Chapter 575: Chapter 575: No, I Want to Worship the Senior as My Master! (3rd Update)
When night fell,
the vast Feiyan Fortress was brilliantly lit and bustling with activity.
Countless servants were scurrying about, busy preparing for tonight’s banquet.
To welcome Liu Keke’s arrival, Feiyan Fortress had gone to great lengths, inviting many experts and celebrities from Bafang City.
Of course, as the benefactor who had saved the second young miss of Feiyan Fortress, even if Lian Yunzhi was reluctant, they still had to do the superficial work, so Xue An was also invited.
By the time Xue An arrived at the banquet hall, the feast was about to begin.
Many of the celebrities from Bafang City were gathered together, chatting leisurely.
No one noticed Xue An’s arrival.
Xue An was happy to be undisturbed and casually found a seat to sit down and start eating on his own.
He was enjoying his meal,
when suddenly there was a commotion up front.
Someone exclaimed, “They’re here! The people have arrived!”
Xue An looked up.
He saw Lian Yunzhi and the others from Feiyan Fortress accompanying a woman with long hair down to her waist, a beautiful face, and bare feet.
Xue An’s lips curled slightly.
So this was the Puppet Master?
After one glance, Xue An continued to eat and drink with his head down.
However, Liu Keke seemed to sense something and looked around.
“Sister Liu, what’s wrong?” Lian Yunzhi asked.
“Oh! It’s nothing!” Liu Keke replied, shaking her head.
But she was somewhat puzzled in her heart. She had clearly felt someone watching her just now, right?
And that aura was the same as the Divine Sense that had stealthily observed her earlier today.
Who could it be?
At this moment, Lian Yuanhua, with a ruddy face, stood up and said to everyone,
“It’s my honor that all of you could come to attend the banquet today! And I would like to introduce to everyone, this lady is Liu Keke, the True Disciple of the Mountain Sea Sect from the Central Province!”
The news of today’s events had already spread throughout Bafang City, and naturally, everyone who came to attend the banquet knew about it.
But now, hearing Lian Yuanhua’s introduction, they couldn’t help but show a look of awe.
For cultivators in the Northwest, the major sects of the Central Province represent powerful strength.
Lian Yuanhua was very pleased with the reaction of those below and continued, “Miss Liu’s visit to Feiyan Fortress today is due to the deep friendship between my daughter Yunzhi and her. You should know that my daughter Yunzhi is now a True Disciple of the inner circle of the Mountain Sea Sect!”
After boasting for a while, Lian Yuanhua coughed lightly and then said, “The reason for holding this banquet today is that I have a favor to ask.”
As he said this, Lian Yuanhua gave his daughter a meaningful look.
Lian Yunzhi smiled slightly, “Sister Liu, my younger sister is exactly twelve years old this year, and I am thinking of having her join a major sect for cultivation. Coincidentally, we met today and I would like her to become a disciple at your Puppet Sect. What do you think?”
Liu Keke’s expression changed slightly, and she felt a bit displeased in her heart.
So all this enthusiasm was to have her take on an apprentice!
But upon second thought, it was also not appropriate to refuse outright, so she said indifferently, “That can be discussed, but I would also need to assess her aptitude and talent first!”
“Naturally!” Lian Yunzhi said with a beaming smile upon hearing this and immediately ordered someone to call the third young miss.
In fact, this was a spur-of-the-moment idea by Lian Yuanhua, who then discussed it with his daughter Lian Yunzhi; finding it feasible, they decided to proceed.
After all, the Puppet Sect was also considered a major sect in the Central Province, with incredibly formidable strength.
And if Lian Yunluo could become a disciple in the Puppet Sect, it would bring numerous benefits to Feiyan Fortress.
It would be as if Feiyan Fortress had disciples in two major sects in the Central Province!
Very soon, Lian Yunluo was brought over.
The little girl still didn’t know what was happening and stood there, looking dumbfounded at the crowd.
Liu Keke concentrated her gaze for a moment before remaining silent.
With a smile, Lian Yunzhi asked, “Junior Sister Liu, what do you think of my little sister’s aptitude?”
Liu Keke sighed, “Indeed, worthy of a cultivator noble family, your sister’s aptitude and talent are both top-notch!”
In fact, this was nothing unusual.
As part of a cultivator noble family, Lian Yunluo was nurtured in the womb with all kinds of precious treasures from heaven and earth, all to cultivate a superior meridian Spiritual Root.
After her birth, she was further bathed in an array of rare medicinal ingredients.
With such a colossal investment, her aptitude and talent were self-evident.
Lian Yunzhi, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and turned to call out, “Yunluo, why don’t you kneel and take her as your master?”
Lian Yunluo didn’t move, her little face first showing confusion before gradually clearing up.
“Take a master?”
“Yes! This Immortal Master from the Puppet Sect will be your teacher from now on!” said Lian Yunzhi.
But Lian Yunluo shook her head in response.
“No, I won’t take her as my master!”
This statement, like a thunderclap, astonished everyone in the room.
Lian Yuanhua was so angered that his face turned ashen, and he was about to chastise her when Lian Yunzhi stopped him, then turned to her little sister with a smile.
“Little sister, why won’t you take her as your master? You know, even I admire this expert. If you become her disciple, you could become very powerful! Plus, you’ll have fun controlling puppets!”
Lian Yunzhi thought her sister was worried about the hardships of cultivation, thus intentionally mentioned the control over puppets.
However, Lian Yunluo still shook her head firmly, “No, I won’t take her. I want to take the senior as my master!”
“Senior?” Even Liu Keke couldn’t help but ask in surprise and glanced at Lian Yunzhi.
Although she said nothing, the implication was clear.
If you’ve already found a master for your little sister, why come to me?
Lian Yunzhi’s expression darkened upon hearing this and she asked again, “What did you just say?”
Lian Yunluo, usually both respectful and fearful of her older sister, was unusually adamant this time and said, “I want to take the senior as my master!”
Saying so, she turned around, glanced around the room, and when she saw Xue An sitting in a corner, she went straight to him.
As she moved, everyone’s gaze involuntarily followed.
When Lian Yunluo stood beside Xue An and respectfully addressed him as senior,
the room erupted in turmoil.
Many had not seen Xue An before, and they inevitably began to discuss among themselves.
“Who is this person? Never seen him before, have we?”
“Yes, he seems to have no fluctuation in cultivation level; he must be an ordinary person!”
“Look at his eyes!”
“He’s a member of the Hua Clan!”
Amid these murmurs, Xue An leisurely swallowed the food in his mouth before turning his head to smile at Lian Yunluo.
“You want to take me as your master?”
Lian Yunluo nodded vigorously, “Yes! I want to take you as my master, just like my second sister!”
This statement caused Lian Yunting’s complexion in the crowd to pale.
Today, the fact that she had taken a new master was something only her little sister knew; she had not expected her to reveal it so openly.
And Lian Yunzhi was almost driven to fury, her gaze filled with murderous intent as she looked at Xue An.
As for Liu Keke, she watched Xue An with eyes brimming with curiosity.
This Hua Clan man was quite handsome, especially those eyes. When he smiled, they seemed to gleam as if the sun and moon were shining within them, irresistibly drawing people into their depths.
And Liu Keke felt that this Hua Clan man seemed somehow familiar.
Yet she couldn’t remember why.
