Chapter 35: Sect Master's Decision! Lu Yanyu's First Time?
Chapter 35: Sect Master's Decision! Lu Yanyu's First Time?
" I… I guess Sect Master found out the truth." Long Ming kept his head lowered with his cupped fist. " If you give me a chance, I can explain…"
" Haha, Perhaps you are afraid that I will accuse you of stealing the technique from our Scripture Pavilion?"
With a light tone, she walked toward Long Ming without a calm face.
" How amusing. Even with my divine sense, I can't see your cultivation base. But I can feel your physical body is…strangely weak."
Long Ming didn't dare to move, but he was secretly astonished. He was amazed by the fact that even the Sect Master of Four Seasons Valley can't see his cultivation.
' Strange… I don't have that sort of aura concealing treasures. Could it be… My Shadow Dragon Breathing Method?'
Long Minhg realized that after he cultivated the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method to its peak, no one could see his cultivation at all. That meant someone detecting him as a weak mortal is very small, even for powerful cultivators.
' So, It wasn't all useless at all. The Shadow Dragon Breathing Method really got its advantage, huh?' Long Ming adjusted his breath as his Desolate Immortal Aura was on full display.
The Sect Master raised her brows when she saw Long Ming's polite, but calm expression.
' Hmm, I can see his physical body is pretty weak. However, His cultivation base… I don't think he is using any sort of aura concealing treasure.'
' That peaceful face, he didn't get any a shred of fear on his face. Could it be… He already predicted my reaction?' She thought inwardly.
" I know how you got the technique." The Sect Master spoke in a calm voice. " You got the inheritance of our ancestors from the Ancestral Tablet, no?"
" Sect Master is wise." Long Ming looked at her as he spoke with a polite tone. " My dao comprehending ability is somewhat competent. When I sat before the tablet, I could feel myself resonating with the Ancestral Tablet."
" I saw many scenes flashing before my eyes. I saw the Founder of Four Seasons Valley, Along with the Second Empress and others."
" Finally, A voice spoke to me: Oh, The fated one… Since you were able to resonate with us, we are giving you the duty to revive the Four Seasons Valley."
Long Ming's voice was calm but firm…At least on the outside. However, his heart was pounding wildly.
' Heh, I already laid my cards. Are you going to disrespect your ancestors? They already told you how important am I, right?' Long Ming cackled in his heart.
" While I do understand what you spoken is true… You are still an outsider." The Sect Master sighed as she gently caressed the hilt of her sword.
" What if you spread the core techniques of Four Seasons Valley outside? That would be very disastrous."
" I… I can make an oath. I will certainly not betray the sect." Long Ming replied. But his anxiousness increased.
' Whoa? Lady, You are not following the script! I got the inheritance! Are you going to defy your ancestors?!'
" Even the heavenly oath can be broken if correct measures were taken. Therefore, I would rather not take any risk." The Sect Master spoke.
Long Ming chuckled lightly as he took a deep sigh. " I shall await your decision, Sect Master. As I heard you, You are someone who upholds justice and walks on the path of righteousness."
" I am sure that what you will choose will be good for both the sect and me."
The Sect Master couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. " Hmm, How amusing. Even at this stage, You are talking so calmly. Your heart is truly firm."
" Fine, I give you a better choice than dying." She spoke. " Be a disciple of Four Seasons Valley."
Long Ming raised his brows when he heard that. " I believed Four Seasons Valley strictly focuses on female cultivators?"
However, Even if Long Ming said that It was simply a golden opportunity for him. No way he is going to let it go.
" Not to mention, If I become an ordinary disciple, There will be many people who will raise opposition regarding me using such high class techniques."
The Sect Master was startled as her eyes narrowed. " Well, What you said isn't incorrect at all. Perhaps you are thinking of being my disciple?"
" I didn't say anything like that. I was simply raising my concerns."
The Sect Master hummed as she turned around. " Three days, Three days later, You will compete with a Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."
" If you defeat her, You will be my True Disciple. And if you lose, You will be merely an Outer Sect disciple with no status." She spoke without looking at him.
" But believe me, If you became an Outer Sect Disciple, I will simply make you a slave and squeeze out everything from you."
The Sect Master vanished from her position, leaving only Mu Qinglian and Long Ming behind.
