contact your Senior Brother w.a.n.g Lu?”
Wen Bao replied, “Previously, there is, but I had just used the Psychic Jade three days ago, so now I have no way to contact him.”
Liu Xian pondered for a moment. “Do you know where he went?”
Wen Bao thought about it and then shook his head. “I am not sure.”
“Is there anyone who are with him?”
“Junior Sister Yue is with him.”
“Yue Xinyao?” Fang He deeply wrinkled his brows. “That child has always been decorous, how come she’s together with w.a.n.g Lu?”
Liu Xian coldly snorted. “Being instigated by him, what else? After all, that child, Yue Xinyao, doesn’t have much experience, so w.a.n.g Lu just needs to open his mouth. Compared to his Master, his mouth is even more superior.”
Fifth Elder snorted. “More superior than his Master? Second Brother, you too underestimated me.”
Liu Xian didn’t pay attention to her and said, “Now that we know he’s with Yue Xinyao, then let’s ask Junior Sister Hua Yun to find her.” He then pointed his finger forward a bit and then drew a circle in mid-air. Within that circle, the s.p.a.ce immediately rippled, and in the middle of the ripple, Hua Yun’s face gradually emerged.
“Huh, Senior Brother, you’re looking for me?”
Hua Yun’s face was filled with astonishment.
“Help me find Yue Xinyao.” Liu Xian made the long story short, and Hua Yun also didn’t ask why. She closed her eyes for a moment, opened it again and then answered, “Not far from there. If you sweep the area with your Primordial Spirit, you would immediately find her.” Her small face then showed a trace of curiosity. “Are you playing hide and seek?”
