Chapter 215: Chapter 194, Taking Jingwei as a Disciple

Xuandu made a bowing gesture and said, "Thank you for taking action, Senior Brother. Without you, I would not know how to wrap up the matter between the Human Clan and Dragon Clan; chaos would likely have ensued."

"Senior Brother, you are overestimating me. Even without my intervention, the movements of the Demon Clan could not have evaded our Master’s eyes."

Xuandu forced a smile and said, "As the Emperor’s Master, when faced with a crisis, I was flustered and at a loss. I must have disappointed Master this time! Sigh~

I finally understand why Master favors you so differently. What seemed unsolvable to me, you easily found the root cause and resolved the conflict between the Humans and Dragons."

Found the root cause? Bai Jin subconsciously glanced westward. Without the Saints backing the Demon Clan, they would not dare to be so bold, but such matters could not be mentioned here.

Moments later, Bai Jin, Xuandu, and the East Sea Dragon King flew towards the Jingwei Bird.

Shennong, who was talking to the Jingwei Bird, slowly stood up, looking emotionally pained as he said, "Please take good care of my daughter from now on, Holy Envoy."

Bai Jin nodded, pointed a finger towards the Jingwei Bird, and whoosh—countless Merit Coins flew out, entering the Jingwei Bird’s body. The bird was immediately enveloped in a golden flame, dispelling the remnants of chaotic Demonic Qi.

"Whoosh~" The Jingwei Bird suddenly spread its wings, causing waves to rise, and soared into the sky, transforming into a ten-year-old girl in midair, appearing especially adorable with her delicate features.

Shennong called out excitedly, "My child~"

"Daddy~" The little girl immediately flew towards Shennong and buried herself in his embrace, her laughter ringing with joy.

Holding the girl who looked exactly like the Jingwei Bird before, Shennong truly felt the preciousness of regaining what was lost, holding her even tighter subconsciously.

After allowing them a moment of affection, Bai Jin said, "Jingwei, shall we go?"

Shennong let go of the girl reluctantly and said, "Go then! Listen to your Master in the future."

"Mhm!" Jingwei nodded solemnly.

Shennong gently tousled the girl’s hair and said softly, "Learn your skills well from your Master, and when you are strong, you can come to see me anytime."

Shennong gently pushed Jingwei forward.

Jingwei walked towards Bai Jin, knelt on the sea surface, and said, "Greetings, Master!" performing three prostrations and nine kowtows.

Bai Jin bent down to lift Jingwei up and said with a smile, "Rise!" This was the first time he formally took a disciple, and he felt unexpectedly excited.

Jingwei got up and stood by Bai Jin’s side, looking quite like a little adult.

Bai Jin took Jingwei’s hand and said, "Let’s go."

Jingwei nodded and glanced back at Shennong with reluctance.

Bai Jin then nodded respectfully at Xuandu and the East Sea Dragon King before taking Jingwei and drifting away towards the Jie Sect.

The others stood on the sea surface, watching as Bai Jin and Jingwei grew farther away until they disappeared.

Xuandu said leisurely, "Shennong, let’s go! With Senior Brother Bai Jin taking care of Jingwei, you have nothing to worry about."

Shennong nodded somberly and said, "Thank you for going to great lengths for my sake, implicating the whole Human Clan in a moment of impulsiveness. The crime is severe."

"Come with me to find healing herbs for the Human Clan!"

"Yes!" replied Shennong respectfully.

The Human Clan also left the East Sea and headed towards Chen.

The East Sea Dragon King stood on the sea surface, gazing deeply westward. Oh, Ao Han! His figure gradually sank, swallowed by the vast ocean waves.

Bai Jin, holding Jingwei’s hand, walked on the sea surface, calming all the waves they passed.

Jingwei looked ahead, silent, giving off a slightly aloof air.

Bai Jin coughed and said cheerfully, "Jingwei, how old are you?"

"Ten years old!"

"Ah, the prime of youth, the best time of life!"

"Master, you don’t have a Daoist couple, do you?"

Bai Jin replied with curiosity, "No, I don’t! My good disciple, what do you mean?"

"Nothing much, just that the way Master tries to make conversation is so outdated."

Hmm~ Bai Jin was momentarily speechless and thought, Did this unfortunate child just call me old?!

After walking for a while more, Jingwei asked, "Where are we going?"

"To the Jie Sect!"

Jingwei slightly furrowed her brows, her little face confused, and asked, "What is the Jie Sect?"

"The Jie Sect is a supreme Great Sect of the Primordial World, it’s your Master’s home, and soon it will be yours too."

"Mhm!" Jingwei nodded silently, thinking, my new home. Taking a quiet look at her Master, she thought, being with him shouldn’t be too bad.

The two ventured into the Jie Sect Sea Domain, occasionally encountering Jie Sect Disciples, all of whom bowed respectfully and cleared the way. As time passed, Bai Jin’s reputation in the Jie Sect grew increasingly formidable, almost like a cold and heartless Demon King, and the Jie Sect Law Enforcement Team was seen like the claws of a tyrant, loathed by many disciples.

Jingwei frowned and said, "They all seem to fear you."

"You don’t understand; this is called respect. They all respect your Master greatly."

Jingwei fell silent, thinking, I may be young, but I’m not stupid. At the same time, a feeling of foreboding started to bubble up within her. This Master doesn’t seem very popular! The future doesn’t look easy.

Together, they made their way to the Three Lights Immortal Island, and when they reached the Bird’s Nest, Bai Jin proudly said, "My good disciple, what do you think of this Tao Palace? Isn’t it beautiful?"

"Why is your Tao Palace called a Bird’s Nest?"

Bai Jin paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject, "It’s not important, come, let me show you the exquisite layout inside."

...

On Shouyang Mountain, Taishang was seated in the Artifact Refining Hall with a Tripod Furnace in the center. The Samadhi True Fire blazed fiercely within the furnace, and Zhenwu sat beside it, fanning the flames with a Palm Leaf Fan.
