Chapter 264: Can Hide No Longer (2/2)
”Hmm… Yu Ming, what are you doing here? What is this crowd?” Wen Cheng asked.
Alex fell into a dilemma. 'Should I say it or not?' he thought. Wen Cheng seemed to understand his thoughts quite well, so he said, ”it's okay. I was going to tell them soon either way.”
”Ah, that is good then, Master,” Alex said.
”Huh? Master?”
”Did he just say, master?”
”He called the Tiger Sect's sect leader his master.”
”Is he defecting to Tiger Sect now?”
People on neither side of the group could understand what was going on. Wen Cheng decided to take the opportunity to explain.
”This is my direct disciple, Yu Ming. He is also the direct disciple of the Hong Wu Sect's sect leader Ma Rong,” Wen Cheng announced.
The amount of noise because of the confusion only increased.
Ma Rong returned with the registered disciples and saw the crowd. ”What's happening here?” she asked.
”Haha, Sect Leader, it seems Sect Leader Wen doesn't plan on hiding your disciple's relationship any longer. He's openly explained everything,” the Second Elder said. He had known about Alex's situation since the start and had been silently looking at the situation unfold.
She quickly understood the situation and decided to explain the situation. She quickly told the group how Alex was trained in part by both of them and was actually a disciple of both of the two sects.
”He will return back to the Tiger sect for 2 weeks after the competition ends,” Ma Rong said.
”Junior brother, are you not taking part in any competitions today?” Luo Mei asked. She had seen him not with the group that was registered so she was sure of it.
”No,” Alex said.
”Then, why don't you come to sit with us for today? You should see how the sect does at least once in the competition,” Luo Mei said.
”I—” Alex didn't know what to say. He was part of Hong Wu Sect right now, so leaving the group was not something he was thinking of.
”You can go with them for today. Just remember to return before we leave,” Ma Rong said. Alex didn't have anything to do for the day, so he was free to do what he wanted.
”Alright, you guys have seen the drama for long enough. Go back to your own seats,” Ma Rong scolded the group of people as she took them to the seating area.
Alex watched them leave and turned around to go back to the seating area of the Tiger sect. He sat down next to Luo Mei who herself was seated next to Meng Yun. Wen Cheng and the rest of the elders were sitting on the seats behind and above them.
The rest of the disciples were sitting on the seats that were on the same level or one step lower than the rest of them.
