Chapter 91 Let's Go Down the Mountain (Request for Monthly Pass)
Misty Mountain, Main Hall of Daoless Sect.
Gazing at the four people before him.
Chu Yuan sat on the Sect Leader's throne, feeling somewhat puzzled at heart.
To be precise, his puzzlement stemmed from his honest second disciple, Zhang Han.
How long had he been away from the sect?
How had this second disciple changed so much?
With a swollen face and bruised nose.
Devoid of any presentable image.
And this third disciple, how had he become bald, and it seemed he had also become timid, keeping his head down and daring not to say a word.
In the time that he was away,
What on earth had happened??
Chu Yuan was utterly perplexed.
"Han'er, what happened to the injuries on your body?"
Chu Yuan looked at his honest disciple and asked.
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Han hesitated for a moment.
He still didn't plan on disclosing the truth to his Respected Master.
Having taken the position of the future Sect Leader from his eldest martial brother was dishonoring enough.
If he were to tattle as well, he would be far too inhumane.
Zhang Han wavered and discarded the idea of telling the truth.
"Respected Master! This disciple... fell down!"
Zhang Han spoke slowly.
"Fell down? Did you tumble from the gate all the way down the mountain?"
Chu Yuan was astonished.
With a bruised nose and a swollen face, he looked like he had been badly beaten.
Yet he claimed he fell.
"This..."
Zhang Han fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to reply.
Chu Yuan stared at Zhang Han for a long time.
On this trip, not only had he brought back numerous cultivation manuals for himself.
He had also brought back a chef.
But now, Chu Yuan felt he needed to bring back a physician as well.
Just one fall and one is left with a swollen face and bruised nose, if one were to fall a couple more times, it's feared one wouldn't survive.
It was necessary to bring back a physician.
Otherwise, if he were to take in even more useless disciples, within a year, the System wouldn't have even had a chance to assess them before they were dead from accidental falls.
Yes, he took note of this matter.
If he got the chance, he would definitely have to find a physician.
"Han'er, since you've fallen, then take your time to heal, there's no need to rush enlightenment."
"Alright, I came back just to see you all, and since there's nothing amiss, you may leave for now. Also, this person is the chef I have recruited, responsible for your daily meals."
"Qian Yuan, you're idle anyway, so take the chef for a walk around the Daoless Sect, help him get acquainted."
Chu Yuan finished speaking.
He waved his hand, signaling for the three disciples to depart.
"We will obey the Respected Master's orders."
The three naturally did not dare to disobey and respectfully accepted the command.
Li Ergang, who was standing to the side, seemed to want to say something.
But before he could speak.
Su Qianyuan walked over, and like lifting up a little chick, escorted the hefty man out.
Seeing this scene.
Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
This third disciple was a mortal, wasn't he?
How could he lift up a heavy man like Li Ergang? Born with divine strength?
Chu Yuan wanted to call out to Su Qianyuan to inquire in detail.
But his gaze inadvertently caught Ye Luo, who was still standing there.
The young man hadn't left.
Instead, he stood there obediently, as if waiting for everyone in the hall to leave.
Chu Yuan didn't concern himself with Su Qianyuan's matter anymore and remained seated on the Sect Leader's throne, wanting to see what Ye Luo was up to.
He felt it was time to expel this disciple from the sect.
Originally, he planned to coax Ye Luo's cultivation technique out of him before driving him out of the sect, but now that he had many secret manuals, there was no need to coax anything from Ye Luo.
The expulsion could proceed right away.
Chu Yuan pondered in secret.
Soon, the hall quieted down.
Only Chu Yuan, seated above, and Ye Luo, standing below, remained.
"Respected Master!"
Seeing that the hall was empty, Ye Luo took a step forward and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped.
"Luo Er, you didn't leave with the others. Do you have something on your mind?"
Chu Yuan asked in a calm and light tone.
"Respected Master, the disciple has already properly completed the task you entrusted to me, regarding the matter with Tianqing Sect. However, there were some complications."
Ye Luo sought to report back on the task his Respected Master had assigned him.
"No need to speak of it; I made a trip to Silver Moon City earlier and have understood all the details of the matter. You did very well,"
Sect Master Chu Yuan waved his hand from his throne.
When it came to this matter, he was at a loss for words.
The shopkeeper's explanation had been that he got carried away bragging and lying, and there was in fact no cheating at all.
Chu Yuan was thoroughly speechless when he heard this.
But there was not much he could say.
He could only insist that the shopkeeper be more honest in the future.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of Ye Luo standing in the hall.
Receiving these words of praise from his master, "you did very well,"
He felt that all his efforts up until now had been worthwhile.
However, the thought of his imminent departure from the Wayless Sect made his smile fade once more.
"Respected Master, there is another matter that I wish to seek guidance on,"
Ye Luo hesitated, but still proceeded to lay out his concern.
"What is it?"
Chu Yuan asked casually.
"Respected Master... do you, do you really wish for your disciple to leave the Wayless Sect?"
Ye Luo asked tentatively, filled with unease.
Uttering this sentence was harder for him than any of his arduous cultivation.
But after speaking the last word, he inexplicably felt a burden lifted from his shoulders.
No matter what, his Respected Master was still his Respected Master.
Whether he remained in the Wayless Sect or not!
Ye Luo felt as though a heavy weight had been taken off his shoulders.
However, seated above, Chu Yuan was completely baffled.
Hearing those words, Chu Yuan's first reaction was to wonder
how Ye Luo knew that he planned to ask him to leave the sect.
He couldn't recall ever mentioning it.
How did this boy come to know about it?
"You... you know already?"
Chu Yuan asked tentatively.
"Respected Master, your disciple knows,"
Ye Luo took a deep breath.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Inwardly he muttered, it really was so.
"Since you already know, then as your master, I... well, have little more to add. Luo Er, with your current abilities, you are more than ready to graduate. Staying in the Wayless Sect would only limit your potential. Prepare yourself and descend the mountain soon,"
Chu Yuan stated earnestly.
His Wayless Sect only recruited the untalented.
For a supreme talent like Ye Luo with a 'Physique Close to the Path', staying in the Wayless Sect was not beneficial for the sect nor for Ye Luo's own development.
Upon hearing this.
Ye Luo fell into silence.
A moment later, he spoke again.
"Then, Respected Master, this disciple asks for nothing else, only to serve by your side and stay in the Wayless Sect, may I?"
Ye Luo said through gritted teeth.
As long as his Respected Master agreed, he was willing to give up the position of Sect Master of the Wayless Sect, content just to serve by his side.
"Luo Er, be obedient and leave the mountain,"
Chu Yuan shook his head and gestured with his hand.
At those words, Ye Luo took another deep breath, lowered his head, and didn't know what to say.
Sect Master Chu Yuan, seated on his throne, did not wish to say much more and stood up to leave the Main Hall.
When he reached the entrance of the hall.
Chu Yuan paused, and with his back to Ye Luo, he spoke.
"Luo Er, after you descend the mountain, cultivate diligently. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you may come back to find me on the mountain, and I shall ensure your safety."
In Chu Yuan's vision,
He would one day become an invincible being. Should his disciple truly encounter trouble by then,
Chu Yuan would of course be willing to ensure his disciple's safety...
