“You wanna be my follower?” Jun Xiaoyao felt rather startled.

He never anticipated Jun Linglong to harbor such thoughts at all.

Becoming someone’s follower was very common.

All 10 sequence position holders of the Jun family had a group of very powerful followers serving them.

Those followers were either geniuses recruited from the ranks of the family itself or capable people recruited from the outside world.

All in all, every single renowned, supreme figure was usually accompanied by a group of followers, who would play important roles in their masters’ future.

Even Jun Xiaoyao’s father, Jun Wuhui, had a group of his own followers. They were known as the Divine King’s Eight Companies, with every single one of them being very renowned heroes on their own.

Jun Xiaoyao had thought about recruiting followers, but he was in no rush to do so while he was still three years old. As such, he never put much thought into it.

“Why?” Jun Xiaoyao was feeling curious.

‘Is it just because I broke the Extreme Stage of the Eons?’

“I just had a gut feeling,” Jun Linglong replied, gazing at him with her deep eyes.

She was not in a good position to talk about her premonition; she might have to bear some dire consequence talking about it.

She deemed herself far from being able to bear such consequences as she currently was.

“A Gut feeling?” Jun Xiaoyao felt rather exasperated.

He was nonetheless able to see that Jun Linglong probably knew something but was reluctant to voice it out loud.

Then again, he had heard a thing or two about Jun Linglong before.

This was a girl born with the Heart of Qiqiao Linglong, whose mind was so astute that she could learn all kinds of martial arts techniques and methods faster than anyone else.

If she were to be able to live long enough, she was destined to become a saint in the future.

Such geniuses would be renowned, prestigious, and privileged figures no matter where they end up. He deemed someone like her worthy of becoming his follower.

‘Grandpa is the one taking care of my daily life right now. When he’s now giving me lectures, he would keep telling me to sire a bunch of children for the Jun family when I grow up…’ Jun Xiaoyao felt exasperated at the thought.

Despite being physically only three years old, he was actually far more mature than his age would suggest. Having to deal with a geezer all day long felt tiring to him, even though the geezer in question was his own grandfather.

‘Seems like a good idea to recruit Jun Linglong as a maid to take care of day-to-day affairs,’ Jun Xiaoyao thought.

He had no thoughts of fostering her to become something, but he nonetheless found the idea of making her his maid to be acceptable.

If other people were to know what was going in Jun Xiaoyao’s mind, they would have probably desperately wanted to just kill him where he stood.

The idea of a shining genius, revered and adored by many like Jun Linglong becoming a maid seemed utterly absurd after all.

It was worth noting that even sequence position holders like Jun Zhangjian, only wanted Jun Linglong to be a companion cultivator of equal status.

Just when Jun Xiaoyao was about to talk, a female voice was heard.

“Jun Linglong, you truly want to be someone else’s follower?” The one who questioned her was none other than Lan Qingya.

She didn’t dare to get on Jun Xiaoyao’s bad side, so she simply took her frustration out at Jun Linglong instead.

“What of it?” Jun Linglong asked calmly.

While she felt flustered and nervous facing Jun Xiaoyao, she was hardly tense talking to Lan Qingya.

“Sir Zhangjian recruited you. He asked you personally to become his follower, and you rejected him. Now, you go out of your way to become someone else’s follower. Are you trying to disgrace Sir Zhangjian?” Lan Qingya’s expression became menacing.

She saw Jun Linglong’s action to be tantamount to dragging Jun Zhangjian’s face through the mud.

“Jun Zhangjian was indeed exceptional, but I, Jun Linglong, would follow someone who would reign supreme over an era!” Jun Linglong’s tone sounded rather heated.

“Heh… reigning supreme over an era? You mean him?” Lan Qingya asked reflexively without giving any thought about her words.

“Hmph, how insolent could a thing like you be!”

Before Jun Xiaoyao was able to say anything, Jun Zhantian’s eyebrow twitched as he waved right there and then.

Pfftt!

Lan Qingya was sent flying right there and then, crashing hard to the ground. Blood was seen coming from the corner of her mouth.

Jun Zhantian was going easy on her, believing that killing someone like Lan Qingya was beneath someone of his status.

“I’d really like to spar with Brother Zhangjian for a bit in the future if the opportunity presents itself. As for you, just get out of my sight…” Jun Xiaoyao said casually.

He didn’t feel like lifting even a finger at a small fry like her.
