Chapter 1085: Chapter 1086: Convening the Assembly
“As long as you know! As long as you know!”
Lin Yifan was feeling triumphant and quite accomplished.
After being moved, Xiaofang reached out for the bracelet, “Where’s the Green Jewel Bracelet? Take it out and let see it?”
“What’s the rush? I’ll give it to you once I finish crafting it.”
“You said it, don’t go back on your word.”
Xiaofang knew Lin Yifan might just be saying it on a whim, so she didn’t urge him too hastily.
“I won’t go back on my word!” Lin Yifan answered firmly.
The two of them spent a loving mont in the lounge, and then the Valley Master called for a general assembly.
At this ti, all disciples and elders of the dicinal Saint Valley gathered at the martial arts field.
Lin Yifan, as the one being introduced, stood by the dicine Saint; and Xiaofang, being the dicine Saint’s confidant, also stood by their side.
Shortly after, the assembly began; the dicine Saint stood on the high platform and loudly announced, “From today onwards, this young brother beside will be my third disciple. As his seniors, you must take good care of him and be more accommodating, understand?”
“Oh co on! He’s so strong and overbearing, does he really need our care and accommodation?”
Many disciples in the audience rolled their eyes, but they dared not say it out loud; the Valley Master’s ears were famously sharp, capable of hearing even the buzz of a mosquito.
“Understood!”
They responded loudly, not daring to slack off.
“Yifan, introduce yourself to everyone!”
The dicine Saint had Lin Yifan step to the front of the stage to introduce himself to the seniors and so unfamiliar elders and deacons.
Following the dicine Saint’s instructions, Lin Yifan ca to the front of the stage and introduced himself, “Respected elders and deacons, dear seniors, good morning! My na is Lin Yifan, and I am my master’s newest disciple; I enjoy playing and my strength is quite diocre; please give guidance and bear with in the future!”
Lin Yifan’s politeness earned him recognition from the elders and deacons below, but the disciples of the dicinal Saint Valley were not necessarily buying it.
“With such strength, who is he kidding trying to be humble!”
“If you like to play, go back to the Secular World and don’t waste ti here, affecting our mood.”
“Proud just because he’s the direct disciple of the Valley Master, it’s disgusting!”
“If he’s here to take the position of Young Valley Master, even if it kills us, we won’t accept it or vote for him!”
…
Many disciples in the audience showed disdainful expressions, not taking kindly to Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan saw so faces showing disgust, either due to misunderstandings or because his presence threatened their status or the status of their senior brother, among other reasons.
He wouldn’t let these people affect his mood, as it wasn’t worth it.
After announcing this, the dicine Saint dismissed the gathering.
At this ti, the elders and deacons of the dicinal Saint Valley ca forward to congratulate, “Valley Master! Congratulations on gaining another gifted disciple.”
“Yes indeed! The Valley Master is truly fortunate, if only we had the sa luck, we wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
“Alas! It’s all thanks to everyone’s blessing that I could find such a good disciple; otherwise, it might take a hundred years to find one,” the dicine Saint humbly replied.
But in Lin Yifan’s ears, these words seed to have a hidden aning, very jarring.
He already realized the dicine Saint was a crafty old man; taking on a disciple might be to complete so challenging task, like gathering the seven Immortal Rings.
He didn’t take him as a disciple just for the sake of it; everything had a purpose, except maybe Xiaofang.
He might have taken Xiaofang as a disciple due to needing a maid to look after daily life, but there’s also a possibility of grooming a pawn to use when the ti is right.
Speaking of this, Lin Yifan suddenly thought of the “Soul Prohibition.”
The “Soul Prohibition” on his forehead had already been removed by the Qingxu Immortal, but Xiaofang’s hadn’t yet.
He feared that if the dicine Saint ran out of options, he might threaten him with Xiaofang’s life to hand over the Immortal Ring; so to prevent this, he must help Xiaofang remove the Soul Prohibition.
However, Xiaofang might not believe in such things as the “Soul Prohibition,” nor in the idea that her master would harm her; therefore, he couldn’t let Xiaofang know about this and must help remove the Soul Prohibition from her forehead without her knowing.
For now, his skills in array formation were not yet adequate, so this matter had to be put aside temporarily; he would act when he had gained sufficient knowledge.
The dicine Saint was having a pleasant conversation with the valley elders, while Lin Yifan and Xiaofang stood awkwardly and at a loss.
Those flattering words were endless, and as they listened on, they both couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
So, they sneaked away to stroll and share romantic monts in the valley, leaving the dicine Saint behind.
The senior brother of the dicinal Saint Valley wasn’t present at this gathering; he was in secluded training and didn’t need to attend any gatherings, a privilege given by the dicine Saint.
After the assembly was dismissed, many disciples who were unfamiliar with Lin Yifan and didn’t have strong prejudices against him started to discuss.
“What’s this guy’s background? Why did he win the Valley Master’s favor?”
“Who knows, rumors say he’s so kind of cultivation genius.”
“Cultivation genius? Hardly! At his age, to be at this realm isn’t impressive, Senior Brother Zhu Kang is way more impressive.”
“I have no idea about that.”
Elsewhere, so infatuated female disciples wore faces of admiration.
“The new junior brother is so handso! It would be great to be with him!”
“Don’t even think about it, he’s already taken.”
“Taken? By whom?”
“Our Sister Xiaofang!”
“No way, I heard she liked the senior brother, how did she co to fancy the new junior brother?”
“How would I know, maybe she had a change of heart.”
“The senior brother is so outstanding, and handso too, why would she abandon him for the new junior brother?”
“You didn’t know people these days like fresh faces?”
“But the senior brother is also quite young?”
“Relatively, this one is younger still.”
“Sigh! Who knows what Sister Xiaofang is thinking; but this might be good, we can legally pursue the senior brother now!”
…
Walking along the mountain paths in the valley, Lin Yifan and Xiaofang enjoyed the valley’s beauty while sharing romantic monts, very at ease.
In their current state, they didn’t seem to be there for cultivation but rather appeared to be on a tour, envying others greatly.
The dicinal Saint Valley truly was a beautifully scenic place, with flowers and green trees everywhere, and the water in the river was clear to the bottom, where swimming little fish could be seen clearly.
Besides that, the Spiritual Energy here was dense, suitable for nurturing and cultivation, no wonder it’s called a corner of the Cultivation World, truly different from the Secular World.
