1021 A Dim Future (1/2)
Instead of cracking his head and not have anything to show for it, it would be like entering the treasure mountain and returning emptyhanded if Yun Yang did not think to ask a monstrous antique who had been living for a few thousand years.
A certain someone was ready to humbly ask for new knowledge, as he was still upset.
'Will I endure your trashing if it weren't for my inability to beat you? I'll assume that I'm reusing trash now. Yes, recycling, fully utilizing my resources!'
The disciples who were practicing at the entrance finally saw their master and were about to greet him only to see him walk away in a hurry, looking cold and serious. They were stunned and did not dare provoke him; after all, they were clever children.
”Master doesn't look so happy?”
”Hmm, I think so too.”
”Senior Sister Yun, looking at master's expression, what do you think?”
Yun Xiuxin rubbed her eyes and said doubtfully, ”Is master injured? But there hasn't been any fight these days…”
”Was he injured?”
”What's wrong with master?” Cheng Jiajia asked anxiously.
Yun Xiuxin was about to tell her that she seemed to have seen three bumps on their master's head, but a cough could be heard before she could speak. Their master's stern voice came drifting over, ”Why aren't all of you training? Are you all very free?”
The dozen disciples spread out immediately, not a sound escaped their lips.
”Maybe I was wrong…” thought Yun Xiuxin.
How could her master be injured with his amazing cultivation base and lack of opponents that could fight him? Even if he were injured, it must be a devastating match; how could it be a strange injury of having swollen bumps on the head?
…
Listening to Yun Yang's concern, Dong Qitian looked back at him oddly.
”You think that it's abnormal? Let me tell you, this is the most common thing ever!”
”The Celestial Luck Banner contest is held every three years… It's about three months now until the banner match. Who would be out moving around at such a critical period? What if the sect's expert who's out had some mishap meeting another expert? Isn't that suffering a casualty for nothing and providing the enemy an opportunity?”
”What if the core disciples were wounded?”
”What if…”
”Everything that exists is possible. There are countless possibilities that could cause a downgrade in level or a failure to upgrade in level. There are also countless likelihoods that could cause initial level retention or level up to be near impossible. Schools and sects that have set their eyes on the Celestial Luck Banner meet would normally prevent unwanted circumstances. Staying constant is the best way to counter any change. When everyone is coping with changes by being constant, of course the martial world is serene. What's so odd about it?”
