Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

On the colossal island.

The attic, third floor.

When several representatives thought about this issue, they were utterly plagued with headaches.

Where would they find a Superior Spiritual Treasure for every single disciple?

If they didn't, wouldn't that mean their Zhongzhou Hidden Sect was inferior to the East State Hidden Sect?

The individuals were at a loss and planned to report the news to their respective Sect Masters, leaving the headache to them.

But before they could start reporting,

Several extremely concealed streaks of light flew straight towards them.

Catching the flying lights, their expressions grew increasingly complex as they exchanged glances and began to communicate through telepathy once again.

"Did you... also receive it?"

"Received a message from my Sect Master... Don't tell me you received it too?"

"I feel like we all received the same message. Those Sect Masters are probably spying on the battle of the disciples from the Hidden Sect of Dongzhou."

"We really all received the same message? My Sect Master actually told me to prepare a Superior Spiritual Treasure for each disciple participating in the battle from our Sect. We have five disciples fighting this time, where am I supposed to get five Superior Spiritual Treasures for them?"

"Exactly! Even if you sell me, I don't have five Superior Spiritual Treasures! Why don't we just cut our losses and directly pledge allegiance to the Wayless Sect?"

"Good grief, that's your real thought, isn't it? It has nothing to do with whether or not there are Spiritual Treasures, right?"

Their exchanges were all done through telepathic communication.

While they were communicating via telepathy,

A voice sounded from outside the third floor.

"Wuji Holy Land Master Lin Bu requests an audience with Senior Chu!"

Chu Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged and pondering over some matters, instantly snapped back to reality and looked up towards the entrance of the third floor.

Wuji Holy Land??

Why does that sound so familiar...

It seems I've heard it somewhere...

Right!

That disciple Ye Wu, who scurried around like a mouse in battle with Su Qianyuan, seems to come from this Wuji Holy Land!

Now, the Holy Land Master has come looking for him...

Is it possible that Su Qianyuan won against that Ye Wu, and the Holy Land Master can't accept the loss, so he's come to trouble him??

How dare he??

He's outwardly known as the East State Hidden Sect Master after all. That tiger's skin should be quite effective, so why would anyone dare to trouble him?

What should I do now??

Should I pretend not to hear?

Chu Yuan fell into deep thought, temporarily at a loss for words.

However, Ao Yu suddenly spoke up beside him.

"Sect Master, someone is requesting to see you."

Ao Yu said directly.

With that,

Chu Yuan wished he could pin Ao Yu to the ground and rub him into the dirt.

Do you think I'm deaf?

I heard it just fine...

Reminded by Ao Yu in such a manner,

Chu Yuan himself felt too embarrassed to pretend not to have heard.

Especially with several Zhongzhou Hidden Sect representatives watching, he felt awkward not speaking.

Forcing down the embarrassment, he waved his hand towards Ao Yu.

"Let him in," Chu Yuan said slowly.

After speaking,

He shifted his body slightly, positioning himself in front of Su Xi.

Just in case a fight really did break out, he didn't want his precious disciple to get hurt.

This was the first disciple he was about to spoil.

On the other side,

Upon hearing his Sect Master speaking, Ao Yu quickly stood up and went to open the grand doors of the third floor.

As he opened the door, he saw Lin Bu standing right behind it.

"Please, my Sect Master has permitted you to enter," he said.

Ao Yu spoke.

Standing outside the gate, Lin Bu quickly nodded and stepped inside.

Upon entering the third floor, Lin Bu saw the representatives from the Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou and nodded to them in greeting as he made his way to Chu Yuan. He lowered his stance and performed the salute of a junior.

"Lin Bu pays respect to Senior Chu!"

Lin Bu said repeatedly.

"Lin Bu, do you acknowledge your guilt?"

Chu Yuan asked expressionlessly.

He intended to make a pre-emptive strike to overwhelm the other party.

Lin Bu, who was about to speak, was now speechless.

Although he knew that he was here to apologize because his disciple was dodging and darting during the duel, in reality, that was just an excuse.

Strictly speaking, wasn't it your disciple who cheated using the Spiritual Treasure?

How can you be so bold as to question me about wrongdoing?

A senior is indeed a senior.

Even in this, you can be so imposing and authoritative.

"Lin Bu acknowledges his guilt!!"

Lin Bu hurriedly said as he performed the salute.

"And what guilt do you acknowledge?"

Chu Yuan asked with an unchanging expression.

"I acknowledge… Oh, it is Lin Bu asking for forgiveness on behalf of his disciple Ye Wu!"

Lin Bu said, suddenly realizing.

"So what is the crime of your disciple?"

Chu Yuan persisted, unforgiving, as he spoke.

"My disciple… my disciple ran too fast, that is the crime…" Lin Bu spoke haltingly.

"Is that considered a crime?"

"That… that should count."

"Then isn't coming to bother me also a crime?"

"Lin Bu acknowledges his guilt!"

"If it's nothing, don't come over! You may leave!"

"This… Senior Chu, please allow this junior to apologize."

"So how do you wish to apologize?"

"These… these are some tokens of apology from this junior, please accept them, Senior."

Lin Bu took out a token that appeared to be made of emerald-like Spirit Stone from his chest and passed it to Chu Yuan.

Made of Spirit Stone?

Upon seeing the token, Chu Yuan nonchalantly accepted it and pulled Lin Bu to his feet.

"What's all this talk of apologizing? We are all cultivators; there's no need to talk about apologies among us, enthusiasm is the norm in the Cultivation Realm!"

"Come, have a seat."

Chu Yuan pocketed the token as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Senior Chu. However, about that token…" Lin Bu was about to explain the purpose of the token.

Before he could explain,

Chu Yuan interrupted Lin Bu.

"I know all about it."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he knew it was made of Spirit Stone.

Lucky me, a token made of Spirit Stone, how much could that be worth? And judging by the quality, it's not just any Spirit Stone—it must be a Top-grade Spirit Stone at least.

This friend! someone named Chu has won him over!

I love this kind of person—simple, and, cough, very generous and open-handed.

"Right, how could Senior Chu possibly not know about this? My mistake."

Lin Bu was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to a realization and relaxed.

The one before him was on the level of an 'old monster'.

It wasn't surprising that he knew these things.

However, the others seated nearby started to feel somewhat uneasy after seeing that token…
