Chapter 437: Reunion Between Master And Disciple

The night before Cornelia"s enthronement.

Jiu Shen and Theia sat on top of the clouds as they looked at the situation below. 

"I didn"t think that Yang Zenke would actually call for reinforcements. He even dragged the Heavenly Sword Division, Celestial Division, Pill Division, and the Punishment Division. But this is also good." Jiu Shen muttered to himself when he saw thousands of figures stepping out of the lotus building.

After Jiu Shen left the Profound Dragon Continent, the Heavenly Sword Tower has already conducted two more recruitment ceremonies. Many elite juniors from all over the Profound Dragon Continent partic.i.p.ated in the a.s.sessment, resulting in an influx of new disciples for the Heavenly Sword Tower.

He even discovered a promising youth in the Punishment Division! After looking at this guy using his spiritual perception, Jiu Shen realized that this young man was still fourteen! However, his cultivation had already reached the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint! 

"There are actually quite a few interesting ones among the new batch of disciples." Jiu Shen muttered with a look of interest. From the looks of it, the Division Heads and the Elders did a great job in handling the matters of the sword tower while he was away. 

"Indeed. Do you remember that girl? Her name is Sylphie Northcut, the one with dragon blood running in her veins. She left the Blood Sword Division and joined the Punishment Division. Long Meili rarely taught that child when she was still in the Profound Dragon Continent, but look at her now." Theia said while pointing at a young lady with a sharp and valiant disposition. 

Jiu Shen turned his gaze to the young lady that Theia mentioned. The last time he saw this girl, her cultivation was only at the mid stage of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader, but she was now an expert at the early stage of the Nascent G.o.d Realm! The girl"s hair has turned mint green and she was now wearing a knight"s armor.

"It looks like she idolizes you more than her master." Jiu Shen chuckled as he teased Theia who immediately rolled her eyes when she heard his words. 

"With the help of Qi Hongtian and his Pill Division, they shouldn"t have to worry about the poison of the Poison Valley. I thought I would have to intervene again, but it seems like I"ve underestimated those young ones." Jiu Shen said as he stood up. He then glanced at Theia and said with an ambiguous smile. "We"ve been cultivating for long, how about we do something else tonight?" 

Theia immediately glared at him when she heard his mischievous words, but she still followed Jiu Shen inside the hut.

"Greetings, master!" Sylphie bowed at Long Meili with an eager look on her face. The two of them have been separated for quite a while, so Sylphie missed her master a lot. Though she was strict and harsh with her teachings, Sylphie progressed at a fast speed that she had even surpa.s.sed those who were much older than her. 

Long Meili nodded her head in approval when she saw the great increase in her disciple"s cultivation. "Good! I know you won"t disappoint me. This time, you will follow me in battle!" 

"Yes, master!" Sylphie answered with a pa.s.sionate look. 

"Follow me. I"ll bring you to see the others." Long Meili said and dragged the confused Sylphie towards the largest tent in the army camp.

"Division Head Ren Shuang, did you see Ice?" Long Meili asked when she saw a black-robed man standing in front of the tent. 

Ren Shuang glanced at Long Meili and nodded his head. "She is inside the tent talking with Princess Cornelia." 

Hearing that, Long Meili swiftly grabbed Sylphie and dragged her inside the tent. Ren Shuang didn"t stop them and allowed them to go inside.

The eyes of Cornelia flickered with surprise when she saw the two ladies who had suddenly come inside the tent. She recognized the purple-haired one since she was one of Jiu Shen"s top subordinates, but the green-haired young lady was someone unfamiliar to her. 

"h.e.l.lo, Young Miss Meili. What brings you here? I"m sorry, but this young miss is?" Cornelia asked with a light smile on her face. 

Sylphie stepped forward and cupped her hands towards Cornelia. "My name is Sylphie Northcut, Your Highness. It"s a pleasure to meet you."

"She"s my disciple." Long Meili added with a smile as she stroked Sylphie"s long green hair. 

Cornelia smiled upon hearing the short introduction. "So it"s Sister Sylphie." 

The succubus then turned her gaze to Long Meili and asked probingly. "Young Miss Meili, to what do I owe this pleasure?" 

"I"m looking for Ice and Ren Shuang said that she is here with you." Long Meili answered as she looked around the tent. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she failed to discover Ice. She wondered where that fat cat went. 

The succubus chuckled when she noticed the look of Long Meili. She then said as she slowly rose to her feet. "Young Miss Ice has fallen asleep when we were talking earlier. I didn"t dare wake her up..." 

Long Meili and Sylphie stared at the chubby white cat sleeping comfortably in the succubus"s embrace. She had her fat cheeks planted in between those two huge melons. The faces of the master and disciple duo twitched when they saw this. Even Cornelia appeared to be slightly embarra.s.sed. 

"Since she"s asleep, let"s not wake her up. Anyway, how are the preparations, Princess Cornelia?" Long Meili asked as she sat on a chair opposite the succubus. Sylphie also followed suit and sat beside her master. 

Cornelia"s expression turned serious. She then carefully placed the sleeping Ice on top of a table before she answered. "Everything has been prepared. My father and Lord Yue Bo are both on stand-by near the palace. My big brother, Artaurus has also fully recovered. If we follow Lord Ren Shuang"s plan, nothing should go wrong." 

She tried to sound confident, but she still felt anxious in her heart.
