Chapter 1199: Bai Shien of the Snow Mountain Sect (1/2)

“You wish to meet the grandmaster?” Bai Wanli exclaimed. Even though he knew that Jiang Fei would only present himself to them with a purpose, he would never expect Jiang Fei to want to meet the grandmaster of the Snow Mountain Sect.

“Yes. I have something interesting… things that I know he would have an eye for,” said Jiang Fei with a suggestive grin.

“Mhm… This is not a trivial matter. Even though I am the sect leader but anything related to the grandmaster is out of my reach. I could relay the message but it all comes down to the grandmaster himself,” said Bai Wanli bitterly. The last thing he wanted to do was to reject Jiang Fei’s request but it was hard for him to get involved with Level 5 masters.

“I’m counting on you,” Jiang Fei smiled and bowed slightly. Bai Wanli excused himself to talk to the grandmaster while leaving Jiang Fei in the hands of the other masters of the sect. After an hour or so, Bai Wanli returned with a smile.

“How did it go?” Jiang Fei stopped his boring conversation with the other masters and quickly asked Bai Wanli.

“Brother Jiang Fei. It seems that you’re popular enough person to garner the grandmaster’s attention. He agreed to meet you and wishes me to take you to him now,” said Bai Wanli. Jiang Fei was thrilled. It would be extremely awkward for him if the grandmaster would reject to have an audience with him.

“You have my thanks, sect leader Bai!” said Jiang Fei as he bowed lower this time. Jiang Fei wanted to say: “I owe you big time,” but he was afraid Bai Wanli might take it to the heart and would return to Jiang Fei with a request. He was grateful but not too much to that extent.

The party went out of the guest room and towards the mountains. In about half an hour, they arrived deep into the mountains. To be specific, it was almost at the peak of the Snow Mountain as everything was already covered in snow. The temperature dropped to almost freezing temperature, not to mention the thick blanket of snow that piled up on the ground.

“The grandmaster is just right ahead. This is where I take my leave,” said Bai Wanli as they reached the top. Not far from where they stood was the cave that the grandmaster was living in.

“Sect leader Bai won’t be joining us?” Ariel asked.

“Mhm. The grandmaster does not like crowds. We would never disturb the grandmaster if it’s not for urgent matters. Even though he allowed me to fetch brother Jiang Fei, he did not give me permission to enter his domains,” said Bai Wanli as he bowed apologetically. Even though the Level 5 grandmaster was of Snow Mountain Sect, the man was approaching his 200th years. Bai Wanli was several generations younger than he was. It was only natural for the grandmaster to be cold towards anyone.

“Thank you for all your troubles,” said Jiang Fei before he proceeded to the cave. He held no fear to any Level 5 fighters, especially since he had fought and survived many other Level 5 Metahumans. Moreover, he had Sylphy and Ariel with him. To be honest, the fear and respect he once had for other Level 5 Metahumans were gone.

The inside of the cave was large and even housed larger cavities. As they went deeper, the temperature began to rise back up. It seemed that the many tunnels served as insulation.

“Not bad. Here I thought that the man would be training in harsh conditions! Looks like he was rather enjoying this place!” Sylphy commented as she clung to Jiang Fei.

“Haha! Baby doll, do you really think that all Level 5 masters would subject themselves to harsh training like the Shaolin monks?”

The voice echoed all over the caverns. Deep husky laughter filled the cavern after he was done teasing Sylphy. Jiang Fei was not surprised since he did come into the cave knowingly. As a matter of fact, the Level 5 grandmaster did not bother to hide his presence. By the time Jiang Fei was halfway through the cave, both of them could already feel each other’s presence.

“Great senior, this one greets you!” said Jiang Fei.
