Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Long Shadow City, a gloomy alley entrance.

Chu Yuan had approached not too far from the group of beggars.

The stench had already pervaded the air before he even got close.

Smelling this odor,

Chu Yuan couldn't help but wrinkle his brows.

No wonder the passersby around avoided this alley so much.

A doubt suddenly rose in Chu Yuan's heart.

These beggars had come to beg.

But with such a foul smell emanating from them, it was unlikely that anyone would approach them.

If no passersby approached, where would they get charity from?

Why not bathe and then come out to beg?

No, wait...

Chu Yuan paused, stunned.

If they didn't beg, where would they get the money to bathe and change?

And if they didn't bathe and change, how could they beg?

And if they didn't beg, how would they have money to bathe and change...?

A vicious cycle??

Chu Yuan shook his head, dispelling all these miscellaneous thoughts.

He endured the stench and walked inside.

The beggars with lifeless eyes gathered around as they saw someone like Chu Yuan walking in, clamoring to come over.

"Great lord, please give some money..."

"Great lord, I haven't eaten in four days, please give me something to eat..."

"Great lord..."

The beggars crowded around, crying out and begging.

Chu Yuan frowned, waved his hand, and let these beggars back away.

His storage bag was much cleaner than these beggars' bowls, aside from some Magical Treasures.

Yet they were begging from him.

It was already good enough that he wasn't begging from these beggars.

Chu Yuan walked straight up to the petite beggar he had just spotted.

Her face was dirty, her features indiscernible; only her gender as a female was apparent.

What Chu Yuan found strange was,

after getting closer to the beggar, he couldn't smell the stench anymore; instead, there was a faint fragrance.

The fragrance was somewhat pleasant.

But Chu Yuan couldn't identify what the fragrance was specifically.

"Can, can you spare me some money, great lord?"

The small beggar seemed timid, shaking as she spoke, holding a shabby bowl tremblingly held up.

"I can, but first, you need to answer me one question,"

Chu Yuan said with a serene expression, exuding an air of a wise person.

His eyes fixed on the small beggar, trying to discern something from her.

"Great lord, you, you ask,"

the small beggar said timidly.

"What's your name?"

Chu Yuan asked with a light laugh.

"Great lord, my name is Su Xi,"

the small beggar replied.

Hearing this,

Chu Yuan was momentarily taken aback.

Su Xi...

Surnamed Su.

He wouldn't accept those surnamed Ye.

He wouldn't accept those surnamed Zhang.

He wouldn't accept those surnamed Dantai.

This Su surname...

Although Su Qianyuan also betrayed him once, Su Qianyuan was influenced by Zhang Hanying and it wasn't truly Su Qianyuan's own betrayal.

Those surnamed Su, could barely be accepted.

Most importantly, this person was a beggar.

Taking any beggar as a disciple, it's unlikely they would ever succeed, right?

"Do you wish to take me as your master?"

With that thought, Chu Yuan revealed a smile.

Taking a beggar into the Sect.

After entering, if he could provide the beggar with food and drink, that would be quite good. At least better than being a beggar here; he wasn't really deceiving someone into joining the Sect.

He was doing this for the beggar's own good!

"Ah? My lord, what?"

The small beggar 'Su Xi' was taken aback and couldn't quite grasp what was happening.

"I said, would you like to take me as your master and come with me to East State for Cultivation?"

Chu Yuan spoke with a smile.

"Can, can I really do that?"

Su Xi doubted she had heard correctly.

A Cultivator Sect wanted to take her as a disciple?

Impossible, she was just a beggar.

This must be a common mortal sect, right?

"Of course! As long as you are willing, then absolutely so! Come, follow me and let's leave,"

Chu Yuan said, smiling as he extended his hand.

"I..."

Su Xi felt touched inside; after hesitating for a while, she slowly placed her palm onto Chu Yuan's.

So warm...

That was Su Xi's first reaction upon grasping Chu Yuan's hand.

"Let's go, Ao Yu? Ao Yu!"

Seeing this, Chu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, turned around to call for Ao Yu, but didn't receive any response after shouting his name.

He turned only to find Ao Yu had disappeared.

His face immediately darkened.

Where had that guy run off to?

As Chu Yuan was speechless,

a voice sounded in the distance.

"Sect Master! I am here!"

Ao Yu was seen hurrying over, walking on air.

The commoners around, witnessing Ao Yu walking on air, were frightened and knelt on the ground, calling him an Immortal.

Seeing Ao Yu behaving in such a high-profile manner, Chu Yuan's mouth twitched.

The next moment, Ao Yu hastily came to Chu Yuan's side.

"Sect Master, I'm here!"

Ao Yu said.

"Let's go, transform into a dragon and take us back,"

Chu Yuan commanded, waving his hand.

Transform into a dragon??

Ao Yu was suddenly dumbfounded.

He really wanted to say he wasn't a mount.

But facing Chu Yuan...

He didn't dare to speak up.

Alright then...

This would be the last time!

The last time to be ridden!

He needed to find an opportunity to talk to Sect Master Chu about this!

Ao Yu took a deep breath, his figure moved, transforming into a beam of light, changing into an enormous Canglong dragon.

Wow!!!

The Canglong soared into the sky, uttering a strange roar, bringing about a commotion of wind and clouds, and soon, a mass of dark clouds gathered as if a downpour was imminent.

The Canglong soared for a while, then extended its dragon head out from the clouds and landed in front of Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan grabbed the shocked Su Xi and jumped onto the dragon's head.

Seeing this, Canglong took to the sky once more, circling the skies above Long Shadow City before disappearing into the clouds.

In Long Shadow City, countless ordinary people knelt down, as if they were praying for something...
