Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Zhongzhou territory.

Atop a huge island, the residing peaks of the Wayless Sect.

At this moment, atop the grand hall.

Chu Yuan's mind had already made some calculations.

He slightly lowered his head to look at Su Xi, and at the worn puppet in her hand.

"Xi Er, are you really sure you want to cultivate the Puppetry Path?"

"Puppets are also known as marionettes. Rather than cultivating the Puppetry Path, it's more like cultivating the Path of Marionettes. What is the Puppetry Path? It is to control humans, monsters, heaven, and the Dao! To spread the marionette's strings throughout the world, making all things subject to your control—that is the Puppetry Path!"

"This path is strong, but it is also difficult to cultivate. Only those with great determination and great wisdom can practice it. I ask you one last time—are you really sure you want to cultivate this path?"

Chu Yuan spoke slowly.

"Master, Respected Master, this puppet was left to me by my brother. It has always been with me, and I—I want to cultivate it."

Su Xi was still a bit nervous, but there was determination in her tone.

"Good! Worthy of being my disciple, daring to challenge difficulties head-on!"

Chu Yuan nodded with great satisfaction.

He had already laid the groundwork.

This path, it's hard to cultivate.

So if you can't achieve anything, it has nothing to do with me. It's just that the path is difficult.

Regarding this so-called Puppetry Path, Chu Yuan could not care less.

Puppets? Toys!

To cultivate with a toy and achieve mastery?

Someone named Chu might as well cease to live, return to the Wayless Sect, and smash himself with a stone to death.

"However, this is not the territory of our sect, so you can only perform the most basic cultivation for now. Later on, your Master will arrange for some marionettes for you to—ahem—research thoroughly first."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Respected Master, the disciple will surely follow Master's guidance and cultivate diligently!"

Su Xi nodded quickly.

In fact, she half-understood.

But she did not dare to ask anything, only thinking of studying it thoroughly later on.

"Hmm, very good. You should also go clean yourself up and change into clean clothes. Just wait, your Master will have someone prepare for you."

Chu Yuan stood up and walked out of the grand hall.

Su Xi was just about to say something.

Just then.

A clamor came from outside the grand hall.

Su Xi suddenly became tense, moving closer to Chu Yuan, fearful and uneasy.

Chu Yuan looked up towards the entrance of the hall.

He saw Ye Luo and the other three walking in.

The four disciples were originally happy to see their Master in the grand hall, but when they suddenly noticed the grubby little girl beside their Master, they all paused, startled.

Who is this…

The Master's new disciple?

They all had a hunch, but they didn't stay surprised for too long and quickly regained their composure.

"Disciples pay respects to Respected Master!!"

The four disciples all bowed.

Seeing this scene.

Chu Yuan on the opposite side did not share their good mood.

Seeing these four disciples walking together, like a little team, made him somewhat angry.

Birds of a feather flock together!!

Aside from Dantai Luoxue, all these disciples had levels of their realm stripped by him!

If it weren't for this Wan Zong Grand Competition, he wouldn't have even discovered this accomplished disciple, Dantai Luoxue, in time!!

Fortunately, he discovered her in the nick of time.

Otherwise, it would have been another grand level of the realm deducted!!

Chu Yuan thought about these things, how could his mood be good.

But in front of these disciples, he couldn't show anything.

"Hmm, you've returned?"

Chu Yuan said, nonchalantly.

"Yes, Respected Master, all disciples have already passed the first round of the competition. After the eliminated ones are dealt with, we can proceed to the second round," Ye Luo stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Hmm... good,"

Chu Yuan, enduring the pain caused by the loss of tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, nodded and said.

"Respected Master, is this the new disciple you've taken in, our Little Junior Sister?"

Zhang Han asked with a smile, his gaze falling on the somewhat timid Su Xi.

In his view, these were forces that the Sect Master was gathering for his future rule over the Wayless Sect.

Even though the little girl looked dirty and ordinary,

once in the hands of the Sect Master and accepted as a disciple, she would surely become strong rapidly.

She would definitely become a pillar of the Wayless Sect in the future!

"Indeed, her name is Su Xi, my newly accepted disciple, and also your Little Junior Sister,"

Chu Yuan didn't say much, simply nodding in acknowledgment.

Upon hearing this,

the eyes of Ye Luo and the other three brightened.

Since the Sect Master had acknowledged her, that meant she was indeed their Little Junior Sister.

Looking at Su Xi, dressed in tattered clothes and dirty-faced,

they all became curious.

There must be something exceptional about her to have been taken in as a disciple by the Sect Master.

"Little Junior Sister Su Xi, right? I'm your Second Senior Brother. Why are you dressed like this, and holding a doll? Come on, let me take you to get changed into some clean clothes first,"

Zhang Han showed a warm smile, stepping forward intending to greet Su Xi.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo, you just focus on your cultivation. Luo Er, you take your Junior Sister and handle the changing of clothes,"

Chu Yuan quickly waved them off.

Are you kidding me? He dared to let Su Xi be led astray by someone as cunning as Zhang Han?

If by some misfortune she was led astray and ended up talented, wouldn't he be crying without a place to cry?

Compared to Zhang Han, he felt a bit more reassured with Ye Luo.

Yes, he thought that the Eldest Disciple was still not too bad.

Having Ye Luo take Su Xi to tidy up her appearance was acceptable.

"I will follow the Sect Master's orders,"

Ye Luo stepped forward, bowing to Chu Yuan.

Then he approached Su Xi, exchanged a couple of words in a friendly manner, basically inviting her to follow him.

Su Xi looked up at Chu Yuan,

and upon receiving a nod from him, she obediently followed Ye Luo out of the grand hall.

Chu Yuan watched Ye Luo and Su Xi leave, nodding to himself and was about to leave the grand hall,

when he suddenly thought of something, stopped in his tracks, and looked towards Zhang Han.

"Han'er, you shouldn't idle around either, go to the mundane city and buy some wooden dolls, and make sure to pick out the good-looking ones,"

Chu Yuan spoke.

Zhang Han: "..."

He suddenly felt like his Master had changed.

It was one thing not to let him look after his Junior Sister a bit, thus undermining his authority as a Senior Brother,

and now he was actually being ordered to go buy some wooden dolls.

The Master didn't love him anymore.

Or was it because he was to be the future Sect Master of the Wayless Sect, that the Master was more strict with him?

With many thoughts running through his mind, Zhang Han addressed Chu Yuan,

"I will carry out the Master's orders; I'll go in a while,"

Zhang Han dared not quibble in front of the Master.

He subtly made eye contact with Su Qianyuan and Dantai Luoxue as a signal, reminding them not to forget to bring up what they wanted to ask.

After finishing these tasks,

he respectfully exited the grand hall.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered to say anything more; he exchanged a few words with Su Qianyuan and Dantai Luoxue, advising them to cultivate well, and prepared to leave.

Just as Chu Yuan was about to step outside the hall, he was called back by Su Qianyuan.

"Respected Master, wait a moment please!"