Long Ming let out a breath of relief as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Well? That was very unexpected."
" It was even more unexpected that you got enlightenment from the Ancestral Tablet." Mu Qinglian snorted lightly. " But, are you confident of defeating a Core Disciple?"
" Why not? I think it's pretty easy for me." Long Ming smiled. Mu Qinglian looked at him for a moment as she sighed.
" You are truly someone who can hide things well, huh? You like acting like a pig to eat a tiger?"
Long Ming chuckled. " Hmm, I wonder too. But since the test is over, How did I do it?"
" You passed with flying colors." Mu Qinglian spoke with a light smile.
" Then, Let's go. I have a lot of things to talk about."
As they returned to Eternal Spring Tower, Long Ming got a lot of information.
Around twenty thousand years ago, A cultivator comprehended the essence of nature and cultivated the Dao of Four Seasons, becoming the Heavenly Emperor of that generation.
Before ascending to the higher plane, he established a sect called Four Seasons Valley.
After the Four Seasons Emperor, The Four Seasons Valley produced another Heavenly Empress, Empress Winter Song.
Eight thousand years ago, they produced the third Heavenly Empress, Empress Crimson Sky.
The Four Season Valley, Created by a Heavenly Emperor. And it also produced two Heavenly Empress. In its heyday, It dominated the entire Eastern Province of Rain Dragon Continent.
However, five thousand years ago, a calamity struck the sect, reducing its power by half.
' The Sky Martial Tower of the north is the true enemy of Four Seasons Valley. Not to mention, The Holy Qilin Empire is also looking at us with greedy eyes." Mu Qinglian spoke.
" Although we were able to defend ourselves, this Imperial Tournament is very crucial for us. If we lost, We are going to lose many of our resources. That will be equivalent of cutting our lifeline."
" Is this the same for Flower Boat Festival?"
" Yes.' Mu Qinglian nodded. " Perhaps you don't know, But, The Blissful Heaven Temple is in fact, A sect created to keep Four Seasons Valley in check."
" The disaster of thousand years ago destroyed many of our techniques and treasures. Therefore, Master is pleasantly surprised to find out that you managed to retrieve a powerful Royal grade technique."
" But, Why didn't you tell me, huh?"
Long Ming rubbed under his nose. " Miss Mu, After Flower Boat Festival, I was naturally going to tell you."
" Hmm…Is that so? I hope you were telling the truth." Mu Qinglian spoke as both of them landed on the terrace of Eternal Spring Tower.
" Hohoho, Little Qingqing, You are here. Big Sis was really missing you, you know?"
Meng Zhi chuckled as she saw Mu Qing Lian and Long Ming. " The Flower Boat Festival is tomorrow. Little Brother Long, You already prepared everything."
" However, Why didn't you do anything for Lu Yanyu?" She was a bit confused. " After all, She is our star."
" Well, Good things are always reserved to the last, no?" Long Ming grinned. " I was going to do something for her today."
" And, What is it?" Meng Zhi asked curiously. " The performance of other girls are top notch. I wonder what will be the role of Lu Yanyu will be?"
" Hehe, You will know soon." Long Ming waved his paper fan as he walked toward the room Lu Yanyu.
Lu Yanyu wore a loose dress as she was lying on a sofa. Hearing the knock, She understood who had come.
" Lu Yanyun greets Master Long."
Lu Yanyu gave a light bow to Long Ming as she smiled. Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he could see a good amount of skin under her loose robe.
" Honestly speaking, Seeing all of my sisters' performances, I am quite surprised. I never thought Young Master Long is someone who is so proficient in the art and culture."
" Well, You can say I am talented in multiple fields." Long Ming sat beside a zither as he caressed its string gently.
" Miss Lu is an expert of zither, hm?"
" You can say I have some attainments." Lu Yanyu didn't deny. Long Ming nodded as he started to play the zither.
" Then, I will teach you a tune. I hope you can play it."
" Uh…Miss Lu?"
Long Ming's body quivered as he felt Lu Yanyu was hugging him from behind.
" Young Master Long, You must teach me this piece no matter what…" Her voice was soft and sultry as her palms roamed around his body.
" If I win the Flower Boat Festival this time… I will give my first time to you, Young Master."
Long Ming was stunned as he felt his brain entered a 4D space.
' ??? What the fuck you are on, lady?'
