Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Inside the grand hall.

After Chu Yuan spoke those words, he regretted them.

Had he lost his mind?

To claim out of the blue that a starfish was some kind of atypical puppet.

Who would believe such a thing if he said it out loud?

That Zhang Han really was something; sent to buy some puppets, he somehow ended up with an extra starfish,

If it weren't for this starfish, he wouldn't have had to spin such a far-fetched tale.

Chu Yuan felt a headache coming on as he lowered his head to look at Su Xi, who was holding the starfish.

He was afraid that the dignified image he had built up in front of his disciple would completely collapse.

But then, something Chu Yuan didn't expect happened.

Su Xi didn't show any signs of astonishment; instead, she nodded her head.

"Respected Master, disciple believes that this is indeed an atypical puppet,"

Su Xi said seriously.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan was thunderstruck.

This disciple...

Must have something wrong with her head.

She really believed the starfish was an atypical puppet?

This was definitely an issue of intelligence.

Even he could see through it, yet the disciple still hadn't figured it out.

But perhaps this was for the best...

The disciple might be a bit silly,

but this made things even more secure.

He didn't need to worry about being stabbed in the back by such a foolish disciple.

With this thought, Chu Yuan couldn't help but sigh with relief inwardly, and the tension in his heart eased.

This disciple seemed reliable.

He didn't need to worry about betrayal anymore.

"Hmm..."

"Xi Er, this is indeed an atypical puppet, and it's no ordinary puppet. Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance; this starfish contains a universe within, and it is a treasured item,"

"As for this treasured item's true function is… ahem, well, this item is very mysterious. If I were to reveal it, there's a risk of disclosing the secrets of heaven, and heaven and earth might even want to destroy it. For that reason, I won't speak of it. I hope that you, Xi Er, can comprehend its profound mysteries on your own."

As Chu Yuan spoke, he silently turned around, facing away from Su Xi.

He felt embarrassed speaking such words himself.

To inflate a regular starfish into such a grandiose thing...

He couldn't believe he could say it with a straight face.

He couldn't face Su Xi as he said those words.

"Yes, Respected Master, disciple will definitely contemplate it earnestly!"

Upon hearing how precious the starfish in her hand was, Su Xi's voice shook a little.

"Cough cough, very good, Xi Er. I have high hopes for you. As long as you work hard, your achievements will surely not be beneath those of your four senior fellow disciples!"

Seeing that Su Xi believed him, Chu Yuan quickly spoke again.

"Respected Master..."

Su Xi was clutching the starfish tightly in her hands, at a loss for what to say.

"Hmm? What is it?"

Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat guilty. Surely Su Xi hadn't suddenly wised up.

"For the great kindness and favor of the Respected Master, the disciple has nothing to offer in return. In the future, I will definitely serve by the side of Respected Master to repay your great kindness."

Su Xi's eyes were slightly red. Since she started her life of begging, no one had ever treated her so kindly.

This Respected Master was like a ray of light, illuminating her once utterly dark life of begging.

How could she not be grateful for this kindness?

But she felt that she had nothing to offer to repay her Respected Master at the moment, so she resolved to focus earnestly on her cultivation.

Upon hearing these words,

Chu Yuan silently exhaled in relief.

He had thought that Su Xi had spotted something amiss,

but it turned out she was just moved.

Suddenly, Chu Yuan felt that teaching such a naive disciple was quite comfortable.

Whatever you call them, geniuses or fools, each and every one is a sly fox.

Still, it's comfortable to teach a disciple whose intelligence isn't quite there.

This kind of disciple is sure to be a flop in training!

"Xi Er, there's no need to talk about these things anymore, just train well, and that will be the best reward for your master."

"In any case, Xi Er, remember that the path of cultivation is difficult, harder than ascending to the Azure Sky, and forging a path with the Way of the Puppet is even more challenging. The hardships are beyond words, and you must try your best to cultivate! Perhaps you won't see results in the short term, but if you persist, you will definitely succeed. Once you master the Puppetry Path, you will inherently stand on invincible ground, and this point you must always remember!"

Chu Yuan slowly began to speak.

This disciple's failure is already an inevitable event!

What's left is just to wait for the time to come when the realm increases!

Just waiting for the increase in realm!

"Disciple will carefully heed Respected Master's teachings!"

Su Xi nodded obediently.

"Good, then go and rest first, your temporary chamber is right next to your master's; when you leave the grand hall, turn right, and it's the fourth one over."

Chu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, Respected Master, then your disciple will take their leave now."

Su Xi was eager to study puppets, to cultivate and grow stronger, to repay her Respected Master's kindness, and also to gain the strength to confront some of her past.

Chu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that Su Xi could leave.

As Su Xi was about to leave, she looked at her storage bag and then at the dozens of puppets laid out on the ground. She was a bit embarrassed as she didn't know how to collect the puppets.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan immediately understood and helped her collect all the puppets.

Only then did Su Xi bow again and leave the grand hall in extreme embarrassment.

Chu Yuan watched Su Xi's retreating figure and shook his head.

This new disciple was not only lacking in intelligence, but also very shy, with a strong sense of pride.

Indeed, this kind of disciple is easier to train... into a failure.

Chu Yuan sighed for a while, then also left the grand hall to head to his own chamber.

His chamber was right next to Su Xi's.

This made it convenient for him to prevent other disciples from seeking Su Xi privately.

He intended to extinguish any possibility that might allow this new disciple to succeed!!

This new disciple would surely fail under his tutelage!

Someone named Chu has spoken!

No one, not even Jesus, could stop it!!

...

On the other side.

The four disciples of Wayless Sect, including Ye Luo, gathered in an open space on a mountain peak, sitting cross-legged.

"How's it going? Did you ask Respected Master about the Wu Clan and that other one, the Gonggong Clan?"

Ye Luo quickly asked.

"Before, Respected Master asked me to go out and take care of some business, and I asked the third junior brother to inquire. Third junior brother, did you ask?"

Zhang Han directly set his gaze upon Su Qianyuan.

With that said.

Su Qianyuan and Dantai Luoxue exchanged glances.

Dantai Luoxue shook her head slightly, signaling Su Qianyuan to speak.

Su Qianyuan stepped up to the plate without hesitation and recounted everything their Respected Master had previously told them.

After Ye Luo and Zhang Han heard this, they were full of emotions.

Gonggong turns out not to be a race? But rather a powerful being.

A being that existed even before ancient times.

"Speaking of this, do you know what's funny? After Respected Master told us all that, he added a line saying it was all just a legend. Now, isn't that humorous?"

Suddenly recalling something, Su Qianyuan touched his bald head and started to laugh.

Ye Luo and the other two couldn't help but smile.

They also somewhat understood.

Probably, Respected Master didn't want them to know about these matters.

That's why he added that it was only a legend.

Too bad Respected Master didn't know that they had already begun to speculate.

Now these remarks have only served to prove the era of Respected Master's existence.

Respected Master, indeed, is a being who spans through the ages!!
