Ch122 - He realized that his future was probably going to be very differen (2/2)

The Heaven and Earth Peaks had always been at odds with each other. It was not surprising that elder martial brother would have such an attitude.

Ancestor Thunderbolt did not plan to argue with someone from the younger generation either. After losing the battle with the current Sect Leader for the position of Peak Master of Sky Peak years ago, he had been very tolerant of Sky Peak’s people, and it was unknown whether he really did not care, or if he was biding his time.

“That little doll.” Ancestor Thunderbolt pointed a finger, and the crowd followed his movements and dispersed. And the person who finally appeared on the other side of his fingertip, was a calm-looking Yu Shaofeng.

Elder martial brother raised his eyebrows.

“That doll is also a mutated lightning root, and he’s very suitable cultivate this old man’s skills. There should not be anyone more suitable for him than I am in the entire sect.” He stroked his beard and laughed, looking very satisfied with this little doll. “If there’s no problem, you can register him under my name. He’ll be my thirteenth disciple from today onwards.”

Elder martial brother slowly opened his mouth to speak. “I’m afraid not.”

Ancestor Thunderbolt’s forehead wrinkled. He was really unhappy now. “Unfettered, I’m showing you respect, but you cannot get an inch and take a mile. Did I do anything wrong today? I only picked first. Could there be that there’s someone who wants to fight with me over the person I’ve chosen?”

Elder martial brother shook his head and spoke disapprovingly, “Martial uncle, it’s not that your martial nephew wants to make trouble for you. Only, that child has been decided on long ago, and I do not dare provoke that person and can only refuse your request.” He smiled like a fox, looking like he was in a great mood.

Ancestor Thunderbolt’s expression suddenly darkened. “What, can someone still be accorded such privileges during the disciple recruitment gathering?”

“It’s not a privilege, but I publicly chose this little doll yesterday~ And I even threatened that I would kill my way up whichever mountain peak dared to fight me for him~ Does martial uncle want to give it a try?” A certain someone arrived late, but his voice was clear, the sound like pieces of jade colliding. He walked like the wind, his black hair dancing along with his movements. As he passed by, everyone seemed to be able to smell a faint scent of grass and trees that lingered on his body.

Today, he was wearing red clothes, and had a red jade crown on his head. Even the ribbons that dangled down were a stunning red. His words, his actions, and even his eyebrows were proud and arrogant to the extreme. The tear moles in the corners of his eyes were like a dot of cinnabar that had just momentarily fallen there, and it made those who were dazedly looking at him hesitate, and then recover their wits completely.

All the new disciples present suddenly recalled what their disciple brother had said yesterday.

“As for that martial uncle… You will naturally understand when you see him…”

The person who had just arrived addressed Ancestor Thunderbolt as ‘martial uncle’, and addressed Unfettered Immortal as ‘elder martial brother’. According to seniority, that person should be that mysterious martial uncle…

Although he was being fought over by others, Yu Shaofeng still maintained his calm and stood there by himself. But at this moment, he was also confused.

“Martial nephew Xue…” When Chi Lan had held his gathering, Xue Ling had been brought out to meet a lot of people. Amongst them had been Ancestor Thunderbolt, who had given him a pretty good first-meeting gift that Xue Ling was quite satisfied with.

“It’s me.” Xue Ling nodded. He had already arrived beside Yu Shaofeng, and he reached out to touch the little doll’s head. When he hooked his lips and smiled, it was inexplicably provoking. “What I said yesterday has already been spread throughout the sect. Since martial uncle does not pay attention to these things, it’s understandable not to have heard.”

“Martial nephew is still young, and has only just become Venerable Crimson Flame’s disciple. Are you in such a hurry to accept a disciple?” He knew what he could or could not say to certain people; although there were ten thousand feelings of unhappiness in his heart, Ancestor Thunderbolt still had a pleasant expression on his face when facing Xue Ling. This was the young man who was brought to meet with a lot of people by Chi Lan back then, and he was very clear how much Chi Lan valued him. For him to have a reputation for being invincible in a fight also relied on one other point – he did not participate in fights he was uncertain about. Chi Lan was several stages above him, and their fighting power could not even be compared. He did not want to have to go up against Still Peak at all.

“I’m young, and there are many things I haven’t learned yet. How could I casually come out and accept a disciple? If I can’t teach them after I accept one, wouldn’t that be wronging the little disciple?~” Xue Ling naturally wouldn’t make things difficult since the other party wasn’t trying to go against him, but he had many ways to silently choke up an opponent. He spoke with a wide smile on his face, making it even easier for others to be angered to death. “Martial uncle also knows that I have a profound wooden sky spiritual root while Master has a lightning and fire spiritual root. Our attributes don’t match very well~ So Master wanted to accept another disciple, and I was ordered to come out and find one. In this disciple recruiting convention, the only new disciple whose roots can match with Master’s is precisely this mutated lightning spiritual root.”

“This…”

“Why, does martial uncle still have questions?” He put on a bitter expression. “It’s not that I want to fight over this person with martial uncle, only, I already told Master yesterday that I would bring him back a new disciple with a mutated lightning root~ Master is waiting on Still Peak. Martial uncle, how about following me back to Still Peak if you insist on discussing this further?”

Things had already reached this point. What else could Ancestor Thunderbolt do?! Go up against Chi Lan for a mutated lightning spiritual root? That would be too deliberate and suspicious, and he would no longer be able to carry out his plan at all. He didn’t need to worry about whether or not he could discuss it with that fellow Chi Lan; if Chi Lan came up and immediately started a fight, if he ended up injured, wouldn’t the losses outweigh the gains?

Having reached this conclusion, the smile on Ancestor Thunderbolt’s face turned much more real. “Since it’s someone that martial nephew has decided on yesterday, then we will just give him to you. I had originally thought that this child and I had some destiny together, which was why I wanted to accept him as a disciple.” As he spoke, he looked at Yu Shaofeng and took out a jade token from his body. “Child, this is a token of my Earth Peak. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, you can take this to Earth Peak and look for me.”

Yu Shaofeng was still stunned. Finally, Xue Ling gave him a light push, and he stumbled forward.

Xue Ling helped him accept the jade token, the attractive smile still on his face. None of his inner thoughts were revealed at all as he said, “This child is still young. I’ll accept it for him first, and thank martial uncle for his kindness. If there really comes a day where something happens that my Still Peak can’t deal with, we’ll definitely make a trip to Earth Peak.”

Ancestor Thunderbolt: “…” How come he hadn’t noticed how antagonistic this young fellow could be when Chi Lan brought him out to introduce him to everyone that day?

“Then I’ll be troubling elder martial brother to help me register this child under Still Peak.” Xue Ling ignored his distorted expression and smiled at his elder martial brother.

“Okay. Younger martial brother should bring him back now. Don’t let Venerable Crimson Flame wait too long.”

“Yes~”

Before leaving, Xue Ling also had Yu Shaofeng say goodbye to Ancestor Thunderbolt. Xue Ling’s laughter was especially attractive when he saw the other party’s dark as a thundercloud expression.

On that day, Yu Shaofeng gained a very deep impression of his martial brother’s first words to him.

“Little martial brother, did you see? When you meet these kinds of double faced trash, just stifle them to death. Our Still Peak, even looking at the entire world of cultivation, has never feared anyone. We don’t need this kind of goodwill.”

Having spoken these words, he stood up high and threw the jade token that Ancestor Thunderbolt had given him down the mountain.

Yu Shaofeng watched the jade token disappear in front of him. For the first time, he realized that his future was probably going to be very different.
