Book 2: Chapter 1.2: The Work Of Junior Disciples
“When Uncle Ancestor returned, he immediately closed the door to refine the pill and make a breakthrough.”
The third elder Bie Yunzi whispered:
“Patrol disciples said that when he returned, he still had traces of fierce fighting. Let’s not disturb him… just in case he succeeded in advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.”
“Haha, we’ve acknowledged our Uncle Ancestor for hundreds of years. It all ended up the same: he closed the door for three days, achieved nothing more than a breakthrough.”
Jue Yunzi said what desperately would let him be beaten by Bai Qiuran.
“Go and bring that little girl along! let’s go to Seven Stars Peak to greet Uncle Ancestor.”
“Senior brother, it’s not good to do this.”
As the other elders followed the Jue Yunzi walking towards the door, the third elder Bie Yunzi, the most honest one, raised his hand.
“Hold on! Uncle Ancestor’s love life is his own freedom. As juniors, we should not interfere with it … are you really not afraid of being beaten?”
“Third junior brother, you are always the problematic one.”
Jue Yunzi pointed to the nose of Bie Yunzi and said:
“When we were still disciples, it was you who went out to snitch the most times! Walk around if you aren’t interested. Brothers and sisters, let’s go.”
So for the old but unmannered Qingming sect leader, along with other elders, went down to the new student disciples’ settlement.
The head of the sect and the elder’s arrival made these new disciples anxious, but Jue Yunzi also had a great deal of experience with these tender young people. After saying a few encouraging words, they pulled Tang Ruowei, and flew to the Seven Stars Peak where Bai Qiuran lived alone.
Tang Ruowei followed a group of top authorities in Qingming Sword Sect and came to the simple courtyard outside Seven Stars Peak.
She stared blankly at the head of Qingming Sword Sect while standing in line with the elders, waiting outside the gate of the other courtyard said to be Bai Qiuran’s residence. These elders also said that Bai Qiuran shouldn’t be disturbed and none dared to knock the door.
After looking at it for a long time, the girl finally couldn’t help it, and asked the sixth elder Qing Yunzi, who looked the kindest:
“Well, the sixth elder, does Bai Qiuran have a high status in our Sect?”
“High status? Of course.”
Qing Yunzi whispered and answered:
“Uncle Ancestor is the disciple of Qingming Sword Sect’s founder, thus he has a higher status than anyone in our Sect.”
“Then why is he still in the Qi Refining stage?”
Tang Ruowei asked.
“This… Uncle Ancestor is in a special situation, but he is definitely not weak.”
Qing Yunzi reminded with a smile:
“Ah, cultivation level is a sensitive topic for Uncle Ancestor. You better not say about that in front of him.”
“Oh.”
Tang Ruowei nodded blankly.
She originally thought that although Bai Qiuran was strong, Qingming Sword Sect was a famous super-cla.s.s Sect after all. No matter what, a Qi Refining stage cultivator was in the middle position at most. But she did not expect all elders of the sect to treat him with so much respect, which made her somewhat unaware of how to face Bai Qiuran next.
Tang Ruowei and this group of elders waited for a while on Seven Stars Peak, and finally, when the sun reached the top of the sky, the gate of the other courtyard was pushed open from the inside.
