288: 144_3 288: 144_3 Ling Xi also performed a respectful hand gesture and said, “It’s an honor to meet you, Junior Brother.” She is the chief disciple of Four Treasures Peak, and moreover, since Wu Jianzi has acknowledged our master as a Pathfinder, she didn’t feel it appropriate to modestly call herself Junior Sister.
Pathfinder…
Such a prodigy, who defeated all the genius disciples of each Sword Peak within the Hundred Peaks Sect in a single day, actually took the initiative to acknowledge their own master as a Pathfinder.
This was something she couldn’t even dare to imagine before.
Although Wu Jianzi was not a true Junior Brother, she saw that Four Treasures Peak was becoming more and more prosperous, and envisioned an even brighter future for Four Treasures Peak.
When Wu Jianzi heard this address of ‘Junior Brother’, a genuinely happy smile appeared on his face, devoid of any pretense, just that pure, joyful smile.
“Eh, you’ve changed,” Little Bei Yan stated, looking at the smile on Wu Jianzi’s face.
“You weren’t like this just now.
You only look like this when you see Senior Sister.
I get it now, you have feelings for Senior Sister,” he exclaimed.
In an instant, Wu Jianzi’s defenses were shattered.
Indeed, the Senior Sister was very pretty, gentle in demeanor, and had an attractive figure, but that wasn’t what he was thinking at all!
What did they mean by ‘having ideas’?
Wu Jianzi quickly explained, “I didn’t think like that.
I…
When I represented our Sword Sect at the Hundred Peaks Sect, of course, I had to show the modesty befitting a gentleman.
But all of you are the disciples of my senior, we’re all part of the same family, so there’s no need for me to continue that pretense.
It’s too exhausting.”
At this moment, Wu Jianzi seemed much more authentic.
Ling Xi blushed, glanced at her master, and swiftly pulled Little Bei Yan behind her, exerting the authority of a Senior Sister as she scolded, “Little Junior Brother, speak not nonsense.”
Cao Zhen, without paying much attention to Little Bei Yan, continued to point to Yan Yourong as he introduced her, “This is my Second Disciple, Yan Yourong, who is adept at…
Sword Technique.”
Wu Jianzi bowed with his hands clasped and said, “Greetings, Senior Sister Yan.”
Yan Yourong nodded slightly and said, “When you have time, I would like to learn about your Swordsmanship.”
Her master was a Great Ability reincarnate.
Even if the other party was a disciple of the Sword Sect and skilled in sword duels, how could they possibly surpass her master?
What she was thinking now was that since the opponent was so strong in sword duels and without her master’s intervention, the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect would not be able to defeat him in sword dueling.
Therefore, Wu Jianzi’s Swordsmanship must also be extremely strong.
She delighted in sparring with the strong, as it was the only way to continuously refine herself.
“Sure, if Senior Sister is interested, your Junior Brother here has no objections,” replied Wu Jianzi readily.
His senior’s disciple must be extremely skilled in Sword Technique.
Cao Zhen quickly pointed to Xiang Ziyu and introduced him, “This is my Third Disciple, Xiang Ziyu, who is quite good at defensive techniques.”
The strongest aspect of Xiang Ziyu at present is that so-called Record of Deities and Demons; his defense is truly formidable.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Xiang,” Wu Jianzi said, somewhat surprised as he glanced at Xiang Ziyu.
Good at defense?
This was not apparent at all.
Xiang Ziyu lifted his head proudly and exclaimed with an unmistakable air of teenage grandiosity, “My master’s introduction was too brief, so you’d better remember clearly, Junior Brother.
I am the most crucial disciple of Four Treasures Peak.
Though I am not the strongest disciple right now, I will one day become the strongest disciple of Four Treasures Peak.
Because I am the true protagonist.”
“Uh…” Wu Jianzi suddenly didn’t know how to respond, finding his senior’s disciple somewhat abnormal.
Cao Zhen pulled Xiang Ziyu aside, moving him to the back, and pointed to Little Bei Yan as he introduced, “This is my Fourth Disciple, Bei Yan, whose Cultivation is somewhat mixed.”
As Little Bei Yan himself put it, his Immortal Body could both attack and take hits; wasn’t that somewhat mixed?
He certainly couldn’t say that Little Bei Yan excelled in sharp-tongued banter.
Wu Jianzi looked at the plump figure before him and still performed a respectful hand gesture as he said, “It’s an honor to meet you, Senior Brother Bei Yan.”
Little Bei Yan was immediately delighted and mimicked the gesture, greeting back, “It’s an honor to meet you, Junior Brother Wu Jianzi.”
Cao Zhen’s expression darkened as he said, “You’re just how old, and you’re calling him ‘Junior Brother’ too?
Say ‘Senior Brother’.
My disciples, with Ling Xi as the Senior Sister, it’s fine for her to speak of ‘Junior Brother’.
For Yan Yourong with her cold disposition, it’s already hard enough for her to utter ‘Junior Brother’.
Xiang Ziyu is a bit silly, and I don’t fuss over him.
But this Little Bei Yan, who is still just a little kid, and he’s also calling him ‘Junior Brother’?
That’s simply preposterous.”
As Cao Zhen finished speaking, Ling Xi and Yan Yourong immediately turned their icy gazes towards Bei Yan.
Feeling the scrutiny of his Senior Sisters, Little Bei Yan shouted with utmost sincerity, “Senior Brother.”
How aggrieved he felt.
He finally had a little Junior Sister at home, still lying down there.
He had just gotten a Junior Brother, and now he was instantly promoted to Senior Brother.
And he was still the youngest.
Once Cao Zhen finished introducing everyone, he continued, “I also have another younger disciple, Yi Sheng, who specializes in the Path of Flame.
However, he suffered an injury previously and is having some enlightenment, so he’s currently in seclusion for Cultivation.”
Wu Jianzi looked at the group and said somewhat apologetically, “When I came here initially, I intended to leave right after the sword duel and didn’t prepare anything.
However, I do have a Sword Technique, not belonging to our sect’s.
Although it does not surpass that of the senior’s Swordsmanship, it is quite interesting.
Would any of the Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters or Junior Brother be interested in sword cultivation?”
His intention was clear.
They had just met, so it was customary to offer a meeting gift.
He had nothing to offer, but he could leave a Sword Technique.
Ling Xi shook her head gently and said, “Thank you for your kind offer, Junior Brother, but none of us specialize in Swordsmanship.”
“None of you?” Wu Jianzi looked towards Cao Zhen, as he had thought that perhaps the one whose Cultivation was mixed, the little Senior Brother, might be practicing Swordsmanship.
But Senior Sister Ling Xi told him none of them practiced Swordsmanship.
