Chapter 17: The Grand Elder Is Definitely Not A Bootlicker!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Several days later…
A figure stood between the hills outside Springfield City. The figure wore a white robe and had long hair that draped over his shoulders. His bearing was ethereal and otherworldly.
He was like a peerless immortal that was taking a trip in the mortal world.
He was Chu Yuan.
Behind Chu Yuan was Zhang Han, who was following him closely.
During the past few days, Zhang Han had acknowledged Chu Yuan as his Master and was willing to follow him back to the sect to cultivate.
After freeloading in the Zhang family’s mansion… Ahem, no… After resting for a few days at the Zhang family’s mansion, Chu Yuan had decided to bring Zhang Han back to the sect to hoodwink him.
However, before returning to the sect, Chu Yuan had decided to take a trip to the nearby mountain range.
Back in Springfield City, he had learned that some cultivators were extremely dangerous. There were countless cases of murder and robbery committed by cultivators.
Chu Yuan… was also planning to be one of them.
He had no choice. He was too poor.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he didn’t even have a decent cultivation technique. He could only kill and rob to get what he needed!
“Disciple, is the Xuantian Mountain Range in this direction? Come, I’ll take you there. The first lesson I want to teach you is to let you experience the world of cultivators.”
Chu Yuan extended his finger from his wide sleeve and pointed in a direction, his eyes filled with excitement.
Killing and robbing—this was the first time he would do something like this.
He was a little excited.
“Yes, Master.”
Zhang Hanwen agreed. His eyes were calm as an ancient well as if nothing could affect his state of mind.
He had not cultivated for more than ten years.
Perhaps compared to his peers, his cultivation was the lowest.
However, he had been honing his mental state continuously over the past ten years.
When Chu Yuan heard his reply, he didn’t say anything more. He used his Dharmic powers to wrap up Zhang Han. Clouds formed under his feet, and like a gust of wind, they headed toward the Xuantian Mountain Range.
At the same time, in the Qian Emperor Dao Sect’s main hall…
A piece of news had entered the ears of the upper echelons of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect.
Someone had found traces of the Sect Leader of the hidden sect.
When this piece of news spread, the Qian Emperor Dao Sect’s upper echelon instantly exploded into discussions.
The Grand Elder held the portrait in his hand and faced the Elders and the Sect Leader.
“A disciple of our sect discovered this piece of news while traveling. He discovered a person who looked exactly like the person in the portrait in the mortal world’s Springfield City three days ago.
“However, this person is only at the Nascent Soul stage and doesn’t look as domineering as in the portrait. From the outside, he looks like an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator without any outstanding qualities!” the Grand Elder said in detail.
Many Elders spoke up.
“Could it be that they just look alike? Could it be that they aren’t the same person?”
“That is not very likely. I personally think that this is what a hidden expert should look like. A hidden expert can’t walk so openly. Acting as a Nascent Soul cultivator in the mortal world very much suits the behavior of a hidden expert!”
“I also feel that the Nascent Soul stage is deliberately faked. This Sect Leader of the hidden sect clearly does not want to be disturbed.”
They discussed fervently.
In the end, they all came to a conclusion.
This Sect Leader of the hidden sect did not want to be discovered by others. Thus, he deliberately pretended to be in the Nascent Soul stage, hiding in the mortal world.
After coming to this conclusion, the Elders were in a dilemma.
The Sect Leader of the hidden sect obviously did not want anyone to disturb him.
However, they had finally managed to find the other party after a Herculean effort.
If they didn’t go and find him, wouldn’t their efforts be in vain?
Thus, they were unsure whether or not to come into contact with him.
No matter how they thought about it, they could not make a decision.
In the end, everyone in the hall looked toward the Sect Leader of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect, hoping that he could make the decision.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan frowned. He couldn’t understand what was going on. To be honest, he wasn’t willing to give up and leave the hidden expert alone. As he thought about it, he suddenly had an idea.
Sect Leader Qian narrowed his eyes and said slowly, “Yes! Since this Sect Leader of the hidden sect likes to hide in the secular world, it’s not convenient for us to disturb him. However, we can go and meet him ‘by chance’!”
A coincidental encounter!
Although they couldn’t disturb this hidden Sect Leader, that didn’t mean they couldn’t meet him coincidentally!
Furthermore, they could also explain that their coincidental encounter was fate.
If so, this Sect Leader couldn’t possibly refuse, right?
And if they were to meet this hidden Sect Leader coincidentally, who knew what this hidden Sect Leader would teach them if he was in a good mood?
It had to be known that a sect with 10,000 years of heritage was terrifying. Even if it was a small page that came from the sect’s heritage, it would also benefit them greatly!
That thought excited the Elders.
“Sect Leader, Sect Leader, let me be the one this time!”
“Bullsh*t, let me go. Sect Leader, even though I look bright and beautiful on the surface, I am actually a bootlicker behind the scenes. Let me be the one to meet him! I will definitely bootlick this Sect Leader of the hidden sect to make him feel comfortable with us…”
“Sect Leader, let me go!”
As Sect Leader Qian Yuan listened to the many Elders fighting over the chance to be the one to meet the hidden Sect Leader, he fell silent again.
He did not know who to choose.
In reality, he wanted to go himself.
This was not about seeking benefits. The most important reason was that he wanted to be a bootlicker for once.
However, he had to deal with the affairs of the entire Qian Emperor Dao Sect and couldn’t leave.
There was no way they could ‘coincidentally’ meet.
After a long discussion, it was settled that the Grand Elder would be the one to go again.
Since he couldn’t go himself, Sect Leader Qian Yuan didn’t want these bootlicking Elders to go either.
Therefore, he chose the Grand Elder, who appeared to be a person of virtue and prestige. He believed that the Grand Elder, who was known for his solemnity, would not be a bootlicker.
That’s right, Sect Leader Qian Yuan was very sure that the Grand Elder was not a bootlicker.
If someone as serious as the Grand Elder knew how to suck up to people, then he, Sect Leader Qian Yuan, would swallow all the pillars in this hall.
Devour them raw!
He wouldn’t be called a human if he even chewed on the pillars!
When the Grand Elder obtained this opportunity, his expressionless face revealed a trace of excitement as he said, “Sect Leader, I will complete this mission. The Daoless Sect and the Qian Emperor Dao Sect will definitely form a friendly relationship!”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan didn’t think much of it at first, but when he heard the Grand Elder’s reply, he immediately had a bad feeling.
Was he too careless?
He then shook his head to get rid of the bad thoughts.
Sect Leader Qian Yuan said calmly, “Grand Elder, why don’t you bring some of your disciples along with you? Pretend that you’re going on a training expedition. Since we are planning to run into him coincidentally, we should act like it. Remember not to expose yourself. If we become enemies with the Daoless Sect because of you, I will not forgive you!”
The Grand Elder nodded and agreed. “I heard that the Sect Leader of the hidden sect has left Springfield City and is heading toward the Xuantian Mountain Range. I will set off for the Xuantian Mountain Range and meet him there!”
Sect Leader Qian Yuan nodded and didn’t say anything.
What a pity, this opportunity could have been his. It was all because of this damned Sect Leader’s identity that he couldn’t go. If he didn’t have this job, he would be the one licking the hidden sect master’s boots…
