Chapter 2366: Chapter 2386: Becoming a Martial Uncle Directly, It’s So Unreasonable!_1

Master Floating Cloud had said that so far, he had not told others about the calamity that was to come, so naturally, Lin Chen didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring it up.

Since he had taken Master Floating Cloud as his Master, it was his duty to respect his Master and value the Way and to defend his Master’s face. Therefore, Lin Chen had no qualms about shifting the reason for his apprenticeship onto himself.

He couldn’t very well say that he had only reluctantly agreed to take Master Floating Cloud as his Master after the latter had pleaded earnestly and sworn oaths, could he?

As expected, once Lin Chen said this, Master Floating Cloud’s originally taut facial skin suddenly relaxed a bit, and a light smile appeared on his face.

The kid gets it!

Even though Master Floating Cloud’s acceptance of a disciple was driven largely by the impending Dragon Mountain Sect disaster, the matter was by no means certain. Who would believe him if he said it?

If others knew that he had to sweet-talk and earnestly persuade someone to become his disciple, even making vows by the Heavenly Dao, where would he put his face as a Master?

Luckily, Lin Chen was sensible; he did not reveal any crucial information and even took the blame upon himself.

Looking for protection?

Afraid of being killed by others?

Rest assured, if anyone dares to bully you, I’ll go and flip their Sect entrance over.

Liuyun’s eyesight showed a hint of surprise, because he had interacted with Lin Chen and knew Lin Chen’s character. In his mind, Lin Chen was not someone who feared danger or liked to rely on others for protection. If he were, why wait until now?

Upon their first meeting, wouldn’t he have just directly taken Master Floating Cloud as his Master?

Master Floating Cloud went to the Camp entrance to wait for Lin Chen in advance, and after chatting like this for a while, Lin Chen became his disciple?

Liuyun looked at Master Floating Cloud, who remained silent with a smile, and thought to himself that surely the Senior Brother must have worried that Lin Chen would have a change of heart, thus he intercepted Lin Chen and said something to him, which in the end led Lin Chen to become a disciple.

If it were as Lin Chen said, why would his Senior Brother need to wait at the Camp entrance for him?

Liuyun absolutely didn’t believe that his Senior Brother had no plans regarding this.

Of course, Liuyun wouldn’t pry further. Regardless of the actual truth, Lin Chen becoming a disciple of Master Floating Cloud was a fact and, for the Dragon Mountain Sect, it was ultimately a good thing.

Not to mention the other factors, Lin Chen saved the disciples of the Three Sects, preventing a series of potential disastrous consequences that would have followed, which was a great favor for all three Sects. Now that Lin Chen had joined Dragon Mountain Sect, regardless of how the Sect itself treated Lin Chen, did the other two Sects owe him a favor, and now owed Dragon Mountain Sect a favor?

It wasn’t that Dragon Mountain Sect wanted to encash the favor owed by Lin Chen, but now that Lin Chen had joined them and become a disciple of Master Floating Cloud, his status was very sensitive, and his every action could not be treated as those of an ordinary disciple.

"Good for you, you’ve found an impressive backbone. If you let your Senior Brother handle Sect affairs, he’ll dodge faster than anyone. But if you want him to fight, he’ll be more eager than anyone. If someone bullies you, he certainly won’t let you suffer," said Lin Chen with a smile.

Lin Chen replied with a grin, "I definitely believe that."

It was only then that Master Floating Cloud, who had maintained a smile without speaking, opened his mouth, "Introduce yourself to the others as well."

Lin Chen did as he was told and then realized that, aside from the three with ’Cloud’ in their names, whom he could call Martial Uncles, all the others were Senior Brothers and Sisters, and many were even his Martial Nephews and Nieces.

Even Xuanhe, who could represent Dragon Mountain Sect on expeditions and was recognized by the outside world as a Disciple of Longshan Sect, had to respectfully bow to Lin Chen and call him Martial Uncle Lin Chen with proper etiquette.

His seniority had suddenly increased!

A feeling of being impressively awesome washed over him!

Lin Chen’s mood was subtly affected, and the eyes of the Dragon Mountain Sect disciples were also filled with subtleties.

They suddenly had a new Sect Elder?

The disciple of Dragon Mountain Sect’s number one powerhouse?

How come he’s so lucky, when they themselves couldn’t find such a Master even if they wished for it, yet he’s sought after and taken as a disciple—once wasn’t enough, but twice...

This was just beyond reason!

It was pure envy and jealousy!

After making these introductions, everyone sat down again, and Liuyun proactively started talking about their previous encounter with Ghost True Man.

"The Strength of Ghost True Man is indeed too formidable. Even from us three teaming up and managing to heavily injure him, we still couldn’t kill him, and he escaped by sheer force..."

"I’ve discussed it with Chenguang and Xuan Neng; initially, we gave you three tokens to help you resolve three life-and-death crises as repayment for saving Xuanhe and the others. But it turned out you used all three at once, and we haven’t captured Ghost True Man," he said.

"You used the three tokens hoping we could kill Ghost True Man and end the threat once and for all, but we didn’t manage that, so we plan to give you another three tokens, as if this incident never happened."

Master Floating Cloud interjected, "There’s no need for tokens from Dragon Mountain Sect; I’ll give him a token. Next time Ghost True Man dares to cause trouble, I’ll go myself. He calls himself ’Ghost True Man,’ right? I’ll turn him into a real ghost!"

Liuyun laughed, "This was the result previously agreed upon. Now that he has joined our Dragon Mountain Sect, he’s thoroughly one of our own, and this matter is different from before. Whether Buddhism and Taoism provide tokens is their business. We’ll definitely protect you. If anyone bullies you, they’ll be picking a fight with Dragon Mountain Sect!"
