xiin: this has to be said before you start reading… ala decided to take a shot every time Xue Ling is described as beautiful in this chapter. let’s see how it goes :blobsmilesweat:
At first, people on top of the Sky Ladder did not notice the newly arrived Xue Ling, but after someone moved their gaze and cried out, everyone’s gaze turned and fell on Xue Ling’s body.

He was not wearing the blue and white striped uniform that disciples of Sky Sword Sect were supposed to wear. Instead, he was wearing black robes, his long black hair loosely tied with a red ribbon. His eyebrows were picturesque, and his every move and smile was intoxicating.
Xue Ling was unaware of all this. He was staring at the protagonist and spacing out, thinking about what the man’s reaction would be if he really brought this child back. The corners of his lips were subconsciously curved upwards, but his pupils were unfocused.
There were more and more people watching him, and the little disciple became more and more anxious. He daringly tugged on Xue Ling sleeve and asked, “Martial uncle… do you see anyone you like?”
It could be seen from a glance at his clothing that the little disciple came from Sky Sword Sect. Although he was an outer sect disciple, the people he brought in could not be easily provoked. However, some people’s hearts were very itchy, and they sneered when they heard the little disciple’s words. “See someone you like? Ha-ha, saying words like that in an occasion like this. Even if you want to go through the back door there’s no need to do it so obviously.”
Xue Ling gathered his wits, and tilted his head to look oddly at the person behind him who was currently mocking them.
It was a teenager who looked quite young. He was dressed in an ordinary disciple’s uniform, but the accessories on his body were rather luxurious. He had a few younger disciple brothers behind him, and it looked like his background was quite good.
Xue Ling asked the little disciple beside him curiously, “Who is this person?”

“This is disciple brother An Cheng of Earth Peak.” The little disciple lowered his gaze and introduced him to Xue Ling. “He is martial sister ’s disciple.” When they calculated seniority, the little disciple that brought Xue Ling here was one generation above this disciple brother, but there was a big difference between outer sect disciple and inner disciples, and the little disciple did not dare to say too much.
“Dream Memory?” Xue Ling repeated this name carefully as he tried to recall it. It was a name that had been mentioned in the story before it was dropped.
Fairy Dream Memory was Earth Peak’s Peak Master’s third disciple Immortal Lofty Mountain’s chief disciple. Immortal Lofty Mountain was of the same generation as Xue Ling’s elder martial brother, so from a seniority standpoint, this Fairy Dream Memory was Xue Ling’s martial niece. The person who had taken in the protagonist was Ancestor Thunderbolt, so the protagonist had been on the same level of seniority as Immortal Lofty Mountain. In order to butter him up, the Fairy Dream Memory had once gotten along well with the protagonist, but she also made sure to step all over him once he fell from grace.
Holding up those who were on their way up and stepping on those who were suffering was a law of survival in the human world, and it also applied to the world of cultivation.
Now, it seemed that this disciple under the Fairy Dream Memory was probably not much different from her.
Xue Ling was too lazy to pay attention to him, only glancing lazily at his opponent before moving his thoughts away.

“Master did not introduce me to them, so they should be relatively insignificant. Just ignore him.”
The little disciple touched the sweat on his forehead and thought to himself: ‘All the people that your master introduced you to were great figures renowned across the entire cultivation world. Dream Memory did not even have the qualifications to attend the event – how could she be introduced?’
However, the youth was different from the little disciple. Because he had Fairy Dream Memory as a master, and her status was not bad, he had always been a bully in Sky Sword Sect. But now someone was speaking ill of his master in front of him – how could he not be angry? “You! Who are you! Daring to run around the sect without wearing the sect’s uniform. If you don’t obey the rules, aren’t you afraid that Xing Peak’s people will take you away for punishment? Having the guts to say that my master is insignificant! What kind of thing do you think you are!”
“What kind of thing am I?” Xue Ling gave him a profound look, then spoke lightly, “What kind of thing are you then? In my eyes, your master counts for nothing, Xing Peak also counts for nothing. If you have the ability, you can go and have them look into whether or not I’m wearing the sect uniform.”
His remarks were bold and arrogant. Xing Peak was the place responsible for law enforcement in Sky Sword Sect, and also the place that people in Sky Sword Sect were most afraid of. Not only were his words just now enough for him to be sent in for at least several decades of punishment, even more importantly, they were enough to get him chased out of Sky Sword Sect.
But Xue Ling was fearless. Although he didn’t always rely on the fact that he had an extraordinary master in order to make trouble everywhere all the time, having such this kind of backing was useless if he didn’t take it out and use it.
The little disciple bowed his head and dared not speak. Although Xue Ling’s words were excessive, he did have reason. He was not a disciple of Sky Sword Sect, but rather Venerable Crimson Flame’s personal disciple. If the Venerable Crimson Flame was unhappy, it was no problem for him to bring his disciple with him and break away from the sect. Although Xue Ling’s words were a little wild, those who knew who he was would not try to find fault with him over these things.
The teenager’s eyes were wide, and his face full of incredulity. It was as though Xue Ling had spoken some heaven-shattering words. The finger he had raised up was trembling, and he found it totally unbelievable. “You!”

Xue Ling sneered and asked him, “Me, what? I’m just standing here. You can go and look for Xing Peak’s people, bring them over, and see if they dare to do anything to me?”
The teenager glared at the little disciple who was standing beside Xue Ling and burst out, “You! You’re merely an outer disciple! Who on earth did you casually bring into the sect! I will tell my master about this matter! I’ll get you! And him too!”
Xue Ling hooked a finger at him and said, “Bring it on. You should also bring your master that doesn’t count for anything~ I’m quite interested to know what kind of thing managed to bring up a little thing like you.”
The teenager was so angry that tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his entire body was trembling as he tried to suppress his rage.
The little disciple no longer had his head bowed now. Since others were asking about his identity, he naturally did not intend to keep his head low and let Xue Ling stand in for him. His master had ordered him not to neglect this person, and even said not to let anyone bump into him. It was rare for him to leave the mountain peak and come out for once; if Sky Sword Sect left him with this kind of impression, what if he went back and encouraged his master to return back to Chi Clan together?
“I am indeed an outer disciple, but I am Sky Peak’s Unfettered Immortal’s outer court disciple. This time, I brought martial uncle to see this gathering at my Master’s command. There is nothing wrong with me doing so. Even if Fairy Dream Memory comes, regardless if she faces me, or martial uncle, it is impossible for her to say anything. As a martial nephew, you should be more cautious when you speak.”
The teenager was about to blow up from anger. “You’re nothing more than an outer disciple! What qualifications do you have to address me as martial nephew! “

“It’s true that I’m not qualified, but you also cannot point and yell at martial uncle like that.”
