Chapter 241: Chapter 191: Movements from All Directions

"This is a must! This is a must!"

The butler Cen San also didn’t understand why Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect had suddenly agreed, but he felt relieved. Having escaped death, he had also completed the task assigned to him by Cen Wenjin. After wiping off another round of sweat, he hurried back to the Cen Residence to report the news.

...

Chang’an City, Qingyun Temple.

Zixia secretly stood at the entrance to the great hall and saw her senior brother Tai Shibao closing his eyes to meditate and refine his spirit to void, preparing for tomorrow’s trials.

"Should I tell senior brother about that thing or not..."

Zixia leaned against the railing, indecisively watching her senior brother Tai Shibao.

"Zixia, you are here."

Tai Shibao suddenly opened his eyes and said softly,

"Junior sister, come in. You surely have something to tell me if you’re looking for me so abruptly."

"Senior brother, you’re really incredible, nothing gets past you."

Seeing that she had been discovered by her senior brother Tai Shibao, Zixia decided to go all out and stepped into the great hall with light footsteps, standing in front of him and said coyly,

"Senior brother, there’s something I want to tell you..."

"Go ahead, we have been senior and junior siblings for many years, why be so careful when speaking? Speak up quickly."

Urged on by senior brother Tai Shibao, Zixia finally spilled the beans,

"Senior brother, this time master sent us down the mountain to travel and to participate in the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master. Since I separated from you after we left the mountain, when passing by Dog Head Peak, I encountered two Demons and almost got killed. Fortunately, a young master named Li Ping’an saved me. Seeing his talent for cultivation, I took him as my nominal disciple..."

Senior brother Tai Shibao interrupted on purpose when he heard this,

"Taking a disciple is your own business, and all our Qingyun Sect disciples are qualified to take nominal disciples, but has he passed the observation period?"

"That has not happened yet..."

Zixia hurried to speak up for Li Ping’an,

"Because Li Ping’an is kind-hearted, grateful, and is a genius in cultivation. When I first met him, he, a person without mana, was actually able to kill a third-order demon cultivator’s Demon Monster and even see ghosts. Moreover, he saved me from the Six Demons at Five Finger Mountain and Five Finger Peaks, so he definitely deserves to join our Qingyun Sect regardless of the norms."

Senior brother Tai Shibao responded indifferently,

"Listening to you, this Li Ping’an indeed seems to be a cultivation prodigy. If he could join our Qingyun Sect, no doubt he will bring honor to our sect in the future and possibly even compete with Pei Yuanjing of the Flame Cloud Sect!"

Zixia said joyfully,

"So, senior brother, you agree?"

Senior brother Tai Shibao looked at Zixia tenderly and helplessly,

"Silly girl, what’s the use of my agreement alone? I’m not the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect; I don’t have the final say. We have to tell master about it and ask him to decide."

Zixia exclaimed excitedly,

"Then when will you tell master for me? I don’t have the Telepathic Transmission Technique that you do."

"Let’s wait for a while then. It takes some time to use the Telepathic Transmission Technique. I’ll surely convey it to master for you."

Senior brother Tai Shibao didn’t really want to tell the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect about Zixia taking Li Ping’an as a disciple, so he deliberately made an excuse and gave her a veiled hint to leave.

Unaware of anything, Zixia became even more excited and took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to senior brother Tai Shibao, who asked in surprise,

"Junior sister, what’s this?"

"A letter..."

Then, bashfully bowing her head, clasping her hands together, and tapping her right foot nervously, she said in a coy manner,

"It’s just an ordinary letter. I miss master and have a lot to tell him, but I can’t contact him, so I’ve written all I want to say in this letter. Please help me deliver it to master."

"I see..."

Senior brother Tai Shibao squinted at the letter, recalling what he had overheard near Moyun Temple. He had guessed the contents of the letter but didn’t show his anger; instead, he pretended to be very passionate,

"Junior sister, you are indeed more pious towards master than I am, so much better."

"Then, please convey it to master soon, senior brother. Don’t forget."

"Don’t worry, if I can’t even handle such a trivial task, how could I face being called your senior brother?"

Senior brother Tai Shibao looked at Zixia with a doting smile,

"Little junior sister, you have a trial tomorrow, go back and rest. I’ll take care of this right away!"

"Senior brother, you’re the best, thank you so much!"

With the promise from senior brother Tai Shibao and because he had always doted on her, Zixia didn’t think much further and felt completely at ease. She then happily skipped away, already fantasizing about her and Li Ping’an’s grand wedding at Qingyun Sect, blessed by master, senior brothers and sisters, and junior siblings.

Still smiling, senior brother Tai Shibao glanced over his shoulder at the disappearing Zixia. Once he was sure she was far away, his expression immediately darkened, becoming very gloomy,

"Junior sister, you’ve even learned to deceive your senior brother now, that’s not good."

Senior brother Tai Shibao then sinisterly picked up the letter written by Zixia and opened it to read,

"Well, let’s see your little secret, shall we!"

"Cough cough!"

At the moment senior brother Tai Shibao saw the contents of the letter, which were exactly the same as what he had overheard earlier, he choked on his own breath, then spitefully glared at the letter’s contents and cursed,
